The Draft Terms of Conversion was prepared by the Management Board on the basis of the provisions of Articles 557 and 558 of the CCC in connection with Article 21(1) of the Act on SE and Article 37 of the Regulation for the purposes of the planned Conversion.
The Company to be Converted is a Public Limited-Liability Company (a joint-stock company) under Polish law, operating under the business name CI Games Spółka Akcyjna, with its seat (registered office) in Warsaw (address: Rondo Ignacego Daszyńskiego 2B, 00-843 Warsaw, Poland), registered in the Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register (KRS) under KRS No. 0000282076, for which the registration files are kept by the Registry Court for the Capital City of Warsaw in Warsaw 13th Commercial Division of the National Court Register, having VAT UE (NIP) No. 1181595759 and REGON No. 017186320, with a share capital of PLN 1,829,430.15, fully paid up.
The Company to be Converted is a public (listed) company within the meaning of the provisions of the Act on Public Offering.
The Company intends to change its legal form and operate in the form of a European Company (SE), and consequently operate under the name CI Games SE. The seat (registered office) of the Converted Company will be in Warsaw, and its address details will not change. After the Conversion, the registration files of the Converted Company will continue to be kept by the Registry Court for the Capital City of Warsaw in Warsaw 13th Commercial Division of the National Court Register. The Converted Company will have EU VAT (NIP) No. 1181595759 and REGON No. 017186320, which as a result of the Conversion will not change. The share capital of the Converted Company will amount to PLN 1,829,430.15 after the Conversion and will be fully covered by the property of the Company to be Converted.

The Converted Company will be a public (listed) company within the meaning of the provisions of the Act on Public Offering.
The Conversion will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Article 552 et seq. of the CCC in connection with Article 21(1) of the Act on SE and Article 37 of the Regulation, i.e. as a transformation of an existing public limited-liability company (joint-stock company) into an SE. The transformation of an existing joint-stock company (i.e. CI Games, S.A.) into an SE (i.e. CI Games, SE) will not result in the dissolution of CI Games, S.A. or the creation of a new company. As a result of the Conversion, the Converted Company will retain its personal identity with the Company to be Converted, which means that after the Conversion there will be the same legal entity that will only change the national legal form (S.A.) to the legal form of European law (SE). As a result of the Conversion, CI Games, SE will be the subject of all rights and obligations (assets and liabilities) of CI Games, S.A. (upon the continuation principle). In particular, pursuant to Article 553 § 2 of the CCC in connection with Article 21(1) of the Act on SE, CI Games, SE will be the subject of all permits, concessions and relief that were granted to CI Games, S.A. before the Conversion, unless the act or decision on granting the permit, concession or relief provides otherwise.
Pursuant to Article 553 § 3 of the CCC in connection with Article 21(1) of the Act on SE, from the Date of Conversion, all shareholders of the Company to be Converted participating in the Conversion will become shareholders of the Converted Company. Shareholders of the Company to be Converted participating in the Conversion do not have to make any statements on taking up the shares of the Converted Company, because by virtue of the law they automatically become shareholders of the Converted Company on the Date of Conversion.
The Converted Company will conduct business activity in the current scope, but under the business name CI Games, SE.
Pursuant to Article 37(7) of the Regulation, the Conversion requires a resolution adopted by the General Meeting.
The General Meeting of the Company will be submitted for adoption of resolutions regarding the Conversion, including the approval of the Draft Terms of Conversion, determining the text of the Statutes of CI Games, SE (expressing consent to the wording of the Statutes of CI Games, SE) and appointing members of the Management Board. The minimum content of the resolution on the Conversion is specified in the provisions of Article 563 points 1-2 and 4-6 of the CCC in connection with Article 21(1) of the Act on SE. The resolution of the General Meeting regarding the Conversion will therefore specify at least the type of company into which the Company will be transformed, the amount of the share capital of the Converted Company, the names and surnames of the members of the Management Board and the consent of the shareholders to the wording of the Statutes of CI Games, SE.

The share capital of the Company to be Converted amounts to PLN 1,829,430.15 (in words: one million eight hundred twenty-nine thousand four hundred and thirty zlotys 15/100) and is divided into 182,943,015 ordinary bearer shares of series A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, with a nominal value of PLN 0.01 (in words: one grosz) each share.
The share capital of the Converted Company after the Conversion will amount to PLN 1,829,430.15 (in words: one million eight hundred twenty-nine thousand four hundred and thirty zlotys 15/100) and will be divided into 182,943,015 ordinary bearer shares of series A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, with a nominal value of PLN 0.01 (in words: one grosz) each share.
All shareholders of CI Games, S.A. on the Date of Conversion will automatically become shareholders of CI Games, SE, by virtue of the law. Shareholders will not have to make any statements about participation in the Converted Company. As a result of the Conversion, there will be no subjective changes in the composition of the shareholding structure of CI Games, S.A. and no acquisition of shares in CI Games, SE. The transformation will not affect the scope of shareholders' capital participation in the Company, i.e. the number of shares held by each shareholder. Thus, upon Conversion, each of the shareholders of CI Games, S.A. will have the same number of shares in CI Games, SE. This is due to the fact that the SE is a company of the same type as a joint-stock company (S.A.), i.e. a joint-stock capital company, but of a different variety, i.e. not a "domestic" joint-stock company, but a "European" joint-stock company. As a result of the Conversion, there will be no exchange of CI Games, S.A. shares for CI Games SE shares according to a certain parity, and the legal situation of shareholders will not change.
The shares of the Converted Company will be listed on the regulated market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange S.A. on the current terms.
The shares of the Converted Company will participate in the dividend on the current terms resulting from Polish law (i.e. from the provisions of the CCC).
The consequences of the Conversion for the Company's shareholders are presented in detail in the Management Board's report explaining and justifying the legal and economic aspects of the Conversion and indicating the implications for the shareholders and for the employees of the adoption of the form of an SE, the content of which is attached as Appendix No. 4 to the Draft Terms of Conversion.
The current Statutes of the Company has been drawn up in the form of a notarial deed of 22nd June 2021 before the notary Ewa Korycińska in Warsaw (Rep. A No. 256/2021). For the purposes of the Conversion, the Statutes of the Company will change, which results from the need to include the new legal form of the Converted Company in its content.
The proposed content of the Statutes of CI Games, SE constitutes Appendix No. 2 to the Draft Terms of Conversion. Consent to the proposed content of the Statutes of CI Games, SE should be expressed by the General Meeting of the Company, planned for the last week of January 2023.

It is planned to maintain in the Converted Company a two-tier system of internal structure of bodies within the meaning of Article 38 letter b) of the Regulation, i.e. including the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. It is planned to elect members of the Management Board as well as the Supervisory Board at the General Meeting of the Company, which is planned to be held in the last week of January 2023.

It is planned that after the Conversion, the composition of the Management Board of the Converted Company will not change. It is planned that after the Conversion, the Supervisory Board of the Converted Company will consist of at least five members.
It is not planned to grant special benefits to members of the bodies of the Converted Company or other persons participating in the Conversion.
It is not planned to grant any additional rights to the shareholders of the Converted Company.
Pursuant to Article 560 of the CCC in connection with Article 21(1) of the Act on SE, the Company will notify shareholders of its intention to adopt a resolution on the Conversion of the Company twice, in the manner provided for notifying shareholders, i.e. in a form of current reports and on the Company's website at www.cigames.com. The first notification shall be made no later than one month before the planned date of adoption by the General Meeting of the resolution on the Conversion, and the second at an interval of not less than two weeks from the date of the first notification.

Pursuant to Article 37(9) of the Regulation, the rights and obligations of the Company to be Converted on terms and conditions of employment arising from national law, practice and individual employment contracts or employment relationships and existing at the date of registration (i.e., the Date of Conversion) shall, by reason of such registration ne transferred to the SE. Therefore, the situation of the Company's employees after the Conversion will not change. Their employer will be, in place of CI Games, S.A., the Converted Company, i.e. CI Games, SE.
Implications of the Conversion for the Company's employees are presented in detail in the Management Board's report explaining and justifying the legal and economic aspects of the Conversion and indicating the implications for the shareholders and for the employees of the adoption of the form of an SE, the content of which is attached as Appendix No. 4 to the Draft Terms of Conversion.
