Statement on Dragon Train Litigation
On September 23, 2024, Light & Wonder, Inc. (the “Company” or “Light & Wonder”) received an order from the U.S. District Court for the District of
Nevada granting Aristocrat a preliminary injunction relating to Light & Wonder’s Dragon Train game. We respectfully disagree with the judge’s decision and will promptly file an appeal. We will continue to vigorously defend against Aristocrat’s
claims, including presenting our defenses to a jury at a trial.
A copy of the press release relating to the Company’s statement on the Dragon Train Litigation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by
reference herein.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 as well as in Exhibit 99.1 is furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Forward-Looking Statements
In this current report, Light & Wonder 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 “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“target,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “goal,” or similar terminology. These statements are based upon current Company management 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, uncertainties and
other factors, including those factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties and factors that could cause 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
for the year ended December 31, 2023 on February 27, 2024 (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 and expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
