Exhibit 99.1
International Game Technology PLC Annual General Meeting
On May 11, 2021, International Game Technology PLC (the “Company”) held its annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2021 AGM”). At the 2021 AGM, 21 matters were considered and acted upon. Each of the resolutions 1 through 22 (other than resolution 5 which was withdrawn due to the director’s decision not to stand for re-election subsequent to the issue of the notice of 2021 AGM) were adopted.
The Company advises that the results of voting on the resolutions put to its 2021 AGM, published on May 12, 2021, contained immaterial numerical errors due to the incorrect voting ratio applied in respect of the Company’s special voting shares resulting in a total of 59,752 votes (representing 0.02% of the overall eligible votes) being underreported. The updated voting results (the number of votes cast for and against, as well as abstentions and broker non-votes) are set forth below and do not change the outcome of any of the votes.
