PART
I
ITEM
- BUSINESS.
Overview
Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”, “Inspired”, “we” or “us”) is a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform and other products and services to licensed online and land-based lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, on a business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our customers operating digital channels, on aggregator platforms, and in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls and motorway service areas for our customers operating land-based venues.
Our customer base includes licensed lotteries, sports bookmakers, operators of gaming and bingo halls, casinos, online operators, adult gaming centers, pubs and motorway service areas. Some of our key customers include William Hill, SNAI, Sisal, Betfred, Paddy Power, Betfair, Jenningsbet, Corbett Bookmakers, Genting, bet365, Sky Bet, the Greek Organisation of Football Prognostics S.A. (OPAP.), Entain, DraftKings, FanDuel, the Pennsylvania Lottery, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (“AGLC”), the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (“WCLC”), Moto, Welcome Break, Buzz Bingo, Mecca Bingo, JD Wetherspoon, Merkur Slots and Luxury Leisure. Geographically, 69% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was generated from our United Kingdom (“UK”) operations, with the remainder generated from Greece, North America and the rest of the world. Our products are designed to operate within applicable gaming, virtual sports and lottery regulations.
We conduct business across different jurisdictions, of which the UK, Italy and Greece have historically contributed the most significant recurring revenue. Since 2021, we have begun to conduct a meaningful amount of business in regulated North American markets and states. We are licensed or certified (as applicable) by the Gambling Commission in the UK, (the “UK Gambling Commission”), the Hellenic Gaming Commission in Greece, and registered with L’Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (“ADM”) in Italy. We are licensed by regulators in other jurisdictions such as the Malta Gaming Authority (Malta), the Licensing Authority of Gibraltar (Gibraltar), the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (Channel Islands), the Belgian Kansspel Commissie (Belgium), Oficiul National pentru Jocuri de Noroc (Romania), Spelinspektionen, the Swedish Gaming Authority (Sweden), Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo (MINCETUR) in Peru, and we hold licenses with the U.S. states of Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Delaware, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
We are headquartered in the U.S., with principal operating facilities located in the UK and India. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,020 employees, approximately 920 of whom were full-time. We generated total revenue of $304.1 million and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $111.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol INSE. The Company had an equity market capitalization of approximately $251.5 million as of December 31, 2025 (based upon a closing stock price of $9.36 on December 31, 2025).
The Company uses the British Pound as its functional currency for reporting purposes. Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies into our reporting currency and the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions and balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. The geographic region in which the largest portion of our business is operated is the UK and the British pound (“GBP”) is considered to be our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Our results are translated from our functional currency of GBP into the reporting currency of USD using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates for period-end balances. The effect of translating our functional currency into our reporting currency, as well as translating the results of foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional currency into our functional currency, is reported separately in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

OurProducts
We operate in four business segments: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure, as further described below.
| 1 |
| --- |
GamingSegment
Our Gaming segment supplies gaming terminals, gaming software and/or games content for terminals located in Licensed Betting Offices (“LBOs”), casinos, gaming halls and adult gaming centers (“AGCs”). We either supply products that utilize our Server Based Gaming (“SBG”) technology to supply gaming content to our customers’ global land-based gaming venues, available on approximately 38,000 terminals, or we may deploy our games or game assets on terminals which are purchased from us outright, or licensed for use on third-party platforms.
Our games or game assets are currently deployed on approximately 50,000 terminals.
Because our SBG products are fully digital, they interact with a central server and are provided on a “distributed” basis, which allows us to access a wide geographic footprint through remote networks.
Our SBG game portfolio includes a broad selection of popular omni-channel slots titles including Gold Cash Free Spins™, Golden Winner™, Cops n Robbers Big Money and the Cash Bank family of games which include Big Piggy Bank™ and Wolf it Up!, offering a premium player experience across multiple platforms. These games offer users a wide range of volatilities, return-to-player and other special features. We also offer a range of more traditional casino games through our SBG network, such as roulette, blackjack and numbers games.
We distribute games to devices through different game management systems (“GMS”), each tailored to a specific operator or sector. Our CORE™ GMS is designed for distributed street-gaming sectors and uses Inspired cabinets in combination with gaming content from Inspired, as well as a wide portfolio of content from independent game developers. CORE-CONNECT is our American Gaming Association G2S standard-based video lottery terminal (“VLT”) GMS, currently deployed in the Greek VLT sector and North America. Our SBG products comply with all requirements in the UK (B2/B3), Italy (6B), Greece (G2S) and various locations in North America such as Illinois (G2S), Alberta (AGLC), and Western Canada (WCLC).
Our SBG terminals in the UK account for a material portion of all SBG terminal placements, and we offer over 100 games for play across this portfolio. We are also a material supplier to customers in Greece and Italy. Over the past few years, we have grown our business in North America where we have sold products in Illinois, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (“WCLC”) and the Alberta Gaming Liquor & Cannabis Commission (“AGLC”). We offer SBG terminals such as Vantage ®, Flex4k curved screen, Valor™, Prismatic™, Valiant ™, and Velos, our ETG product, each offering a different size or configuration terminal, including certain graphics, technology, and features.
As of December 31, 2025, we had a total installed base of approximately 35,000 gaming terminals, which were operated under participation-based or fixed rental-based contracts. We generate revenue typically by participating in the gross revenue generated from each machine, and therefore, both we and our customers benefit from the introduction of new game content, which can drive growth.
Additionally, we earn revenue through the sale of terminal units. During 2025, we sold approximately 5,500 units, an increase over the previous year of approximately 2,300 units. This increase arose due to an opportunity that we do not expect to be recurring in nature. Of the 2025 overall sales value, 88% was attributed to the UK, and 12% was attributed to sales from North America. With our participation-driven business model, approximately 87% of service revenue for our Gaming segment was recurring in nature in 2025 and derived under long-term contracts.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our Gaming segment generated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $112.3 million and $55.0 million, respectively, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, during which we generated $110.6 million and $45.3 million in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively.
VirtualSports Segment
Our Virtual Sports business designs, develops, markets and distributes products that create an always-on sports wagering experience in betting shops and other locations and online. Our Virtual Sports product comprises a complex software and networking package that provides fixed-odds wagering on ultra-high definition, computer-rendered simulations of sporting events such as soccer, football or basketball. This product enables players to place bets on simulated sporting events, without being bound to live event schedules. We have developed this technology using advanced motion capture techniques and a TV and film graphics team to create highly realistic simulations.
We believe we are among the most innovative suppliers of Virtual Sports gaming products worldwide. Our diverse portfolio of sports and numbers-based games is available in approximately 25,000 retail venues and through multiple online platforms. We have operations across over 25 gaming jurisdictions worldwide, including the UK, Italy, Greece, Brazil, Turkey, Morocco, and the U.S and have most recently launched in the state of Virginia.
| 2 |
| --- |
Our Virtual Sports portfolio includes titles such as V-Play Soccer™, V-Play Women’s Soccer™, V-Play Football™, V-Play Basketball™, and V-Play Baseball™, along with greyhound racing, horse racing, tennis, motor racing, cycling, cricket, speedway, golf and darts. Furthermore, we have licensing agreements for the use of sports brands, and associated marks or trade-dress archival footage, or a combination of the foregoing, including a partnership with the National Basketball Association (“NBA”), and the National Hockey League (“NHL”), and, pursuant to our licensing arrangements with Aristocrat Gaming, the National Football League (“NFL”). During 2025, we continued to enhance our core Virtual Sports offerings, including V-Play Soccer, through ongoing technology and gameplay improvements such as Soccer 3.6, which is designed to improve visual quality, realism and player engagement. In addition to these traditional sports simulations, we are diversifying our Virtual Sports offering through the development of new product formats, including Fortune Flyer, an upcoming virtual racing-style game, as part of our efforts to broaden the appeal and long-term evolution of the portfolio.
Our customers include some of the largest operators in lottery, gaming and sports betting globally. We are contracted to supply Virtual Sports to mobile and online operators across key regulated markets, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Poland; the U.S. states of Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and the District of Columbia; Gibraltar and other regulated markets in Europe. We also supply customers based in Ontario, Turkey and Morocco. Our technology is adaptable to sports betting, lottery, and gaming environments, making it accessible to a wide range of customers in both public and private sectors.
Our Virtual Sports events are available to millions of customers worldwide, through retail, online and mobile platforms, many of which are available 24/7. We offer multiple hosting solutions tailored to customer needs, including our proprietary Virtual Plug and Play (“VPP”) turnkey solution for online and mobile platforms, and are available on certain aggregator platforms such as Altenar, Kambi, and others. Additionally, our cloud-based XML sportsbook integration enables fully hosted and managed Virtual Sports solutions for customers seeking seamless product delivery.
Virtual Sports products are predominantly offered under participation-based commercial arrangements, whereby Inspired receives a share of gaming revenue generated by the content, together with upfront software licensing fees, integration fees, hosting fees or a combination thereof. As a result of this recurring revenue model, approximately 94% of Virtual Sports segment revenue is generated under long to medium-term contracts, with a typical contract duration of three years.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Virtual Sports segment generated revenue of $36.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $26.8 million, compared to revenue of $45.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-on-year performance reflects, among other things, regulatory and tax developments in Brazil. Inspired continues to progress initiatives to diversify the Virtual Sports customer base, expand market reach and broaden delivery channels, notably through partnerships with Altenar, Kambi, and other platforms.
InteractiveSegment
Our Interactive segment develops and distributes interactive-only content, in the form of games hosted on remote gaming servers. This enables online gaming operators to offer Inspired’s content across online and mobile platforms worldwide.
The Interactive portfolio comprises a broad range of random number generated casino content, including feature-rich bonus games, European-style casino games, free spins and table games, incorporating well-known first and third-party brands. Notable titles include a range of Cops n’Robbers, Gold Cash, and the Cash bank games Wolf it Up! and Big Piggy Bank. Further to this a key success story is that of Golden Winner Grand Chance that has gone on to win “Slot Game of the Year” at the 2026 European iGaming Awards. Inspired continues to release multiple new titles each month, which can be seamlessly deployed across the full estate of operators and aggregators through our Virgo Remote Gaming System (“Virgo RGS™”). During 2025, our games were available on over 500 websites across regulated European and North American jurisdictions, including New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Alberta, West Virginia, Ontario and Quebec, as well as additional growth markets.
Virgo RGS™ is integrated with a wide range of leading online gaming operators, including Flutter, Entain, bet365, Evoke, Gamesys, Kaizen, and Betfred. In North America, Inspired’s Interactive content is live with major operators including BetMGM, DraftKings Group, Caesars, FanDuel, Rush Street Interactive, and Loto Québec.
Our Interactive segment includes Hybrid Dealer, a unique iGaming format that merges high-definition pre-recorded live dealer footage with RNG-based outcomes. This innovative format creates a rich, immersive environment that’s fully brandable, always on, and free from the complexities and expenses of live studio operations. During 2025, we continued to support the rollout of Hybrid Dealer gameshows and table games with select operators, and we believe it enhances our ability to offer differentiated content across regulated markets.
| 3 |
| --- |
Interactive products are predominantly offered under participation-based commercial arrangements, whereby Inspired typically receives a percentage of the net gaming revenue generated by its content. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Interactive segment generated revenue of $58.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $40.6 million, compared to revenue of $39.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA margins within the Interactive segment remain strong, reflecting the low incremental cost base associated with deploying additional content across an established operator network. However, margin expansion continues to be influenced by regulatory and tax developments in certain jurisdictions. This includes regulatory measures in markets such as the United Kingdom in the form of mandatory levies on gross gambling yield (“GGY”), with pressure expected to continue as the UK government has enacted legislation to introduce a new Remote Betting and Gaming Duty of 40% from April 2026, increasing from the current rate of 21%.
LeisureSegment
We remain a supplier of gaming terminals and amusement machines to the Leisure and Hospitality sectors but, following the sale of our holiday parks and certain associated leisure assets to Genda, Inc, a Tokyo-listed entity, are no longer servicing the holiday parks sector. We have transitioned a number of pub customers to a new operating model using a less capital-intensive approach, and one in which we refocus on content and machine supply, moving away from servicing and collections activities. As of December 31, 2025, we supplied and operated over 5,800 gaming terminals located in pubs, bingo halls, and adult gaming centers. We also service approximately 2,800 gaming terminals under maintenance only contracts. The increasing majority of gaming terminals we operate are server based, allowing us to distribute content supplied by our “in house” design studios as well as some of the most popular content titles from our strategic partners.
Our main customer in this segment includes the large pub operator JD Wetherspoons. In the Bingo sector, we supply gaming terminals and services to Buzz Bingo and Mecca Bingo. We supply gaming terminals and services to motorway service providers, Moto and Welcome Break. We no longer serve airports or operate any of our own adult gaming centers.
Overall, our Leisure segment had, as of December 31, 2025, an installed base of approximately 5,500 terminals, which were operated primarily under participation-based contracts. We generate revenue by participating, typically as a function of gross revenue from each machine, in a percentage of volumes generated by these machines. Because we participate in our customers’ revenue under such contracts, we are aligned with our customers in benefiting from the introduction of our new content, which can drive growth in the win per unit per day of our installed base. Additionally, we earn revenue through the sale of units, as well as a fixed daily fee for certain of our installed units. With our participation-driven business model, approximately 97% of revenue for our Leisure segment is recurring in nature and derived under long-term contracts. We installed over six hundred Vantage Cat C cabinets to our Pubs estate during the year and we have successfully renewed or extended contracts with Moto Hospitality, Buzz Bingo and Mecca Bingo.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our Leisure segment generated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $96.6 million and $21.2 million respectively, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, during which we generated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $101.8 million and $23.3 million, respectively.
OurStrengths
We believe key factors that give us an advantage in the gaming technology space include:
| 4 |
| --- |
Establishedpresence across multiple Product Verticals
We have a substantial installed base, including over 32,000 digital terminals in the Gaming segment located across key jurisdictions in the UK, Greece and Italy, with approximately 12,800 terminals installed in UK Licensed Betting Offices and approximately 9,100 terminals installed in Greek venues. In our Leisure segment, we supply and operate an installed base of approximately 5,500 gaming terminals (including approximately 2,800 gaming terminals under maintenance only contracts) to pubs, bingo halls and adult gaming centers. We have content and products in our Virtual Sports segment, which offers a wide range of sports and numbers games through approximately 25,000 retail venues as well as through various online channels. Our Virtual Sports gaming products are available in a number of jurisdictions worldwide, including the UK, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Turkey and the U.S., our customers being many of the largest operators of lottery, gaming, and betting operations worldwide. Additionally, our Interactive segment provides a wide range of iGaming content to large operators primarily marketing to customers located in the UK, Italy, Greece and North America, as well as several other regulated countries across Europe through over approximately 500 websites.
HighlyDiversified Business Underpinned by Longstanding Customer Relationships
We operate in several business segments and geographic locations that provide a diversified revenue and cash flow stream that has proven to be resilient under various economic environments. While our Gaming segment has represented the largest proportion of our revenue in each of the last three years, our Interactive segment represents substantial growth opportunity together with our virtual sports in Latin America. Additionally, we continue to expand in high growth markets, such as North America, which are expected to drive further geographic diversification across business segments. We have over 700 customers, including major lottery, sports betting and gaming operators (both interactive and location-based) within regulated sectors worldwide, which we supply either directly or via aggregator platforms. Many of our customer relationships in the UK and Europe are long-standing and in excess of 10 years. We expect that our diverse customer base will afford us opportunities to sell incremental products to certain of these customers in the future.
SubstantialRecurring Revenue Supported by Long-Term Participation-Based Contracts
We believe our robust recurring revenue business model will drive our performance and free cash flow generation. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our recurring revenue, which included revenue generated from participation-based contracts and licensing arrangements, represented approximately 92% of total revenue, as compared to approximately 86% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our content and products, which are provided primarily pursuant to long-term contracts, are essential to generating revenue for our customers and satisfying the demand of our end users. Our long-term contracts typically have an initial duration of three to five years depending on the business segment and the customer and, over the last three years, we have successfully renewed the significant majority of expiring contracts with key customers in our Gaming, Virtual Sports and Interactive segments.
ProprietaryTechnology and Track-Record of Strong Content Development
We are dedicated to being at the forefront of our industry in terms of technology and innovation. We combine complementary expertise in technology and operations, positioning us as a provider of superior content and technical solutions. As of December 31, 2025, we held approximately 25 patents or pending patent applications and approximately 390 trademarks worldwide. We focus our product development efforts on emerging content and technology trends, utilizing a combination of customer research, design experience and engineering excellence. We are committed to developing innovative products for our customers and are focused on improving player entertainment and customer profitability.
We believe convergence trends in the gaming industry emphasize the importance of proprietary content, including licensed content. Such content is needed to successfully promote a compelling game offering across multiple platforms and to develop distinctive products for operator-clients. Our proprietary content drives engagement across gaming platforms. Our full suite of high-quality gaming products, services and multichannel distribution capabilities, extensive traditional content library, sizeable installed gaming machine base and deep relationships with operator-customers help make us an attractive partner for potential licensors of branded content.

| --- |
Our Interactive business has expanded rapidly, with revenue growing at an approximate compound annual growth rate of 53% on a functional currency at constant rate basis between 2019 and 2024. We believe this growth has been driven, in part, by our content library of over 340 games. Many of our recent game launches, including Gold Cash Free Spins™, Golden Winner™, Cops n Robbers Big Money and the Cash Bank family of games which include Big Piggy Bank™ and Wolf it Up!, have been omni-channel, offering a premium player experience across multiple platforms – though, unlike our older games, they originated online and, once proved successful, were migrated to retail platforms.
Our Virtual Sports products offer a wide range of betting markets and what we consider to be superior graphics. Our Virtual Sports revenue has achieved high EBITDA margins, while providing an attractive recurring revenue base.
PositionedTo Benefit From Key Market Trends
With our proprietary digital gaming platform and content comprising an end-to-end product offering and our multi-channel capabilities and robust relationships across the client spectrum, we believe we are well-positioned to benefit from emerging gaming sector trends, including growth stimulated by liberalization of government gaming regulations, the emergence of multi-channel offerings and the increasing importance of proprietary content.
Our multi-channel offerings are well-positioned to benefit from the prevalence of smart phones and tablets and the legalization of online gaming in certain parts of the United States, Canada, Brazil, LATAM more generally, South Africa and other jurisdictions. Such jurisdictions have provided new growth opportunities for gaming, interactive, sports and lottery operators through the introduction of new channels and portals for delivering games and content to customers. This supplements the existing broad-based online gambling market across Europe. Our multi-channel solutions and customer relationship management capabilities position us to take advantage of new opportunities to extend our gaming solutions across different channels for our customers to reach new players, expand the player demographic base and access players wherever they are whenever they want to play. Our technology extends engagement for existing players and has the capability to reach new player segments. This and other technology help position us for future online real-money gaming opportunities by offering play-for-fun online gaming options in jurisdictions where online real-money gaming may be legalized in the future.
Government initiatives, such as the legalization of casino operations in new jurisdictions, increases in the number of casinos allowed to operate in a given jurisdiction and the legalization of new products, have helped stimulate growth in the gaming market. In the United States, legislative change has led to a slow increase in the legalization of sports betting or online gaming even as several states move towards banning or clarifying their legal position as it pertains to sweepstakes, regulating prediction markets, and Maine recently became the eighth U.S. state to legalize online casino gaming.

OurStrategy
We seek to deliver innovative and differentiated products that provide value to our customers and exciting experiences to their players in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world while achieving long-term growth in revenue, profit and cash flow. We place great emphasis on developing creative and wide-ranging solutions, in terms of digital content and play that deliver and sustain superior performance through operators across online, mobile and location-based channels. Our technology often allows us to update our games and operating software remotely, keeping pace with evolving customer and regulatory requirements affecting game software, security, features, reporting, interoperability and in-built technology. We seek to achieve these goals as we:
Extendour positions in each of the sectors in which we operate by developing new content and products which can often be utilized across multipledistribution channels.
We continually invest in new content and product development and delivery channels in each of the business segments in which we operate, believing these to benefit our existing and prospective customers. Our approach seeks to distribute our content across a wide range of channels, sectors, protocols and regulatory standards, on a cost-efficient basis. We have continued to focus on channels where we believe there is considerable growth available – especially in our digital businesses. We believe our technological approach allows us to quickly adapt to changes in player preferences and trends, and to comply with applicable laws.
Continueto invest in content, technology and delivery channels in order to grow our existing customers’ revenue and penetrate new customersin our existing markets.
Over recent years, a significant portion of our annual revenue has been recurring in nature and generated pursuant to long-term customer contracts. Under these arrangements, our revenue generally increases in line with the growth of our customers’ gaming revenue derived from our content and products. We work closely with our customers to support the optimization of their operations and to help drive growth in revenue generated from our offerings, which in turn benefits our business.
To support this strategy, we continue to invest in the development of new content and technology solutions designed to enhance and refresh our customers’ offerings by providing players with new forms of entertainment. As our content achieves demonstrated commercial success, we seek to deploy such content across a broader customer base that recognizes its value and performance. We believe that continued investment in content development is a critical component of our long-term growth strategy, and we intend to maintain this focus across each of the business segments in which we operate.
Addnew customers, or extend our collaboration with existing customers, by expanding into new markets.
We believe that our historical growth has been driven by expansion into new geographic markets, supplemented by increased market penetration within existing jurisdictions. Our strategy continues to focus on select North and South American markets across our Gaming, Virtual Sports, Lottery and Interactive segments, where we believe opportunities for expansion may exist, subject to applicable regulatory frameworks and market conditions.
We believe that North America represents an attractive gaming market in which we currently have more limited participation and a comparatively lower market share. While competition in this region is significant and regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction, we believe our products and content offerings are well positioned and offer opportunities for growth.
We continue to pursue opportunities in Brazil consistent with our broader strategy, including the deployment of further localized content offerings. Our ability to expand in Brazil remains subject to ongoing regulatory developments, competitive taxation levels, supplier and other licensing requirements and commercial execution.
We also believe that additional growth opportunities may arise in other Latin American jurisdictions over time as regulatory frameworks continue to evolve. However, the timing, scope and commercial impact of any such opportunities remain uncertain and dependent on regulatory authorization, market acceptance and competitive dynamics.
Pursuetargeted mergers and acquisitions to expand our product portfolio and distribution footprint.
In addition to growing our business organically, we have pursued, and continue to pursue, merger and acquisition opportunities that we believe will help strengthen and scale our operations and take further advantage of our competitive position as a distributor of content and digital services. Our management team shares a combination of operating, investing, financial and transactional experience that we believe will serve the Company well as it seeks to identify opportunities for value-adding acquisitions to negotiate and close on potential acquisition transactions.

IndustryOverview
We operate within the global gaming and lottery industry. Global gaming and lottery growth has been resilient in the face of economic cycles over the last decade. According to the H2 Database, the global gaming and lottery industry has grown at an estimated 5% compounded annual growth rate from 2015 to 2025.
During this period, the digital online and mobile gaming and lottery sectors have grown at a faster pace than the industry as a whole. According to the H2 Database, these industry sectors have grown at an estimated 17% compounded annual growth rate from 2015 to 2025, driven by rapid growth in the deployment of digital games and technologies, including many of our products, into land-based venues in the primary sectors in which we operate, where regulators have supported the transition to digital, online and retail channels. According to the H2 Database, the total global gaming and lottery industry is projected to grow an average of 6% per year from 2025 to 2030 driven by the projected growth in mobile and online gaming.
As a gaming and lottery business-to-business supplier focused on digital products and technologies, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from the broader global digital and mobile trends further described below.
Influencersof Digital Adoption
We believe the digital segment of the global gaming and lottery industry will continue to grow, including as a result of the following factors:
Governments:Opening of new gaming territories. Many national, state and local governments in developed economies across Europe, Latin America and North America continue to face structural budgetary pressures, driven by elevated public-sector debt, rising social and healthcare expenditures, inflationary cost pressures and, in some cases, slower economic growth. At the same time, regulators in a number of jurisdictions are increasingly focused on addressing the growth of unregulated or illegal gaming activity, including offerings provided through offshore or remote channels.
As a result, the regulation and taxation of gaming and lottery activities are, in certain jurisdictions, viewed as potential mechanisms to generate incremental public revenue while increasing consumer protection and regulatory oversight. Regulatory responses vary by jurisdiction. In some cases, liberalization efforts may support the development or expansion of large, destination-based casino resorts. In other jurisdictions, regulatory frameworks may emphasize smaller, distributed gaming (“EDGE”) venues that combine lottery, gaming and sports betting with regulated remote or digital gaming offerings.
The scope, timing and structure of any such regulatory developments remain subject to political, economic and social considerations, and there can be no assurance that regulatory changes, if adopted, will result in material market expansion or favorable commercial outcomes for industry participants.
DigitalMulti-Channel Offerings: Replacement of legacy analog machines with larger volume of smart digital devices, both interactive and locationbased. As certain gaming markets mature, governments and regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions have adopted, or are considering adopting, regulatory frameworks that support or require modernization of existing terminal bases, including enhanced connectivity, data reporting, security and responsible gaming features. These regulatory initiatives are often intended to improve regulatory oversight, operational efficiency, player protection and tax collection, and may facilitate integration between land-based and remote gaming channels. However, the timing, scope and commercial impact of such modernization efforts vary significantly by jurisdiction and remain subject to regulatory approvals, funding constraints, technical standards and market conditions.
Smartphonesand Mobile Devices: Rapid adoption of gaming and lottery applications on growing volume focus on smaller distributed gaming (“EDGE”) venues with lottery, gaming and sports betting, combined with online or mobile gaming and betting.
In certain sectors, mobile play on sports betting and gaming now exceeds such play on personal computers. According to the H2 Database, mobile gaming revenue in such sectors exhibited a 23.0% compounded annual growth rate between 2015 and 2025. Mobile gaming and lottery are now expanding in other sectors, and mobile play has recently been approved in other sectors for gaming or lottery.
We believe digitally networked gaming and lottery technologies may provide operational efficiencies for our customers by enabling centralized and remote management of certain functions with limited disruption to existing operations. Digital platforms can increase flexibility in deploying and modifying game offerings, support targeted and seasonal content strategies, and allow new games to be introduced more efficiently than on legacy terminals.
In addition, digital operations may support a greater number of games per terminal, facilitate testing of new content and suppliers through open interfaces, and reduce on-site maintenance requirements, which may improve terminal uptime and extend useful lives. The realization of these benefits depends on regulatory approvals, customer adoption, technical implementation and operating conditions.

RegulatoryFramework
We conduct business in a number of different jurisdictions, of which the UK, Italy and Greece have historically contributed the most significant recurring revenue. The gaming regulator responsible for our activities in the UK is the Gambling Commission. In Italy, the operation of gaming machines and remote gaming is regulated by L’Agenzia delle dogane e dei Monopoli (“ADM”). In Greece, the operation of gaming machines and remote gaming is regulated by the Hellenic Gaming Commission. In addition, we are licensed or certified (as applicable) in a number of other jurisdictions by regulators such as the Malta Gaming Authority, His Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, the Belgian Kansspel Commissie, Romania – Oficiul National pentru Jocuri de Noroc, Autorité Des Marchés Financiers (Quebec), Nova Scotia Alcohol, Gaming, Fuel and Tomabbo Division, Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, Alcohol and Gaming Commission (Ontario), Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo (MINCETEUR) in Peru and state regulators in various jurisdictions in the United States such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and others.
United Kingdom
In the British sector, we supply and distribute Category B3 gaming machines (with maximum betting stakes for players of £2), Category C gaming machines, Category D gaming machines and Electronic Table Games (“ETG”) machines to third parties who are licensed to operate such machines in bricks-and-mortar premises. We also supply virtual sports software to local retail venues and virtual sports and interactive content to online operators who are licensed to target the British sector. The provision of our products and services in relation to the British sector is authorized by a multi-category operating license issued by the UK Gambling Commission, namely remote and non-remote Gaming Machine Technical (Full) operating licenses, a remote casino operating license, a remote and non-remote gambling software license and a remote general betting standard (virtual events) license.
BritishBetting and Gaming Laws and Regulations. The Gambling Act 2005 (the “GA05”) is the principal legislation in the UK governing gambling (other than in relation to the National Lottery, which is governed by separate legislation). The GA05 applies to both land-based gambling (referred to as “non-remote” gambling) and online and mobile gambling (referred to as “remote” gambling).
The GA05 provides that it is an offense to make a gaming machine available for use without an appropriate operating license. There are a number of different categories of licensable gaming machines (the GA05 provides for category A to D machines, although no category A machines are currently in operation); each category is subject to different levels of maximum stakes and prize limits. In addition, there are limits on the numbers and types of gaming machines that can be operated from licensed premises: for example, a licensed betting office is permitted to house up to four category B3 to D machines, while a large casino may house up to 150 category B to D machines (subject to satisfying certain ratios of machines to gaming tables).
Gaming machine suppliers are required to hold an operating license in order to manufacture, supply, install, adapt, maintain or repair a gaming machine or part of a gaming machine. Gaming machine suppliers must also comply with the Gaming Machine Technical Standards published by the Gambling Commission in relation to each category of machine, and such machines must meet the appropriate testing requirements.
In relation to remote gambling, the GA05 (as amended by the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 provides that it is an offense to “provide facilities” for remote gambling either (a) using “remote gambling equipment” situated in the UK, or (b) which are used by players situated in the UK, in each case without a remote gambling operating license. It is also an offense to manufacture, supply, install or adapt gambling software in the UK without an appropriate gambling software license.
A remote gambling operating license holder providing facilities for remote gambling to British players is required to use gambling software manufactured and supplied by the holder of a gambling software license (and failure to do so is an offence). Where gambling software is used or supplied for use in relation to the British sector, it must satisfy the Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards published by the Gambling Commission.
| 9 |
| --- |
The holder of a British gambling operating license is subject to a variety of ongoing regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to, the following:
| ● | Shareholder<br> disclosure: An entity holding a gambling license must notify the Gambling Commission of the identity of any shareholder holding 3%<br> or more (increased to 5% or more with effect as of 19 March 2026) of the equity or voting rights in the entity (whether held or controlled<br> either directly or indirectly). |
|---|---|
| ● | Change<br> of corporate control: Whenever a new person becomes a “controller” (as defined in section 422 of the Financial Services<br> and Markets Act 2000) of a company limited by shares that holds a gambling operating license, the licensed entity must apply to the<br> Gambling Commission for permission to continue to rely on its operating license in light of the new controller. A new controller<br> includes any person who holds or controls (directly or indirectly, including ultimate beneficial owners who hold their interest through<br> a chain of ownership) 10% or more of the equity or voting rights in the licensed entity (or who is otherwise able to exercise “significant<br> influence” over it). The Gambling Commission must be supplied with specified information regarding the new controller (which,<br> in the case of an individual, includes detailed personal disclosure) and this information will be reviewed by the Gambling Commission<br> to assess the suitability of the new controller to be associated with a licensed entity. If the Gambling Commission concludes that<br> it would not have issued the operating license to the licensed entity had the new controller been a controller when the application<br> for the operating license was made, the Gambling Commission is required to revoke the operating license. It is possible to apply<br> for approval in advance from the Gambling Commission prior to becoming a new controller of a licensed entity. |
| ● | Compliance<br> with the License Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP): The LCCP is a suite of license conditions and code provisions which attach<br> to operating licenses issued by the Gambling Commission. The provision of gambling facilities in breach of a license condition is<br> an offense under the GA05. Certain specified “Social Responsibility” code provisions are accorded the same weight as<br> license conditions in this regard (whereas breach of an “ordinary” code provision is not an offense in itself, but may<br> be evidence of unsuitability to continue to hold a gambling license). The LCCP imposes numerous operational requirements on licensees,<br> including compliance with the Gambling Commission’s Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards, the implementation of<br> a variety of social responsibility tools (such as self-exclusion), anti-money laundering measures, age verification of customers<br> and a host of consumer protection measures. |
| ● | Regulatory<br> returns and reporting of key events: The LCCP requires licensees to submit quarterly returns to the Gambling Commission detailing<br> prescribed operational data to ensure licensees are within correct fee categories and also to provide vital information regarding<br> the UK market to enable the UK Gambling Commission to regulate effectively and publish industry statistics. Licensees are also required<br> to notify the Gambling Commission as soon as practicable and in any event within 5 working days of becoming aware of the occurrence<br> of certain specified “key events” which, in summary, are events which could have a significant impact on the nature or<br> structure of the licensee’s business. Licensees are also required to notify suspicion of offenses and suspicious gambling activity. |
| ● | Personal<br> licenses: Key management personnel are required to maintain personal licenses authorizing them to discharge certain responsibilities<br> on behalf of the operator. These personal licenses are subject to renewal every five years. Personal licenses are subject to compliance<br> with certain license conditions. |
Italy
We operate three different gaming businesses in Italy. We provide platform and games for video lottery terminals, supply platforms for bets on Virtual Sports events to betting shops and online platforms and provide online casino games to online licensed operators. Our businesses are operated through the Italian branches of certain of our UK subsidiaries. These branches hold police licenses and are enrolled in the ADM Register of Gestori, as further described below. We supply our platform and games and Virtual Sports and online casino products only to operators licensed under Italian gaming laws and regulations.
Our VLT and Virtual Sports platforms as well as the platform through which our online casino games are offered to the public must be connected over the internet to servers operated by the ADM. Information regarding gaming sessions and the amounts wagered and won is provided in real time through the ADM servers, in order to enable the ADM to monitor the operation of machines and games and to verify the amount of taxes due.

ItalianBetting and Gaming Laws and Regulations. Operators of betting premises offering VLTs (including the entities managing the networks connecting such VLTs to ADM servers), and operators of betting premises or online platforms offering Virtual Sports as well as online platforms offering online casino products, must hold an Italian gaming license while operators of gaming halls where VLTs are located operate do not need a gaming license. No gaming license is required in order to supply VLTs, Virtual Sports and online casino products to such operators. Such VLT platforms, machines and games, and Virtual Sports and online casino games, must be certified and approved by either SOGEI, an entity controlled by the Italian Ministry of Finance and authorized to conduct such certifications or testing labs accredited with ADM. Such certifications and approvals must be obtained by such operators, rather than the suppliers of such VLT platforms, machines and games, Virtual Sports platforms and games and online casino games.
Suppliers of gaming machines, including VLTs, must hold a police license (as prescribed by artice 86, paragraph 3, of the Italian United Text of Public Security Law provided by the Royal Decree 18 June 1931, No. 773) and be enrolled in a registry prescribed by article 1, paragraph 82 of Law No. 220/2010 and managed by ADM (known as the “ADM Register of Gestori”). If a supplier of gaming machines is not enrolled in the ADM Register of Gestori, any agreement it enters into regarding the supply of gaming machines is null and void. In addition, if the enrollment is not renewed, existing agreements regarding the supply of gaming machines become null and void. Enrollment in the ADM Register of Gestori is subject to, among other things, a review of the suitability of the applicant business entity and its directors. In the event of a change of control of the entity enrolled in the ADM Register of Gestori (but not of such entity’s direct or indirect parent entities), the details of such change must be notified to the ADM and suitability must be reconfirmed.
Suppliers of Virtual Sports products are not required to hold a police license, be enrolled in the Register of Gestori or otherwise be licensed or registered.
Greece
In Greece, we supply VLTs, including the terminal machines themselves, the related online platforms and the games available on the machines, to brick-and-mortar gaming locations operated by OPAP, the country’s sole licensed operator of gaming machines. We supply such VLTs under a certification provided by the Hellenic Gaming Commission, in accordance with the applicable VLT Technical and Operational Regulation (Ministerial Decision 79314/23.07.2020, as amended) and the supplier suitability framework (Ministerial Decision 79305 ΕΞ 2020/27.07.2020, as amended and codified. We also supply Virtual Sports products (regulated as betting products under Law 4002/2011 and the applicable Hellenic Gaming Commission regulatory framework governing retail and online betting) within retail venues operated by OPAP and via self-service betting terminals within OPAP venues and supply interactive games and Virtual Sports to online operators in Greece including Stoiximan, OPAP and Novibet.
GreekBetting and Gaming Laws and Regulations: According to Article 44 par. 2 of Law 4002/2011, as well as according to HGC’s Decision No 225/2/25.10.2016 as well as Ministerial Decision 79314/23.07.2020 (GG B’ 3263/5 August 2020) as amended with Decision 13530 /02.02.2022 (GG B’ 356 03.02.2022) and again with Decision 187634/27.12.2022 (GG B’ 6716/2712.2022) and79305 ΕΞ 2020/27.07.2020 (GG B’ 3262/05.08.2020, as corrected, and as amended & codified by 56580 ΕΞ 2022 (GG B’ 2166/04.05.2022), all suppliers of gaming machines in Greece must be certified by the HGC in order to legally supply, sell, lease, offer or distribute any VLT or virtual game or any other game of chance (i.e. games including wagers or bets and the result of which games depends, even partly, on the influence of luck). Moreover, for Manufacturers which are defined under the aforesaid Decision 79305 ΕΞ 2020/27.07.2020 as “the person or entity which manufactures (indicatively, studies, designs, assembles, produces, programs) and in any way makes available to an Operator and/or Importer any Technical Means and Hardware, and has received a Suitability License by the HGC to this end, as well as the person that holds a license for a Studio”, Decision 79305, provides in Article 9 for Manufacturers Type A1 or Type A2 license, depending on whether the manufacturer provides management services to the Operator and in Article 10 for Importers/Distributors (Type E1 or Type E2 license). Accordingly, manufacturers need to obtain a Suitability License Type A1 or A2, while importers/distributors need to obtain a Suitability License Type E1 or E2.
As regards online gaming, Articles 45 -52 of Law 4002/2011 (GG A’ 180/22.8.2011), which was recently amended by Law 4635/2019 (GG A’ 167/30.10.2019), introduces several new provisions such as the two exclusive types of online licenses for online gaming operators: a) Online Betting License; and b) a license for Other Online Games (it covers online casino games and online poker games and variants thereof). Furthermore, Article 14 of the HGC’s Decision 79835 ΕΞ 2020/24.07.2020 (GG B’ 3265/05.08.2020)as amended by 56604 ΕΞ 2022 (GG B’ 2185/04.05.2022) and 67663 ΕΞ 2022 (GG B’ 2483/20.05.2022) states that all Manufacturers have to submit an application to the HGC, accompanied by the required compliance certificates, for the following elements: i. the Gaming Platform (Betting Platform); ii. the Random Number Generator (RNG) per type/group of Games that the Manufacturer offer to each License Holder; and iii. each individual game or multigame. Lastly, Suitability Licenses for suppliers are also divided into two types: a) Manufacturers Suitability License and b) Importers/Distributors Suitability License (according to articles 9 and 10 of Decision 79305 ΕΞ 2020/27.07.2020 as amended & codified by 56580 ΕΞ 2022 (GG B’ 2166/04.05.2022. Accordingly, manufacturers need to obtain a Suitability License Type A1 or A2 (depending on whether the manufacturer provides management services to the operator or not), while importers/distributors need to obtain a Suitability License Type E1 or E2.

Licensing,Suitability and Key-Persons
Our business remains subject to extensive and evolving licensing, suitability, certification and regulatory approval requirements across the jurisdictions in which we operate or supply technology. These requirements apply not only to the Company and its subsidiaries, but also to certain products and platforms, as well as to directors, officers, key employees, significant shareholders, beneficial owners and other persons deemed by regulators to be “key persons,” “associated persons,” or “controlling persons.”
Gaming regulators in multiple jurisdictions have increased scrutiny of B2B technology suppliers, including enhanced investigations into ownership structures, source of funds, financing arrangements, ultimate beneficial ownership, cross-border corporate structures, and the suitability of investors and lenders. Regulatory authorities have also broadened the interpretation of what constitutes a “change of control” or “material change,” potentially capturing share repurchase programs, refinancings, board changes, internal restructurings, or minority shareholdings that were not previously considered approval-triggering events.
Our ability to operate, expand into new markets, launch new products, complete acquisitions, refinance indebtedness or implement corporate transactions may depend on obtaining, maintaining, renewing or transferring licenses, registrations, certifications or other regulatory clearances. Regulatory authorities retain broad discretion in granting, conditioning, delaying, suspending or revoking approvals and may impose additional operational, compliance, reporting, capital or governance obligations as a condition of licensure.
Failure to obtain or maintain required approvals — whether due to evolving regulatory standards, enhanced suitability reviews, adverse findings relating to key persons or shareholders, delays in approval processes, compliance deficiencies, customer-related regulatory issues, or changes in law or regulatory policy — could result in fines, penalties, license suspension or revocation, limitations on our ability to supply products in certain jurisdictions, contractual terminations, forced divestitures, required changes in management or ownership, or reputational harm.
In addition, regulators may require the removal or replacement of directors, officers, employees, shareholders or financing sources deemed unsuitable, or may prohibit or unwind transactions involving changes in ownership or control. Increased cross-jurisdictional regulatory cooperation and information sharing may heighten the risk that issues arising in one jurisdiction could adversely impact our approvals or operations in others. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth strategy.
In a number of jurisdictions, our stockholders may be required to undergo a suitability investigation similar to that described above. Such jurisdictions require any person who acquires beneficial ownership of more than a certain percentage of our voting securities (typically 5%) to report the acquisition to relevant gaming authorities and may be required to apply for qualification or a finding of suitability. A number of gaming authorities, however, also allow an “institutional investor” to apply for a waiver.
ContentDevelopment
We continually invest in new product development in each of our Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure business segments. Inspired has a full stack game development structure, combining its proprietary technology frameworks together with some of the industry’s: best math, art, creative and production personnel spread across 3 game studios. We release over 100 games variants each year onto our own priority gaming system, Interactive Remote Gaming Server (“RGS”) and to our G2S clients around the world in markets such as North America, UK, Brazil, Greece, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Sweden and more. Whilst many of our game launches are omni-channel, we have a focus on building the right game for the right market and take pride in tweaking modifying the math and themes for the target player. Joining our slot and tables games we have our award-winning Hybrid Dealer product. Featuring innovative table and game show themes, utilizing a mixture of CGI and real dealer footage to bring the player a live like experience. Hybrid Dealer is currently live with tier 1 Interactive customers in the US, UK, Canada and Brazil
In Virtual Sports, we combine graphical assets betting market mathematics, proprietary scheduling and software allowing us to generate virtual sports markets and results for all our B2B customers. In addition, our VPP (Virtuals Plug and Play) product range leverages our award winning Virtuals assets, along with our RGS (remote gaming server) to produce our “Virtuals Sportsbook in a box product”. VPP allows our customers to operate our Virtuals Sports products without their own sportsbook. We account for our development costs as software development costs, and these are typically amortized over a two to four-year period.
Suppliers
Our principal supply arrangements concern the supply of our terminals, terminals components, content provision, license holders (branded properties), and outsourced labor. We work closely with our key suppliers to ensure a high level of quality of goods and services is obtained and have worked with many of these suppliers for many years. We have achieved significant cost savings through centralization of purchases.
Customers
Our customer base includes regulated operators of lotteries, licensed sports bookmakers, operators of licensed betting offices, gaming and bingo halls, casinos, pubs, adult gaming centers and regulated online operators. We typically implement design and content variations to customize their terminals and player experiences. Our license agreements with customers for the provision of machines, content and Virtual Sports products include provisions to protect our intellectual property rights in our games and other content.
CustomerContracts – Gaming
Our contracts in the Gaming segment involve supplying gaming terminals and licensing gaming software and games for use and operation in conjunction with the terminals. We supply the terminals on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis on a per customer or per location basis. Under these contracts, we have general obligations to deliver, install, upgrade and service the terminals and software. The contracts may be terminated early in various circumstances such as if we fail to meet performance targets in servicing the machines.
| 12 |
| --- |
Under some contracts, we receive an upfront fee for the provision of the terminals, we may supply them on a finance lease basis and we may also generate revenue as a percentage of income generated on terminals. With our participation-driven business model, approximately 94% of service revenue for our Gaming segment is recurring in nature and derived under long-term contracts that are typically between three and five years (although may be shorter for contract extensions). Major contracts have been renewed over the past three (3) years and we have also onboarded new customers.
CustomerContracts – Virtual Sports
Our contracts in the Virtual Sports segment typically involve the supply of licenses to operators to make available, either via online or retail channels, virtual sporting events such as horse racing, soccer, football, darts, cricket, or basketball, and to enable end-users to place bets on these events. These are typically one-time non-exclusive licenses specific to the virtual sporting event. We may agree to customize and brand the virtual sporting events for the operator or to provide language variations of the event. The contracts may be terminated early in various circumstances, including, for example, if the operator fails to pay an invoice within 60 days of receipt.
Our Virtual Sports products are typically offered to operators on a participation basis, whereby we receive a royalty for a portion of the gaming revenue generated, plus an upfront software license fee and a hosting fee. With our participation-driven business model, our Virtual Sports segment produces approximately 99% of total revenue on a recurring basis under long-term contracts that average three to four years when entered into and we have historically had a 100% renewal rate over the last three years for contracts that expired.
CustomerContracts – Interactive
Our contracts in the Interactive segment vary but generally involve the provision of a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to operators to display certain slot and casino content on which online bets are placed or to make our games available for play by end-users of an operator’s online gaming business operations. A number of contracts have been concluded with aggregator platforms to ensure wider distribution via the platform customers and a single integration, The contracts may be terminated early in various circumstances, including material breach or inability to operate due to a change in regulatory status.
Our Interactive products are typically offered to operators or platforms on a participation basis, whereby we receive a percentage of percentage of net gaming revenue generated by reference to amount wagered on our content less winnings, agreed bonus deductions utilized in promoting our content on the relevant platform, and any applicable gaming taxes. With our participation-driven business model, approximately 100% of revenue for our Interactive segment is recurring in nature and derived under long-term contracts that averaged three years. Over the last three years, we have renewed approximately 100% of these contracts for those customers that have continued to trade.
CustomerContracts – Leisure
Our contracts in the Leisure segment vary but generally involve (i) agreement whereby the operator or proprietor of certain leisure resorts contributes premises and we provide, on an exclusive basis, gaming and amusement terminals as well as gaming software and games for the machines provided, (ii) contracts to supply gaming terminals as well as gaming software and games for the terminals provided to leisure operators on a non-exclusive basis, and (iii) rental agreements, which we enter into with certain motorway services providers, whereby we rent unit space in motorway service areas and populate this space with our gaming terminals.
Depending on the contract type, we have general obligations to deliver, install, upgrade and service the terminals and software provided. These contracts may be terminated early in various circumstances, including for material breach or insolvency events.
Under our leisure contracts, we typically generate revenue on a participation-basis by participating, typically as a function of gross revenue from each terminal, in a percentage of volumes generated by these terminals. With our participation-driven or fixed weekly fee business model, approximately 100% of service revenue for our Leisure segment is recurring in nature and derived under long-term contracts that are usually between three and five years. Over the last three years, within the Leisure segment we have successfully renewed or extended some major contracts.

Operationsand Employees
Our operations include game production, platform and hardware design, production, testing, and distribution; the maintenance, management, and extension of our centralized network for product distribution and product monitoring; the delivery and, in certain circumstances, maintenance of SBG terminals; gaming machine engineering, assembly, repair and storage; parts supply; change and release management; remote operational services; problem management; business development; market account management; and general administration and management, including Finance, Legal, People (Human Resources), Investor Relations, Marketing and Communications, Quality, Compliance and Information Security.
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,020 employees, approximately 920 of whom were full-time. Of those employees, approximately 470 were dedicated to delivering our digital gaming platforms, content and hardware and approximately 380 of our employees were involved in UK field operations. Our management, sales and administration teams accounted for approximately 180 employees.
IntellectualProperty
Our intellectual property consists principally of the propriety software we develop to operate our network and, in the design, and distribution of our games. We depend upon agreements relating to trade secrets, confidential information and proprietary know-how to protect our rights in this intellectual property. We require all our employees, contractors and other collaborators to enter into agreements that prohibit the disclosure of our confidential information to other parties. In addition, it is our policy to require our employees, contractors and other collaborators who have access to proprietary and trade secret material to enter into agreements that require them to assign any and all intellectual property rights to us that arise as a result of their work on our behalf. We also require our employees to review and acknowledge our intellectual property policies regarding how we handle intellectual property. These agreements, acknowledgements and policies may not provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure in violation of these agreements, and may not be sufficient to secure for us the value in such developments that they are designed to secure.
We also hold certain patents, trademarks, design rights and other intellectual property rights in respect of our game mechanics, products, systems, web domains, and other intellectual property in Brazil, Canada, the U.S. and Europe. As of December 31, 2025, we held approximately 25 patents and approximately 390 trademarks worldwide. We also rely on certain products and technologies that we license from third parties. Proprietary licenses typically limit our use of intellectual property to specific uses and for specific time periods.
The terms of our intellectual property registrations vary based on the type of registration and the date and jurisdiction of filing or grant. European and UK trademark registration lasts for 10 years but can be renewed indefinitely. European and UK design registration lasts for five years but it can be renewed four times (giving a maximum total of 25 years of protection). European and UK patents can only be renewed for up to 20 years. U.S. design patents expire 15 years from the date of grant, and the term of utility patents generally expires 20 years from the date of filing of the first non-provisional patent application in a family of patents. The actual protection afforded by a patent depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the applicable country.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive industry, and in highly competitive business segments. We face competition from a number of worldwide businesses, many of which have substantially greater financial resources and operating scale. Such competition could adversely affect our ability to win new contracts and sales and renew existing contracts. We operate in a period of intense price-based competition in some key sectors, which could affect the profitability of the contracts and sales we do win. In certain sectors, our businesses also face competition from suppliers, operators or licensees who offer products for internet gaming in illegal or unregulated sectors, but are still able or permitted to supply products and compete with us in regulated sectors. These competitors often have substantially greater financial resources and operating scale than we do. Some larger competitors hold long term contracts which control access points for some of our products and this may mean we must contract with those competitors rather than directly with the customer to provide our products. Our principal competitors include, among others, certain businesses that have vertically integrated gaming machine and retail betting operations and businesses that operate in both regulated and unregulated sectors and thereby effectively subsidize their regulated operations with unregulated operations.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
Ourbusiness is subject to a high degree of risk. You should carefully read and assess our discussion of the risk factors facing ourbusiness, below. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition andprospects, and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause investors in our common stock to lose all or partof their investments. These disclosures reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that couldmaterially and adversely affect us and our securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only andare not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihoodof occurring in the future.
Summaryof Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. These risks are discussed more fully below and include, but are not limited to, risks related to the following:
| ● | During the year ended December 31, 2025, except for<br>the items mentioned in Item 9A, management has successfully remediated previously identified material weaknesses through (i) hiring additional<br>qualified accounting and SOX personnel, (ii) implementing new financial systems and enhancing system configurations, (iii) designing<br>and implementing new and enhanced process-level controls across all significant financial reporting cycles, (iv) enhancing documentation<br>of U.S. GAAP accounting policies and procedures, (v) strengthening management review controls and evidentiary standards, (vi) implementing<br>and testing IT change management and logical access controls across in-scope applications; and (vii) establishing a formalized SOX testing<br>and monitoring program. Notwithstanding this progress, and management’s expectation that all identified material weaknesses will<br>be remedied in the year ending December 31, 2026, failure to remediate these material weaknesses or any other material weaknesses that<br>we identify in the future could result in material misstatements in our financial statements. |
|---|---|
| ● | Particularly<br> in our Virtuals business, we rely on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss<br> of, or material reduction in, sales to any of our top customers could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,<br> financial condition and prospects. |
| ● | We<br> are dependent on our relationships with key suppliers to obtain equipment and other supplies for our business on acceptable terms. |
| ● | We<br> operate in a highly competitive industry and our success depends upon our ability to effectively compete with numerous worldwide<br> businesses. |
| ● | One<br> of the major risks to our business is the use of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) by malicious actors. AI-powered bots<br> can imitate human players in online gambling platforms, potentially undermining the fairness and integrity of games. These bots can<br> be programmed to try and exploit vulnerabilities in a gambling platform’s security infrastructure, can launch advanced phishing<br> attacks, malware, and ransomware, and pose a significant threat to the security of online gambling platforms. These attacks can lead<br> to substantial financial losses, compromise game, financial or user data, and damage the company’s reputation. |
| ● | Data<br> privacy and security laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business could increase the cost of our operations<br> and subject us to possible sanctions and other penalties. |
| ● | Our<br> results of operations fluctuate due to seasonality and other factors and, therefore, our periodic operating results are not guarantees<br> of future performance. |
| ● | Our<br> industry is subject to strict government regulations that could limit our existing operations and have a negative impact on our ability<br> to grow. A majority of our income is generated through the licensing and supply of software and technology to B2C operators. Our<br> business is therefore highly dependent on the laws and regulations relating to the supply of gaming services, which laws and regulations<br> are complex and inconsistent across jurisdictions and are subject to change. |
| ● | Our<br> industry is subject to regulations that set parameters for levels of gaming or wagering duty, tax, stake, prize and return to player. |
| ● | Our<br> ability to provide our software to gaming operators depends upon the integrity, reliability and operational performance of our systems,<br> games and products. |
| ● | Because<br> tax laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and uncertainty, tax payments may ultimately differ from amounts currently<br> recorded by us. Our operations in non-European markets means withholding taxes are payable on royalty, interest and/or dividend which<br> may impact cash flow and/or profitability; |
| ● | We<br> may be adversely affected by disruptions to our transaction gaming and lottery systems, as well as disruptions to our internal enterprise<br> and information technology systems. |
| 15 |
| --- | | ● | Our<br> directors and key personnel are subject to the approval of certain regulatory authorities, which, if withheld, would require us to<br> sever our relationship with non-approved individuals, which could adversely impact our operations. | | --- | --- | | ● | Licensing<br> and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations and ownership and could cause us to redeem certain stockholders<br> on potentially disadvantageous terms. | | ● | Certain<br> of our executive officers and directors could be affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those conducted<br> by us in the future and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business opportunity should<br> be presented to us or to another entity. | | ● | We<br> have operations and assets in a variety of countries, which subjects us to additional geopolitical risks. | | ● | Our<br> business was capital intensive and our ability to retain customers may be influenced by our ability to deploy additional capital. | | ● | We<br> may be unable to develop sufficient new products and product lines and integrate them into our existing business, which may adversely<br> affect our ability to compete; our expansion into new sectors may present competitive and regulatory challenges that differ<br> from current ones. | | --- | --- | | ● | We<br> may be required to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill, identified intangible assets and property and equipment or to<br> take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition,<br> results of operations and stock price, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net assets. | | --- | --- | | ● | Volatility<br> or disruption in the financial markets could materially adversely affect our business and the trading price of our common stock. | | --- | --- | | ● | Global<br> economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. | | --- | --- |
Risks
Relating to Our Business and Industry
Wehave identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting which weare working to remediate. Failure to remediate these material weaknesses or any other material weaknesses that we identify in the futurecould result in material misstatements in our financial statements.
We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the items mentioned in Item 9A, management has successfully remediated previously identified material weaknesses through (i) hiring additional qualified accounting and SOX personnel, (ii) implementing new financial systems and enhancing system configurations, (iii) designing and implementing new and enhanced process-level controls across all significant financial reporting cycles, (iv) enhancing documentation of U.S. GAAP accounting policies and procedures, (v) strengthening management review controls and evidentiary standards, (vi) implementing and testing IT change management and logical access controls across in-scope applications; and (vii) establishing a formalized SOX testing and monitoring program. Notwithstanding this progress, and management’s expectation that all identified material weaknesses will be remedied in the year ending December 31, 2026, failure to remediate these material weaknesses or any other material weaknesses that we identify in the future could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to assess, and our independent registered public accounting firm is required to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Compliance with Section 404 requires significant documentation, testing and ongoing evaluation of our control environment. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
| 16 |
| --- |
Our control environment is inherently complex due to the multi-jurisdictional nature of our operations, including varying gaming tax regimes, statutory levies, withholding taxes, transfer pricing considerations and evolving regulatory requirements across multiple territories. In addition, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from revenue-share and performance-based arrangements, which require complex calculations tied to customer gross gaming revenue, tax deductions, contractual adjustments and system integrations. The accounting for such arrangements under U.S. GAAP involves significant judgment, estimation and reliance on data received from customers and third-party platforms. Changes in tax interpretation, regulatory frameworks, contract modifications or system integrations may increase the risk of error if not supported by effective controls.
Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and is working towards achieving effective controls. Management anticipates that the new controls, as implemented and when tested for a sufficient period of time, will remediate the material weaknesses. We may not be successful in promptly remediating the material weaknesses identified by management, or be able to identify and remediate additional control deficiencies, including material weaknesses, in the future. Failure to remediate existing material weaknesses, or the identification of additional deficiencies in future periods, could result in material misstatements, restatements, delays in SEC filings, increased audit costs, regulatory scrutiny or loss of investor confidence. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, access to capital and the market value of our securities.
Particularlyin our Virtuals business, we rely on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of,or material reduction in, sales to any of our top customers could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financialcondition and prospects.
Certain key customers, including certain UK, Italian and Greek gaming terminal customers and certain Virtual Sports customers, make a significant contribution to our revenue and profitability. Our top ten customers generated approximately 48% of total revenue, however, no customers generated more than 10% of total revenue in the year ended December 31, 2025. We expect that these customers will continue to represent a significant portion of our sales in the future. However, the loss of any of our top customers, whether through contract expiry and non-renewal, breach of contract or other adverse factors could materially adversely affect our revenue or return on capital and leave us with surplus terminals. Moreover, if any of these customers experience reduced revenue, such reduction could adversely affect any revenue-sharing arrangements we have with those customers, reduce our own revenue and adversely affect our financial results.
Weare dependent on our relationships with key suppliers to obtain equipment and other supplies for our business on acceptable terms.
We have achieved significant cost savings through our centralization of equipment and non-equipment purchases. However, as a result, we are exposed to the credit and other risks of a group of key suppliers. While we make every effort to evaluate our counterparties prior to entering into long-term and other significant procurement contracts, we cannot predict the impact on our suppliers of the current economic environment and other developments in their respective businesses. Insolvency, financial difficulties, supply chain delays or other factors may result in our suppliers not being able to fulfill the terms of their agreements with us. Further, such factors may render suppliers unwilling to extend contracts that provide favorable terms to us, or may force them to seek to renegotiate existing contracts with us. In addition, our business has signed a number of significant contracts whose performance depends upon third party suppliers delivering equipment on schedule for us to meet contractual commitments. Failure of the suppliers to meet their delivery commitments could result in us being in breach of and subsequently losing those contracts. Although we believe we have alternative sources of supply for the equipment and other supplies used in our business, concentration in the number of our suppliers could lead to delays in the delivery of products or components, and possible resultant breaches of contracts that we have entered into with our customers; increases in the prices we must pay for products or components; problems with product quality or components coming to the end of their life; and other concerns.
Disruptionof our supply chain or distribution capabilities have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our ability to manufacture and ship machines is critical to our success. We are subject to damage or disruption to supplies of parts or our manufacturing or distribution capabilities (in particular, to the extent that our parts are sourced globally) due to weather, including any potential effects of climate change, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, adverse changes in political conditions or political unrest, pandemic, strikes, labor shortages, freight transportation availability, disruption in logistics, import restrictions, or other factors that impair our ability to manufacture or sell our machines. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to restore our supply chain. To manage this risk, we have partnered with a key supplier to operate from shared locations in both the UK and the US. This relationship has allowed our supplier to store 80% complete clone terminals which can easily be configured, into final products, ready for sale with a significantly reduced delivery lead time. As terminals are completed, the clone terminal inventory is replenished in order to maintain the shortest supply chain possible.
| 17 |
| --- |
Ourresults of operations could be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases.
Our results of operations may be adversely affected by labor shortages, employee turnover and sustained increases in labor-related costs. Inflationary pressures, increases in the UK National Living Wage, changes to employer National Insurance contribution requirements, and tightening immigration and skilled worker visa policies have increased employment costs in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions in which we operate. Further fiscal measures or employment-related regulation could increase payroll taxes, pension obligations, statutory benefits, or other employment costs.
Competition for skilled personnel — particularly in software engineering, cybersecurity, data analytics, artificial intelligence, compliance, regulatory affairs and gaming technology — remains intense both within the gambling industry and across broader technology sectors. As a result, we have experienced upward pressure on compensation, recruitment costs, retention incentives and equity-based awards. We may be required to implement additional compensation adjustments, hiring incentives or restructuring initiatives to attract and retain qualified personnel, which could materially increase operating expenses.
Labor shortages or reduced workforce availability could impair our ability to develop and certify new products, maintain platform uptime and service levels, meet customer implementation timelines, support regulatory compliance functions, or operate our service operations and manufacturing facilities efficiently. In addition, higher turnover may result in loss of institutional knowledge, delays in product development, reduced operational efficiency and increased training and onboarding costs.
Increased labor costs may not be recoverable through pricing adjustments or contractual arrangements with customers, particularly under fixed-fee, minimum guarantee or revenue-share contracts, which could adversely affect margins and profitability. Any sustained inability to attract, retain or replace qualified personnel on commercially reasonable terms could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Weoperate in a highly competitive industry and our success depends upon our ability to effectively compete with numerous worldwide businesses.
We face competition from a number of businesses, including worldwide businesses, many of which have substantially greater financial resources and operating scale than we do, or which may operate in countries which have lower labor costs. Such competition could adversely affect our ability to win new contracts and sales and renew existing contracts. We operate in a period of intense price-based competition in some key sectors, which could affect the profitability of the contracts and sales we do win.
In certain sectors, our businesses also face competition from suppliers, operators or licensees who offer products for internet gaming in illegal or unregulated sectors but are still able or permitted to supply products and compete with us in regulated sectors. These competitors often have substantially greater financial resources and operating scale than we do.
If we cannot successfully compete in our industry and business segments, our business, results, financial condition and prospects could suffer.
| 18 |
| --- |
Weare heavily dependent on our ability to renew our long-term contracts with our customers and we could lose substantial revenue if weare unable to renew certain of these contracts, or to renew them on substantially similar terms.
Generally, customer contracts in our Gaming, Virtual Sports and Interactive business segments are for initial terms of three to five years, but longer in certain territories, with renewals at the customer’s option. Generally, our customer contracts within the Leisure business segment are for terms of four to six years (although in certain cases they are longer), but certain customers have options for early termination under certain circumstances or to reduce machine volumes in certain circumstances, and we may face pressure to renew or upgrade terminals during the lives of these contracts, which could adversely affect revenue or our return on capital and leave us with surplus terminals. At any given time, we have multiple substantial customer contracts that have years to run and others that may be nearing expiration or renewal, which we may lose if we cannot compete effectively to retain their business.
There can be no assurance that current contracts will be extended or that we will be awarded contract extensions or new contracts as a result of competitive bidding processes or otherwise. The termination, expiration or failure to renew one or more of our contracts could cause us to lose substantial revenue.
Wecould lose substantial revenue due to introduction or increase of gaming taxes, levies, withholding taxes and other local taxes.
We could lose substantial revenue or experience reduced profitability due to the introduction of, or increases in, gaming taxes, statutory levies, withholding taxes, digital services taxes and other local or cross-border fiscal measures.
Our business is indirectly and, in certain cases, directly exposed to changes in gaming tax regimes and related fiscal policies in the jurisdictions in which our customers operate or where we supply products and services. Governments continue to reassess gambling taxation frameworks in response to public policy considerations, fiscal pressures and increased regulatory scrutiny of the sector. Such reassessments may result in higher headline tax rates, broadened tax bases, new statutory levies, increased enforcement activity, supplier registration requirements, or the recharacterization of supplier revenues for tax purposes.
In the United Kingdom, fiscal and regulatory developments through February 2026 have increased cost pressures across both remote and land-based gaming channels. These include prior increases to Remote Gaming Duty and Remote Betting Duty, the implementation of the statutory levy to fund research, prevention and treatment relating to gambling-related harm, and continued regulatory focus on affordability assessments, product design and marketing restrictions. Further reform of UK gambling taxation, including potential restructuring or harmonization of remote duty regimes, has been the subject of ongoing policy discussion and could result in additional fiscal burdens on the sector.
Land-based operators in the UK have also faced compounding pressures, including increases in employment costs, employer National Insurance contributions, National Living Wage requirements, property-related expenses and compliance costs. These factors may reduce customer profitability, accelerate retail consolidation or shop closures, and constrain capital investment in new terminals, digital integrations and content procurement, which could reduce demand for our products and services.
In Brazil, the recently implemented federal sports betting and online gaming regulatory framework has introduced licensing requirements, fixed concession fees and taxation based on gross gaming revenue. The regulatory and fiscal regime remains subject to ongoing clarification, secondary regulation and potential amendment, including with respect to likely B2B licensing. The effective tax burden on licensed operators, combined with state-level tax considerations, municipal service taxes and withholding obligations, may reduce operator margins and impact their ability or willingness to enter into or renew commercial arrangements on existing terms. In addition, evolving interpretations regarding the tax treatment of cross-border technology, intellectual property royalties, hosting services or platform fees may result in additional withholding taxes, indirect taxes or local establishment risks for suppliers.
| 19 |
| --- |
A significant portion of our contracts are structured on a revenue-share basis calculated net of gaming taxes, levies and similar charges. Accordingly, increases in gaming duties, statutory levies or related fiscal costs borne by our customers generally reduce the gross gaming revenue pool from which our revenues are derived and may compress our margins. Fiscal or regulatory changes may also cause customers to renegotiate commercial terms, seek pricing concessions, delay product rollouts, reduce capital expenditures, consolidate operations or decline to renew agreements.
Outside the UK and Brazil, several jurisdictions have implemented or proposed increased gaming duties, digital services taxes, point-of-consumption taxes, or withholding taxes applicable to cross-border technology or intellectual property payments. Tax authorities may also challenge transfer pricing arrangements, permanent establishment positions, or the characterization of supplier revenues. Even where withholding or indirect taxes are contractually recoverable, they may adversely affect cash flow, increase administrative complexity and give rise to disputes.
The scope, rate and application of gaming taxes, levies and related fiscal measures remain subject to change, including in certain cases with retroactive effect. Any material increase in such taxes or levies, or changes in interpretation or enforcement, could adversely affect customer profitability, reduce revenues under our revenue-share arrangements, increase compliance costs, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Ourability to bid on new contracts may be dependent upon our ability to fund any required up-front capital expenditures through our cashfrom operations, the incurrence of indebtedness or the raising of additional equity capital.
Our Gaming and, to a much lesser degree, our Leisure terminal contracts in the UK, Italy and Greece often require significant up-front capital expenditures for terminal assembly, software customization and implementation, systems and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically, we have funded these up-front costs through cash flows generated from operations and external borrowings. Our ability to continue to procure new contracts, including in new jurisdictions, will depend upon, among other things, our liquidity levels at the time or our ability to obtain additional debt or equity funding at commercially acceptable terms to finance the initial up-front costs. If we do not have adequate liquidity or are unable to obtain other funding for these up-front costs on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to bid on certain contracts, which could restrict our ability to grow and have an adverse effect on our ability to retain existing contracts and therefore on future profitability.
Ourbusiness depends on our ability to prevent or mitigate the effects of a cybersecurity attack.
Our information technology systems, and those of third-party service providers on which we rely, may be vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents, including ransomware, malware, targeted attacks, data breaches or other security compromises. Such incidents have occurred in the past and may arise from direct attacks against us or from breaches affecting third-party networks, and no system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. A successful cyber incident could result in service interruptions, operational delays, loss or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or personal data, regulatory investigations, litigation, reputational harm and the loss of customers, suppliers or business opportunities, while the costs to prevent, detect, mitigate or remediate such incidents could be significant.
| 20 |
| --- |
Although we continually take significant steps to mitigate cybersecurity risk across a range of functions, including those measures taken as a direct result of past such cybersecurity incidents, such measures can never eliminate the risk entirely or provide absolute security, and the Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience attempts at cyberattacks on its information systems. While there have not been cybersecurity incidents or vulnerabilities that have had a material adverse effect on the company, there is no assurance that there will not be cybersecurity incidents or vulnerabilities that will have a material adverse effect in the future.
One of the major risks to our business is the use of AI by malicious actors. AI-powered bots can imitate human players in online gambling platforms, potentially undermining the fairness and integrity of games. These bots can be programmed to try and exploit vulnerabilities in a gambling platform’s security infrastructure, can launch advanced phishing attacks, malware, and ransomware, imitate human players in online gambling platforms, potentially undermining the fairness and integrity of games, and pose a significant threat to the security of online gambling platforms. These attacks can lead to substantial financial losses, compromise game, financial or user data, and damage the company’s reputation.
Detecting fraudulent or malicious activity can be difficult. Although we have implemented measures intended to detect and reduce the occurrence of fraudulent activities, including click fraud, we cannot guarantee that we will be fully successful in doing so. If we fail to detect or prevent fraudulent or other malicious activity, it may result in dissuading sellers and customers alike from engaging with our products and services. Any actual or alleged future fraudulent activity may damage our reputation, or diminish the value of our brand name, either of which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Ourbusiness depends upon the protection of our intellectual property and proprietary information.
We believe that our success depends, in part, on protecting our intellectual property in the UK, the US, Brazil, Canada and in other countries in which we operate. Our intellectual property includes certain trademarks relating to our systems, as well as certain patents, copyrights in software and game content, trade secrets, proprietary algorithms and mathematical models, databases proprietary or confidential information that may not be protected by registration. Our intellectual property protects the integrity, security and distinctiveness of our games, remote gaming server platforms, systems, products and services, which are core to the regulated industries in which we operate. The scope and enforceability of intellectual property rights vary by jurisdiction, and protection may be limited or unavailable in certain markets. Competitors or third parties may independently develop similar or superior products, game mechanics, software, platforms or business models, which could diminish the value of our intellectual property and competitive position.
We rely on confidentiality, invention assignment and license agreements with employees, contractors, vendors and customers, and we restrict access to proprietary information. These measures may not prevent unauthorized use, reverse engineering, misappropriation or copying of our technology or business methods, and enforcing our rights globally can be costly and uncertain.
We may be subject to claims that our games, software, platforms, mechanics, branding or other business activities infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the proprietary rights of third parties. Intellectual property litigation in the gaming and technology sectors is common and may involve patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress or trade secrets. Any such claims, whether meritorious or not, could result in substantial legal costs, damages, injunctive relief, product redesign, loss of market access, contractual disruption or the requirement to obtain licenses on unfavorable terms, if available at all. Adverse outcomes could also invalidate our proprietary rights or impair our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions.
We also license certain technologies, content and intellectual property from third parties. If such licenses are terminated, not renewed or become unavailable on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to modify or discontinue affected products or incur additional development costs.
In addition, we use open-source software components in certain products and systems. Open-source licenses may impose obligations, including disclosure requirements or restrictions on use. Failure to comply with applicable license terms could require us to release proprietary source code, re-engineer products, incur remediation costs or defend against claims. Any inability to adequately protect our intellectual property, defend against infringement claims, comply with open-source obligations or maintain necessary licenses could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 21 |
| --- |
Dataprivacy, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence regulations could increase our costs and expose us to liability.
Our business is subject to numerous and evolving data protection, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, Brazil’s LGPD and various U.S. state privacy and data security laws. These regimes govern the collection, storage, use, transfer and protection of personal data processed in connection with our products and services and impose obligations relating to transparency, lawful processing, data subject rights, breach notification, vendor oversight and international data transfers. Our personal data processing on behalf of our customers, as a supplier of games, content, technology and products is limited.
Nevertheless, international transfers of personal data remain subject to legal and regulatory scrutiny. While mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses currently permit certain cross-border transfers, these mechanisms may be modified, invalidated or subject to additional safeguards, which could increase compliance costs or require changes to our data processing arrangements.
We also utilize limited artificial intelligence and automated analytics tools in certain aspects of our operations and are in the early stages of exploring and implementing artificial intelligence technologies to enhance our cybersecurity capabilities and support product development initiatives, with a clear goal to continue strengthening our cyber security posture. Importantly, we do not use AI to determine game outcomes or to directly influence player results. All game determinations operate independently of AI systems, and our use of emerging AI technologies is limited to security and product improvement functions, not gameplay or player behavior.
Nevertheless, regulatory frameworks governing automated decision-making and AI systems are evolving, including in the EU and UK, and may impose additional compliance, documentation, transparency or oversight requirements. Regulators may also scrutinize the use of analytics or profiling tools in regulated gaming environments.
Failure to comply with applicable data protection, cybersecurity or AI-related requirements could result in regulatory investigations, administrative fines (including under the GDPR of up to 4% of annual worldwide turnover or €20 million (or £17.5 million under the UK GDPR), whichever is higher), litigation, contractual liability, operational disruption or reputational harm. Any material failure to maintain appropriate data governance, security controls or regulatory compliance could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Ourresults of operations fluctuate due to seasonality and other factors and, therefore, our periodic operating results are not guaranteesof future performance.
Our revenues and operating results are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the timing, size and mix of contracts, product deployments and customer renewals. Equipment sales and certain software license revenues often reflect a limited number of large transactions that may not recur on a predictable or annual basis. Accordingly, revenue and operating results may vary substantially based on the timing of contract awards, regulatory approvals, product certifications, installations, renewals, customer capital expenditure cycles and general economic conditions.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from revenue-share or performance-based arrangements tied to customer gross gaming revenue. As a result, our revenues may fluctuate based on player activity, sporting calendars, jackpot cycles, regulatory changes affecting product features or marketing, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in tax regimes, affordability measures or consumer protection rules may also impact customer performance and, in turn, our revenues.
Our business is also subject to seasonal trends in certain jurisdictions. For example, in markets such as Italy and Greece, revenue may decline during summer months due to reduced consumer activity. Sporting schedules, holiday periods, weather patterns and tourism levels can also affect seasonal performance across both remote and land-based channels.
In addition, macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, foreign exchange movements, retail shop closures, customer consolidation and regulatory developments may affect customer investment decisions and spending patterns. Because our cost structure includes fixed expenses relating to technology infrastructure, personnel and compliance, fluctuations in revenue may have a disproportionate impact on operating margins.
As a result of these and other factors, our quarterly or annual operating results may not be indicative of future performance and may vary materially from period to period.

Ourindustry is subject to strict government regulations that could limit our existing operations and have a negative impact on our abilityto grow.
In certain jurisdictions, forms of wagering, betting and lottery may be expressly authorized and governed by law and in other jurisdictions forms of wagering, betting and lottery may be expressly prohibited by law. If expressly authorized, such activities are typically subject to extensive and evolving governmental regulation. Gaming regulatory requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Therefore, we are subject to a wide range of complex gaming laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we are licensed or may seek to be licensed. Most jurisdictions require that we are licensed or authorized, that our key personnel and certain of our security holders are found to be suitable or are licensed, and that our products are reviewed, tested and certified or approved before placement. If a license, approval, certification or finding of suitability is required by a regulatory or national authority and we fail to seek or do not receive the necessary approval, license, certification or finding of suitability, or if it is revoked, then we may be prohibited from distributing our products for use in the respective jurisdiction. Additionally, such prohibition could trigger reviews of our Company by regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions and adversely affect our ability to obtain or retain the required licenses and approvals in those jurisdictions.
The regulatory environment in any particular jurisdiction may change in the future, and any such change could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or business in general. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the operation of SBG terminals, Video Lottery Terminals or other Terminals, Virtual Sports betting, betting online, lottery or other forms of wagering systems will be approved, certified or found suitable by additional jurisdictions or that those jurisdictions in which these activities are currently permitted will continue to permit such activities in their existing forms (stricter regulations, including regulation relating to age verification, could come into force which could have adverse impacts on the Company) or at all. While we believe that we have the means to continue to develop procedures and policies designed to comply with and monitor the requirements of evolving laws, there can be no assurance that law enforcement agencies, governmental agencies or gaming regulatory authorities, whether in existing or new jurisdictions, will not seek to restrict our business or otherwise institute enforcement proceedings or other legal claims against the Company. Moreover, in addition to the risk of such enforcement actions or claims, we are also at risk from loss of business reputation in the event of any potential legal or regulatory investigation whether or not we are ultimately accused of or found to have committed any violations.
We supply our products to operators of gaming venues, platforms and websites who typically must themselves be licensed by gaming regulators. If any one of these operators fails to maintain its gaming licenses, or violates gaming laws or regulations, our business may suffer, due to our loss of a viable customer and, in instances where we have a revenue-sharing arrangement with the operator, due to our loss of our shares of the revenue generated by that operator’s business.
We supply certain of our products to operators of gaming websites as well as to aggregators that provide content to other gaming operators utilizing the internet to offer services. Despite warranties from counterparties in our contracts, there is some risk that our products may be used by platforms or by customers who may take bets from customers in jurisdictions where no gaming laws or regulations exist or even where the provision of online gaming is ineffectively regulated. Although the Company seeks to ensure that its content is available through operators where online gaming is legal, if claims are made that any of those operators or software platforms are not operating solely in jurisdictions where gaming is legal, the operators may be subjected to investigation or enforcement action by regulatory authorities. An adverse determination could result in the operator being subject to penalties ranging from special conditions being applied to its licenses, license suspension, license loss, or the operator otherwise withdrawing from or curtailing its activities in its sector or being subjected to fines, penalties or other legal consequences. Any such developments could adversely affect such operator’s revenue and have adverse effects on the Company, including loss of earnings from such operators or platforms, or the Company’s ability to operate in such jurisdiction or in other jurisdictions. The Company may also itself be subject to investigations or enforcement action (if and to the extent that local laws or the laws of other jurisdictions in which the Company operates impose liability on suppliers for the activities of the customers that they supply or for receiving funds that are deemed to be illegal because of such activities). Although we attempt to protect ourselves against any such liability for the activities of the operators that we supply, including by contractually requiring those operators to operate in accordance with all applicable laws, not to operate in certain territories and only supplying operators whose activities have been reviewed to ascertain compliance with the requisite standards of regulatory and legal compliance, nonetheless, there is a risk that we may fail to undertake sufficient due diligence, or fail to receive accurate information on which to conduct due diligence. There is also a risk that there is a change in the operations by such operators, and a risk of lack of appropriate oversight by aggregator platforms. Our good relationships with gaming regulators, and our compliance with gaming laws and regulations is critical to our business. Any determination that we have, directly or indirectly, been engaged in unlawful activity relating to gaming may adversely affect our standing with gaming regulators, and our ability to obtain and retain required licenses and other approvals in such jurisdiction or other jurisdictions.

We may be required to obtain and maintain licenses and certifications from various state and local jurisdictions in order to operate certain aspects of our business and we and our key personnel and certain security holders may be subject to extensive background investigations and suitability standards. We may also become subject to regulation in any other jurisdiction where our customers are permitted to operate in the future. Licenses and ongoing regulatory compliance can be costly. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new licenses or renew any of our existing licenses, and the loss, denial or non-renewal of any of our licenses could have an adverse effect on our business. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad discretion when granting, renewing or revoking approvals and licenses. Our failure, or the failure of any of our key personnel, systems or machines, in obtaining or retaining a required license or approval in one jurisdiction could have a negative impact on our ability (or the ability of any of our key personnel, systems or gaming machines) to obtain or retain required licenses and approvals in other jurisdictions. The failure to obtain or retain a required license or approval in any jurisdiction would decrease the geographic area where we may operate and generate revenue, decrease our share in the gaming marketplace and put us at a disadvantage compared with our competitors. In addition, the levy of substantial fines or forfeiture of assets could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some jurisdictions also require extensive personal and financial disclosure and background checks from persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage, typically 5%, of equity securities of licensed or regulated businesses. The failure of beneficial owners of our common stock to submit to such background checks and provide required disclosure could jeopardize our business. In light of these regulations and the potential impact on our business, our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the prohibition of stock ownership by persons or entities who fail to comply with informational or other regulatory requirements under applicable gaming law, who are found unsuitable to hold our stock by gaming authorities or whose stock ownership adversely affects our ability to obtain, maintain, renew or qualify for a license, contract, franchise or other regulatory approval from a gaming authority. The licensing procedures and background investigations of the authorities that regulate our businesses and the proposed amendment may inhibit potential investors from becoming significant stockholders or inhibit existing stockholders from retaining or increasing their ownership.
We may be subject to disciplinary action if, after we receive notice that a person is unsuitable to be a stockholder or to have any other relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries, we:
| (i) | pay<br> that person any dividend or interest upon our voting securities, |
|---|---|
| (ii) | allow<br> that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through securities held by that person, |
| (iii) | pay<br> remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise, or |
| (iv) | fail<br> to pursue all lawful efforts to require such unsuitable person to relinquish voting securities including, if necessary, the immediate<br> purchase of said voting securities for cash at fair market value. |
Our businesses are subject to a number of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing data privacy and security, including with respect to the collection, storage, use, transmission and protection of personal information and other consumer data. Compliance with data privacy and security restrictions could increase the cost of our operations and failure to comply with such restrictions could subject us to criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties.
We are subject to the provisions of the UK Bribery Act 2010, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws. The UK Bribery Act generally prohibits giving a financial or other advantage to another person with the intention of inducing that person to improperly perform a relevant function or activity. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act generally prohibits U.S. persons and companies and their agents from offering, promising, authorizing or making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Certain of these anti-corruption laws also contain provisions that require accurate record keeping and further require companies to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Because a significant percentage of our revenue derives from foreign sources, and our business activities involve continuing relationships with governmental regulators, there exists a risk that certain provisions of these anti-corruption laws may be breached. We are also subject to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations, and to economic and trade sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the U.S. relating to our ability to engage in transactions with entities that are domiciled in countries or territories subject to comprehensive OFAC trade sanctions (currently under extensive sanctions:, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, as well as others under targeted sanctions programs), or that are included on OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Although we have policies and controls in place that are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and sanctions regimes, if those controls are ineffective or an employee or intermediary fails to comply with the applicable regulations, we may be subject to criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties. Any such violation could disrupt our business and adversely affect our reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

We review and develop our internal compliance programs in an effort to ensure that we comply with legal requirements imposed in connection with our business activities. The compliance program is run on a day-to-day basis by our in-house legal department with compliance and technical advice provided by our compliance managers and outside professionals. There can be no assurance that such steps will prevent the violation of one or more laws or regulations, or that a violation by us or an employee will not result in the imposition of administrative, civil and even criminal sanctions, monetary fines or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses.
Ourindustry is subject to regulations that set parameters for levels of gaming or wagering duty, tax, stakes, prize, technology certificationsand return to player percentages.
In most jurisdictions in which we operate or expect to seek to operate, the level of duty or taxation, the stakes, prizes and return to player percentages of wagering, betting and lottery games and the speed at which players can participate in gaming, or technology certifications are, or may be, defined by government regulations, according to each jurisdiction and remain subject to change. Those regulations may also affect the premises in which gaming activities may take place (i.e., by limiting the number of gaming machines which may be housed in a licensed gaming location, or by restricting the locations in which licensed gaming premises may be situated). Once authorized, such parameters are subject to extensive and evolving governmental regulation. Moreover, such regulatory gaming requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Therefore, we are subject to a wide range of complex gaming parameters in the jurisdictions in which we are licensed. If a key parameter is changed, such as the level of taxation or duty or the maximum stake or prize or return to player of a game, then it may be to the detriment of our business, financial condition, results and prospects or we may be unable to distribute our products profitably.
Ourbusiness is subject to evolving technology, product certification and operational performance risks.
Our products and platforms are subject to regulatory certification, technical standards, testing and homologation requirements in the jurisdictions in which they are deployed. Delays in obtaining or renewing approvals, failure to meet evolving technical standards, or withdrawal or suspension of certifications could delay product launches, restrict market access or require costly modifications. In addition, our business depends on the reliable performance, availability and scalability of our remote gaming servers, platforms, integrations and related infrastructure. System outages, latency issues, data integrity errors, cybersecurity incidents, capacity constraints or integration failures could disrupt customer operations, result in contractual penalties or reputational harm and subject us to regulatory scrutiny. We also rely on third-party technology providers, including cloud infrastructure providers, hosting services, payment systems, data feeds, random number generators and other software and hardware vendors. Disruptions, service failures, security breaches, contractual disputes or termination of such third-party arrangements could impair our ability to deliver products and services.
Furthermore, maintaining, upgrading or migrating legacy systems and addressing technical debt may require significant investment and could create operational risk, delays or performance limitations. Any failure of our technology infrastructure or product certification processes could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Ourbusiness competes on the basis of the stability, security and integrity of our software, networks, systems, games and products.
We believe that our success depends, in significant part, on providing secure products and systems to our vendors and customers with high levels of uptime, quality and availability. Attempts to penetrate security measures may come from various combinations of customers, retailers, vendors, players, employees and others. Our ability to monitor and ensure quality of our products is continually reviewed and enhanced. There can be no assurance that our business might not be affected by a security breach, virus, Denial of Service attack, or technical error, failure or lapse which could have an adverse impact on our business.
Additionally, we maintain a large number of games and terminals and jackpot systems, which rely on algorithms and software designed to pay out winnings to players at certain ratios. Our systems, testing and processes to monitor and ensure the payout of games are continually reviewed and enhanced and are additionally reviewed and tested by third-party expert test houses. There can be no assurance that our business might not be affected by a malicious or unintentional breach or technical error, failure or lapse which could have an adverse impact on payout ratios which would consequently have an adverse effect on our business in the form of lost revenue or penalty payments to players or customers. Gaming regulators may take enforcement action against us (including the imposition of significant fines) where the payout ratios fall below the ratios advertised to customers, or our software, networks, systems, games and/or products otherwise suffer from technical error, failure or lapse.

Wemay be adversely affected by disruptions to our transaction gaming and lottery systems, as well as disruptions to our internal enterpriseand information technology systems.
Our operations are dependent upon our transactional gaming, lottery and information technology systems. We rely upon such systems to manage customer systems on a timely basis, to coordinate our sales and installation activities across all of our locations and to manage invoicing. A substantial disruption in our transactional gaming, lottery and information technology systems for any prolonged time period (arising from, for example, system capacity limits from unexpected increases in our volume of business, outages, computer viruses, unauthorized access or delays in its service) could result in delays in serving our customers, which could adversely affect our reputation and customer relationships and could result in monetary penalties pursuant to the terms of customer contracts. Our systems might be damaged or interrupted by natural or man-made events or by computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions affecting the Internet and our disaster recovery plan may be ineffective at mitigating the effects of these risks. Such delays, problems or costs could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Becausetax laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and uncertainty, tax payments may ultimately differ from amounts currently recordedby the Company.
We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. The determination of the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires judgment and is based on diverse legislative and regulatory structures that exist in the various jurisdictions where the company operates. The ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements and may adversely affect the Company’s financial results for the period when such determination is made. Tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken and assess additional taxes via tax audit. We work with local tax experts to support our tax provisions in line with our tax strategy. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to challenge and the future outcome of any potential audits could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Environmental, social and governance,responsible gambling and market perception risks could adversely affect our business.
While the Company is not currently subject to specific regulatory reporting or supervisory requirements relating to environmental, social or governance (“ESG”) matters in either the United States or the United Kingdom, certain of the Company’s customers and commercial partners periodically request information regarding the Company’s policies, practices and performance in areas such as environmental sustainability, governance and corporate responsibility. These requests are typically made through customer due-diligence processes, supplier questionnaires or procurement assessments. The Company responds to such requests on a case-by-case basis and continues to monitor evolving expectations in this area. Although these inquiries do not presently constitute formal regulatory obligations, they may require management attention and the development or enhancement of internal policies, procedures and reporting practices over time. Even as a B2B provider, adverse developments affecting the broader gambling sector including a heightened focus on affordability, player protection, advertising restrictions or social impact may indirectly impact our customers’ operations, profitability and demand for our products.
Ourdirectors and key personnel are subject to the approval of certain regulatory authorities, which, if withheld, would require us to severour relationship with non-approved individuals, which could adversely impact our operations.
Our members, managers, directors, officers and key employees must be approved by certain government and state regulatory authorities. If such regulatory authorities were to find a person occupying any such position unsuitable, we would be required to sever our relationship with that person. We may thereby lose key personnel which would have a negative effect on our operations. Certain public and private issuances of securities and certain other transactions by us also require the approval of certain state regulatory authorities. Further, our gaming regulators can require us to disassociate ourselves from suppliers or business partners found unsuitable by the regulators. The regulatory environment in any particular jurisdiction may change in the future and any such change could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, we are subject to various gaming taxes, which are subject to change at any time.

Licensingand gaming authorities have significant control over our operations and ownership, and could cause us to redeem certain stockholderson potentially disadvantageous terms.
Regulatory authorities have broad powers to request detailed financial and other information, to limit, condition, suspend or revoke a registration, gaming license or related approval and to approve changes in our operations. Some jurisdictions also require extensive personal and financial disclosure and background checks from persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage of equity securities of licensed or regulated businesses. For example, in the UK, an entity holding a gambling license must notify the Gambling Commission of the identity of any stockholder holding, directly or indirectly, 3% or more of its equity or voting rights, and must apply for permission to continue to rely on its operating license whenever a new person acquires, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of its equity or voting rights. The failure of beneficial owners of our common stock to submit to such background checks and provide required disclosure could jeopardize our business. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the extent required by the gaming authority making the determination of unsuitability or to the extent the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that a person is likely to jeopardize the Company’s or any affiliate’s application for, receipt of, approval for, right to the use of, or entitlement to, any gaming license, shares of our capital stock that are owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates are subject to mandatory redemption by us. The redemption price may be paid in cash, by promissory note, or both, as required, and pursuant to the terms established by, the applicable gaming authority and, if not, as we elect. Such a redemption could occur on terms or at a time that a stockholder believes to be disadvantageous.
Changesin laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with, or liabilities under, any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business,investments and results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional, state and local governments, including non-U.S. governments. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have an adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, or liabilities thereunder, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Certainof our executive officers and directors may become affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those conductedby us (or may enter into similar business activities in the future) and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining whethera particular business opportunity should be presented to us or to another entity.
Certain of our executive officers and directors may become affiliated with entities that are engaged in businesses similar to the ones we operate (or may enter into similar business activities in the future). As a result, any of them may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and to other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented — to us or to another entity. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential business opportunity may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our Company and such opportunity is one that we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.
Weare a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and derive all of our operating income from our subsidiaries. Other than any cash we retain, all of our assets are held by our direct and indirect subsidiaries. We rely on the earnings and cash flows of our subsidiaries, which are paid to us by our subsidiaries, if and only to the extent available, in the form of dividends and other payments or distributions, to meet our debt service obligations. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments or distributions to us will depend upon their respective operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, the laws of their jurisdiction of organization (which may limit the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends and other distributions to us), the terms of existing and future indebtedness and other agreements of our subsidiaries and the covenants of any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur.

Ourinability to identify, complete or successfully integrate future acquisitions could limit our growth and adversely affect our results.
We may pursue strategic acquisitions to expand our products, technology capabilities or geographic footprint; however, we cannot assure that suitable opportunities will be available on acceptable terms or that we will obtain necessary financing, shareholder approvals or gaming regulatory clearances, including change-of-control and suitability approvals across multiple jurisdictions. Acquisitions in the regulated gaming industry involve significant risks, including integration challenges, regulatory delays, unforeseen liabilities, customer or employee attrition, tax and compliance exposure, and failure to achieve anticipated synergies. Transactions financed with debt may increase leverage, and those involving equity issuances may dilute existing stockholders. If we are unable to successfully identify, complete or integrate acquisitions, our growth strategy, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Ourbusiness may be affected by changes in general and local economic and political conditions.
The demand for our services is sensitive to general and local economic conditions over which we have no control, including changes in the levels of consumer disposable income and geographic exposure to macro-economic trends and taxation. In addition, the economic stability of certain Eurozone countries where we conduct or intend to conduct business may become affected by sovereign debt crises or other general and local economic and political conditions. Adverse changes in economic conditions may affect our business generally or may be more prevalent or concentrated in particular sectors in which we operate. Any deterioration in economic conditions or the continuation of uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Other economic risks which may adversely affect our performance include high interest rates, inflation and volatile foreign exchange markets, and effects arising from the UK’s exit from the European Union (“Brexit”).
The performance of our business may also be subject to political risks in certain jurisdictions where we operate, including change of government, political unrest, war or terrorism.
Ourrevenue can vary substantially from period to period and you should not rely upon our periodic operating results as indications of futureperformance.
Our revenues are subject to variations. Wagering equipment sales and software license revenue usually reflect a limited number of large transactions, which may not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, revenue and operating results can vary substantially from period to period as a result of the timing of major equipment sales and software license revenue. In addition, revenue may vary depending on the timing of contract awards and renewals, changes in customer budgets and general economic conditions. Revenue may also vary based on adverse sequences of payouts of prizes, unusual jackpot wins, and other variations in game margin.
Our business could also be affected by natural or man-made disasters such as floods, storms or terrorist attacks. We have taken steps to have disaster recovery plans in place but there can be no assurance that such an event would not have a significant adverse impact on our business.
Wehave operations in a variety of countries, which subjects us to additional risks.
We are a global business and derived substantially all of our revenue outside the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2025. In the year ended December 31, 2025, we earned approximately 69% of our revenue from our operations in the UK, 9% of our revenue from our operations in Greece, and 22% of our revenue from our operations in the rest of the world. Our business in foreign markets subjects us to risks customarily associated with such operations, including:
| ● | foreign<br> withholding taxes on, or bank regulatory restrictions on expatriating, our subsidiaries’ earnings that could reduce cash flow<br> available to meet our required debt service and other obligations; |
|---|---|
| ● | the<br> complexity of foreign laws, regulations and markets; |
| 28 |
| --- | | ● | the<br> impact of foreign labor laws and disputes; | | --- | --- | | ● | potential<br> risks relating to our ability to manage our foreign operations, monitor our customers’ activities or our partners’ activities<br> which may subject us to risks involving such other entities’ financial condition or to inconsistent interests or goals; | | ● | gaming<br> tax increases; | | ● | other<br> economic, tax and regulatory policies of foreign governments; and | | --- | --- | | ● | the<br> ability to attract and retain key personnel in foreign jurisdictions. |
Our consolidated financial results are significantly affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange rate exposures arise from current transactions and anticipated transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, and from the translation of foreign currency balance sheet accounts into GBP-denominated or USD-denominated balance sheet accounts. Exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations exists and will continue because a significant portion of our revenue is denominated in currencies other than the USD, particularly the British pound (“GBP”) and the Euro. Exchange rate fluctuations have in the past adversely affected operating results and cash flows and may continue to adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows and the value of assets.
As a result of the geographic concentration of our operations in the UK, Italy and Greece, our operating results and cash flow depend significantly on economic conditions and the other factors listed above in these sector areas. There can be no assurance that we will be able to operate on a continuing successful basis in these sectors or in any combination of different geographical sectors.
Ourbusiness could be negatively affected by ownership changes and consolidation in the gaming industry.
Because a substantial part of our revenue is recurring in nature, our medium to long term results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be negatively affected if any of our customers were sold to or merged with other customers, or if consolidation in the gaming industry were otherwise affected. Consolidation among gaming operators could result in our customers using more products and services from our competitors or reducing their spending on our products, or could otherwise cause downward pricing pressures, any of which outcomes could negatively affect our business.
Wemay not be able to capitalize on the expansion of interactive gaming or other trends and changes in the gaming and lottery industries,including due to laws and regulations governing these industries, and other factors.
We participate in new and evolving aspects of the interactive gaming and lottery industries. Part of our strategy is to take advantage of the liberalization of regulations covering these industries on a global basis. These industries involve significant risks and uncertainties, including legal, business and financial risks. The fast-changing environment in these industries can make it difficult to plan strategically and can provide opportunities for competitors to grow their businesses at our expense. Consequently, our future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition are difficult to predict and may not grow at the rates we expect.
Laws relating to interactive gaming are evolving. To varying degrees, governments have taken steps to change the regulation of interactive wagering through the implementation of new or revised licensing and taxation regimes, including the possible imposition of sanctions on unlicensed providers. We cannot predict the timing, scope or terms of the implementation or revision of any such state, federal or foreign laws or regulations, or the extent to which any such laws and regulations may facilitate or hinder our strategy.
In jurisdictions that authorize interactive gaming, we cannot assure that we will be successful in offering our technology, content and services to interactive gaming operators, because we expect to face intense competition from our traditional competitors in the gaming and lottery industries as well as a number of other domestic and foreign competitors (and, in some cases, the operators themselves), many of which have substantially greater financial resources or experience in this area.

Know-your-customer and geo-location programs and technologies supplied by third parties are an important aspect of certain interactive gaming products and services, because they can confirm certain information with respect to players and prospective players, such as age, identity and location. Payment processing programs and technologies, typically provided by third parties, are also a necessary feature of interactive wagering products and services. These programs and technologies are costly, and our use of them may have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Additionally, we cannot assure that products or services containing these programs and technologies will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, or that they will perform accurately or otherwise in accordance with required specifications.
Ourbusiness is capital intensive and our ability to retain customers may be influenced by our ability to deploy additional capital.
Customers of our SBG products may request us to incur capital expenditures to provide gaming terminals to support their land-based operations. While we seek to obtain what we believe to be satisfactory rates of return on such investments, these capital expenditures can be meaningful and may be concentrated within short periods of time. To the extent that we have insufficient access to capital or liquidity at the time that a customer, or prospective customer, makes such a request, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in retaining or attracting such customer. Such a circumstance could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Oursuccess depends on our ability to attract, retain and develop key personnel.
Our performance depends significantly on the continued services and contributions of our senior management, key technical specialists, game designers, developers and other employees with expertise in regulated gaming technology, compliance and operations. The loss of one or more key individuals, or the inability to attract, retain, develop and effectively replace qualified personnel in a competitive labor market, could disrupt our operations, impair customer relationships, delay product development, weaken our strategic execution and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We compete with a broad range of companies, including large multinational technology firms, for skilled personnel and may face upward pressure on compensation and retention incentives. Failure to implement effective succession planning or to recruit and retain talent on commercially reasonable terms could adversely affect our growth, operational performance and competitive position.

Restrictionsin our existing borrowings, including covenants set forth in our existing debt facilities, or any other indebtedness we may incur inthe future, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations, and our ability to make distributionsto stockholders and the value of our common stock.
Our existing borrowings, and any other indebtedness we may enter into, may limit our ability to, among other things:
| ● | incur<br> or guarantee additional debt; |
|---|---|
| ● | make<br> distributions or dividends on or redeem or repurchase shares of common stock; |
| ● | make<br> certain investments and acquisitions; |
| ● | make<br> capital expenditures; |
| ● | incur<br> certain liens or permit them to exist; |
| ● | enter<br> into certain types of transactions with affiliates; |
| ● | acquire,<br> merge or consolidate with another company; and |
| ● | transfer,<br> sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. |
The provisions of our existing borrowings may affect our ability to obtain future financing and pursue attractive business opportunities and our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in business conditions.
As of December 31, 2025, our senior debt consisted of an aggregate of £270.0 million ($363.2 million) of Senior Notes, which carry an interest rate per annum equal to the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) rate plus a margin (based on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 5.50% to 6.00% per annum and mature on June 9, 2030 (five years from the date of issuance), in addition to credit facility borrowings available under a secured revolving facility (“the RCF Agreement”), in an original principal amount of £17.8 million ($23.9 million) under which, as of the Closing Date of June 9, 2025, the Issuer is able to draw funds. The RCF Agreement will terminate on December 9, 2029 (54 months from the Closing Date). (see Note 13 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included elsewhere in this Report).
The Notes Purchase Agreement governing the Senior Notes contains incurrence covenants that limit the ability of DMWSL 631 Limited (the “Financing Parent”) and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries; (ii) create or incur certain liens; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends or distributions to the Financing Parent’s stockholders or repurchase the Financing Parent’s stock; (iv) prepay or redeem subordinated debt; (v) make certain investments, including participating joint ventures; (vi) sell assets, or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; (vii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Financing Parent’s assets or those of the Financing Parent’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; and (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
The Notes Purchase Agreement requires that the Financing Parent maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.00x on the test date for the relevant period ended September 30, 2025, stepping down to 4.75x on June 30, 2027 and thereafter (the “Senior Secured Notes Financial Covenant”). The Senior Notes Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The Notes Purchase Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
The RCF Agreement governing credit facility borrowings contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Financing Parent’s subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain exceptions), representations, warranties, limitations and events of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the financing documents, cross-default, insolvency and litigation) customary for similar facilities and subject to customary carve-outs and grace periods. Following the occurrence of an event of default which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more than 50% of total commitments under the RCF may, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between the Lenders and the holders of the Senior Notes), instruct the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF Loans, (ii) instruct the security agent to enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise any other remedies available to the Lenders.

The RCF Agreement requires that the Financing Parent maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.50x on the test date for the relevant period ended September 30, 2025, stepping down to 5.25x on June 30, 2027 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The RCF Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
Wemay have future capital needs and may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms.
Economic and credit market conditions, the performance of the gaming industry and our financial performance, as well as other factors, may constrain our financing abilities. Our ability to secure additional financing, if available, and to satisfy our financial obligations under indebtedness outstanding from time to time will depend upon our future operating performance, the availability of credit, economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
We may require additional financing to fund our operations and growth. The failure to secure additional financing could have an adverse effect on our continued development or growth. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us.
Wemay be unable to identify and develop sufficient new products and product lines and integrate them into our existing business, whichmay adversely affect our ability to compete; our expansion into new sectors may present competitive and regulatory challenges thatdiffer from current ones.
Our business depends in part on our ability to identify and develop future products and product lines that complement existing products and product lines and that respond to our customers’ and players’ needs. We may not be able to compete effectively unless our product selection keeps up with trends in the sectors in which it competes or trends in new products. If our new products and product lines do not meet our customers’ and players’ expectations, or if they are not brought to market in a timely and effective manner, our revenue (especially our revenue under revenue participation-based contracts) and financial performance will be negatively affected. In addition to market factors, our ability to develop new products and their ability to achieve commercial success will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to:
| ● | effectively<br> market our games to our customers and to existing and new players; |
|---|---|
| ● | adapt<br> to changing customer needs and player preferences; |
| ● | adapt<br> to new technologies; |
| ● | adapt<br> game features and contents for an increasingly diverse set of devices and specifications; |
| ● | minimize<br> launch delays and cost overruns on the development of new products and features; |
| ● | expand<br> and enhance games and content after their initial release; |
| ● | attract,<br> retain and motivate talented and experienced game designers, product managers and engineers; |
| ● | achieve<br> and maintain player engagement; |
| ● | develop<br> games that can build upon or become franchise games; |
| ● | maintain<br> quality content and game experience; |
| ● | compete<br> successfully against a large and growing number of market participants; |
| ● | integrate<br> new products and product lines into our existing business; and |
| ● | minimize<br> and quickly resolve bugs or outages. |
| 32 |
| --- |
In addition, if new technologies are protected by the intellectual property rights of others, including our competitors, we may be prevented from introducing new products and product lines based on these technologies or expanding into sectors created by these technologies. Even if we are able to develop new products and product lines that achieve success, it is possible that these products and product lines could divert players of our other games without growing our overall user base, which could harm our operating results. Furthermore, the success of new products and product lines will depend upon market demand and there is a risk that new products and product lines will not deliver expected results, which could adversely affect our future sales and results of operations. It is difficult to know whether we will succeed in continuing to develop successful new products and product lines.
Our expansion into new sectors may present competitive, distribution and regulatory challenges that differ from current ones. We may be less familiar with new product categories and may face different or additional risks, as well as increased or unexpected costs, compared to existing operations.
Changesin customer and player preferences could adversely affect our results of operations.
Competition in the gaming industry is intense and subject to rapid change, including changes from evolving customer and player preferences. Accordingly, our success in the gaming industry is dependent on our ability to offer attractive products to our customers and players. In the markets in which we operate, we compete with various other gaming vendors and our customers and players now have access to many other forms of recreational and leisure activities. Our participation-based revenue will depend on the appeal of our gaming offerings to our customers and players relative to our competitors. If we are not able to anticipate and react to changes in customer and player preferences, our competitive and financial position may be adversely affected.
In addition, our future success will also depend on the success of the gaming industry as a whole in attracting and retaining players. Gaming may lose popularity as new leisure activities arise or as other leisure activities become more popular. Alternatively, changes in social habits, preferences and demographics could result in reduced acceptance of gaming as a leisure activity. If the popularity of gaming declines for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Ourfinancial success is dependent on our customers’ ability to attract and maintain players.
We have a participation-driven business model, whereby a significant amount of our revenue is generated from the gaming revenue of our customers, typically as a percentage of gross revenue. Accordingly, our results of operation and financial condition have been and are expected to continue to be influenced by the ability of our customers to attract and maintain players. The ability of our customers to attract and maintain players depends on a number of factors, including player gaming preferences, marketing of our products and player perceptions of our customers. If we are unable to provide our customers with products that players find engaging or fail to perform our obligations in maintaining the products we provide to our customers, players may reduce the amount they spend with our customers, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our results of operations (see “—We may be unable to identify and develop sufficient new productsand product lines and integrate them into our existing business, which may adversely affect our ability to compete; our expansioninto new sectors may present competitive and regulatory challenges that differ from current ones.”). Under most of our contracts, our customers are under no obligation to market our products and therefore we are dependent on our customers in promoting our products to maintain and attract players. Failure by our customers to effectively market our products may result in decreased gaming revenue for our customers from our products, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Player perception of our customers may also impact the willingness of players to engage with our customers, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our results of operation.

RisksRelating to Our Status as a Public Company and Ownership of Our Common Stock
Wemay be required to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill, identified intangible assets and property and equipment or to takewrite-downs or write-offs, restructuring or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, resultsof operations and stock price, which could have an adverse effect on our common stock and your investment.
We are required to test goodwill and any other intangible asset with an indefinite life for possible impairment on the same date each year and on an interim basis if there are indicators of a possible impairment. We are also required to evaluate amortizable intangible assets and property and equipment for impairment if there are indicators of a possible impairment. There is significant judgment required in the analysis of a potential impairment of goodwill, identified intangible assets and property and equipment. If, as a result of a general economic slowdown, deterioration in one or more of the sectors in which we operate or impairment in our financial performance and/or future outlook, the estimated fair value of our long-lived assets decreases, we may determine that one or more of our long-lived assets is impaired. An impairment charge would be determined based on the estimated fair value of the assets and any such impairment charge could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Company or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.
Theliquidity of the trading markets for our securities and other factors may adversely affect the price of our securities.
The price of our securities may be affected by the light volume of the trading markets for our securities as well as a variety of other factors including due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. If our results do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline. In addition, fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Any of the factors listed below could have an adverse effect on the price of our securities, and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.
Factors affecting the trading price of the Company’s securities may include:
| ● | market<br> conditions affecting the gaming industry; |
|---|---|
| ● | quarterly<br> variations in our results of operations; |
| ● | changes<br> in government regulations; |
| ● | the<br> announcement of acquisitions by us or our competitors; |
| ● | changes<br> in general economic and political conditions; |
| ● | volatility<br> in the financial markets; |
| ● | results<br> of our operations and the operations of others in our industry; |
| ● | changes<br> in interest rates; |
| ● | threatened<br> or actual litigation and government investigations; |
| ● | the<br> addition or departure of key personnel; |
| ● | actions<br> taken by our stockholders, including the sale or disposition of their shares of our common stock; and |
| ● | differences<br> between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts and changes in analysts’ recommendations<br> or projections. |
| 34 |
| --- |
Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and NASDAQ in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to the Company could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Depending on the number of shares you hold and other factors, you may not be able to sell your shares at the times you prefer at desirable market prices.
Wedo not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock.
We do not currently expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock and have not paid cash dividends on our common stock to date. Any future dividend payments are within the absolute discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our results of operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, financial condition, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, business opportunities, anticipated cash needs, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Ourbusiness and stock price may suffer if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about theCompany, our business, or our sector, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the price and tradingvolume of our common stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our sector, or our competitors. If securities or industry analysts do not continue to cover the Company, our stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively affected. If any of the analysts who may cover the Company change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the Company were to cease coverage of the Company or fail to regularly publish reports on the Company, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Wemay issue a significant number of shares of our common stock or other securities from time to time which could result in substantial dilution and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We may issue shares of our common stock or other securities from time to time as consideration for, or to finance, future acquisitions and investments or for other capital needs. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our shares or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of shares would have on the market price of our common stock. If any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of shares of common stock or the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of other securities that we may issue may in turn be substantial and may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may also grant registration rights covering shares of our common stock or other securities that we may issue in connection with any such acquisitions and investments. The actual or perceived issuance or resale of these securities could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly.
On May 17, 2021, we filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 covering the offer and sale of up to $300.0 million of various securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and units. Although this registration statement has expired, we may in the future file additional registration statements covering similar securities. Any such future offerings, or the perception that we may conduct such offerings, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our securities.

Anti-takeoverprovisions contained in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law,could impair a takeover attempt.
Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our Board of Directors. These provisions include:
| ● | no<br> cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates; |
|---|---|
| ● | the<br> exclusive right of our Board of Directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board of Directors<br> or the resignation, death, or removal of a director with or without cause by stockholders, which prevents stockholders from being<br> able to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors; |
| ● | the<br> ability of our Board of Directors to determine whether to issue shares of our preferred stock and to determine the price and other<br> terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly<br> dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer; |
| ● | limiting<br> the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; |
| ● | designating<br> the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for adjudication of disputes; |
| ● | controlling<br> the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings; and |
| ● | advance<br> notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board of Directors or to propose matters<br> to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation<br> of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company. |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or dissuade hostile takeovers and changes in control of the Company or changes in our Board of Directors and management.
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock. Any provision of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
Risks
Relating to Economic and Political Conditions
Volatilityor disruption in the financial markets could materially adversely affect our business and the trading price of our common stock.
Our business relies on stable and efficient financial markets. Any disruption in the credit and capital markets could adversely impact our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms. Volatility in the financial markets could also result in difficulties for financial institutions and other parties that we do business with, which could potentially affect the ability to access financing under existing arrangements. We are exposed to the impact of any global or domestic economic disruption. Our ability to continue to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash requirements over the long term may require access to additional sources of funds, including equity and debt capital markets, and market volatility and general economic conditions may adversely affect our ability to access capital markets. In addition, the inability of our vendors to access capital and liquidity with which to maintain their inventory, production levels and product quality and to operate their businesses, or the insolvency of our vendors, could lead to their failure to deliver merchandise. If we are unable to purchase products when needed, our sales could be materially adversely affected. Accordingly, volatility or disruption in the financial markets could impair our ability to execute our growth strategy and could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.
| 36 |

Currencyexchange rate fluctuations could result in lower revenue, higher costs and decreased margins and earnings.
We conduct purchase and sale transactions in various currencies, which increases our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates globally. International revenue and expenses generally are derived from sales and operations in various foreign currencies, and this revenue and these expenses could be affected by currency fluctuations, specifically amounts recorded in foreign currencies and translated into USD for consolidated financial reporting, as weakening of foreign currencies relative to the USD will adversely affect the USD value of the Company’s foreign currency-denominated sales and earnings. Currency exchange rate fluctuations could also disrupt the business of the independent manufacturers that produce our products by making their purchases of raw materials more expensive and more difficult to finance. Foreign currency fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We may hedge other foreign currency exposures to lessen and delay, but not to completely eliminate, the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on our financial results. Since the hedging activities are designed to lessen volatility, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger USD or other trading currency, but they also reduce the positive impact of a weaker USD or other trading currency. Our future financial results could be significantly affected by the value of the USD in relation to the foreign currencies in which we conduct business. The degree to which our financial results are affected for any given time period will depend in part upon our hedging activities, and there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will be effective.
Globaleconomic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
The uncertain state of the global economy continues to affect businesses around the world, most acutely in emerging markets and developing economies. If global economic and financial market conditions do not improve or deteriorate, the following factors could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition:
| ● | Slower<br> consumer spending may result in reduced demand for our products, reduced orders from retailers for our products, order cancellations,<br> lower revenue, higher discounts, increased inventories and lower gross margins; |
|---|---|
| ● | In<br> the future, we may be unable to access financing in the credit and capital markets at reasonable rates in the event we find it desirable<br> to do so; |
| ● | We<br> conduct transactions in various currencies, which increases our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative<br> to the USD. Continued volatility in the markets and exchange rates for foreign currencies and contracts in foreign currencies could<br> have a significant impact on our reported operating results and financial condition; |
| 37 |
| --- | | ● | Continued<br> volatility in the availability and prices for commodities and raw materials we use in our products and in our supply chain could<br> have an adverse effect on our costs, gross margins and profitability; | | --- | --- | | ● | If<br> operators or distributors of our products experience declining revenue or experience difficulty obtaining financing in the capital<br> and credit markets to purchase our products, this could result in reduced orders for our products, order cancellations, late retailer<br> payments, extended payment terms, higher accounts receivable, reduced cash flows, greater expense associated with collection efforts<br> and increased bad debt expense; | | ● | If<br> operators or distributors of our products experience severe financial difficulty, some may become insolvent and cease business operations,<br> which could negatively affect the sale of our products to consumers; and | | ● | If<br> contract manufacturers of our products or other participants in our supply chain experience difficulty obtaining financing in the<br> capital and credit markets to purchase raw materials or to finance capital equipment and other general working capital needs, it<br> may result in delays or non-delivery of shipments of our products. |
Internationalhostilities, terrorist or cyber-terrorist activities, natural disasters, pandemics, and infrastructure disruptions could prevent us fromeffectively serving our customers and thus adversely affect our results of operations.
Acts of terrorist violence, cyber-terrorism, political unrest, armed regional and international hostilities and international responses to these hostilities, global health risks or pandemics, natural disasters such as cyclones and typhoons, or the threat of or perceived potential for these events could have a negative impact on us. These events could adversely affect our customers’ levels of business activity in certain areas (or involve government-mandated shutdowns of our customers’ and our venues) and precipitate sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles. We generally do not have insurance for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist attacks, conflicts and wars. If these disruptions prevent us from effectively serving our customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

1C. CYBERSECURITY.
The Company maintains a governance structure to address cybersecurity risk, which involves a dedicated Information Security Team (the “Information Security Team”), an Information Security Governance Board (the “Information Security Governance Board”), the Audit Committee of the Board and the Board.
The Company’s Information Security Team, led by our Director of Information Security, is responsible for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and reporting on material cybersecurity risks to the Company’s Information Security Governance Board. The Company’s Director Information Security holds high-level licenses and certifications relating to information security, including being a Certified Chief Information Security Officer and (C-CISO), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and holding a Certificate in Formation Security Management Principles (CISMP). The Company’s Information Security Governance Board, chaired by the Company’s Director of Information Security and comprised of the General Counsel, the President & Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Product Officer and the Enterprise Risk Manager, drives awareness and alignment across broad stakeholder groups for cybersecurity governance and risk management and reporting. The Information Security Governance Board receives quarterly reports from the Company’s Director of Information Security. The Audit Committee receives at least quarterly reports from the Company’s Director of Information Security. The Audit Committee periodically reports to the Board.
We have implemented a risk-based approach to identify and assess the cybersecurity threats that could affect our business and information systems. Our cybersecurity program is aligned with industry standards and best practices, such as ISO 27001. We conduct periodic risk assessments to identify the potential impact and likelihood of various cyber scenarios, including those involving third-party service providers, and to determine the appropriate mitigation strategies and controls. We use various tools and methodologies to manage cybersecurity risk, including implementation of a business continuity process that includes a comprehensive Incident Response Plan and Procedure that is reviewed on a regular basis. We also monitor and evaluate our cybersecurity posture and performance on an ongoing basis through regular vulnerability scans, penetration tests, threat intelligence feeds, and external audits by an independent third party. The Company maintains the ISO 27001 accreditation. We maintain a vendor onboarding program pursuant to-which third-party service providers with access to personal, confidential or proprietary information to implement and maintain comprehensive cybersecurity practices consistent with applicable legal standards and industry best practices. The Company’s assessment of risks associated with use of third-party providers is part of the Company’s overall cybersecurity risk management program.

The Company also maintains a training program (“Training Program”), which is designed, implemented, and maintained by the Company’s Director of Information Security. This Training Program reinforces the Company’s information technology risk and security management policies, standards and practices, as well as the expectation that employees comply with these policies and engages personnel through training on how to identify potential cybersecurity risks and protect the Company’s resources and information, as well as how to respond to unauthorized access to or use of Company information. The Training Program training is mandatory for all employees at least annually, and it is supplemented by Company-wide assessment initiatives, including periodic phishing campaigns.
Although we have designed our cybersecurity program and governance procedures above to mitigate cybersecurity risks, we face unknown cybersecurity risks, threats and attacks. To date, these risks, threats or attacks have not had a material impact on our operations, business strategy or financial results, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not have a material impact in the future. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further information. We continuously work to enhance our cybersecurity risk management program.

ITEM
- MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Thefollowing discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financialstatements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involverisks and uncertainties. Our actual future results could differ materially from the historical results discussed below. Factors thatcould cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sectiontitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report.
Forward-LookingStatements
We make forward-looking statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For definitions of the term Forward-Looking Statements, see the definitions provided in the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the start of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025.
Seasonality
Our results of operations can fluctuate due to seasonal trends and other factors. Sales of our gaming machines can vary quarter on quarter due to both supply and demand factors. Player activity for the holiday parks is generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year, particularly during the summer months and slower during the first and fourth quarters of the year. Following the sale of the holiday parks business this will no longer apply in future years.
Revenue
We generate revenue in four principal ways: i) on a participation basis, ii) on a fixed rental fee basis, iii) through product sales and iv) through software license fees. Participation revenue generally includes a right to receive a share of our customers’ gaming revenue, typically as a share of net win but sometimes as a share of the handle or “coin in” which represents the total amount wagered.
GeographicRange
Geographically, the majority of our revenue is derived from, and the majority of our non-current assets are attributable to, our UK operations. The remainder of our revenue is derived from, and non-current assets attributable to, Greece and the rest of the world.
For the twelve-months ended December 31, 2025, we derived approximately 69% of our revenue from the UK (including customers headquartered in the UK but whose revenue is generated globally), 9% from Greece, and the remaining 22% across the rest of the world. For the twelve-months ended December 31, 2024, we derived approximately 73% of our revenue from the UK (including customers headquartered in the UK but whose revenue is generated globally), 7% from Greece, and the remaining 20% across the rest of the world.
As of December 31, 2025, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 72% to the UK, 15% to Greece and 13% across the rest of the world. As of December 31, 2024, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 75% to the UK, 8% to Greece and 17% across the rest of the world.

ForeignExchange
Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies into our reporting currency and the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions and balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. The geographic region in which the largest portion of our business is operated is the UK and the British pound (“GBP”) is considered to be our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Our results are translated from our functional currency of GBP into the reporting currency of USD using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates for period-end balances. The effect of translating our functional currency into our reporting currency, as well as translating the results of foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional currency into our functional currency, is reported separately in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
In the section “Results of Operations” below, currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP:USD rate. This is not a U.S. GAAP measure but is one which management believes gives a clearer indication of results. In the tables below, variances in particular line items from period to period exclude currency translation movements, and currency translation impacts are shown independently.
Non-GAAPFinancial Measures
We use certain financial measures that are not compliant with U.S. GAAP (“Non-GAAP financial measures”), including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. In this discussion and analysis, we present certain Non-GAAP financial measures, define and explain these measures and provide reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Resultsof Operations
Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between our functional currency (GBP) and our reporting currency (USD). During the periods ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the average GBP:USD rates were for the twelve-month period 1.32 and 1.28, respectively.
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations has been organized in the following manner:
| ● | a<br> discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared<br> to the same period in 2024; and |
|---|---|
| ● | a<br> discussion and analysis of the results of operations for each of the Company’s segments (Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive<br> and Leisure) for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, including key performance<br> indicator (“KPI”) analysis. |
In the discussion and analysis below, certain data may vary from the amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements due to rounding.
For all reported variances, refer to the overall company and segment tables shown below. All variances discussed in the overall company and segment results are on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, which excludes the impact of any changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

KeyEvents
In the Gaming segment, during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, we completed the installation of the order placed in 2024 for 5,000 new Vantage® terminals to William Hill venues. In the Greek market 4,000 new VLT terminals were delivered to OPAP completing the order placed in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the Canadian market, 58 new Valor CS terminals were ordered and delivered to Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (“AGLC”). 1,304 machines were sold in the UK market to customers including Bob Rudd, Essex Leisure, Regal Ltd and other independent market customers.
In the second quarter of the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Virtual Sports segment launched a new partnership with global aggregation leader Aristocrat Interactive. Through this collaboration Inspired has gone live with the Virginia Lottery, delivering a comprehensive suite of scheduled Virtual Sports games under the Inspired V-Lottery™ brand. Inspired also extended its long-term partnership with William Hill in the third quarter of the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, introducing an enhanced Virtual Sports experience and upgraded retail rollout. As part of the contract extension, Inspired will deliver a comprehensive upgrade to William Hill’s Virtual Sports offering across its UK retail estate.
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, the total number of customers in the Interactive segment increased by 32 customers, inclusive of attrition among several smaller customers. In addition, Inspired also expanded its Hybrid Dealer content footprint in North America through the Caesars Palace Wheel of Wins rollout to Michigan and Ontario, following its successful launch in New Jersey.
In the Leisure segment, during the second half of the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, Inspired transitioned a number of pub customers to a new operating model by refocusing on content and machine supply. On November 7, 2025 Inspired completed the sale of its UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets (“Genda Playnation Entertainment Ltd”, previously registered as “Indigo Newco Limited”). As part of the agreement, Inspired will provide gaming and content platform services, on a recurring revenue basis to Genda Playnation Entertainment Ltd.
The Company further considered ASC 205-20 and whether or not the disposal represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. An assessment was made from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective and the Company concluded that the disposal did not represent a strategic shift. As such, the Company did not present the sale as discontinued operations.
While the business previously conducted by Indigo NewCo Limited (now Genda Playnation Entertainment Limited) and consisting of the UK B2C leisure business (holiday parks operations, the MSA Extra Operation the bowling centers, cinemas and other family entertainment center operations and the Pet Tags operation) represented as at September 30, 2025, approximately 17% of Group revenue and 8% of Group EBITDA, it generated zero free cashflow as a result of capital reinvestment. The business described was primarily associated with children’s amusement machines, which is contrary to the Company’s strategy of developing digital gaming for adults. Based on management’s conclusion that the sale of this business represents a non-core part of the Company’s strategy, in addition to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s use of the word “major” in ASC 205-20-45-1C suggesting a relatively high bar for a disposal to be considered a strategic shift on a quantitative basis, our analysis of both qualitative and quantitative factors determined that the sale did not meet the definition of a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the operations or financial results of the Company.
On June 9, 2025 Inspired announced the completion of a private placement by its subsidiary of £270.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Secured Notes”). In connection with the placement, certain of its subsidiaries also entered into a new £17.8 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which replaced its previous revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was undrawn at December 31, 2025.
On November 12, 2025, the Company entered into two interest swaps with Macquarie Bank Limited designed to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows on the current floating rate debt facilities. The swaps are effective from December 9, 2025, until maturity on December 9, 2027.
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, management identified the non-renewal of two significant customer contracts within the pub sector as a potential indicator of impairment for the All-Other Leisure asset group (comprised of Pubs, MSA and Bingo) within the Leisure segment under the long-lived asset guidance in U.S. GAAP. The two contracts collectively represented approximately 33% and 24% of the “All Other Leisure” asset groups total revenue and EBITDA during the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the identified triggering event, management performed a recoverability test for the affected asset group as of August 1, 2025. Based on this analysis, the undiscounted estimated future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the asset group; therefore, no impairment charge was recorded. Management will continue to monitor the segment’s performance and customer’s relationships for potential future indicators of impairment.
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, management identified the reduction in trading levels within the Virtual Sports reporting (as a potential indicator of impairment for the asset group under ASC 350). This was driven by materially lower volumes from a key customer and growth in Brazil not meeting forecast expectations, due to the introduction of a gaming tax in January 2025 which reduced the revenue levels and caused delay in market expansion. As a result of a triggering event, management performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Virtual Sports reporting unit as of December 1, 2025. Based on this analysis management concluded that the estimated fair value of the Virtual Sports reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, accordingly, no goodwill impairment was identified or recorded. Management will continue to monitor the segment’s performance for future potential indicators of impairment.
Key agreements signed in the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, include a five-year contract with Buzz Bingo, a five-year contract with MOTO and a five-year contract with Welcome Break all for the provision of gaming machines in the Leisure segment. Inspired also signed an extension to the Chisholm Bookmakers contract for four years, a new customer contract for JenningsBet for five years for the provision and installation of 591 Vantage terminals, and a new customer contract for Corbett Bookmakers for four years for the provision and installation of 148 flex terminals, all of which are in the Gaming segment.

Revenue(for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024)
Consolidated
Reported Revenue by Segment

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, revenue on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis decreased by $3.1 million, or 1% compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024.
For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, Gaming revenue declined by $2.2 million, Gaming product revenue declined by $13.5 million due to a decrease in the North America markets as product sales do not typically follow a linear year-over-year trend, partially offset by an increase in Gaming service revenue of $11.3 million predominantly due to the UK and mainland Europe markets. Virtual Sports revenue decreased by $9.9 million due to a decrease in Online revenue. Interactive revenue increased by $17.3 million, driven by revenue growth in the UK, mainland Europe and North America; and Leisure revenue decreased by $8.5 million as service revenue decreased by $7.8 million and product revenue decreased by $0.7 million. Decreases in Leisure are predominantly from Pubs (operator business model change), Extra MSA and Holiday Parks (sale of UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets).

Costof Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization
Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $8.6 million, or 9%, driven by a $6.3 million decrease in cost of product as a result of lower product sales, and a decrease in cost of service of $2.3 million predominantly driven by the Pubs operator business model change and sale of UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets.
Staff-relatedselling, general and administrative expenses
Staff-related selling, general and administrative expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased by $2.1 million, or 3% compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, predominantly related to performance based short term incentive expenses.
Non-staffrelated selling, general and administrative expenses
Non-Staff related selling, general and administrative expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, decreased by $2.6 million, or 5% compared with the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, mainly driven by a favorable realized gain on foreign currency movement, and reductions on facilities and storage from cost saving initiatives.
Stock-basedcompensation
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses of $6.7 million, compared to stock-based compensation expenses of $7.6 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. All expenses related to outstanding awards.
Depreciationand amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased by $6.5 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. This was predominantly driven by an increase in Gaming of $6.2 million mainly related to gaming machine additions.
Netoperating income
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, net operating income was $30.5 million, an decrease of $0.4 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. This was predominantly due to higher service revenue, lower cost of sales, offset by loss on sale of business.
Net(Loss)/Income
For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $17.0 million, compared to net income of $64.8 million in the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase of income tax expense of $74.1 million, as the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, included a reversal of the majority of the company’s valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, partially offset by the decrease in net operating income and increases in interest expense and income tax expense.
DeferredTax
The Company maintains a valuation allowance related to capital loss carryovers in the United Kingdom, state net operating losses unable to be utilized in the United States, and United States interest expected to be limited under Section 163(j).

SegmentResults (for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024)
Gaming
We generate revenue from our Gaming segment through the delivery of our gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, server-based content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades on a when and if available basis and content development. We receive rental fees for machines, typically in conjunction with long-term contracts, on both a participation and fixed fee basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and any relevant regulatory levies) from gaming terminals placed in our customers’ facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
Revenue growth for our Gaming business is principally driven by changes in (i) the number of operator customers we have, (ii) the number of Gaming machines in operation, (iii) the net win performance of the machines and (iv) the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

In the table above:
“End of Period Installed Base” is equal to the number of deployed Gaming terminals at the end of each period that have been placed on a participation or fixed rental basis. Gaming participation revenue, which comprises the majority of Gaming Service revenue, is directly related to the participation terminal installed base. This is the medium by which our customers generate revenue and distribute a revenue share to the Company. To the extent all other KPIs and certain other factors remain constant, the larger the installed base, the higher the Company’s revenue would be for a given period. Management gives careful consideration to this KPI in terms of driving growth across the segment. This does not include Service Only terminals.
Revenue is derived from the performance of the installed base as described by Gross and Net Win KPIs.
| 46 |
| --- |
If the End of Period Installed Base is materially different from the Average Installed Base (described below), we believe this gives an indication as to potential future performance. We believe the End of Period Installed Base is particularly useful for assessing new customers or markets, to indicate the progress being made with respect to entering new territories or jurisdictions.
“Total Gaming - Average Installed Base” is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals during the period consisting of both participation terminals and fixed rental terminals. Therefore, it is more closely aligned to revenue in the period. We believe this measure is particularly useful for assessing existing customers or markets to provide comparisons of historical size and performance. This does not include Service Only terminals.
“Participation
- Average Installed Base” is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals that generated revenue on a participation basis.
“Fixed Rental - Average Installed Base” is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals that generated revenue on a fixed rental basis.
“Service Only - Average Installed Base” is the average number of terminals that generated revenue on a Service only basis.
“Customer Gross Win per unit per day” is a KPI used by our management to (i) assess impact on the Company’s revenue, (ii) determine changes in the performance of the overall market and (iii) evaluate the impact of regulatory change and our new content releases on our customers. Customer Gross Win per unit per day is the average per unit cash generated across all Gaming terminals in which the Company takes a participation revenue share across all territories in the period, defined as the difference between the amounts staked less winnings to players divided by the Average Installed Base in the period, then divided by the number of days in the period.
Gaming revenue accrued in the period is derived from Customer Gross Win accrued in the period after deducting gaming taxes (defined as a regulatory levy paid by the Customer to government bodies) and applying the Company’s contractual revenue share percentage.
Our management believes Customer Gross Win measures are meaningful because they represent a view of customer operating performance that is unaffected by our revenue share percentage and allow management to (1) readily view operating trends, (2) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between customers and (3) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different markets in which we operate.
“Customer Net Win per unit per day” is Customer Gross Win per unit per day after giving effect to the deduction of gaming taxes.
“Inspired Blended Participation Rate” is the Company’s average revenue share percentage across all participation terminals where revenue is earned on a participation basis, weighted by Customer Net Win per unit per day.
“Inspired Fixed Rental Revenue per Gaming Machine per week” is the Company’s average fixed rental amount across all fixed rental terminals where revenue is generated on a fixed fee basis, per unit per week.
“Inspired Service Rental Revenue per Gaming Machine per week” is the Company’s average service rental amount across all service only rental terminals where revenue is generated on a service only fixed fee basis, per unit per week.
“Gaming Long term license amortization” is the upfront license fee per terminal which is typically spread over the life of the terminal.
Our overall Gaming revenue from terminals placed on a participation basis can therefore be calculated as the product of the Participation
- Average Installed Base, the Customer Net Win per unit per day, the number of days in the period, and the Inspired Blended Participation Rate, which is equal to “Participation Revenue”.
“Number of Machine sales” is the number of terminals sold during the period.
“Average selling price per terminal” is the total revenue in GBP of the Gaming terminals sold divided by the “number of Machine sales”.

All variances discussed in the Gaming results below are on a functional currency (at a constant rate) basis, which excludes the impact of any changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
GamingRevenue
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, Gaming revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 2% compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. This was driven by $13.5 million decrease in Product revenue, partially offset by an increase of $11.3 million increase in Service revenue.
The Product revenue decrease, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by North America, with the prior year containing higher volumes of hardware sales which tend to be more variable in nature.
The increase in Gaming Service revenue, during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by a $11.9 million increase from the UK markets. This was predominantly due to the William Hill Vantage® terminal deployment partially offset by declines in the rest of the world.
GamingOperating / Net Income
Net income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased by $2.8 million, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher service revenue and a decrease in cost of sales. Staff-related selling, general and administrative expenses reduced driven by the closure of the Bridgend manufacturing facility in 2025 partially offset by an increase in Depreciation and amortization relating to gaming machine additions.
VirtualSports
We generate revenue from our Virtual Sports segment through our on-premise licensing solution and hosting of our products. We primarily receive fees on a participation basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and other promotional costs and any relevant regulatory levies) from Virtual Sports content placed on our customers’ websites or in our customers’ facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
Revenue growth for our Virtual Sports segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the net win performance of the games and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

VirtualSports revenue
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased by $9.9 million, or 22% compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by regulation in the Brazilian market, introduction of new levies and lower revenue from a key customer.
VirtualSports net operating income
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, net operating income decreased by $11.9 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the decreases in revenues and increases in depreciation and amortization of $2.0 million.

Non-GAAPFinancial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial measures.
We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
EBITDAis defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.
AdjustedEBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments (see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table). Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension plans. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including but not limited to (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, impairments, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business (4) the costs of the restatement of previously issued financial statements.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.
FunctionalCurrency at Constant rate. Currency impacts discussed have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.
CurrencyMovement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis.
Reconciliations from net loss, as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below.

Netcash provided by operating activities
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, net cash inflow provided by operating activities was $52.0 million, compared to a $31.7 million inflow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, representing a $20.3 million increase in cash generation. The increase was driven primarily through the working capital position with favorable movements in accounts receivable due to timing of sales recognition with high levels at the end of 2024 collected in 2025.
Amortization of debt fees increased by $1.9 million, to $3.0 million, due to the refinancing of the business in June 2025.
Change in the fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense decreased by $0.9 million from $7.6 million to $6.7 million due to lower stock-based compensation expense. All expenses related to outstanding awards.
A loss on sale of business expense of $6.6 million was incurred in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 relating to the sale of the UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets.
| 60 |
| --- |
Depreciation and amortization increased by $9.4 million, to $57.1 million, with increases of $4.4 million in amortization of software development costs, $4.3 million in machine depreciation, $0.4 million in non-machine depreciation and $0.3 million in amortization of right of use assets.
Other net cash utilized by operating activities increased by $82.2 million to an outflow of $7.3 million. The relative movements between the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 resulted in favorable movements of $60.1 million in corporate tax and other current taxes, $46.8 million in accounts receivable and $3.4 million in inventory. The movement in corporate tax and other current taxes was due to the previous year including the reversal of the Company’s valuation allowance on their deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions as well as an inclusion for global low-taxed income. The movements in accounts receivable was largely due to timing of machine sales with the end of 2024 seeing high levels which were collected in 2025 and due to lower Leisure receivables following the sale of our holiday park business and associated leisure assets and the transitioning of a number of pub customer to a new operating model. These favorable movements were partly offset by unfavorable movements in prepayments and accrued income of $23.8 million and long-term liabilities of $3.5 million.
Netcash used in investing activities
Net cash utilized in investing activities increased by $0.4 million to $40.5 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Higher spend on plant, property and equipment, $18.7 million increase, which included the updating of machines in Greece, a $1.8 million increase in contract costs spending and $7.5 million of holiday park floats sold as part of the sale of the holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets were largely offset by the net proceeds from the sale of our holiday park business and associated leisure assets of $24.4 million, $1.3 million of cash received in escrow as part of the sale and the $1.9 million reduced spend on capital software.
Netcash used by financing activities
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, cash used by financing activities was net neutral. The refinancing of the business in June 2025 resulted in a net generation of cash of $8.2 million which was offset by a $7.8 million outflow relating to finance lease spend and a $0.4 million repurchase of company shares. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, net cash used by financing activities was $1.6 million all relating to finance lease spend.
FundingNeeds and Sources
To fund our obligations, historically we have relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional debt or the refinancing of existing debt. As of December 31, 2025, we had liquidity consisting of $43.3 million in cash, of which $1.3 million is restricted in escrow until November 2026, and a further $23.9 million of undrawn revolver facility. This compares to $29.3 million of cash as of December 31, 2024, with a further $6.3 million of revolver facilities undrawn. We had a working capital outflow of $7.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to a $89.5 million outflow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The level of our working capital surplus or deficit varies with the level of machine procurement we are undertaking and our capitalization as well as the seasonality evident in some of the businesses. In periods with minimal machine volumes and capital spend, our working capital is typically more stable. In periods where significant numbers of machines are being produced, the levels of inventory and creditors are typically higher and there is a natural timing difference between converting the stock into sellable or capitalized plant and settling payments to suppliers. These factors can result in significant working capital volatility. In periods of low activity, our working capital volatility is reduced. Working capital is reviewed and managed with the aim of ensuring that current liabilities are covered by the level of cash held and the expected level of short-term receipts.
Historically, some of our business operations require cash to be held within the machines. However with the sale of our holiday park business and certain associated leisure assets in November 2025, the operational float requirement is removed. As of December 31, 2025, none of our $43.3 million of cash were held as operational floats within the machines. At December 31, 2024, $2.9 million of our $29.3 million of cash were held as operational floats within the machines
Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and the ability to control and defer capital projects will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through April 2027.

DebtCovenants
On June 4, 2025, the group entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement with the facilities being issued on June 9, 2025. At the same time the group entered into a Senior Facilities Agreement. These facilities also became available on June 9, 2025 but remained undrawn. At this point, all previously existing debt and revolver facilities were fully repaid. Full details of the refinancing of the group and of the terms and conditions of the new debt facilities can be found in Note 13 Long Term and Other Debt.
Under the Note Purchase Agreement in place as of December 31, 2025, we are subject to covenant testing on the Senior Notes. The Notes Purchase Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.0x on the test date for the relevant periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, stepping down to 4.75x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the “Notes Financial Covenant”). The Notes Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as consolidated net income after adding back certain items including (without limitation) interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses and exceptional or non-recurring costs and losses and after adjusting for certain projected savings and synergies) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The Notes Purchase Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
The Senior Facilities Agreement also requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.50x on the test date for the relevant periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, stepping down to 5.25x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The SFA does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
Under the previous debt facilities, which operated up until the refinancing on June 4, 2025, we were not subject to covenant testing on the Senior Secured Notes. We were, however, subject to covenant testing at the level of Inspired Entertainment Inc., the ultimate holding company, on the previous RCF which required the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.0x on March 31, 2022, stepping down to 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Financial Covenant does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. These covenants have now been replaced by those of the new long term debt.
Covenant testing at December 31, 2025 showed covenant compliance with the current debt facilities in place.
Under the previous debt facilities, there were no covenant violations in the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Liensand Encumbrances
As of December 31, 2025, our Senior Notes were secured by the imposition of a fixed and floating charge in favor of the lender over all the assets of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
ShareRepurchases
On November 1, 2025 the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program permitting the repurchase, subject to repurchases being effected on or before November 30, 2028 of up to an aggregate amount of $25.0 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Since the authorization, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 56,604 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $0.4 million.
Previously, the Board of Directors had authorized that the Company may use up to $25.0 million to repurchase Inspired shares of common stock, subject to repurchases being effected on or before May 10, 2025. There were no repurchases in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 under this authorization. Under this authorization, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 1,193,118 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $12.0 million. This plan has now lapsed.
Total cumulative share repurchases under both share repurchase programs amount to an aggregate of 1,249,722 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $12.4 million.

Off-BalanceSheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
CriticalAccounting Estimates
The preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenue and expenses, and our disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors, including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry and current and expected economic conditions, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary. While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.
For a discussion of other recently issued accounting standards, and assessments as to their impacts on the Company, see Note 1 “Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.
Revenue
Application of GAAP related to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates. Specifically, complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. The Company often enters into contracts with customers that consist of a combination of services and products that are accounted for as one or more distinct performance obligations. Management applies judgment in evaluating the contractual terms and conditions that impact the identification of performance obligations and the pattern of revenue recognition. For these arrangements that contain multiple promises, judgement is also required to determine the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions, size of the customer, geography and other observable inputs or, as necessary, unobservable considerations such as historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry and our current or expected selling practices.
Revenue recognition is also impacted by our ability to estimate variable consideration, including, for example, estimates for income earned but unbilled prior to the reporting period end. We consider various factors when making these judgments, including a review of specific transactional data and contracted terms, information obtained subsequent to the reporting period end and historical experience. Evaluations are conducted each quarter to assess the adequacy of the estimates.
Other significant judgments include determining whether the Company is acting as the principal or the agent in a transaction.
The Company recognized service and product revenue of $278.6 million and $25.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s revenue recognition policy, which requires significant judgments and estimates, is fully described in Note 1 “Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.
Goodwill ImpairmentAssessment
Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. Performance of the qualitative goodwill assessment requires judgment in identifying and considering the significance of relevant key factors, events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of the reporting units. Such events and circumstances that we have considered include macroeconomic conditions, industry specific and market considerations, and reporting unit-specific factors such as overall actual and projected financial performance, among other factors. We also considered the results from the most recent date that a fair value measurement was performed as a part of a quantitative goodwill assessment and specifically the cushion between each reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit as a part of a quantitative goodwill assessment change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment, if any, for each reporting unit.
Long-lived Assetsand Finite-lived Intangible Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets with finite useful lives by comparing the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows that we expect the asset to generate if events or changes in circumstances indicate that these assets are not recoverable. If the asset group fails the recoverability test, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow approach where projections of future cash flows generated by those assets are discounted using an estimated discount rate. Significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and the relative risk of achieving those cash flows. We also make judgments about the remaining useful lives of intangible assets and other long-lived assets that have finite lives. While we believe our estimates of future operating results and projected cash flows are reasonable, any significant adverse changes in key assumptions (i.e., adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset or asset group is being used or expectation that, more likely than not, an asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its useful life) or adverse changes in economic and market conditions may cause a change in our evaluation of recoverability or our estimation of fair value and could result in an impairment charge that could be material to our financial statements. Any impairment loss shall be allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset of the group shall not reduce the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value.
Software Development Costs
The Company must apply judgement in determining the amount of software development costs that should be capitalized. Specifically, we must evaluate, on a project-by-project basis, whether the resultant product or platform will be completed and generate ongoing economic benefits, principally through revenue from our customers, which is subject to uncertainties.
Once the software is substantially complete or available for general release, capitalized internal-use and external-use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the software, which ranges from two to five years. There is judgement involved in estimating the useful life of developed software and the two-to-five-year period was determined based on factors such as the continuous development in the technology, obsolescence, and anticipated life of the service offering before significant upgrades. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on a recurring basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
InterestRate Risk
Following the Company’s refinancing of its debt in June 2025, the external borrowings of £270.0 million ($363.2 million) are provided at a rate per annum equal to SONIA plus a margin (based on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 5.50% to 6.00% per annum fixed rate. Therefore, movements in rates such as SONIA will impact on the current borrowings with increases in SONIA leading to a higher interest charge.
As at December 30, 2025, we had £270.0 million ($363.2 million) of senior note debt subject to a floating rate interest charge that can vary with the SONIA rate. If the floating interest rates increased by 1%, the additional interest charge would have been approximately $2.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. If the floating interest rates increased by 5%, the additional interest charge would have been approximately $10.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
Up until the refinancing of the debt in June 2025, the previous external borrowings were provided at a fixed rate. Therefore, movements in rates such as SONIA did not impact on the borrowings and the only fluctuation that was reported was solely caused by movements in the exchange rates between the Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency.
ForeignCurrency Exchange Rate Risk
Our operations are conducted in various countries around the world, and we receive revenue and pay expenses from these operations in a number of different currencies. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in (i) currencies other than GBP, which is our functional currency, or (ii) the functional currencies of our subsidiaries, which is not necessarily GBP. To estimate our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we identify material Euro and US Dollar trading and balance sheet amounts and recalculate the result using a 10% movement in the GBP:US Dollar exchange rate. For the trading figures the 10% movement is based on the average exchange rate throughout the reported period and for the balance sheet figures the 10% movement is based on the exchange rate used at December 31, 2025.
Excluding intercompany balances, our Euro and US Dollar functional currency net assets total approximately $29.4 million and $9.8 million respectively. We use a sensitivity analysis model to measure the impact of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the US Dollar. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of December 31, 2025, would result in favorable translation adjustments of approximately $2.5 million and $1.0 million respectively, recorded in other comprehensive loss.
Included within our trading results are earnings outside of our functional currency. Retained gains from Euro based entities earned in Euros and retained losses from USD based entities earned in US Dollars in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were €16.1 million and $11.4 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of December 31, 2025, would result in translation adjustments of approximately $1.7 million favorable and $1.0 million unfavorable, respectively, recorded in trading operations.
The majority of the Company’s trading is in GBP, the functional currency, although the reporting currency of the Company is the US Dollar. As such, changes in the GBP:USD exchange rate have an effect on the Company’s results. A 10% weakening of GBP against the US Dollar would change the trading operational results favorably by approximately $2.3 million and would result in unfavorable translation adjustments of approximately $5.7 million, recorded in other comprehensive loss.
For further information regarding the external borrowings, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Long Term and Other Debt”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENTREGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinionon the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inspired Entertainment, Inc, and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audit results, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basisfor Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
CriticalAudit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
RevenueRecognition
As described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenues are generated through four segments (Gaming, Virtual, Interactive, and Leisure). Each of the four segments provides different offerings to their customers. Examples include: (a) Gaming revenue includes delivery of gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, server-based content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades, and content development; (b) Virtual revenue includes packaged products and services in either an on-premise solution or a hosted solution; (c) Interactive revenue is generated from various game content made available via third party aggregation platforms integrated with the Company’s remote gaming server or direct to operators on the Company’s remote gaming servers platform, and services such as customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades; and (d) Leisure revenue is generated by supplying and operating gaming terminals and amusement machines within arcades, motorway service areas, and pubs, providing managed service solutions. The Company recognized revenue of $304.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Most of the Company’s revenue contracts with customers include multiple promises, the nature of which can vary for each segment and contract. The Company is required to identify whether a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. The evaluation of whether promises are both capable of being distinct in the context of a contract (and thus constitute performance obligations) can require significant judgment and could change the amount of revenue recognized in a given period.
We identified auditing the Company’s identification of the performance obligations as a critical audit matter because there is significant judgment exercised by management when evaluating their customer contracts, which may include several promised goods and services, as well as identifying the correct transaction price, all of which will impact the amount of revenue recognized in a given period. This required a high degree of auditor judgment in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence.
The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
| ● | We<br> obtained an understanding of management’s process for customer contracts in accordance with<br> the applicable accounting standards. |
|---|---|
| ● | We<br> evaluated the terms and considerations of the customer contracts on a sample basis. |
| ● | We<br> identified the promised goods and services within the customer contracts to ensure that these<br> promised goods and services were consistent with the standard offering by the Company. |
| ● | We<br> assessed the transaction price per contract to ensure the pricing structure was consistent<br> with all other contracts. |
| ● | We<br> tested certain contracts to ensure the lease and non-lease components of the contract are<br> recognized under the applicable accounting standards. |

Softwaredevelopment costs
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company develops software for internal use and capitalizes the software development costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs are capitalized when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The Company will stop capitalizing these costs when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, including the completion of all significant testing. Costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be two to five years.
Additionally, the Company develops software for external use and capitalizes the software development costs incurred once technological feasibility has been reached. Technological feasibility is achieved when the entity has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. The Company will stop capitalizing these costs on the date that the software is available for general release to the customers. Costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be two to five years.
The Company capitalized $12.1 million of software development costs, with the majority of the costs being employee wages and the remaining as external vendor costs, during the year ended December 31, 2025. Total capitalized software development costs are $22.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
We identified software development costs as a critical audit matter because of the judgment exercised by management in determining whether costs incurred on software development projects have met the capitalization criteria, which in turn, required a higher degree of auditor judgment in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence.
The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter include:
| ● | We<br> obtained an understanding of management’s process for evaluating software development costs<br> and the nature of software development costs capitalized. |
|---|---|
| ● | We<br> inspected underlying documentation for a sample of projects to evaluate whether the costs<br> were capitalizable under the applicable accounting standards. |
| ● | We<br> tested individual payroll and non payroll related costs, on a sample basis, and assessed<br> whether such costs were properly capitalized based upon the nature and stage of work performed<br> and whether the requisite capitalization criteria were met. |
| ● | We<br> conducted corroborative interviews with Company personnel involved in software development<br> regarding the nature and functionality of costs incurred related to capitalized software<br> projects. |

1.Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
CompanyDescription and Nature of Operations
Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”, “Inspired”, “we” or “us”) is a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform and other products and services to licensed online and land-based lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, on a business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our customers operating digital channels, on aggregator platforms, and in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls and motorway service areas for our customers operating land-based venues.
ManagementLiquidity Plans
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash on hand, excluding restricted cash, was $42.0 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to cash and unrestricted cash of $43.9 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $17.0 million and net income of $64.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Net loss/income includes non-cash stock-based compensation of $6.7 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Historically,
the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations amounted to $52.0 million and $31.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through March 2027.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Basisof Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principlesof Consolidation
All monetary values set forth in these consolidated financial statements are in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise stated herein. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
ForeignCurrency Translation
For
most of our operations, the British pound (“GBP”) is our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the USD. We also have operations where the local currency is the functional currency, including our operations in mainland Europe and North America. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange, equity is translated at historical rates of exchange and results of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Aggregate foreign currency losses included in net income amounted to $0.1 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Useof Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to the revenue recognition for contracts involving software and non-software elements, allowance for credit losses, inventory reserve for net realizable value, currency swaps, goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, valuation allowances on deferred taxes, pension liability, commitments and contingencies and litigation, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We regularly evaluate these significant factors and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cashand Restricted Cash
We deposit cash with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held outside of the U.S.
Restricted cash consists of escrowed funds from the sale of UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets. The funds are restricted for a period of 12 months from the sale completion date and therefore not available for general corporate purposes until November 2026. In the absence of any claims against the standard warranties provided as part of merger & acquisition transactions, the restriction is time-based only and will lapse automatically upon expiration of the escrow period.
AccountsReceivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our standard credit terms are net 30 to 60 days.
Expected credit losses are estimated using the Aging Schedule method and are determined on the basis of the amount of time that a receivable has remained outstanding.
In estimating expected credit losses, management considers all available relevant information, including details about past events, current conditions, asset-specific risk characteristics and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Historical credit loss data is utilized as the basis of the estimation. This is then adjusted to take account of conditions that may have existed within the historical data which now differ from current expectations, and to recognize differences in asset-specific risk characteristics. When assessing conditions over the contractual life of the asset, management will utilize historical credit loss experience for the period beyond which it is possible to make reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Trade receivables are pooled by segment and the probability of default of each pool is assessed and evaluated.
Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Under
certain contracts, the timing of our invoices does not coincide with revenue recognized under the contract. We have unbilled accounts receivable which represent revenue recorded in excess of amounts invoiced under the contract and generally become billable at contractually specified dates. These amounts consist primarily of revenue from our share of net winnings earned on a daily basis where the billing period does not fall on the last day of the period. We had $30.2 million and $26.0 million of unbilled accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of gaming terminals and related parts and other component parts. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in-first-out method. We determine the lower of cost or net realizable value of our inventory based on estimates of potentially excess and obsolete inventories after considering historical and forecasted demand and average selling prices. Demand for gaming terminals and parts inventory is also subject to technological obsolescence. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Propertyand Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and when placed into service, depreciated and amortized to their residual values using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Schedule of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives
| Leasehold<br> property | Shorter<br> of the useful life or the life of the lease |
|---|---|
| Gaming<br> and amusement terminals | 2<br> – 7 years |
| Plant<br> and machinery and fixtures and fittings | 3<br> – 10 years |
| Computer<br> equipment | 3<br> – 10 years |
Our policy is to periodically review the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets. We also assess the recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset (or asset groups) may not be recoverable.
Where operating leases include an obligation for repairs and dilapidations costs associated with the retirement of the right-of-use asset, amounts are capitalized at the point at which a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized.
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated depreciation are written off and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

SoftwareDevelopment and Research and Development Costs
Research
and development costs, which primarily consist of employee compensation costs and exclude costs relating to non-project time, leave and absence, are expensed as incurred, except for software product development costs that are eligible for capitalization, as described below. Total research and development costs amounted to $19.4 million and $22.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Research and development costs amounting to $8.4 million and $7.8 million were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, amounts relating to Costs of obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, net, of $5.5 million and $4.2 million were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expensed $5.5 million and $10.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively as they related to maintenance, research or support costs. Employee related costs associated with these activities are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
We capitalize certain eligible costs incurred to develop internal-use software as well as external use software to be used in the products we sell, lease or market to customers. We account for costs incurred to develop internal use software, including software developed to deliver our cloud-based offerings to customers, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal Use Software. Consequently, certain direct costs incurred during the application development stages are capitalized while all other related costs are expensed as incurred. Once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, we amortize the capitalized internal use software costs over their estimated economic useful life, which ranges from two to five years. Amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
We purchase, license and incur costs to develop external use software to be used in the products we sell, lease or license to customers. Such costs are capitalized under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Costs incurred in developing such software are expensed when incurred as research and development costs until technological feasibility has been established, after which costs are capitalized up to the date the software is available for general release to customers. We capitalize the payments made for software that we purchase or license for use in our products that have previously met the technological feasibility criteria prior to our purchase or license. Once available for general release, capitalized external use software development costs are amortized over the estimated economic life, which ranges from two to four years. Amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Goodwilland Other Acquired Intangible Assets
Our principal acquired intangible assets relate to goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and intellectual property licenses. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Trademarks and customer relationships were originally recorded at their fair values in connection with business combinations. Intellectual property licenses are recorded at cost related to specific contracts.
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over eighteen months to thirteen years to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment. Factors considered when assigning useful lives include legal, regulatory and contractual provisions, product obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors.
Impairmentof Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
We test for goodwill impairment at least annually as of December 1, and whenever other facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For goodwill impairment evaluations, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine if goodwill is may be impaired. If it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. Goodwill is carried, and therefore tested, at the reporting unit level. As of December 31, 2025 we have five reporting units, Virtual Sports, Interactive, Leisure, and two reporting units within our Gaming segment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the amount of the impairment loss, if any, will be measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount and would be charged to operations as an impairment loss.
As of December 1, 2025 we determined that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Virtual Sports reporting unit was less than its carrying value. We carried out a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis and determined that the fair value of the Virtual Sports reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. As a result, it was concluded that there was no impairment of the Virtual Sports goodwill. It was not considered to be more-likely-than-not that the fair value of all other reporting units was less than their carrying values as of December 1, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 management determined there were no indicators of impairment and concluded that no impairment was required at any of these dates.
We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events arise or circumstances change that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) to the expected net future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by that asset (or asset group) or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining whether the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through expected net future undiscounted cash flows. The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 management determined there were no indicators of impairment and concluded that no impairment was required at any of these dates. Refer to Note 8, “Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for more information.

DeferredRevenue and Deferred Cost of Sales
Deferred revenue arises from the timing differences between the shipment or installation of gaming terminals and systems products and the satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy, as well as prepayment of contracts which are recognized ratably over a service period, such as maintenance or licensing fees. Deferred cost of sales, recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets, consists of the direct costs associated with the manufacture of gaming equipment and systems products for which revenue has been deferred. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue in current liabilities. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion.
DebtIssuance Costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s debt are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt. The Company presents debt issuance costs as a reduction from the carrying amount of debt. Only costs that are wholly attributable to obtaining the related debt finance are treated as debt issuance costs. Any other costs are expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as part of Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses.
IndirectTaxes
The Company is subject to indirect taxes in some locations. The amount of indirect tax liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods and services sold less indirect tax paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices. Indirect tax is collected from customers by the Company on behalf of the tax authorities and is therefore not charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
DerivativeFinancial Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company reviews any freestanding derivative financial instruments at each balance sheet date and classifies them on the consolidated balance sheet as:
| a) | Equity<br> if they (i) require physical settlement (full or net-share settlement), or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement<br> or physical settlement in its own shares (full or net shares), or |
|---|---|
| b) | Assets<br> or liabilities if they (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs<br> and if that event is outside the Company’s control), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement<br> in shares (full physical settlement or net-share settlement). |

OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
At each reporting date, the Company determines whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, with assets and liabilities presented on a gross basis with the exception of where they are with the same counterparty in which case they are offset and presented on a net basis. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Details of the Company’s interest rate swap are given in note 14.
From time to time we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk associated with cash payments required to be made in non-functional currencies or to mitigate the risk associated with cash to be received in non-functional currencies. At December 31, 2025, there are no foreign currency forward contracts in place.
RevenueRecognition
The Company evaluates the recognition of revenue and rental income based on the criteria set forth in ASC 606 or ASC 842, as appropriate. Revenue is recognized net of rebates and discounts when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, and the customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
| 1. | identify<br> the contracts with a customer; |
|---|---|
| 2. | identify<br> the performance obligations within the contract, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract and capable of<br> being distinct; |

| 3. | determine<br> the transaction price; |
|---|---|
| 4. | allocate<br> the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| 5. | recognize<br> revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies each performance obligation. |
Step1 – Identify the contract
The Company identifies contracts with its customers when all parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, when each party’s rights and the payment terms regarding the goods or services to be transferred can be identified. The contract must also have commercial substance, and it must be probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.
Contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer or related parties of the customer are accounted for as one contract if any of the following criteria are met:
| a. | Contracts<br> were negotiated as a single commercial package (including whether a contract would be loss-making without taking into account the<br> consideration received under another contract) |
|---|---|
| b. | Consideration<br> in one contract depends on the other contract |
| c. | Goods<br> or services (or some of the goods or services) are a single performance obligation. |
Step2 – Identify performance obligations
Performance obligations are identified by considering whether a good or service is distinct. The Company considers a good or service to be distinct only when the customer can benefit from it either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available, and when the promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
The Company applies the series guidance to its performance obligations where the following criteria apply:
| a. | Each<br> distinct good or service in the series meets the criteria to be a performance obligation satisfied over time. |
|---|---|
| b. | The<br> same method would be used to measure progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct<br> good or service in the series to the customer. |
Step3 – Determine the transaction price
The Company considers all amounts to which it has rights in exchange for the goods or services transferred in determining the transaction price. This includes fixed and variable consideration. If the consideration promised by a customer includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount to which we expect to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method.
In the case where the variable consideration is in the form of usage based fees, the Company evaluates the royalties to determine whether they qualify for the sales and usage-based royalty exception, as discussed under Step 5.
The Company also considers the impact of any liquidated damages clauses or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the client or incentive payments/bonuses from the customer upon achieving certain agreed-upon metrics. Incentive payments are accounted for as variable considerations when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Additionally, customers with volume discounts in contracts with functional IP are not considered to have material rights as royalty revenue is recognized when usage occurs.
Where variable considerations relate to a performance obligation determined to be a series, variable consideration is not estimated upfront in accordance with the exception allowed by ASC 606.
The Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include non-cash consideration.
In determining the transaction price, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the payment terms are not standard and the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract provide the customer or the Company with a significant benefit of financing, in which case the contract contains a significant financing component. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company elected to not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. Invoices are generally issued as control transfers and/or as services are rendered. Our standard payment terms dictate that payment is due upon receipt of invoice, payable within 30 to 60 days.
Sales taxes and all other items of a similar nature are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price and shipping and handling activities are treated as a fulfillment of our promise to transfer the goods, hence, included in cost of sales.

OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Step4 – Allocate the transaction price
The Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices of the goods or services being provided. Where a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction price in proportion to those standalone selling prices. Where possible, the Company uses the price charged for the good or service to other customers in similar circumstances as evidence of a standalone selling price. Where this is not possible, the standalone selling price is estimated by experienced management using the best available judgement considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, competitor actions, internal costs, profit objectives, and pricing practices.
With respect to performance obligations that are considered to be a series, where appropriate and where the required criteria are met, variable consideration is allocated entirely to a distinct good or service that is part of a series.
Step5 – Recognize revenue
The Company recognizes revenue over time for performance obligations that meet one of the following criteria:
| a. | The<br> customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs. |
|---|---|
| b. | The<br> Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. |
| c. | The<br> Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and the Company has an enforceable right<br> to payment for performance completed to date. |
Revenue for the Company’s remaining performance obligations that do not meet one of the above criteria is recognized at the point at which the customer obtains control of the good or service.
The Company assesses usage-based royalties it receives as consideration in contracts that predominantly relate to licenses of its intellectual property to determine if such royalties constitute a sales- or usage-based royalty, according to ASC 606-10-55-65, in which case the usage-based royalties are recognized as revenue when the usage occurs, and is reported by the licensee.
Actingas a Principal or an Agent
The Company evaluates arrangements where we may be acting as either principal or agent. We may include: subcontractor services, third-party vendor services, products or Machine Gaming Duty in certain arrangements. In these arrangements, revenue from sales are recorded gross when we are the principal for the transaction and net of our costs when we are acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor. To determine whether we are principal or agent, we consider whether we obtain control of the services or products before they are transferred to the customer. In making this evaluation, several factors are considered, most notably whether we have primary responsibility for fulfillment to the end customer, as well as inventory risk and pricing discretion.
SegmentRevenue
The Company has detailed evaluation of segment specific revenue recognition requirements under ASC 606 or ASC 842, as appropriate.
GamingRevenue
Gaming contracts typically include multiple performance obligations such as delivery of our gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, server-based content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades on a when-and-if available basis and content development. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of a fixed price per terminal billed upfront and a usage based fee in the form of percentage of net winnings, billed in arrears (usually monthly).
Transaction price is allocated to all performance obligations within a contract on the basis of their standalone selling prices. Terminal revenue is recognized at the point in time in accordance with contractual terms of each arrangement, but predominantly upon transfer of physical possession of the terminal or the lapse of customer acceptance provisions. Services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades and content development are considered stand-ready obligations; therefore, control transfers and revenue is recognized over time over the term of the service period. As the license of our intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates, revenue is recognized in the period the sale or usage occurs and is reported by the licensee.
The Company also enters into arrangements that provide the customer with the right to use the terminals, wherein the Company operates as both a lessor and a content and service provider. ASC 842 provides a practical expedient that permits lessors to aggregate non-lease components (server-based content, terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades and content development) and the associated lease components (terminals) if certain conditions are met and account for the combined unit of accounting under either ASC 606 or ASC 842, based on the predominant characteristic in the arrangement. In contracts where we provide content and services that are identified as non-lease components as well as underlying assets that are identified as lease components and the lease is an operating lease, the content and service provided to the customer represents the most critical element of the arrangement. The Company has elected to combine the non-lease component and the lease component and account for the entire arrangement under ASC 606 based on the consideration that the content and service offering is the predominant and critical element of the contract.

VirtualSports Revenue
In Virtual Sports, the Company packages products and services in two ways:
| ● | An<br> on-premise solution which consists of a complex software and networking package delivered to retail betting outlets that may install<br> and run the solution in their own environment without connection to Inspired’s platform; and |
|---|---|
| ● | A<br> hosted solution capable of fulfilling the product delivery needs of the Company’s customers which includes the proprietary<br> Virtual Plug and Play end to end online and mobile turnkey solutions and a cloud-based solution that requires an XML sportsbook integration<br> that is fully hosted and operated by Inspired. |
For the on-premise solution, contracts typically include multiple performance obligations such as delivery of the software license, games and the content in addition to certain services such as software maintenance, support, updates, upgrades on a when-and-if available basis and content development. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations is a royalty that typically takes the form of a percentage of net winnings billed in arrears (usually monthly). As the license of intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates, the sales- and usage-based royalty is recognized in the period the sale or usage occurs and is reported by the licensee. Services such as software maintenance, support, updates, upgrades on a when-and-if available basis and content development are considered stand-ready obligations; therefore, control transfers and revenue is recognized over time over the term of the service period.
Occasionally, customer arrangements also may include licenses for which the Company bills an upfront fixed fee. Revenue from such licenses is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains the right to use the license. Upfront fees are normally billed upon signing of the relevant agreement, and become due and payable at set times thereafter.
The Company also enters into arrangements to develop bespoke games on a fixed fee basis. The license to bespoke games is recognized at a point in time the customer obtains the right to use the license or when acceptance is obtained, in instances where acceptance is required. The Company has no ongoing service obligations subsequent to customer acceptance of the bespoke game, and they meet the criteria to be considered distinct. Payment for bespoke games is typically due within a number of days after delivery.
For the hosted solution, the Company provides daily access to the gaming platform as well as a stand ready obligation to deliver customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. Such arrangements are accounted for as a single performance obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). Consideration with respect to these arrangements typically takes the form of usage based fees (percentage of net winnings) which is recognized as usage is incurred. These fees are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice.

Interactive revenue is generated from various games content made available via third party aggregation platforms integrated with Inspired’s remote gaming server or direct to operators on the Company’s remote gaming servers platform, and services such as customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. The Company provides daily access to these platforms as well as a stand ready obligation to deliver customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades, as such arrangements are accounted for as a single performance obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). When required, revenue is estimated based upon the prior period averages. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of usage based fees (percentage of net win) which is recognized as usage is incurred. These fees are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice. Revenue from aggregators who function as an agent is recognized on a net basis while revenue from operators where the Company is the principal is recognized on a gross basis.
LeisureRevenue
Up to November 6, 2025 and the sale of our UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets, the Company jointly operated arcades within holiday resorts with the resort owners. The Company also wholly operates a number of gaming arcades within certain motorway service stations. The Leisure segment contract typically includes one stand-ready performance obligation to provide managed services to pubs, holiday resorts and amusement arcades, both standalone and within motorway service stations. Subsequent to the sale of our UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets, this reduced to only pubs, bingo and motorway service stations. Managed service is an end-to-end management solution to provide a comprehensive range of gaming machine terminals, amusement machine terminals, and service of operating amusements over a term, as well as service obligations related to terminal repairs, content and maintenance, cash collections, personnel and other services. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of usage-based fees (percentage of net win) which is recognized as usage is incurred, with adjustments to account for the movement of income uncollected in the specific period. These fees are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice.
The Company also provides terminal maintenance and spares management services to third parties, including customers. Consideration with respect to this stand-ready performance obligation takes the form of either variable fees based on number of machines being serviced during a period or fixed fees per time period. These fees are billed in arrears and typically settled within 30 days. Revenue is recognized over time over the term of the service period.
Coststo Obtain or Fulfill a Contract
The Company capitalizes certain contract acquisition costs that are incremental to obtaining a contract with a customer, to the extent that such costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin. Capitalized contract acquisition costs primarily consist of certain sales commissions programs paid to internal sales personnel and external advisors.
The Company also capitalizes certain costs to fulfill a contract with a customer when the costs relate directly to the contract, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy a future performance obligation under the contract and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. These costs primarily consist of employee-related costs for time incurred on software development projects associated with customer contracts.
Capitalized contract acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected period of benefit which ranges from 0 to 4 years based on the contract term and pattern of transfer of the underlying goods and/or services being provided to the customer.
Capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers are included in Costs of obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Disaggregationof revenue
Information on disaggregation of revenue is included in Note 27, “Segment Reporting and Geographic Information.”
Shippingand Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs for products sales and terminals related to subscription services are included in cost of sales for all periods presented.
Share-BasedPayment Arrangements
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock units that have time and performance vesting conditions, restricted stock units that have market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
The Company has elected to recognize stock-based compensation cost using the graded vesting attribution method for each separately vesting tranche of the award from the grant date to the date that each tranche vests over the requisite service period for the restricted stock units. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For awards that vest over time, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited.
Subsequent modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. The incremental cost is charged over the estimated service derived period.
IncomeTaxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Our provision for income taxes is principally based on current period income (loss), changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in estimates with regard to uncertain tax positions. We estimate current tax expense and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the period in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our total deferred tax assets are principally comprised of depreciation and net operating loss carry forwards.
Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. In assessing the realizability of these deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Management makes this assessment on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis considering the historical trend of taxable losses, projected future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities.
We evaluate income tax uncertainties, assess the probability of the ultimate settlement with the applicable taxing authority and records an amount based on that assessment. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.
Comprehensive(Loss) Income
We include and separately classify in comprehensive (loss) income unrealized gains and losses arising from foreign currency translation adjustments and from hedging instruments, gains or losses associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits, prior service costs or credits associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits and transition assets or obligations associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits.

Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. Once it is determined that an arrangement is, or contains, a lease, that determination should only be reassessed if the legal arrangement is modified. Changes to assumptions such as market-based factors do not trigger a reassessment. Determining whether a contract contains a lease requires judgement. In general, arrangements are considered to be a lease when all of the following apply:
| ● | it<br> conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration; |
|---|---|
| ● | we<br> have substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and |
| ● | we<br> can direct the use of the identified asset. |
The terms of a lease arrangement determine how a lease is classified and the resulting income statement recognition. When the terms of a lease effectively transfer control of the underlying asset, the lease represents an in substance financed purchase (sale) of an asset and the lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and a sales-type lease by the lessor. When a lease does not effectively transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, but the lessor obtains a guarantee for the value of the asset from a third party, the lessor would classify a lease as a direct financing lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Where a lease contains more than one component, the consideration in the contract is allocated on a relative standalone price basis to the separate lease components and the non-lease components.
Leases– the Company as lessee
Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the date that we adopted Topic 842, or the commencement date, if later, in determining the present value of future payments. The lease ROU asset includes any lease payment made and initial direct costs incurred. Our operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

The lease expense for minimum operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized straight-line over their useful life where the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset and the end of the lease term where ownership is not transferred. Interest on finance leases is recognized as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability.
We have operating lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company did not make the election to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single component and considers the non-lease components as a separate unit of account.
The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term operating leases. We recognize the lease payments for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Leases– the Company as lessor
The Company’s lease arrangements are a mixture of sales-type leases and operating leases.
Sales-type lease receivables are recognized based on the net investment in the lease, at the present value of future minimum lease payments receivable over the lease term, plus any guaranteed residual value of the underlying asset, at the commencement date.
The discount rate used in determining the present value of the future minimum lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease. This is calculated using the fair value of the underlying asset and the present value of any unguaranteed residual value.
The underlying asset is derecognized at the point of inception and a selling profit is recognized at lease commencement. Subsequent interest income is recognized over the term of the lease, at an amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the net investment in the lease.
For operating leases, we continue to recognize the underlying asset. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

RecentlyIssued Accounting Standards
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. The guidance will be effective on the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective. The amendments in the Update should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1) Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)–(e). 2) Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3) Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4) Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, as follows:
| 1. | Practical<br> expedient. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect<br> a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the<br> asset. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Accounting<br> policy election. An entity other than a public business entity that elects the practical expedient is permitted to make an accounting<br> policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses. |
The guidance should be adopted prospectively and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We will be adopting the practical expedient as of January 1, 2026, and the adoption of ASU 2025-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 changes the cost capitalization threshold by:
| 1. | eliminating<br> accounting consideration of software project development stages; cost capitalization would begin when (1) management has authorized<br> and committed to funding the project and (2) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software used to<br> perform its intended function (the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold); and |
|---|---|
| 2. | enhancing<br> the guidance around the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold (given its new prominence) and providing new examples in Subtopic<br> 350-40 to illustrate its application. |

ASU 2025-06 also modifies the website development costs guidance by eliminating Subtopic 350-50 and relocating any remaining relevant guidance into Subtopic 350-40 and adding a new example. The guidance can be adopted retrospectively, prospectively or on a modified prospective basis and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Hedge Accounting Improvements” (“ASU 2025-09”). Consistent with the original objective of Update 2017-12, the objective of ASU 2025-09 is to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. Five issues are addressed in ASU 2025-09 and are intended to better reflect those strategies in financial reporting by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions. The five issues are as follows:
| 1. | Similar<br> Risk Assessment for Cash Flow Hedges |
|---|---|
| 2. | Hedging<br> Forecasted Interest Payments on Choose-Your-Rate Debt Instruments |
| 3. | Cash<br> Flow Hedges of Nonfinancial Forecasted Transactions |
| 4. | Net<br> Written Options as Hedging Instruments |
| 5. | Foreign-Currency-Denominated<br> Debt Instrument as Hedging Instrument and Hedged Item (Dual Hedge) |
ASU 2025-09 applies to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with Topic 815 and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance, however, the adoption of ASU 2025-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments in ASU 2025-11 clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The amendments result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. In developing the list of disclosures required by other Topics, the FASB focused on identifying the interim disclosures that are currently required under GAAP. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The intent of the disclosure principle, which is modeled after a previous SEC disclosure requirement, is to help entities determine whether disclosures not specified in Topic 270 should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments also clarify the applicability of Topic 270, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The FASB expects that these clarifications will enhance consistency in interim reporting for all entities. The amendments are effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2025-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, “Accounting Standards Update Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2025-12”). The FASB has a standing project to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and to make other incremental improvements to generally accepted accounting principles. This evergreen project facilitates Codification updates for a broad range of Topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. The resulting amendments are collectively referred to as Codification improvements. The FASB decided that the types of issues that it will consider through this project are improvements that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or result in significant costs to most entities. Thirty-three issues are addressed in ASU 2025-12 and represent changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2025-12 are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of ASU 2025-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

NewlyAdopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments in the ASU enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization, disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption allowed. We adopted this guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2025, and included the necessary disclosures in this Form 10-K.
On January 1, 2025, the Company adopted ASU No. 2024-02, “Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”). This Update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. The adoption of ASU 2024-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Unbilled accounts receivable are a form of contract asset and primarily result from revenue being recognized when or as control of a solution or service is transferred to the customer, but where invoicing is contingent upon the completion of other performance obligations or payment terms differ from the provisioning of services. The current portion of unbilled accounts receivable is reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet, and the non-current portion is included in other assets. Right to recover assets are recognized in respect of the transfer of products with a right of return where the Company has also recognized a refund liability. Right to return assets are recognized in other debtors and refund liabilities are recognized as part of deferred income. Contract liabilities (deferred income and customer prepayments and deposits) primarily relate to consideration received from customers in advance of delivery of the related goods and services to the customer. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Revenue
recognized that was included in the deferred income balance at the beginning of the period amounted to $4.8 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 there was no significant amounts of revenue recognized as a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied in the respective prior periods.

Issuanceof Long-Term Debt - Series B Notes
On June 4, 2025, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) plc (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned (indirect) subsidiary of the Company, together with certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Senior Notes Purchase Agreement (the “Notes Purchase Agreement”) with (among others) Global Loan Agency Services Limited (the “Agent”) as the agent, GLAS Trust Corporation Limited (the “Security Agent”) as the security agent, and Barclays Bank plc, HG Vora Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., BSE Investments, Ltd. and HG Vora Opportunistic Capital Master Fund III A LP as the original noteholders. On September 30, 2025, a number of documents comprising Inspired Guarantor Accession Documents were signed following local law advice, such that the following entities are now guarantors under the Notes Purchase Agreement, being DMWSL 631 Limited, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC, Inspired Entertainment Lotteries LLC, Inspired Gaming (USA) Inc., Gaming Acquisitions Limited, Inspired Gaming (UK) Limited, Inspired Gaming (Greece) Limited, and Inspired Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited.
Pursuant
to the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued £270.0 million ($363.2 million, as translated at December 31, 2025) aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes (the “Senior Notes”) on June 9, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). The Senior Notes are initially guaranteed by the Issuer and certain other subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”). The terms of the Senior Notes and related guarantees are governed by the Notes Purchase Agreement.
Subject to compliance with customary conditions, the Notes Purchase Agreement allows us to incur additional senior secured indebtedness in the amounts permitted under the Senior Notes, either as a new series of notes or as an additional sub tranche or increase of the Senior Notes.
The
proceeds from the offering of Senior Notes were used to refinance the previously existing £235.0 million ($316.1 million) senior secured notes due June 1, 2026 (the “Prior Notes”) and £15.0 million ($20.2 million) loans outstanding under the prior revolving credit agreement (the “Prior RCF”) and accrued interest and/or fees, in each case (and any related fees, costs and expenses). The Issuer intends to use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes and/or working capital purposes.
The following is a brief description of the Senior Notes.
Interestand Maturity
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) rate plus a margin (based on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 5.50% to 6.00% per annum and mature on June 9, 2030 (five years from the date of issuance). Interest is payable on the Senior Notes monthly, quarterly or semi-annually (as selected by the Issuer) or by reference to any other period agreed with all the holders.
Ranking
The Senior Notes and related guarantees are senior secured obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors that (i) rank equally in right of payment to any of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness (except as otherwise described in this paragraph); (ii) rank senior in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness; (iii) are effectively junior in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness that is secured by assets that do not secure the Notes and the guarantees thereof to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes (other than the Issuer).
Guarantees
The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured first-priority basis by the Guarantors on a joint and several basis.
Security
The Senior Notes and related guarantees are secured, subject to certain permitted collateral liens, on a first-priority basis by certain assets of the Guarantors.

AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Covenants
The Notes Purchase Agreement contains incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries; (ii) create or incur certain liens; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends or distributions to the Company’s stockholders or repurchase its stock; (iv) prepay or redeem subordinated debt; (v) make certain investments, including participating joint ventures; (vi) create encumbrances or restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by restricted subsidiaries; (vii) sell assets, or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; (viii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or those of the Company’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; and (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the Notes Purchase Agreement.
The Notes Purchase Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.0x on the test date for the relevant periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, stepping down to 4.75x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the “Notes Financial Covenant”). The Notes Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as consolidated net income after adding back certain items including (without limitation) interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses and exceptional or non-recurring costs and losses and after adjusting for certain projected savings and synergies) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The Notes Purchase Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at December 31, 2025 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.06x.
Eventsof Default
The Notes Purchase Agreement provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods) which include, among others, non-payment of amounts when due, breach of covenants or other agreements in the Notes Purchase Agreement, misrepresentations, defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness and certain events of insolvency, material litigation and a “going concern” qualification by the auditors. Subject to certain exceptions, if an event of default occurs, the Agent or the holders of more than 50% of the Senior Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
VoluntaryRedemption
The
Issuer may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the first anniversary of issuance, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium (the “Make Whole”) as set forth in the Notes Purchase Agreement, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Issuer may also redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the first anniversary of issuance but prior to the second anniversary of issuance, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus 1% of the principal amount redeemed (the “101” and, together with the Make Whole, “Call Protection”), plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after the second anniversary of issuance, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date
MandatoryRedemption
If
a change of control occurs as specified in the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Issuer must offer to purchase the Notes, in cash, at a redemption price equal to at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable Call Protection plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company generates excess cashflow as specified in the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Issuer must offer to apply an agreed percentage of such excess cash flow (subject to certain deductions and varying by reference to the level of senior secured net leverage at such time) to purchase the Senior Notes, in cash, at a redemption price equal to at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the Indenture may require the Issuer to use excess proceeds from certain asset dispositions for an offer to purchase the Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable Call Protection (unless made in the first 12 months following issuance and not in an amount exceeding £25.0 million ($33.6 million) and made in connection with certain planned disposals by the Company as set out in the Notes Purchase Agreement) plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
RevolvingCredit Facility
In
connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Issuer, together with certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Senior Facilities Agreement (the “SFA”) on June 4, 2025, with the Agent, the Security Agent and Barclays Bank plc as original lender (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide, subject to certain conditions, a secured revolving facility (the “RCF”) in an original principal amount of £17.8 million ($23.9 million) under which, as of the Closing Date, the Issuer is able to draw funds. The RCF will terminate on December 9, 2029 (54 months from the Closing Date).
Subject to compliance with customary conditions, the SFA allows certain members of the Group to incur additional senior secured, second lien and unsecured indebtedness in the amounts permitted under the Senior Notes, either as a new facility or as an additional sub tranche or increase of the RCF.
Proceeds from the RCF, if drawn, may be used towards financing and/or refinancing (directly or indirectly) the general corporate and/or working capital purposes of the Company (including, without limitation, restructuring costs or charges and any acquisitions or investments).
The funding of the RCF is subject to customary conditions set forth in the SFA, including documentary conditions precedent which are to be satisfied on the Closing Date.

The
loans under the RCF bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) SONIA for borrowings in sterling, (ii) LIBOR for borrowings in dollars, or (iii) EURIBOR for borrowings in Euro, as applicable, plus, in each case, a margin (based on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 3.25% to 3.75% per annum. With respect to the RCF, a commitment fee of 35% of the then applicable margin is payable at any time on any unutilized portion of the RCF.
The SFA contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain exceptions), representations, warranties, limitations and events of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the financing documents, cross default, insolvency and litigation) customary for similar facilities and subject to customary carve-outs and grace periods. Following the occurrence of an event of default which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more than 50% of total commitments under the SFA may, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between the Lenders and the holders of the Senior Notes), instruct the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF loans, (ii) instruct the security agent to enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise any other remedies available to the Lenders.
The SFA requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.50x on the test date for the relevant periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, stepping down to 5.25x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The SFA does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at December 31, 2025 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.06x.
The outstanding principal amount of each advance under the RCF is payable on the last day of the interest period relating to such advance, unless such advance is rolled over on a cashless basis in accordance with customary rollover provisions contained in the SFA, with a final repayment on December 9, 2029.
In the event that a Lender breaches its obligations under the SFA, otherwise repudiates or rescinds the SFA or any other finance document or is subject to an insolvency event, the Issuer is entitled to prepay the amounts owed to such Lender, cancel its undrawn commitments and replace it with another financial institution of the Company’s choosing who is willing to join the SFA as a Lender. Subject to the foregoing, recourse against the Lenders by the Company or its subsidiaries that are party to the SFA would, absent fraud or other criminal behavior, generally be limited to remedies for breach of contract.
Terminationof Prior Financing
The
Company’s previous debt consisted of £235.0 million ($316.1 million) of Senior Secured Notes which bore interest at a fixed rate of 7.875% and a Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility in a principal amount of £20.0 million ($26.9 million), of which £15.0 million ($20.2 million) was drawn at the time of termination, which bore interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) SONIA for borrowings in sterling, (ii) LIBOR (or, on and after December 31, 2021, SOFR) for borrowings in US Dollars, or (iii) EURIBOR for borrowings in Euro, as applicable, plus, in each case, a margin (based on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 4.25% to 4.75% per annum.
In connection with the entry into each of the Notes Purchase Agreement and the SFA, on June 9, 2025, (i) the Issuer redeemed the Prior Notes and terminated the indenture dated May 20, 2021 pursuant to which the Prior Notes had been issued, and (ii) the Issuer prepaid in full all outstanding loans under the Prior RCF and terminated the Super Senior Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement dated May 20, 2021.
The
termination of the prior financing is considered to be a non-substantial modification, in accordance with Topic 470-50. Fees directly associated with the modified Senior Debt amounting to $18.1 million were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the new Senior Debt, along with the existing $1.6 million unamortized debt issuance costs of the old Senior Debt. $0.9 million of fees associated with the new RCF were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the new RCF, along with the existing $0.1 million unamortized fees attributable to the Prior RCF. Fees paid to third parties of $2.3 million related to the new Senior Debt were expensed as incurred into Selling, General and Administrative fees.

14.Derivatives and Hedging Activities
On
November 12, 2025, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with Macquarie Bank Limited designed to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows on the current floating rate debt facilities. The swaps are effective from December 9, 2025, until maturity on December 9, 2027. The swaps fix the interest rate at 3.6208% on a notional amount of £250.0 million ($336.3 million), payable to Macquarie Bank Limited, with Macquarie Bank Limited paying an amount to the Company on the notional amount of £250.0 million ($336.3 million) at an interest rate equal to the floating amount due on the Senior Notes, subject to a floor of 3.00%.
RiskManagement Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.
CashFlow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the year ended December 31, 2025, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.
For
derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve-months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.3 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Credit-risk-relatedContingent Features
Each of Inspired Gaming (UK) Limited and Gaming Acquisitions Limited, wholly owned (indirect) subsidiaries of the Company, (each, a “Hedging Subsidiary”) has entered into an industry standard ISDA Master Agreement, with a negotiated Schedule thereto (each, an “ISDA Agreement”), with the counterparty to its derivative transactions and which ISDA Agreements set forth various provisions which govern the relationship between each such Hedging Subsidiary and its counterparty with respect to such derivative instruments. Such provisions include certain events which, if triggered by either party, may give rise to a termination of the relevant derivative instruments, which may trigger a requirement for the exchange of a breakage payment between the parties.
Each ISDA Agreement contains a provision whereby if any of the Company’s subsidiaries that has granted credit support in respect of such derivative transactions defaults on any of its indebtedness above a threshold amount, including default where repayment of such indebtedness has not been accelerated by the relevant creditor, then the relevant Hedging Subsidiary could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. Each ISDA Agreement also contains a provision where the relevant Hedging Subsidiary could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the relevant Hedging Subsidiary’s default on its indebtedness.
As
of December 31, 2025, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk, related to the ISDA Agreements was $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, no Hedging Subsidiary has posted any collateral related to the ISDA Agreement, as no collateral is required under the terms thereof. If the Hedging Subsidiaries had breached any of the provisions under the terms, which resulted in an acceleration of the ISDA Agreements, as at December 31, 2025, the Company could have been required to settle its obligations under the respective ISDA Agreements at their termination value of $0.5 million.
15.Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate the fair value of our assets and liabilities utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:
| Level<br> 1: | Quoted<br> prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level<br> 2: | Observable<br> inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient<br> volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable<br> or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.<br> Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as<br> quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions. |
| Level<br> 3: | Unobservable<br> inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Level<br> 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that are unable to be corroborated with observable<br> market data. |
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments approximates their recorded values.

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer.
At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no Level 3 inputs, and no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.
16.Stockholders’ Deficit
PreferredStock
The
Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share in one or more series. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
CommonStock
The Company is authorized to issue 49,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each common share.
17.Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation plans authorize awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options and other equity-related awards. The Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 10, 2023 and approved by our stockholders on May 9, 2023. The 2023 Plan succeeded the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) such that shares subject to the unused reserves of the Prior Plans (e.g., as a result of termination or forfeiture of awards) are instead rolled over to the 2023 Plan. The Company has two other predecessor plans, the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Second Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Terminated Plans”), whose available balances were terminated in connection with approval of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Although outstanding awards under the Terminated Plans remain governed by the terms of such plans, no new awards may be granted or become available for grant thereunder.
As
of December 31, 2025, there were (i) 1,306,958 shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2023 Plan, including 493,736 shares subject to performance-based target awards, 93,750 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions and 283,243 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement (a portion of which settled in January 2026); (ii) 1,201,716 shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans, comprising 97,500 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions and 1,104,216 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement (a portion of which settled in January 2026); and (iii) 1,118,686 shares subject to outstanding awards under the Terminated Plans as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement. As of December 31, 2025, there were 2,021,962 shares available for new awards under the 2023 Plan (which includes shares rolled over from the Prior Plans) and no shares available for new awards under the Prior Plans. All awards outstanding as of December 31, 2025 consisted of RSUs (including time-based RSUs, performance-based RSUs and stock price based RSUs).

The
Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that authorizes the issuance of up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to purchases thereunder by employees. The ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in July 2017, is administered by the Compensation Committee which has discretion to designate the length of offering periods and other terms subject to the requirements of the ESPP. Offerings may also be under the ESPP’s subplan for UK-based employees (the “Subplan”) which was adopted in June 2022 and is designed to meet the requirements of a sharesave plan under UK law. The terms applicable to offerings approved under the ESPP and Subplan for 2024 are described below. Offerings were not approved for 2025.
ESPP
— Eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of base compensation through payroll deductions over a period of twelve months, a maximum of 1,000 shares may be purchased per participant, the purchase price is equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price of the common stock at the beginning of the offering period and the end of the offering period and shares are purchased on the last day of the offering period.
Subplan
(UK) — Eligible employees may contribute a maximum amount of £350 per month through payroll deductions over a period of three years, the purchase price is equal to 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the day prior to commencement of the enrollment window for the offering, and participants have a period of six months following the end of the offering to elect to purchase shares or receive a refund.
As
of December 31, 2025, a total of 456,756 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP (including in connection with outstanding purchase rights under the Company’s ongoing offering periods). A total of 3,670 shares were purchased in 2024 (at a purchase price of $8.109 per share) and a total of 3,245 shares were purchased in 2025 (at a purchase price of $6.4175 per share). The shares from the 2024 purchases were issued in 2024. Based on enrollments in the ESPP’s Subplan, an aggregate of approximately 77,000 shares were subject to outstanding purchase rights as of December 31, 2025.
A summary of the Company’s RSU activity is as follows:

| Unvested<br> Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | 975,381 | $ | 10.25 | |||
| (1) | The<br> amount shown as “granted” includes 259,717 performance-based target RSUs for 2025 as to which the number eligible to<br> vest ranged from 0% to 200% of the target amount of RSUs (a maximum of 519,434 RSUs based on attainment of Adjusted EBITDA targets<br> for 2025 and criteria previously set by the Compensation Committee). The amount shown also includes tranches covering an aggregate<br> of 104,166 Adjusted EBITDA RSUs (subject to performance criteria for 2025) which were part of sign-on awards of multiple tranches<br> approved in 2023 for our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer with respect to which the accounting grant date for the<br> 2025 tranches did not occur until the targets were set in February 2025. | |||||
| --- | --- | |||||
| (2) | The<br> RSUs that vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 included: (a) approximately 97,935 RSUs that are subject to deferred settlement<br> terms; and (b) approximately 314,470 RSUs that vested on the last day of the year and were settled on a net share basis in January<br> 2026. |
The
Company issued a total of 348,141 shares during the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the Company’s equity-based plans, which included an aggregate of 274,112 shares issued in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested during the prior year (on December 31, 2024) and an aggregate of 36,968 shares subject to awards that vested between 2020 and 2023.
The
weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted for years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 amounted to $10.33 and $9.07, respectively. The vesting date value of RSUs vesting for years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 amounted to $4.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
When
tax deductions from stock options and awards are less than the cumulative book compensation expense, the tax effect of the resulting differences is a shortfall. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 an income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.5 million was recorded for shortfalls generated from stock options and awards exercised in their respective years.
Stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. For performance awards that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain pre-determined financial performance targets, compensation expense is calculated based on the number of shares expected to vest after assessing the probability that the performance criteria will be met. Determining the probability of achieving a performance target requires estimates and judgment. For market-based awards that are contingent upon the Company’s stock achieving certain pre-determined price targets, compensation expense is calculated based upon the determination of the fair value of the awards as derived through multiple running of the Monte Carlo valuation model, with the fair value recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period for awards to employees is generally satisfied over a vesting period of three years (and one year for non-employee directors). The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For stock purchase rights under the Company’s ESPP (including its subplan), the Company estimates fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the dates of grant, with the compensation expense recognized over the requisite service period.

19.Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic income/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income/loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and RSUs, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because they were contingently issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA contains significant tax law changes with various effective dates affecting business taxpayers. Among the tax law changes that will impact the Company relate to the timing and amount of interest expense deductions within global low-taxed income calculation, and deductions and foreign tax credit calculations related to the global low-taxed income calculation. The tax provision was impacted by the timing and amount of interest expense deductions within the global low-taxed income calculations in 2025.
As
of December 31, 2025 the Company’s cumulative state net operating losses are $48.6 million, which begin to expire in 2026. The utilization of the Company’s state net operating losses may be subject to a limitation in the future due to the “change of ownership provisions” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2025, the Company is not aware of an ownership change under Section 382.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company also has gross net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions, primarily the UK, totaling $110.7 million and $66.8 million, respectively. The majority of these net operating losses have an unlimited carry forward period.
Management
evaluates both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be available to utilize existing deferred tax assets. A key piece of objective positive evidence considered is the cumulative income generated over a three-year period. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company determined that, due to positive income generation in the United Kingdom in recent years leading to a cumulative income position, and based on forecasted future taxable income, while considering expected permanent and temporary timing tax differences, a significant portion of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was no longer necessary. As of December 31, 2025, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $8.2 million in the United States and $2.2 million in the United Kingdom. The remaining valuation allowance relates to capital loss carryovers in the United Kingdom, state net operating losses unable to be utilized in the United States and United States interest expected to be limited under Section 163(j).
The Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities in respect of unremitted earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested in foreign subsidiaries. We do not provide for taxes on our undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have not been previously taxed because we intend to invest such undistributed earnings indefinitely outside of the United States.
Currently, there are no federal, state or foreign jurisdiction tax audits pending. The Company’s corporate federal and state tax returns from 2022 to 2024 remain subject to examination by tax authorities and the Company’s foreign tax returns from 2017 to 2024 remain subject to examination by tax authorities.
In accordance with ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions to determine if there are any uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next twelve months.

24.Leases
TheCompany as Lessee
The Company is party to operating leases with third parties with respect to various real estate and vehicle assets. Both real estate and vehicle leases typically include a lease (of the property or vehicle) and a non-lease (provision of services) component which are accounted for separately. Payment terms are typically fixed, however, certain leases may contain various provisions for increases in rental rates based either on changes in a specific price index (such as the published Consumer Price Index CPI), a predetermined escalation schedule or rate, or as a percentage of sales. Such variable lease payments are recognized as lease expense as they are incurred. We initially measure the present value of the lease payments using the index at the lease commencement date. Additional payments based on the future subsequent change in an index or rate, or payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded when incurred as variable payments.
The lease term begins on the commencement date, which is the date the Company takes possession of the property. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options to extend or terminate are assessed on a lease-by-lease basis, and the ROU assets and lease liabilities are adjusted when it is reasonably certain that the option to extend or terminate will be exercised. The lease term is used to determine lease classification as an operating or finance lease and is used to calculate straight-line expense for operating leases. The operating leases have remaining terms of 4 months to 12 years.

TheCompany as Lessor
Certain of our arrangements include leases for equipment installed at customer locations. As the lessor, we combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in arrangements that involve operating leases. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers based on the consideration that the non-lease components are the predominant items in the arrangements. If a component cannot be combined, the consideration is allocated between the lease component and the non-lease component based on relative standalone selling price. The lease component is accounted for under ASC 842, Leases and the non-lease component is accounted for under ASC 606.

25.Commitments and Contingencies
EmploymentAgreements
We are party to employment agreements with our executive officers and other employees of the Company and our subsidiaries which contain, among other terms, provisions relating to severance and notice requirements.
LegalMatters
From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company believes that, currently, it has no such matters that are material, there can be no assurance that existing or new matters arising in the ordinary course of business will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
26.Pension Plan
We
operate a defined contribution plan in the US and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans in the UK. The defined contribution plan assets are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The defined contribution pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company and amounted to $3.5 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Contributions totaling $0.4 million and $0.4 million were payable to the fund as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The defined benefit plan has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the Company for the entire financial statement periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Retirement benefits are generally based on a portion of an employee’s pensionable earnings during years prior to 2010.
The
latest triennial actuarial valuation of the plan as at March 31, 2024 was finalized in March 2025. The actuarial valuation revealed that the statutory funding objective was not met, i.e. there were insufficient assets to cover the Plan’s Technical Provisions and there was a funding shortfall of £2.0 million ($2.7 million) at the valuation date. Under the Recovery Plan and Schedule of Contributions agreed between the Trustee and the Company on March 5, 2025, it was agreed that the shortfall will be met by contributions of £0.6 million ($0.8 million) for the period April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and £0.7 million ($0.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Plan Actuary will assess the funding position of the plan at March 31, 2026 and if the funding level at that point is less than 100% the Company will pay a single lump sum contingent contribution calculated as the lower of the deficit calculated by the Plan Actuary at March 31, 2026 and £0.5 million ($0.7 million). This contingent contribution will be payable by October 31, 2026. The Company will also make expense contributions of £0.3 million ($0.4 million) per annum for the period covered by the Recovery Plan and Schedule of Contributions.

The trustee has made an allowance for the pension plan liability profile when deciding the investment strategy of the pension plan. Since the pension plan is closed to new entrants and ceased future accrual with effect from March 31, 2010, it has continued to mature gradually. Therefore, the trustee reviews the investment strategy regularly to check whether any changes are needed. When considering the investment strategy, the trustee has taken into account the effect of any possible increases in the deficit reduction contributions on the financial position of the Company, and the extent to which the Company will be able to bear these changes.
The plan’s investment policy is to maximize long-term financial return commensurate with security and minimizing risk, with an objective of achieving a return of around 2.8% per annum above the return on UK Government bonds. This is achieved by holding a portfolio of marketable investments that avoids over-concentration of investment and spreads assets both over industries and geographies. In setting investment strategy, the trustees considered the lowest risk strategy that they could adopt in relation to the plan’s liabilities and designed an asset allocation to achieve a higher return while maintaining a cautious approach to meeting the plan’s liabilities. The trustees undertake periodic reviews of the investment strategy and take advice from their investment advisors. They consider a full range of asset classes, the risks and rewards of a range of alternative asset allocation strategies, the suitability of each asset class and the need for appropriate diversification. The current strategy is to hold 14.9% in a diversified growth fund, 15.5% in diversified credit, 6.8% in synthetic equity, 2.5% in synthetic credit, 22.3% in core liability driven investment funds and 38% in a buy-in policy.
The Company recognizes gains or losses on pension settlements if the cost of the settlements exceeds the sum of service and interest cost for the year. Lump-sum settlements are monitored at the end of every quarter to determine whether settlement amounts have exceeded the defined thresholds. In instances where the Company determines that it is probable that the lump settlements could exceed the sum of interest and service cost for the year, the Company accounts for the settlements as they occur.
Our pension benefit costs are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. These assumptions include discount rates, inflation, expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the obligations under our plans represent our best estimates, and we believe that they are reasonable, based on information as to historical experience and performance as well as other factors that might cause future expectations to differ from past trends. Differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our pension obligations and future expense. The principal factors contributing to actuarial gains and losses each year are (1) changes in the discount rate used to value pension benefit obligations as of the measurement date and (2) differences between the expected and the actual return on plan assets.
Our valuation methodologies used for pension assets measured at fair value are as follows. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The diversified fund is valued at fair value by using the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the plan at the year end. The NAV of the diversified fund is not publicly quoted. The majority of the underlying securities have observable Level 1 or 2 pricing inputs, including quoted prices for similar assets in active or non-active markets. ASC 820 states that where NAV is allowed to be used as an estimate of fair value, if the reporting entity has the ability to redeem its investment at NAV as of the measurement date, that investment shall be categorized as a Level II fair value measurement. If the investment cannot be redeemed at the measurement date, but may be redeemable in the future, but at an uncertain date, the investment shall be categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement.
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the diversified fund was redeemable at NAV as of the measurement dates.
With respect to the buy-in contract, it was agreed during the year ended September 27, 2014, that 281 pensioners of the plan would be insured by means of a pensioner buy-in. The pensioner buy-in contract is similar to an annuity contract, which matches cash flows with future benefit payments for a specific group of pensioners, with the obligation remaining with the plan. The liabilities and assets in respect of insured pensioners are assumed to match for the purposes of ASC 715, Pensions - Retirement Benefits, disclosures (i.e. the full benefits, excluding the cost of equalization for Guaranteed Minimum Pensions, have been insured). The approach adopted has therefore been to include within the total value of assets, an amount equal to the fair value of the buy-in assets and to set the buy-in portion of the total liability (pension benefit obligation) equal to the fair value of the buy-in based on the actuarial assumptions adopted for ASC 715 purposes at each measurement date. The buy-in contract is valued on an insurer pricing basis, reflecting assumptions on the purchase price adjusted for changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions, which approximates fair value and is, therefore, classified as Level 3.

27.Segment Reporting and Geographic Information
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate and discrete financial information is available and is used by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief decision-making group consists of the Executive Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company’s chief decision-making group uses measures of segment profit and loss to evaluate the performance areas of 1) Achievement of revenue and gross margin; 2) Level of staff and non-staff expenses against budget; 3) Investment in capitalized software development; and 4) Additional cash expenditures impacting working capital. The decision-making group uses the information to allocate financial resources and drive operation decisions such as investing in new customers, products, geographies and refocusing commercial teams to drive new sales, accelerating or delaying staffing or other selling, general and administrative expenditures and ensuring technology staff utilization on new product development.
The Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated.
Other segment items consist of costs incurred in restructuring activities.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Item9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluationof Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Executive Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures on December 31, 2025, were not effective, due to the material weaknesses described below.
Considering these material weaknesses, we performed additional analyses as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were accurately prepared and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Management’sReport on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as Part of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (“SOX”)
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Insofar as the Company is subject to Section 404(b) of SOX, this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes an opinion by our external auditors on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025, in addition to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting under the requirements of Section 404(a) of SOX. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company.
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, were not effective, based upon the material weaknesses discussed below.
Management has made significant progress in successfully remediating a substantial number of our historical material weaknesses, significant deficiencies and control deficiencies which were identified in our internal control over financial reporting assessment at December 31, 2024.
| 65 |
| --- |
A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
IdentifiedMaterial Weaknesses
Revenue& Accounts Receivable
The Company has identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as it relates to the ineffective design of certain key activity level controls within the revenue and accounts receivable cycles as well as controls which depend upon these controls for their effectiveness.
ITGeneral Controls
The Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the Company’s change management and access controls for one application that supports the capture and approval of invoices that was not operating effectively to ensure:
| ● | IT<br> program and data changes affecting the Company’s financially relevant application are<br> properly identified, tested, authorized, and implemented, to ensure changes are appropriate, |
|---|---|
| ● | Appropriate<br> segregation of duties is maintained to adequately restrict user and privileged access to<br> the financially relevant application and underlying accounting records to the appropriate<br> Company personnel. |
Due to the pervasive nature of the deficiency, automated process-level and manual controls that depend on information derived from this financially relevant application were also determined to be ineffective.
CapitalizedSoftware and Contract Costs
The Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to ineffective design of certain controls over the accounting for capitalized software and contract costs within the software development cycle.
Remediation
Management was successful in remediating a substantial number of deficiencies from FY 2024. During 2025, the company hired additional personnel, refined business processes and implemented new systems and tools to enhance the financial reporting process and operational controls.
Management believes the matters described above are planned and expected to be remediated during the financial reporting period ending December 31, 2026.
Changesin Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As disclosed in the Company’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures on December 31, 2024, management identified material weaknesses related to the ineffective design and execution of business process controls, monitoring controls, and ITGCs, which resulted in pervasive deficiencies across financial reporting processes. During the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the items identified above, management has successfully remediated these previously identified material weaknesses through (i) hiring additional qualified accounting and SOX personnel, (ii) implementing new financial systems and enhancing system configurations, (iii) designing and implementing new and enhanced process-level controls across all significant financial reporting cycles, (iv) enhancing documentation of U.S. GAAP accounting policies and procedures, (v) strengthening management review controls and evidentiary standards, (vi) implementing and testing IT change management and logical access controls across in-scope applications; and (vii) establishing a formalized SOX testing and monitoring program. Management evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of these newly implemented and enhanced controls during 2025.
Except for the changes noted above in connection with the initiatives to remediate prior material weaknesses, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
AdverseOpinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described in the subsequent paragraphs on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”:
The Company has identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as it relates to the ineffective design of certain key activity level controls within the revenue and accounts receivable cycles as well as controls which depend upon these controls for their effectiveness.
The Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the Company’s change management and access controls for one application that supports the capture and approval of invoices that was not operating effectively to ensure:
| ● | IT<br> program and data changes affecting the Company’s financially relevant application are<br> properly identified, tested, authorized, and implemented, to ensure changes are appropriate, |
|---|---|
| ● | Appropriate<br> segregation of duties is maintained to adequately restrict user and privileged access to<br> the financially relevant application and underlying accounting records to the appropriate<br> Company personnel. |
Due to the pervasive nature of the deficiency, automated process-level and manual controls that depend on information derived from this financially relevant application were also determined to be ineffective.
The Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to ineffective design of certain controls over the accounting for capitalized software and contract costs within the software development cycle.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the fiscal December 31, 2025 financial statements and this report does not affect our report dated March 10, 2026 on those financial statements.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 of the Company and our report dated March 10, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basisfor Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definitionand Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
2002MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of 7/11/2025
MacquarieBank Limited and Inspired Gaming (UK) Limited
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this 2002 Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties or otherwise effective for the purpose of confirming or evidencing those Transactions. This 2002 Master Agreement and the Schedule are together referred to as this “Master Agreement”.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:-
| 1. | Interpretation |
|---|
(a) ***Definitions.***The terms defined in Section 14 and elsewhere in this Master Agreement will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) ***Inconsistency.***In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement, such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.
(c) SingleAgreement All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
| 2. | Obligations |
|---|---|
| (a) | General<br> Conditions. |
| --- | --- |
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
Copyright© 2002 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other condition specified in this Agreement to be a condition precedent for the purpose of this Section 2(a)(iii).
(b) Changeof Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the Scheduled Settlement Date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.
| (c) | Netting of Payments. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:- |
|---|---|
| (i) | in<br> the same currency; and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | in<br> respect of the same Transaction, |
| --- | --- |
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by which the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount and payment obligation will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of those Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or any Confirmation by specifying that “Multiple Transaction Payment Netting” applies to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election (in which case clause
(ii) above will not apply to such Transactions). If Multiple Transaction Payment Netting is applicable to Transactions, it will apply to those Transactions with effect from the starting date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, or, if a starting date is not specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, the starting date otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.
| (d) | Deduction<br> or Withholding for Tax. |
|---|
(i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”) will:-
(1) promptly notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and
| 2 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for: -
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.
| (ii) | Liability.<br> If - |
|---|
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
| (2) | X<br> does not so deduct or withhold; and |
|---|---|
| (3) | a<br> liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X, |
| --- | --- |
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
| 3. | Representations |
|---|
Each party makes the representations contained in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 3(e) and 3(f) and, if specified in the Schedule as applying, 3(g) to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement).

(2) such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party (which will be the Affected Party) is prevented from performing any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery which such party or Credit Support Provider has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction, from receiving a payment or delivery under such Credit Support Document or from complying with any other material provision of such Credit Support Document (or would be so prevented if such payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day), or it becomes impossible or impracticable for such party or Credit Support Provider so to perform, receive or comply (or it would be impossible or impracticable for such party or Credit Support Provider so to perform, receive or comply if such payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day),
so long as the force majeure or act of state is beyond the control of such Office, such party or such Credit Support Provider, as appropriate, and such Office, party or Credit Support Provider could not, after using all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party or Credit Support Provider to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), overcome such prevention, impossibility or impracticability;
(iii) Tax Event. Due to (1) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (2) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Settlement Date (A) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) or (B) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));
(iv) TaxEvent Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Settlement Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets (or any substantial part of the assets comprising the business conducted by it as of the date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganising, reincorporating or reconstituting into or as, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption;
(v) CreditEvent Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, a Designated Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (in each case, “X”) and such Designated Event does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption, and the creditworthiness of X or, if applicable, the successor, surviving or transferee entity of X, after taking into account any applicable Credit Support Document, is materially weaker immediately after the occurrence of such Designated Event than that of X immediately prior to the occurrence of such Designated Event (and, in any such event, such party or its successor, surviving or transferee entity, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party). A “Designated Event” with respect to X means that:-
(1) X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets (or any substantial part of the assets comprising the business conducted by X as of the date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganises, reincorporates or reconstitutes into or as, another entity;

(2) any person, related group of persons or entity acquires directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of (A) equity securities having the power to elect a majority of the board of directors (or its equivalent) of X or (B) any other ownership interest enabling it to exercise control of X; or
(3) X effects any substantial change in its capital structure by means of the issuance, incurrence or guarantee of debt or the issuance of (A) preferred stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for debt or preferred stock or (B) in the case of entities other than corporations, any other form of ownership interest; or
(vi) AdditionalTermination Event If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties will be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
| (c) | Hierarchy of Events. |
|---|
(i) An event or circumstance that constitutes or gives rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event will not, for so long as that is the case, also constitute or give rise to an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i), 5(a)(ii)(1) or 5(a)(iii)(1) insofar as such event or circumstance relates to the failure to make any payment or delivery or a failure to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement or a Credit Support Document, as the case may be.
(ii) Except in circumstances contemplated by clause (i) above, if an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event also constitutes an Event of Default or any other Termination Event, it will be treated as an Event of Default or such other Termination Event, as the case may be, and will not constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event.
(iii) If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to a Force Majeure Event also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality, except as described in clause (ii) above, and not a Force Majeure Event.
(d) Deferralof Payments and Deliveries During Waiting Period. If an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Transaction, each payment or delivery which would otherwise be required to be made under that Transaction will be deferred to, and will not be due until: -
(i) the first Local Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, the first Local Delivery Day (or the first day that would have been a Local Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as appropriate, but for the occurrence of the event or circumstance constituting or giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event) following the end of any applicable Waiting Period in respect of that Illegality or Force Majeure Event, as the case may be; or
(ii) if earlier, the date on which the event or circumstance constituting or giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event ceases to exist or, if such date is not a Local Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, a Local Delivery Day, the first following day that is a Local Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as appropriate.
(e) Inabilityof Head or Home Office to Perform Obligations of Branch. If (i) an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event occurs under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1) and the relevant Office is not the Affected Party’s head or home office, (ii) Section 10(a) applies, (iii) the other party seeks performance of the relevant obligation or compliance with the relevant provision by the Affected Party’s head or home office and (iv) the Affected Party’s head or home office fails so to perform or comply due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance which would, if that head or home office were the Office through which the Affected Party makes and receives payments and deliveries with respect to the relevant Transaction, constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event, and such failure would otherwise constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1) with respect to such party, then, for so long as the relevant event or circumstance continues to exist with respect to both the Office referred to in Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1), as the case may be, and the Affected Party’s head or home office, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1).

| --- | --- | | 6. | Early Termination; Close-Out Netting | | --- | --- |
(a) Rightto Terminate Following Event of Default If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
| (b) | Right to Terminate Following Termination Event |
|---|
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event other than a Force Majeure Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction, and will also give the other party such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, each party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, use all reasonable efforts to notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Force Majeure Event, and will also give the other party such other information about that Force Majeure Event as the other party may reasonably require.
(ii) Transferto Avoid Termination Event. If a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii) TwoAffected Parties. If a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice of such occurrence is given under Section 6(b)(i) to avoid that Termination Event.
| 11 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- | | (iv) | Right to Terminate. | | --- | --- | | (1) | If:- | | --- | --- |
(A) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
(B) a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there are two Affected Parties, or the Non-affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, if the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(2) If at any time an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has occurred and is then continuing and any applicable Waiting Period has expired:-
(A) Subject to clause (B) below, either party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party, designate ( I) a day not earlier than the day on which such notice becomes effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions or (II) by specifying in that notice the Affected Transactions in respect of which it is designating the relevant day as an Early Termination Date, a day not earlier than two Local Business Days following the day on which such notice becomes effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of less than all Affected Transactions. Upon receipt of a notice designating an Early Termination Date in respect of less than all Affected Transactions, the other party may, by notice to the designating party, if such notice is effective on or before the day so designated, designate that same day as an Early Termination Date in respect of any or all other Affected Transactions.
(B) An Affected Party (if the Illegality or Force Majeure Event relates to performance by such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party of an obligation to make any payment or delivery under, or to compliance with any other material provision of, the relevant Credit Support Document) will only have the right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A) as a result of an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2) or a Force Majeure Event under Section 5(b)(ii)(2) following the prior designation by the other party of an Early Termination Date, pursuant to Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A), in respect of less than all Affected Transactions.
| (c) | Effect of Designation. |
|---|
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or 6(b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 9(h)(i) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date will be determined pursuant to Sections 6(e) and 9(h)(ii).
| 12 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- | | (d) | Calculations; Payment Date. | | --- | --- |
(i) Statement On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement
(1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including any quotations, market data or information from internal sources used in making such calculations),
(2) specifying (except where there are two Affected Parties) any Early Termination Amount payable and
(3) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation or market data obtained in determining a Close-out Amount, the records of the party obtaining such quotation or market data will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation or market data.
(ii) PaymentDate. An Early Termination Amount due in respect of any Early Termination Date will, together with any amount of interest payable pursuant to Section 9(h)(ii)(2), be payable (1) on the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default and (2) on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (or, if there are two Affected Parties, after the day on which the statement provided pursuant to clause (i) above by the second party to provide such a statement is effective) in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event.
(e) Paymentson Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the amount, if any, payable in respect of that Early Termination Date (the “Early Termination Amount”) will be determined pursuant to this Section 6(e) and will be subject to Section 6(f).
(i) Eventsof Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default, the Early Termination Amount will be an amount equal to (1) the sum of (A) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative) determined by the Non-defaulting Party for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (2) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If the Early Termination Amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non- defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of the Early Termination Amount to the Defaulting Party.
| (ii) | Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:- |
|---|
(1) OneAffected Party. Subject to clause (3) below, if there is one Affected Party, the Early Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i), except that references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and to the Non-affected Party, respectively.
(2) TwoAffected Parties. Subject to clause (3) below, if there are two Affected Parties, each party will determine an amount equal to the Termination Currency Equivalent of the sum of the Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and the Early Termination Amount will be an amount equal to (A) the sum of
(I) one-half of the difference between the higher amount so determined (by party “X”) and the lower amount so determined (by party “Y”) and (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less
(B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y. If the Early Termination Amount is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of the Early Termination Amount to Y.
| 13 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
(3) Mid-MarketEvents. If that Termination Event is an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event, then the Early Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) above, as appropriate, except that, for the purpose of determining a Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts, the Determining Party will:-
(A) if obtaining quotations from one or more third parties (or from any of the Determining Party’s Affiliates), ask each third party or Affiliate (I) not to take account of the current creditworthiness of the Determining Party or any existing Credit Support Document and (II) to provide mid-market quotations; and
(B) in any other case, use mid-market values without regard to the creditworthiness of the Determining Party.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because Automatic Early Termination applies in respect of a party, the Early Termination Amount will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by applicable law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Adjustmentfor Illegality or Force Majeure Event The failure by a party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to pay, when due, any Early Termination Amount will not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1) if such failure is due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance which would, if it occurred with respect to payment, delivery or compliance related to a Transaction, constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event. Such amount will (1) accrue interest and otherwise be treated as an Unpaid Amount owing to the other party if subsequently an Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions and (2) otherwise accrue interest in accordance with Section 9(h)(ii)(2).
(v) PreEstimate. The parties agree that an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre- estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of the termination of the Terminated Transactions.
(f) Set-Off. Any Early Termination Amount payable to one party (the “Payee”) by the other party (the “Payer”), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or where there is one Affected Party in the case where either a Credit Event Upon Merger has occurred or any other Termination Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions has occurred, will, at the option of the Non-defaulting Party or the Non-affected Party, as the case may be (“X”) (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, as the case may be), be reduced by its set-off against any other amounts (“Other Amounts”) payable by the Payee to the Payer (whether or not arising under this Agreement, matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or place of booking of the obligation). To the extent that any Other Amounts are so set off, those Other Amounts will be discharged promptly and in all respects. X will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 6(f).
For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in which the other is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.
| 14 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained.
Nothing in this Section 6(f) will be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 6(f) will be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, offset, combination of accounts, lien, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled or subject (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
| 7. | Transfer |
|---|
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii) and to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:-
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any Early Termination Amount payable to it by a Defaulting Party, together with any amounts payable on or with respect to that interest and any other rights associated with that interest pursuant to Sections 8, 9(h) and 11.
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 7 will be void.
| 8. | Contractual Currency |
|---|
(a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.
(b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purpose of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
| 15 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
(c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the indemnities in this Section 8 constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.
(d) Evidenceof Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.

(3) Interest on Deferred Payments. If:-
(A) a party does not pay any amount that, but for Section 2(a)(iii), would have been payable, it will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c) and clauses (B) and (C) below, pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on that amount to the other party on demand (after such amount becomes payable) in the same currency as that amount, for the period from (and including) the date the amount would, but for Section 2(a)(iii), have been payable to (but excluding) the date the amount actually becomes payable, at the Applicable Deferral Rate;

| (c) | Miscellaneous Provisions. Prior to the calculation or determination of the Final Determination, the<br> amount which is to be paid or delivered by either party shall be the full amount of the Original<br> Determination calculated or determined by the Calculation Agent. |
|---|

2002MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of 7 November 2025
MacquarieBank Limited and Gaming Acquisitions Limited
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this 2002 Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties or otherwise effective for the purpose of confirming or evidencing those Transactions. This 2002 Master Agreement and the Schedule are together referred to as this “Master Agreement”.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:-
| 1. | Interpretation |
|---|
(a) ***Definitions.***The terms defined in Section 14 and elsewhere in this Master Agreement will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) ***Inconsistency.***In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement, such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.
(c) SingleAgreement All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
| 2. | Obligations |
|---|---|
| (a) | General<br> Conditions. |
| --- | --- |
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
Copyright© 2002 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other condition specified in this Agreement to be a condition precedent for the purpose of this Section 2(a)(iii).
(b) Changeof Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the Scheduled Settlement Date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.
| (c) | Netting of Payments. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:- |
|---|---|
| (i) | in<br> the same currency; and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | in<br> respect of the same Transaction, |
| --- | --- |
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by which the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount and payment obligation will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of those Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or any Confirmation by specifying that “Multiple Transaction Payment Netting” applies to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election (in which case clause
(ii) above will not apply to such Transactions). If Multiple Transaction Payment Netting is applicable to Transactions, it will apply to those Transactions with effect from the starting date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, or, if a starting date is not specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, the starting date otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.
| (d) | Deduction<br> or Withholding for Tax. |
|---|
(i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”) will:-
(1) promptly notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and
| 2 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for: -
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.
| (ii) | Liability.<br> If - |
|---|
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
| (2) | X<br> does not so deduct or withhold; and |
|---|---|
| (3) | a<br> liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X, |
| --- | --- |
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
| 3. | Representations |

Each party makes the representations contained in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 3(e) and 3(f) and, if specified in the Schedule as applying, 3(g) to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement).

(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) TerminationEvents. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes (subject to Section 5(c)) an Illegality if the event is specified in clause (i) below, a Force Majeure Event if the event is specified in clause (ii) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in clause (iii) below, a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in clause (iv) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to clause (v) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to clause (vi) below:-
(i) Illegality. After giving effect to any applicable provision, disruption fallback or remedy specified in, or pursuant to, the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement, due to an event or circumstance (other than any action taken by a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party) occurring after a Transaction is entered into, it becomes unlawful under any applicable law (including without limitation the laws of any country in which payment, delivery or compliance is required by either party or any Credit Support Provider, as the case may be), on any day, or it would be unlawful if the relevant payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day (in each case, other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)):-
(1) for the Office through which such party (which will be the Affected Party) makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to such Transaction to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction, to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
(2) for such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party (which will be the Affected Party) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery which such party or Credit Support Provider has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction, to receive a payment or delivery under such Credit Support Document or to comply with any other material provision of such Credit Support Document;
(ii) ForceMajeure Event. After giving effect to any applicable provision, disruption fallback or remedy specified in, or pursuant to, the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement, by reason of force majeure or act of state occurring after a Transaction is entered into, on any day:-
(1) the Office through which such party (which will be the Affected Party) makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to such Transaction is prevented from performing any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction, from receiving a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or from complying with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction (or would be so prevented if such payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day), or it becomes impossible or impracticable for such Office so to perform, receive or comply (or it would be impossible or impracticable for such Office so to perform, receive or comply if such payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day); or
| 8 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
(2) such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party (which will be the Affected Party) is prevented from performing any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery which such party or Credit Support Provider has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction, from receiving a payment or delivery under such Credit Support Document or from complying with any other material provision of such Credit Support Document (or would be so prevented if such payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day), or it becomes impossible or impracticable for such party or Credit Support Provider so to perform, receive or comply (or it would be impossible or impracticable for such party or Credit Support Provider so to perform, receive or comply if such payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day),
so long as the force majeure or act of state is beyond the control of such Office, such party or such Credit Support Provider, as appropriate, and such Office, party or Credit Support Provider could not, after using all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party or Credit Support Provider to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), overcome such prevention, impossibility or impracticability;
(iii) Tax Event. Due to (1) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (2) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Settlement Date (A) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) or (B) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));
(iv) TaxEvent Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Settlement Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets (or any substantial part of the assets comprising the business conducted by it as of the date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganising, reincorporating or reconstituting into or as, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption;
(v) CreditEvent Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, a Designated Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (in each case, “X”) and such Designated Event does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption, and the creditworthiness of X or, if applicable, the successor, surviving or transferee entity of X, after taking into account any applicable Credit Support Document, is materially weaker immediately after the occurrence of such Designated Event than that of X immediately prior to the occurrence of such Designated Event (and, in any such event, such party or its successor, surviving or transferee entity, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party). A “Designated Event” with respect to X means that:-
(1) X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets (or any substantial part of the assets comprising the business conducted by X as of the date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganises, reincorporates or reconstitutes into or as, another entity;
| 9 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
(2) any person, related group of persons or entity acquires directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of (A) equity securities having the power to elect a majority of the board of directors (or its equivalent) of X or (B) any other ownership interest enabling it to exercise control of X; or
(3) X effects any substantial change in its capital structure by means of the issuance, incurrence or guarantee of debt or the issuance of (A) preferred stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for debt or preferred stock or (B) in the case of entities other than corporations, any other form of ownership interest; or
(vi) AdditionalTermination Event If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties will be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
| (c) | Hierarchy of Events. |
|---|
(i) An event or circumstance that constitutes or gives rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event will not, for so long as that is the case, also constitute or give rise to an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i), 5(a)(ii)(1) or 5(a)(iii)(1) insofar as such event or circumstance relates to the failure to make any payment or delivery or a failure to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement or a Credit Support Document, as the case may be.
(ii) Except in circumstances contemplated by clause (i) above, if an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event also constitutes an Event of Default or any other Termination Event, it will be treated as an Event of Default or such other Termination Event, as the case may be, and will not constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event.
(iii) If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to a Force Majeure Event also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality, except as described in clause (ii) above, and not a Force Majeure Event.
(d) Deferralof Payments and Deliveries During Waiting Period. If an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Transaction, each payment or delivery which would otherwise be required to be made under that Transaction will be deferred to, and will not be due until: -
(i) the first Local Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, the first Local Delivery Day (or the first day that would have been a Local Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as appropriate, but for the occurrence of the event or circumstance constituting or giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event) following the end of any applicable Waiting Period in respect of that Illegality or Force Majeure Event, as the case may be; or
(ii) if earlier, the date on which the event or circumstance constituting or giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event ceases to exist or, if such date is not a Local Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, a Local Delivery Day, the first following day that is a Local Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as appropriate.
(e) Inabilityof Head or Home Office to Perform Obligations of Branch. If (i) an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event occurs under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1) and the relevant Office is not the Affected Party’s head or home office, (ii) Section 10(a) applies, (iii) the other party seeks performance of the relevant obligation or compliance with the relevant provision by the Affected Party’s head or home office and (iv) the Affected Party’s head or home office fails so to perform or comply due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance which would, if that head or home office were the Office through which the Affected Party makes and receives payments and deliveries with respect to the relevant Transaction, constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event, and such failure would otherwise constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1) with respect to such party, then, for so long as the relevant event or circumstance continues to exist with respect to both the Office referred to in Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1), as the case may be, and the Affected Party’s head or home office, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1).
| 10 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- | | 6. | Early Termination; Close-Out Netting | | --- | --- |
(a) Rightto Terminate Following Event of Default If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
| (b) | Right to Terminate Following Termination Event |
|---|
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event other than a Force Majeure Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction, and will also give the other party such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, each party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, use all reasonable efforts to notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Force Majeure Event, and will also give the other party such other information about that Force Majeure Event as the other party may reasonably require.
(ii) Transferto Avoid Termination Event. If a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii) TwoAffected Parties. If a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice of such occurrence is given under Section 6(b)(i) to avoid that Termination Event.
| 11 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- | | (iv) | Right to Terminate. | | --- | --- | | (1) | If:- | | --- | --- |
(A) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
(B) a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there are two Affected Parties, or the Non-affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, if the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(2) If at any time an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has occurred and is then continuing and any applicable Waiting Period has expired:-
(A) Subject to clause (B) below, either party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party, designate ( I) a day not earlier than the day on which such notice becomes effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions or (II) by specifying in that notice the Affected Transactions in respect of which it is designating the relevant day as an Early Termination Date, a day not earlier than two Local Business Days following the day on which such notice becomes effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of less than all Affected Transactions. Upon receipt of a notice designating an Early Termination Date in respect of less than all Affected Transactions, the other party may, by notice to the designating party, if such notice is effective on or before the day so designated, designate that same day as an Early Termination Date in respect of any or all other Affected Transactions.
(B) An Affected Party (if the Illegality or Force Majeure Event relates to performance by such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party of an obligation to make any payment or delivery under, or to compliance with any other material provision of, the relevant Credit Support Document) will only have the right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A) as a result of an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2) or a Force Majeure Event under Section 5(b)(ii)(2) following the prior designation by the other party of an Early Termination Date, pursuant to Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A), in respect of less than all Affected Transactions.
| (c) | Effect of Designation. |
|---|
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or 6(b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 9(h)(i) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date will be determined pursuant to Sections 6(e) and 9(h)(ii).
| 12 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- | | (d) | Calculations; Payment Date. | | --- | --- |
(i) Statement On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement
(1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including any quotations, market data or information from internal sources used in making such calculations),
(2) specifying (except where there are two Affected Parties) any Early Termination Amount payable and
(3) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation or market data obtained in determining a Close-out Amount, the records of the party obtaining such quotation or market data will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation or market data.
(ii) PaymentDate. An Early Termination Amount due in respect of any Early Termination Date will, together with any amount of interest payable pursuant to Section 9(h)(ii)(2), be payable (1) on the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default and (2) on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (or, if there are two Affected Parties, after the day on which the statement provided pursuant to clause (i) above by the second party to provide such a statement is effective) in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event.
(e) Paymentson Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the amount, if any, payable in respect of that Early Termination Date (the “Early Termination Amount”) will be determined pursuant to this Section 6(e) and will be subject to Section 6(f).
(i) Eventsof Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default, the Early Termination Amount will be an amount equal to (1) the sum of (A) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative) determined by the Non-defaulting Party for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (2) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If the Early Termination Amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non- defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of the Early Termination Amount to the Defaulting Party.
| (ii) | Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:- |
|---|
(1) OneAffected Party. Subject to clause (3) below, if there is one Affected Party, the Early Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i), except that references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and to the Non-affected Party, respectively.
(2) TwoAffected Parties. Subject to clause (3) below, if there are two Affected Parties, each party will determine an amount equal to the Termination Currency Equivalent of the sum of the Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and the Early Termination Amount will be an amount equal to (A) the sum of
(I) one-half of the difference between the higher amount so determined (by party “X”) and the lower amount so determined (by party “Y”) and (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less
(B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y. If the Early Termination Amount is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of the Early Termination Amount to Y.
| 13 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
(3) Mid-MarketEvents. If that Termination Event is an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event, then the Early Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) above, as appropriate, except that, for the purpose of determining a Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts, the Determining Party will:-
(A) if obtaining quotations from one or more third parties (or from any of the Determining Party’s Affiliates), ask each third party or Affiliate (I) not to take account of the current creditworthiness of the Determining Party or any existing Credit Support Document and (II) to provide mid-market quotations; and
(B) in any other case, use mid-market values without regard to the creditworthiness of the Determining Party.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because Automatic Early Termination applies in respect of a party, the Early Termination Amount will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by applicable law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Adjustmentfor Illegality or Force Majeure Event The failure by a party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to pay, when due, any Early Termination Amount will not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1) if such failure is due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance which would, if it occurred with respect to payment, delivery or compliance related to a Transaction, constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event. Such amount will (1) accrue interest and otherwise be treated as an Unpaid Amount owing to the other party if subsequently an Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions and (2) otherwise accrue interest in accordance with Section 9(h)(ii)(2).
(v) PreEstimate. The parties agree that an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre- estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of the termination of the Terminated Transactions.
(f) Set-Off. Any Early Termination Amount payable to one party (the “Payee”) by the other party (the “Payer”), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or where there is one Affected Party in the case where either a Credit Event Upon Merger has occurred or any other Termination Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions has occurred, will, at the option of the Non-defaulting Party or the Non-affected Party, as the case may be (“X”) (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, as the case may be), be reduced by its set-off against any other amounts (“Other Amounts”) payable by the Payee to the Payer (whether or not arising under this Agreement, matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or place of booking of the obligation). To the extent that any Other Amounts are so set off, those Other Amounts will be discharged promptly and in all respects. X will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 6(f).
For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in which the other is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.
| 14 | **ISDA® 2002** |
| --- | --- |
If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained.
Nothing in this Section 6(f) will be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 6(f) will be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, offset, combination of accounts, lien, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled or subject (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
| 7. | Transfer |
|---|
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii) and to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:-
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any Early Termination Amount payable to it by a Defaulting Party, together with any amounts payable on or with respect to that interest and any other rights associated with that interest pursuant to Sections 8, 9(h) and 11.
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 7 will be void.
| 8. | Contractual Currency |
|---|
(a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.
(b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purpose of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
| 15 | **ISDA® 2002** |

(c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the indemnities in this Section 8 constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.
(d) Evidenceof Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.

If the Third Party Dealers fail to provide the information necessary for the Calculation Agent to calculate or determine the Final Determination by 4:00 p.m. three Local Business Days after the Dispute Notification Deadline, then the Original Determination shall be the Final Determination.
| (c) | Miscellaneous Provisions. Prior to the calculation or determination of the Final Determination, the<br> amount which is to be paid or delivered by either party shall be the full amount of the Original<br> Determination calculated or determined by the Calculation Agent. |
|---|

Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
The costs of the Third Party Dealers shall be paid by (i) the Disputing Party, if the Final Determination substantially agrees with the Original Determination, (ii) the Calculation Agent, if the Final Determination substantially agrees with the calculation or determination made by the Disputing Party, or (iii) both parties equally, if the Final Determination substantially agrees with neither the Original Determination nor the determination or calculation made by the Disputing Party.
| (d) | Notwithstanding<br> the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and has continued in respect of Party<br> A, then after three Local Business Days, the Calculation Agent shall be an independent leading<br> dealer selected by Party B.

Inspired Entertainment
Short-Term Incentive Bonus Plan
(adopted as of February 11, 2025)
| I. | PURPOSE |
|---|
The Inspired Entertainment fiscal year 2025 Short-Term Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to provide incentives to certain employees of Inspired Entertainment, Inc., its subsidiaries and its participating affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) to contribute to the success of the Company in its fiscal year commencing January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2025 (“2025”). The Plan offers eligible participants an opportunity to earn compensation in addition to their salaries and other incentives, based upon the performance of the Company and the satisfaction of individual performance targets determined for each eligible participant.
| II. | PLAN ADMINISTRATION |
|---|
The Plan has been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), and the Committee is responsible for administering the Plan. The Committee may delegate, on such terms and conditions as it may determine, certain authority and powers with respect to administration of the Plan to one or more directors serving on the Committee and/or to one or more officers or other personnel of the Company (including with respect to the participation of, and awards to, participants who are not executive officers of the Company). Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee will receive recommendations for 2025 from members of the Company’s Office of the Executive Chairman, or as may be otherwise determined by the Committee, with respect to the operation and management of the Plan for the year including recommendations for the selection of eligible participants, bonus opportunity levels, performance criteria, and the amount and timing of any bonus payments.
| III. | ELIGIBILITY |
|---|
The executives and other employees eligible for participation in the Plan will be determined by the Committee subject to Section II. Duly determined participants under the Plan are also referred to herein as “Covered Employees”. A determination that an employee is an eligible employee under the Plan with respect to 2025 shall not be determinative as to such employee’s eligibility with respect to any subsequent fiscal year.
Any bonus payment made under the Plan shall be purely discretionary and shall not form part of the employee’s contractual remuneration unless as may be otherwise set forth in an employment agreement or other contractual arrangement between the Company and an employee which has been approved by the Committee, in which instance the terms of such employment agreement or contractual arrangement shall prevail.
| 1 |
| --- |
An individual whose employment is terminated for any reason, or who is under notice of termination (whether given by the individual or the Company), in each case prior to the date on which bonus would otherwise be paid, will not be eligible to receive any payment under the Plan, unless as may be otherwise set forth in an employment agreement or other contractual arrangement between the Company and an employee which has been approved by the Committee, in which instance the terms of such employment agreement or contractual arrangement shall prevail.
If a person is hired for a position with the Company during 2025 and the position is within the category recommended to be eligible to receive a bonus under the Plan, that person may be eligible to receive a prorated portion of the annual bonus, as determined by the Committee, depending on the person’s particular position, subject to such other considerations as the Committee may determine.
| IV. | BONUS POTENTIAL |
|---|
The bonus potential for Covered Employees shall be determined for 2025, including applicable threshold, target and maximum bonus potential for the year. Bonus potential for 2025 will be based on a percentage of the Covered Employee’s base salary as of the beginning or end of the year, the prorated amount for the year or a fixed dollar amount, each as determined by the Committee. To the extent applicable, award opportunity levels corresponding to threshold, target and maximum levels of performance may vary by participant. The name and bonus potential of each Covered Employee will be set forth in a schedule to be approved by the Committee for 2025 (the “Bonus Potential Schedule”). The bonus potential set forth in the Bonus Potential Schedule may, at any time prior to payment of the bonus, be adjusted to reflect changes in the list of Covered Employees or to the bonus potential for Covered Employees (upward or downward), in the absolute discretion of the Committee as it deems appropriate, to reflect, without limitation, changes to a Covered Employee’s position, title, or responsibilities, or, as appropriate, to reflect a transformative transaction (as determined by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion).
| V. | PLAN COMPONENTS |
|---|
The performance targets applicable for 2025 have been approved and include Company performance targets. The weighting of the Plan components will also be established for 2025.
| A. | Company Performance Targets |
|---|
Bonuses are contingent upon the Company achieving specific Company performance targets as determined by the Committee with respect to each financial year (the “Company Performance Targets”). The following are examples of criteria that could be used to set Company Performance Targets and are not an exclusive list: (i) revenue; (ii) sales; (iii) profit (net profit, gross profit, operating profit, economic profit, profit margins or other corporate profit measures); (iv) earnings (which may include any calculation of earnings, including but not limited to earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and net earnings); (v) net income (before or after taxes, operating income or other income measures); (vi) cash (cash flow, cash generation or other cash measures); and (vii) stock price or performance; and (viii) total stockholder return. As determined by the Committee, the Company Performance Targets may be based on GAAP or non-GAAP results and any actual results may be adjusted by the Committee for one-time or exceptional items or unbudgeted or unexpected items when determining whether the performance goals have been met. In certain cases, the Office of the Executive Chairman may recommend to the Committee that an element of Bonus is a divisional, as opposed to a Company-wide, target.
The Office of the Executive Chairman shall recommend to the Committee the applicable Company Performance Targets for 2025. Such recommendations shall be subject to the review and approval by the Committee.
| 2 |
| --- | | B. | Individual Performance Targets | | --- | --- |
Even if the Company has fully achieved the Company Performance Targets, an individual participant’s bonus potential will be subject to an assessment of the individual’s achievement of individual performance targets, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The following are examples of criteria that could be used to set individual performance targets and are not an exclusive list: (i) budget management; (ii) cost of service; (iii) quality and service levels;
(iv) product line achievements; (v) leadership/team participation and support and (vi) adherence to and compliance with Company values and behaviors.
The Committee may, in its sole discretion and at any time, reduce or eliminate a Covered Employee’s award if it determines that such reduction or elimination is appropriate.
| VI. | TRANSFER/PROMOTION/DEMOTION |
|---|
If a Covered Employee is transferred to a new role during 2025, the Committee may, in its discretion, calculate the bonus payment for 2025 based on the base salary the Covered Employee received during the relevant portions of 2025 in each role at the applicable target percentage(s) for each role.
If a Covered Employee becomes ineligible for the Plan due to a transfer or demotion, the Covered Employee may be eligible to receive a prorated bonus based on the period of participation in the Plan, as determined by the Committee. Any such prorated bonus would be paid at the same time as other bonus payments under the Plan.
| VII. | PAYOUT AND TAXATION |
|---|
Bonus payments that are approved by the Committee for 2025 shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the delivery of the audit report issued by the Company’s independent public accountants with respect to the Company’s 2025 consolidated financial statements, subject to Section IX below, it being understood that payment shall be made in the ordinary course of business on or around March 15^th^ of the year immediately following the performance year for a bonus. Further, if the Committee determines that payment of bonuses would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern (in accordance with final regulations issued under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) or meet its banking covenants, bonuses may be reduced, eliminated or delayed (but only in the case of the Company being in jeopardy as a going concern. Payroll taxes shall be withheld from bonus payments as required by law. Bonus payments that Covered Employees receive are includable as income in the year in which they are paid.
| 3 |
| --- | | VIII. | INTEGRATION WITH BENEFIT PROGRAMS | | --- | --- |
Any bonus payment that a Covered Employee receives is not intended to be considered compensation for purposes of life assurance, 401(k) or any other pension plan, disability, holiday pay or any other benefit plan unless specified as such by the applicable plan document.
| IX. | CONDITIONS FOR RECEIVING PAYMENT |
|---|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Covered Employee whose employment is terminated for any reason, or who is under notice of termination (whether given by the individual or the Company) in both cases prior to the date on which bonus would otherwise be paid, shall not be eligible to receive a bonus payment under the Plan (e.g., a Covered Employee on garden leave on the date of payment will not be eligible for a bonus). However, the Committee retains the authority in its absolute discretion to make exceptions to the foregoing policy in unusual or meritorious cases including, but not limited to, approving a prorated bonus in the event of a Covered Employee’s death, disability, call to active military service, or retirement with the written consent of the Company.
| X. | CLAWBACK |
|---|
Each Covered Employee agrees as a condition of participation that the Company may recover some or all of the amounts paid under the Plan , or recoup some or all of such amounts via offset from other amounts owed to, or subsequently earned by, the Covered Employee from the Company or an affiliate, at any time during the three fiscal years following payment hereunder, if and to the extent that the Committee concludes that either (i) U.S. federal or state law, the laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Covered Employee has been employed by the Company during the fiscal year, or the listing requirements of the exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed for trading so require, (ii) the performance criteria required for the bonus payment were not met, or not met to the extent necessary to support the amount of the bonus payment that was paid, or (iii) as required by Section 304 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 954 of the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise after a restatement of the Company’s financial results as reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Covered. A Covered Employee shall not be permitted to participate in the Plan without first having consented in writing to be bound by the terms of the Clawback Policy, and agreed and acknowledged to being obligated to cooperate with and provide any and all assistance requested by the Company in its efforts to recover or recoup a payment made under the Plan or otherwise paid to the Covered Employee, any gains or earnings related to any such payment, or any other applicable compensation subject to clawback or recoupment pursuant to the Clawback Policy or any applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards that impose mandatory clawback or recoupment requirements. By accepting a bonus payment under this Plan, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Inspired Entertainment, Inc. Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), effective October 2, 2023, has reviewed and understands the Clawback Policy and that a bonus payment awarded hereunder is subject to the Clawback Policy to the extent that it meets the definition of “Incentive-Based Compensation” as defined under the Clawback Policy. Cooperation and assistance for purposes of this Section X shall include, but shall not be limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to facilitate the recovery or recoupment by the Company from the Covered Employee of any such amounts or other compensation, including from any other compensation received by the Covered Employee. Additionally, by accepting a bonus payment under this Plan, the Covered Employee acknowledges and agrees that no recovery under the Clawback Policy or otherwise will constitute an event that triggers or contributes to any right of the Covered Employee to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.
| 4 |
| --- | | XI. | LIMITATIONS AND/OR ADJUSTMENTS | | --- | --- |
The Company reserves the right to review, amend, suspend, withdraw and/or terminate the Plan, the incentive calculation formulas, performance targets and all other aspects of the Plan at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion and without prior notice.
A Covered Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not be construed as a contractual right or form part of his or her contractual remuneration under a services or employment agreement nor shall it be construed as a promise of continuing employment between the Company and the Covered Employee. Any bonus payment made in respect of any prior year is not indicative of any payments that may be made in subsequent fiscal years. Employment with the Company is terminable at will subject to the terms of any written services or employment agreement between the Company and the Covered Employee and applicable laws. Neither a Covered Employee’s employment with the Company, nor a Covered Employee’s employment within any particular category of employees, shall entitle the Covered Employee to either participate in the Plan or to be eligible to receive any bonus pursuant thereto. All determinations of eligibility and awards under the Plan shall be made by the Committee in its absolute discretion and may be revised or adjusted in accordance with the Plan.
| XII. | TAXES; SECTION 409A |
|---|
The Plan is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec 1.409A-1(b)(4). and shall be operated and interpreted consistent therewith. To the extent that any payment does not qualify as a short-term deferral or would cause the administration of the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of a short-term deferral, the Plan shall be administered consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation that the Plan complies with Section 409A of the Code and shall have no liability to any Participant for any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

InspiredEntertainment, Inc.
Non-EmployeeDirector Compensation Policy
(Updatedas of February 24, 2026)^1^
The following policy outlines the key terms of Inspired Entertainment’s Non-Employee Director compensation program:
AnnualRetainers
| Board Member Annual Retainer | Amount | |
|---|---|---|
| Board Member Cash | $ | 50,000 |
| Board Member Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) | $ | 100,000 |
| Additional Leadership Position Annual Retainers <br> (Paid 50% in Cash and 50% in RSUs) | Amount | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Audit Committee Chair | $ | 20,000 |
| Compensation Committee Chair | $ | 20,000 |
| Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee Chair | $ | 20,000 |
| Lead Independent Director | $ | 20,000 |
CashRetainers
All cash retainers will be provided in equal quarterly installments in arrears on January 1^st^, April 1^st^, July 1^st^, and October 1^st^ of each year (“Payment Dates”) provided that the Non-Employee Director is in service in the applicable role to such retainer on the applicable Payment Date. Payment is provided in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for service during the prior calendar quarter. If a Non-Employee Director serves for only a portion of a quarter (on the Board or in a Leadership Position, as described above), the applicable retainer shall be pro-rated based on the number of days served.
RSURetainers
Annual RSU retainers will be granted on the first trading day in January. The number of RSUs subject to each annual RSU retainer will be equal to the dollar value of the award as shown in the table above, divided by the twenty trading day average closing price of the Common Stock before the date of grant (rounded down to the nearest whole share).
Each annual RSU retainer will vest in substantially equal quarterly installments on the grant date and on April 1^st^, July 1^st^, and October 1^st^ of each year (“Quarterly Vesting Dates”) provided that the Non-Employee Director is in service in the applicable role to such retainer on the applicable Quarterly Vesting Dates.
^1^ Includes revisions to the RSU retainer provisions which were approved on November 11, 2025.
Non-Employee Directors appointed to the Board or to a Leadership Position after the first trading day in January will receive a pro-rated portion of the applicable annual RSU retainer (based on the number of days remaining in such calendar year) on the effective date of the appointment. The first installment will vest on the effective date of the appointment, with the number of RSUs vesting in such first installment equal to (x) the pro-rated number of RSUs awarded for the partial year of service, less (y) an amount equal to ¼ of the full (non-pro-rated) number of RSUs that would have been awarded for a full (non-prorated) year of service (determined as if the full award had been granted on the effective date of the appointment), multiplied by the number of Quarterly Vesting Dates remaining in the calendar year. The remaining installments (if any) will vest in substantially equal installments on the remaining Quarterly Vesting Dates, provided that the Non-Employee Director is in service in the applicable role to such retainer on the applicable Quarterly Vesting Dates. For example, if a Non-Employee Director is appointed to the Board on May 1^st^ and the applicable stock price on the date of appointment is $10, he or she would receive the following:
| 1. | Pro-rated<br> Board Member RSU retainer = 6,712 RSUs ($100,000/$10 times 245/365) |
|---|---|
| 2. | First<br> installment vesting on the date of appointment = 1,712 RSUs (determined as shown below): |
| --- | --- |
| a. | the<br> pro-rated RSU retainer = 6,712 RSUs, less |
| --- | --- |
| b. | the<br> full (non-pro-rated) RSU retainer amount divided by four (4), multiplied by the number of<br> Quarterly Vesting Dates remaining in the calendar year = 10,000 RSUs / 4 x 2 remaining Quarterly<br> Vesting Dates = 5,000 RSUs |
| --- | --- |
| c. | First installment amount that vests = 1,712 RSUs (6,712 RSUs - 5,000 RSUs) |
| --- | --- |
| 3. | Remaining<br> installments vest in equal installments of 2,500 RSUs on the remaining Quarterly Vesting<br> Dates (i.e., July 1^st^ and October 1^st^) |
| --- | --- |
RSUs are settled in shares of stock and delivered to Non-Employee Directors as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date, unless subject to a deferral election by a Non-Employee Director. Non-Employee Directors may irrevocably elect to defer the receipt of 100% of RSUs for a given service year until termination of Board service. Such deferral elections must be submitted in a written deferral election notice by the Non-Employee Director to the Company (which notice shall be in a form prescribed by the Company) by December 31^st^ of the year preceding the service year. Newly appointed directors may elect to defer settlement of RSU awards granted in the year of appointment, provided that the deferral election is made prior to commencement of service.
Upon a Change-in-Control, all unvested RSUs will vest in full and all unsettled RSUs will immediately be settled.
If a Non-Employee Director’s service as a member of the Board (or an applicable Leadership Position) terminates for any reason, unvested RSUs held on the date of termination will be forfeited; provided, that if the termination of service is for “Cause” (as defined in the Non-Employee Director’s applicable award agreement), the full number of RSUs that were granted to the Non-Employee Director (whether or not vested or settled) in the year in which the termination for Cause occurs shall immediately terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of such termination.
Expenses
Each Non-Employee Director will be eligible for reimbursement from the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her duties as a Non-Employee Director, always subject to any reimbursement policies then in place.
