PCF Group S.A. has entered into a strategic financial arrangement through its subsidiary, People Can Fly Canada Inc., by signing a letter of intent with the Bank of Montreal. This agreement, finalized on May 1, 2023, outlines the terms for two distinct demand revolving credit facilities intended to support the studio's North American operations. The primary objective of this financing is to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes and to bridge the gap for anticipated Canadian tax credits, which are a common component of game development financing in the region. The proposed credit facilities total 9.2 million Canadian dollars. Specifically, 1.2 million CAD is earmarked for working capital and general corporate needs, while the remaining 8 million CAD is dedicated to financing tax incentives. As part of the arrangement, the Warsaw-based parent company, PCF Group S.A., will act as a guarantor for the full amount of the debt. The subsidiary is also expected to provide customary security interests typical for this type of corporate lending transaction. This financial move reflects the group's efforts to optimize its capital structure and leverage regional fiscal benefits within the Canadian gaming industry. While the letter of intent establishes a framework for the loans, the finalization of the credit documentation is scheduled for approximately May 30, 2023. The management notes that the commencement of negotiations does not guarantee the final execution of the agreements, though it signals a clear intent to secure specialized funding for its Montreal-based operations.

PCF Group S.A., the Warsaw-based parent company of game developer People Can Fly, has formally entered negotiations with Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. to secure a significant credit facility. This strategic financial move follows the receipt of financing terms approved by the bank's credit committee on May 30, 2023. The proposed agreement outlines a revolving credit facility and an overdraft line totaling a maximum of 50 million PLN. The primary objective of this capital injection is to fund production costs associated with the company’s work-for-hire game development projects. The proposed terms specify a three-year availability period for the credit line, with the final repayment deadline set for three years after the execution of the agreement. To secure the facility, the company expects to establish standard collateral customary for transactions of this nature within the financial sector. While the commencement of negotiations marks a definitive step toward strengthening the company's liquidity and production capacity, the finalization of the credit agreement remains subject to successful legal and financial discussions. The management board emphasizes that the receipt of these terms does not guarantee the ultimate execution of the binding documentation. This development reflects the company's ongoing efforts to stabilize its financial framework for long-term project delivery within the competitive global gaming market.

PCF Group Current Report No. 52/2023: Credit Facility Agreements Signed
PCF Group S.A., the parent company of game developer People Can Fly, finalized two significant credit agreements with Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. on October 12, 2023. These agreements provide the company with a revolving credit facility of up to 30 million PLN and a second revolving credit facility of up to approximately 4.43 million EUR. The primary purpose of this financing is to fund costs associated with work-for-hire game production, a key segment of the company’s business model. Both credit lines carry a three-year term for utilization and repayment from the date of signing. The financial terms include interest rates based on a variable WIBOR rate plus a fixed margin, with commissions set at standard market rates. To secure these loans, PCF Group has established a comprehensive security package. This includes financial and registered pledges on all shares held by the company in Incuvo S.A., as well as pledges on the company’s bank accounts. Furthermore, the debt is backed by guarantees from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego covering up to 80% of the credit amounts, which are themselves secured by blank promissory notes. The agreements impose standard restrictive covenants on PCF Group, such as limitations on changing the core business scope and restrictions on incurring additional financial indebtedness. The bank retains the right to terminate the agreements or halt funding in the event of a breach of contract. This strategic financing move, which followed negotiations initiated in May 2023, provides the Warsaw-based developer with the liquidity necessary to execute its external development projects while maintaining its operational stability within the competitive global gaming industry.

Current Report No. 27/2024: Increase in the Amount of Unsecured Guarantee for Bank of Montreal
The filing announces a formal amendment to the financing arrangement between People Can Fly Canada Inc., a subsidiary of PCF Group S.A., and the Bank of Montreal, aimed at expanding the unsecured guarantee supporting the bank’s credit exposure. Effective 15 November 2024, the guarantee amount is raised from CAD 9.2 million to CAD 13.154 million, reflecting the anticipated increase in the demand revolving facility from CAD 8.0 million to CAD 11.954 million. This credit line is intended to pre‑finance forthcoming Canadian tax incentives, and the larger guarantee aligns the security package with the expanded loan exposure. Concurrently, the first‑ranking hypothec on PCF Canada’s entire movable asset base will be increased from CAD 11.04 million to CAD 15.7848 million, ensuring that the bank’s priority claim remains proportionate to the heightened indebtedness. All other contractual terms of the original financing agreement, dated 24 May 2023, remain unchanged. The amendment is grounded in Article 17(1) of the MAR Regulation and follows the earlier disclosure made on 24 May 2023 concerning the original credit facility. The scope of the transaction is limited to the corporate group’s Polish parent company, its Canadian subsidiary, and the Canadian banking institution, covering a single fiscal period in 2024. No statistical sampling or broader market analysis is involved; the communication serves solely to inform stakeholders of the revised guarantee and collateral levels accompanying the enlarged revolving credit facility.
