Current Report No. 3/2025: Disclosure of Delayed Inside Information Regarding PCF Group S.A. Negotiations with Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC
PCF Group S.A. has officially disclosed the commencement of negotiations with Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC regarding a Prototype Development Agreement for a new video game project, codenamed Project Delta. This disclosure follows the formal execution of the agreement on March 13, 2025. The partnership is structured under a work-for-hire model, wherein the developer will produce a prototype based on intellectual property owned by the publisher in exchange for milestone-based compensation. The company initially delayed the public announcement of these negotiations on February 6, 2025, citing regulatory provisions under the Market Abuse Regulation. Management determined that immediate disclosure at that time posed a risk to the company’s legitimate interests, specifically regarding potential interference from competitors during the negotiation phase. Furthermore, the uncertainty surrounding the final outcome of the talks necessitated a delay to prevent market misinformation and potential volatility in the company’s valuation. This strategic move aligns with the company’s broader corporate strategy, updated in early 2023, which prioritizes securing work-for-hire collaborations with reputable industry partners. While the agreement follows standard industry practices for prototype development, the company emphasizes that the initiation of these negotiations did not guarantee a successful final contract at the time of the initial decision. The company maintained strict confidentiality protocols throughout the delay period, including the active monitoring of insider lists to ensure regulatory compliance. Future updates regarding the finalization of the project will be provided in subsequent disclosures.

Current Report No. 29/2024: Conclusion of Strategic Options Review
People Can Fly Group has officially concluded its strategic options review process, initiated in August 2024, without securing the necessary capital to sustain its current operational trajectory. The company failed to obtain approximately 350 million PLN in external financing, a sum deemed essential for maintaining the existing scale of its self-publishing game development projects. Consequently, the organization is unable to execute its previously established corporate strategy in its current form. To address the resulting financial constraints and ensure liquidity, the management board is shifting its focus toward stabilizing cash flows. The primary objective is to align capital expenditures within the self-publishing segment with the revenue generated from the company’s work-for-hire production services. By balancing these two business segments, the firm aims to achieve a sustainable financial equilibrium. This strategic pivot marks a significant contraction in the company's growth ambitions, moving away from aggressive self-funded expansion toward a more conservative, revenue-dependent model. The company has committed to providing further updates as it implements specific measures to restructure its operations and restore financial stability. Future disclosures will detail the concrete steps taken to align the group’s cost structure with its incoming cash flows from external development contracts.
