NOTICE OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN WITHOUT A MEETING
June 15, 2009
Dear Stockholders:
The purpose of this letter and the enclosed Information Statement is to inform you that stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock of New Media Lottery Services, Inc. have executed written consents in lieu of a meeting to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation (the “Amendment”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock we may issue from 50,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares (the "Share Increase").
On May 29, 2009, our board of directors and stockholders holding approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock executed written consents approving the Share Increase. The consents we have received constitute the only stockholder approval required for the Amendment under Delaware corporate law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as presently in effect. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, stockholder approval of these amendments will not become effective before July 6, 2009, which is approximately 21 calendar days after June 15, 2009, the date we first mailed the Information Statement to our stockholders.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
Because the written consent of holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock approving the Amendment satisfies all applicable stockholder voting requirements, we are not asking you for a proxy; please do not send us one. We are furnishing this Information Statement to you solely to inform you of the approval of the Amendment by holders of a majority of outstanding shares of our common stock. Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law requires that we notify you of these approvals because they were obtained by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting. This letter and the Information Statement are intended to provide such notice. No action is required by you.
The Information Statement is for information purposes only — Please read it carefully.

General Information
This Information Statement is being mailed on or about June 15, 2009, to the stockholders of record of New Media Lottery Services, Inc. (the "Company"), at the close of business on May 29, 2009 (the “Record Date”). This Information Statement is being sent to you for information purposes only. No action is requested or required on your part.
This Information Statement is being furnished to you to inform you that holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of shares of our securities have adopted, by written consent, resolutions authorizing us to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock we are authorized to issue. This Information Statement constitutes notice to our stockholders of corporate action by stockholders without a meeting, as required by Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL").
We will bear the expenses relating to this Information Statement, including expenses in connection with preparing and mailing this Information Statement and all documents that now accompany or may in the future supplement it. We have asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.
Only one Information Statement is being delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. We will undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may make a written or oral request by sending a written notification to our principal executive offices stating your name, your shared address, and the address to which we should direct the additional copy of this Information Statement or by calling our principal executive offices at (540) 437-1688. If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement and would prefer us to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may send notification to or call our principal executive offices. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement and would prefer us to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of that request may also be made by mail or telephone call to our principal executive offices.
This Information Statement and other reports that we file with the SEC contain forward-looking statements about our business containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and words of similar import. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results or performance to be materially different from the results or performance anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as specified in SEC regulations, we have no duty to publicly release information that updates the forward-looking statements contained in this Information Statement. An investment in our Company involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described elsewhere in this Information Statement.
Under Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, no stockholder has any right to dissent to the proposed Amendment, and no stockholder is entitled to appraisal of or payment for their shares of our stock.
As of the Record Date, our authorized capitalization consisted of 50,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of which 22,242,143 shares were issued and outstanding.
Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders.

No consideration was paid for the consent of any Consenting Stockholder.
Relationship of Consenting Stockholders to the Company
Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund loaned our direct Irish subsidiary an aggregate of €2.45 million in two separate tranches in 2008. During January 2009, we defaulted under an instrument governing one of the loans by reason of our failure to pay interest when due. This resulted in a cross default under the instruments governing both loans. During March and April 2009, we entered into a series of agreements with Trafalgar to restructure the loans. In connection with the restructuring, our then principal stockholders, Milton Dresner and Joseph Dresner, transferred to Trafalgar the shares of our Common Stock that it currently owns. As of May 29, 2009, we owe Trafalgar approximately €2.21 million. Jeffrey Sternberg, a director of the Company, is an employee of Trafalgar.
Milton Dresner has been a director of our Company since March 18, 2004 and currently serves as a director of our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Since our inception, Mr. Dresner has loaned funds to the Company for working capital, as evidenced by promissory notes which bear interest at rates ranging from prime plus 2% to prime plus 3%, and as of May 29, 2009, we owed Mr. Dresner approximately $917,500 plus accrued interest. In addition, he has guaranteed amounts due under promissory notes in the principal amount of $4 million. Mr. Dresner is the brother of Joseph Dresner, a former director of the Company.
Joseph Dresner served as a director of our Company from March 2004 until June 2008 and served as a director of our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Since our inception, Mr. Dresner has loaned funds to the Company for working capital, as evidenced by promissory notes which bear interest at rates ranging from prime plus 2% to prime plus 3%, and as of May 29, 2009, we owed Mr. Dresner approximately $882,500 plus accrued interest. In addition, he has guaranteed amounts due under promissory notes in the principal amount of $4 million.
Nathan Miller served as an officer and director of the Company from March 2004 until July 2004. Mr. Miller previously has loaned funds to the Company and we currently are indebted to him in the principal amount of $183,177.

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
The approval to amend our certificate of incorporation to affect the Share Increase was approved by our board of directors and the Consenting Holders on May 29, 2009. Accordingly, we have secured the necessary authorization for the Amendment as required by Section 242 of the DGCL.
Increase of Authorized Common Stock of the Company
We currently are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the Record Date, 22,242,143 shares were issued and outstanding and there were outstanding securities entitling the holders thereof to acquire, either upon exercise or conversion, 3,675,000 additional shares of our Common Stock, leaving 24,082,857 shares of our Common Stock available for future issuance. Upon the effective date of the Share Increase, the number of shares of Common Stock available for future issuance would increase to 124,082,857 shares.
The terms of the newly authorized shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under the certificate of incorporation. The authorization of additional shares of Common Stock will not alter the current number of issued shares.
Our board of directors will be entitled to issue additional shares of our Common Stock authorized by the amendment for such purposes and such consideration as our board of directors may approve without further approval of our stockholders, except as may be required by law or the rules of any securities exchange on which our shares of Common Stock may be at the time listed. As is true for shares presently authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock authorized by the amendment may, when issued, have a dilutive effect on the equity and voting power of existing holders of Common Stock.
Reasons for the Share Increase
Our board of directors believes it is in the best interests of our Company and stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock to provide us with greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure. The Share Increase will enable us, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes. Having a substantial number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for specific purposes will allow us to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a meeting of stockholders or obtaining the written consent of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in our capitalization.
In light of our current financial condition, we have been seeking to raise capital to support the continued operation and development of our business and to satisfy our outstanding debt. Toward that end, we have entered into a Financial Services Agreement with an investment advisor located in Germany to render strategic and financial consulting services, including managing a best efforts offering of up to 4,500,000 units of our securities. As proposed, each unit would comprise four shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase two shares of Common Stock. There are several conditions to proceeding with the offering and there is no assurance that we will satisfy these conditions, that any offering will occur, that we will sell any of the securities offered or raise any capital from the proposed offering. If we sold all units offered in the proposed offering and all warrants issued as a part of the units were exercised, we would be required to issue an additional 27,000,000 shares of Common Stock. When added to currently outstanding shares and the shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible securities (3,675,000 shares), our current capitalization would be insufficient to accommodate the issuance of all of the securities which may be issued after the date hereof. Accordingly, in order to proceed with the offering of our securities, our board of directors and the Consenting Stockholders had to take action to increase our authorized capital.
The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have other effects on our stockholders, depending upon the nature and circumstances of any future issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of our Company more difficult. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with our management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. Please see “Potential Anti-takeover Effects” below for a more detailed discussion of the potential anti-takeover effects of the increase in our authorized capital.
Potential Anti-takeover Effects
Release No. 34-15230 of the staff of the SEC requires us to disclose and discuss the effects of any stockholder proposal that may be used as an anti-takeover device. However, the purpose of the increase in our authorized Common Stock is to facilitate the potential equity financing transaction described above and to provide us with greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure. Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, the increase in our authorized stock is not being undertaken in response to any effort of which our board of directors is aware to accumulate shares of our Common Stock or obtain control of our Company. Other than the increase in our authorized Common Stock, our board of directors does not currently contemplate the adoption of any other amendments to our certificate of incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the control of our Company. While it is possible that management could use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders, we currently have no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that many have anti-takeover ramifications.
Other provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of our Company or changing our board of directors and management. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors may issue, without further stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series within a class. As of the date hereof, no preferred stock has been designated nor have any shares of preferred stock been issued. Any preferred stock issued in the future may rank senior to our Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both. In addition, any such shares of preferred stock may have class or series voting rights. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws as presently in effect, neither the holders of our Common Stock nor the holders of preferred stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our Company by replacing our board of directors.
Effective Date of the Share Increase
The Effective Date of the Share Increase (the ‘‘Effective Date’’) will be 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is accepted and recorded by the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Section 103 of the DGCL, which is anticipated to be on or after July 6, 2009, but in no case will the Effective Date be earlier than 20 calendar days after the date this Information Statement is first mailed to stockholders. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A. The text of the amendment to the articles of incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Delaware Secretary of State to effectuate the Share Increase.
The Company believes that there are no federal income tax consequences to the holders as of the record date of our Common Stock as a result of the Amendment to increase our authorized capital. However, the Company’s beliefs regarding the tax consequence of the increase to our authorized capital are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will accept the positions expressed above. This summary does not purport to be complete and does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident foreign individuals, broker-dealers and tax exempt entities. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the federal, state and local tax consequences of the Amendment to increase our authorized capital.
PROPOSALS BY SECURITY HOLDERS
As of the date of this Information Statement, no proposals have been received by the Company.
We are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith, we file periodic reports, documents and other information with the SEC relating to our business, financial statements and other matters. Such reports and other information may be inspected and are available for copying at the offices of the SEC, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 or may be accessed at www.sec.gov. Information regarding the operation of the public reference rooms may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
We will provide, upon request and without charge, to each stockholder receiving this Information Statement a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 and a copy of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended January 31, 2009, including the financial statements and financial statement schedule information included therein, as filed with the SEC.
