Key Financial Metrics

- Debt Instrument: 3.500% Senior Secured Euro Notes due July 15, 2024.

Material Changes
IGT has exercised its right to fully redeem the outstanding €112,041,000 of its 2024 Senior Secured Euro Notes. This action represents a material reduction in the company's long-term debt obligations. The redemption is scheduled for November 7, 2023, and is contingent upon the company securing sufficient funds from its revolving credit facilities.
Outlook and Management Commentary
Management indicates that interest on the redeemed notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, provided payment is made. The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance on revenue, earnings, or broader market outlook, nor does it detail specific risks beyond the standard condition of funding availability for the redemption.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact amount of the "make-whole premium" to be paid, as the filing states it is consistent with the indenture but does not list the specific figure.
- Confirm the availability of funds under IGT's senior revolving credit facilities to ensure the redemption proceeds as scheduled.
- Review the impact of this debt reduction on the company's overall leverage ratios and liquidity position in the next quarterly report.
- Clarify the discrepancy between the request metadata ("Brightstar Lottery PLC") and the filing registrant ("International Game Technology PLC").
