PlayWay S.A. has formalized an amendment to a previous investment agreement regarding the ownership structure of ECC Games Sp. z o.o. This regulatory filing, dated April 28, 2017, details the inclusion of three new individual partners into the existing investment framework originally established in late 2016. The transaction involves the redistribution of equity through the sale of shares by a primary stakeholder to both the corporate entity and the newly joined individual partners. The execution of these share purchase agreements results in a significant realignment of the capital structure for the Warsaw-based developer ECC Games. Following the registration of these changes with the National Court Register, Inovo Venture Fund I remains the largest stakeholder with 36.9% of the shares. PlayWay S.A. maintains a substantial position with 34.6% ownership, while the remaining equity is distributed among four individual partners, with holdings ranging from 19.7% down to 0.6%. This corporate action reflects the ongoing consolidation and strategic partnership efforts within the Polish game development sector during the 2017 fiscal period. By integrating key individuals directly into the ownership structure of the subsidiary, the parent company and its venture partners aim to align incentives across the management and investment teams. The disclosure complies with European market abuse regulations regarding the release of confidential information that could impact the valuation of publicly traded entities on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
PlayWay S.A. has formalized a strategic investment agreement to establish and fund Movie Games S.A., a Warsaw-based developer focused on producing video games based on cinematic properties. This partnership involves three primary shareholders contributing a total of 1,718,182 PLN in capital. PlayWay holds a controlling 51% stake with a contribution of 927,273 PLN, while Income Capital Sp. z o.o. maintains a 44% share through a 700,000 PLN investment. The remaining 5% is held by Aleksy Uchański, who contributed 90,909 PLN and has been appointed as the President of the Management Board for the new entity. The primary objective of this capital injection is to finance the development of a PC title centered on the 303 Squadron, alongside the broader mission of adapting film productions into interactive media. This transaction, finalized in December 2016, represents a targeted expansion of PlayWay’s portfolio within the Polish gaming sector, specifically leveraging the expertise of specialized partners to bridge the gap between the film and gaming industries.

PlayWay S.A. has formalized a strategic agreement with the shareholders of Ultimate Games S.A. to significantly increase the subsidiary's share capital. This corporate action, executed on May 31, 2017, follows a preliminary agreement established earlier that month and marks a transition in the company’s financial structure as it evolves from its legal predecessor, Ultimate Games Sp. z o.o. The primary objective of this move is to strengthen the capital base of the Warsaw-based developer and publisher to support its ongoing operations and growth within the gaming sector. The Extraordinary General Meeting of Ultimate Games S.A. passed a resolution to raise the share capital from 150,000 PLN to 400,000 PLN. This increase is facilitated through the issuance of 2,500,000 new shares, which were subscribed to by six key shareholders in exchange for a total cash contribution of 250,000 PLN. This capital injection reflects a coordinated effort between institutional and individual investors to solidify the company's market position. Following the registration of this capital increase with the National Court Register, the ownership structure of Ultimate Games S.A. is clearly defined. PlayWay S.A. maintains a dominant controlling interest with 60% of the shares. The remaining equity is distributed among five individual shareholders: Mateusz Zawadzki holds 20%, Jakub Trzebiński and Aleksy Uchański each hold 7%, and Maciej Latocha and Łukasz Stąporek each hold 3%. This distribution ensures that while PlayWay retains strategic control, key management and individual stakeholders remain financially aligned with the company’s performance.
