Given theplanned involvement of part of the Spokko team and assets in otherprojects carried out at CD PROJEKT RED, the Management Board of theCompany and Shareholders' Meeting of Spokko recommended taking steps tosimplify the organizational structure of the CD PROJEKT Group bycarrying out a merger between the Company and Spokko. This resulted inagreeing upon and signing the Merger Plan. The decisions are consistentwith the key assumptions of the CD PROJEKT Group strategy update (i.e.the Long-Term Strategic Growth Outlook of the CD PROJEKT Group, aspublished), according to which the Group intends to focus on its coreactivities and carry out mobile projects in collaboration with externalpartners.
According to the Merger Plan, the Merger will be effected bytransferring all assets of the Target Company to the Company inaccordance with Article 492 § 1 item 1 of the Commercial Companies Code(merger by acquisition) in connection with Article 516 § 6 of theCommercial Companies Code.

The Merger willbecome effective on the date of its entry into the register. This entrywill have the effect of deleting the Target Company from the register.As a result of the Merger, the Company will, as of the date of theMerger, enter into the rights and obligations of the Target Company.
