Emmett Investment Management, owning 1.5% of PlayAGS (NYSE: AGS) stock, opposes the take-private transaction with Brightstar Capital Partners, deeming it undervalued. They cite AGS's Q1 results showcasing a 21% growth in adjusted EBITDA, improved business segments, and potential future benefits from the IGT/Everi merger. Emmett highlights that the $12.50 per share bid undervalues the company, arguing AGS could achieve a $24.70 share price as a standalone entity. They advocate AGS shareholders vote against the proposal.
