Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective May 9, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) amended certain provisions of the Amended and Restated By Laws of the Company (the “Bylaws”). In light of recent amendments to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Section 2.5 of the Bylaws was amended to remove the requirement for the Company to provide a stockholder list at a meeting of stockholders, but provides that the Company will make the stockholder list available during the 10-day period prior to any such stockholder meeting. In addition, the Company amended Section 6.1 of the Bylaws, relating to officers, to clarify that officers of the Company will have such powers and duties as generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the specific provisions of Article VI of the Bylaws as well as the resolutions of the Board with respect to such offices, and that in the event of conflict between Article VI of the Bylaws and any such resolutions of the Board, such resolutions would govern.

A copy of the Second Amended and Restated By Laws of the Company incorporating such amendments is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the amendments to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amended and Restated By Laws and is incorporated herein by reference.
