Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of International Game Technology (“IGT”) (NYSE: IGT) concerning the acquisition by Gtech. Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $6.4 billion, IGT shareholders will only receive $13.69 in cash and 0.1819 of a share for each IGT share owned. Together the consideration equals about $18.25 per share, which is well below the 52-week high of $21.20.

If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the investigation or if you have information that you believe would be helpful to our investigation of the fairness of the proposed transaction, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 239-4568, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com, or Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via email at shareholder@powerstaylor.com. There is no cost or fee to you.

The investigation centers on whether IGT’s Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders’ best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of IGT could be as high as $19.
