LAS VEGAS, April 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Everi Holdings Inc. (NYSE: EVRI) (“Everi” or the “Company”), a premier provider of gaming products and financial technology and loyalty solutions in the gaming industry, today announced that the Company successfully completed its new First Lien Term Loan (“Incremental Financing”) in the amount of $125 million. The Incremental Financing has a maturity concurrent with the May 2024 maturity date under its existing Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Existing Credit Agreement”) and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1050 basis points with a 1% LIBOR floor. The net proceeds are intended to provide additional liquidity and financial flexibility to better position Everi to withstand the challenging conditions resulting from the novel COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen its operations as industry conditions improve.

In addition to this Incremental Financing, the Company also amended its Existing Credit Agreement to provide for changes to certain covenant provisions, including, but not limited to: eliminating the financial maintenance covenant related to senior secured leverage for each of the remaining quarters in 2020; modifying the compliance threshold in each of the quarters thereafter; and changes that limit the Company’s ability to make certain restricted payments and designate unrestricted subsidiaries (the “Amendment”). 

After fees, discounts and expenses from the Incremental Financing and the Amendment, the Company received approximately $118 million in net proceeds. Prior to the closing of the Incremental Financing, the Company had a total principal balance outstanding of approximately $1.06 billion comprised of $735.5 million on the Company’s existing First Lien Term Loan due in 2024, $35.0 million on its Revolving Credit Facility due in 2022 and $285.4 million of its 7.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2025. 

“With our revenue and the associated workload essentially having been reduced to near zero and our limited clarity as to the various timelines when our customers may restart their operations, we have taken prudent actions to position our Company to withstand this period of minimal or reduced gaming industry activity,” said Michael Rumbolz, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe this incremental financing provides Everi with the flexibility to withstand this current disruption and ensure that as activity resumes we are positioned to support our customers as they reopen for business, bring our employees back to work, and regain the operating and financial momentum we consistently demonstrated prior to the COVID-19 outbreak.”

“Our continued hope is that the steps undertaken to contain the novel COVID?19 virus will prevail and that our economy and way of life can get back to normal as quickly as possible,” added Rumbolz.

IGT and William Hill provide Ocean State Sports Fans with Elevated Interface and More Ways to Bet on New Sportsbook Rhode Island Mobile App and Website

LONDON, April 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IGT Global Solutions Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Game Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT), and William Hill U.S., a subsidiary of William Hill PLC (LON: WMH), today announced the release of enhanced versions of both the Sportsbook Rhode Island mobile app and website.

The new app, available for iOS and Android devices, and website (sportsbetrhodeisland.com) provides sports fans in the Ocean State a more streamlined experience featuring an elevated interface, an expanded wagering menu, and an additional way for patrons to fund their accounts.

The elevated user interface, powered by IGT PlaySports technology, offers an improved navigation design for both live and upcoming sporting events and a more efficient wagering process with significantly fewer steps, from start to finish, to place a bet.

"Recent IGT PlaySports technology updates for the Rhode Island Lottery provide Sportsbook Rhode Island users an elevated player experience," said Enrico Drago, IGT PlayDigital Senior Vice President. "These updates also position the Rhode Island Lottery for success when professional sports return in full force."

Sportsbook Rhode Island users can now wager on a wider selection of futures and prop bet options on popular sporting events. For example, pro football fans can pick "Which team will have more regular season wins in 2020 – New England or Tampa Bay?" The expanded wagering menu, powered by William Hill Sports Book, has been adjusted with the pause of US sports. The menu now features new international sports including Russian Table Tennis, Taiwanese Basketball, and Nicaraguan and Belarusian Premier League Soccer.

"We are excited to continue to innovate with the Rhode Island Lottery and IGT. We are adding alternative sports and additional prop bets to our wagering menu now and look forward to supporting Rhode Island even more when sports return to the U.S.," added Ken Fuchs, William Hill US President of Digital.

In addition to E-Check, users of the Sportsbook Rhode Island app and website now have the option to fund their accounts electronically with Debit Cards.

In November of 2018, IGT and William Hill partnered with the Rhode Island Lottery to open New England's first sports books at Twin River Casino and Tiverton Casino. The debut version of the Sportsbook Rhode Island mobile app went live in September of 2019.

GAN raised £15m in 2013 to pursue growth opportunities in the United States, when Internet gaming was first regulated in a handful of States. Since then, GAN has seen meaningful increase in the addressable U.S. market opportunity as a result of Internet sports betting starting in 2018, following a favourable judgment by the U.S. Supreme Court. Last year, in 2019, more than 80% of our total revenue originated in the U.S. with the balance from Europe. Today we have a growing number of U.S. shareholders, including both small and large and institutional investors as the core business of GAN becomes overwhelmingly U.S. facing, as originally intended. We expect a U.S. listing to generate market information and public relations opportunities that will enhance our reputation and create operational opportunities in the United States.

We believe that a NASDAQ listing will create a number of favourable results for GAN shareholders, including, but not limited to: ease of share purchasing on a U.S. exchange for U.S. investors; increased liquidity (number and value of shares bought/sold every day); increased access to cheaper capital (should we even need more capital, in the future); additional research coverage by U.S. banks (whereas we only have two research analysts covering our shares in the UK); and enhanced reporting standards (quarterly reporting versus semi-annual).

2)            Will GAN maintain a dual listing in the U.S. and the UK?

No. We intend that GAN will be listed exclusively on the NASDAQ within short order, targeting before the end of April 2020. The Company believes this is most favourable for our current position. We expect NASDAQ to afford greater liquidity based on its history as a leading global market for technology and software companies, which would better support GAN's potential equity appreciation. Furthermore, a single listing reduces regulatory complexity and cost, which would be greater if GAN remains listed on both the UK and U.S. markets.

3)            I am a current shareholder of the Company's shares listed in London on the AIM market. What will I have to do now?

Nothing. Any shares you hold (either in your own name or through a custodian or nominee in CREST) will be automatically translated into the same value of shares in GAN Limited on the relevant date (currently anticipated to be towards the end of April 2020), subject to the UK Scheme of Arrangement becoming effective on completion of the U.S. fundraising and Nasdaq listing. Once it is in a position to do so, the Company will make an announcement confirming the date your stockbroker (or other custodian) will be automatically holding U.S. Dollar-denominated shares in GAN Limited freely tradeable on NASDAQ by your stockbroker. For certificated holders, the U.S. Transfer Agent will contact you with a notification confirming the number of GAN Limited shares held on your behalf.

Should you receive any dividends from GAN Limited or (in due course) elect to sell your GAN Limited shares listed on NASDAQ, you may need to complete a form for the U.S. tax authority, called a W-8BEN form, which is easy to complete and widely available.

4)            Will I receive new U.S. shares and how will the conversion work?

Yes. If the Scheme of Arrangement becomes effective, GAN's shareholders will receive shares in GAN Limited, the new Bermuda parent company of GAN's overall group.

As noted in the Scheme of Arrangement, there will be an exchange of 1 share in the current UK-listed GAN plc for every 0.25 share of the new NASDAQ-listed company, as well as a payment of 2.32p. Another way of looking at the same calculation is that 4 shares of GAN plc will be exchanged for 1 share of GAN Limited plus 9.28 GBp in cash (4 x 2.32 GBp).

Example: If the transaction had completed on April 7, 2020, the closing market price on April 7, 2020, would have been used for calculating the U.S. shares. Accordingly, £1.49 per share in GAN plc would have converted at the prevailing foreign exchange rate of USD 1.23 per GBP 1.00 and the calculation would be as follows:

4 shares in GAN plc x £1.49 = £5.96 x $1.24 = $7.33. You would have received 1 share in GAN Limited valued at $7.33 tradeable on NASDAQ on April 8, 2020, together with £0.0928 (9.28p) in cash.

*Please note, these illustrative conversion numbers will be subject to change, as GAN plc's share price continues to fluctuate in normal trading throughout April.

5)            What is a Scheme of Arrangement?

A Scheme of Arrangement is a UK legal process, sanctioned by GAN's shareholders and the UK Court, used to effect the reorganisation of GAN which will facilitate GAN's listing from the UK to the U.S.

If the Scheme of Arrangement becomes effective, GAN Limited, a Bermuda incorporated company, will become the new parent company of the group and the existing parent company, GAN plc, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of GAN Limited.

6)            Is the Company raising money, and if so, why?

Yes. As part of the NASDAQ listing there will be a capital raise targeting a minimum of $35M (approximately £28M). GAN prides itself on operating as a lean, efficient company with no debt and ended 2019 with $10M+ in cash. The capital raise is intended to establish a broader investor base to enhance trading liquidity. The additional capital will also further enhance GAN's capital resources, enabling the Company to scale and rapidly capitalize on growth opportunities.

7)            Was there a Shareholder vote on the NASDAQ listing?

Yes. Shareholders voted at the General Meeting on March 31, 2020, to pass the special resolution to (among other things) implement the Scheme, amend the articles of association of GAN plc and cancel admission of the Company's shares to AIM once listed on NASDAQ, to ensure there is no single trading day when the GAN's shares cannot be bought or sold on an investment exchange (either the London Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ). More than 99% of votes cast at the Court Meeting (each of which were cast by proxy) were in favour of the Scheme.

8)            What is the timing of the U.S. listing?

The Company expects to list on the NASDAQ within 30 days of the shareholder meeting completed on March 31, 2020. Directionally, this overall process should be completed before the end of April 2020, subject to market conditions.

9)            Where will GAN trade?

GAN will trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

10)          What will the ticker symbol be?

The Company's NASDAQ ticker symbol will be "GAN."

London | March 27, 2020: GAN plc ("GAN" or the "Company"), an award-winning developer and supplier of enterprise-level B2B Internet gambling software, services and online gaming content in the United States, today provides more information on the previously confirmed closure of certain market access arrangements with the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians ("Tribe") in the State of Michigan, following the December 23, 2019, passage into Michigan law HB 4311, a bill that includes provisions for the legalization of full real money Internet casino gaming in the State of Michigan as well as Internet sports betting.

In Michigan, GAN will be providing its technology Platform together with certain operational services to both the Tribe's five land-based Kewadin casino properties and an existing major U.S. casino operator client of GAN ("Client") that has requested anonymity pending certain regulatory approvals.

With a population of 10.0 million (3.1% of the U.S. population), the Michigan Internet gambling market is forecast to generate $377 million in Gross Operator Revenue in the first 12 months of operations, increasing to $836 million in the fourth operating year (source: Regulus Partners, an International gambling consultancy).

Jeff Berman, Chief Commercial Officer of GAN, commented:

"Michigan has long represented an attractive market with both Internet sports and Internet casino gaming now regulated. Our technical expertise and 'day one' experience in multiple U.S. Internet gambling markets will enable the Sault Tribe to capture their share of the online opportunity and we thank them for their trust in forming this relationship with GAN and our major U.S. casino operator client whose identity will be confirmed in due course. We are incredibly excited to bring real money Internet gambling to Michigan, which remains at the core of our mission, strategy and purpose in the United States."

LAS VEGAS – March 11, 2020 – AGS has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2020, National Standard honor by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution solely based on a voluntary, confidential survey of its employees in Metro Atlanta. This award comes on the heels of AGS being awarded ‘Atlanta’s Best and Brightest Companies To Work For® in 2019 for the third year in a row. AGS was the only gaming company named to the prestigious Top Workplaces list.

The anonymous employee survey, administered by third-party research partner Energage, LLC, measured several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

AGS Chief Technology Officer Sigmund Lee, who is based in Atlanta and oversees the Company’s slot product development, said, “This award means so much to me and to our leadership team because of the value we place in our people. Our strong desire to help each other succeed is core to our culture, and it’s especially nice to have an award based on anonymous and voluntary employee feedback.”

AGS has two campuses in the Atlanta Metro area – one in Duluth, Georgia and another in Midtown. Nearly 200 employees work across these two campuses primarily in the fields of Research & Development, with a focus on game development, hardware engineering, software design, graphic design, and quality assurance.

Energage Chief Executive Officer Eric Rubino said, “For more than a decade, the Top Workplaces award has helped organizations stand out among their competitors to attract talent. This differentiation is more important than ever in today’s tight labor market. No longer is recognition simply a much-deserved cause for celebration, but it’s fast-becoming mission-critical to establish a competitive advantage for recruitment and retention.”

The Company also announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has extended Mr. Rumbolz’ employment agreement as Chief Executive Officer for an additional 14 months through March 31, 2022. In conjunction with the announced executive leadership changes, Mr. Rumbolz will shift his primary focus towards Everi’s long-term strategic growth initiatives, including support for the Company’s ongoing growth plans, its organizational development, corporate culture and technological innovation.

“These changes to the executive management team fortify our leadership capabilities and are the result of our organizational development and succession planning initiatives,” said E. Miles Kilburn, Chairman of the Board of Everi. “The appointments recognize the significant contributions Randy, Mark and Dave have made to Everi’s success, their broad expertise, and their ability to successfully execute on new opportunities and to resolve challenges effectively and efficiently. Under Mike’s leadership, Everi has distinguished itself in recent years with its success and strong operating performance, while creating and fostering a culture that emphasizes innovation and collaboration, elements that have become an integral foundation of our growth. These leadership changes will help facilitate our ongoing performance momentum and success in delivering future profitable growth.”

As President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Taylor will assume primary oversight of the Company’s day-to-day execution of ongoing operational performance targets and the Company’s efforts to drive continuous improvement across its operations. Mr. Taylor will help guide the enterprise-wide execution of Everi’s growth-focused strategies and will further foster success-oriented accountability across the Company. He most recently served as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since March 2014, and previously served as Senior Vice President, Corporate Controller. Prior to joining Everi in 2011, Mr. Taylor served as Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Accounting Officer of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, having advanced through various finance and accounting roles during a 10-year tenure at Citadel.

“Randy has been instrumental in driving Everi’s success and positioning it for continued growth,” said Mr. Rumbolz. “He has had direct oversight of many areas of the business where we’ve achieved significant success. These include the improvements in our balance sheet during the last several years, the implementation of prudent investment strategies, including the disciplined allocation of capital to expand and improve our Games and FinTech product portfolio that has driven consistent profitable growth, and overseen several accretive acquisitions. His experience and attention to detail will help to further improve our day-to-day focus and financial performance.”

Mr. Labay has been with Everi for more than 17 years, most recently serving under Mr. Taylor as Senior Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations since April 2014. As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Labay will be responsible for the Company’s financial, accounting, treasury, and investor relations functions, and will implement financial strategies that support Everi’s growth initiatives.

Prior to joining Everi, Mr. Labay was Controller of El Portal Group and had been with Deloitte & Touche. He holds a Masters Degree in Accounting from the University of Florida.

“Over the last six years, Mark has worked closely with Randy on the development and implementation of initiatives that have helped drive profitable growth and improve our financial foundation and flexibility. He has led the process of identifying and completing several accretive, strategic transactions that have improved the competitive position and financial performance of our FinTech business. Mark’s financial and operational experience will continue to benefit the Company as he moves into his new position,” said Mr. Rumbolz.

In his new role, Mr. Lucchese will be responsible for Everi’s global sales and customer-experience efforts, as well as continuing to guide the growth of the Company’s Digital operations. Mr. Lucchese has extensive experience in the gaming industry and has held several executive leadership roles at Everi since joining the Company in April 2010.

Before joining the Company, he served for nearly 25 years in sales positions at Bally Technologies, Inc., Aristocrat Technologies, Inc., and Casino Data Systems. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing and Management from Indiana University.

“In addition to leading our successful efforts to launch and grow our digital and Interactive business, Dave has continued to lead all aspects of many of our larger strategic accounts. By aligning responsibility for all our customer touchpoints under Dave, we expect to continue the momentum we have in place to better serve customers, strengthen our competitive position in the marketplace and enhance our long-term profitability,” said Rumbolz.

“Finally, on behalf of the entire Everi team, we wish Ed Peters the very best in his well-deserved retirement,” said Mr. Rumbolz. “Ed has had an extraordinarily successful career and during his five years at Everi, he built and led a team that has dramatically grown sales of both Games and FinTech products and services. He leaves behind a strong team dedicated to helping our customers achieve even greater success. We are pleased that Ed has agreed to a transitional position through May 2021 to affect a smooth hand-off with our customers. I am excited to work with Randy, Mark and Dave in their new roles and look forward to the year ahead as we continue to deliver increased value for all our stakeholders.”
