PCF Group S.A., the parent company of game developer People Can Fly, finalized two significant credit agreements with Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. on October 12, 2023. These agreements provide the company with a revolving credit facility of up to 30 million PLN and a second revolving credit facility of up to approximately 4.43 million EUR. The primary purpose of this financing is to fund costs associated with work-for-hire game production, a key segment of the company’s business model. Both credit lines carry a three-year term for utilization and repayment from the date of signing. The financial terms include interest rates based on a variable WIBOR rate plus a fixed margin, with commissions set at standard market rates. To secure these loans, PCF Group has established a comprehensive security package. This includes financial and registered pledges on all shares held by the company in Incuvo S.A., as well as pledges on the company’s bank accounts. Furthermore, the debt is backed by guarantees from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego covering up to 80% of the credit amounts, which are themselves secured by blank promissory notes. The agreements impose standard restrictive covenants on PCF Group, such as limitations on changing the core business scope and restrictions on incurring additional financial indebtedness. The bank retains the right to terminate the agreements or halt funding in the event of a breach of contract. This strategic financing move, which followed negotiations initiated in May 2023, provides the Warsaw-based developer with the liquidity necessary to execute its external development projects while maintaining its operational stability within the competitive global gaming industry.

People Can Fly Canada Inc., a Montreal-based subsidiary of the Polish game development firm PCF Group S.A., entered into a strategic credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal on May 24, 2023. This financing arrangement establishes two distinct demand revolving credit facilities totaling 9.2 million Canadian dollars. The primary objective of this capital infusion is to bolster the subsidiary’s operational liquidity and bridge the financing of Canadian tax incentives, which are critical components of the region's game development ecosystem. The financial package is divided into a 1.2 million CAD facility dedicated to general working capital and corporate requirements, and a larger 8 million CAD facility specifically earmarked for financing tax credits. These credits are subject to annual renewal and carry interest rates based on the Canadian Prime Rate plus a standard market margin. To secure the financing, PCF Group S.A. provided an unsecured guarantee of 9.2 million CAD, while the Canadian subsidiary granted the bank a first-ranking security interest and a mortgage of 11.04 million CAD over its entire movable property and assets. The agreement imposes standard restrictive covenants and reporting obligations on the borrower, including limitations on changing the core business scope or incurring additional financial debt without lender approval. This transaction reflects a common industry practice where international studios leverage regional tax incentives through specialized banking products to maintain steady cash flow during lengthy development cycles. The scope of this disclosure is limited to the legal and financial obligations arising from the Canadian operations of the PCF Group as of the second quarter of 2023.
PCF Group S.A., the Warsaw-based parent company of game developer People Can Fly, has formally entered negotiations with Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. to secure a significant credit facility. This strategic financial move follows the receipt of financing terms approved by the bank's credit committee on May 30, 2023. The proposed agreement outlines a revolving credit facility and an overdraft line totaling a maximum of 50 million PLN. The primary objective of this capital injection is to fund production costs associated with the company’s work-for-hire game development projects. The proposed terms specify a three-year availability period for the credit line, with the final repayment deadline set for three years after the execution of the agreement. To secure the facility, the company expects to establish standard collateral customary for transactions of this nature within the financial sector. While the commencement of negotiations marks a definitive step toward strengthening the company's liquidity and production capacity, the finalization of the credit agreement remains subject to successful legal and financial discussions. The management board emphasizes that the receipt of these terms does not guarantee the ultimate execution of the binding documentation. This development reflects the company's ongoing efforts to stabilize its financial framework for long-term project delivery within the competitive global gaming market.
PCF Group S.A. has entered into a strategic financial arrangement through its subsidiary, People Can Fly Canada Inc., by signing a letter of intent with the Bank of Montreal. This agreement, finalized on May 1, 2023, outlines the terms for two distinct demand revolving credit facilities intended to support the studio's North American operations. The primary objective of this financing is to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes and to bridge the gap for anticipated Canadian tax credits, which are a common component of game development financing in the region. The proposed credit facilities total 9.2 million Canadian dollars. Specifically, 1.2 million CAD is earmarked for working capital and general corporate needs, while the remaining 8 million CAD is dedicated to financing tax incentives. As part of the arrangement, the Warsaw-based parent company, PCF Group S.A., will act as a guarantor for the full amount of the debt. The subsidiary is also expected to provide customary security interests typical for this type of corporate lending transaction. This financial move reflects the group's efforts to optimize its capital structure and leverage regional fiscal benefits within the Canadian gaming industry. While the letter of intent establishes a framework for the loans, the finalization of the credit documentation is scheduled for approximately May 30, 2023. The management notes that the commencement of negotiations does not guarantee the final execution of the agreements, though it signals a clear intent to secure specialized funding for its Montreal-based operations.
PCF Group S.A., the parent company of game developer People Can Fly, has formally terminated two significant credit facility agreements previously established with Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. The termination notice, issued on September 6, 2024, applies to a revolving credit facility of up to 30,000,000.00 PLN and a second revolving credit facility of up to 4,426,444.00 EUR. These financial instruments were originally secured in October 2023 to provide capital for costs associated with work-for-hire game production projects. The termination of these agreements follows a period in which the company did not submit any requests for funds, resulting in zero utilization of the available credit lines. The cancellation becomes effective after a notice period of ten business days from the date the bank receives the formal declarations. This strategic move indicates a shift in the company's financing requirements or a reliance on alternative capital sources for its ongoing development projects. In conjunction with the termination, the management board has requested the release of all collateral and securities established to back the credit obligations. This process involves the bank providing necessary documentation to confirm the expiration of these securities and enabling the removal of liens or encumbrances from the company’s assets in relevant public registers. The scope of this action is centered on the Polish corporate entity and its financial relationship with its primary lender regarding specific production-related financing.
