Item 1.01.                                          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 22, 2004, Alliance Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) and Richard Haddrill, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into an amendment to Mr. Haddrill’s employment agreement with the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Company granted Mr. Haddrill an additional 300,000 stock options and an additional 156,507 restricted stock units.

 

The stock options have an exercise price of $13.35 per share (which is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on December 22, 2004, the date of grant), and vest over the next three years, provided that Mr. Haddrill remains the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on each respective vesting date.  The number of restricted stock units granted to Mr. Haddrill was calculated by dividing $1.9 million by $12.14 (which is equal to the average per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the 20 business days immediately prior to the date of the grant).  The restricted stock units vest on October 1, 2010; provided that the vesting will be accelerated to 50% on each of October 1, 2005 and October 1, 2006 if the Company attains certain strategic and/or financial measures, which are to be mutually agreed to by the Board of Directors and Mr. Haddrill.

 

The amendment also extends, to June 30, 2005, the date by which Mr. Haddrill is to increase his holdings of the Company’s common stock to at least $1 million in aggregate acquisition costs.
