500.com Limited Announces Unaudited Financial Results for the First Quarter ended March 31, 2020

SHENZHEN, China, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 500.com Limited (NYSE: WBAI) ("500.com," "the Company," "we," "us," "our company," or "our"), an online sports lottery service provider in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Suspension of Online Sports Lottery Sales in China

All provincial sports lottery administration centers to which the Company provided sports lottery sales services have suspended accepting online purchase orders for lottery products in response to the Notice related to Self-Inspection and Self-Remedy of Unauthorized Online Lottery Sales (the "Self-Inspection Notice"), which was jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China on January 15, 2015. In response to the Self-Inspection Notice, on April 4, 2015, the Company decided to voluntarily suspend all online lottery sales services. As a result of the provincial sport lottery administration centers' decision to suspend accepting online lottery orders and the Company's voluntary suspension of all online sports lottery sales services in China, the Company has not generated any revenue from these services since April 2015.

Temporary Suspension of Operations in Sweden

The Multi Group ("TMG"), a Malta-based subsidiary of the Company, has temporarily suspended its operations in Sweden as TMG did not complete the renewal of its e-Gaming license before it expired. The Company promptly issued a Current Report on Form 6-K dated January 13, 2020 regarding this situation, and provided an update through another Current Report on Form 6-K dated February 20, 2020. TMG has submitted all the application materials and is in close communication with Sweden's e-Gaming regulatory authority to complete the renewal process. The Company's revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 have been, and for the fiscal year of 2020 are expected to be, materially and adversely impacted by the temporary suspension of TMG's operations in Sweden. Revenue generated by TMG accounted for approximately 89.7% of the Company's total net revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, of which approximately 61.3% was generated from Sweden.

Internal Investigation Still in Progress

On December 31, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") had formed a Special Investigation Committee (the "SIC") to internally investigate alleged illegal money transfers and the role played by consultants following the arrest of one consultant (also a former director of the Company's subsidiary in Japan) and two former consultants by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. On January 16, 2020, the Company announced that the SIC had retained King & Wood Mallesons LLP ("KWM") as its legal advisor to assist with its internal investigation.

As of today, the internal investigation being conducted by KWM is still in progress. Accordingly, the Company currently is unable to conclude what impact it may have on the Company's financial statements and internal control over financial reporting.

Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2019

The Company filed a Current Report on Form 6-K dated April 29, 2020 in compliance with and reliance upon the Securities and Exchange Commission's Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and certain Rules thereunder (Release No. 34-88318), dated March 4, 2020 (the "Relief Order"). Pursuant to the Relief Order, the Company stated, among other things, that: (1) the Company is relying on the Relief Order to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report") due to circumstances related to COVID-19; and (2) the Company is unable to file the Annual Report on a timely basis as a result of, among other things, travel restrictions, quarantines and staffing issues due to circumstances related to COVID-19.

As of today, the Company is still preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and assessing its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In addition, Friedman LLP ("Friedman"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has not completed its audit of the Company's financial statements and audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, due to the impact of COVID-19 and because the abovementioned internal investigation is still in progress.
