International Game Technology PLC Announces Sale of Italian Commercial Payment Business to PostePay S.p.A.

International Game Technology PLC (NYSE:IGT) (“IGT” or the “Company”) today announced that on February 25, 2022 its wholly-owned subsidiary IGT Lottery S.p.A. signed a definitive agreement to sell its Italian proximity payment business to PostePay S.p.A. – Patrimonio Destinato IMEL for €700 million.

Under the agreement, IGT will be selling LIS Holding S.p.A. and, indirectly, LISPAY S.p.A. These two wholly-owned subsidiaries conduct IGT’s proximity payment business, offering services through a fully-owned advanced payment technology platform and a network of 54,000 points of sale. Services offered range from payments services, including bill payments and prepaid payment cards, to commercial services providing telco and e-vouchers top-up, and technological solutions, including merchant and enterprise services.

The sale price represents an enterprise value of €630 million and approximately €70 million of net unrestricted cash. IGT intends to use net proceeds from the transaction primarily to reduce debt.

The IGT Board of Directors approved the transaction on February 24, 2022, and the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2022.
