(1)	Represents 103,547,021 shares of Class B common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), of SciPlay Corporation (“SciPlay Corp”) beneficially owned by Scientific Games Corporation, and an equal number of common units in SciPlay Parent Company, LLC (“SciPlay Parent LLC”) beneficially owned by Scientific Games Corporation (the “LLC Interests”).

	Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of SciPlay Parent LLC dated as of May 2, 2019 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “SciPlay Operating Agreement”), SG Social Holding Company, LLC and SG Social Holding Company I, LLC, each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation (together, the “Original Members”), may require SciPlay Parent LLC to redeem the LLC Interests for shares of Class A common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), of SciPlay Corp on a one-for-one basis or, at SciPlay Corp’s option, for a cash payment determined by reference to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average market prices of one share of the Class A common stock over a specified period prior to the date of redemption for each LLC Interest redeemed. In lieu of such a redemption, SciPlay Corp has the right, at its option, to effect a direct exchange of shares of its Class A common stock and/or cash for the LLC Interests. Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled for no other consideration on a one-for-one basis whenever the Original Members’s LLC Interests are so redeemed or exchanged. The foregoing redemption and/or exchange rights and obligations are referred to herein as the “Redemption / Exchange”.

	On all matters submitted to a vote of SciPlay Corp stockholders (the “SciPlay Stockholders”), each share of Class B common stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes per share (for so long as the number of shares of SciPlay Corp’s common stock beneficially owned by the Original Members and their affiliates represents at least 10% of SciPlay Corp’s outstanding shares of common stock and, thereafter, one vote per share), and each share of Class A common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share. The Original Members own all outstanding shares of SciPlay Corp’s Class B common stock, which represents 97.7% of the combined voting power of both classes of SciPlay Corp’s outstanding common stock.

(2)	The calculation assumes that there is a total of 127,930,782 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, which is the sum of (i) the 24,383,761 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of May 5, 2021, as reported on the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 10, 2021, and (ii) the 103,547,021 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the Redemption / Exchange of the LLC Interests beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (as defined below).
