Monday January 28,2013 : IGT BOARD FIGHT GETS UGLIER Stockholders urged to vote for Ader nominees The ongoing proxy fight over the future composition of the International Game Technology board of directors moved into higher gear with a communication from The Ader Group addressed to IGT Shareholders which was titled "Change is overdue. Demand an end to under-performance now – Vote Gold for better representation on IGT's Board of Directors!" The communication, also distributed in the form of a press release, lays out The Ader Group's concerns and recommendations over the future direction of the company and urges shareholders to sign and return an enclosed GOLD proxy card.
