The management of PlayWay S.A. finalized a significant restructuring and recapitalization of its subsidiary, Fishing Games Sp. z o.o., on February 3, 2017. This strategic move involved a formal agreement between PlayWay S.A. and two individual partners, Jakub Trzebiński and Mateusz Zawadzki, to increase the subsidiary's share capital from 33,000 PLN to 100,000 PLN. The capital injection of 67,000 PLN was executed through the issuance of new shares in exchange for cash contributions, resulting in a revised ownership structure where PlayWay S.A. holds a dominant 80% stake, while the remaining 20% is split between the individual partners at 18% and 2% respectively.
Simultaneous with the capital increase, the entity underwent a formal rebranding. The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved a name change from Fishing Games Sp. z o.o. to Ultimate Games Sp. z o.o. This transition marks a focused shift in the company’s operational scope within the Polish gaming industry, specifically targeting the development of titles within the fishing and hunting genres. The immediate objective for the newly allocated funds is the completion of the production for the title Ultimate Fishing.
This corporate action, disclosed under market abuse regulations regarding confidential information, establishes Ultimate Games as a specialized developer within the broader PlayWay ecosystem. By consolidating control and securing necessary liquidity, the parent company ensures the continued development of its niche simulator portfolio. The restructuring reflects a broader industry trend of creating dedicated, specialized studios to manage specific intellectual properties and genre-focused development pipelines.
