Holders of the two series A and series B preference shares, which may be converted for a fixed number of common shares, have several rights additional to the ones of the common shareholders, which may vary for series A and B). These rights are stipulated in the corporate documents of Huuuge, Inc., in particular in the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Essentially, the rights refer to:
As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no shareholder owned over 50% of the Company's equity or had more than 50% of voting rights. The Company's major shareholder is Mr. Anton Gauffin, CEO and President, who participates in the Company's ordinary shares indirectly (through shares of Big Bets OU).
The supplementary capital derives mainly from the difference between nominal value and the market price on issuance of shares, or the difference between the book value and purchase price on re-issue of treasury shares.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 the following transactions in common and preference shares took place:
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, 1,340,340 share options held by employees under the share-based payment program were exercised, out of which for 748,971 options exercised treasury shares were delivered to employees before June 30, 2023 (the difference is due to cashless exercises).
The delivery of treasury shares was presented as a movement from treasury shares to common shares. The movement resulted in an increase in share capital in the amount of the nominal value of the shares delivered, and the difference between the value of treasury shares and the cash consideration received in the amount of USD 3,274 thousand was recognized in supplementary capital. At the same time, the movement decreased the number of shares (not issued) allocated to the existing share-based payment programs.
As reported in the current report no. 25/2023 dated July 4, 2023, as a result of the settlement of the acquisition and transfer of ownership of the shares offered in response to a time-limited invitation to submit to the Company sale offers relating to shares in the Company, at a pre-determined and fixed price per share, open to all shareholders of the Company (the "Invitation") (the "SBB") announced by the Company on May 30, 2023 in the current report no. 19/2023 (as subsequently amended and announced by the Company in current report no. 23/2023 on June 19, 2023), the Company acquired 17,121,919 of its common shares that represent 20.32% of the share capital of the Company and that entitled their holders to exercise 21.42% of the total number of votes at the general meeting of the Company for a total consideration of USD 149,999,996.
The settlement of the SBB took place on July 4, 2023 (the "Settlement Date") outside the organized system of trading in financial instruments through IPOPEMA Securities S.A. The acquisition was made at a gross price of USD 8.7607 per share. Amounts due to investors, after withholding of applicable taxes, have been converted from USD to PLN in accordance with the interbank exchange rate applicable as at July 3, 2023 (as the day preceding the Settlement Date), which is 4.0735.
The shares were acquired on the basis of the Company's Board of Directors resolution dated May 30, 2023 launching the acquisition of the Company's common shares listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange by way of a time-limited Invitation to Sell, establishing detailed conditions and procedures for participation in and execution of the SBB.
Prior to the SBB settlement, the Company owned 4,314,211 common shares that represented 5.12% of the Company's share capital and did not entitle the Company to voting rights. Following the settlement of the SBB, the Company owns a total of 21,436,130 shares that represent 25.44% of the Company's share capital and do not entitle the Company to voting rights. Consequently, following the settlement of the SBB, there are 84,246,697 shares of the Company outstanding and conferring 62,810,567 votes in total at the general meeting of the Company. The Company acquired the shares under the SBB with the intention that the shares will be retired, other than those shares necessary, in the Company's view, to satisfy its ongoing needs under the Company's employee stock option plans. Treatment of the acquired shares will be determined in due course by the Issuer's Board of Directors, in accordance with its Certificate of Incorporation.
On August 29, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors in accordance with Section 243 of the Delaware General Corporation law, adopted a resolution on the retirement of 17,121,919 shares of common stock of the Company representing 20.3% of the issued share capital of the Company comprising of 84,246,697 shares (as announced in current report no 37/2023). The retirement is effective as of the adoption of the resolution by the Board of Directors. The shares that were subject to the retirement were purchased by the Company during the share buyback (current report no. 25/2023 dated July 4, 2023) with the intention that the shares will be retired, other than those shares necessary, in the Company's view, to satisfy its ongoing needs under the Company's employee stock option plans.

Effective as of the adoption of the resolution of the Board of Directors, the retired shares resumed the status of authorized and unissued shares of the common shares of the Company. At the same time, the Company's issued share capital decreased from 84,246,697 to 67,124,778 shares.
Further, following a review, the Board of Directors concluded that such a high authorized capital is not necessary and therefore the Board of Directors decided that it will recommend that on the next Annual General Meeting the stockholders approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the authorized capital of the Company by 21,128,984 shares of common shares of the Company, as a result reducing the total number of the authorized shares from 113,881,420 to 92,752,436 where 67,124,778 will be the issued shares and 25,627,658 authorized and unissued shares. The authorized and unissued shares in the amount of 25,627,658 will be used, among others, for the Company's employee stock option plans.
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 the following transactions in common and preference shares took place:
On February 15, 2022, the Company decided to repurchase its common shares listed for trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The share buy-back started on March 29, 2022. The purpose of the Share Buyback Scheme was to satisfy the Group's needs related to the exercise of options under its Employee Stock Option Plans in the foreseeable future. On May 22, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution according to which the number of Company's shares capable of being repurchased by the Company under the SBB has been set to the 6,500,000 shares.
The common shares repurchased were presented in treasury shares line in the statement of financial position.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, 3,847,083 common shares were repurchased under SBB program. Payments made for the purchase of own shares in the amount of USD 16,133 thousand were recognized in Equity (Treasury shares).
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, 828,458 share options held by the employees under the share-based payment program were exercised, out of which for 684,981 options exercised treasury shares were delivered to employees before June 30, 2022 (the difference is due to cashless exercises and number of options exercised, but not delivered as of June 30, 2022).
The delivery of treasury shares was presented as a movement from treasury shares to common shares. The movement resulted in an increase in share capital in the amount of nominal value of the shares delivered, and difference between the value of treasury shares and the cash consideration received in the amount of USD 6,875 thousand was recognized in supplementary capital. At the same time, the movement decreased the number of shares (not issued) allocated for the existing share-based payment programs.
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, 23,046 shares were delivered to former owners of Double Star Oy based on the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, corrected by the First Amendment dated October 19, 2021. For details of the earn-out consideration, please see Note 12 Share-based payment arrangements. The movement resulted in an increase in share capital in the amount of nominal value of the shares delivered, and a decrease in supplementary capital in the amount of USD 311 thousand (amount reflects the value of treasury shares, since the shares were delivered with no cash consideration).
A detailed description regarding Company's equity share-based payment program, i.e., ESOP, and a fair value measurement of the employee share options, are presented in the Company's financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

* The weighted average exercise prices in the table above are prior to the modification that took place after June 30, 2022.
As at June 30, 2023, 504,498 share options were exercisable, with the weighted average exercise price of USD 3.56 per share. As at June 30, 2022, 2,670,991 share options were exercisable, with the weighted average exercise price of USD 3.30 per share.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, 1,340,340 options were exercised under the share-based payment program, out of which, 748,971 treasury shares were delivered (the difference of 591,369 options is due to cashless exercises). Cash payments received for the shares delivered to employees before June 30, 2023 amounted to USD 345 thousand.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, 828,458 options were exercised in total under the share-based payment program, out of which 684,981 treasury shares were delivered for 691,013 options exercised (the difference of 6,032 options is due to cashless exercises). For the remaining 137,445 options exercised during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the shares were pending delivery as of June 30, 2022. Cash payments received for the shares delivered to employees before June 30, 2022 amounted to USD 1,897 thousand, and for the shares that were pending delivery to employees as at June 30, 2022, cash payments amounted to USD 265 thousand.
Other than the share-based payment arrangements described above, as a result of the acquisition that took place on July 16, 2020, the Group accounted for the earn-out consideration payable in shares dependent on a performance condition and a continuing employment condition as a share-based payment for the sellers of Double Star Oy. On February 21, 2022, 23,046 treasury shares were delivered to the former owners of Double Star Oy as presented in Note 11 Share capital. As at June 30, 2023, it is not expected that additional shares, except for those delivered, would vest under earn-out consideration.

The effect of the fair value measurement of options granted to employees of the Company, i.e. total expense related to share-based payment arrangements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 amounted to USD 42 thousand (for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 - 384 USD thousand), including the reversal of costs for the options forfeited during the period. This expense includes Mr. Anton's Gauffin options and the options payable to a consultant under the advisory agreement in the total amount of USD 327 thousand (for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 - 265 USD thousand), which both are explained in detail further below. These costs were allocated to Research and development expenses and General and administrative expenses lines in the interim condensed statement of comprehensive income.
The effect of the fair value measurement of options granted to employees of the Company's subsidiaries during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 is reflected in the Company's assets as investment in subsidiaries in the amount of USD 928 thousand (USD 635 thousand during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022).
The remuneration of Mr. Anton Gauffin, holding the positions of the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for the period ending at the 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Company, consisted solely of 500,000 share options, out of which 75,000 had a vesting condition to provide the service continuously for about four years from the service commencement date and to meet 2021 EBITDA target. These options were forfeited in 2022 as the performance condition was not met. All options can be exercised at a price of PLN 50, i.e., the price of the Company's shares in the initial public offering.
The vesting conditions for the options are the following:
Similar to other share-based payments in the Group, for this program, staged vesting applies, i.e., each instalment has a different vesting period and is treated as a separate award with a different vesting period.
Based on the contract executed on September 27, 2021, beginning from January 3, 2022 until October 31, 2024, the advisor shall provide to the Company's CEO consulting services for the consideration payable in options, i.e., options to purchase 206,250 shares in total vesting on a straight-line basis during the period of the agreement. This is a transaction with a non-employee, and the Group measures the fair value of the services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted when the services are performed.
Tax settlements are subject to review and investigation by tax authorities, which are entitled to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. Tax regulations in the United States have been changing recently, which may lead to lack of their clarity and integrity. Furthermore, frequent contradictions in tax interpretations, both within government bodies and between companies and government bodies create uncertainties and conflicts.
Tax authorities may examine accounting records retrospectively: for 3 years in the United States (and up to 6 years in case of substantial errors). Consequently, the Company may be subject to additional tax liabilities, which may arise as a result of tax audits. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that there was no need to record any provisions for known and quantifiable risks in this regard as in their assessment there are no such uncertain tax positions for which it would be probable that the taxation authority will not accept the tax treatment applied by the Company.

Company operates in a highly regulated and litigious environment. Company has and may become involved in legal proceedings, including litigation, arbitration and other claims, and investigations, inspections, audits, claims, inquiries and similar actions. Legal proceedings, in general, can be expensive and disruptive. Some of these suits are class actions and/or involve parties seeking large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages, and may remain unresolved for several years.
Player use of our games is subject to our privacy policy and terms of service. If we fail to comply with our posted privacy policy, terms of service or similar agreements, or if we fail to comply with applicable privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations, this could result in litigation, proceedings or investigations against us by governmental authorities, players or others, which could result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation or goodwill, impact our financial condition and harm our business.
Company cannot predict with certainty the outcomes of any legal proceedings and other contingencies, and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial, regardless of the outcome. As a result, Company could from time to time incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid. In addition, as a result of the ongoing legal proceedings, Company may be subject to damages, civil fines, or other sanctions. Additionally, defending against these lawsuits and proceedings may involve significant expense and diversion of management's attention and resources
