Informacja na Podstawie Art. 69 Ustawy o Ofercie Publicznej (2023)
This regulatory notification, issued in Warsaw on August 21, 2023, details a significant change in the shareholding structure of PlayWay S.A., a prominent Polish video game developer and publisher. The primary purpose of the communication is to fulfill legal disclosure requirements under Article 69 of the Act on Public Offering regarding substantial packages of shares. The transaction involves the transfer of equity from the company’s founder, Krzysztof Kostowski, to a family foundation as part of a private asset management strategy.
The transaction, executed on August 18, 2023, involved the donation of 2,700,000 shares of PlayWay S.A. by Krzysztof Kostowski to the Fundacja Rodzinna Kostowscy (Kostowscy Family Foundation). Prior to this transfer, Kostowski held these shares directly, representing approximately 40.91% of the company’s share capital and an equivalent 40.91% of the total voting rights. Following the settlement of the donation agreement on brokerage accounts, the Foundation now holds these 2,700,000 shares directly.
While the direct ownership has shifted to the Foundation, the overall control of the voting block remains with Krzysztof Kostowski. As the sole founder, sole board member, and a primary beneficiary holding three out of four votes at the Foundation’s Assembly of Beneficiaries, Kostowski maintains indirect control over the 40.91% stake. The scope of this disclosure is limited to the Polish capital market and specifically concerns the internal reorganization of the majority shareholder's holdings without altering the ultimate control of the company. The notification confirms that no other subsidiaries or third parties are involved in this specific voting block under the cited financial regulations.
