VANCOUVER, Feb. 7, 2019 /CNW/ - INTEGRITY GAMING CORP.

("AGS") and the holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Shares"), options ("Options") and restricted share units ("RSUs") of Integrity (collectively, the "Securityholders"), pursuant to which AGS's subsidiary will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Shares. Pursuant to the Arrangement, subject to applicable withholding taxes (if any), holders of Shares will receive CAD$0.46 in cash for each Share held, holders of all unexercised Options (including Options which have not vested) will receive, in respect of each Option held, CAD$0.46 in cash less the exercise price of such Option and holders of RSUs (including RSUs which have not vested) will receive, in respect of each RSU held, CAD$0.46 in cash.
The Arrangement was previously approved by Securityholders at a special meeting of Securityholders held on February 5, 2019 (the "Meeting"). Of the votes cast at the Meeting, 99.99% of the votes cast by Shareholders were in favour of the Arrangement (99.99% after excluding the votes cast by those persons whose votes must be excluded in determining minority approval for the Arrangement pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). In addition, of the votes cast at the Meeting, 99.99% of the votes cast by Securityholders, voting together as a single class, were in favour of the Arrangement.
