The company said the deal should go through in the first quarter of next year, subject to satisfaction of remaining conditions, including a shareholder vote and the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority's approval of the re-admission of 888 shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List.
888 reiterated that it planned to raise around £500m via a capital raise - currently expected to occur before completion of the acquisition.
