Notification of Shares in PCF Group S.A.

Sebastian Wojciechowski, a major shareholder in the Polish game development studio PCF Group S.A., issued a formal notification regarding a change in his potential future shareholding. The primary purpose of the disclosure is to report the execution of a conditional call option agreement on April 27, 2021, between Wojciechowski and Fiducie familiale Samuel Girardin 2020, a Canadian trust. This agreement grants the trust the right to purchase a portion of Wojciechowski’s holdings in the Warsaw-based company. Under the terms of the agreement, the trust is entitled to acquire 387,714 ordinary bearer shares, representing approximately 1.31% of the company’s share capital and total voting rights. The exercise window for this call option is set between January 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025, subject to the fulfillment of specific condition precedents and the avoidance of closed trading periods. As of the notification date, the option remains unexercised. Prior to and immediately following the execution of this agreement, Wojciechowski directly held 14,872,022 Series A shares, accounting for 50.31% of the company’s share capital and voting power. When accounting for an additional 28 shares held by an ascendant relative, Jan Ryszard Wojciechowski, the total combined interest remains at 50.31%. However, the notification concludes that if the call option is fully exercised in 2025, Wojciechowski’s direct voting interest would decrease to 48.9955%, or 48.9956% when including the shares held by his relative. This transaction marks a significant future shift in the company's ownership structure, potentially moving the primary shareholder below the 50% voting threshold.

PCF Group S.A. established a comprehensive strategic and financial framework for the 2021 fiscal year, centered on profit distribution, governance modernization, and long-term talent retention. The company reported a consolidated net profit of 61.3 million PLN and a standalone net profit of 41.8 million PLN. From these earnings, a dividend of 0.27 PLN per share was designated, representing nearly 20% of the standalone profit, while the remaining 33.7 million PLN was directed toward reserve capital to bolster future stability. Governance reforms focused on aligning the company with Warsaw Stock Exchange best practices and the Act on Statutory Auditors. These updates included streamlining Supervisory Board operations through electronic voting and shortened notification timelines, alongside enhanced reporting requirements for diversity, ESG metrics, and internal control effectiveness. To ensure legal clarity regarding board mandates, the entire Supervisory Board resigned to facilitate a formal reappointment process for a second term, ensuring the inclusion of independent members and the discharge of duties for executive leadership. A central pillar of the company’s forward-looking strategy involves the implementation of a Long-Term Incentive Plan active through 2031. This program is supported by a five-year share buyback authorization of up to 500,000 shares and a conditional capital increase involving the issuance of approximately 1.5 million Series C subscription warrants and Series E shares. By excluding pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders, the company aims to directly link the interests of key employees and associates with long-term value creation. This incentive structure allows the Board to set specific performance criteria and lock-up periods, ensuring that human capital remains a primary driver of strategic growth.

In 2020, PCF Group S.A. underwent a transformative period marked by its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and a significant shift in its corporate structure. Following its conversion into a joint-stock company and the absorption of its primary subsidiary, the Group expanded its global footprint to include wholly-owned production studios in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This expansion was supported by a successful IPO that raised 100.3 million PLN, facilitating the acquisition of a development team in Chicago and the establishment of new studios in Łódź and Montreal. Financial performance in 2020 was characterized by robust growth, with consolidated revenue rising 24% to 103.8 million PLN and net profit surging by over 400% to 24.6 million PLN. This growth was primarily driven by work-for-hire Triple-A game production, which accounted for 96% of revenue. The Group benefited from a preferential 5% "IP Box" tax rate and pandemic-related subsidies from both Polish and North American government programs. Despite this growth, revenue remained highly concentrated, with over 80% derived from a strategic partnership with Square Enix. The Group’s development pipeline centers on high-profile action-RPG titles, including the 2021 release of *Outriders* and two major projects slated for 2024: *Project Gemini* and *Project Dagger*. While the Group continues to rely on major publishers like Square Enix and Take-Two Interactive for financing and distribution, it is actively transitioning toward a self-publishing model, notably retaining the intellectual property for *Project Dagger*. Strategic risks include heavy reliance on specialized talent, currency fluctuations, and the "key man" risk associated with CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski, who maintains a 50.31% stake and significant statutory control. Governance is characterized by high insider concentration, with a shareholder agreement controlling 71.25% of voting rights. While the Group adheres to most Warsaw Stock Exchange standards, it maintains a centralized management structure tailored to its rapid transition from a private entity to a major public developer.
