Background

On 17 December 2020, the company announced that the board of directors had resolved on an issue of class B shares with preferential rights of approximately SEK 2,500 million, subject to approval by the extraordinary general meeting. The purpose of the rights issue is to repay the bridge loan facility incurred in connection with the company’s acquisition of Hutch Games Ltd. and to repay the vendor note incurred in connection with the acquisition of the additional 17 per cent of the shares in InnoGames GmbH. For more information, please see the press release regarding the rights issue on the company’s website, www.mtg.com.

Proposal

The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors’ resolution on 17 December 2020 to issue class B shares with preferential rights for the company’s shareholders on the following terms and conditions.

Authorisation for the board to determine the final terms

The board of directors, or any board member appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorised to, no later than on 18 January 2021, resolve on the highest amount by which the company’s share capital shall be increased, the highest number of class B shares which shall be issued and the amount to be paid for each new class B share.

Subscription rights

The right to subscribe for the new class B shares shall rest with those who are registered as shareholders of the company on the record date (irrespective of which class of shares held) in proportion to the number of shares held on the record date.

Should all new class B shares not be subscribed for with subscription rights, the board of directors shall resolve on the allotment of class B shares subscribed for without subscription rights in accordance with the following:

• Firstly, the new class B shares shall be allotted to those that have applied for subscription with subscription rights, regardless if they were shareholders on the record date on 25 January 2021 or not, in proportion to the number of subscription rights each such person exercised for subscription for class B shares, and where this is not possible, by drawing of lots.
• Secondly, the new class B shares shall be allotted to others that have applied for subscription without subscription rights and, in case of oversubscription, in proportion to the number of class B shares that each such person has applied to subscribe for, and where this is not possible, by drawing of lots.
• Thirdly, the new class B shares shall be allotted to any potential parties that have provided additional subscription commitments, if any, pursuant to specific agreements with the company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such potential agreements.
• Ultimately, the new class B shares shall be allotted to potential underwriters, if any, that have entered into underwriting agreements with the company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such potential agreements.

Subscription period and payment

Subscription for new class B shares with subscription rights shall be made by payment in cash during the period 27 January–10 February 2021.

Subscription for new class B shares without subscription rights shall be made on a separate subscription list during the period 27 January–10 February 2021. Payment for class B shares subscribed for without subscription rights shall be made not later than two banking days from the date of the issue of the contract note stating the allotment of shares.

The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period and postpone the date for payment.

Authorisation to make minor amendments

The board of directors, or any person appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments of the resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 8: Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on issue of class B shares

The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors to, on one or several occasions up until the next annual general meeting, resolve upon the issue of class B shares representing, in aggregate, not more than 10.0 per cent of the total number of shares in the company at the time when the board of directors exercises the authorisation for the first time.

Any new issue of class B shares shall be made on market terms and conditions. Payment may be made in cash, in kind or through set-off.

New issues of shares may be effected with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. However, no single investor shall have the right to subscribe for shares representing more than 5.0 per cent of the total number of shares in the company.

The purpose of the authorisation is, and the reason for any deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights shall be, to enable the company to pursue potential acquisition opportunities as they arise and in line with its strategy, including to raise capital on an accelerated basis for such purposes.

Item 9: Resolution on issue of class B shares to certain sellers of Hutch Games with payment by way of set-off

Background

On 8 December 2020, the company announced that it had acquired Hutch Games Ltd. (“Hutch”). The company has agreed to pay part of the consideration for Hutch by issuing class B shares to certain of the sellers of Hutch (including employees of Hutch), subject to the extraordinary general meeting resolving on such an issue of shares.

In connection with the acquisition of Hutch, a subsidiary of the company issued a vendor loan note in an amount of approximately USD 9.7 million (the “VLN”), which subsequently has been transferred to the company and thereby constitutes a debt obligation of the company. The VLN is to be set off as payment of the new class B shares. In the event that the general meeting does not resolve on an issue of class B shares in accordance with this item 9, the VLN will be repaid by the company in cash.

Proposal

The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves on an issue of class B shares on the following terms.

Increase in share capital and number of shares

The company’s share capital shall be increased by a maximum of SEK 3,137,155 by way of a new issue of not more than 627,431 class B shares.

Subscription rights

The right to subscribe for the new class B shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, rest with the following holders of the VLN:

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to enable a set-off of the VLN against new class B shares in the company in accordance with the agreement regarding the acquisition of Hutch.

Subscription period, payment and subscription price

Subscription for new class B shares with shall be made on a separate subscription list not later than 31 March 2021. Payment for subscribed class B shares shall be made by way of set-off against each subscriber’s part of the VLN in connection with the subscription.

The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period and postpone the date for payment.

In aggregate, SEK 81,442,288 will be paid for 627,431 class B shares, which implies a subscription price for the new class B shares of SEK 129.80 per class B share. The subscription price was determined pursuant to the agreement for the acquisition of Hutch and corresponds to the volume-weighted average price of the company’s class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period of 10 November–7 December 2020.

Right to dividend

The new class B shares shall entitle the holder to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividends that occurs after the registration of the shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Authorisation to make minor amendments

The board of directors, or any person appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments of the resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 10: Resolution on approval of issue of new shares in MTG Esports Holding AB with payment in kind

Background

The company intends to consolidate its holding of certain esports assets into a new indirectly wholly-owned Swedish holding company, Kommstart 3108 AB (to be changed to MTG Esports Holding AB, the “New Esports HoldCo”).

ESL Gaming GmbH (“ESL Gaming”) is a subsidiary of the company which, following an internal group restructuring in December 2020, holds¸ inter alia, all shares in Dreamhack AB. MTGx eSports Holding AB, another subsidiary of the company, owns 91.46 per cent of all shares in ESL Gaming. The remaining 8.54 per cent of the shares in ESL Gaming are held by, inter alia, certain current and former employees of direct and indirect subsidiaries of the company (the “ESL Minority”).

The New Esports HoldCo intends to resolve on an issue of shares with payment in kind whereby the 8.54 per cent shareholding in ESL Gaming (12,480 shares) held by the ESL Minority is contributed to the New Esports HoldCo in exchange for an equal proportion of shares in the New Esports HoldCo.

Following such share issue, the New Esports HoldCo would hold 100 per cent of the shares in ESL Gaming. The ESL Minority would hold in aggregate 8.54 per cent of the shares in the New Esports HoldCo (i.e., equivalent to their current shareholding in ESL Gaming), and a subsidiary of the company would hold the remaining 91.46 per cent of the shares in the New Esports HoldCo.

Proposal

The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to approve that the New Esports HoldCo resolves on a new issue of shares on the following terms. The New Esports HoldCo shall have no obligation to resolve on such share issue.

Increase in share capital and number of shares

The New Esports HoldCo’s share capital shall be increased by a maximum of SEK 12,480 by way of a new issue of not more than 12,480 shares.

Subscription rights

The right to subscribe for the new shares in the New Esports HoldCo shall rest with the ESL Minority (i.e., the current minority shareholders of ESL Gaming) in proportion to their shareholding in ESL Gaming.

Subscription period, payment and subscription price

Subscription for new shares in the New Esports HoldCo shall be made on a separate subscription list not later than 30 April 2021. Payment for subscribed for shares shall be made in connection with subscription by the ESL Minority contributing all 12,480 shares in ESL Gaming held by the ESL Minority to the New Esports HoldCo, i.e., the ESL Minority shall contribute one share in ESL Gaming for each new share in the New Esports HoldCo.

The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period and postpone the date for payment.

Right to dividend

The new shares in the New Esports HoldCo shall entitle the holder to dividends as from the registration of the increase of the share capital with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Authorisation to make minor amendments

The board of directors, or any person appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments of the resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Item 11: Resolution on implementation of a long term incentive program

Background

MTG introduced two long term incentive plans (LTIPs) in 2019: the 2019 warrant plan and the 2019 performance share plan. Continuation of these two LTIPs was not proposed at the 2020 annual general meeting due to uncertainty of the potential covid-19 business impact and initial drop in MTG’s share price in Q1 2020. Since March 2020, MTG’s share price has recovered with a new long-term strategic plan in place to further accelerate business growth and correspondingly drive share price growth.

To recruit, retain and align MTG executives and key employees with the new growth and shareholder value creation plans, the board of directors has resolved to propose a new co-investment performance share plan (the “LTIP 2021”).

The participants of the LTIP 2021 are required to own shares in MTG. These investment shares can either be shares already held or shares purchased on the market in connection with the notification to participate in the LTIP 2021. The LTIP 2021 is proposed to include approximately 17 key employees within MTG.

Preparation and administration of LTIP 2021

MTG’s Remuneration Committee has prepared LTIP 2021 in consultation with external advisors and major shareholders. LTIP 2021 has been dealt with at meetings of the board of directors during Q4 2020. The board of directors or the Remuneration Committee shall be responsible for preparing the detailed terms and conditions of the LTIP 2021 in accordance with the terms and guidelines resolved on by the extraordinary general meeting.

Information regarding other long term share or share price related incentive plans in MTG

For further information regarding currently ongoing long term share or share price related incentive plans in MTG, please refer to MTG’s website, www.mtg.com.

Objectives of the LTIP 2021

The main objectives for adopting the LTIP 2021 is to drive company financial performance and create conditions to recruit and retain key talent. In summary, the board of directors believes that the implementation of the LTIP 2021 will have a positive effect on the group’s long-term and sustainable value growth, will ensure the participants’ long-term commitment and will thus be beneficial to both the shareholders and the company.

Participants and personal investment

Participants in LTIP 2021 are required to hold shares in MTG equivalent to at least 5 per cent and up to 20 per cent of the gross annual base salary of each participant (“Qualifying Shares”). The MTG shares can either be shares already held or shares purchased on the market in connection with the notification to participate in LTIP 2021. If a participant is prohibited from acquiring shares in connection with the notification to participate in LTIP 2021 due to regulations under the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 on market abuse, the Swedish Securities Market Abuse Penal Act (Sw. lagen (2016:1307) om straff för marknadsmissbruk på värdepappersmarknaden), the Swedish Act with Supplementary Provisions to the European Union’s Market Abuse Regulation (Sw. lagen (2016:1306) med kompletterande bestämmelser till EU:s marknads-missbruksförordning) or other insider legislation applicable in respect of MTG (“Insider Legislation”), the board of directors shall be entitled to instead allow the participant to acquire Qualifying Shares as soon as this is permitted.

The maximum number of Qualifying Shares for each participant is calculated by multiplying the participant’s annual base salary, gross before taxes, (the “Base Salary”) with 20 per cent and dividing it with a share price at market value calculated as the volume weighted average share price of the class B shares (“VWAP”) during the period from 1 October 2020 until 21 December 2020 (both dates inclusive) (the “Share Price”). The VWAP period has been determined to reflect the changes in executive management in September 2020 and the fact that no long term incentive plan was proposed at the 2020 annual general meeting (due to uncertainty of the potential covid-19 business impact and initial drop in MTG’s share price in Q1 2020).

For each Qualifying Share, the participant receives rights to receive MTG class B shares free of charge (the “Share Rights”), which shall vest depending on the fulfilment of pre-determined performance criteria (see below), as follows.

The LTIP 2021 is proposed to include approximately 17 participants within MTG. The maximum number of Share Rights that may be granted under the LTIP 2021 is 363,331 (prior to any recalculation, including the recalculation if the extraordinary general meeting approves the rights issue as set out below), representing approximately 0.54 per cent of the outstanding shares and 0.50 per cent of the outstanding votes in MTG.

Performance measure for Share Rights

The Share Rights shall vest (i.e., give the participant the right to receive MTG class B shares) after a three-year period, ending on 31 December 2023 (the “Vesting Period”). The number of Share Rights that vest shall be determined based on the annual total shareholder return (i.e., the value increase plus (i) any dividends paid during such period and (ii) the theoretical value of any subscription rights allotted to shareholders in any rights issue, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the rights issue resolved on by the board of directors on 17 December 2020) of MTG’s class B shares at the end of the Vesting Period (the “TSR”). The TSR shall be determined based on an initial share price equivalent to the VWAP during the period from 1 October 2020 to 31 December 2020, and a final share price equivalent to the VWAP during the period from 1 October 2023 to 31 December 2023 (plus (i) any dividends paid during such period and (ii) the theoretical value of any subscription rights allotted to shareholders in any rights issue, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the rights issue resolved on by the board of directors on 17 December 2020).

If the TSR is less than 8 per cent per annum (the “Threshold TSR”) no Share Rights shall vest. If the TSR is equal to the Threshold TSR (i.e., 8 per cent per annum), 25 per cent of the Share Rights shall vest. If the TSR is equivalent to 35 per cent per annum or more (the “Maximum TSR”), 100 per cent of the Share Rights shall vest. If the TSR is between the Threshold TSR and the Maximum TSR, the Share Rights shall vest in a linear proportion.

As referred to below, the amount of Share Rights will be recalculated, provided that the rights issue is approved by the extraordinary general meeting.

Main terms of the Share Rights

The Share Rights shall be governed by the following main terms and conditions:

• Granted free-of-charge after the extraordinary general meeting and not later than 26 February 2021 provided however that the board of directors may approve grants to new employees not later than 1 August 2021 (and provided in each case that if a participant is prohibited at such time from acquiring Share Rights due to Insider Legislation the board of directors shall be entitled to instead grant Share Rights as soon as this is permitted).
• Vest after the three-year Vesting Period (ending on 31 December 2023).
• May not be transferred or pledged.
• One (1) Share Right entitle the participant to receive one (1) MTG class B share, if and to the extent vested, as long as the participant remains employed by MTG or a group company throughout the Vesting Period. Exceptions to the condition that the participant must be employed throughout the Vesting Period may be approved by the board of directors in certain cases.
• The number of Share Rights may be recalculated by the board of directors in the event of rights issues of shares, share splits, reversed share splits or similar events.
• It is further proposed that the board of directors shall be entitled to make other adjustments, if it so deems appropriate, should changes occur in MTG or its operating environment that entails that the LTIP 2021 no longer correctly reflects the performance of MTG. Any such adjustments shall only be made in order to fulfil the main objectives of the LTIP 2021.

Rights issue recalculation

On 17 December 2020, the board of directors resolved on a rights issue subject to the approval by the extraordinary general meeting. If the extraordinary general meeting approves the rights issue, the number of Share Rights will be subject to customary recalculation (in addition to the TSR being increased by the theoretical value of the subscription rights).

Costs of the LTIP 2021 and effect on certain key ratios

The LTIP 2021 will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, which stipulates that the Share Rights should be recorded as a personnel expense over the Vesting Period. Based on the Share Price; prior to any recalculation as referred to above; that the annual employee turnover is 10 per cent; and that all participants own shares equivalent to 10 per cent of the annual base salary (i.e., half of the maximum amount) except for the CEO and CFO which are assumed to own shares equivalent to 20 per cent of the annual base salary (i.e., the maximum amount) the total cost, exclusive of social security costs, for the LTIP 2021 is estimated to be approximately SEK 15 million at 50 per cent vesting and SEK 45 million at 100 per cent vesting.

Social security costs will also be recorded as a personnel expense in the income statement by current accruals. The social security costs are, based on the assumptions above and an average social security tax rate of 31.42 per cent, estimated to be approximately SEK 8 million at 50 per cent vesting and SEK 38 million at 100 per cent vesting.

The impact on basic earnings per share if the LTIP 2021 had been introduced in 2019 with the assumptions above (at 50 per cent vesting) would result in a decrease of SEK 0.11 on a yearly pro forma basis. The annual cost of the LTIP 2021 including social security contributions is estimated to be approximately SEK 8 million based on these assumptions. This cost corresponds to approximately 0.8 per cent of MTG’s total personnel costs, including social security contributions, of SEK 966 million in 2019. MTG intends to present the final outcome of the LTIP 2021 in the 2023 Annual Report.

Administration of LTIP 2021

It is proposed that the board of directors shall be entitled to make other adjustments to the LTIP 2021, if it so deems appropriate, if changes occur in MTG, its operating environment or the market that results in a situation where the conditions for vesting of Share Rights becomes unreasonable, including, among other things, to resolve on a reduced allotment of class B shares, or to not allot any class B shares at all. Any such adjustments shall only be made in order to fulfil the main objectives of the LTIP 2021.

Delivery of class B shares

The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves that MTG may enter into a hedging arrangement with a third party to hedge the obligations of MTG to deliver shares under the LTIP 2021. Such arrangement would entail that MTG enters into an agreement with the third party, under which the third party shall, in its own name, acquire and transfer MTG class B shares to participants under LTIP 2021 (the “Hedging Arrangement”).

The board of directors has, in addition to the hedging arrangement set out above, considered another alternative for delivering MTG class B shares to the participants. This alternative would entail that MTG transfers class B shares held by MTG (and issues and acquires additional class C shares to be converted into class B shares) to the participants, free-of-charge, in accordance with items 12 a)–12 c) on the proposed agenda. The board considers the alternative set out under items 12 a)–12 c) to be preferable, as it is less expensive than the Hedging Arrangement. However, if the extraordinary general meeting does not approve the proposed issue, acquisition and transfer of MTG shares in accordance with the proposals under items 12 a)–12 c) on the proposed agenda, or to the extent such alternative is insufficient to deliver class B shares following a recalculation, the Hedging Arrangement will instead be utilised.

Majority requirement

A resolution in accordance with this item 11 (i.e., approving the LTIP 2021 and the Hedging Arrangement as outlined above) is valid if supported by shareholders representing a simple majority of the votes cast at the general meeting.

Items 12 a)–c): Resolutions on alternative hedging and share delivery arrangement under the long term incentive program

Item 12 a): Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on a directed issue of class C shares

The board of directors proposes, for the purposes of securing delivery of shares to the participants of LTIP 2021, that the board of directors is authorised to resolve on a directed issue of class C shares in accordance with the following.

• A maximum of 130,000 class C shares shall be issued (in order to secure delivery following any recalculations, including the expected recalculation due to the rights issue as set out above).
• The right to subscribe for the new class C shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, rest with Nordea Bank Abp, Swedish branch.
• The subscription price shall correspond to the quota value of the shares at the time of the subscription for the shares.
• Payment for subscribed class C shares shall be made in cash at subscription.
• A conversion provision and a redemption provision shall apply to the new class C shares.
• The authorisation may be exercised until the next annual general meeting.

Item 12 b): Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on acquisition of class C shares

The board of directors proposes, for the purposes of securing delivery of shares to the participants of LTIP 2021 that the board of directors is authorised to resolve on acquisitions of own class C shares in accordance with the following.

• A maximum of 130,000 class C shares may be acquired (in order to secure delivery following any recalculations, including the expected recalculation due to the rights issue as set out above), however only to such extent that, following each acquisition, MTG holds a maximum of 10 per cent of all shares in MTG.
• Acquisition shall be made through an offer directed to all holders of class C shares.
• The purchase price shall be an amount that corresponds to the quota value of the shares (applicable at the time of the subscription for the shares).
• Payment for acquired class C shares shall be made in cash.
• The authorisation may be exercised until the next annual general meeting.

Item 12 c): Resolution on transfer of own class B shares to participants in the long term incentive program

The board of directors proposes, for the purpose of securing delivery of shares under LTIP 2021, that a maximum of 434,880 class B shares (in order to secure delivery following any recalculations, including the expected recalculation due to the rights issue as set out above and consisting of the 304,880 class B treasury shares currently held by MTG and up to 130,000 class C shares issued pursuant to item 12 a) and acquired pursuant to item 12 b) on the proposed agenda and converted into class B shares) be transferred to the participants of LTIP 2021 in accordance with the following.

• The right to receive class B shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be granted to the participants, with right for each of the participants to receive no more than the maximum number of class B shares allowed under the terms and conditions of LTIP 2021.
• The participants’ right to receive class B shares are conditional upon the fulfilment of all terms and conditions of LTIP 2021.
• The class B shares shall be transferred within the time period set out in the terms and conditions of LTIP 2021.
• The class B shares shall be transferred free of charge.
• The number of class B shares that may be transferred to the participants may be recalculated in the event of rights issues, share splits, reverse share splits or similar events having an impact on the total number of shares in the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of LTIP 2021.

Joint resolution
