CANADA OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE
WOULD BE UNLAWFUL 

Reference is made to the offer document dated 19 February 2020 (the "Offer
Document") regarding Tencent Holdings Limited ("Tencent"), through the
indirectly owned subsidiary Tencent Cloud Europe B.V. (the "Offeror")
recommended voluntary offer for all the outstanding shares in Funcom SE
("Funcom") against a settlement in cash of NOK 17.00 per share (the "Offer").
Furthermore, reference is made to the stock exchange notice made by the Offeror
on 16 March 2020 and 19 March 2020 regarding extensions of the period during
which the offer can be accepted ("Acceptance Period") until 23 March 2020 at
16:30 hours CET and the stock exchange announcement of 17 March 2020 regarding
update on acceptances.

Pursuant to the Offer Document section 4.2 and section 4.9, the Offeror hereby
extends the Acceptance Period to 25 March 2020 at 16:30 hours CET. As a
consequence of the extension, the settlement of the Offer will be postponed
correspondingly, so that the settlement will be made within reasonable time
after the Offeror announces that the conditions for Completion of the Offer (as
set out in the Offer Document section 4.3) have been met or waived and in no
event more than 10 (ten) Business Days after the date of such announcement. The
Acceptance Period will not be further extended and the Offeror intends upon
expiry of the Acceptance Period, as extended, to proceed towards completion of
the Offer. 

Other than set out above, there are no amendments to the terms of the Offer or
the Offer Document. 

The acceptances already tendered will remain binding and there is no need for
shareholders that have already accepted the Offer to take any action whether to
confirm their acceptances or otherwise.

Preliminary counting shows that the Offeror has, shortly before the time of
release of this announcement, received acceptances of the Offer for a total of
54,559,778 shares, representing approximately 67.02% of the outstanding shares
and voting rights in Funcom. As a result of the above and previous acquisition
of shares, the Offeror owns, or has, through acceptances, rights to, in total
76,900,999 shares in Funcom, representing in total approximately 94.46% of the
share capital (calculated on a Fully Diluted basis as set out in section 4.3 of
the Offer Document). 

Provided that no conditions for completion are breached (see the Conditions for
Completion of the Offer in the Offer Document section 4.3), the Offer is
expected to be completed at the end of the Acceptance Period as adjusted. 

The Offeror would like to point out, as further set out in section 5.9 of the
Offer Document, that the Offeror will be exempted from making a mandatory offer
pursuant to article 5:71 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, if the Offer:
(i) has been declared unconditional, and (ii) the Offeror (upon the
unconditional Offer) has more than 50% (fifty per cent) of the issued and
outstanding Shares and voting rights in the Company. 
The complete terms and conditions for the Offer, including procedures for how to
accept the Offer and detailed information regarding settlement, are set out in
the Offer Document, with the amended Acceptance Period for the Offer as
described herein.

The Offer Document is, subject to regulatory restrictions in certain countries,
