International Game Technology PLC, doing business as Brightstar Lottery, announced it has completed the sale of its Gaming & Digital business to a holding company owned by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc. on July 1, 2025. Effective July 2, 2025, Brightstar began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under its business name, Brightstar Lottery, and new ticker symbol, BRSL. The Company’s CUSIP will not change, and no action is needed from current stockholders.

“The sale of the Gaming & Digital business positions Brightstar for an exciting future. The balanced allocation of proceeds to significantly reduce debt and return substantial capital to shareholders, in addition to funding investments in growth and improving ongoing shareholder returns, reflect the Board’s continuing commitment to enhance shareholder value,” said Marco Sala, Executive Chair of Brightstar.

“Today marks an exciting new chapter for the Company, one that builds on a long legacy of delivering responsible, sustainable solutions through our products, services, technology, and insights. I am extremely proud of the Brightstar team, whose future-forward mindset and commitment to innovation serving lottery customers around the world are the foundation of the Company’s strong financial position and predictable cash flows,” said Vince Sadusky, CEO of Brightstar.

The Company received approximately $4.0 billion of net cash proceeds that are expected to be allocated in the following manner:

• $2.0 billion used for previously disclosed contractual commitment to reduce debt:

• Redeem in whole the 4.125% Senior Secured U.S. Dollar Notes due April 2026 and the 3.500% Senior Secured Euro Notes due June 2026.

• €300 million to prepay the Term Loan Facilities due January 2027.

• Remaining amount allocated to prepay the Revolving Credit Facilities due July 2027.

• $1.1 billion to be returned to shareholders:

• In addition, the Board authorized a $500 million, two-year share repurchase program. The new authorization replaces the Company’s existing share repurchase program.

• $500 million to partially fund upcoming Italy Lotto license payments.

• $400 million to be used for general corporate purposes.

The Company intends to maintain a strong balance sheet with target net debt leverage (net debt/last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA) around 3.0x supported by robust cash flow generation. Pro forma for the transaction, approximately $100 million of residual post-closing transaction costs, the full upfront payments associated with the new Italy Lotto license, and the $1.1 billion of capital returned to shareholders, net debt leverage as of March 31, 2025, was 3.5x.

The induction ceremony will take place this September at an industry event in Ontario, Canada hosted by the Public Gaming Research Institute (PGRI) in conjunction with the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL).

“Michelle is an incredible asset to Brightstar, its partners and customers, and the entire lottery industry. Over the course of her highly accomplished 25-year career, she has successfully cultivated strategic partnerships, contributed to Brightstar’s global lottery leadership, and championed innovation to drive the evolution of lottery forward.

All of us at Brightstar congratulate Michelle on her well-deserved induction into the Lottery Industry Hall of Fame,” said Vince Sadusky, CEO of Brightstar.

“It is a great honor to be inducted to Lottery Industry Hall of Fame and stand alongside all of the lottery professionals who contributed so much to our industry, many of whom inspired and supported me over the years. I am grateful for the privilege to collaborate with my colleagues at Brightstar and in the industry around the globe and look forward to continue working together to drive the success of lottery and contributions to good causes,” said Carney.

In her current role, Carney is responsible for the development of marketing and communications strategies that support growth for Brightstar’s Global Lottery business, including lottery product marketing, trade shows and events, thought leadership communications, and B2C marketing campaign materials to support customer launches of new game content.

Under Carney’s strategic planning and guidance, Brightstar is positioned as the industry leader at all trade shows, conferences and events, including customer visits and RFI/RFP presentations.

A recent industry highlight was Carney’s leadership of the development and implementation plan to deliver a $5 Mega Millions game in April 2025, on behalf of the Mega Millions Consortium. She developed an inclusive technical, operational, and retail execution strategy that provided the framework for a successful project delivery of all key milestones across 11 subcommittees comprising lottery and vendor employees.
