PlayWay S.A. updated its Articles of Association following the June 30, 2023, Ordinary General Meeting to refine corporate governance and operational oversight.
The Supervisory Board is now required to convene at least once every quarter, an increase from the previous mandate of three meetings per year.
The Supervisory Board has been formally empowered to set a maximum annual budget for external advisors to balance independent expertise with fiscal control.
Transactions between PlayWay S.A. and its parent, subsidiary, or affiliated entities that exceed 10% of total assets are now exempt from requiring explicit Supervisory Board consent.
The 10% asset threshold for related-party transaction exemptions is calculated based on the company's most recently approved financial statements.
These statutory amendments are designed to align internal regulations with broader commercial code requirements while streamlining financial operations within the company ecosystem.
The amendments to the Articles of Association of PlayWay S.A., enacted following the Ordinary General Meeting on June 30, 2023, introduce specific structural and procedural changes to the company’s corporate governance framework. These modifications primarily focus on the oversight capabilities of the Supervisory Board and the regulatory requirements surrounding related-party transactions. By updating the statutes, the company aligns its internal regulations with broader commercial code requirements while refining the operational frequency of its governing bodies.
A significant addition to the statutes involves the formal empowerment of the Supervisory Board to establish a maximum annual budget for external advisors. This change ensures that the board has the necessary resources to seek independent expertise while maintaining fiscal control over the total costs incurred by the company for such services during a given financial year. Furthermore, the frequency of mandatory Supervisory Board meetings has been increased. Previously required to meet at least three times per year, the board must now convene at least once every quarter, ensuring more consistent and timely oversight of the company’s operations and strategic direction.
The amendments also clarify the protocols for transactions between the company and its parent, subsidiary, or affiliated entities. Specifically, the updated statutes stipulate that transactions exceeding ten percent of the company's total assets—calculated based on the most recent approved financial statements—do not require explicit consent from the Supervisory Board when conducted within the defined group structure. These changes reflect a shift toward streamlined internal financial operations within the PlayWay ecosystem, balancing administrative efficiency with established accounting standards and statutory reporting obligations.
