Current Report No. 15/2021: Investment Agreement and Share Acquisition

PCF Group S.A. completed a strategic acquisition of Game On Creative, Inc., a Montreal‑based animation and audio studio that supplies high‑end cinematics for major gaming titles, including the recent Outriders release. The transaction, finalized on 27 April 2021, involved a trust and its beneficiary Samuel Girardin. PCF paid PLN 29 369 385,59 for 100 % of Game On’s equity, with a potential earn‑out of 5 % of EBITDA for the fiscal years 2021‑2025 if predefined thresholds are surpassed.

To secure the purchase price, PCF agreed to issue 387 714 Series D ordinary bearer shares—approximately 1.29 % of its capital—at PLN 75,75 each in a private placement exclusively offered to the seller. The Series D shares are subject to a lock‑up covering 85 % of the issue, with staggered release dates through April 2023 and December 2024. A conditional call option from Sebastian Wojciechowski allows the seller to reacquire shares at the issue price if the capital increase is not registered on time, with a 30 % pre‑payment provision before lock‑up expiry.

The agreement includes standard representations, warranties, and a pledge covering roughly 30 % of the Series D shares to secure potential claims. Non‑competition clauses bind both seller and beneficiary, while Samuel Girardin will assume leadership roles within People Can Fly Canada, Inc., reinforcing PCF’s AAA development capabilities. The deal aligns with PCF’s strategy to enhance animation and audio production for simultaneous multi‑project development.
