An invitation including a link to the event and detailed agenda will follow.

During 2022, Stillfront conducted its first reduction impact analysis which has resulted in an activity plan and framework for the group’s first near-term climate targets. By joining the SBTi, Stillfront will now seek to get its near-term emission reduction targets validated and approved by the SBTi – an ambition stated in the 2021 Annual Report.

Stillfront has created a solid data collection model for its decentralized organization, and has conducted yearly greenhouse gas emission disclosures since 2019. In our latest disclosures, scope 1 and 2 emissions made up 3 percent of the group’s total emissions. Stillfront’s largest climate footprint, totaling 97 percent, lies within scope 3, which contains Stillfront’s users’ emissions when playing the games, as well as emissions from digital marketing.

Stillfront will now focus on implementing sufficient actions to reduce emissions from our own operations as well as initiating projects related to reducing energy when gamers play our games.

“Our business in digital entertainment reches almost 70 million monthly active users. We are eager to work together with our gaming population to reduce emissions and future-proof our business”, says Jörgen Larsson, CEO & Founder, Stillfront Group.

The SBTi is a partnership between CDP (Climate Disclosure Project), the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Stillfront has utilized its two-year extension option of its revolving credit facility of SEK 3.75 billion with a new maturity date in December 2025. The extension is done at the same terms as the original facility signed in December 2020. With the extension, Stillfront ensures continued cost-effective financing and financial flexibility, while improving the maturity profile of its debt portfolio.

“We are pleased to have secured an extension of our revolving credit facility. The extension underlines the strong support for our strategy from our banking partners and further improves our maturity profile”, says Andreas Uddman, CFO.

The facility is supported by DNB Bank ASA, Sweden Branch; Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Sverige; and Swedbank AB (publ). Mannheimer Swartling has acted as legal advisor to Stillfront.

Stillfront’s subsidiary in India, Moonfrog Labs, which was acquired in February 2021, has business operations in Bangladesh through a company called Ulka Games. Ulka Games publishes localized adaptations of Moonfrog Labs’ games, primarily the game Teen Patti Gold.

Recently, Bangladeshi authorities have carried out a series of restrictive measures targeting different forms of online gaming activities. Currently the law enforcement agencies of Bangladesh are considering the use of virtual chips in online gaming as an act of illegal online gambling though no regulation in this regard has yet entered into force.

As part of the above-described measures taken by the Bangladeshi authorities, Stillfront was as per this week informed that a formal investigation relating to alleged online gambling activities has been initiated by the Bangladeshi authorities against some of the members of the management and representatives of Ulka Games, and certain officials of Ulka Games’ shareholders, including Stillfront.

As of now, no formal charges have been filed. Stillfront and its subsidiaries monitor the process closely together with local legal advisors. Ulka Games holds a formal license from the Bangladeshi authorities to offer the game Teen Patti Gold within the country. Further, none of the games provided by Ulka Games in Bangladesh allow for real money to be transferred out of the game.

Due to the measures now taken by Bangladeshi authorities including the new interpretation of what constitutes online gaming as opposed to online gambling under the laws of Bangladesh, Stillfront finds it unviable to conduct online gaming business in Bangladesh under these circumstances. Through its subsidiary Moonfrog Labs, Stillfront has therefore decided to evaluate a potential process to close Moonfrog Labs’ operations in Bangladesh.

The financial impact of a potential discontinuation of the operations in Bangladesh is non-material for the group. For the first nine months of 2022, Ulka Games generated approximately 1 percent of Stillfront Group’s total net revenues and 2 percent of the group’s total EBITDA.

Moonfrog Labs has shown solid growth since becoming part of Stillfront and a potential decision to close its operations in Bangladesh would have no impact on Moonfrog Labs’ business outside of Bangladesh.

Jörgen Larsson, CEO, and Andreas Uddman, CFO, will present the results and answer questions. The conference will be held in English.

The upfront purchase price, which has been paid to the sellers of 6waves on 31 January 2022, amounted to USD 201 million on a cash and debt free basis (the “Upfront Purchase Price”). Of the Upfront Purchase Price, approx. 8 percent was paid in 2,913,857 newly issued shares in Stillfront through a directed share issue to the sellers, and the remaining approx. 92 percent was paid in cash to the sellers.

The new share issue was resolved on 31 January 2022 by the board of directors of Stillfront by virtue of the authorization granted at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 4 October 2021. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption right is to enable Stillfront to fulfill its commitments made in connection with the acquisition of 6waves. The subscription price per share amounted to SEK 50.501 and corresponds to the volume weighted average price per share in Stillfront traded on Nasdaq Stockholm during the consecutive ten trading days up to and including 17 January 2022.[1]

Through the new issue of the shares, the share capital of Stillfront increases by SEK 203,969.99. The newly issued shares were subscribed and paid for by way of set-off of claims by the sellers on 31 January 2022. The issued shares shall entitle to dividend as from the first record day for dividend after such shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB. The new issue of the shares results in a dilution for the current shareholders in Stillfront of approx. 0.75 percent on a fully diluted basis (i.e. based on the total number of shares and votes outstanding after the share issue).

Operational founders and key employees in 6waves may in addition to the Upfront Purchase Price receive an earn-out of maximum 1.0x EBITDA of each of the financial years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, based on achieving certain operational targets, capped at a total of USD 100 million. The earn-out is payable 75 percent in cash and 25 percent in newly issued shares in Stillfront. The subscription price for newly issued shares paid as a part of the earn-out consideration (if any) will be based upon the volume weighted average price of the shares in Stillfront traded on Nasdaq Stockholm for a period of ten consecutive trading days up to and including the day before Stillfront’s announcement of financial results for the applicable earn-out period[2].

The new shares in Stillfront that today have been issued as payment of part of the Upfront Purchase Price, as well as any new shares issued as part of any earn-out payment, are and will be subject to customary transfer restrictions.

Operational sellers in 6waves only receiving cash consideration have received 75 percent of their portion of the Upfront Purchase Price, and will also receive 75 percent of any earn-out payment, on the respective due date and the remaining portion as a deferred consideration payable at the end of the transfer restriction period. The deferred portion of the Upfront Purchase Price is approximately USD 1 million. The operational founders and other key employees in 6waves will remain within 6waves and be part of the management of 6waves post-completion of the Transaction and are covered by the earn-out agreement between 2022-2025.

All other conditions for completion have now been fulfilled. 6waves will be consolidated into Stillfront’s consolidated financial reporting from 1 February 2022.

The total upfront purchase price, which has been paid to the sellers of Jawaker on the date hereof, amounted to USD 205 million, on a cash and debt free basis (the "Upfront Purchase Price"). Of the Upfront Purchase Price, 26 percent was paid in 8,540,092 newly issued shares in Stillfront through a directed share issue to the sellers (except for Media Zone Investments FZ LLC that received cash consideration only), and the remaining 74 percent of the Upfront Purchase Price was paid in cash to the sellers.

The new share issue was resolved on the date hereof by the board of directors of Stillfront based on the mandate granted by the Annual General Meeting held on 11 May 2021. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption right is to enable Stillfront to fulfill its commitments made in connection with the acquisition of Jawaker. The subscription price per share related to the Upfront Purchase Price amounts to 54.140 SEK and corresponds to the volume weighted average price per share in Stillfront traded on Nasdaq Stockholm during the twenty trading days up to and including September 6, 2021, converted into USD at the average exchange rate between SEK and USD of the Swedish Central Bank (Sw. Riksbanken) published at https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/ during the same period.

Through the new issue of the shares, the share capital of Stillfront will increase by SEK 597,806.44. The newly issued shares were subscribed and paid for by way of set-off of claims by the sellers on the date hereof. The issued shares shall be entitled to dividend as from the first record day for dividend after such shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB. Through the new issue of the shares in connection with the completion of the Transaction, the dilution for the current shareholders in Stillfront is approx. 2.2 percent on a fully diluted basis (i.e. based on the total number of registered shares and votes in Stillfront as per the date hereof (including new shares which have been registered in the period since the acquisition was announced on September 8, 2021) and the shares that have been issued in relation to the Transaction).

Certain sellers may receive an earn-out payment of up to USD 20 million payable in cash, if Jawaker reaches certain EBIT targets for 2021. The earn-out payment for 2021 will be zero for the midpoint of the expected EBIT range for 2021. In addition, certain sellers may receive additional earn-out payments of 1.0x EBIT of Jawaker for each of the financial years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The earn-out consideration for 2022-2026 is payable 70 percent in cash and 30 percent in newly issued shares in Stillfront. The subscription price for newly issued shares related to the earn-out purchase price (if any) will be based upon the volume weighted average price of the shares in Stillfront traded on Nasdaq Stockholm for a period of ten trading days up to and including the day before Stillfront's announcement of financial results for the applicable earn-out period converted into USD at the average exchange rate between SEK and USD of the Swedish Central Bank (Sw. Riksbanken) published at https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/ during the same period.

All other conditions for completion have now been fulfilled. Jawaker will be consolidated into Stillfront’s consolidated financial reporting from October 1, 2021.

Information to distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares in Stillfront have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment"). Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process in the United Kingdom, the target market assessment in respect of the shares in the Company has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for such shares is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of such shares to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate (the "UK Target Market Assessment" and, together with the EU Target Market Assessment, the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the shares in Stillfront may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in Stillfront offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares in Stillfront is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the share issue to the sellers of Jawaker.

For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II or UK MiFIR; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in Stillfront.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares in Stillfront and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The total upfront consideration, which has been paid to the sellers as of the date hereof, amounted to USD 32.5 million on a cash and debt free basis. Of the upfront consideration USD 9.75 million was paid by set-off by transfer of 981,813 newly issued shares in Stillfront through a directed share issue to the sellers of Game Labs, and the remining part of the upfront consideration was paid in cash. The consideration for the cash payment was financed by cash at hand and available credit facilities.

The new share issue was resolved on the date hereof by the board of directors of Stillfront based on the mandate granted at the extraordinary general meeting held on 17 December 2020. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption right is to allow that Stillfront will be able to fulfill its commitments made in connection with the acquisition of Game Labs. The subscription price per share related to the upfront consideration amounts to SEK 83.586 (determined through negotiations between the sellers and Stillfront) and corresponds to the volume weighted average price per share in Stillfront traded on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market during the ten trading days up to and including 6 May 2021 converted into USD at the average exchange rate between SEK and USD of the Swedish Central Bank (Sw. Riksbanken) published at https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/ during the same period.

Through the new share issue, Stillfronts share capital will increase by SEK 68,726.91. The issued shares shall be entitled to dividend as from the first record day for dividend after such shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB. Through the new issue of the shares in connection with the completion of the transaction, the dilution for the current shareholders in Stillfront is approx. 0.27 percent on a fully diluted basis (i.e. based on the total number of shares and votes registered in Stillfront after completion of the share issue in relation to the transaction).

In addition, the sellers may receive an earn-out payment for each of the financial years 2021, 2022 and 2023 depending on the EBIT development of Game Labs during each of those financial years, however not exceeding USD 30 million in aggregate. The earn-out consideration will be payable 70 percent in cash and 30 percent in newly issued shares in Stillfront to the sellers during the subsequent year of the respective earn-out period. The subscription price for newly issued shares related to the earn-out payments (if any) will be based upon the volume weighted average price of the shares in Stillfront traded on Nasdaq Firth North Premier Growth Market or such other market place on which Stillfront's shares are listed for a period of ten trading days prior to the date of Stillfront’s announcement of financial results for the applicable earn-out period converted into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rate between SEK and US Dollars of the Swedish Central Bank published at https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/ during the ten day period set forth above.

All conditions for closing have now been fulfilled. Game Labs will be consolidated into Stillfront’s consolidated financial reporting from May 2021.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II”); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the “MiFID II Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares in Stillfront have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the “Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the shares in Stillfront may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the shares in Stillfront offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the shares in Stillfront is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the share issue to the sellers of Sandbox.

For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the shares in Stillfront.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares in Stillfront and determining appropriate distribution channels.
