Australia.- July 16, 2026 | www.zonadeazar.com  Light & Wonder announced that it repurchased US$134 million of its own shares during the second quarter of 2026, bringing its US$1.5 billion share repurchase programme close to completion, with approximately US$180 million remaining as of 1 July 2026.

The programme was originally launched in June 2024 with a US$1 billion limit through June 2027 and was later expanded to US$1.5 billion. Last year, the initiative was transferred from the NASDAQ to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) following the company’s transition to an exclusive Australian listing.

During the quarter, Light & Wonder repurchased 1,612,580 Chess Depositary Interests (CDIs) as part of its capital allocation strategy aimed at creating shareholder value and optimising its financial structure.

The company will release its second-quarter 2026 financial results on 4 August, when it will also host an investor conference call to discuss its quarterly performance and outlook for the remainder of the year.
