Re Agenda Item 5

The board proposes the reelection of PwC as state-authorized public accountant.


Re Agenda Item 6

Proposal 6.1

The Board of Directors proposes the following added to the company's articles of association article 3.4:

"Bestyrelsen er indtil den 21. marts 2028 bemyndiget til ad en eller flere gange at udstede aktietegningsoptioner (warrants) med ret for indehaverne til at tegne op til nominelt DKK 55.000 à DKK 0,02 pr. ny aktie svarende til 2.750.000 nye aktier. Selskabets aktionærer skal ikke have fortegningsret til sådanne udstedelser. Bestyrelsen fastsætter udnyttelseskursen og øvrige vilkår for aktietegningsoptionerne, dog således at udnyttelseskursen som minimum skal svare til markedskursen på tidspunktet for udstedelsen af aktietegningsoptionerne. Bestyrelsen er samtidig bemyndiget til at gennemføre den dertil hørende kapitalforhøjelse ad en eller flere gange med op til nominelt DKK 55.000 uden fortegningsret for de eksisterende aktionærer i selskabet og mod kontant indbetaling i forbindelse med udnyttelse af aktietegningsoptioner, eller et sådant beløb som måtte følge af en eventuel regulering i antallet af aktietegningsoptioner som en konsekvens af ændringer i selskabets kapitalforhold. Der kan ikke ske delvis indbetaling. Aktier, der tegnes på baggrund af disse tegningsoptioner skal lyde på navn og noteres på navn i selskabets ejerbog. De nye aktier skal være omsætningspapirer, og der skal ikke være indskrænkninger i aktiernes omsættelighed. De nye aktier skal have samme rettigheder som selskabets eksisterende aktier. Bestyrelsen træffer beslutning om de øvrige vilkår for kapitalforhøjelsen.

Bestyrelsen kan genanvende eller genudstede eventuelle bortfaldne eller ikke udnyttede aktietegningsoptioner, forudsat at genanvendelsen eller genudstedelsen finder sted inden for de vilkår, der fremgår af denne bemyndigelse. Ved genanvendelse forstås adgangen for bestyrelsen til at lade en anden aftalepart indtræde i en allerede bestående aftale om aktietegningsoptioner. Ved genudstedelse forstås bestyrelsens mulighed for at genudstede nye aktietegningsoptioner, hvis allerede udstedte aktietegningsoptioner er bortfaldet.

The board of directors is, until March 21, 2028, authorized to, by one or more issuances to issue warrants with a right for the warrant holders to subscribe for up to nominal DKK 55.000 each new share of DKK 0,02 corresponding to 2.750.000 new shares. The company's shareholders shall not have preemptive rights in relation to such issuances. The board of directors determines the exercise price and other terms for the warrants; however, the exercise price shall, at minimum, be equal to the market price at the time of the issuance of the warrants. The board of directors is also authorized to complete the related capital increase by one or more increases with a nominal amount of up to DKK 55.000 without pre-emptive rights for the existing shareholders in the company and against payment in cash when the warrants are exercised or at such an amount that follows any adjustment in the number of warrants as a consequence of amendments in the company's capital structure. Partial payment cannot be made. 

Shares subscribed by the exercise of the warrants shall be listed on name and be recorded on name in the shareholder's register of the company. The new shares shall be negotiable instruments and no restrictions in the transferability of the shares shall apply. The new shares shall have same rights as the company's existing shares. The board of directors shall determine the other terms for the capital increase. 

The board of directors can re-use or re-issue warrants that have lapsed or have not been exercised, provided that re-use or re-issuance takes place with respect to the terms of this authorization. By re-use is understood that the board of directors can let a third party enter into an existing agreement on warrants. By re-issuance is understood that the board of directors can re-issue new warrants if warrants already issued have lapsed."


Proposal 6.2

The Board of Directors proposes to change the timeframe within a general meeting must be convened from 3-5 weeks, as it currently is in the articles of association pursuant to section 4.5 thereof, to 2-4 weeks.

Consequently, the Board of Directors proposes that section 4.5 of the articles of association

are amended to the following:

"Generalforsamlingen indkaldes af bestyrelsen med mindst 2 ugers varsel og højst 4 ugers

varsel.


General meetings shall be convened by the Board of Directors, giving not less than two

weeks' and not more than four weeks' notice.".


Proposal 6.3

The Board of Directors proposes to authorize the Board of Directors to decide to let the company purchase treasury shares in the period from the annual general meeting of 2023 until next year's general meeting at a total nominal value not exceeding 10% of the share capital, at the market price applicable at the time of acquisition with a deviation of up to 10%.

Reason: The company intends to use share buybacks as a supplement to dividends to adjust the company's capital structure and to honor the current employee options program, which can be found in the yearly report 2023, page 20.


Re Agenda Item 7

There is no further business to be transacted.


Share capital 

At the time of the notice of the general meeting, the Company's nominal share capital is DKK 552,000 divided into shares of nominally DKK 0.02 each. Each share of DKK 0.02 carries one vote.

About Trophy Games

Trophy Games is an innovative, Denmark-based game studio who develops and publishes mobile and PC games.


Appendix A - New Board Member Candidate Johan Eile Background

Johan Eile currently does not hold any Trophy Games shares, and is a board member of Norsefell Games in Montreal since 2017

Originally from Kalmar, Sweden, but has lived in Montreal since 2000. 45 years old, married with three kids. Formally educated with a Bachelor of Commerce and a technical background from Telia.


Very short professional summary:

Titles: Management Consultant/Executive/Director

Over the last 23 years, Johan has been part of building and growing multiple businesses, including supporting Global Fun's IPO as well as helping establish and build out VMC Game Labs, Eidos, Warner, Funcom, and Keywords to name a few, as they have established a presence in Montreal. In 2009 he started working on building out THQ's new studio in Montreal first as a consultant and later joined full-time as Director of Business and Operations (THQ was a $1B game developer and publisher publicly traded on NASDAQ). Besides overseeing the day-to-day of the studio (Games: Saints Row II, Evolve, 1666, Darksiders WiiU), he actively participated in the re-structure of THQ globally. 

In 2013 Ubisoft acquired THQ Montreal and its assets (games and ~180 employees) through a chapter 11 process, and besides the transition, he spent the next 18 months supporting corporate development at Ubisoft (including the creation of Ubisoft's Investment program and the acquisition of Longtail Studios). Although a very challenging time, during this period he gained first-hand experience in corporate structuring and public finance (re-structure and growth), how to enable operations to scale, and AAA game development/publishing drivers.  


Titles: CEO/COO/General Manager

In 2014, he left Ubisoft to co-found and lead Cloudcade Games, a F2P game developer, and publisher. For Cloudcade he raised $1.5M as a seed investment and in 2015 they successfully launched Shop Heroes ($10M + revenue), a fantasy shop simulation game. In 2017 they rebranded to Riposte Games and launched Mini Guns (2M downloads) and Dungeon Stars (on PC and Switch). In 2019 Netmarble, through its Kabam subsidiary, acquired Riposte Games. 

Under the Kabam label, he lead the Montreal studio's launch of a simulation game called Shop Titans and by 2023 Shop Titans has surpassed $100M in revenue across PC and mobile. In 2022 the team released Shadows of Valdora, a co-op RPG for PC and mobile in soft launch. Since founding the company he grew the team to 70 employees (35% female developers) and he developed and published games on 9 different platforms in 14 different languages. Throughout this journey, Johan has primarily been in charge of Production, Publishing, scaling Live Ops/Data, and Studio Management (his partner oversaw creative and development). In February 2023, he left Kabam to pursue new projects. 


Titles: Advisor/Investor/Board Member

Over the years Johan has supported several startups, most notably in games, either through investments or advisory and board roles. He cofounded Nomadbase in 2008 to syndicate investments into 3 start-ups and was excited in 2016 with the sale of the holdings in Loyer Express. Since 2018 Johan is a Limited Partner in Play Ventures Fund I as well as Play Ventures Futures Fund. For disclosure, outside of Play Ventures, he is actively invested in Servo Games (PC/Console), Superbloom (mobile), Makea Game (UE5 pc/console), Heymoji (avatar/virtual identity), and a Family Office with private wealth and corporate benefits clients. Johan has been a board member at Norsfell Games in Montreal since 2017. 


What does Johan bring to the Trophy Games and the Board of Directors? 

Johan is a humble leader with a low ego that thrives in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment. He can support the management team and the board through his extensive operational background in games, specifically in data-driven production, publishing, as well as financing. He is known as a trusted stakeholder partner that focuses on delivering reliably and consistently. Johan has had an opportunity to collaborate with members of the management team over the last 12 months and shares the team's passion for the mission of the company he thinks he can help the group increase shareholder value and return in both the short and long-term.
