[Form 4] Everi Holdings Inc Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Everi Holdings Inc. (EVRI) filed a Form 4 disclosing that director Secil Tabli Watson has disposed of her entire equity stake in connection with the company’s previously announced merger transaction.

• Date of disposition: 01-Jul-2025 (the merger’s effective time).
• Cash consideration: Each common share and each share underlying outstanding RSUs was converted into the right to receive $14.25 in cash, with no interest.
• Common stock: 1,000 shares disposed; post-transaction ownership: 0.
• Restricted stock units: Five separate RSU grants totaling 40,400 units (2,400 + 7,600 + 9,200 + 10,700 + 10,500) were cancelled for the same cash consideration.
• Result: Watson now reports no direct or indirect ownership; Everi became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Voyager Parent LLC at closing.

The filing confirms the consummation of the merger outlined in the July 26 2024 Agreement and Plan of Merger among Everi, IGT PLC, Spinco (an IGT subsidiary), and Voyager entities. All equity interests have been converted to cash, ending the reporter’s insider status under Section 16.

Positive

• Merger consummation confirmed, providing shareholders a definitive cash payout of $14.25 per share.
• Clean cancellation of 40,400 RSUs under original vesting schedules limits potential compensation disputes.

Negative

• Public shareholders lose upside participation as Everi is now a private subsidiary; no future equity growth opportunity in EVRI.
• Insider ownership reduced to zero, eliminating alignment between former directors and the new private entity.

Insights

M&A Specialist

TL;DR Disposition confirms merger closing; equity cashed out at $14.25, eliminating insider ownership and public float.

The Form 4 is procedural but significant: it evidences the closing mechanics of the IGT–Everi transaction. Shareholders, including insiders, received a fixed $14.25 per share in cash, implying no contingent consideration or holdbacks. The RSU language shows that unvested awards were treated on the same economic terms and will be paid on their original vesting schedules, indicating a standard ‘double-trigger’ structure that avoids windfalls yet preserves value. For investors still holding EVRI pre-close, this filing serves as official confirmation that they, too, should have received cash and that EVRI equity will no longer trade.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR Insider exits with zero shares; Section 16 obligations end, marking completion of take-private deal.

The director’s exit and zero remaining ownership align with standard governance practice post-acquisition; she is no longer subject to Section 16 reporting. No red flags such as retention of derivative positions or unusual side arrangements are present. The straightforward cancellation and cash-out suggest the board’s compensation plans were cleanly settled, lowering post-deal litigation risk. Impact on remaining public investors is moot because EVRI has ceased to be publicly traded.
