Dividends
Dividend policy
One of the basic tasks of the Company’s capital resources management policy is to pay out dividends to shareholders in a predictable manner. Therefore, on 29 July 2020 the Company Management Board adopted a dividend policy that assumes the submission to the General Meeting of a proposal to pay out dividends, together with a Management Board recommendation, subject to the general rules below.
With regard to profit generated for the financial year 2020 and subsequent financial years, the Management Board plans to recommend paying out dividends at a level of 10% to 20% of net profit.
When definitively determining the value of dividends that will be recommended to the General Meeting, the Management Board will take into account in particular the prospects of the Group, future expected profits, the Group’s financial position and development plans, as well as the applicable legal regulations.
The Management Board does not guarantee or ensure in any way the amount of the profit achieved by the Company or parts thereof that may be allocated to paying out dividends. The decision to pay out dividends and the amount of the paid out dividends depend each time on the shareholders’ decision taken as part of an ordinary General Meeting, where the shareholders are not bound in any way by the Management Board’s recommendation.
The dividend policy is subject to periodic review by the Company Management Board.
All Company shares have equal rights to dividends (as well as advances against dividends) and entitle the holders to a share in the Company’s profits as at the day they are acquired, on condition that the General Meeting adopts a resolution on distribution of profits (or, respectively, in the case of an advance against dividends, resolutions of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board) and establishes the day of pay out of the dividends as a date falling after the date of acquisition of the shares.

Representation regarding the diversity policy
The Company has not yet developed a formal diversity policy. The Company employs persons with adequate qualifications and professional expertise, with no regard to age or gender. In selecting candidates for the supervisory and managing bodies the competent authorities are driven by the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and take into account the qualification, skills and expertise of the candidates. Due to the specificities of the Company’s business activity, its size and the need to attract employees equipped with specialized knowledge, the decisive criteria for the Company in selecting the employees are solely the qualifications and professional expertise, disregarding any non-substantive attributes, such as age or gender. The members of the Company’s authorities and its officers are selected in such way as will ensure that they have adequate educational background, qualifications and expertise in order to let the Company benefit from these strengths in all areas of the Company’s activities. At the same time, due to the Company’s dynamic growth, the Company believes that imposing a formalized diversity policy might adversely affect the Company’s ability to solicit the persons who have the skills and abilities required by Company at the particular moment of its development.

Dividends
Dividend policy
One of the basic tasks of the Company’s capital resources management policy is to pay out dividends to shareholders in a predictable manner. Therefore, on 29 July 2020 the Company Management Board adopted a dividend policy that assumes the submission to the General Meeting of a proposal to pay out dividends, together with a Management Board recommendation, subject to the general rules below.
With regard to profit generated for the financial year 2020 and subsequent financial years, the Management Board plans to recommend paying out dividends at a level of 10% to 20% of net profit.
When definitively determining the value of dividends that will be recommended to the General Meeting, the Management Board will take into account in particular the prospects of the Group, future expected profits, the Group’s financial position and development plans, as well as the applicable legal regulations.
The Management Board does not guarantee or ensure in any way the amount of the profit achieved by the Company or parts thereof that may be allocated to paying out dividends. The decision to pay out dividends and the amount of the paid out dividends depend each time on the shareholders’ decision taken as part of an ordinary General Meeting, where the shareholders are not bound in any way by the Management Board’s recommendation.
The dividend policy is subject to periodic review by the Company Management Board.
All Company shares have equal rights to dividends (as well as advances against dividends) and entitle the holders to a share in the Company’s profits as at the day they are acquired, on condition that the General Meeting adopts a resolution on distribution of profits (or, respectively, in the case of an advance against dividends, resolutions of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board) and establishes the day of pay out of the dividends as a date falling after the date of acquisition of the shares.

Representation regarding the diversity policy
The Company has not yet developed a formal diversity policy. The Company employs persons with adequate qualifications and professional expertise, with no regard to age or gender. In selecting candidates for the supervisory and managing bodies the competent authorities are driven by the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and take into account the qualification, skills and expertise of the candidates. Due to the specificities of the Company’s business activity, its size and the need to attract employees equipped with specialized knowledge, the decisive criteria for the Company in selecting the employees are solely the qualifications and professional expertise, disregarding any non-substantive attributes, such as age or gender. The members of the Company’s authorities and its officers are selected in such way as will ensure that they have adequate educational background, qualifications and expertise in order to let the Company benefit from these strengths in all areas of the Company’s activities. At the same time, due to the Company’s dynamic growth, the Company believes that imposing a formalized diversity policy might adversely affect the Company’s ability to solicit the persons who have the skills and abilities required by Company at the particular moment of its development.

Furthermore, in the course of its eight-years long partnership with the global game developer and publisher Epic Games, People Can Fly has cooperated on the development of such titles as: Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, Unreal Tournament, Spyjinx and Fortnite.
PCF Group S.A. is currently working on 8 projects: Gemini, a new AAA game developed in partnership with global publisher Square Enix; Maverick in collaboration with Microsoft; projects Dagger, Bifrost and Victoria to be released in the self-publishing model; one project in the concept phase – Red; as well as two projects in VR technology – Green Hell VR and Bulletstorm VR – a game based on the IP from the Group’s portfolio.
In 2020 People Can Fly was awarded the “Forbes Diamonds” title – it is the Forbes magazine annual ranking of the fastest growing companies.

Dividends
Dividend policy
One of the basic tasks of the Company’s capital resources management policy is to pay out dividends to shareholders in a predictable manner. Therefore, on 29 July 2020 the Company Management Board adopted a dividend policy that assumes the submission to the General Meeting of a proposal to pay out dividends, together with a Management Board recommendation, subject to the general rules below.
In accordance with the aforementioned, with regard to profit generated for the financial year 2020 and subsequent financial years, the Management Board planned to recommend paying out dividends at a level of 10% to 20% of net profit. When definitively determining the value of dividends to be recommended to the General Meeting, the Management Board took into account in particular the prospects of the Group, future expected profits, the Group’s financial position and development plans, as well as the applicable legal regulations.
In connection with the update of the Group’s development strategy announced on 31 January 2023, the Management Board reviewed the Company’s dividend policy and decided not to recommend to the Company’s General Meeting a payment of dividends until the Company achieves revenues, profits and positive income cash flows from planned self-publishing activities, i.e. no earlier than in relation to the profits generated for the financial year 2025.
The Management Board does not guarantee or ensure in any way the amount of the profit achieved by the Company or parts thereof that could be allocated to paying out dividends. The decision to pay out dividends and the amount of the paid out dividends will depend each time on the shareholders’ decision taken as part of an ordinary General Meeting, where the shareholders are not bound in any way by the Management Board’s recommendation.
All Company shares have equal rights to dividends (as well as advances against dividends) and entitle the holders to a share in the Company’s profits as at the day they are acquired, on condition that the General Meeting adopts a resolution on distribution of profits (or, respectively, in the case of an advance against dividends, resolutions of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board) and establishes the day of pay out of the dividends as a date falling after the date of acquisition of the shares.

Representation regarding the diversity policy
The Company has not yet developed a formal diversity policy. The Company employs persons with adequate qualifications and professional expertise, with no regard to age or gender. In selecting candidates for the supervisory and managing bodies the competent authorities are driven by the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and take into account the qualification, skills and expertise of the candidates. Due to the specificities of the Company’s business activity, its size and the need to attract employees equipped with specialized knowledge, the decisive criteria for the Company in selecting the employees are solely the qualifications and professional expertise, disregarding any non-substantive attributes, such as age or gender. The members of the Company’s authorities and its officers are selected in such way as will ensure that they have adequate educational background, qualifications and expertise in order to let the Company benefit from these strengths in all areas of the Company’s activities. At the same time, due to the Company’s dynamic growth, the Company believes that imposing a formalized diversity policy might adversely affect the Company’s ability to solicit the persons who have the skills and abilities required by Company at the particular moment of its development.
