Agrees to a £243 million takeover by Bally’s Intralot, which values the owner of William Hill and 888 at 52p per share. The recommended offer follows five approaches from Intralot during Evoke’s strategic review, which was launched in response to higher UK gambling duties that the company estimated could increase its annual tax bill by £125 million to £135 million. Under the deal, shareholders can receive new Intralot shares or elect for a cash alternative, subject to a cap. Intralot expects the combination to deliver around £180 million of cost and capital expenditure synergies by the end of the second year after completion and says the enlarged group will benefit from greater scale, improved diversification and a stronger financial profile. ---------- Imaging Biometrics Ltd, up 33% at 0.80p pence, 12-month range 0.40p-1.40p. Reports positive phase 2 trial results for its IB Neuro platform, which it says demonstrated meaningful outcomes and the ability to provide early, objective signals of treatment response. The medical imaging technology company says the findings position IB Neuro as a significant clinical tool for assessing patient outcomes and supporting treatment decisions. ---------- Defence Holdings PLC, up 29% at 1.35 pence, 12-month range 0.30p-4.90p. Confirms the publication of a UK government transparency notice relating to a proposed contract for the testing of integrated intelligence capabilities.

Says May marked the first full month of operating revenue as it continues to build its streaming business across bitcoin and precious metals. The company says it has completed the restructuring of its legacy Asian assets, strengthened the business with new hires and maintained a disciplined operating model. Bluebird adds it is entering the second half of 2026 in a significantly stronger financial position, with net asset value per share rising 63% month-on-month to $43 as at June 2. ---------- ADM Energy PLC, down 15% at 0.02 pence, 12-month range 0.020p-0.10p.
