Assuming Equities were to exercise all of the Warrants that it owns, this transaction has resulted in Equities increasing its interest in the outstanding ordinary shares of NYX (the "Ordinary Shares") by 3.2%.

In addition to the Warrants, Equities owns 8,621,300 Ordinary Shares. Immediately prior to the purchase of the Warrants, Equities owned approximately 8% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.

NYX has recently announced that it has entered into an Arrangement Agreement with Scientific Games Corporation whereby, subject to the approval of NYX shareholders, Scientific Games would acquire all the outstanding Ordinary Shares at CDN$2.40 per share. William Hill Steeplechase Limited, a significant shareholder of NYX, has reported that it intends to convert certain preferred shares of NYX such that it will own approximately 32% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding. NYX is reported to be opposing that conversion.

Neither Equities, nor Banknote has any agreements, commitments or understandings with NYX, William Hill or Scientific Games in connection with the Ordinary Shares and Warrants it has acquired.
