LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 13, 2025-- Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (“Light & Wonder,” “L&W,” “we” or the “Company”) today is providing an update regarding its previously announced intention to delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and transition to a sole primary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

The Company confirms that delisting from Nasdaq is expected to take effect prior to open of trading on November 13, 2025 (EST)¹.

Timetable and Key Dates ²

• Form 25 notice of delisting filing with the SEC: Monday, November 3, 2025 (EST)
• Last day of trading on Nasdaq: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 (EST)
• Suspension of trading on Nasdaq: after the close of trading on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 (EST)
• Delisting effective: prior to open of trading on Nasdaq, Thursday, November 13, 2025 (EST)
• Commencement of trading on ASX on a sole primary basis: 10:00am AEDT, Friday, November 14, 2025

Rationale

The decision to transition to a sole ASX primary listing reflects Light & Wonder’s strategic focus on aligning our capital markets presence with our long-term growth plans and shareholder base. We are seeking to consolidate trading liquidity onto the ASX, a deep and liquid market that has a robust understanding of the gaming sector.

ASX Waivers and Confirmations

Light & Wonder continues to engage with the Nasdaq in relation to the delisting and with the ASX in relation to the transition to a primary listing. The conversion from an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing to an ASX Standard Listing, including the timetable thereof, remains subject to the ASX’s waivers and confirmation of various conditions.

Impact on existing shareholders on Nasdaq

Upon effectiveness of the delisting from Nasdaq, Light & Wonder shares of common stock (“Shares”) will no longer be tradeable on Nasdaq. The ASX will become the sole primary listing for Light & Wonder CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), which represents a beneficial interest in Shares. CDIs confer beneficial ownership of the equivalent number of underlying Shares to the CDI holder, with the legal title to such Shares held in book entry uncertificated form by CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Limited. If you wish to continue to trade your Shares on a centralized stock exchange, you will be required to transmute/convert your Shares into CDIs for trading on the ASX.

Other options for holders of Shares currently listed on Nasdaq are to:

1) Sell your Shares on Nasdaq on or prior to suspension of trading; or

2) Continue to hold your Shares following the delisting from Nasdaq, with such shares tradeable only on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market

How do I convert Nasdaq-listed Shares into CDIs tradeable on ASX?

Approach 1: Shares currently held through your broker.

(This process only applies to Shares held through a broker.)

• Contact your broker to request them to submit a Notice of Transmutation: CDI Issuance Form (available here) via email to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (LNW’s U.S. transfer agent):
  • Email: jessenia.poteat@equiniti.com
• Your broker will also initiate the Share to CDI conversion process via DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian method (DWAC).
• The processing time to convert Shares into CDIs is typically two (2) business days from the date on which Equiniti receives from your broker a complete and accurate form for the conversion of your Shares and the Shares are withdrawn from DTC by your broker.
• The form allows, depending on how you or your broker wish for the CDIs to be held, for the nomination of the holding method of CDIs—either on the issuer sponsored or the CHESS sponsored sub-register of CDIs.
• Following the conversion, if you continue to hold your CDIs with a broker or custodian, they will confirm the CDIs are now held on your behalf and you should contact them if you wish to trade in CDIs.
• If following the conversion, the CDIs are registered directly in your name, you will be sent a holding statement that sets out the number of CDIs that have been issued to you. You will subsequently receive statements showing any changes to your holding. Certificates will not be issued for CDIs.
• Your broker may charge a fee for converting the Shares into CDIs.

Approach 2: Shares currently held directly and not through a broker.

(This process only applies to Shares held directly, and not through a broker.)

• Complete a Notice of Transmutation: CDI Issuance Form (available here)
• Submit the completed Transmutation Form to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (LNW’s U.S. transfer agent):
  • Address: 28 Liberty Street, Floor 53 New York, NY 10005, USA
  • Phone: +1 800-937-5449
  • Email: jessenia.poteat@equiniti.com
• If you hold Shares directly and:
  • in book entry uncertificated form – you need to send your completed form to the Equiniti email address above; or
  • in certificated form – you need to send your Share certificate and completed form via mail to the Equiniti physical address above.
• The processing time to convert Shares into CDIs is typically two (2) business days from the date on which Equiniti receives a complete and accurate form for the conversion of your Shares and Share certificate if applicable.
• The form allows for the nomination of the holding method of CDIs either on the issuer sponsored or the CHESS sponsored sub-register of CDIs. Once converted, your CDIs will be issued in uncertificated form and be tradeable on ASX via a broker that facilitates access to trading on ASX.
• Following the conversion, you will then be sent a holding statement that sets out the number of CDIs that have been issued to you. You will subsequently receive statements showing any changes to your holding. Certificates will not be issued for CDIs.

It is your responsibility to confirm your own holding before trading in CDIs. If you sell CDIs before receiving a holding statement, you do so at your own risk. LNW, Computershare, and Equiniti all disclaim all liability if you sell CDIs before receiving your holding statement.
