Q3 Trading Update and Capital Markets Day
LONDON, MONTREAL and NEW YORK (10 November, 2015) - Paysafe Group Plc, formerly Optimal Payments Plc, (LSE AIM: PAYS, "Paysafe", the "Group" or the "Company") provides an update on third-quarter trading ahead of its Capital Markets Day presentation in London later today.

Trading Update
· The Group has continued to enjoy strong trading during Q3 and full-year Group revenue and EBITDA before synergies are in line with management expectations.
· The acquisition of digital payments business Skrill completed in August 2015. The Group is pleased to report that the acquired business has completely absorbed the continuing adverse impact previously disclosed in relation to Greece and is nonetheless trading in line with the management expectations set out at the time of the transaction.
· In addition, the integration of the new Group is proceeding ahead of schedule - as a result, circa $5-10 million of synergy savings are expected to be achieved by the end of Q4 2015, ahead of management's previously-expected Q1, 2016 timeline.

Paysafe President and CEO Joel Leonoff said:

"This has been a transformational year for the Company. We are particularly encouraged by the positive momentum we are seeing across all our divisions. We are trading well due to the continued strength of our business, strong cost control and accelerated synergies arising from the Skrill acquisition. Our growing digital payments business, under our new Paysafe brand, is focused on delivering sustainable profitable growth and we are very pleased with the progress we are making."

isn't this the FOURTH change of name for this company!!??

Yes. I'm not sure why some management teams think that changing a name enhances the company's profile. I suppose they think it draws a line under the past (possible dubious history) and encourages new investors. Or maybe there are some nasties lurking in the old set of books..........!!!!

I'm not sure but think I saw pigs flying this morning -- must be a reason for it !!!

Berenberg views payment services industry as a structurally growing industry, it says in note as it initiates European payment coverage.

- sector's transaction volume growth drive by GDP growth and non-cash based transactions gaining share vs. cash.
- M&A activity is rife as new money from venture capital funds is attracted by growth

Paysafe Group preferred stock in industry and sees its discount vs sector is unjustified. New buy, tp 431p

Good to see main list within a month. Should now see funds/trackers getting in.

Proposed move to Main Market
LONDON (25 November, 2015) - Further to previous announcements, Paysafe Group Plc confirms its intention to apply for admission to listing of its ordinary shares to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admission to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities. Pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies, the Company therefore hereby gives notice of the intended cancellation of trading of its shares on the AIM market of the LSE.

It is expected that the Company's shares will be admitted to the Official List, commence trading on the Main Market and simultaneously be cancelled on AIM effective at 8.00 a.m. on 23 December 2015 (the "Admission Date"), subject to the receipt of the necessary approvals from the UK Listing Authority and the LSE. The Company will issue a prospectus in connection with the Admission prior to the Admission Date. The prospectus will be made available on the Company's website at www.paysafe.com.

The Company is not raising any funds or issuing any new shares in connection with Admission. No Shares will be offered or marketed to the public in the UK or elsewhere in connection with Admission or the publication of the prospectus.

The completion of the acquisition of Skrill in August 2015 provides the Company with a solid platform for the move, and the Board considers that admission to the Official List will increase the Company's profile, assisting in the liquidity of the Company's shares and providing a greater range of potential investors for the Company.

Following Admission, shareholders in the Company will be able to trade shares on the Main Market.

Following completion of the move to the Main Market, it is expected that the Company's ordinary shares would be eligible for inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index of the London Stock Exchange. The Company anticipates the date at which the Company will be considered for inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index will be the quarterly review in March 2016.

Paysafe Group said it cyber breaches back in 2009/10 resulted in limited account details of 3.6m Neteller accounts falling into the hands of third parties, along with basic personal details relating to 4.2m Skrill accounts.

"Such data does not include passwords, card data or bank account information. Paysafe engaged a major accounting firm as part of its investigation, which has verified these findings," the company said.

It said less than 2% of those Neteller and Skrill accounts were active in the six months to Nov. 1, 2015.

"The Company believes that this data emanated from the cyber-attacks in 2009 and 2010 and is not aware of any similar breaches since that time.

"The Company is confident that this data will not in itself allow any existing NETELLER or Skrill customer accounts to be accessed."

All financials doing well today, PAYS no exception. Through 370p level.
