Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective April 28, 2022, Light & Wonder, Inc., formerly known as Scientific Games Corporation (the "Company"), completed its legal entity name change from Scientific Games Corporation to Light & Wonder, Inc. The name change was made in accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") by merging a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation in the merger (the "Merger"). The Company effectuated the Merger by filing Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Articles of Merger, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Charter") to change the Company's corporate name to Light & Wonder, Inc. With the exception of the name change, there were no other changes to the Company's Charter. A copy of the Articles of Merger as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Second Amended and Restated Bylaws"), effective April 28, 2022, to (a) reflect the name change of the Company, (b) conform the provisions relating to quorum and exclusive forum to reflect changes to applicable law since the date such bylaws were adopted, and (c) make certain other amendments reflecting clarifying, non-substantive, administrative or procedural changes to modernize and update the bylaws including to the provisions relating to indemnification and exculpation of directors and officers and deemed notice and consent. The foregoing description of the bylaws amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Following the name change, all shares of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), shall be uncertificated and shall be evidenced by a book-entry system maintained by the registrar of such Common Stock, provided that the issuance of uncertificated shares has no effect on existing certificates for shares until surrendered and the Company may issue certificated shares for some or all of any or all classes or series of its Common Stock to any stockholder who so requests. The Company shall send a written statement to each stockholder of record certifying the number of shares of Common Stock in the Company owned by such stockholder and shall annually send a written statement to stockholders of record confirming the information in the written statement previously sent, to the extent required by law.

As of the opening of trading on April 29, 2022, the ticker symbol of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market will be "LNW". The CUSIP number of the Company's common stock will remain 80874P109. The Company's name and ticker symbol changes do not affect the rights of the Company's security holders, creditors, customers or suppliers.
