Following an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on January 18, 2019, a resolution was passed to increase the share capital of the development studio from 100,000 PLN to 211,200 PLN. This expansion was achieved through the issuance of 1,112 new shares, which were collectively acquired by PlayWay S.A., three individual developers, and a new external partner for a total investment value of 352,000 PLN. The resulting ownership structure following the registration of this capital increase in the National Court Register establishes a diversified stakeholder base.

The remaining 5.30% is held by the newly introduced partner. This financial maneuver serves to solidify the capital base of the studio, which is primarily recognized for the development of the title Prison Simulator. This corporate action, disclosed under market abuse regulations regarding inside information, reflects the ongoing strategic investment activities within the Polish game development sector during early 2019. By reconfiguring the equity distribution and injecting fresh capital, the move aligns the interests of the parent company, the creative leadership, and external investors to support the studio's production pipeline and operational stability.

This financial maneuver resulted in a shift in the ownership structure of the Lublin-based development studio.

Following the registration of the new shares with the National Court Register, PlayWay’s ownership interest adjusted to 55.10%.

PlayWay S.A. expanded its corporate structure in November 2018 through the establishment of two new subsidiaries, Stolen Labs S.A. and GameBoom VR Sp. z o.o., both headquartered in Warsaw. This strategic move aims to diversify the group’s development capabilities and streamline the management of specific intellectual properties. The formation of these entities reflects a targeted approach to both original PC game production and the burgeoning virtual reality market. Stolen Labs S.A. was founded with an initial share capital of 100,000 PLN, divided into one million shares. PlayWay S.A. maintains a dominant 90% stake in the company, having contributed 90,000 PLN, while a private individual holds the remaining 10%. The primary objective for Stolen Labs is the production of PC titles, specifically the development of Thief Simulator 2.

PlayWay S.A. has formally announced a strategic capital increase for its subsidiary, Ultimate Games S.A., following a resolution passed during an Extraordinary General Meeting on June 19, 2017. This financial restructuring involves raising the share capital from 400,000 PLN to 500,000 PLN through the issuance of 1,000,000 new shares. These shares are priced at 1 PLN each and are being issued via a private subscription model in accordance with the Polish Commercial Companies Code. This move fulfills a prior shareholder agreement established in late May 2017 and represents a targeted effort to strengthen the subsidiary’s financial foundation. The primary objective of this capital injection is to accelerate the operational growth of Ultimate Games by securing both fresh funding and new shareholders. These resources are specifically earmarked for the development and publication of two new PC titles focused on hunting themes, both of which are scheduled for release in 2018. By expanding the capital base, the company aims to enhance its production capacity within the specialized simulation and sports niches of the gaming market. This corporate action reflects the broader expansion strategy of the PlayWay group within the Polish gaming industry during the 2017 fiscal period. The transition of Ultimate Games from a limited liability company to a joint-stock company, combined with this successful share issuance, positions the developer to scale its output and diversify its portfolio.
