Dear Valued Customer:
I wanted to reach out to you to share some exciting news regarding the pending merger of Scientific
Games and WMS. Earlier today, we announced the planned organizational structure and leadership
team for the combined company upon closing of the transaction, which we are anticipating this fall.
Drawing on the great talent and strengths that have made both Scientific Games and WMS leaders in
our industries, I truly believe this team will take the combined company to the next level.
Once the transaction closes, Scientific Games operationally will be organized into two industry groups
- Gaming and Lottery.
The Gaming group is expected to be composed of the core WMS Gaming business, the gaming-related
systems businesses of both Scientific Games and WMS, Scientific Games’ server-based gaming
business headquartered in the U.K., and Williams Interactive. The group will be led by Bill Huntley,
who will serve as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Executive of Gaming, reporting to me. Mr.
Huntley currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, Systems, of Scientific
Games, and has overseen the successful integration of several major acquisitions for Scientific Games.
The senior management team of the Gaming group who will report to Bill is anticipated to include:


Ken Lochiatto, President and Chief Operating Officer of WMS Gaming;
Scott Schweinfurth, Chief Financial Officer of Gaming and Chief Integration Officer of Scientific
Games;
Fred Gabbard, Senior Vice President, Product Development;
Steve Beason, Enterprise Chief Technology Officer of Scientific Games;
Brooks Pierce, Chief Revenue Officer of Gaming. Mr. Pierce currently serves as President,
North American Gaming at Scientific Games; and
Phil Horne, Group Managing Director of SG Gaming U.K.; and
Jordan Levin, Managing Director of Williams Interactive.
Orrin Edidin will assume the role of Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development of
Gaming, reporting to me. Steve Frater, Executive Chairman of SG Gaming U.K., will continue to report
to me.
Importantly, Brian Gamache will continue with Scientific Games in a consulting capacity to provide
strategic advice to the Company and the senior management team as the two companies complete
the integration and focus on the continued growth of the Company’s global gaming business.
Brian has done a tremendous job building WMS and overseeing the company’s growth and success,
and we are excited that he will continue with the combined company in an advisory role. Under
Brian’s leadership, WMS has established itself as an industry innovator and set new standards for
gaming entertainment. We look forward to continuing to benefit from Brian’s expertise and
unrelenting customer focus as we work to successfully integrate WMS with Scientific Games.
This announcement is an exciting step forward in the evolution of Scientific Games into a global
company with the most comprehensive portfolio of products and services and world-class functional
expertise across the gaming and lottery industries. Importantly, we are excited about the benefits our
customers will enjoy as a result of the scope and scale of this combination.
We look forward to seeing many of you at next week’s G2E® gaming industry trade show, where we
will be demonstrating the latest products and capabilities from WMS.
