ABOUT UNiTAB

Introduction

UNiTAB is a leading provider of:

• totalisator and fixed odds betting products in Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory via retail outlets, hotels and clubs, telephone and internet;
• gaming machine monitoring and value-adding services in Queensland, Northern Territory and New South Wales.

Brief history

The Company's origins date back to 1962 when the Totalisator Administration Board of Queensland (Board) was established as a statutory authority to conduct off-course totalisator betting in Queensland. The Board became corporatised on 1 July 1999 as a Government-owned entity.

In November 1999 UNiTAB (then known as TAB Queensland Limited) listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited by a public float. At the time of listing UNiTAB held licences to conduct racing and sports wagering in Queensland and also licences to provide monitoring and value-added services for gaming machines in Queensland.

On 29 June 2000 UNiTAB (via a wholly-owned subsidiary) purchased the Northern Territory TAB from the Northern Territory Government. On 1 July 2001 UNiTAB (via a wholly-owned subsidiary) was granted the licence in the Northern Territory to provide gaming machine monitoring services throughout the Territory. This was followed by the acquisition of the South Australian TAB from the South Australian Government on 14 January 2002. On 1 January 2005 UNiTAB acquired licences in New South Wales to provide gaming machine monitoring services to the 100,000 gaming machines in that State and also to provide statewide linked jackpots to New South Wales gaming venues.

UNiTAB race and sports wagering businesses are supported by a racing radio network which broadcasts through 73 transmitters in Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory across the jurisdictions in which it operates. The UNiTAB Group employs in excess of 1,100 full-time, permanent part-time and casual employees.
