PlayAGS, Inc. (NYSE: AGS) (“AGS”, “us”, “we”, or the “Company”), a leading designer and supplier of electronic gaming machines, table products, and interactive solutions for the gaming industry, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire all issued and outstanding common shares of Integrity Gaming Corp.

We look forward to working in partnership with the Integrity team to provide Integrity’s customers with an exceptional service and support experience and a continued focus on driving optimal game performance.”

Integrity Interim Chief Executive Officer Robert Miodunski said, “We strongly believe this is a good transaction for our company and that our customers will benefit from AGS’ deep roots in Oklahomaand its proven ability to successfully manage a large footprint of leased games to drive strong performance for gaming operators.

I am proud of the Integrity team and the success we have achieved over our more than 20 years.”
