On April 20, 2006, GTECH Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ending February 25, 2006 (the “2006 10-K”).

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Company’s 2006 10-K to set forth the information required by Part III of Form 10-K, as required by Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K, due to the fact that the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will not be filed within 120 days after the end of the Company’s 2006 fiscal year.

This column includes, with respect to fiscal 2004, the value of awards of Restricted Shares granted under the Plans pursuant to the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program, valued as of the last day of fiscal 2004. (No Named Officer (other than Mr. DeSocio who received a cash bonus) received an incentive bonus for fiscal 2005. Furthermore, in anticipation of completion of the Merger, the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program was suspended for fiscal 2006. Accordingly, the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program did not apply to fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006, with respect to the Named Officers). Under this program, as in effect for fiscal 2004, each executive officer of the Company, including each Named Officer (other than Mr. DeSocio who joined the Company in fiscal 2005), was required to receive a portion of his or her incentive bonus in the form of Restricted Shares, and could elect to receive an additional portion of his or her incentive bonus in Restricted Shares which vest immediately upon grant, but are subject to transfer restrictions for either two or three years from the date of award.

| |
| Management Stock Bonus Program, each Named Officer (other than Mr. DeSocio who joined the Company in fiscal 2005), received with respect to fiscal 2004 additional grants of Restricted Shares, which vest in two or three years, as the case may be, assuming that the executive is continuously employed by the Company during the vesting period.

Compensation Of Directors
Each non-employee director currently receives an annual retainer of $50,000 (or, in the case of a director who serves less than all of a fiscal year, a pro rata portion of such amount for such year), and an additional annual fee of $10,000 for each Board committee chaired by such director. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional fee of $50,000 per year. In addition, under compensation arrangements for directors that were implemented commencing in fiscal 2004, each sitting director receives annual grants of 3,000 restricted shares and non-qualified options to acquire 10,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and each new director receives, in the year of his joining, non-qualified options to acquire 15,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and an initial grant of 5,000 restricted shares.
On August 2, 2005, in accordance with these compensation arrangements, each of the eight non-employee directors then in office was granted, under the Company’s 2002 Omnibus Stock Option and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), non-qualified options to acquire 10,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $30.08. Such options become exercisable in four equal installments on the anniversaries of the date of grant and remain exercisable for a ten-year term. In addition, on August 2, 2005, each of the eight non-employee directors then in office was granted 3,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the 2002 Plan. Such restricted shares vest and become non-forfeitable in four equal installments on the anniversaries of the date of grant.
Under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, each director is required to have a substantial personal investment in the Company’s Common Stock. This stock ownership requirement, which is phased in over five years, ultimately will require each director to own shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at three times the amount of the then annual fees paid to directors.
Employment Agreements and Arrangements
Mr. Turner
At the commencement of fiscal 2006, the Company was party to athree-year employment agreement entered into in August 2002 (the “August 2002 Agreement”) with W. Bruce Turner, who serves as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. In August 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Turner (the “August 2005 Agreement”) which superceded in its entirety the August 2002 Agreement upon the latter agreement’s termination in accordance with its terms in August 2005. At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on June 7, 2006, the stockholders of the Company voted on and approved a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 10, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Lottomatica S.p.A., its subsidiaries Gold Holding Co. and Gold Acquisition Corp., and the Company. The merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”) has not yet been completed. If the Merger is completed, the Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lottomatica S.p.A. and each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock (other than shares held by the Company, Lottomatica S.p.A. or any of their respective subsidiaries that will be canceled and shares held by holders who properly elect to exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash, without interest.
In April 2006, Mr. Turner entered into an employment agreement with Lottomatica S.p.A. (the “Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement”) that will take effect upon completion of the Merger and which will supercede the August 2005 Agreement.
The August 2002 Agreement. In August 2002, following the departure of the Company’s previous President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company and Mr. Turner entered into the August 2002 Agreement, which agreement superceded in its entirety his earlier employment agreement, which had been scheduled to terminate in accordance with its terms on August 9, 2002. The August 2002 Agreement provided for Mr. Turner to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term of three years, subject to earlier termination as provided in the agreement. Mr. Turner’s August 2002 Agreement also provided for Mr. Turner to receive a one-time after tax payment of $100,000, an annual base salary (as adjusted for fiscal 2006) of $750,000 subject to annual review, as well as an annual performance bonus of up to a maximum of two times his base salary, and various benefits, including, without limitation, relocation expense reimbursement, an automobile allowance (which has since been discontinued for Mr. Turner and other senior
9
executives), life insurance, medical coverage, participation in the Company’s Executive Perquisites Plan and other deferred compensation plans and programs in a manner similar to other senior executives at the Company, as well as certain professional services. The August 2002 Agreement provided for Mr. Turner’s performance bonus to be determined with respect to each fiscal year during the term of the agreement (commencing with fiscal 2003) in accordance with the performance metrics (and, with respect to fiscal years after fiscal 2003, also in accordance with the management business objectives included in the Company’s management incentive plan) approved annually by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee or the Board for all senior executives of the Company. Mr. Turner’s August 2002 Agreement stated that his target annual performance bonus was 100% of base salary, and that his performance bonus would be paid in a mix of cash and discounted restricted stock (which shall not mandatorily exceed 20% of the performance bonus with respect to fiscal years after 2003) in such proportions and, generally on such terms, as the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may decide.
Pursuant to the terms of the August 2002 Agreement, on September 6, 2002, Mr. Turner was granted under the Company’s 2002 Omnibus Stock Option and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) options to purchase (on a pre-split adjusted basis) 265,000 shares of Common Stock, at a (pre-split adjusted) per-share option exercise price of $19.36, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, and (on a pre-split adjusted basis) 41,000 shares of restricted stock. As specified in the August 2002 Agreement, the options and restricted shares granted vest in equal installments on each of the first second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. Mr. Turner was eligible for consideration by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee for subsequent annual incentive compensation grants under the 2002 Plan, or any successor plan, in the discretion of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee.
Under the August 2002 Agreement, if Mr. Turner’s employment with the Company had been terminated by reason of his death, discharge for cause (as defined in the agreement) or resignation for other than good reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Turner (or his estate, as the case may be) would have been entitled to his base salary through the effective date of such termination, any accrued but unpaid performance bonus for the prior fiscal year, and any other amounts to which Mr. Turner would have been entitled to under the agreement up to the effective date of such termination.
If Mr. Turner’s employment had been terminated by reason of disability, discharge without cause or by reason of Mr. Turner’s resignation for good reason, he would have been entitled under the terms of the August 2002 Agreement to receive: (i) his base salary through the effective date of termination, (ii) an amount equal to one year of average cash compensation (defined as meaning, except as specified below, the average base salary and performance bonus paid or payable to Mr. Turner for the most recent complete fiscal year or fiscal years (up to three)), (iii) any accrued but unpaid performance bonus in respect of the prior fiscal year, (iv) a prorated performance bonus payable in respect of the fiscal year of termination, if applicable, and (v) any other amounts to which Mr. Turner would be entitled under the employment agreement up to the effective date of termination.
Mr. Turner’s August 2002 Agreement provided that if his employment was terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause, or in the event that he resigned for good reason, within eighteen months after a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement), the Company was required to pay Mr. Turner a lump sum cash payment in lieu of the severance payments summarized above in an amount equal to 2.99 times the sum of (i) Mr. Turner’s then current annual base salary in effect at the date of termination, plus (ii) the total performance bonus paid or payable to Mr. Turner from the Company for the most recent full fiscal year of the Company, plus (iii) the maximum amount allowable under the Executive Perquisite Program during the most recent calendar year of the Company. In addition, the Company was required to pay Mr. Turner within 10 days after such termination (i) his base salary accrued through the date of such termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to such date; (ii) any accrued but unpaid performance bonus for the prior fiscal year; (iii) any prorated performance bonus up to the date of such termination calculated by reference to Mr. Turner’s target performance bonus, as determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee for the current fiscal year; and (iv) any other amounts to which he was entitled under the terms of the employment agreement up to the date of such termination.
In addition, in the event of the termination of his employment by reason of a change of control, Mr. Turner (together with, as applicable, his beneficiaries and dependents) would have become fully vested in, and would continue for three years to participate fully in (at no additional cost to Mr. Turner) all life
10
insurance plans, retirement plans, accident and health plans and other welfare plans maintained or sponsored by the Company prior to termination. The Company would also have been required to pay Mr. Turner an amount equal to the sum of all benefits accrued under the Company’s non-qualified plans, and 2.99 times the average benefit accrued and/or Company contributions made to the retirement plans and non-qualified plans over the last three years. Mr. Turner’s August 2002 Agreement further provided for the payment to Mr. Turner of amounts equal to any excise tax due as any payment or benefit constituting a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), together with amounts necessary to gross-up Mr. Turner for any taxes due with respect thereto.
Mr. Turner agreed under the terms of the August 2002 Agreement: (i) during the term of the agreement and for three years thereafter, to provide reasonable assistance to the Company in connection with any litigation and/or governmental investigation or review involving the Company (subject to receiving reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses), (ii) to not knowingly use for his own benefit or disclose to any person any confidential information relating to the Company (subject to standard exceptions), (iii) that all intellectual property rights relating to the business of the Company developed during the period of his employment with the Company are owned by the Company; and (iv) during the term of the agreement and for two years thereafter, not to engage in any lottery business (as defined in the agreement) anywhere in the world, or disturb or interfere with any business relationship between the Company and its customers, suppliers or business associates (including its employees).
The August 2005 Agreement. On August 2, 2005, the Company entered into the August 2005 Agreement with Mr. Turner. The August 2005 Agreement became effective upon termination of the August 2002 Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The August 2005 Agreement provides for Mr. Turner’s annual performance bonus to be determined with respect to each fiscal year during the term of the agreement in accordance with the performance metrics (and the management business objectives included in the Company’s management incentive plan) approved annually by the Board of Directors for all senior executives of the Company. The August 2005 Agreement provides that Mr. Turner’s target annual performance bonus will be 100% of base salary, and that his performance bonus shall be paid in a mix of cash and discounted restricted stock (which shall not exceed 30% of the performance bonus) in such proportions and, generally on such terms, as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may decide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of Mr. Turner’s performance bonus paid in stock in lieu of cash shall vest immediately (subject to generally applicable transfer restrictions) and Mr. Turner may elect to receive up to 100% of his performance bonus in the form of discounted restricted stock.
Mr. Turner shall be eligible for consideration by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of Board for annual grants of stock options and other long-term incentive awards under the Company’s 2002 Plan, or any successor plan, in the sole discretion of the Committee. All grants of stock options and restricted stock are subject to and conditioned upon the Company obtaining all necessary shareholder approvals, if any, and Mr. Turner entering into the Company’s standard option and restricted stock agreements. The August 2005 Agreement provides that not less than 35% of the calculated value of annual long-term incentive grants under the 2002 Plan (or subsequent plan) shall be provided to Mr. Turner in restricted stock, and that the terms and conditions governing the grant and exercise of options, and the grant and vesting of restricted stock,
11
shall be substantially similar to such terms and conditions as are in effect as of the effective date of the August 2005 Agreement.
Under the August 2005 Agreement, if Mr. Turner’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of his death, discharge for cause (as defined in the agreement) or resignation for other than good reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Turner (or his estate, as the case may be) is entitled to receive his base salary through the effective date of such termination, any accrued but unpaid performance bonus for the prior fiscal year, and any other amounts to which Mr. Turner would be entitled to under the agreement up to the effective date of such termination. In such event, all unvested stock options and grants of restricted stock are forfeited by Mr. Turner. In the event of Mr. Turner’s death, medical and insurance benefits are extended to his family through the end of the month that Mr. Turner would have attained age 65, and his estate will have up to eighteen months to exercise vested options.
If Mr. Turner’s employment is terminated by reason of disability, discharge without cause or by reason of Mr. Turner’s resignation for good reason, he is entitled under the terms of the August 2005 Agreement to receive: (i) his base salary through the effective date of termination, (ii) an amount equal to eighteen months of annual cash compensation (defined as meaning the most recent annualized base salary paid or payable to Mr. Turner, plus the average performance bonus paid or payable to Mr. Turner for the three most recent completed fiscal years of employment), (iii) any accrued but unpaid performance bonus for the prior fiscal year, (iv) a prorated performance bonus payable in respect of the fiscal year of termination, if applicable, and (v) any other amounts to which Mr. Turner would be entitled under the August 2005 Agreement up to the effective date of termination.
Mr. Turner will continue to receive for eighteen months following termination, the life insurance and the Executive Perquisites Plan and deferred compensation benefits provided for under the August 2005 Employment Agreement, and the medical benefits provided for in the agreement shall continue through February 2010 (subject to extension). In addition, Mr. Turner will fully vest in all benefits under Company plans, and all of his stock options and restricted stock grants shall vest, and Mr. Turner shall have eighteen months from the date of the termination of employment to exercise any vested options which he holds.
The August 2005 Agreement permits Mr. Turner to terminate the agreement upon reaching retirement (i.e., when the sum of his age and years of continuous full-time employment by the Company total 65 or more). In such event, all medical benefits shall continue until Mr. Turner attains age 65, vested options remain exercisable after retirement in accordance with their terms, and a specified percentage of unvested restricted stock (between 50% and 100% depending upon the precise time of Mr. Turner’s retirement) vests.

In addition, the Company shall pay Mr. Turner within 10 days after such termination (i) his base salary accrued through the date of such termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to such date; (ii) any accrued but unpaid performance bonus for the prior fiscal year; (iii) any prorated performance bonus up to the date of such termination calculated by reference to Mr. Turner’s target performance bonus, as determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee for the current fiscal year; and (iv) any other amounts to which he is entitled under the terms of the August 2005 Agreement up to the date of such termination.
In addition, in the event of the termination of his employment by reason of a change-in-control, Mr. Turner (together with, as applicable, his beneficiaries and dependents) will become fully vested in, and will continue for four years (subject to extension of up to three additional years in certain circumstances, and until Mr. Turner reaches age 65 if he qualifies under the Company’s Retirement Plan) to participate fully in (at no additional cost to Mr. Turner) all life insurance plans, accident and health plans and other welfare plans maintained or sponsored by the Company prior to termination. In such circumstances, Mr. Turner will also
12
become fully vested in the Company retirement plans, and all non-qualified plans, and the Company will be required to pay Mr. Turner an amount equal to the sum of all benefits accrued under the Company’s non-qualified plans, and 2.99 times the average benefit accrued and/or Company contributions made to the retirement plans and non-qualified plans over the last three fiscal years prior to termination.

The Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement. In April 2006, Mr. Turner and Lottomatica entered into a new employment agreement, the Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement, that will take effect upon completion of the Merger and which will supercede the August 2005 Agreement. The Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement will have a five-year term commencing upon completion of the Merger. Pursuant to the Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement, Mr. Turner will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Lottomatica S.p.A. and the Company and, if elected, will serve as Managing Director of Lottomatica S.p.A. His annual base salary pursuant to the agreement will be $850,000, and he will be entitled to a level of benefits during the term of the agreement that is substantially similar to the level of benefits provided generally to other senior executives of Lottomatica S.p.A., and executive perquisites substantially equivalent to the perquisites that Mr. Turner is currently entitled to receive. During the term, Mr. Turner will be eligible for a performance bonus ranging from 0% to 200% of his annual base salary, with a target bonus of 100% of base salary, which is the same as his bonus range and target bonus pursuant to his current employment agreement.
Pursuant to the Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement, in the event of a termination of Mr. Turner’s employment by Lottomatica S.p.A. for any reason other than cause or a resignation by Mr. Turner for good reason (as such terms are defined in the agreement) during the18-month period following a change in control (which includes the Merger), he will be entitled to substantially the same payments and benefits set forth in the August 2005 Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to agross-up payment to make Mr. Turner whole for any effect of any payments being subject to the excise tax on golden parachute payments. In the event of a qualifying termination of Mr. Turner’s employment, other than during the18-month period following a change in control, Mr. Turner will be entitled to receive: (i) an amount equal to 18 months of his most recent annual base salary, payable in installments over 18 months, (ii) a lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to 1.5 times the average performance bonus paid or payable to Mr. Turner with respect to the three most recently completed fiscal years of employment and (iii) a prorated performance bonus, if any, payable with respect to the fiscal year of termination, payable at the same time as other executives receive such bonuses and based on the executive’s actual performance during the year. In addition, Mr. Turner will continue to receive certain life insurance, perquisite and tax preparation benefits for 18 months following termination, and will continue to receive certain medical benefits for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement, plus an additional period of up to five and a half years thereafter (and until Mr. Turner reaches age 65, if he qualifies under Lottomatica’s Retirement Plan). In the event of a qualifying termination, Mr. Turner will fully vest in all benefits accrued under any employee benefit plans, other than qualified retirement plans, and to the extent that Mr. Turner is not fully vested in all qualified retirement plans, he will receive a payment equal to any unvested portion of his accounts in such retirement plans. Furthermore, any unvested equity awards granted pursuant to the new employment agreement then held by Mr. Turner will become fully vested, and Mr. Turner will be entitled to any vested stock options that
13
he holds until the earlier of 18 months from the date of termination of his employment or the date such stock options expire.
In the event of a termination of Mr. Turner’s employment as a result of retirement (which cannot occur until the fifth anniversary of the Merger and until the sum of his age and years of service with Lottomatica and the Company is at least 65), Mr. Turner will be entitled to continue medical benefits until age 65. In addition, any vested stock options that he holds will remain exercisable until they expire, and he will be entitled to accelerated vesting of some or all of the unvested restricted stock units that are granted pursuant to the Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement. The percentage of unvested awards that accelerates will depend on his age and years of service at the time of retirement. The Turner/ Lottomatica Agreement provides that Lottomatica S.p.A. will enter into a tax equalization agreement with Mr. Turner to make Mr. Turner whole to the extent that his local tax liability under both United States and Italian tax laws is in excess of the total tax liability if he was only subject to tax under United States laws.
Other Named Officers
Except as provided below (with respect to certain employment agreements entered into after the close of fiscal 2006 which are to become effective upon completion of the Merger) the Company does not presently have formal employment agreements with the other current Named Officers, although the Company and these executives (and certain other executives) have entered into: (i) change in control agreements, with respect to employment arrangements in the event of a change in control of the Company and (ii) severance agreements, with respect to the termination of such executives’ employment by the Company in circumstances other than a change in control of the Company.
The change in control agreements referenced above provide for three-year employment terms for the covered executives commencing upon the date a change in control (as defined in the agreements which definition would include completion of the Merger), occurs, or earlier in certain circumstances where actions are taken in anticipation of a change in control. During such employment term, the covered executive is to be employed in a position at least equal in all material respects with the highest position held by such executive during the six months immediately preceding the change in control, and will be entitled to a base annual salary, and annual bonus and benefits in values and amounts at least equal to those provided by the Company to the executive immediately prior to the commencement of the term of employment. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change in control, all benefits accrued by the executive under all non-qualified Company plans (including the Supplemental Retirement Plan) will become fully vested and shall be contributed to a rabbi trust for the benefit of the covered executive, and all options held by the executive will become fully vested and exercisable by the executive.
If, following a change in control of the Company, an executive’s employment is terminated during the term of employment (including as a result of resignation by executive with good reason, as defined in the agreement), such agreement provides with respect to the year in which his employment is terminated, that he will receive his base salary, bonus, and other compensation and benefits through the date of termination in accordance with Company policy in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the term of employment. In the event that a covered executive’s employment is terminated (other than for cause, as defined in the agreement) or such executive resigns for good reason, the Company is obligated to pay an amount equal to 2.99 times the sum of: (i) his then-current annual base salary; (ii) the total cash bonus received by the executive during the most recent full fiscal year; plus (iii) the maximum amount allowable under the Executive Perquisite Program during the most recent calendar year. In addition, the covered executive (together with his beneficiaries and dependents) will become fully vested in and continue to participate for up to three years at no cost to the executive in all Company life insurance and welfare plans on terms at least as favorable to executive as in effect immediately prior to termination. In addition, the executive will be entitled to receive the sum of all benefits accrued under the non-qualified plans plus the product of 2.99 times the average benefit accrued and/or contributions made to such non-qualified plans over the preceding three years. Such agreements further provide for the payment to the covered executives of amounts equal to any excise tax due as any payment or benefit constituting a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, together with amounts necessary to gross-up such executives for any taxes due with
14
respect thereto. Under the terms of the Company’s option plans and various agreements, the exercisability of outstanding stock options may accelerate in the event of a change in control or termination of employment.
The severance agreements referenced above provide that in the event that the Company terminates the executive’s employment (other than for cause (as defined in the severance agreement) or by reason of the executive’s death, disability, or resignation), the Company shall, for a period of 12 months after termination, continue paying executive’s base salary and providing executive with specified insurance benefits.
After the close of fiscal 2006, Messrs. Patel and DeSocio entered into employment agreements with Lottomatica S.p.A., and Mr. Sweitzer (with Messrs. Patel and DeSocio, the “Covered Officers”) entered into an employment agreement with Lottomatica S.p.A. and the Company, that will take effect upon completion of the Merger. These new employment agreements will replace the Covered Officers’ respective existing severance agreements, change in control agreements and restrictive/non-competition agreements described above.
The new employment agreements with Messrs. Patel and DeSocio will have a five-year term that will commence upon completion of the Merger. The new employment agreement with Mr. Sweitzer will have a two-year term, subject to three one-year extensions at Mr. Sweitzer’s option, that will commence upon completion of the Merger. Pursuant to the new employment agreements, Mr. Patel will serve as Chief Financial Officer of Lottomatica S.p.A. and the Company, Mr. DeSocio will serve as Chief Administrative Officer of Lottomatica S.p.A. and the Company and Mr. Sweitzer will serve as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Public Affairs and Global Business Development following completion of the Merger. The annual base salaries of the Covered Officers will remain at the current levels (except for Mr. DeSocio, whose annual base salary will increase by $25,000, and Mr. Patel, whose annual base salary will increase by $35,000), and they will be entitled to a level of benefits during the term of their new employment agreements that are substantially similar to the level of benefits provided generally to other senior executives of Lottomatica S.p.A., and executive perquisites substantially equivalent to the perquisites that the executives are currently entitled to receive. Each Covered Officer’s target bonus will remain at the same percentage of annual base salary that is currently in effect (except that Mr. DeSocio’s target bonus will increase from 65% of his annual base salary to 75% of his annual base salary).
Pursuant to the new employment agreements, in the event of a termination of a Covered Officer’s employment for any reason other than cause or a resignation by the Covered Officer for good reason (as such terms are defined in the new agreements) during the 18-month period following a change in control (which includes the proposed merger), the Covered Officer will be entitled to substantially the same payments and benefits set forth in his current change in control agreement. Pursuant to the current change in control agreements, executives would be entitled to severance and other post-termination benefits in the event of a termination of employment during the three-year period following a change in control. The new employment agreements will also provide for certain payments and benefits to an executive in the event of qualifying termination of the executive’s employment that is not within 18 months after a change in control. Upon such a termination, the executive will be entitled to receive: (i) an amount equal to 18 months of the executive’s most recent annual base salary, payable in installments over 18 months, (ii) a lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to 1.5 times the average performance bonus paid or payable to the executive for his or her three most recent completed fiscal years of employment and (iii) a prorated performance bonus, if any, payable with respect to the fiscal year of termination, payable at the same time as other executives receive such bonuses and based on the executive’s actual performance during the year. In addition, the executive will continue to receive certain life insurance, perquisite and tax preparation benefits for 18 months following termination, and will continue to receive certain medical benefits for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement and an additional period of 18 months thereafter. The executive will fully vest in all benefits accrued under any employee benefit plans, other than qualified retirement plans, and to the extent that the executive is not fully vested in all qualified retirement plans, he or she will receive a payment equal to any unvested portion of his or her accounts in such retirement plans. Furthermore, any unvested retention equity awards (or, in the case of Mr. Patel, any unvested equity awards) granted pursuant to the new employment agreement then held by the executive will become fully vested, and the executive will be entitled
15
to exercise any vested stock options that he or she holds until the earlier of 18 months from the date of termination of employment or the date such stock options expire.
In the event of a termination of an executive’s employment as a result of retirement, any vested stock options that the executive holds will remain exercisable until they expire, and the executive will be entitled to accelerated vesting of some or all of the unvested restricted stock units that were granted pursuant to the employment agreement. The percentage of unvested awards that accelerates will depend on the executive’s age and years of service at the time of retirement.
The new employment agreements provide that Lottomatica S.p.A. will enter into a tax equalization agreement with the applicable executive to make the executive whole to the extent that his or her total tax liability under both United States and Italian tax laws is in excess of the total tax liability if the executive was only subject to tax under United States laws.
Mr. Sweitzer’s new employment agreement will also provide that upon his retirement, the Company will enter into a five year consulting arrangement with Mr. Sweitzer.
Company Plans
The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) retirement savings and profit sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering (subject to applicable time of service requirements) substantially all full-time employees in the United States, including the Named Officers. Under the 401(k) Plan, an eligible employee may elect to defer receipt of a portion of base pay for each year. The Company contributes this amount on the employee’s behalf to the 401(k) Plan and also makes a matching contribution. For periods prior to January 1, 2001, the employer matching contribution was equal to 50% of the amount that the employee had elected to defer up to 5%, for a maximum matching contribution of 2.5% of the employee’s base pay. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company increased the matching contribution for the 401(k) Plan to 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% that the employee has elected to defer, up to a maximum matching contribution of 4% of the employee’s base pay. Effective March 1, 2003, the Company has decreased its matching contribution for the 401(k) Plan, in order to align with competitive practice, such that the Company will match up to 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s base pay that the employer elects to defer. The Company, at its discretion, may contribute additional amounts to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of employees based upon its profits for a given fiscal year. Participants are 100% vested at all times in their own contributions to the 401(k) Plan and in one year from the date of hire for company contributions. Benefits under the 401(k) Plan generally will be paid to participants upon retirement or in certain other limited circumstances. The Company also had a Supplemental Retirement Plan, that is a defined contribution plan that provides to certain key employees, including the Named Officers, additional retirement benefits. The Company, at its discretion, may contribute additional amounts to the plan on behalf of such key employees equal to the percentage of profit sharing contributions contributed for the calendar year, multiplied by the key employees’ compensation (as defined) for such year. See “Summary Compensation Table,” above. The Supplemental Retirement Plan was intended to provide additional retirement benefits to those executive officers whose Company profit sharing contribution to the 401(k) plan is limited as a result of limitations on compensation set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Beginning in fiscal 2005, with the elimination of profit sharing as approved by the Board of Directors, the Supplemental Retirement Plan was eliminated for executive officers, including the Named Officers. For fiscal 2004, the Supplemental Retirement Plan funds were automatically transferred to the executive’s Income Deferral Plan account.
Incentive bonuses for senior staff, including the Named Officers, are calculated under two distinct plans: Under the Corporate Financials Management Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting, specific annual performance targets for the Company are established. Ninety percent of the bonus payable to a participant under the Corporate Financials Management Incentive Plan is determined by reference to achievement against an operating income performance target, and the remaining ten percent of bonus payable to a participant under the plan is determined by reference to achievement against a revenue growth performance target. Target bonuses are set for each individual, and in
16
no event will the target bonus exceed 90% of the individual’s base salary, or will the maximum bonus payable exceed two times the amount of the target bonus, or a maximum amount of the lesser of 180% of the individual’s base salary or $1,900,000. The second component of the Company’s incentive bonus policy, the Management by Objective Plan (or MBO Plan), is based upon achievement against individual goals. As presently structured, bonuses under the MBO Plan may not exceed 10% of the participant’s base salary with regard to a fiscal year.
Under the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program, each executive officer is required to receive a specified percentage of his or her bonus for a given fiscal year in the form of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, each executive officer is generally provided with the opportunity to elect to receive any portion of the remainder of his or her bonus for such fiscal year in the form of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Both the mandatory stock bonus and the optional stock bonus generally vest immediately upon grant, and are restricted from sale or transfer for a two (2) year period from the effective date of the award.
The following paragraph describes the terms of certain additional awards of restricted shares under the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program.
Under the terms of the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program, each executive officer is generally eligible to receive a supplemental award of restricted shares, determined using a 20% discount from the original stock price as applied to the mandatory stock bonus (the “mandatory 20% discount award”). The mandatory 20% discount award generally vests two years after the effective date of the award, if the executive officer is continuously employed by the Company for such two year period. If the executive officer elects with respect to a given fiscal year to receive an optional stock bonus, he or she is generally awarded a supplemental stock bonus calculated using a 20% discount from the original stock price (the “optional 20% discount award”). The optional 20% discount award will also vest two years from the effective date of the award, provided that the executive officer is continuously employed by the Company for such two year period and has retained ownership, without any transfer or assignment, of all such restricted shares granted under the Management Stock Bonus Program. Further, if the executive officer elects to retain the mandatory and optional stock bonus awards for an additional third year, he or she is generally eligible to receive a supplemental stock bonus calculated using a 25% discount from the original stock price (the “optional 25% discount award”). The optional 25% discount award will generally vest if the executive officer remains continuously employed by the Company for a three year period from the effective date of the award and has retained ownership, without transfer or assignment, of all such restricted shares granted under the Management Stock Bonus Program during that period.
Under the terms of the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program if the executive officer is terminated for cause or resigns before the applicable restriction (i.e., two or three years) lapses, the mandatory 20% discount award, optional 20% discount award and optional 25% discount award are generally forfeited. If the employment relationship terminates for any other reason, stock awarded under the optional 20% discount award and optional 25% discount award will vest, and the restrictions on sale or transfer of the stock continue for the two or three year period. The shares issued to the executive officers pursuant to the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program are funded out of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held in treasury. All grants of shares are subject to the terms and conditions of applicable agreements with each executive officer and the provisions of the Company’s 2002 Plan. See “Summary Compensation Table” above.
No executive officer of the Company received an incentive bonus for fiscal 2005 (other than Mr. DeSocio who received a cash bonus) and, in anticipation of completion of the Merger, the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program was suspended for fiscal 2006. Accordingly, no awards were made for fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006 under the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program to executive officers of the Company.
After the close of fiscal 2003, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee adopted the Senior Staff Officer Stock Ownership Plan (the “Stock Ownership Plan”) with effect from and after fiscal 2004. Under the terms of the Stock Ownership Plan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its senior staff (which include the Company’s Senior Vice President, Global Business Development and Public Affairs; Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Senior Vice President, Gaming Solutions; Senior Vice
17
President, General Counsel and Secretary; and Senior Vice President, Global Services; and such other executives as may be from time-to-time designated as members of senior staff) are required to own Common Stock with a market value equal to, or greater than, a specified percentage of their respective base salaries. By the end of fiscal 2006, the Chief Executive Officer was required to own Common Stock with a market value of not less than 120% of his base salary, while other Stock Ownership Plan participants are required to own Common Stock with a market value of not less than 60% of their respective base salaries (unless such other participants were not members of senior staff at the start of fiscal 2004). The stock ownership requirements of the Stock Ownership Plan (expressed as a percentage of each participant’s base salary) increase in ratable annual increments, until, with respect to fiscal 2008 and subsequent years, the Chief Executive Officer is required to own Common Stock with a market value of not less than 200% of his base salary, while other Stock Ownership Plan participants are required to own Common Stock with a market value of not less than 100% of their respective base salaries.
Compliance with these stock ownership requirements shall be tested as of the close of each fiscal year based upon then-existing Common Stock values and base salaries, and shall be monitored through a process by which the Company’s Legal Department must pre-approve sales of Common Stock by Stock Ownership Plan participants. At the end of fiscal 2006, all Stock Ownership Plan participants met or exceeded the holding requirements applicable to them for such year.
The terms of the Stock Ownership Plan permit the Human Resources and Compensation Committee to grant exceptions to the requirements of the Stock Ownership Plan in cases of hardship or other exceptional circumstances.
Human Resources and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions
During fiscal 2006, decisions regarding executive compensation were made by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, and in some cases by the full Board, subject to the terms of applicable employment agreements and ratification by the full Board in certain circumstances. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee’s members during fiscal 2006 were Messrs. Donoho, Lochner, McCann and Ruys. Mr. Dewey serves as a non-voting, ex officio, member of each standing committee of the Board of Directors, including the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. During fiscal 2006, no relationship existed that requires reporting under this section between an executive officer of the Company and any other entity which had an executive officer or director who served on the Human Resources and Compensation Committee or the Board of the Company.
The Human Resources And Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
Policies regarding executive compensation are set by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors, and in some cases by the full Board, subject to the terms of applicable employment contracts, as discussed below, and possible consultation with and ratification by the Board in certain circumstances. The Committee had four voting members during fiscal 2006: Burnett W. Donoho, Philip R. Lochner, Jr., James F. McCann and Anthony Ruys. Robert M. Dewey, Jr., the non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, serves as a non-voting, ex officio, member of the Committee. All members of the Committee are outside independent directors.
The Committee believes that the Company must pay competitively to attract and retain qualified executives. To motivate executive personnel to perform at their full potential, the Committee believes that a significant portion of compensation should be incentive-based. This typically results in salary levels for Company executives around the median of competitive ranges, and bonuses, if performance is achieved, well above the median. While acknowledging the need to recognize individual performance in setting compensation, the Committee believes that it is of primary importance to reward executives based on corporate and business unit performance. This serves the dual purpose of encouraging teamwork among executives and also of supporting the Company’s objective of increasing shareholder value.
18
The Committee further believes that the Company’s objective of increasing shareholder value is fostered by a compensation policy that requires the Company’s Chief Executive Office and Senior Staff executives to own shares of stock in the Company, so as to more completely align the executives’ own interests with the interests, generally, of the Company’s stockholders. In furtherance of this policy, the Committee adopted, with effect for fiscal 2004 and subsequent years (including fiscal 2006), the Senior Staff Officer Stock Ownership Plan, which plan requires the Chief Executive Officer and members of the Company’s senior staff to own Common Stock with a market value equal to or greater than specified percentages of their respective base salaries. See “Employment Agreements and Arrangements — Company Plans” for a more detailed description of this plan.
Finally, the Committee believes that it is important that it retain the flexibility to evaluate not only corporate, business unit and individual performance, but also all other circumstances and challenges facing the Company. Consequently, while rewarding the achievement of performance objectives is the primary focus of the Committee’s compensation philosophy, the Committee may also use subjective criteria in setting and adjusting the base salary and (as described below) the annual bonus for executive officers.

| Executive Officer Employment Agreements. |
One individual named in the Summary Compensation Table above was party to an employment agreement with the Company that was in force during fiscal 2006. Mr. Turner, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with the Company in August 2005 (the “August 2005 Agreement”). Mr. Turner, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since August 2002, entered into a three-year agreement at that time (the “August 2002 Agreement”), which agreement expired in accordance with its terms in August 2005. See “Employment Agreements and Arrangements — Mr. Turner” for a detailed description of the August 2005 Agreement and the August 2002 Agreement.
The other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table above were not parties to employment agreements with respect to fiscal 2006, and their compensation for fiscal 2006 was determined based upon a review and recommendation by the President and Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of the Committee, and consideration of the principles set forth above and elsewhere in this report.
| |
| Principal Elements of Compensation. |
Compensation earned in fiscal 2006, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, consisted primarily of salary, annual bonus and awards of stock options and restricted stock. (Executive officers also received executive benefits, as well as other benefits offered under Company sponsored broad-based plans.) Executive officers also receive an annual contribution to a non-qualified income deferral plan.
Determination of Compensation. Target total compensation levels are determined after considering several factors including Company performance, responsibility level, internal pay equity and external pay practices. Competitive market data is provided by an independent compensation consulting firm retained by the Committee. Competitive data received by the Committee includes base salary, total cash compensation and long term incentive grants. In addition, the Committee periodically seeks recommendations of the above-referenced consultant.
Base Salary. Executive officers’ salaries are reviewed annually. In assessing whether salary increases are warranted with respect to those executive officers without employment agreements or in connection with discretionary increases under, or the amendment, extension or renewal of, an executive officer’s employment agreement, the Company considers a number of factors, including corporate profitability, performance on the job, responsibility level, internal compensation equity, external pay practices for comparable companies (not necessarily including the Peer Group companies referred to in the Shareholder Return Performance Graph below), the relationship of salary to the median of competitive ranges and the executive officer’s level of responsibility, experience and expertise, which factors may be given varying weights depending upon the circumstances.
Annual Bonus. The Company’s policy respecting the granting of annual bonuses is based primarily upon the aims of providing incentives for the achievement of corporate and business unit performance goals and
19
secondarily upon the achievement of individual objectives. Mr. Turner’s August 2005 Agreement provides for Mr. Turner’s performance bonus for fiscal 2006 to be determined within a specified range in accordance with performance metrics approved by the Committee. Executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table without employment agreements are eligible to receive annual bonuses under the Corporate Financials Management Incentive Plan, which establishes bonuses in relation to operating income and revenue performance targets for the Company, and under the Management by Objective Plan, which measures executive performance against individual goals. Annual performance metrics are established by the Board of Directors prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. In addition, in consideration for the significant additional burden placed on the Company’s management by virtue of preparations for the Company’s merger with Lottomatica S.p.A., the Committee awarded Mr. Turner and certain other executive officers additional discretionary bonus elements as part of their respective annual bonuses for fiscal 2006. In anticipation of the completion of the Company’s merger with Lottomatica, the Company’s Management Stock Bonus Program, under which a percentage of the annual bonus of executive officers must be (and additional amounts may be) paid in the form of restricted stock awards, was suspended for fiscal 2006. See “Employment Agreements and Arrangements — Company Plans” above for more information on the two incentive bonus programs and the Management Stock Bonus Program.
Stock-Based Incentive Awards. The Company’s 2002 Omnibus Stock Option and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), which permits the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and performance awards, was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the 2002 Annual Meeting. The 2002 Plan provides for the granting of awards to officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The principal purpose of the 2002 Plan is to assist the Company in attracting and retaining officers and other key employees, and to motivate them to increase shareholder value by enabling them to participate in the value which has been created.
Subject to such limitations as are provided for in the 2002 Plan, the aggregate number of annual grants to be made under the 2002 Plan, as well as the individuals to whom such grants shall be made and the amount of such individual grants, are all within the discretion of the Committee. The aggregate number of Shares subject to grant under the 2002 Plan, and predecessor plans of the Company, generally has been tied to specific financial targets which are set annually by the Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. In making individual awards, the Committee generally takes into account numerous factors, including the prospective recipient’s level of responsibility, contribution, performance, experience, expertise and years of service, as well as external compensation practices and internal compensation equity considerations.

| Rationale for Fiscal 2006 Compensation of Mr. Turner. |
Effective April 1, 2005, Mr. Turner’s annual base salary was $750,000, subject to annual adjustment, and he is eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to a maximum of two times his base salary, grants of stock options and restricted stock awards, and various benefits. Mr. Turner’s pay is determined on a total compensation basis, including base pay, bonus and stock-based awards. His total compensation is benchmarked against that of individuals in a similar position at competitors and other companies of a similar size and in similar industries. This benchmarking is performed by an independent firm for the Committee. The targets under the Company’s bonus plan are set in relation to operating income and revenue growth and, as applied to Mr. Turner, are identical to the performance goals applicable generally to other members of senior management. The specific goals are set at the beginning of each fiscal year and all management participants in the plan, including Mr. Turner, are accountable for their achievement. For fiscal 2006, the Company substantially met the financial objectives that were set at the start of the year, and Mr. Turner was accordingly awarded a performance bonus of $691,950 under the Company’s bonus plans. Mr. Turner was awarded an additional $708,050 in performance bonus in consideration for the significant additional burdens placed on Mr. Turner by virtue of preparations for the Company’s merger with Lottomatica S.p.A.
The Committee currently intends to continue its practice of basing executive compensation primarily on corporate and business unit performance, and secondarily, on its qualitative evaluation of individual performance. The Committee believes that its compensation policies promote the goals of attracting,
20
motivating, rewarding and retaining talented executives who will maximize value for the Company’s shareholders.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits to $1,000,000 the amount of compensation which may be deducted by the Company in any year with respect to each of its highest paid executive officers. Certain types of performance-based compensation, if approved by stockholders and/or otherwise exempted by Section 162(m), are not subject to this limitation. It is believed that the Company’s stock option plans in which executive officers are eligible to participate have been structured in such a way as to qualify as performance-based compensation not subject to the Section 162(m) limits on deductibility, and the Committee intends, based on the approval of the stockholders of the Corporate Financials Management Incentive Plan at the Company’s 2003 Annual Meeting, to qualify a portion of executive officers’ annual incentive bonuses so as to be exempt from such limits. However, the Committee believes that it is important to retain the flexibility to offer such compensation arrangements and plans as the Committee determines to be necessary from time to time to attract, retain and motivate executive officers without being constrained by considerations of Section 162(m) tax deductibility.

Shareholder Return Performance Graph
The graph set forth below compares, for the period February 24, 2001 through February 5, 2006 (the end of the Company’s 2006 fiscal year), the cumulative total return to holders of Common Stock of the Company with the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor’s Composite 500 Index (the “S&P 500”), and a peer group index (“Peer Group”) of four companies selected by the Company consisting of Bally Technologies Inc. (formerly Alliance Gaming Corporation, a diversified worldwide gaming company), International Game Technology (gaming equipment manufacturer and supplier of on-line lottery goods and services), Scientific Games Holdings Corporation (supplier of paper lottery tickets and on-line lottery goods and services), and WMS Industries Inc. (gaming equipment manufacturer). The Company elected to use a peer group index rather than a published industry or line of business index because the Company is not aware of any such published index of companies which is comparable to the Company in terms of its businesses. For the purposes of the peer group index, all companies have been weighted based upon their relative market capitalizations.

Item 12. | Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management and Related Stockholder Matters |

Audit fees for fiscal 2006 decreased from fiscal 2005 fees primarily due to efficiencies associated with the second year audit of internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and a decrease in fees for services relating to capital raising efforts and acquisitions when compared to fiscal 2005.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures
The Company’s Audit Committee has a policy and procedures that require the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all: (i) services performed by the Company’s independent auditors, and (ii) Audit Services performed for the Company by any other independent accountants. In April of each year, the Audit Committee approves the services proposed to be performed during the year by the Company’s independent auditor, including the nature, type and scope of services contemplated and related fee levels. In addition, Audit Committee pre-approval is required for those engagements that may arise during the course of the year that are outside the scope of the initial services and fee levels pre-approved by the Audit Committee in April. As permitted by applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee has delegated its pre-approval authority with respect to engagements arising during the course of the year to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.
