Overview
Allwyn held its first Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting since completing its merger with OPAP in March 2026.

When the merger between Allwyn and OPAP was announced in October 2025, OPAP shares traded above €20. Since then, the market value has declined steadily to recent lows near €12 under the new Allwyn ticker.
During the meeting, CEO Robert Chvátal and CFO Kenneth Morton answered shareholder questions regarding:
- valuation decline,
- market expectations,
