Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the timing and size of the tender offer. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Further, statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “present,” “preserve,” “project,” “pursue,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include without limitation:

Playtika’s reliance on a limited number of games to generate the majority of its revenue;

 

 

Playtika’s reliance on a small percentage of total users to generate a majority of its revenue;

 

 

Playtika’s free-to-play business model, and the value of virtual items sold in Playtika’s games, is highly dependent on how Playtika manages the game revenues and pricing models;

 

 

Playtika’s inability to complete acquisitions and integrate any acquired businesses successfully could limit its growth or disrupt its plans and operations;

 

 

Playtika may be unable to successfully develop new games;

 

 

Playtika’s ability to compete in a highly competitive industry with low barriers to entry;

 

 

Playtika has significant indebtedness and is subject to the obligations and restrictive covenants under its debt instruments;

 

 

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Playtika’s business and the economy as a whole;

 

 

the impact of an economic recession or periods of increased inflation, and any reductions to household spending on the types of discretionary entertainment that Playtika offers;

 

 

Playtika’s controlled company status;

 

 

changes in the financial situation or liquidity requirements of, or regulatory rules or requirements applicable to, Playtika’s controlling stockholder group;


 

the number of Shares that the Giant/Alpha Group will tender;

 

 

legal or regulatory restrictions or proceedings could adversely impact Playtika’s business and limit the growth of Playtika’s operations;

 

 

risks related to Playtika’s international operations and ownership, including Playtika’s significant operations in Israel, Ukraine and Belarus and the fact that Playtika’s controlling stockholder group includes a Chinese-owned company;

 

 

Playtika’s reliance on key personnel;

 

 

security breaches or other disruptions could compromise Playtika’s information or its players’ information and expose Playtika to liability; and

 

 

Playtika’s inability to protect its intellectual property and proprietary information could adversely impact Playtika’s business.

Additional factors that may cause future events and actual results, financial or otherwise, to differ, potentially materially, from those discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties discussed in Playtika’s filings with the SEC. Although Playtika believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, Playtika cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, Playtika undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in Playtika’s expectations.
