On or around 03/19/2024 (Date of order of final judgment)

Filing Date: November 23, 2021

According to the Complaint, Playtika Holding Corp. develops mobile games in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia Pacific, and internationally. The Company distributes its games to the end customer through various web and mobile platforms, such as Apple, Facebook, Google, and other web and mobile platforms and its own proprietary platforms.

On December 18, 2020, Playtika filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC in connection with the IPO, which, after an amendment, was declared effective by the SEC on January 14, 2021. On January 15, 2021, pursuant to the Registration Statement, Playtika’s securities traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “PLTK.” That same day, Playtika filed a prospectus on Form 424B4 with the SEC in connection with the IPO, which incorporated and formed part of the Registration Statement.

The Complaint alleges that documents issued in connection with the Company’s IPO were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing their preparation. Additionally, the Complaint alleges the Offering Documents and Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company’s year-over-year total costs and costs related to sales & marketing and research & development were on track to rise significantly by the third quarter of 2021; (ii) the success of the Company’s game portfolio was less sustainable than the Company had represented; (iii) the foregoing issues were likely to negatively impact the Company’s revenue and earnings; and (iv) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On March 9, 2022, the Court issued an Order appointing Lead Plaintiff and Counsel. Lead Plaintiff filed an amended Complaint on May 6. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended Complaint on November 30.

On March 18, 2024, the Court issued an Order granting Defendants' Motion to Dismiss. Dismissal was granted without leave to amend.
