Nexters Results Presentation Deck

Update on recent geopolitical developments Recently, as a result of the military actions in Ukraine, a number of governments, including those of the United States, United Kingdom and European Union, have imposed unprecedented sanctions on specified persons and entities in Russia. While the situation remains highly fluid and additional sanctions are possible, neither Nexters, nor any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any sanctions that have been imposed. Nevertheless, based on the Nexters current geographical distribution of bookings, management believes that the latest geopolitical developments will have certain residual negative effects on Nexters' future financial performance, limited to the share of bookings deriving from the markets of the former Soviet Union (FSU), which stood at 13% of our total for 2021 and which, as a percentage of our total bookings, has been declining over the past few years. The exact effects cannot currently be reliably estimated due to the constantly changing environment. ā— ā— 3 nexters Nexters is a global firm and its key shareholders reside in the European Union and the United Kingdom with no single shareholder having an interest in more than 50% of the outstanding shares (the founders, Andrey Fadeev EU and Boris Gertsovskiy EU, each hold approx. 20.2%, Everix Investments Limited (beneficially owned by Dmitrii Bukhman and Igor Bukhman UK) holds approx. 37.8%). Players of Nexters' games are spread all around the globe, with the United States, Europe, and Asia being the largest markets, altogether representing close to 78% of the Company's bookings. Nexters has an international board of directors and a Cyprus-based management team. The majority of the Company's critical personnel, responsible for sustaining the operations of the Company, is located in Cyprus and other countries of the European Union, with Russia being used mostly for non-critical, administrative and supportive functions. We are offering relocation assistance to our employees from the affected countries, with the aim to accelerate the relocation of personnel to safe locations. Nexters will continue to analyze the announced sanctions, any potential additional sanctions, and the situation in the key markets in which Nexters operates in order to be able to react to the changing environment accordingly and to make every effort to minimize any negative impact on its business. All Nexters games that have been launched are available on all platforms. Nexters continues to develop, operate, and support all of its games. On February 28, 2022, Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange imposed a suspension of trading in securities of a number of companies with operations in Russia, including Nexters, which suspension currently remains in place. Nexters has been in regular communication with representatives of Nasdaq since the imposition of the suspension of trading in an effort to lift the suspension. We will continue to cooperate with Nasdaq on this matter. Nexters is not aware of any restrictions on the ability of U.S. and non-U.S. persons to acquire and trade in Nexters securities. As a company based in and managed from the European Union, neither Nexters, nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to recently announced sanctions as of the date of this press release, other than the suspension of trading mentioned above.
