    NEW YORK and LAS VEGAS, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo (NYSE:APO) today announced the completion of the previously announced acquisitions of International Game Technology PLC's (doing business as "Brightstar Lottery") Gaming & Digital Business and Everi Holdings Inc. ("Everi") by a holding company owned by funds managed by Apollo affiliates (the "Apollo Funds"). The all-cash transaction, valued at approximately $6.3 billion, brings together complementary businesses to form a privately held global leader in gaming, digital and financial technology solutions.

    The two companies will be integrated into a combined enterprise in the coming months. Headquartered in Las Vegas, the combined enterprise will operate under the IGT name, while retaining the Everi brand in select markets and product lines. IGT will be organized into three business units: Gaming, Digital and FinTech, creating a customer-first enterprise supported by a people-first culture that values talent, collaboration and innovation.

    "This is a defining moment for our industry," said Nick Khin, Interim CEO of IGT. "By uniting two leading organizations, we are building an enterprise with the scale, talent and technology to lead the future of gaming. With Apollo's support, we are very well-positioned to deliver exceptional content across land-based and digital experiences, along with integrated financial solutions and casino management that enhance the player journey and drive value for our customers. I'm honored to be part of this exciting chapter and to help shape the future of IGT."

    As previously announced, Hector Fernandez is expected to assume the role of CEO of IGT in the fourth quarter of 2025, following the expiration of a customary non-compete period. Until then, Mr. Khin will lead the organization and transition into the role of CEO of IGT's Gaming business unit upon Mr. Fernandez's arrival.

    "Bringing together highly complementary businesses creates a more competitive, agile and well-capitalized platform built for long-term growth," said Daniel Cohen, Partner at Apollo. "We are confident that IGT is well positioned to deliver differentiated content and capabilities that better serve customers across the globe. We look forward to working closely with Hector, Nick and the rest of the talented IGT team to lead the industry forward."

    Effective today, Everi common stock has been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Everi stockholders are receiving $14.25 per share in cash, and International Game Technology PLC is receiving $4.05 billion of gross cash proceeds.

    Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP is serving as legal counsel to the Apollo Funds.
