[Form 4] IZEA Worldwide, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Everi Holdings Inc. (EVRI) filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to twelve prior Form S-8 registration statements covering an aggregate of approximately 48.6 million shares of common stock reserved for various equity compensation plans dating back to 2006. The amendment formally deregisters all unsold shares under those statements.

The action follows the 1 July 2025 closing of a multi-party transaction in which funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management (through Voyager Parent, LLC) simultaneously acquired Everi and International Game Technology PLC’s Gaming & Digital business:

• IGT transferred its Gaming & Digital assets to Ignite Rotate LLC ("Spinco") and related liabilities (the “Separation”).
• Buyer purchased all Spinco units and IGT Canada Solutions ULC shares.
• Voyager Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Everi, making Everi a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (the “Merger”).

Because Everi’s common stock will be delisted and deregistered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the company is terminating all outstanding securities offerings. Upon effectiveness of this filing, no shares remain registered for sale under the referenced S-8 statements.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Deregistration and delisting mean Everi's common stock no longer trades publicly, eliminating liquidity for former public shareholders.

Insights

M&A Specialist

TL;DR: Filing is a routine step to clean up equity plans after Apollo’s take-private of Everi; market impact already priced in.

The amendment contains no new economic terms—it simply extinguishes unsold shares tied to legacy equity incentive plans now that Everi is a private subsidiary. All corporate actions (Separation, Equity Sale, Merger) closed concurrently on 1 July 2025, so public investors have already received consideration negotiated in 2024. Deregistration avoids ongoing reporting obligations and potential securities law exposure. For holders of former EVRI stock, there is no incremental value change; for private-market stakeholders, the clean cap-table eases future incentive redesign. Overall, administrative and not market-moving.

Securities Counsel

TL;DR: Procedural S-8 POS removes ~48.6 M unsold shares, finalizing Everi’s exit from SEC registration.

The company fulfills its Rule 415 undertaking to withdraw securities once an offering ends. With Everi no longer subject to Section 12(b), maintaining Form S-8s would be impermissible. The filing cites each registration number, share count, and underlying plan, providing transparency. Signatures from key officers and directors, plus a renewed power-of-attorney, satisfy Rule 462. There are no hidden liabilities or indemnities disclosed; thus, the amendment should become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 464. Compliance-oriented impact, neutral to valuation.
