Current Report No. 8/2025: Amendment to Investment Agreement with PCF Group S.A., Krafton Inc. and Sebastian Wojciechowski

23 April 20251 pages182 words

Summary

The amendment to the investment agreement between PCF Group S.A., Krafton Inc. and Sebastian Wojciechowski was finalized on 23 April 2025, updating the terms originally set on 28 March 2023. The primary change is Krafton’s voluntary relinquishment of two preferential rights previously granted under the agreement: the right of first negotiation and the right of first refusal concerning any contracts the company may enter for the Victoria or Bifrost projects, provided those projects are released in a model other than self‑publishing. All remaining provisions of the original investment contract remain intact, preserving the broader framework of the partnership. The amendment follows earlier disclosures made in continuous reports numbered 12/2023 (28 March 2023) and 23/2023 (14 June 2023), which outlined the initial investment structure and the parties’ respective stakes. By waiving the priority negotiation and refusal rights, Krafton signals a strategic shift, potentially allowing PCF Group greater flexibility in seeking alternative publishing arrangements for the two titles. No financial figures, valuation adjustments, or performance metrics accompany the amendment, indicating that the change is contractual rather than fiscal. The scope of the update is confined to the corporate relationship among a Polish public company, a South Korean game developer, and an individual executive, and it pertains specifically to two upcoming game projects. No new data collection or survey methodology is involved; the information is presented as a formal corporate disclosure under Article 17(1) of the MAR Regulation.

PCF Group Current Report No. 23/2023: Amendment to Investment Agreement (Series F)

Current Report No. 23/2023 details a strategic investment agreement between the Polish game developer PCF Group S.A. (People Can Fly) and the South Korean publisher Krafton, Inc. Executed on June 14, 2023, this side letter supplements a previous investment agreement from March 2023. The primary objective is to outline the conditions under which Krafton may increase its equity stake in PCF Group through a new share issuance. The agreement specifies that if PCF Group’s General Meeting authorizes the issuance of up to 2,510,904 new shares by December 31, 2023, Krafton will be granted priority allocation rights. To maintain or reach a specific ownership threshold, Krafton has the option to subscribe to a number of shares that would result in a total holding of 10.00% of the company’s share capital and voting rights. The parties established a fixed subscription price of 40.20 PLN per share for Krafton, regardless of the final price or allocation set for other participating investors. The scope of this transaction is centered on the Polish capital market, as the new shares are not registered for offering in the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, or South Africa. While the side letter formalizes the mechanisms for allocation and pricing, it does not constitute a binding legal obligation for Krafton to subscribe to the shares; rather, it sets the framework should the investor choose to exercise its rights. This agreement reinforces the strategic partnership between the two entities, providing PCF Group with a clear path toward capital expansion while securing Krafton’s position as a significant minority shareholder.

PlayWay S.A. has formalized an amendment to a previous investment agreement regarding the ownership structure of ECC Games Sp. z o.o. This regulatory filing, dated April 28, 2017, details the inclusion of three new individual partners into the existing investment framework originally established in late 2016. The transaction involves the redistribution of equity through the sale of shares by a primary stakeholder to both the corporate entity and the newly joined individual partners. The execution of these share purchase agreements results in a significant realignment of the capital structure for the Warsaw-based developer ECC Games. Following the registration of these changes with the National Court Register, Inovo Venture Fund I remains the largest stakeholder with 36.9% of the shares. PlayWay S.A. maintains a substantial position with 34.6% ownership, while the remaining equity is distributed among four individual partners, with holdings ranging from 19.7% down to 0.6%. This corporate action reflects the ongoing consolidation and strategic partnership efforts within the Polish game development sector during the 2017 fiscal period. By integrating key individuals directly into the ownership structure of the subsidiary, the parent company and its venture partners aim to align incentives across the management and investment teams. The disclosure complies with European market abuse regulations regarding the release of confidential information that could impact the valuation of publicly traded entities on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Raport Bieżący Nr 47/2025

PCF Group S.A., the parent company of the game development studio People Can Fly, has officially entered negotiations with a renowned global publisher to establish a new production partnership. This development follows the receipt of a formal Statement of Work and a framework Service Agreement on December 20, 2025. The proposed collaboration centers on the development of a video game under a work-for-hire business model, where the studio provides development services in exchange for agreed-upon remuneration while the publisher retains project oversight and rights. This strategic move aligns with the company’s updated corporate strategy announced in early 2023, which emphasizes pursuing attractive work-for-hire opportunities alongside internal intellectual property development. By engaging with a high-profile partner, the studio aims to leverage its technical expertise and production capacity to generate steady revenue streams. The terms currently under discussion are described as consistent with standard industry practices for large-scale service agreements in the gaming sector. While the commencement of these negotiations marks a significant step toward securing a major new project, the leadership of PCF Group S.A. notes that a final agreement has not yet been executed. The successful conclusion of these talks would represent a continuation of the studio's efforts to balance its portfolio between original titles and collaborative projects with major industry publishers. Further public disclosures are expected once the negotiations reach a definitive conclusion or if a formal contract is signed.

Current Report No. 14/2021

This regulatory report, issued on April 27, 2021, details the acquisition of Game On Creative, Inc. by PCF Group S.A. (People Can Fly). The disclosure reveals previously delayed inside information regarding a non-binding letter of intent signed on March 11, 2021, and the subsequent execution of a definitive investment agreement. The transaction involves the 100% acquisition of the Montreal-based creative agency, which specializes in motion capture, cinematics, and audio for the global gaming industry. The financial structure of the deal establishes a purchase price based on eight times Game On’s 2020 EBITDA, subject to adjustments for debt, working capital, and potential leakage. The acquisition is primarily financed through a private subscription of PCF Group Series D shares issued to the seller’s trust, SG Trust. To align long-term interests, the agreement includes a five-year earn-out provision granting the seller 5% of annual EBITDA if specific targets are met. Furthermore, most newly issued shares are subject to a lock-up period, and a call option mechanism is established should the share registration face delays beyond 2021. Strategically, the acquisition integrates Game On into PCF Group’s North American operations. Samuel Girardin, the founder of Game On, transitions to the role of Studio Head at People Can Fly Canada while maintaining his presidency at Game On. PCF Group justified the initial delay in public disclosure under European Market Abuse Regulations to protect the integrity of negotiations and prevent third-party interference that could have compromised the transaction's terms or misled the public regarding the deal's certainty.

Raport bieżący nr 44/2025

The primary aim is to announce that PCF Group S.A., headquartered in Warsaw, has entered into a conditional settlement with Square Enix Limited of London concerning the financial finalisation of the Gemini project and the termination of two existing production‑publishing contracts. The settlement, signed on 19 November 2025, resolves the 12 August 2020 agreement for Gemini and the 16 February 2016 agreement for the Madness project, with both parties mutually waiving any further claims arising from their prior collaboration. Key terms of the settlement include a suspensive condition: PCF Group must deliver, within 30 days of signing, a “Closing Kit” comprising all development materials generated for Gemini. Square Enix then has a further 30‑day window to review and confirm the kit’s contents. Failure by Square Enix to respond or any rejection of the kit will cause the settlement to lapse, nullifying all stipulated legal effects. The agreement therefore hinges on timely exchange and verification of deliverables rather than on any monetary settlement disclosed in the announcement. The scope is limited to the two companies—PCF Group, a Polish capital‑market entity, and Square Enix, a UK‑based publisher—and to the two video‑game projects, Gemini and Madness, spanning contractual relationships from 2016 to 2020. No quantitative data or broader market analysis is presented, and the communication serves solely as a regulatory disclosure under Article 17(1) of the MAR regulation. Further updates on the outcome of the conditional arrangement will be provided in subsequent filings.
