Raport Bieżący Nr 23/2017: Zawarcie Umowy Pomiędzy Akcjonariuszami

The management board of PlayWay S.A. announced the formalization of a shareholder agreement concerning its subsidiary, Ultimate Games S.A., on May 8, 2017. This agreement facilitates a strategic expansion of the shareholder structure by integrating three new individual investors alongside the existing stakeholders, which include PlayWay S.A., Jakub Trzebiński, and Mateusz Zawadzki. The primary objective of this transaction is to strengthen the operational and creative capacity of Ultimate Games as it pursues specialized development within the fishing, hunting, and hobbyist gaming niches.

The agreement dictates a capital increase for Ultimate Games, raising the share capital from 100,000 PLN to 150,000 PLN through the issuance of new shares. Following this adjustment, PlayWay S.A. maintains a dominant majority stake of 64%, while Mateusz Zawadzki holds 19% and Jakub Trzebiński retains 5%. The three new shareholders—Maciej Latocha, Łukasz Stąporek, and Aleksy Uchański—each acquired a 4% stake in the company. This issuance serves a dual purpose as both an incentive mechanism and a strategic recruitment tool for key talent.

Beyond the financial restructuring, the agreement outlines specific production responsibilities for the incoming shareholders. Specifically, Maciej Latocha and Łukasz Stąporek are tasked with leading the development of two new titles under the working names Ultimate Summer Boat and Ultimate Keelboat Simulator. This move aligns with the company’s broader strategy to solidify its market position in the simulation and hobby genre. The disclosure was made in compliance with market abuse regulations regarding confidential information, marking a significant step in the corporate evolution of the Warsaw-based developer.
