Tipp24 SE / Key word(s): Strategic Company Decision

20.10.2014 / 08:59


(London, 20 October 2014) Tipp24 SE is taking the next step in its development by renaming the company ZEAL Network SE. The planned name change reflects the company's wider strategic focus which has expanded over the past few years beyond the original consumer-facing business.

Today, Tipp24 SE is active in three lines of business: First, the company consolidates revenues from the well-established consumer-facing secondary lottery business under the Tipp24.com brand. Second, Tipp24 SE offers business to business services for licensed lottery operators such as state lotteries and for non-governmental organisations under the brands Lottovate and Lotto Network. Third, Tipp24 operates its own lotto games, such as the innovative GeoLotto which has been launched in the United Kingdom end of September.

Dr Hans Cornehl, Chief Executive Officer of Tipp24 SE: "Renaming the company ZEAL is the next logical step for our business: it reflects the broader focus of our company and it captures perfectly our aspiration to create a better world of lottery."

Tipp24 has invited its shareholders to an Extraordinary General Meeting in London on 19 November 2014. The sole resolution on the agenda will be the renaming of the company to ZEAL Network SE. If shareholders accept the proposal with the required majority, the new name will come into effect a few days later.
