Sir Brian G. Wolfson, a member of the Board of Directors of Scientific Games Corporation (the Company), passed away during the evening of May 10, 2007. Sir Brian had also served as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. On May 11, 2007, the Company notified the staff of the NASDAQ Stock Market that Sir Brians death resulted in the Audit Committee being comprised of two independent directors rather than three independent directors as required under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350 and that the Company expected to promptly fill the vacancy with an existing member of the Companys Board of Directors. On May 15, 2007, the Board of Directors appointed Eric M. Turner, who has been a director since 2002, as a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Turner meets the independence requirements and other qualifications of the NASDAQ Stock Market for service on the Audit Committee.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
See response to Item 3.01 which is incorporated herein by reference.
