MTG to transfer shares to PlaySimple's founders by the end of January 2026 and reduce holding of own shares and votes below 5%
MTG's board of directors has today resolved on the conversion of 6,194,343 class C shares held in treasury into class B shares. Through the conversion, the number of class B shares increases from 116,723,136 to 122,917,479. Following such conversion and prior to the allotment to the founders of PlaySimple, MTG holds a total of 7,575,343 class B shares in treasury (including shares bought back by MTG pursuant to the authorisation from the 2025 Annual General Meeting).
The transfer to the founders of PlaySimple is expected to be completed during January 2026. After the transfer, MTG's holding of own shares and votes will be less than 5% of the total amount of shares and votes in MTG, i.e. the relevant threshold pursuant to Chapter 4, Section 18 of the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act (1991:980). Based on the amount of shares held in treasury by MTG as of today (i.e., excluding any further buybacks prior to the transfer to the founders of PlaySimple being effected), MTG will hold a total of 1,381,000 class B shares in treasury after the transfer which corresponds to 1.12% of the total number of shares and 1.09% of the total number of votes. The total number of shares in MTG, including treasury shares, amounts to 123,309,285, corresponding to 126,835,539 votes. The total number of shares is divided into 391,806 A shares and 122,917,479 B shares.
