Although we believe industry information to be accurate, it is not independently verified by us and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of that information. In general, we believe there is less publicly available information concerning the international gaming, social and digital gaming industries than the same industries in the U.S.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, amounts in USD, table amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

We are a leading cross-platform global game company with a focus on content and digital markets. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities in our continuing operations primarily includes supplying game content and gaming machines, CMSs and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing social casino and other mobile games to retail customers, including casual gaming; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital RMG, distribution platforms, content, products and services to various gaming entities. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities in the discontinued operations primarily has included providing instant and draw‑based lottery products, lottery systems and lottery content and services to lottery operators along with providing sports wagering solutions to various gaming entities.

We report our results of continuing operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures included herein relate to our continuing operations.

Effective April 28, 2022, we changed our name to Light & Wonder, Inc. This change is in part due to the sale of the Lottery Business that will continue to use our previous name, Scientific Games, and also to align with our vision of becoming the leading cross-platform global game company.

On September 27, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Sports Betting Business to Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endeavor”) in a cash and stock transaction. On June 30, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the agreement, under which the cash consideration was reduced from $1,000 million to $750 million and the stock consideration was reduced from approximately 7.6 million shares of Endeavor Class A common stock (valued at approximately $200 million as of the date of the purchase agreement) to approximately 2.3 million shares of Endeavor Class A common stock (valued at approximately $50 million as of the date of the amendment and based on the volume weighted average price of Endeavor Class A common stock in the twenty days before the date of the amendment). The amendment additionally waives the closing condition requiring regulatory approval by the Nevada Gaming Control Board and extends the agreement date to December 30, 2022 if certain conditions to closing are not met by September 27, 2022. The sale of the Sports Betting Business is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

During the second quarter of 2022, we completed the previously announced divestiture of the Lottery Business and received $5.7 billion in gross cash proceeds.

We have reflected the financial results of these businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and reflected the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets, for all periods presented and until the completion of disposition of these businesses. Refer to Note 2 for further information.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2021 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2021 10-K.

Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income Attributable to L&W Per Share

Basic and diluted net income attributable to L&W per share is based upon net income attributable to L&W divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of

the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive to net income from continuing operations.

Basic and diluted net income attributable to L&W per share were the same for all periods presented as all common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. We excluded 2 million of stock options and 2 million of RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2022 from the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. We excluded 2 million of stock options and 3 million of RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2021 from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Acquisitions

SciPlay Acquisition of Alictus Yazilim Anonim Şirketi (“Alictus”)

On March 1, 2022, SciPlay acquired 80% of all issued and outstanding share capital of privately held Alictus, a Turkey-based hyper-casual game studio for approximately $106 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired. The remaining 20% will be acquired ratably for potential additional consideration payable annually based upon the achievement of specified revenue and earnings targets by Alictus during each of the five years following the acquisition date. Any future payments associated with the acquisition of the remaining 20% will represent a redeemable non-controlling interest, with a minimum payout of $0 million and a maximum payout of $200 million. The Alictus acquisition expands SciPlay’s business in the casual gaming market, growing its game pipeline and diversifying its revenue streams as it advances its strategy to be a diversified global game developer.

Playzido Limited (“Playzido”)

In April 2022, we acquired Playzido, a dynamic content creation platform provider and game supplier, which is expected to accelerate the pace at which we can partner with game studios and operators to expand our iGaming content offering.

We accounted for these acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, allocating the total consideration transferred to acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and resulting goodwill are subject to adjustment as we finalize our purchase price accounting. The following table summarizes an aggregate disclosure related to the acquisitions above and is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2022:

Total Consideration Cash paid, net of cash acquired(1) Contingent consideration/Redeemable non-controlling interest(2) Allocation of purchase price to Intangible assets, net(3) Weighted average useful life of acquired intangible assets Excess purchase price allocated to Goodwill(4)
$ 113 $ 25 $ 40 6 Years $ 101
(1) Exclusive of 6 million acquired in short term investments.
(2) Fair values were determined using an income approach primarily based on reaching certain revenue and earnings-based metrics, with discount rates ranging between 2% and 16% and a maximum payout of up to 213 million.
(3) Intangible assets primarily consist of intellectual property, consisting of games technology and content platforms, and trade names. The fair value of these intangible assets was determined using an income approach method and level 3 inputs in the hierarchy as established by ASC 820. The discount rates used in the valuation analyses ranged between 16% and 18%. Royalty rates used for the trade names as well as acquired game content and related technology ranged between 1% and 3% and 20% and 21%, respectively.
(4) The factors contributing to the recognition of acquisition goodwill are based on game portfolio and platform diversification, expected synergies, assembled workforce and other strategic benefits. None of the resultant goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

All values are in US Dollars.

The revenue and earnings associated with the above acquisitions are immaterial to our current and historical consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Guidance - Not Yet Adopted

The FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 and subsequently ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) in March 2020 and January 2021, respectively. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, including derivative instruments impacted by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows for computing variable margin settlements, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued by June 2023. The ASUs establish certain contract modification principles that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and certain elective hedge accounting expedients and exceptions. The ASUs may be applied prospectively. Based on our preliminary assessment completed to date, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

(2) Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2022, we completed the previously announced divestiture of the Lottery Business, received $5.7 billion in gross cash proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of the Lottery Business of $4.6 billion.

We have reflected the financial results of the Lottery Business and Sports Betting Business as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and reflected the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets, for all periods presented and until the completion of disposition of these businesses.

The summarized results of our discontinued operations were as follows:

Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2022 2021

Due to the discontinued operations classification of these businesses as of the third quarter of 2021, the D&A for these businesses has ceased and none was included for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The three and six months ended June 30, 2022 also include 78 million related to direct transaction closing fees.

All values are in US Dollars.

(1) Gaming operations revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 benefited from 38 million and 44 million U.K. FOBT VAT recovery (the “VAT recovery”) received from certain U.K. customers related to a 2020 U.K. court ruling associated with overcharging of value-added tax for gaming operators that consequently reduced our net gaming revenues related to these customers and arrangements.
(2) Other primarily represents revenue generated from providing advertising platforms with access to SciPlay’s game software platform, which facilitates the placement of advertising inventory, which was not material in the periods presented.

All values are in US Dollars.

The amount of rental income revenue that is outside the scope of ASC 606 was $118 million and $231 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $119 million and $182 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Contract Liabilities and Other Disclosures

The following table summarizes the activity in our contract liabilities for the reporting period:

Liabilities recognized during the period 6
Amounts recognized in revenue from beginning balance (11)
Contract liability balance, end of period(1) $ 32
(1) Contract liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on our consolidated balance sheets. Other than contracts with customers with financing arrangements exceeding 12 months, revenue recognition is generally proximal to conversion to cash. The following table summarizes our balances in these accounts for the periods indicated (other than contract liabilities disclosed above):

Receivables Contract Assets(1)
Beginning of period balance $ 440 $ 19
End of period balance, June 30, 2022 430 26
(1) Contract assets are included primarily within Prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have material unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be long-term or contracts for which we recognize revenue at an amount other than for which we have the right to invoice for goods or services delivered or performed.

(4) Business Segments

We report our operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. A detailed discussion regarding the products and services from which each reportable business segment derives its revenue is included in Notes 3 and 4 in our 2021 10-K.

Receivables, net $ 430 $ 22 $ 440 $ 56

Account balances are charged against the allowances after all internal and external collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

The activity in our allowance for receivable credit losses for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

2022 2021
Total U.S. and Canada International Total

As of June 30, 2022, 5% of our total receivables, net, were past due by over 90 days compared to 13% as of December 31, 2021.

Credit Quality of Receivables

We have certain concentrations of outstanding receivables in international locations that impact our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. We monitor the macroeconomic and political environment in each of these locations in our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. The international customers with significant concentrations (generally deemed to be exceeding 10%) of our receivables with terms longer than one year are primarily in the Latin America region (“LATAM”) and are primarily comprised of Mexico, Peru and Argentina. The following table summarizes our LATAM receivables:

As of June 30, 2022
Total Current or Not Yet Due Balances Over 90 days Past Due
Receivables $ 78 $ 40 $ 38
Allowance for credit losses (25) (14) (11)
Receivables, net $ 53 $ 26 $ 27

We continuously review receivables and as information concerning credit quality arise, reassess our expectations of future losses and record an incremental reserve if warranted at that time. Our current allowance for credit losses represents our current expectation of credit losses; however future expectations could change as international unrest or other macro-economic factors impact the financial stability of our customers.

The fair value of receivables is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of receivables, net, approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms of receivables generally being less than 24 months.

April 2022 Refinancing

On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with other principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April 2022, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions.

As a part of these transactions, we entered into the new credit agreements, which contains the following debt facilities:

•$2,200 million new term loan facility maturing in April 2029. The new term loan facility will bear interest at either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 3.00% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 2.00% per annum. The new term loan facility amortizes in quarterly installments in aggregate amounts of equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount per year; and

•$750 million revolving credit facility maturing in April 2027. The new revolving credit facility will bear interest at either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (or an alternative benchmark rate for non-US dollar borrowings) plus 2.00% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 1.00% per annum, with one 0.25% per annum step-up and one 0.25% per annum step-down based on SGI’s first lien net leverage ratio at the end of future fiscal quarters.

With the issuance of the new term loan facility and using the proceeds from the divestiture of the Lottery Business (see Note 1), we retired and redeemed the following outstanding debt and paid accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus related premiums, fees and expenses:

The new credit facilities are subject to customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants as well as a financial covenant. The financial covenant is solely for the benefit of the new revolving facility, is tested at the end of each fiscal quarter if the outstanding borrowings (excluding up to $5 million of undrawn letters of credit and any cash collateralized letters of credit) under the new revolving facility exceed 30% of the commitments under the new revolving facility, and requires that the Company not be in excess of a maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00.

We were in compliance with the financial covenants under all debt agreements as of June 30, 2022 (for information regarding our financial covenants of all debt agreements, see Note 15 in our 2021 10-K).

Loss on Debt Refinancing Transactions

The following are components of the loss on debt financing transactions resulting from debt extinguishment and modification accounting for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. No such transactions occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

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, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are described below.

Derivative Financial Instruments

As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, we held the following derivative instruments that were accounted for pursuant to ASC 815:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

We used interest rate swap contracts as described below to mitigate gains or losses associated with the change in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt.

In February 2018, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we pay. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. We paid interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.4418% and received interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $800 million. These hedges matured in February 2022.

In April 2022, we entered into new interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we pay. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. We pay interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.8320% and receive interest at a variable rate equal to one-month CME Term SOFR. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $700 million as of June 30, 2022. These hedges mature in April 2027.

All gains and losses from these hedges were recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the future underlying payment transactions occur. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the hedges were recognized (together with the hedged transaction) as Interest expense. We estimated the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts by discounting the future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments based on market yield curves. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as established by ASC 820.

The following table shows the Gain (loss) and Interest expense recognized on our interest rate swap contracts:

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021
Gain recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax $ 2 $ 4 $ 5 $ 9
Interest expense recorded related to interest rate swap contracts 3 4 6 9

We do not expect to reclassify material amounts from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in the next twelve months.

The following table shows the effect of interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges in the consolidated statements of operations:

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps

We entered into certain cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to achieve more beneficial interest rates by effectively converting $460 million of our fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated 2025 Secured Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments through October 2023, to fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt, with a fixed annual weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.946%. We designated these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in our operating results caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar.

We used the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the fair value of the $460 million cross-currency interest rate swaps was reported in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The cross-currency basis spread (along with other components of the cross-currency swap’s fair value excluded from the spot method effectiveness assessment) were amortized and recorded to Interest expense. We evaluated the effectiveness of our net investment hedge at the beginning of each quarter.

In April 2022 and as a result of the April 2022 Refinancing, we settled our cross-currency interest rate swaps and received approximately $50 million in cash proceeds.

The following table shows the fair value of our hedges:

All values are in US Dollars.

Net Investment Non-derivative Hedge — 2026 Secured Euro Notes

As a result of the April 2022 Refinancing described above, we redeemed all of 2026 Secured Euro Notes and no longer have a designated net investment hedge.

Contingent Acquisition Consideration Liabilities

In connection with our acquisitions, we have recorded certain contingent consideration liabilities (including redeemable non-controlling interest), of which the values are primarily based on reaching certain earnings-based metrics. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates as a part of the consideration transferred and are remeasured each reporting period (other than for redeemable non-controlling interest, which is measured based on its redemption value). The inputs used to measure the fair value of our liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below reconciles the change in the contingent acquisition consideration liabilities (including deferred purchase price) for the period from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022.

Stock Based Compensation

The following reflects total stock-based compensation expense recognized under all programs in our continuing operations:

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021
Related to L&W stock options $ 1 $ 16 $ 1 $ 22
Related to L&W RSUs 15 17 27 28
Related to SciPlay RSUs 1 3 4 5
Total $ 17 $ 36 $ 32 $ 55

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of the changes in RSUs outstanding under our equity-based compensation plans during the three months ended June 30, 2022 is presented below:

Number of Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested RSUs as of December 31, 2021 2.7 $ 32.03
Granted 1.5 $ 58.30
Vested (1.7) $ 38.08
Cancelled (0.3) $ 33.87
Unvested RSUs as of June 30, 2022 2.2 $ 45.17

The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $58.30 and $53.37, respectively. The fair value of each RSU grant is based on the market value of our common stock at the time of grant. As of June 30, 2022, we had $73 million in total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to unvested RSUs that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years, of which $5 million related to employees of discontinued operations. The fair value at vesting date of RSUs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $62.4 million and $42.4 million, respectively.

Share Repurchase Programs

As described in Note 17 within our 2021 10-K and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $203 million and an average of $55.39 per share.

On May 9, 2022, SciPlay’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 9, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, SciPlay repurchased 0.5 million shares of Class A common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $7 million and an average of $13.76 per share.

(14) Income Taxes

We consider new evidence (both positive and negative) at each reporting date that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We evaluate information such as historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in our analysis. Based on the available evidence, valuation allowances in certain U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions remain consistent as of June 30, 2022.

Our income tax expense (including discrete items) was $1 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $6 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. In 2022, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of not benefiting year to date losses in continuing operations in accordance with the intra-period tax expense/benefit allocation rules as generally prescribed under ASC 740-20. In all periods, we recorded tax expense relative to pre-tax earnings in jurisdictions without valuation allowances, including our 19% noncontrolling interest in SciPlay.

The divestiture of the Lottery Business is estimated to generate approximately $665 million of net cash taxes, after considering the utilization of tax attributes.

(15) Leases

Our total operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $4 million and $10 million, respectively, and $5 million and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The total amount of variable and short-term lease payments was immaterial for all periods presented.

Supplemental balance sheet and cash flow information related to operating leases is as follows:

As of
June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021
Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 51 $ 51
Accrued liabilities 16 16

Operating leases $ 9 $ 17 $ 14 $ 11 $ 7 $ 3 $ (5) $ 56

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have material additional operating leases that have not yet commenced.

(16) Litigation

We are involved in various legal proceedings, which are described in Note 20 within our 2021 10-K. There have been no material changes to these matters since the 2021 10-K was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, except as described below.

We record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated (although, as discussed below, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the accrued liability). We evaluate our accruals for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect (1) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments, (2) the advice and analyses of counsel and (3) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with our legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We had accrued liabilities of $27 million for all of our legal matters that were contingencies both as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Substantially all of our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Consequently, the ultimate outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued. We may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses for some matters pending against us or our subsidiaries, even when the amount of damages claimed against us or our subsidiaries is stated because, among other things: (1) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (2) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (3) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (4) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (5) the matter may not have progressed sufficiently through discovery or there

may be significant factual or legal issues to be resolved or developed; and/or (6) there may be uncertainty as to the enforceability of legal judgments and outcomes in certain jurisdictions. Other matters have progressed sufficiently that we are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For those legal contingencies disclosed in Note 20 in our 2021 10-K and this Note 16 as well as those related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement entered into in February 2015 with SNAI S.p.a., as to which a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is up to approximately $13 million in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) related to those legal contingencies. This aggregate range represents management’s estimate of additional possible loss in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) with respect to these matters based on currently available information, including any damages claimed by the plaintiffs, and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and inherent uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, management may have only preliminary, incomplete, or inaccurate information about the facts underlying a claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties, regulators, indemnitors or co‑defendants, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that management had not accounted for in its estimate because it had considered that outcome to be remote. Furthermore, as noted above, the aggregate range does not include any matters for which we are not able to estimate a range of possible loss. Accordingly, the estimated aggregate range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The legal proceedings underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

Colombia litigation

Our subsidiary, SGI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under a contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successors, “Ecosalud”), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, SGI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5.0 million if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, SGI delivered to Ecosalud a $4.0 million surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech’s exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, 1993.

In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, SGI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. SGI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the “Tribunal”), which upheld both resolutions. SGI appealed each decision to the Council of State. In May 2012, the Council of State upheld the contract default resolution, which decision was notified to us in August 2012. In October 2013, the Council of State upheld the liquidation resolution, which decision was notified to us in December 2013.

In July 1996, Ecosalud filed a lawsuit against SGI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asserting many of the same claims asserted in the Colombia proceedings, including breach of contract, and seeking damages. In March 1997, the District Court dismissed Ecosalud’s claims. Ecosalud appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision in 1998.

In June 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against SGI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In May 2013, the Tribunal denied SGI’s merit defenses to the collection proceeding and issued an order of payment of approximately 90 billion Colombian pesos, or approximately $30.2 million, plus default interest (potentially accrued since 1994 at a 12% statutory interest rate). SGI filed an appeal to the Council of State, and on December 10, 2020, the Council of State issued a ruling affirming the Tribunal’s decision. On December 16, 2020, SGI filed a motion for clarification of the Council of State’s ruling, which was denied on April 15, 2021. On April 22, 2021, SGI filed a motion for reconsideration relating to that decision, which the Council of State denied on February 21, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the case was transferred from the Council of State to the Tribunal for further proceedings.

SGI believes it has various defenses, including on the merits, against Ecosalud’s claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and we cannot assure that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability.

Tonkawa Tribe Matter

On September 3, 2020, the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma d/b/a Tonkawa Enterprises filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada against SGC, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. On October 5, 2020, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint to add Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and the Umpqua Indian Development Corp., d/b/a Seven Feathers Casino as a plaintiff. On October 26, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for card shufflers sold or leased to regulated casinos in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all regulated United States casinos directly leasing or purchasing card shufflers from the defendants on or after April 1, 2009. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On November 19, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ second amended complaint or, in the alternative, to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ claims. On November 20, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking a finding that defendants are collaterally estopped from re-litigating issues litigated in the 2018 litigation versus Shuffle Tech International Corp., Aces Up Gaming, and Poydras-Talrick Holdings. On August 27, 2021, the Nevada district court entered an order transferring the lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ individual claims; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice as moot. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino Matter

On September 4, 2020, Alfred T. Giuliano, as liquidation trustee for RIH Acquisition NJ, LLC d/b/a The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against SGC, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the Defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On September 8, 2020, Rancho’s Club Casino, Inc., d/b/a Magnolia House Casino filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against SGC, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiff asserts federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.

On October 29, 2020, the trial court consolidated the Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino matters. On October 30, 2020, the plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a first amended consolidated complaint. On November 9, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ first amended consolidated complaint, and also filed a motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano’s individual claims. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice. On May 31, 2022, defendants filed a motion to lift the stay of the lawsuit for the limited purpose of amending the court’s May 19, 2022 order to confirm that plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano must proceed to arbitration on an individual basis rather than a class-wide basis. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the consolidated lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Casino Queen Matter

On April 2, 2021, Casino Queen, Inc. and Casino Queen Marquette, Inc. filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against SGC, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the

market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiffs’ costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On June 11, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint, which the court denied on May 19, 2022. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Mohawk Gaming Enterprises Matter

On November 9, 2020, Mohawk Gaming Enterprises LLC, d/b/a Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, filed a demand for a putative class arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against SGC, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. (“Respondents”). In the complaint, the claimant asserts federal antitrust claims arising from the respondents’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The claimant alleges that the respondents used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The claimant seeks to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the respondents, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the arbitration panel to treble, and the award of claimant’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees. Respondents filed their answering statement on December 9, 2020. On October 29, 2021, the claimant filed a memorandum in support of class arbitration, which Respondents opposed on December 3, 2021. On February 8, 2022, the Arbitrator issued a clause construction award, finding that the arbitration could proceed on behalf of a class or classes. On February 11, 2022, Respondents filed a petition to vacate the award in the New York Supreme Court. On April 15, 2022, Respondents filed a motion to dismiss the claimant’s complaint, which the Arbitrator denied on July 26, 2022. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Recent Events

•Re-branding - On April 18, 2022, we changed our name to “Light & Wonder, Inc.”

•April 2022 Refinancing - On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with the principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions. This is a major milestone in transforming and deleveraging our balance sheet (see Note 11 for additional information).

•Lottery Divestiture - During the second quarter of 2022, we completed the divestiture of the Lottery Business and received $5.7 billion of gross cash proceeds.

•Sports Divestiture - On June 30, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the agreement to sell our Sports Betting Business to Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endeavor”), under which we are expected to receive $750 million in cash and an estimated $50 million in Endeavor Class A common stock, based on the volume weighted average price of such stock in the twenty days before the date of the amendment, or total gross proceeds of $800 million. The amendment also increases the speed and certainty of closing by modifying the conditions for closing, including Endeavor’s agreement to waive the closing condition requiring regulatory approval by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The sale of the Sports Betting Business is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other customary conditions (see Note 1).

•Share Repurchases - Since the initiation of the program on March 3, 2022 and through June 30, 2022, we returned $203 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of 3.7 million shares of common stock.

•Acquisitions - In March 2022, SciPlay acquired Alictus, a Turkey-based hyper-casual game studio that expands the SciPlay business in the casual gaming market for approximately $106 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired. In April 2022, we acquired Playzido, a dynamic content creation platform provider and game supplier, which is expected to accelerate the pace at which we can partner with game studios and operators to expand our iGaming content offering. For additional details regarding these acquisitions, see Note 1.

Impact of COVID-19

While the COVID-19 pandemic had impacted our operating results during the first half of 2021, the operating results substantially recovered during the second half of 2021 due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, such as social distancing and mask mandates. We continue to see fluctuations in infection rates and regulations for various regions along with ongoing domestic and international travel restrictions or warnings, social distancing measures, reduced operating capacity and an overall economic and general uncertainty regarding the magnitude and length of time that these disruptions will continue. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted supply chains in numerous industries, causing shortages of inputs/outputs, which in turn put inflationary pressures on the economy as a whole. Inflationary pressures may have an impact on discretionary income as people allocate more of their disposable income toward higher priced necessity goods and services, which could impact our customers. These circumstances may change in the future and such changes could be material.

Foreign Exchange

Our results are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates used in the translation of foreign functional currencies into USD and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions or balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. Our exposure to foreign currency volatility on revenue is as follows:

sgms-20220630_g2.jpgsgms-20220630_g3.jpg

The increase in Gaming revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the continued rebounding of operations since the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on 2021 comparable results, which was driven by continued increases in demand for our products and services. We are seeing continued growth and strength within our Gaming business segment. Gaming operations revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 benefited from $38 million and $44 million, respectively, due to the VAT recovery received from certain U.K. customers. The VAT recovery is related to a 2020 U.K. court ruling, associated with overcharging of value-added tax for previous services rendered to gaming operators and consequently reduced our net gaming revenue related to these customers and arrangements.

SciPlay revenue increased for both periods primarily as a result of an increase in advertising revenue following the Alictus acquisition in the first quarter of 2022 as well as an increase in average monthly paying users and higher payer conversion rate.

The increase in iGaming revenue of 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by growth in the U.S. from the strength of our original content coupled with revenue related to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2021. The prior year revenue benefited from increased player activity and turnover during COVID-19 lockdowns and social restrictions and was adversely impacted by new regulations introduced in certain European countries. Current year periods were negatively impacted by unfavorable impact of foreign-currency translation due to strengthening U.S. Dollar.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased as a direct result of higher revenue as described above, driven by $25 million and $56 million, respectively, in higher cost of product revenue primarily associated with higher gaming machine sales.

SG&A

SG&A remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, as lower stock-based compensation expense was mostly offset by higher user acquisition costs in the SciPlay segment. SG&A increased for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits in the Gaming and SciPlay segments as a result of increased employee headcount in order to support operations returning to higher activity levels, coupled with higher SciPlay user acquisition costs, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense.

R&D

The increase in R&D for both periods was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits in the Gaming and SciPlay segments as a result of increased employee headcount in order to support operations returning to higher activity levels, coupled with investments supporting ongoing growth.

D&A

The increase in D&A was primarily due to approximately $17 million and $33 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, related to accelerated amortization of certain of our legacy trade names triggered by corporate wide re-branding (see Note 11 in our 2021 10-K for further details), which was partially offset by fully depreciated assets related to prior acquisitions, net of 2021 acquisitions.

Restructuring and Other

The increase in restructuring and other in both periods was primarily due to higher professional services, legal and other charges related to strategic review including the divestitures (see Note 5). The current year periods also include $12 million related to contingent consideration remeasurement charges (see Note 12).

Discontinued Operations

As described in Note 1, we completed the divestiture of the Lottery Business on May 19, 2022, and received $5.7 billion in gross cash proceeds. As a result of the divestiture, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of Lottery Business of $4.6 billion.

Revenue of $51 million and $339 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, decreased compared to revenue of $299 million and $575 million for the corresponding prior periods, primarily due to lower revenue from the Lottery Business as a result of its sale in the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by higher revenue from the Sports Betting Business due to its continued growth and expansion in the U.S. sports-betting market. The gain on sale of Lottery Business drove the increase in net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, to $3,445 million and $3,540 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from $164 million and $243 million for the corresponding prior periods, partially offset by the decrease in revenue and D&A (since no D&A was recorded for assets held for sale in the first half of 2022). Refer to Note 2 for further information on our discontinued operations.

See “Business Segments Results” below for a more detailed explanation of the significant changes in our components of revenue within the individual segment results of operations.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS RESULTS (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021)

GAMING

Our Gaming business segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of gaming content, products and services. We provide our Gaming portfolio of products and services to commercial casinos, Native American casinos, wide-area gaming operators such as LBOs, arcade and bingo operators in the U.K. and continental Europe, and government agencies and their affiliated operators.

We generate Gaming revenue from both services and product sales. Our services revenue includes revenue earned from Participation gaming machines, other leased gaming machines (including VLTs and electronic table games), supplied table products and services (including Shufflers), casino management technology solutions and systems, and other services revenues. Our product sales revenue includes the sale of new and used gaming machines, electronic table games, VLTs and VGTs, casino-management technology solutions and systems, table products, proprietary table game licensing, conversion kits (including game, hardware or operating system conversions) and spare parts.

For additional information, refer to the Gaming primary business activities summary included within “Business Segment Results” under Item 7 of our 2021 10-K.

Current Year Update

We continue to see an increase in the demand for our Gaming products and services as the gaming market continues to rebound from the previously lifted COVID-19 restrictions, causing our casino and gaming operations to return to pre-COVID levels. Increase in Gaming revenue was primarily driven by Gaming operations, which continued to exceed 2019 comparative periods due to higher installed base and average daily revenue per unit, coupled with higher gaming machine sales. We continue to experience some supply chain challenges that could impact our ability to meet demand for our products and delay the timing of fulfillment of these orders and consequently the timing of revenue recognition.

Gaming Operations

Gaming operations revenue for both current year periods demonstrated strong growth, which exceeded 2019 levels as a result of strong product performance and increased market share. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included VAT recovery of $38 million and $44 million, respectively, as described in the Consolidated Results – Revenue section above. Gaming operations for U.S. and Canada had an 871-unit increase in installed base, along with increases in average daily revenue per unit of $1.28 and $4.02 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as we continue to see rebounding in demand since the COVID-19-induced business disruptions. This also impacted the average daily revenue per unit for the International units, which increased by $5.19 and $7.96 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. International ending installed base decreased by 2,446-units primarily due to the closure of certain LBOs in the U.K. along with the reduction of some underperforming units in Latin America and certain low yield operations in Greece.

Gaming Machine Sales

Gaming machine sales revenue increased primarily due to higher sales of replacement units both in U.S and Canada and internationally along with a higher average sales price per new unit. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

on the prior year period as described above, resulted in lower unit shipments in the prior year periods. The following table summarizes Gaming machine sales changes:

Operating Expenses and AEBITDA

Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $46 million and $100 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, primarily due to (1) $25 million and $56 million, respectively, in higher cost of revenue associated with the increase in revenue as described above, (2) $9 million and $17 million, respectively, in higher D&A primarily driven by accelerated amortization of legacy trade names, which were partially offset by fully depreciated assets related to prior acquisitions, and (3) $13 million and $27 million, respectively, in higher SG&A and R&D costs.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, AEBITDA and AEBITDA as a percentage of revenue (“AEBITDA margin”) decreased by $15 million and 7 percentage points to $179 million and 46%, respectively, as the prior year period benefited from $38 million revenue due to the VAT recovery as described in the Consolidated Results – Revenue section above.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, AEBITDA increased by $49 million to $350 million as compared to the prior year period, and AEBITDA margin decreased 2 percentage points to 47% for the same comparative periods. These results were driven by strong growth in gaming operations, gaming machine sales, systems and table games businesses and were partially offset by the increased costs in the current year period and benefit of $44 million revenue related to the VAT recovery in the prior year period as described above.

SCIPLAY

Our SciPlay business segment is a leading developer and publisher of digital games on mobile and web platforms. SciPlay operates in the social gaming market, which is characterized by gameplay online, on mobile phones or on tablets, that are social and competitive, and self-directed in pace and session length; as well as the hyper-casual space, which is characterized by simpler core loops and more repetitive gameplay than casual games. SciPlay generates a substantial portion of its revenue from in-app purchases in the form of coins, chips and cards, which players can use to play slot games, table games or bingo games. SciPlay also generates additional revenue, in the hyper-casual space, from the receipt of advertising revenue. Players who install SciPlay’s games typically receive free coins, chips or cards upon the initial launch of the game and additional free coins, chips or cards at specific time intervals. Players may exhaust the coins, chips or cards that they receive for free and may choose to purchase additional coins, chips or cards in order to extend their time of game play. Once obtained, coins, chips and cards (either free or purchased) cannot be redeemed for cash nor exchanged for anything other than game play within SciPlay’s apps. Players who install SciPlay’s hyper-casual games receive free, unlimited gameplay that requires viewing of periodic in-game advertisements.

SciPlay currently offers a variety of social casino games, including Jackpot Party® Casino, Gold Fish® Casino, Quick Hit® Slots, 88 Fortunes® Slots, MONOPOLY Slots, and Hot Shot Casino®. Our SciPlay business segment continues to pursue its strategy of expanding into the casual games market. Current casual game titles include Bingo Showdown®, Solitaire Pets™ Adventure, and Backgammon Live as well as many titles in the hyper-casual space through our recent acquisition of Alictus,

including games such as Candy Challenge 3D™, Boss Life™ and Deep Clean Inc. 3D™. SciPlay currently plans to launch an additional casual game and a number of hyper-casual games in 2022. SciPlay’s social casino games typically include slots-style game play and occasionally include table games-style game play, while its casual games blend solitaire-style or bingo game play with adventure game features and its hyper-casual games include many simple core loop mechanics. All of SciPlay’s games are offered and played across multiple platforms, including Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. In addition to SciPlay’s internally created game content, SciPlay’s content library includes recognizable game content from Light & Wonder. This content allows players who like playing land-based game content to enjoy some of those same titles in SciPlay’s free-to-play games. SciPlay has access to Light & Wonder’s library of more than 1,500 iconic casino titles, including titles and content from third-party licensed brands such as MONOPOLY, THE FLINTSTONES™, JAMES BOND™, and PLAYBOY™. SciPlay’s access to this content, coupled with its years of experience developing in-house content, uniquely positions SciPlay to create compelling digital games.

Current Year Update

On March 1, 2022, SciPlay acquired Alictus, a Turkey-based hyper-casual game studio, which expanded SciPlay’s business in the casual gaming market, grew its game pipeline and diversified its revenue streams as SciPlay advances its strategy to be a diversified global game developer.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased as compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of higher advertising revenue following the Alictus acquisition, while the core social casino games’ revenue slightly decreased for the same period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenues increased as compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in average monthly paying users due to a higher payer conversion rate during the period, coupled with a $10 million increase in advertising revenue following the Alictus acquisition.

The increase in mobile penetration percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year periods primarily reflects a continued trend of players migrating from web to mobile platforms to play SciPlay’s games.

Average MAU for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased as compared to the prior year periods due to the turnover in users. ARPDAU increased as a function of lower average DAU for periods presented.

Average DAU was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the turnover in users.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, AMRPPU decreased as compared to the prior year periods while average MPU increased as payer conversion improved compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Payer conversion and AMRPPU continues to be higher than pre-COVID periods.

Payer conversion rates are at an all-time high due to consistent payer interaction with the games by players as a result of the introduction of new content and features into SciPlay’s games.

Operating Expenses and AEBITDA

The increase in operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year periods is primarily correlated with the increase in revenue (as described above) as a result of higher platform fees, higher user acquisition spend of $12 million and $16 million, respectively, and higher salaries and benefits related to an increase in

headcount, coupled with an increase in D&A due to additional amortization associated with intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the Alictus and Koukoi acquisitions.

AEBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to higher operating expenses primarily related to user acquisition spend and personnel costs, partially offset by an increase in revenue as described above. As a result, AEBITDA margin for the three- and six-month periods decreased by 5 and 4 percentage points, respectively.

iGAMING

Our iGaming business segment provides a comprehensive suite of digital online gaming content, including digital RMG, distribution platforms, content, products and services. We derive revenue from our content aggregation platforms, including Open Gaming System, remote gaming servers, and various other platforms, which can deliver a wide spectrum of internally developed and branded casino-style games and popular third-party provider casino-style games to gaming operators. We also provide the Open Platform System which offers a wide range of reporting and administrative functions and tools providing operators full control over all areas of digital gaming operations. Generally, we host the play of our game content on our centrally located servers that are integrated with the online casino operators’ websites.

Current Year Update

We continue to expand our customer base and capitalize on growth in the U.S. and other emerging markets by leveraging our industry leading platforms, content and solutions. In April 2022, we went live with 8 operators on day 1 in Ontario in conjunction with the Canadian province regulating into a private licensed market.

Also, in April 2022, we also acquired Playzido, a dynamic content creation platform provider and game supplier, which is expected to accelerate the pace at which we can partner with game studios and operators to expand our iGaming content offering.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

sgms-20220630_g10.jpgsgms-20220630_g11.jpgsgms-20220630_g12.jpg

Revenue remained in line for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, and the increase in revenue of 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period was due to continuing momentum in the U.S. market coupled with continued strong performance of businesses that we acquired in the second half of 2021. The three- and six-month periods were impacted by unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of $4 million and $6 million, respectively, due to strengthening U.S. Dollar. The U.S. market delivered 47% and 56% year-over-year revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, driven by the strength of our original content. Wagers processed through our Open Gaming System for both current year periods remained flat at $18 million and $35 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. AEBITDA remained relatively in line with the prior year periods due to continued investments supporting ongoing growth including our upcoming launch of live casino in the U.S.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

We do not expect that any recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND WORKING CAPITAL

Cash and Available Liquidity

As of June 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity, other than cash flows provided by operating activities, were cash and cash equivalents, including SciPlay cash and cash equivalents (for our SciPlay business segment), cash and cash equivalents within assets held for sale and amounts available under the SciPlay Revolver (for our SciPlay business segment).

Cash and Available Revolver Capacity

(in millions) Cash and cash equivalents Revolver capacity Revolver capacity drawn or committed to letters of credit Total
L&W (excluding SciPlay and assets held for sale) $ 612 $ 750 $ (12) $ 1,350
SciPlay 316 150 — 466
Assets held for sale 43 — — 43
Total as of June 30, 2022 $ 971 $ 900 $ (12) $ 1,859

Assets held for sale 44 — — 44
Total as of December 31, 2021 $ 629 $ 800 $ (12) $ 1,417

Total cash held by our foreign subsidiaries (including discontinued operations) was $152 million and $180 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We believe that substantially all cash held outside the U.S. is free from legal encumbrances or similar restrictions that would prevent it from being available to meet our global liquidity needs.

Our Gaming operations generally require significant upfront capital expenditures, and we may need to incur additional capital expenditures in order to retain or increase market share and units footprint. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and other obligations depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. We may also, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise retire or refinance our debt, through our subsidiaries or otherwise. In the event we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, we may need to raise additional capital. If we do not have adequate liquidity to support these activities, we may be unable to obtain financing for these cash needs on favorable terms or at all. For additional information regarding our cash needs and related risks, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A in our 2021 10-K.

On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $203 million.

On May 9, 2022, SciPlay Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which SciPlay is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 9, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of SciPlay’s outstanding Class A common stock over a two-year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, SciPlay repurchased 0.5 million shares of Class A common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $7 million.

The divestiture of the Lottery Business is estimated to generate approximately $665 million of net cash taxes, after considering the utilization of tax attributes. The net cash taxes are expected to be paid approximately 75% in mid September 2022 and 25% in mid December 2022.

April 2022 Refinancing

On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with the principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions (see Note 11 for additional details).

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Six Months Ended June 30, Variance
($ in millions) 2022 2021 2022 vs. 2021
Net income $ 3,323 $ 104 $ 3,219
Less: Income from discontinued operations, net of tax (3,540) (243) (3,297)

Changes in working capital accounts, excluding the effects of acquisitions (145) — (145)
Changes in deferred income taxes and other 6 4 2
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations $ 13 $ 110 $ (97)

Net cash provided by operating activities (after adjustments to reconcile net loss from continuing operations to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations and changes in deferred income taxes and other) decreased primarily due to an $145 million unfavorable change in working capital accounts, which was offset by a $48 million increase in earnings (drivers described above).

Changes in working capital accounts, excluding the effects of acquisitions from continuing operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily driven by the timing of disbursements including costs associated with the strategic review, accelerated cash interest payments associated with the April 2022 Refinancing debt transactions, higher incentive compensation payout, and higher inventory purchases in order to limit supply chain impacts and support future sale levels.

Net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations decreased primarily due to lower earnings as the current year period included only a partial period for Lottery Business that was sold during the second quarter of 2022 coupled with approximately $80 million in direct transaction costs associated with closing of the Lottery Business transaction.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased primarily due to acquisitions during the first half of 2022 and higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are composed of investments in systems, equipment and

other assets related to contracts, property and equipment, intangible assets and software. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by the settlement of our cross-currency interest rate swaps, in which we received approximately $50 million in cash proceeds.

Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations increased primarily as a result of the receipt of $5,659 million in gross cash proceeds from the sale of the Lottery Business, net of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash transferred, during the second quarter of 2022.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities increased primarily due to the April 2022 Refinancing debt transactions, in which we repaid $6,984 million in senior notes (including redemption premium) and outstanding borrowings under the SGI Term Loan B-5 and received $2,200 million in proceeds from the issuance of the SGI Term Loan B. Additionally, the increase was due to purchases of treasury stock and SciPlay’s common stock, under their respective repurchase programs described above, as well as taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we purchased $203 million of our common stock and $7 million of SciPlay’s common stock.

Credit Agreement and Other Debt

On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with the principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions (see Note 11).

For additional information regarding our credit agreement and other debt, interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see Notes 15 and 16 and Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2021 10-K as well as Notes 11 and 12 and Item 3 below in this form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations disclosed under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital — Contractual Obligations” in our 2021 10-K, other than those related to the Alictus acquisition described in Note 1 and the debt pay down and refinancing transactions described in Note 11.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The following are our primary exposures to market risks:

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2022, the face value of long-term debt was $3,953 million, including $2,200 million of variable-rate obligations. Assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate long term debt, a hypothetical 1% change in interest rates would decrease/increase interest expense by approximately $22 million. All of our interest rate sensitive financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.

In April 2022, we entered into new interest rate swap contracts with $700 million notional amount to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we will pay. The objective of our interest rate swap contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges of the future interest payments, is to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the SOFR component of interest expense to be paid on a portion of our variable rate debt. These hedges mature in April 2027.

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps

During 2018, we entered into certain cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to achieve more attractive interest rates by effectively converting $460 million of our fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated 2025 Secured Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments through October 2023, to a fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt, with a fixed annual weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.946%. We have designated these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in

order to reduce the volatility in our operating results caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro with respect to the U.S. Dollar.

In April of 2022 and as a result of the April 2022 Refinancing, we settled our cross-currency interest rate swaps and received approximately $50 million in cash proceeds.

Net Investment Non-Derivative Hedge - 2026 Secured Euro Notes

As a result of the April 2022 Refinancing described above, we redeemed all of 2026 Secured Euro Notes and no longer have designated net investment hedge.

For additional information regarding interest rate swap contracts, cross-currency interest rate swaps and net investment non-derivative hedges, see Note 12.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 3a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2022.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ARTICLE VIII

COMPLIANCE WITH GAMING LAWS

To enable the Corporation or any Affiliate (as such term is hereinafter defined) thereof to secure and maintain in good standing all licenses, contracts, franchises, permits, registrations, findings of suitability, exemptions, waivers and other regulatory approvals related to the ownership, control, conduct or operation of gaming and related activities now or hereafter engaged in by the Corporation or any Affiliate thereof within or without the United States of America (collectively, “Gaming Licenses”), the following provisions shall apply:

(A) All Securities (as hereinafter defined) shall be held subject to all applicable Gaming Laws (as hereinafter defined) and the suitability standards, qualifications and requirements of the Gaming Authorities (as hereinafter defined) that regulate the operation and conduct of the businesses of the Corporation or any Affiliate thereof and in accordance with the requirements of all applicable Gaming Laws. Any person (as hereinafter defined) owning or controlling Securities shall comply with all applicable Gaming Laws. If any person that holds Securities of the Corporation is determined to be a Disqualified Holder (as hereinafter defined), then, if the Corporation so elects in its sole discretion (unless otherwise required by any Gaming Law or Gaming Authority):

(1) such person shall sell or otherwise dispose of such Securities or other interest in the Corporation within the 60-day period commencing on the date the Corporation gives the person notice of such person’s unsuitability or disqualification and

requiring such disposition (or an earlier time if so required by any Gaming Authority or any Gaming Law) in a manner satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion; or

(2) the Corporation may redeem any or all such Securities of the Corporation on the date specified in the notice given by the Corporation to such person, which date may not be less than 30 days after notice is given, at a price equal to the Redemption Price (as hereinafter defined).

(B) Notice to a Disqualified Holder under paragraph (A)(1) or (2) of this ARTICLE VIII shall be delivered in writing by personal delivery, mailing it to the address shown on the Corporation’s books and records or any other reasonable means and shall be deemed effective on the date given (the “Notice Date”). Failure of the Corporation to provide such notice to a Disqualified Holder after making reasonable efforts to do so shall not preclude the Corporation from exercising its rights under this Article.

(C) If the Corporation intends to redeem Securities in accordance with paragraph (A)(2) of this ARTICLE VIII, the notice shall specify the Securities to be redeemed, the date, time and place when such redemption will be consummated, which date in no event will be earlier than 30 days after the date of such notice, and the Redemption Price (it being sufficient for the purposes of this ARTICLE VIII for the Corporation to indicate generally that the Redemption Price will be determined in accordance with paragraphs (C) and (M) hereof). If the Corporation gives the notice provided for by the preceding sentence, such notice shall be deemed to constitute a binding agreement on the part of the Corporation to redeem, and on the part of the person notified to sell, the Securities referred to in such Notice in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII.

(D) The operation of this ARTICLE VIII shall not be stayed by an appeal from a determination of any Gaming Authority.

(E) Commencing on the Notice Date (or such earlier date on which any Gaming Authority serves notice of its determination of unsuitability or disqualification of the Disqualified Holder on the Corporation), the Disqualified Holder shall not be entitled to receive payments of dividends or interest upon any Securities of the Corporation held by such Disqualified Holder, or exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting or other rights conferred by the Corporation’s Securities upon the holders thereof.

(F) The Board of Directors shall have the power to determine, on the basis of information known to the Board after reasonable inquiry, all questions arising under this ARTICLE VIII, including, without limitation (1) whether a person is a Disqualified Holder, (2) whether a Disqualified Holder has disposed of Securities pursuant to paragraph (A) of this ARTICLE VIII and (3) the amount of Securities held directly or indirectly by any person. Any such determination shall be binding and conclusive on all such persons.

(G) The Corporation shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII, and each holder of Securities of the Corporation shall be deemed to have acknowledged by acquiring or retaining

Securities of the Corporation that failure to comply with this ARTICLE VIII will expose the Corporation to irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law and that the Corporation is entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII.

(H) A Disqualified Holder shall indemnify the Corporation and its Affiliates for any and all direct or indirect costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates as a result of such person’s continuing ownership of, or failure to divest, the Securities.

(I) Any person to whom a redemption notice is given pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall have the burden of establishing to the satisfaction of the Corporation the dates on which and the Purchase Price at which such person acquired the Securities subject to such notice.

(J) The right of the Corporation to redeem Securities pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall not be exclusive of any other rights the Corporation or any of its Affiliates may have or hereafter acquire under any agreement, provision of the bylaws of the Corporation or such Affiliate or otherwise. Nothing in this ARTICLE VIII shall be construed to: (i) relieve any Disqualified Holder (or any Affiliate thereof) from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law, (ii) prohibit or affect any contractual arrangement which the Corporation may make from time to time with any holder of Securities to purchase all or any part of any other securities held by such holder or (iii) be in derogation of any action, past or future, which has been or may be taken by the Board of Directors or any holder of Securities with respect to the subject matter of this ARTICLE VIII.

(K) Nothing contained in this ARTICLE VIII shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action, to the extent not prohibited by law, as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation or any of its Affiliates from the denial or loss or threatened denial or loss of any Gaming License.

(L) If any provision of this ARTICLE VIII or the application of any such provision to any person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this ARTICLE VIII. Except as may be required by any applicable Gaming Law or Gaming Authority, the Board of Directors may waive any of the rights of the Corporation or any restrictions contained in this ARTICLE VIII in any instance in which and to the extent the Board of Directors determines that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Corporation. Except as required by a Gaming Authority, nothing in this ARTICLE VIII shall be deemed or construed to require the Corporation to redeem or repurchase any Securities owned or controlled by a Disqualified Holder or any Affiliate thereof.

(M) For the purposes of this ARTICLE VIII:

(1) “Affiliate” means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified (including any direct or indirect subsidiary of such person). For purposes of this

For purposes of this ARTICLE VIII, the term “Affiliate” shall also include any joint venture, minority-owned entity or other enterprise in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates has any direct or indirect interest.

(3) “Gaming Authority” means any government, court, or federal, state, provincial, local, international, tribal or foreign governmental, administrative or regulatory or licensing body, agency, authority or official, which regulates or has authority over, including, without limitation, the right to issue or grant a license, contract, franchise, permit, registration, finding of suitability, exemption, waiver or other regulatory approval, any form of gaming or related activities conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, lottery, pari mutuel wagering, sports wagering and video gaming activities.

(8) “Securities” means any shares of capital stock, bonds, notes, convertible debentures, warrants or other instruments that represent a share in the equity of the Corporation, a debt owed by the Corporation or the right to acquire any of the foregoing.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

of

SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

of

LIGHT & WONDER, INC.

(Pursuant to Section 78.1955(2) of the Nevada Revised Statutes)

Pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Light & Wonder, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Corporation”), by the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 78.1955(2) and the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on the date hereof (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board of Directors adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation and by the provisions of NRS 78.1955(2), the Board of Directors hereby amends and restates the Certificate of Designation establishing a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation, to reflect the Corporation’s name change, and hereby sets forth the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of such series of preferred stock and the number of shares of such series (in addition to any provisions set forth in the Articles of Incorporation applicable to the preferred stock of all series), as set forth as follows:

Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock

1.    Designation and Amount. There shall be a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001, of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”) that shall be designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,” and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 20,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.

2.    Dividends and Distributions.

(i) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in respect thereof, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of

D-1

March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 and (b) the sum of (1) the Adjustment Number (as defined below) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends plus (2) the Adjustment Number times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”), or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), in each case declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The “Adjustment Number” shall initially be 10,000. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after January 10, 2018 (i) declare and pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(ii) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock).

(iii) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date; in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

3.    Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(i) Each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided herein, in another certificate of designation authorizing a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation or as required by law, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(ii) Except as required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation and by Section 10 hereof, holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

4.    Certain Restrictions. Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

(i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock other than (A) such redemptions or purchases that may be deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or similar rights or grant, vesting or lapse of restrictions on the grant of any other performance shares, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other equity awards to the extent that such shares represent all or a portion of (x) the exercise or purchase price of such options, warrants or similar rights or other equity awards and (y) the amount of withholding taxes owed by the recipient of such award in respect of such grant, exercise, vesting or lapse of restrictions; (B) the repurchase, redemption, or other acquisition or retirement for value of any such shares from employees, former employees, directors, former directors, consultants or former consultants of the Corporation or their respective estate, spouse, former spouse or family member, pursuant to the terms of the agreements pursuant to which such shares were acquired;

(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or

(iii) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or to such holders and holders of any such shares ranking on a parity therewith, upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

(iv) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

5.    Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their retirement become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to any conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

6.    Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (A) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or otherwise, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have received an amount per share (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”) equal to the greater of (i) $10.00 plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, and (ii) the Adjustment Number times the per share amount of all cash and other property to be distributed in respect of the Common Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(i) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other classes and series of stock of the Corporation, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in respect thereof, then the assets available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.

(ii) Neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another entity nor the merger or consolidation of any other entity into or with the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 6.

7.    Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the outstanding shares of

Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged.

8.    No Redemption. Shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption by the Corporation.

9.    Ranking. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all series of Preferred Stock , as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless, in the case of any other series of Preferred Stock, the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise, and shall rank senior to the Common Stock as to such matters.

10.    Amendment. At any time that any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Articles of Incorporation shall not be amended, by merger, consolidation or otherwise, which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

11.    Fractional Shares. Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share that shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

(a)    Section 1.01(b) of the Equity Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(b) The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration shall be allocated among the equity interests of NYX, Don Best and the Non-US Transferred Companies in accordance with the allocation schedule attached hereto as Section 1.01(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Signing Consideration Allocation”), which specifies the portion of the Cash Consideration, if any, to be paid to each applicable Seller and the portion of the Stock Consideration, if any, to be paid to each applicable Seller; provided, that, without Buyer’s prior written consent, the aggregate enterprise value allocated to DBS Canada, OB North America, OB Hellas and OB New Zealand shall not be an amount in excess of $50 million; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit Parent’s right to dispute an allocation by Buyer of an amount in excess of $50 million to the aggregate enterprise value of DBS Canada, OB North America, OB Hellas and OB New Zealand.
