Aleksy Uchański resigned as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of PlayWay S.A. effective March 2, 2021.
Uchański is transitioning to the management board of Rejected Games Sp. z o.o., a Katowice-based subsidiary of PlayWay.
The resignation was legally required to avoid conflicts of interest, as individuals cannot simultaneously hold supervisory and management roles within the same corporate group.
The departure reduced the Supervisory Board to four members, falling below the statutory and articles of association requirement of five members.
PlayWay S.A. must convene a General Meeting of Shareholders to appoint a new Supervisory Board member and elect a new Chairman to restore full legal compliance.
The announcement was filed in accordance with the Polish Act on Public Offering and related financial regulations to ensure investor transparency.
