BALA CYNWYD, Pa., July 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of International Game Technology ("IGT" or the "Company") (NYSE: IGT) relating to the proposed acquisition by Gtech.

Under the terms of the transaction, IGT shareholders will receive only 0.1819 of a share of the post-merger entity common stock and $13.69 in cash for each share of IGT stock they own. The transaction values IGT stock at only approximately $18.25 per share. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of IGT for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process. The transaction may undervalue IGT and will result in a loss for many long term holders of IGT stock. For example, IGT stock traded at $21.01 per share on September 20, 2013 and traded at $19.61 on November 6, 2013.
