Current Report No. 15/2021: Investment Agreement and Share Acquisition

PCF Group S.A. completed a strategic acquisition of Game On Creative, Inc., a Montreal‑based animation and audio studio that supplies high‑end cinematics for major gaming titles, including the recent Outriders release. The transaction, finalized on 27 April 2021, involved a trust and its beneficiary Samuel Girardin. PCF paid PLN 29 369 385,59 for 100 % of Game On’s equity, with a potential earn‑out of 5 % of EBITDA for the fiscal years 2021‑2025 if predefined thresholds are surpassed. To secure the purchase price, PCF agreed to issue 387 714 Series D ordinary bearer shares—approximately 1.29 % of its capital—at PLN 75,75 each in a private placement exclusively offered to the seller. The Series D shares are subject to a lock‑up covering 85 % of the issue, with staggered release dates through April 2023 and December 2024. A conditional call option from Sebastian Wojciechowski allows the seller to reacquire shares at the issue price if the capital increase is not registered on time, with a 30 % pre‑payment provision before lock‑up expiry. The agreement includes standard representations, warranties, and a pledge covering roughly 30 % of the Series D shares to secure potential claims. Non‑competition clauses bind both seller and beneficiary, while Samuel Girardin will assume leadership roles within People Can Fly Canada, Inc., reinforcing PCF’s AAA development capabilities. The deal aligns with PCF’s strategy to enhance animation and audio production for simultaneous multi‑project development.

The report announces that on February 1, 2021 the board of PCF Group S.A. received confirmation from the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) regarding two key decisions affecting the company’s Series B ordinary shares. First, GPW’s resolution No. 86/2021 designates February 2, 2021 as the final trading day for 2,062,512 Series B shares, each with a nominal value of 0.02 PLN and identified by ISIN PLPCFGR00036. Second, resolution No. 87/2021 authorises the introduction of the same number of Series B shares into primary market trading on February 3, 2021, contingent upon the National Securities Depository’s registration of these shares and assignment of ISIN PLPCFGR00010. Both resolutions became effective immediately upon adoption. The document serves to inform shareholders and market participants of the scheduled cessation of trading for existing Series B shares and the subsequent listing of newly issued shares, thereby ensuring compliance with Polish financial regulations. It references § 17(1)(4) of the 2018 Ministerial Regulation on ongoing and periodic information required from issuers, underscoring the legal basis for disclosure. No additional data such as market impact figures or investor surveys are included; the focus remains strictly on procedural dates, share quantities, nominal values, and ISIN identifiers.

The report announces that on 14 June 2023, Krafton, Inc. and PCF Group S.A., together with key shareholder Sebastian Wojciechowski, entered into a side‑letter to the investment agreement dated 28 March 2023. The side‑letter stipulates that if PCF Group increases its share capital by issuing up to 2 510 904 new shares before 31 December 2023, Krafton will have the right of first refusal to subscribe for shares that would bring its total holdings to 10 % of the capital and voting rights. The subscription price is fixed at PLN 40.20 per share, independent of the price set for other investors. The agreement does not obligate Krafton to purchase any shares, and the allocation of new shares to other investors remains unaffected. The document is a regulatory disclosure under EU Regulation 596/2014 and Polish securities law, intended solely for informational purposes. It contains extensive legal caveats restricting distribution outside the European Economic Area and prohibiting any promotional use of the information. The report clarifies that it is not an offer, does not constitute a prospectus, and is limited to qualified investors in the EU, UK, or U.S. under Rule 144A. No financial projections or performance guarantees are provided; the report includes forward‑looking statements subject to risk and uncertainty. The disclosure emphasizes that no manager or affiliated party assumes liability for the accuracy of the information, and any investment decisions must rely on independently verified data.

Raport Bieżący Nr 12/2021: Ujawnienie opóźnionej informacji poufnej o utworzeniu spółki zależnej

The report discloses a delayed confidential disclosure concerning the creation of a subsidiary, People Can Fly Chicago, LLC (PCF Chicago), under PCF Group S.A. The disclosure follows the acquisition of the Phosphor Games development team on 23 April 2021. The subsidiary was formed under Delaware law on 6 April 2021, as part of a letter‑of‑intent transaction with Phosphor Studios and Phosphor Games, intended to facilitate the acquisition of the development team. The report explains that the creation of PCF Chicago does not guarantee the successful acquisition of the team, and that the subsidiary’s establishment was an intermediate step in a broader strategy. The delay in public disclosure, justified under Article 17(4) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), was deemed necessary to protect the company’s legitimate interests. The board argued that premature release could have exposed ongoing negotiations, potentially harming deal terms and the company’s market value. Confidentiality was maintained through a monitored list of individuals with access, in compliance with Article 18 MAR. Upon publication, the company will notify the Polish Financial Supervision Authority of the delay and its justification. The document covers a single corporate action within Poland’s PCF Group, involving entities in the United States and Delaware. It is a regulatory filing dated 23 April 2021, reflecting the company’s compliance with EU market‑abuse rules and its strategic acquisition activities in the gaming sector.

The review confirms that the consolidated interim financial statements for PCF Group Spółka Akcyjna, covering the period from 1 January to 30 June 2025, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 34 for interim reporting as adopted by European Union regulations. No material misstatements or omissions were identified during the review, which was conducted in accordance with Polish Standard 2410 (the local equivalent of International Standard on Review Engagements). The review involved inquiry procedures directed at financial and accounting personnel, analytical procedures, and other review activities. Because the scope of a review is narrower than that of an audit, no assurance is provided beyond the conclusion that nothing has come to the reviewers’ attention that would lead them to believe the statements are not prepared in all material respects. Key disclosures highlighted include a valuation test for a cash‑generating unit related to capitalised development costs for a new game, with uncertainties noted regarding the assumptions underpinning projected cash flows and actual sales under an early‑access model. Additionally, a deferred tax asset of PLN 53,543 thousand is subject to uncertainty due to potential changes in the group’s tax‑profit forecasts over a five‑year horizon, reflecting doubts about the feasibility of current strategic plans. No modifications to these disclosures were recommended by the reviewers. The review covers the entire PCF Group, headquartered in Warsaw, and was completed on 30 September 2025 by Grant Thornton Polska Prosta Spółka Akcyjna, a member of the Grant Thornton International network.

Current Report No. 14/2023: Initiation of Negotiations for a Development and Publishing Agreement

The report announces that PCF Group S.A., a Warsaw‑based developer, has decided to enter negotiations for a Development and Publishing Agreement with a well‑known publisher. The decision follows receipt of the publisher’s proposal on 19 May 2023 and a detailed review conducted by the board. It aligns with the company’s strategy update issued on 31 January 2023, which states that the group will pursue attractive work‑for‑hire collaborations with reputable partners. The proposed agreement is a framework contract, with detailed terms to be set out in an accompanying execution contract. This secondary document will outline the product description, production schedule, and payment terms for the developer.

The board clarifies that initiating negotiations does not guarantee a final agreement. Public disclosure of any eventual contract will be provided in a separate report.

Summary of Main Questions and Answers at the FY2018 Third Quarter GREE Results Briefing: Japan

The briefing outlines GREE’s strategic focus for FY2018, emphasizing steady progress in its Funplex division and a significant investment of ¥10 billion into the emerging VTuber market. Funplex benefits from separating development and operation functions, positioning itself as a trusted operator for third‑party titles. The VTuber initiative allocates roughly ¥4 billion to support illustrators and creators, with the remaining ¥6 billion earmarked for advertising; GREE plans to scale investments as market traction grows, anticipating rapid expansion driven by the convergence of YouTube, influencer, and anime cultures. Internationally, GREE pursues a “game engine, IP, and global” strategy. The North American launch of *Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon: Memoria Freese* has shown strong initial sales, and the company aims to release titles simultaneously overseas or within six months of a Japanese launch, depending on development and partnership logistics. GREE also targets Facebook Instant Games with *Fishing Star*, viewing the platform as a potential major channel due to its messenger integration and low download barrier. The company highlights synergies between VTubers and VR, leveraging existing 3D rendering expertise to enhance character interaction. Domestic IPs such as *Another Eden* and *SINoALICE* are positioned for overseas appeal, with accelerated content release schedules expected to sustain sales growth. Overall, GREE’s strategy blends substantial capital deployment in new media formats with aggressive global expansion of proven IPs, aiming to capture emerging revenue streams while maintaining operational momentum.

Q1 2025 Results

Bristol-Myers Squibb’s first-quarter 2025 results demonstrate a strategic transition toward its growth portfolio, which achieved a 16% year-over-year increase in net sales. While total global net sales reached $11.2 billion, representing a 6% decline compared to the previous year, the company’s performance was bolstered by strong demand for key assets such as Opdivo, Breyanzi, and Camzyos. The company continues to navigate the impact of generic competition on legacy products, including Revlimid, Sprycel, and Pomalyst, while simultaneously advancing a robust pipeline of clinical and regulatory milestones. Financial execution remains disciplined, with the company raising its full-year 2025 guidance for both total revenues and non-GAAP earnings per share. The updated revenue outlook of $45.8 billion to $46.8 billion reflects favorable foreign exchange impacts and stronger-than-anticipated performance in the legacy portfolio. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are now projected in the range of $6.70 to $7.00. The company maintains a focus on capital allocation, prioritizing debt reduction—having achieved approximately $6 billion in paydowns toward a $10 billion target—while sustaining its commitment to shareholder dividends and share repurchases. Operational highlights for the quarter include the successful U.S. launch of Opdivo Qvantig and continued volume growth for established oncology and immunology treatments. The company is entering a data-rich period through 2027, with multiple pivotal data readouts expected for new molecular entities and life-cycle management programs. By leveraging improved market access and maintaining a strong balance sheet, the organization aims to sustain its long-term growth trajectory despite ongoing macroeconomic and regulatory challenges.

Ram HD 3500: FY 2025 Guidance

The first quarter of 2025 for Stellantis was characterized by a challenging commercial transition, resulting in a 9% decline in consolidated shipments to 1.2 million units and a 14% decrease in net revenues to €35.8 billion. These results were primarily driven by lower production volumes in North America due to extended holiday downtime, product transition impacts, and price normalization. Despite these headwinds, the company reported early signs of recovery, including a 190-basis-point sequential increase in EU30 market share and an 82% year-over-year surge in U.S. retail order intake for March 2025. The company is currently executing a significant product wave, featuring the launch of 20 all-new or upgraded nameplates, including refreshed Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. However, due to heightened uncertainties regarding evolving tariff policies and their potential impact on the competitive environment, management has suspended its 2025 financial guidance. The company is actively managing these risks by calibrating production, engaging with North American government officials, and adjusting inventory levels to protect profitability. Geographically, performance varied significantly across regions. North America faced a 25% decline in net revenues, while Enlarged Europe saw a 3% decrease. Conversely, South America demonstrated resilience with a 6% revenue increase and maintained a market share of 23.8%. The company continues to monitor market pricing trends and is re-assessing capital spending plans to navigate the current volatility. This report reflects a strategic focus on stabilizing core operations while managing the transition toward a modernized product portfolio amidst a complex global trade landscape.

Amusement facilities saw a marginal drop in sales but improved profitability, while real estate and other segments contracted sharply.

Current liabilities fell 18 % to ¥8,957 million, largely due to reduced tax payable and allowances.
