Raport Bieżący Nr 74/2017

PlayWay S.A. has finalized an investment agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Nesalis Games, a development studio based in Bielsko-Biała. This transaction follows the preliminary investment agreement established on September 29, 2017, between PlayWay and several individual partners, including Rafał Czuj, Jacek Janik, Paweł Marecki, Łukasz Marecki, and Jakub Trzebiński. By executing these provisions, PlayWay has formally joined the company and committed to a capital increase through a cash contribution of 249,975 PLN.

Upon the official registration of this capital increase in the National Court Register, PlayWay will hold a 75% stake in the share capital of Nesalis Games. This acquisition aligns with the broader corporate strategy of expanding a portfolio of specialized development teams. The primary business objective for Nesalis Games involves the production of PC games, with immediate development efforts focused on an initial project currently titled Security Monitoring.

This strategic move highlights the ongoing consolidation and investment activity within the Polish game development sector during late 2017. The transaction reflects a model where established publishers provide capital and infrastructure to smaller studios in exchange for significant equity and publishing rights. The legal basis for this disclosure rests on market abuse regulations regarding the publication of inside information that could impact investor decisions. This specific expansion reinforces the parent company's presence in the PC gaming segment through the integration of new creative talent and intellectual property.
