Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
|
As of 5:00 PM New
York City time on August 12, 2020, the rights (the “Rights”) issued under that certain Rights Agreement,
dated as of August 13, 2017 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as the rights
agent, to purchase, under certain circumstances, from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), of the Company expired
pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement, and the Rights Agreement was effectively terminated. As a result, shares of common
stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, are no longer accompanied by the Rights, and the Rights Agreement is of no further
force or effect.
The foregoing description
of the terms of the Rights Agreement and the Rights issued thereunder does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to the
Company’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2017.
Item
5.03
|
Amendments
to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
|
In connection with
the effective termination of the Rights Agreement and the expiration of the Rights issued thereunder as described in Item 3.03
above, the Company filed a certificate of elimination (the “Certificate of Elimination”) with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware on August 13, 2020, which Certificate of Elimination eliminated from the Company’s Second
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) all matters with
respect to the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, and as a result, under the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Series A Preferred Stock will no longer be an authorized series of Company preferred stock. Prior to the expiration
of the Rights, the Series A Preferred Stock would have been issuable, under certain circumstances, upon the exercise of the Rights.
The foregoing description
of the Certificate of Elimination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the Certificate of Elimination, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
