The Board also accepted the resignation of Maureen T. Mullarkey from her position as Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer. As previously announced, she will retire from her current position but will continue to work for IGT in a transitional, non-executive capacity through the remainder of her employment agreement which expires January 22, 2008.
In response to Mullarkey’s resignation, Siciliano was appointed interim Principal Financial Officer, and Pat Cavanaugh has been promoted to Vice President of Investor Relations. In their new roles, Siciliano will direct IGT’s corporate finance, accounting, treasury and tax functions, and Cavanaugh will take over as main contact with the investment community.
