Forward-Looking
Statements
In this press release, Scientific Games makes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies
and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,”
“should,” “could,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “goal,” or similar terminology.
These forward-looking statements include statements related to the terms, timing and completion of the offering of the Notes; the
intended use of proceeds of the Notes offering; and the completion of the redemption of the 2021 Notes. These statements are based
upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance.
Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Actual results may differ
materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, including,
among other things: the inability to consummate the potential refinancing transaction on the terms described herein or at all;
the inability to otherwise reduce or refinance our indebtedness; and the risk that we will not use the proceeds in the manner anticipated.
Additional information regarding risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is included from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including the Company’s current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and its latest annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2020 (including under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation and expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
