On February 22, 2013, Joaquin J. Aviles, Multimedia Games Holding Company, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Vice President - Technology, entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan in accordance with guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy (a “Trading Plan”). Rule 10b5-1 permits insiders, at a time when the insiders are not in possession of material, non-public information about the Company, to enter into pre-arranged plans for buying or selling Company stock.
The Trading Plan provides for the sale of approximately 30% of his total present Company holdings, beginning March 11, 2013. Shares would be sold under his Trading Plan in the open market at a certain minimum price threshold, which may or may not be achieved. There is no assurance that any or all of the shares in the Trading Plan will, in fact, be sold. Mr. Aviles will have no control over the timing of the stock sales under his Trading Plan. The Trading Plan is scheduled to expire on the earlier of September 11, 2013, or if and when all of the shares under the Trading Plan are sold. Mr. Aviles has entered into his Trading Plan for personal portfolio diversification.
Any actual stock sales under the Trading Plan will be disclosed publicly in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, through appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
