Item 2.

Light & Wonder, Inc.

Light and Wonder International, Inc.

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G is being filed on behalf of the following (each, a “Reporting Person” and, together, the “Reporting Persons”): Light & Wonder, Inc. (“Parent”), a Nevada corporation, and Light and Wonder International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LWII”). Parent is the sole stockholder of LWII.

On October 23, 2023, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among SciPlay Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Parent and Bern Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 23, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada: (i) each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (a) each share of Company Common Stock (as defined below) held by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) each share of Company Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Company Class A Common Stock, the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (c) each share of Company Class A Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) was converted automatically into the right to receive $22.95 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”); (ii) each share of Company Class A Common Stock and Company Class B Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and retired and ceased to exist, and no consideration or payment has been or shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof; (iii) each share of Company Class A Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time not held on behalf of third parties was automatically canceled and ceased to exist, no former holder thereof is entitled to receive any Merger Consideration therefor, and no other consideration or payment has been or shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof; and (iv) each holder of a Common Unit (as defined in the Merger Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became entitled, upon the election of such holder exercisable not later than 10 business days after the Effective Time, to exchange each such Common Unit for the Merger Consideration that is payable with respect to one share of Company Class A Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, each share of Company Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time remained in existence following the Effective Time as a share of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the surviving corporation in the Merger.

On October 23, 2023, the shares of Company Class A Common Stock were permanently suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) and Nasdaq filed a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist the shares of Class A Common Stock and terminate the registration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, shares of Company Class A Common Stock are no longer listed on Nasdaq.

On November 2, 2023, the Company filed a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of all shares of Company Class A Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to all shares of Company Class A Common Stock. As a result, shares of Company Class A Common Stock are no longer registered under the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons thus no longer beneficially own any equity securities of the Company registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

In connection with an internal reorganization, on November 30, 2023, LNW Social Holding Company I, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and LNW Social Holding Company II, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, merged with and into LWII, with LWII as the surviving entity.  As a result, LNW Social Holding Company I, LLC and LNW Social Holding Company II, LLC were eliminated and are no longer Reporting Persons.
