- Reported amount: 145,375 notional shares at $107.13 each; aggregate reported value $15,573,762.
- Derivative specifics (Footnote 1): reference price $107.1282/share; swap matures and will be cash-settled on March 2, 2028. At maturity the Reporting Person pays the counterparty for any drop below the reference price and receives from the counterparty any rise above it.

- Parties (Footnote 2): Lake Michigan Limited is the direct holder of the reported notional shares; LBS Limited is party to prior swap transactions covering an aggregate of 7,453,418 notional shares. As owner of those entities, Mr. Dart may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities but disclaims such ownership except for his pecuniary interest.

Context
This was a derivative acquisition (a swap) that gives Mr. Dart economic exposure to Flutter stock rather than transfer of physical shares. For retail investors, derivative purchases by large owners indicate exposure without direct share ownership; they involve financing costs and counterparty settlement terms. The filing appears timely and contains standard swap terms (reference price, cash settlement, dividend and financing adjustments).
