Chair’s Address to Shareholders

29 November 2023

Dear Shareholders

On behalf of your Board of Directors, I would like to share with you the performance of our business during the past year and provide some commentary on the way forward for shareholders.

I want to make it clear that I joined the Company before its IPO because I had a strong belief in its team, its creative storytelling ability, and its potential in the growing global games market. It’s certainly been a challenging period and I absolutely take responsibility for the past unsustainable cash burn of the business. We had an aggressive growth plan and made several investment decisions in an attempt to accelerate revenue.

As I highlighted in last year’s AGM, from August 2022, the Company commenced a restructure of the entire business with a focus on sustainability. This process also led to a strategic investment from cornerstone investor Shane Yeend via Gamestar+ and the appointment of three new Non-Executive Directors to support and drive new opportunities and change management.

It was anticipated that Mighty Kingdom had a much stronger and more sustainable future with a strategic investment from a company that could deliver new contracts directly with owners of intellectual property.

However, this relationship with Gamestar+ did not deliver either the industry expertise or the total payment agreed for those shares. Once it became apparent that Gamestar+ did not have the available funds to settle, a position confirmed by Mr Yeend to multiple parties, we had no choice but to terminate the share subscription agreement. The Board shares your disappointment at this outcome. I am confident that we did all we could to finalise the Gamestar+ investment. The Company is committed to pursue Gamestar+’s unpaid capital contributions on your behalf.

  • Over the last 12 months, in spite of the failure of Gamestar+ to complete the transaction, our key operations have seen a huge turnaround in fortunes. Your Interim CEO, Simon Rabbitt and the leadership team, have delivered a comprehensive restructuring process. This has turned our financial performance around from a $6.9m loss in the first half to a $1.7m loss in the second half of the year with further improvements anticipated.

Your management team delivered these huge improvements in a far tighter capital environment than anticipated, with our developer team focused on prioritising revenue generating projects and I wish to thank them and the entire Mighty Kingdom team for such a great result in the circumstances.

The need for a strategic partner, remains however and to this end we have commenced a strategic review of the business. Should Gamestar+ or Mr Yeend put another proposal on the table, your Board is obligated to consider that as part of its strategic review

We do note though that, contrary to assertions made by Mr Yeend in his CEO update to Gamestar+ shareholders last week, Mighty Kingdom is not in any discussions with Gamestar+ regarding a merger or change of control transaction nor has it ever been in the past.

The Board is working diligently to finalise a recommended outcome from the strategic review, with a view to ensuring shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on whether they prefer this path or any other propositions brought to the table. As your Board, we will deal only in facts, not vague promises.

At the Board level, we have said goodbye to non-executive directors Gabriele Famous, Megan Brownlow and Melanie Fletcher. We thank them for their significant contributions to the Company and we wish them well in their future.

If I am supported by shareholders to continue as a Director at this AGM, I will step down as Chair and a Director of the Company once the strategic review delivers an outcome acceptable to shareholders. In any event, I commit to resigning by the end of March 2024 at the latest.

It has been an incredibly challenging few years and I thank you all for your patience and support over this period. I look forward to seeing Mighty Kingdom continue its journey to become the global games industry success story that led me to join the team.

Michelle Guthrie
