In response to the latest press release from the Ader / Mathewson Group, International Game Technology (“IGT”) issued the following statement on February 20, 2013:

 

“We are confident that shareholders recognize that the latest missive from the Ader / Mathewson Group is simply an attempt to correct its own prior mischaracterization of the ISS recommendation.  In contrast to the Ader / Mathewson Group’s press release issued this morning, its press release issued this afternoon notes, for the first time, that ISS recommends shareholders vote for only ONE of the Ader / Mathewson Group nominees – Daniel Silvers.

 

The IGT Board urges shareholders to protect their investment by voting FOR all eight of IGT’s director nominees on the WHITE proxy card.”
