Background and reason for the Offering

Next Games has successfully renewed its operations during this year by stabilising its business operations and rebuilding the product development pipeline. The third and final phase of the turnaround project is to secure additional funding, which is why the Board of Directors has decided to carry out the Offering.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used to strengthen the balance sheet of the Company and according to the Company’s strategy, enable future investments such as product development and marketing of new products as well as be used for license payments and other general corporate purposes. The Offering will also enable the Company to expand its shareholder base and increase the liquidity of its share.

Terms and conditions of the Offering

A shareholder who is registered in the Company's shareholders' register on the Record Date 27 September 2019 of the Offering will automatically receive one (1) freely transferable Subscription Right for every one (1) existing share owned on the Record Date. Every two (2) Subscription Rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) Offer Share at the Subscription price (the “Primary Subscription Right”). Fractions of Offer Shares cannot be subscribed for. Shareholders or other investors are entitled without Subscription Rights to subscribe for Offer Shares that have not been subscribed with Primary Subscription Right (“Secondary Subscription”). Subscriptions for Offer Shares are binding and irrevocable and cannot be altered or cancelled.

As a result of the Offering, the total number of shares in the Company may increase from 18,610,270 shares to a maximum of 27,908,700 shares. If the Offering is fully subscribed for, the Offer Shares will correspond to approximately 50% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares prior to the Offering.

The Subscription Price is EUR 0.86 per Offer Share.

Subscription Period commences on 2 October 2019 at 9.30 a.m. Finnish time and expires on 16 October 2019 at 4.30 p.m. Finnish time. Holders of Subscription Rights may sell their Subscription Rights at any time prior to the end of trading in the Subscription Rights. The Subscription Rights are subject to trading on First North from 2 October 2019 at 10.00 a.m. Finnish time to 10 October 2019 at 6.25 p.m. Finnish time. Any unexercised Subscription Rights will expire without any compensation at the end of the Subscription Period at 4.30 p.m. Finnish time on 16 October 2019.

The Company’s Board of Directors will approve all subscriptions made pursuant to the Primary Subscription Right and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offering. In the event not all the Offer Shares in the Offering have been subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Primary Subscription Right, the Company’s Board of Directors will allocate unsubscribed Offer Shares first to those shareholders and other investors who have made a Secondary Subscription and also subscribed for Offer Shares on the basis of Subscription Rights, second to those shareholders and other investors who have made a Secondary Subscription but have not subscribed for any Offer Shares on the basis of Subscription Rights and third to the parties that gave subscription commitments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offering.

The interim shares will become subject to trading on or about from 17 October 2019. The interim shares will be combined with the Company’s existing shares on or about 23 October 2019. The Offer Shares subscribed for and approved in the Secondary Subscription will be entered into the book-entry accounts of the subscribers on or about 23 October 2019, after the registration of the Offer Shares with the Trade Register on or about 22 October 2019.

The Company will publish the final results of the Offering in a company release on or about 22 October 2019.
