This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO in connection with the offer by Amaya Gaming Group Inc., a publicly traded company incorporated in the Canadian province of Quebec under the Business Corporations Act (Quebec) (“Amaya”), to acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of CryptoLogic Limited, a publicly traded company incorporated in Geurnsey (“CryptoLogic”), to the extent that such ordinary shares are not already owned by Amaya. In the Offer, Amaya is offering $2.535 in cash in exchange for each outstanding CryptoLogic Share. This Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

All information in the Offer Document which was previously filed as Exhibit 99.(a)(1) on Schedule TO, is incorporated herein by reference in response to all applicable items of Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Schedule TO shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer Document.

Items 1 through 11

Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

1. Responses to Question 12 and Question 13 of “Frequently Asked Questions” of the Offer Document are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Question 12 - The first sentence of the first paragraph of the response to this Question is deleted and replaced with the following:

“If the Offer has not become unconditional by 3.00 p.m. London time, (10.00 a.m. Toronto time) on 28 March 2012, Amaya may choose, but shall not be obliged, to extend the Initial Acceptance Period.”

Question 13 - The following sentence is added at the end of the first paragraph of the response to this Question:

“The public announcement will include the new expiration time and date of the Initial Acceptance Period.”

2. Paragraph 10 “Acquisition of CryptoLogic Shares not Acquired as a Result of the Offer and Mandatory Exchange of Exchangeable Shares” of Part 2 of the Offer Document is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

A new sub-paragraph (e) is included as follows:

“Other than as set forth in sub-paragraphs 10(b) and 10(c), there are no other means under applicable law to squeeze out minority CryptoLogic Shareholders. Therefore, in the event that the acceptance condition (as defined in Section B of Part 3 to this Offer Document) is satisfied but the total amount of CryptoLogic Shares acquired by Amaya under the Offer does not meet the required threshold to conduct a compulsory acquisition either under Companies Law (Guernsey) or the CryptoLogic Memorandum and Articles, Amaya will become a majority shareholder of CryptoLogic.

Under Companies Law (Guernsey), a majority shareholder holding more than 50%, but less than 75%, of the issued share capital of CryptoLogic will be able to approve ordinary resolutions of CryptoLogic, including resolutions to do the following: appointing directors; ratifying the actions of directors; appointing and removing the auditor; altering CryptoLogic’s share capital; giving the directors authority to issue new shares; and approving on-market acquisitions by CryptoLogic of its own shares.

In addition to the matters listed above, a majority shareholder holding 75% or more, but less than 90%, of the issued share capital of CryptoLogic will be able to approve almost all critical corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including: removing directors; amending the rights attaching to issued shares; altering CryptoLogic’s articles of incorporation; approving off-market acquisitions by CryptoLogic of its own shares; winding-up of the company; conversion of CryptoLogic into another form of company; migration of CryptoLogic to another jurisdiction; approval of a scheme of arrangement (subject to Court sanction and any condition which may be imposed by the Court, including minority approval); and approval of an amalgamation or merger. See paragraph 9 of Part 2 of this Offer Document”

4


A. a notice of change relating to a change in the information contained in this Offer Document, as amended from time to time, that would reasonably be expected to affect the decision of a CryptoLogic Shareholder to accept or reject the Offer (provided that the change to which the notice of change relates occurred prior to the Offer being declared wholly unconditional or after such date but prior to the expiry of all rights to withdraw CryptoLogic Shares under the bid); or

 

B. a notice of variation in the terms of the Offer, is mailed, delivered or otherwise properly communicated. This ten day period may be abridged pursuant to such order or orders as may be granted by applicable courts or securities regulatory authorities.

Sub-paragraph 6(t) is deleted and replaced with the following:

“Execution of a Form of Acceptance or other acceptance of the Offer by or on behalf of a CryptoLogic Shareholder will constitute such shareholder’s agreement that the Courts of England are (subject to paragraph 6(u) of this Section B) to have jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise in connection with the creation, validity, effect, interpretation or performance of, or the legal relationships established by the Offer and the Form of Acceptance or otherwise arising in connection with the Offer and the Form of Acceptance, and for such purposes that the accepting CryptoLogic Shareholder irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Courts of England, provided that nothing in this paragraph 6(t) shall preclude a CryptoLogic Shareholder from bringing an action in the jurisdiction in which the Offer is made to such CryptoLogic Shareholder under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.”
