According to the company's representatives, the NSDC sanctions against the Parimatch group of companies were imposed unreasonably, which is a direct violation of the Law of Ukraine "On Sanctions" (the "Sanctions Law").

According to Parimatch, the Parimatch Group of Companies, by its actions, has never created real or potential risks to the national interests, national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine or any other state. The Parimatch group of companies did not contribute to terrorist activities, human rights violations, the interests of Ukrainian society and the state. The lawful actions of the Parimatch group of companies do not have any causal link with the occupation of the territory, expropriation or restriction of property rights, loss of property, creation of obstacles to sustainable economic development or the full exercise by Ukrainian citizens of their rights and freedoms.

Parimatch opened its ownership structure, where it showed all the companies that are part of the holding. At the moment, there are no citizens and/or legal entities of the Russian Federation in the ownership structure of the Parimatch group of companies that would either directly or indirectly own a share in the group or have influence on the group. In addition, Ukrainian Parimatch has always held licenses to carry out activities for the organization and conduct of gambling in Ukraine. Therefore, it was under the supervision of the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries, which checks gambling organizers for the presence of beneficial owners or shareholders of citizens or residents of the aggressor state, which confirms the absence of citizens or residents of the Russian Federation in the ownership structure of Parimatch.
