Filed by International Game Technology PLC (SEC File No. 001-36906) pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended Subject Company: International Game Technology PLC (SEC File No. 001-36906) EMAIL From: Desk of Vince Audience: All employees worldwide Date: April 4, 2024 Subject: The Path Forward Hello IGT, It’s been about a month since we announced a decision regarding our evaluation of strategic alternatives. I want to thank all those around the world who joined us for our video conference on the day of our announcement and have since reached out with thoughts and questions about our decision. Just like your skill and dedication drive our success everywhere we conduct business, your voice and your input will help drive our ability to deliver meaningful content about our transaction in the weeks and months to come. This message is the first in a series of periodic updates we will provide through the close of our transaction. The goal is to keep you informed about significant milestones in our process because we understand the importance of regular communication at a time of significant organizational change. Today, I want to share a bit about the early market reaction to our announcement, some details around the regulatory process we’ve started to work through, and some of the channels you should monitor for news in the months to come. As many of you likely saw, the market did not have a significant reaction to our announcement nor our most recent earnings report. In fact, following both events, our stock price trended down. We believe there are a few factors influencing this trend. For starters, our transaction isn’t expected to close until late 2024 or early 2025. We firmly believe in the long-term benefits of separating our businesses, and we’ve repeatedly heard from investors who agree that the transaction will benefit our businesses by creating two pure-play companies focused on their respective industries. However, market reaction can sometimes favor short-term results versus longer-term impacts, and we have a lot of work to do before closing. The timeline for closing is driven by a variety of factors, including approval by IGT and Everi shareholders, and receipt of the required regulatory approvals. We must secure antitrust approval in the U.S. along with the approval of several

financial service regulatory bodies. We must also work with gaming regulators responsible for more than 400 licenses we maintain around the world. Max Chiara, our chief financial officer, did a nice job explaining this process during his most recent town hall. He additionally highlighted our commitment to balancing our 2023 full-year results with more moderate expectations for the first quarter of 2024. We are all excited to see how the market reacts later in the year, as we progress toward closing our transaction, and move closer to realizing the benefits of separating our businesses. In the meantime, please make sure to familiarize yourself with the communication channels we have established for news about the transaction. These channels will be updated regularly as a complement to these monthly messages. The central location for strategic evaluation news is our microsite, on OneIGT. This site has already been updated multiple times since our announcement to include a replay of our internal video conference, public-facing slides regarding the expected benefits of our transaction, and answers to some of the most common questions received to date. Questions covered in our most recent update touch on the status of our lottery branding efforts, potential impacts on recruitment, and whether our transaction will have any impact on employee benefits. If you have not visited the site, I encourage you to do so as soon as possible, and to check back frequently. I also recommend keeping an eye on our weekly OneIGT newsletter. All updates to our microsite and our related communication processes will be highlighted in this email, which is delivered worldwide every Monday. For example, the March 18 edition highlighted the launch of a dedicated mailbox for transaction-related questions. Employees who wish to reach out anonymously can do so through YourIGT. I look forward to providing future updates, and to hearing from you. This is an important period for us, and ensuring we maintain consistent two-way communication is a priority for me and leaders throughout the Company. Thank you.
