PCF Group Current Report No. 52/2023: Credit Facility Agreements Signed

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.
