Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks PlayAGS, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 6, 2025: 49 risks under these headings, as written.3

  • Risks Related to the Proposed Merger
  • The announcement and pendency of our agreement to be acquired by Brightstar Capital Partners may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and our stock price, and may result in the loss of employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners.
  • While the Merger is pending, we are subject to contractual restrictions that could harm our business, operating results and our stock price.
  • The failure to complete the Merger may adversely affect our business and our stock price.
  • The Merger Agreement with Brightstar Capital Partners limits our ability to pursue alternative transactions which could deter a third party from proposing an alternative transaction.
  • Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
  • We operate in highly competitive industries and our success depends on our ability to effectively compete with numerous domestic and foreign businesses.
  • Our success is dependent upon our ability to adapt to and offer products that keep pace with evolving technology related to our businesses.
  • Our success depends in part on our ability to develop, enhance and/or introduce successful gaming concepts and game content. Demand for our products and the level of play of our products could be adversely affected by changes in player and operator preferences.
  • The intellectual property rights of others may prevent us from developing new products and services, entering new markets or may expose us to liability or costly litigation and such litigation could have a material adverse effect on the results of our business or intellectual property.
  • Our business depends on the protection of our intellectual property and proprietary information and on our ability to license intellectual property from third parties.
  • Our business is vulnerable to changing economic conditions and to other factors that adversely affect the casino industry, which have negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact the play levels of our participation games, our product sales and our ability to collect outstanding receivables from our customers.
The other 39 risks
  • The global COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse impact and in the future, similar events could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as on the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in the gaming industry that we serve. We are unable to predict the extent to which pandemics and related impacts will adversely impact our business operations, ability to procure materials, financial performance, results of operations, financial position and the achievement of our business objectives.
  • We may not successfully enter new markets and potential new markets may not develop quickly or at all.
  • We may not be able to capitalize on the expansion of internet or other forms of interactive gaming or other trends and changes in the gaming industries, including due to laws and regulations governing these industries.
  • Our ability to operate in our existing markets or expand into new jurisdictions could be adversely affected by changing regulations, new interpretations of existing laws, and difficulties or delays in obtaining or maintaining required licenses or approvals.
  • Smoking bans in casinos may reduce player traffic and affect our revenues.
  • We derive a significant portion of our revenue from Native American tribal customers, and our ability to effectively operate in Native American gaming markets is vulnerable to legal and regulatory uncertainties, including the ability to enforce contractual rights on Native American land.
  • We may not realize satisfactory returns on money lent to new and existing customers to develop or expand gaming facilities or to acquire gaming routes.
  • We rely on information technology and other systems and any failures in our systems could disrupt our business and adversely impact our results.
  • Due to the ever-changing threat landscape, our operations and services may be subject to certain risks, including hacking or other unauthorized access to control or view systems.
  • Our business is dependent on the security and integrity of the systems and products we offer.
  • Slow growth in the development of new gaming jurisdictions or the number of new casinos, declines in the rate of replacement of existing EGMs and ownership changes and consolidation in the casino industry could limit or reduce our future prospects.
  • The results of our operations could be affected by natural events in the locations in which we or our customers, suppliers or regulators operate.
  • We are dependent on our suppliers and contract manufacturers and any failure of these parties to meet our performance and quality standards or requirements could cause us to incur additional costs or lose customers.
  • The risks related to operations in foreign countries and outside of traditional United States jurisdictions could negatively affect our results.
  • Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other risks could impact our business.
  • We could face risks associated with, or arising out of, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
  • We are impacted by increasing stakeholder interest in public company performance, disclosure, and goal-setting with respect to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters.
  • If our products contain defects, we may be liable for product defects or other claims, our reputation could be harmed and our results of operations adversely affected.
  • Our revenues are vulnerable to the impact of changes to the Class II regulatory scheme.
  • State compacts with our existing Native American tribal customers to allow Class III gaming could reduce demand for our Class II games and our entry into the Class III market may be difficult as we compete against larger companies in the tribal Class III market.
  • The participation share rates for gaming revenue we receive pursuant to our participation agreements with our Native American tribal customers may decrease in the future.
  • We generate a substantial amount of our total revenue in one state.
  • Certain contracts with our customers are on a month-to-month basis, and if we are unable to maintain our current customers on terms that are favorable to us, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may detrimentally suffer.
  • Some of our products contain open source software which may be subject to restrictive open source licenses, requiring us to make our source code available to third-parties and potentially granting third parties certain rights to our software.
  • We rely on hardware, software and games licensed from third parties, and on technology provided by third-party vendors, the loss of which could materially and adversely affect our business, increase our costs and delay deployment or suspend development of our EGMs, games and systems.
  • Continued operation and our ability to service several of our installed EGMs depends upon our relationships with service providers, and changes in those relationships could negatively impact our business.
  • We have a history of net losses and a significant accumulated deficit, and we may not maintain profitability in the future.
  • Our inability to complete future acquisitions and integrate those businesses successfully could limit our future growth.
  • Failure to attract, retain and motivate key employees may adversely affect our ability to compete.
  • Changes in tax regulation and results of tax audits could affect results of operations of our business.
  • If we are not able to maintain adequate internal control over our financial reporting, it could adversely affect our reputation and business.
  • Risks Related to Our Capital Structure
  • Our indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital or to fund our operations, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy, and prevent us from making debt service payments.
  • We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all our indebtedness, and we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness that may not be successful.
  • Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
  • Our stock price may fluctuate significantly.
  • We will continue to incur significant costs and devote substantial management time as a result of operating as a public company.
  • Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada is the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
  • We are a holding company and rely on dividends, distributions and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations.
  • You may be diluted by the future issuance of additional common stock or convertible securities in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise, which could adversely affect our stock price.
  • We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Legal proceedings

We are party to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe the outcome of such disputes or legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. See Item 15. “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” Note 12. "Commitments and Contingencies" for a detailed description of various claims and legal actions we are party to.
