Significant events
- “On the 30 June 2025 the loan to subsidiary company Sad Panda Studios ltd was converted into 1,656,962 newly issued shares in Sad Panda Studios Ltd.”
- “Subsequently, the company sold 74.9% of its shareholding in Sad Panda.”
- “Subsequently to the reporting date, the management of Phoenix Games Holding UK Ltd resolved to discontinue the operations of Smiley Gamer BV, a fellow group undertaking.”
- “The overall distribution of the residual assets will be effected through the declaration and distribution of a dividend, estimated subsequently to the reporting date to be EUR 3,900,000, by Smiley Gamer BV to Phoenix Games Holding UK Ltd. Phoenix Games Holding UK Ltd intends to apply the proceeds to settle an outstanding intra-group loan balance with the subsidiary and materially recover the carrying value of its investment. However, based on current estimates, a small loss on investment is likely to be recognised upon final distribution.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
