fine.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
Each of Oak and Olivetti International funded its purchase of Preferred
Stock as described in Item 5 from working capital. Cirmatica, which was formed
for the purpose of holding shares of Preferred Stock as described in Item 5,
received a $50,000,000 capital contribution from Lottomatica and borrowed
$50,000,000 from Olivetti pursuant to an oral agreement whereby Cirmatica is
obligated to pay the principal amount of the loan plus interest at a rate equal
to the applicable EURIBOR rate plus 2% at the end of one year from the date the
loan was made. Lottomatica and Olivetti provided such funds from working
capital.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
Simultaneously with the completion of the Issuer's acquisition of
Scientific Games Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, on September 6, 2000,
the Issuer sold an aggregate of 1,127,500 shares of Preferred Stock to
Cirmatica, Oak, Peconic Fund Ltd. ("Peconic"), Ramius Securities and Olivetti
International (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers" and together with all
current holders of Preferred Stock, the "Purchasers") (of which Ramius
Securities received 27,500
22
in respect of the payment of a placement agent fee). See Item 5 for details
regarding the number of shares of Preferred Stock acquired by each Initial
Purchaser. The Issuer used most of the proceeds received in the sale of the
Preferred Stock to repurchase certain of its existing subordinated debt.
The Purchasers acquired the Preferred Stock as an investment and to obtain
a voice in the management of the Issuer through minority representation on the
Issuer's Board of Directors.
Immediately after the Purchasers acquired the Preferred Stock and in
accordance with the rights granted to the Purchasers in the Certificates of
Designations and the Stockholders Agreement as more fully described in Item 6,
the size of the Issuer's Board of Directors was increased to 10 directors and
four representatives of the Purchasers -- Peter A. Cohen, Luciano La Noce,
Roberto Sgambati and Michael S. Immordino -- were appointed as directors. The
Purchasers have, collectively, been granted the right to elect or, upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock, designate for election, up
to four members to the Issuer's Board of Directors. See Item 6 for a description
of the Purchasers' rights to elect or designate, as the case may be, members to
the Board of Directors of the Issuer depending on the percentage of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchasers.
The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified
in their entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences
and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations"), the Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2000, by and among the
Purchasers and the Issuer (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Stockholders'
Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2000, by and among the Purchasers and the
Issuer (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), and the Voting Agreement, dated as of
September 6, 2000, as amended, (the "Voting Agreement"), by and among the
Purchasers (other than Ramius Securities), a copy of each of which has been
filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by
reference.
None of the Reporting Persons currently has (i) any plans to dispose of
shares of Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock into which the shares of
Preferred Stock are convertible, (ii) any intention of acquiring additional
shares of Preferred Stock (other than through in-kind dividends) or Common Stock
(other than through the conversion of Preferred Stock or the exercise of
pre-emptive or other rights under the agreements described in Item 6), or (iii)
any plans or proposals, which relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition
by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of
securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, (c) a sale
or transfer of a
23
material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any
change in the present management of the Issuer, (e) any material change in the
present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material
change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (g) any other material
change in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or
other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any
person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer
becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (j) any action similar to any of
those enumerated in (a) through (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
of the Reporting Persons retains its right to (a) vote the Preferred Stock and
elect or designate directors to the Issuer's Board of Directors as described in
Item 6 (subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement), (b) change its investment
intent, (c) propose one or more possible transactions to the Issuer's Board of
Directors, and (d) acquire additional shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock
from time to time or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the
Preferred Stock (or any shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is
converted) beneficially owned by it in any manner permitted by law and the
agreements described in Item 6. In reaching any decision as to its course of
action, each Reporting Person currently expects that it would take into
consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the
following: the Issuer's business and prospects; other developments concerning
the Issuer and its business generally; other business opportunities available to
such Reporting Person; developments with respect to the business of such
Reporting Person; changes in law and government regulations; general economic
conditions; and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of
the securities of the Issuer.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) and (b) As of May 11, 2001, there were then issued and outstanding
40,195,814 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, as disclosed by the Issuer in
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2001.
On September 6, 2000, the Purchasers (other than Ramius Securities)

purchased 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase
24
price of $100,000,000, Oak purchased 40,000 shares of Preferred Stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 and Peconic purchased 40,000 shares of
Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. Also on September

aggregate value of $2,750,000 as partial payment of a placement agent fee
payable by the Issuer equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received by the Issuer
in respect of the sale of Preferred Stock to the Purchasers pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Agreement.
Also on September 6, 2000, the Purchasers (other than Ramius Securities and
PEI) entered into the Voting Agreement. The shares of Preferred Stock referred
to above and recorded as owned by Olivetti International, Cirmatica and Oak,
together with any shares of Common Stock issued on the conversion of any such
shares of Preferred Stock (the "Voting Agreement Stock"), are subject to the
Voting Agreement as more fully described in Item 6 below and herein incorporated
by reference. By virtue of the voting arrangements set forth in the Voting
Agreement, the parties agreed to vote the Voting Agreement Stock as directed by
Cirmatica with respect to designating, and voting for, the persons who shall be
elected to the Issuer's Board of Directors pursuant to the Certificate of
Designations and the Stockholders' Agreement. Under the Voting Agreement,
Olivetti International also agreed to vote all the shares of Preferred Stock
owned by it (including all shares of Common Stock issued on the conversion of
such Preferred Stock) as directed by Cirmatica on all voting matters relating to
the Issuer in which Olivetti International has the right to vote. On September
6, 2000, Peconic and PEI entered in to an agreement whereby PEI agreed to
purchase some or all of the Preferred Stock held by Peconic in one or more
closings prior to September 6, 2001.
Since September 6, 2001, the Issuer has, in accordance with the Certificate
of Designations as more fully described in Section 6 below and herein
incorporated by reference, issued a number of stock-in-kind dividends to the
Purchasers and PEI.
On February 9, 2001, Peconic transferred 20,382 shares of Preferred Stock
to PEI for a total consideration of $2,205,520. As part of this transaction, PEI
became a party to the Voting Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the
Stockholders' Agreement.
On March 8, 2001, Peconic transferred its remaining 20,382 shares of
Preferred Stock to Olivetti International for a total consideration of
$2,060,701.97. As a result of this transaction, Peconic is no longer the holder
of any Voting Agreement Stock and, therefore, is no longer subject to any of the
voting arrangements set forth in the Voting Agreement.
25
The following table sets out the ownership of Preferred Stock as of the
date of this filing as a result of the original purchase of Preferred Stock, the
subsequent issues of stock-in-kind dividends and the three transfers of
Preferred Stock described above.

As a result of these voting arrangements and the transactions described
above, Cirmatica, and Lottomatica, as the sole shareholder of Cirmatica, may be
deemed to beneficially own the Voting Agreement Stock which represents 33.8% of

In addition to its beneficial ownership of the Voting Agreement Stock as
described above, Cirmatica is the record owner of 1,049,674 shares of Preferred

of the Issuer (the "Cirmatica Common Stock"). In addition, because Olivetti
directly owns approximately 14.04% and indirectly owns (through its ownership of
approximately 54.94% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A

dated July 30, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement") and a shareholders agreement
dated August 7, 2001 (the "Olivetti Shareholders Agreement") entered into by

corporate governance rights with respect to Olivetti, Telecom Italia and certain
other entities. The acquisition of the Olivetti Shares is subject to European
Union regulatory approval.
Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement and the Olivetti Shareholders Agreement, future decisions regarding
the interests of Cirmatica and Olivetti International in the Issuer may be taken
in consultation with the corporate entity owned by Pirelli and Edizione.
The information contained in this Schedule 13D relating to the Edizione

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement the Issuer made certain customary
representations and warranties relating to, among other things, the Preferred
Stock and the condition of the Issuer's business. The Stock Purchase Agreement
provides that the Issuer shall indemnify each of the Purchasers and their
respective affiliates, directors, shareholders, officers, employees and agents
from and against all damages (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising
29
out of a breach of (i) any representation or warranty relating to the due
organization, authority and capitalization of the Issuer, the existence of
certain exemptions applicable to Olivetti, Cirmatica, Lottomatica and their
respective affiliates under the change of control provisions contained in the
Issuer's employee severance agreements, and the accuracy of information provided
to the Purchasers, or (ii) covenants made by the Issuer in the Stock Purchase
Agreement and the other transaction documents.
The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement is not, and does
not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2 and
incorporated herein by reference.
Certificate of Designations
Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible (at the option of the holder
thereof) at any time into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock calculated by dividing the Liquidation Preference (as defined
below) by $6.00 (the "Conversion Price"), such Conversion Price to be adjusted
in certain circumstances as provided for in the Certificate of Designations. In
accordance with such Certificate of Designations, the holders of Preferred Stock
were notified that the Conversion Price had been adjusted to $5.56.
The Preferred Stock, with respect to payment of dividends, redemption
payments and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up the affairs of
the Issuer, ranks senior and prior to the Common Stock and any other class or
series of capital stock of the Company which by its terms ranks junior to the
Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer, the holders of the Preferred Stock will
be entitled to receive $100.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference") plus all
accrued and unpaid dividends prior to the payment date.
The holders of Preferred Stock will receive cumulative dividends at the
annual rate of 6% of the sum of (x) the Liquidation Preference and (y) all
unpaid dividends, if any, whether or not declared, from the date of issuance of
Preferred Stock to the applicable dividend payment date. Dividends will be
payable in additional shares of Preferred Stock or, at the Issuer's option
beginning on September 30, 2002, in cash and/or additional shares of Preferred
Stock. In the event the Issuer pays cash dividends on any of its capital stock,
the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive any such cash
dividends as if the holders converted all of their Preferred Stock into Common
Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations.
30
From and after September 1, 2003, the Issuer at its option, may redeem all
but not less than all of the shares of Preferred Stock, at the redemption price
of 105% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus an amount equal to the
unpaid dividends thereon, if the Current Market Price (as defined in the
Certificate of Designations) of the Common Stock exceeds $10.00 per share and
the Issuer has filed a registration statement covering the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Preferred Stock which has been effective for at least 180
days.
Holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a
single class with the holders of shares of Common Stock on all matters as to
which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote. In such instances,
each share of Preferred Stock will vote on an "as converted" basis, using the
Conversion Price then in effect.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, holders of shares of Preferred
Stock voting together as a single class are entitled to elect: 4 of the Issuer's
directors so long as the Purchasers collectively own 25% or more of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (counting the Preferred Stock on an as
converted basis); 3 of the Issuer's directors so long as the Purchasers
collectively own 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (counting
the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); 2 of the Issuer's directors so
long as the Purchaser collectively own 10% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); and 1 of the
Issuers directors so long as the Purchasers collectively own 5% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted
basis). In addition, if the Issuer fails to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock
in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or fails to provide for the
election of directors as specified in the Certificate of Designations, the
number of directors of the Issuer's Board of Directors will be increased by 3
and the Purchasers will be entitled to elect such additional directors to serve
on the Issuer's Board of Directors. When the failure to pay such dividends on
the Preferred Stock or to provide for such election of directors is cured, then
the rights of the Purchasers to elect such additional directors will cease, and
the term of office of any person elected as an additional director will
terminate and the number of the Issuer's Board of Directors will be reduced
accordingly.
The Certificate of Designations also provides that the Issuer shall need
the consent of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock that own more than 50%
of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to effect any of the
following: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the
Certificate of Designations; (ii) any amendment, alteration or repeal to any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer that could adversely
affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Preferred Stock; (iii) any
authorization, issuance or creation of any class
31
or series of capital stock of the Issuer; (iv) any increase in size of the Board
of Directors of Issuer (except in accordance with the Certificate of
Designations or the Stockholders' Agreement); (v) any change in State of
incorporation of the Issuer; (vi) any delisting of the Issuer's Common Stock
from the American Stock Exchange or listing of Common Stock on a different
exchange or national quotation system; and (vii) any decision, commitment or
other arrangement to effect any of the foregoing.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirely by reference to the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which
is filed as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Stockholders' Agreement
The Stockholders' Agreement provides, among other things, that the
Purchasers shall have the right under certain circumstances in connection with
new issuances of securities by the Issuer to purchase a number of such

of the Issuer will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) September 6,
2004, (b) the date on which all of the Preferred Stock is redeemed by the Issuer
in accordance with the Certificate of Designations and (c) the date on which the
Preferred Stock is automatically converted into shares of Common Stock in
accordance with the Certificate of Designations. Each of the Purchasers shall
have a right of over-allotment whereby if any Purchaser fails to purchase
securities of the Issuer to which it is entitled, each other Purchaser shall
have the right to purchase some of the non-purchasing Purchaser's portion of
such securities on a pro rata basis.
The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that Olivetti International
and Cirmatica and their permitted assigns shall be subject to certain standstill
provisions that generally prohibit them from acquiring until September 6, 2004

securities convertible into Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis.
Under the Stockholders' Agreement, Olivetti International, Cirmatica and their
permitted assigns will also be prohibited from soliciting proxies with respect
to the Issuer until September 6, 2003.
In addition, the Stockholders' Agreement provides that, subject to the
provisions of the Certificate of Designations, the Board of Directors of the
Issuer shall consist of ten directors and that the Purchasers shall have the
32
right to designate and have appointed: (A) 4 directors minus the number of
directors that the Purchasers are entitled to elect as a single class pursuant
to the Certificate of Designations, provided that the Purchasers beneficially
own in aggregate at least 25% of the outstanding shares Common Stock of the
Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted
basis); (B) 3 directors minus the number of directors that the Purchasers are
entitled to elect as a single class pursuant to the Certificate of Designations,
provided that the Purchasers beneficially own in aggregate at least 20% of the

beneficially own in aggregate at least 10% of the outstanding shares Common
Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an
as converted basis); and (D) 1 director minus the number of directors that the
Purchasers are entitled to elect as a single class pursuant to the Certificate
of Designations, provided that the Purchasers beneficially own in aggregate at
least 5% of the outstanding shares Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted
basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis). If the Issuer
fails to comply with these provisions, then for as long as the failure
continues, the number of directors on the Board shall be increased by 3 and the
Purchasers shall have the right to designate and have elected 3 additional
directors to the Board regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock held by them. Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement,
immediately after the closing of the purchase of the Preferred Stock, Messrs.
Luciano La Noce, Peter Cohen, Roberto Sgambati and Michael Immordino, the
representatives of the Purchasers, were appointed as directors of the Issuer.
The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that as long as the Purchasers
beneficially own in aggregate at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an
as converted basis), the consent of the Purchasers holding at least 50% of the
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock
shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting and validating (i) any amendment,
alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations; (ii)
any amendment, alteration or repeal to any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Issuer that could adversely affect the preferences, rights
or powers of the Preferred Stock; (iii) any authorization, issuance or creation
of any class or series of capital stock of the Issuer; (iv) any increase in size
of the Board of Directors of Issuer (except in accordance with the Certificate
of Designations or the Stockholders' Agreement); (v) any change in the State of
incorporation of Issuer; (vi) any delisting
33
of Issuer's Common Stock from the American Stock Exchange or listing of Common
Stock on a different exchange or national quotation system; and (vii) any
decision, commitment or other arrangement to effect any of the foregoing.
Under the Stockholders' Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to effect "demand"
registrations at any time upon the request of any of the Purchasers or any other
person holding Registrable Securities (as defined in the Stockholders'
Agreement), including registrations made on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for an offering on a delayed or
continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. There is no
limit on the number of "demand" registrations or Form S-3 registrations that may
be requested. The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that, subject to
certain limitations, the Purchasers may include their Registrable Securities in
any registration of stock by the Issuer under the Securities Act.
Under the Stockholders' Agreement, the Issuer is required to pay all
registration expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) with
respect to all registrations made for the benefit of the holders of Registrable
Securities. The Issuer is also required to pay liquidated damages in an amount
equal to 2% of the Issue Amount Per Share (as defined in the Stockholders'
Agreement) in cash or, in the event the Issuer is not able to pay cash, in
Preferred Stock each month following the 150-day period in which a registration
statement has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission after the holders of Registrable Securities have requested
registration.
