Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On October 20, 2026, Flutter Entertainment plc (the “Company”) committed to a restructuring plan affecting the Company’s United Kingdom & Ireland (“UK&I”) business, including its operations in the UK and Ireland, and UK&I staff at Flutter hubs, including in Portugal and Romania (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Restructuring Plan is designed to mitigate the impact of increases in UK gaming taxation, in accordance with the Company’s previously announced UK gaming tax mitigation plans. The Restructuring Plan is expected to entail a reduction in headcount of up to 1,400 employees. The Company began notifying affected employees of the actions contemplated by the Restructuring Plan on October 20, 2026.
The Company currently estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges of approximately $80 to $90 million in connection with the Restructuring Plan, consisting primarily of cash expenditure related to employee severance, benefits, and related costs. The Company also expects to record certain non-cash charges in respect of stock-based compensation; however, such charges cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The associated costs to implement the Restructuring Plan were captured within the updated guidance issued within Flutter’s Earnings Update for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The Company expects to substantially complete the Restructuring Plan by the end of 2026 with associated charges to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to applicable legal and employee notice and consultation requirements. The charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Restructuring Plan are estimates and are subject to a number of assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the Restructuring Plan.

Exhibit 99.1 New York, October 20, 2026: Flutter Entertainment plc (NYSE: FLUT) (“Flutter”) the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator announces the restructuring of its UK & Ireland business in response to the increase in UK gaming taxes announced in the 2025 Autumn budget. Flutter announced plans today to restructure its UK & Ireland business. This restructuring forms part of the already guided first-order cost mitigation1 in response to the significant increase in UK gaming taxation announced in last year’s Autumn Budget by the UK Government2. Whilst these plans will be subject to consultation, it is expected to result in up to 1,400 redundancies. The decision will impact colleagues in a number of locations including Leeds, UK and Dublin, Ireland as well as UK & Ireland staff at Flutter hubs including Porto, Portugal and Cluj-Napoca, Romania. We continue to expect these tax increases to have a very significant impact on the overall market. The restructure announced today is expected to support Flutter in delivering material second order mitigation benefits, by preserving investment in our customer proposition, and underpins our confidence in our ability t…
