Summary

Krzysztof Kostowski, the CEO of PlayWay S.A., has formally waived his right to participate in the company’s incentive program for the 2023 fiscal year. This legal declaration, executed in July 2024, follows the confirmation by the Supervisory Board that the performance conditions required for the issuance of new shares had been met. Despite being the sole member of the Management Board eligible for the award, the executive opted to relinquish his entitlement to the specified equity compensation. The waiver specifically covers the right to receive an offer for and subsequently subscribe to 66,000 new ordinary bearer shares. These shares carry a nominal value of 0.10 PLN each. The decision was made in accordance with the regulations established by the Ordinary General Meeting in June 2023 and subsequently amended in June 2024, which allow Management Board members to decline participation in the incentive scheme through written or electronic notification. This action impacts the capital structure and executive compensation dynamics of PlayWay S.A., a major player in the Polish game development and publishing sector. By waiving these rights, the executive prevents the dilution of existing shareholders that would have resulted from the issuance of these 66,000 new shares. The declaration is final and took effect immediately upon its submission to the Supervisory Board, effectively nullifying the specific share allocation earmarked for the CEO under the 2023 incentive cycle.

Raport Bieżący ESPI Nr 10/ 2024

The management of PlayWay S.A. has issued a formal update regarding the implementation of its Incentive Program for the 2023 fiscal year, specifically concerning the issuance of new ordinary bearer shares. Following a resolution by the Supervisory Board on July 18, 2024, which confirmed that the necessary conditions for executive share acquisition had been met, the President of the Management Board, Krzysztof Kostowski, formally waived his right to be offered and to subscribe to 66,000 new shares. These shares carried a nominal value of 0.10 PLN each and were intended as performance-based compensation for the preceding financial period. This waiver effectively concludes the share issuance process for the 2023 financial year under the current program framework. Because the President was the sole individual eligible for the allocation during this period, and no other members of the Management Board remain entitled to participate for the 2023 cycle, the company will not offer these new shares to any other parties. The decision aligns with the regulatory guidelines established by the Ordinary General Meeting in June 2023 and subsequently amended in June 2024. The scope of this disclosure is limited to the internal corporate governance and executive compensation structure of the Warsaw-based game developer and publisher. By documenting the voluntary forfeiture of these equity rights, the company clarifies its capital structure and confirms that the planned increase in share volume associated with the 2023 incentive targets will not proceed. This administrative action ensures compliance with market transparency requirements regarding material changes to incentive program execution and potential share dilution.

Uchwała Nr 1 ZWZ PlayWay S.A. z dnia 20 Czerwca 2024

The Ordinary General Meeting of PlayWay S.A., held on June 20, 2024, formalized the company’s financial and operational performance for the 2023 fiscal year. Representing 74.54% of the share capital, shareholders ratified the 2023 activity reports and consolidated financial statements, which revealed a net profit of 106.7 million PLN and total assets valued at 534.9 million PLN. The meeting also confirmed the individual company net profit of 144 million PLN, leading to the authorization of a substantial dividend payment of 21.82 PLN per share. This dividend, totaling 144.01 million PLN, was sourced from both 2023 profits and retained earnings, with distribution scheduled for July 2024. Operational governance was a primary focus, as shareholders unanimously granted discharge to all members of the Management and Supervisory Boards for their performance during the 2023 period. This vote of confidence was accompanied by the approval of a new Management Board Incentive Program designed to align executive compensation with long-term growth and project diversification. To facilitate this program, the company authorized a share capital increase through the issuance of up to 66,000 new shares. Eligibility for the incentive program is contingent upon rigorous performance metrics, emphasizing both financial growth and creative output. Management Board members must maintain continuous service, ensure the company achieves a net profit exceeding the previous year’s results, and personally oversee the development of at least five unique, non-sequel game projects. By excluding existing shareholders' pre-emptive rights for these specific issuances, the company has streamlined the mechanism for rewarding leadership based on the successful expansion of its gaming portfolio and sustained profitability within the global market.

The primary objective is the issuance of 66,000 Series J ordinary bearer shares to fulfill the company’s Incentive Program for Management Board members. This specific issuance is directed exclusively to Krzysztof Kostowski, the President of the Management Board, following the Supervisory Board's confirmation that the necessary performance criteria for the 2024 financial year were met. The capital increase raises the company’s share capital from 660,000.00 PLN to 666,600.00 PLN. Each Series J share has a nominal value and an issue price of 0.10 PLN, to be covered entirely by cash contributions.

The scope of the document covers corporate governance actions within the Polish gaming industry for the 2024-2025 period. The methodology follows legal requirements under the Polish Commercial Companies Code, specifically utilizing authorizations granted by the General Meeting in June 2024.

Raport Bieżący ESPI Nr 9/2024

This regulatory report, issued by Warsaw-based game publisher PlayWay S.A. in July 2024, details the implementation of the company’s Incentive Program for Management Board members following the 2023 fiscal year. The primary purpose of the document is to confirm that the President of the Management Board, Krzysztof Kostowski, met the specific financial and operational performance criteria required to trigger the issuance of new incentive shares. The findings highlight a significant year-over-year financial improvement for the company. PlayWay reported a net profit of 144,005,978.33 PLN for 2023, a substantial increase from the 114,800,486.21 PLN earned in 2022. Beyond financial metrics, the program required the fulfillment of operational milestones, specifically the acquisition of at least five new, original game projects. The report confirms these targets were met through the addition of Medieval Farmer Simulator, Holstin, Noble's Life: Kingdom Reborn, Heavy Duty Construction, and Flight Catastrophe to the company's portfolio. As a result of meeting these conditions, the Supervisory Board approved the issuance of 66,000 new ordinary bearer shares to Krzysztof Kostowski at an issue price of 0.10 PLN per share. To ensure long-term alignment with shareholder interests, the participant is bound by a 24-month lock-up period, during which the newly acquired shares cannot be sold. The Management Board is scheduled to adopt a formal resolution to increase the share capital within 30 days of this announcement to finalize the share allotment.

PlayWay S.A. has formalized the issuance of new equity to its leadership as part of a structured incentive program designed to align executive compensation with corporate performance. On September 30, 2025, the company entered into an agreement with Krzysztof Kostowski, the President of the Management Board, for the subscription of 66,000 Series J ordinary bearer shares. These shares were issued at a nominal price of 0.10 PLN per share, following a board resolution passed in August 2025 to increase the share capital within the limits of the authorized capital. This issuance specifically excluded pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders to facilitate the direct allocation of equity to key management personnel. The transaction serves as the final execution phase of the Management Board Incentive Program originally established by the General Meeting in June 2023 and subsequently amended in June 2024. The allocation of these shares is tied to the settlement of the incentive program for the 2024 fiscal year. To ensure long-term commitment and stability, the agreement includes a mandatory lock-up period. The President of the Management Board is prohibited from selling any of the newly acquired Series J shares for a duration of 24 months from the date of the subscription agreement. This corporate action reflects the ongoing governance strategy of the Warsaw-based game developer and publisher, focusing on internal equity-based rewards rather than external market acquisitions. The scope of the disclosure is limited to the internal capital structure of PlayWay S.A. and its executive leadership. By utilizing authorized capital and removing pre-emptive rights, the company has streamlined the process of rewarding its top executive while ensuring that the newly issued shares remain held by leadership for at least two years, thereby signaling confidence in the company’s future valuation to the broader market.

Resolution No. 1 of the Ordinary General Meeting of PlayWay S.A. (30 December 2023)

The Ordinary General Meeting of PlayWay S.A., held on June 30, 2023, finalized the financial and operational oversight for the 2022 fiscal year while establishing strategic incentives for future growth. Shareholders ratified financial statements showing a balance sheet total of 170.27 million PLN for the company and 558.6 million PLN for the Capital Group. Net profits for the period reached approximately 114.8 million PLN on a standalone basis and 112.3 million PLN on a consolidated basis. These results supported the approval of a substantial dividend totaling 127,974,000 PLN, or 19.39 PLN per share, which utilized the entirety of the 2022 net profit supplemented by 13.17 million PLN from retained earnings. Beyond financial distributions, the assembly focused on corporate governance and long-term performance alignment. All members of the Management and Supervisory Boards received official discharge for their 2022 duties. To drive future expansion, a Management Incentive Program for the 2023–2025 period was established, authorizing the issuance of up to 66,000 new shares. Eligibility for this program is strictly tied to rigorous performance metrics, including year-over-year growth in consolidated operating profit and the acquisition of at least five new game projects annually. These shares are subject to lock-up provisions to ensure sustained executive commitment. Structural updates to the company’s Articles of Association were also implemented to enhance oversight and transparency. These amendments mandate quarterly Supervisory Board meetings and regulate the costs associated with external advisors. While the resolutions were passed by a small fraction of the total share capital—representing 2.63% or 173,518 shares—the decisions were made with unanimous or near-unanimous support, solidifying the company's fiscal policy and operational roadmap for the mid-term.
