Schedule to Resolution No. 4/08/2023 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of PCF Group S.A. of August 7th, 2023

OPINION OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD OF PCF GROUP S.A.

of 10 July 2023

regarding: the substantiation of the full exclusion of current shareholders' preemptive rights to all series G shares in connection with the planned share capital increase by way of issuance of series G shares, and the manner of determining the issue price or the issue prices of series G shares

Pursuant to Article 433 § 2 of the Commercial Companies Code (the "Commercial Companies Code"), the Management Board of PCF Group S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw (the "Company") prepared this opinion on 10 July 2023 in connection with the intended adoption by the Extraordinary General Meeting, convened for 7 August 2023, of Resolution No. 4/08/2023 regarding an increase of the Company's share capital through the issue of ordinary series G shares (the "New Shares"), the exclusion of all the preemptive rights of its current shareholders in relation to all the New Shares, the seeking of the admission and introduction of the New Shares and the rights to New Shares to trading on a regulated market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the dematerialization of New Shares and the rights to New Shares and the authorization to execute an agreement on the registration of the New Shares and the rights to New Shares in the depository of securities, and on amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company (the "Issue Resolution").

Exclusion of all preemptive rights to the New Shares

In the opinion of the Company's Management Board, due to the reasons described below, excluding the current shareholders' preemptive rights entirely with respect to the New Shares is aligned with the Company's interests and contributes to pursuing the Company's strategic goals.

On 31 January 2023 the Management Board adopted an update to the development strategy of the Company and the People Can Fly Group (the "Strategy"). The key assumptions of the updated Strategy include: (i) strengthening the self-publishing business unit; (ii) developing games in self-publishing portfolio using the Game-as-a-Service (GaaS) model (or the GaaS-ready model); (iii) implementation of a variety of monetization models of the games published by the group; (iv) increasing the size of production teams and developing talent; and (v) investing in new segments of the entertainment industry.

Implementation of the Company's strategic goals listed above requires adequate financing. For this reason, the Management Board decided to raise share capital on the capital market. As a result of the public offering of the Company's shares carried out in the period from 29 May 2023 to 9 June 2023, based on Resolution No. 4/02/2023 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company of 28 February 2023, the Company acquired approximately PLN 134.4 million compared to the amount assumed by the Company ranging from approximately PLN 205 million to approximately PLN 295 million, and placed on the market approximately 57.1% of the issue. The funds obtained from the issue of series F shares of the Company will be used to finance the implementation of the updated Strategy and constitute an important supplement to the funds generated from the current operations of the group. However, the obtained funds are in the

amount lower than the amount planned to be obtained by the Company in the process of the secondary public offering of the Company's shares, and do not meet the capital needs of the Company related to the implementation of the updated Strategy.

Considering the above and in connection with the Management Board's upholding the intention to continue the Strategy in the form adopted in January 2023, the Management Board decided to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company in order to adopt a resolution on the issue of up to 2,510,904 (two million five hundred ten thousand nine hundred four) of the New Shares, being the difference between the maximum number of 5,853,941 series F shares offered by the Management Board as part of the secondary public offering of the Company's shares completed in June 2023, and the actual number of 3,343,037 series F shares that were taken up as part of the public offering of the Company's shares.

In the opinion of the Management Board, the increase of the Company's share capital through the issuance of the New Shares with full exclusion of pre-emptive rights of all existing shareholders of the Company and the offering of New Shares under the terms of the Issue Resolution will be a second stage of financing of the updated Strategy as announced at the end of January 2023.

The new draft Issue Resolution provides for the issue of up to 2,510,904 (two million five hundred ten thousand nine hundred four) New Shares. Increasing the Company's share capital through the issuance of New Shares with full exclusion of subscription rights of all existing shareholders of the Company may provide the Company with an opportunity to raise the additional financing in the amount expected by the Company of at least of PLN 100.9 million as soon as possible (subject to the market situation and restrictions under applicable laws). The final amount of net proceeds from the issuance of the New Shares will depend on the final number of New Shares, the final issue price or issue prices of the New Shares and the total amount of issuance costs incurred by the Company.

Same as with respect to series F shares, the Management Board intends to use all of the proceeds from the issuance of New Shares for increasing the size of the production teams to appropriate production levels for Projects Dagger, Bifrost and Victoria. The proceeds from the issuance of the shares together with (i) the proceeds from the issuance of series F shares, (ii) the Company's own cash, (iii) funds from operations generated by the Company, and (iv) other available sources of financing that do not result in dilution of shareholder interests, will allow the Group to fully implement its strategy.

Pursuant to draft Issue Resolution, the Management Board is required to offer New Shares only to the investors that have received an invitation from the investment firm conducting the process intended to solicit prospective subscribers for New Shares (including in particular the book building process for the New Shares) to participate in the offering and meet the following conditions: (i) they are qualified investors within the meaning of Article 1(4)(a) of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC ("Prospectus Regulation"); or (ii) they take up securities for a total consideration of at least EUR 100,000 per investor as referred to in Article 1.4(d) of the Prospectus Regulation, including the investors who: (a) are shareholders of the Company as of the end of the day of adoption of this Resolution (the "Preference Date") holding shares in the Company giving the right to no less than 0.25% (zero pint twentyfive percent) of the total number of votes at the General Meeting of the Company; and (b) will confirm the fact that as of the end of day on the Preference Date they hold shares in the Company giving the right to no less than 0.25% (zero pint twenty-five percent) of the total number of votes at the General Meeting of the Company during the process intended to solicit prospective subscribers for New Shares (including in particular the book building process for the New Shares), by submitting a certificate or certificates confirming their ownership of the shares in the Company and their number, issued by the investment company maintaining the securities account of the relevant party ("Eligible Investors").

Subject to the exemptions indicated in the Issue Resolution, each Eligible Investor who in the process intended to solicit prospective subscribers for New Shares (including in particular the book building process for the New Shares) submits a declaration or declarations to subscribe for New Shares at a price not lower than the issue price of New Shares specified by the Management Board pursuant to the Issue Resolution, is entitled to take up, on a priority basis, a number of New Shares not less than the number of New Shares which, after the New Shares have been issued, will enable such Eligible Investor to maintain a share in the total number of votes at the General Meeting of the Company not less than the share in the total number of votes at the General Meeting of the Company held by such Eligible Investor at the end of day on the Preference Date, provided that if the number of New Shares so determined is not a whole integer, it will be rounded down to the nearest integer (the "Preference Right"). The Management Board will be entitled to offer New Shares which have not been allocated to the Eligible Investors in accordance with the above rules to other entities entitled to participate in the offering of New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in the Issue Resolution as to maximize the value of the proceeds from the issuance of the New Shares.

The public offering of New Shares will not be conducted in any territory other than Poland. New Shares may only be offered and sold outside the territory of the United States of America in offshore transactions as defined in and pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended and/or under other exemption(s) from registration requirements in the United States of America or other relevant jurisdiction(s).

The proposed issue of the New Shares with the preemptive rights excluded on the terms and conditions set out in the draft Issue Resolution is a faster and more efficient way to obtain additional capital than an alternative capital increase process with exercisable preemptive rights, particularly in light of current stock market sentiment, while associated with this form would be the need to prepare and approve a mandatory prospectus, which according to market practice could take up to 4-6 months, in the absence of obvious advantages of implementing such a scenario.

Considering the above, the Management Board concludes that the issue of the New Shares excluding the preemptive rights of all existing shareholders of the Company is in the best interest of the Company. Therefore, the Management Board gives its favorable opinion on the issuance of the New Shares with exclusion of preemptive rights of the existing shareholders of the Company.

Manner of determining the issue price or the issue prices of the New Shares

Pursuant to the Issue Resolution, the issue price or the issue prices of the New Shares may be differentiated with respect to individual entities that take up the New Shares, in order to maximize the value of the proceeds from their issuance and will be determined through the Company's demand analysis for the New Shares based on a process intended to solicit prospective subscribers for the New Shares (including in particular the book building process for the New Shares) as to maximize the value of the proceeds from the issuance of the New Shares. In the book-building process, investors will submit demand declarations based on two parameters: the number of shares demanded and the share price. Based on the compilation of such declarations, the Company will obtain information on the market valuation of New Shares, which will allow the Management Board to set the issue price or the issue prices of New Shares. If the Management Board becomes convinced that the book building process will not provide the Company with the optimal level of proceeds from the issuance of the New Shares, the Management Board will be entitled to solicit prospective subscribers for the New Shares through another process (including a hybrid process combining elements of the book building process and other processes) in order for the Management Board to set the issue price or issue prices of the New Shares at a level that will ensure that the Company maximizes the value of the proceeds from the issuance of the New Shares.

Given the volatility in the capital markets and the period of time that elapses between the date on which the Extraordinary General Meeting adopts the Issue Resolution and the date on which the issue price or the issue prices of the New Shares are determined, granting the Company's Management Board authorization in this regard is justified and in the Company's interest. The method of determining the issue price or the issue prices of the New Shares described above allows the price(s) to be determined taking into account the volume and quality of demand for the Company's offered shares, which will be analyzed after the completion of the process intended to solicit prospective subscribers for the New Shares (including in particular the book building process for the New Shares) as to maximize the value of the proceeds from the issuance of the New Shares.

Conclusions

In view of the premises set out above, the Management Board of the Company recommends that the Extraordinary General Meeting adopts the Issue Resolution.

In the open vote on the resolution, 28,842,028 valid votes were cast from 28,842,028 shares representing 86.2775176090% of share capital, of which 28,838,521 votes "for", 0 votes "against" and 3,507 votes "abstained".
