IG Group Holdings plc is set to host a virtual investor seminar on October 8, 2026, to outline its planned acquisition of Underdog, a U.S.-based daily fantasy sports and prediction markets business. The event, running from 2:00 pm to 3:15 pm BST, will feature presentations from Jeremy Levine, co-founder and CEO of Underdog, as well as Breon Corcoran, IG’s chief executive officer, and Clifford Abrahams, its chief financial officer. Following the presentations, there will be a question-and-answer session, with materials made available on IG’s investor relations website afterward.
The acquisition of Underdog was agreed upon by IG Group on July 30, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. The deal aligns with IG’s broader strategy to expand its digital gaming and entertainment offerings, which include retail and institutional trading services. IG Group, headquartered in London and listed on the London Stock Exchange, is also hosting a separate in-person and livestreamed strategy update on October 22, 2026, at UBS in London. This update will cover the company’s capital allocation framework and revised guidance for the enlarged group post-acquisition.
In addition to the October 8 seminar, Jeremy Levine will participate in a fireside chat at the Bank of America Gaming and Lodging Conference in New York on October 9, 2026, at 3:40 pm Eastern Time. The event is webcast by Bank of America, with a replay available on IG’s investor relations website.
Underdog’s operations focus on daily fantasy sports and prediction markets, catering to a niche but rapidly growing segment of the gaming and entertainment industry. The company’s leadership team, including Levine, has been instrumental in developing its product offerings and operational strategy, which IG Group aims to integrate into its existing portfolio of financial services and digital entertainment platforms.
