(“PLAYSTUDIOS” or the “Company”) and Acies Acquisition Corp. (“Acies”) and related transactions (the “transactions”), and for no other purpose. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there by any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No representations or warranties, express or implied, are given in, or in respect of, this presentation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no circumstances will PLAYSTUDIOS, Acies or any of their respective subsidiaries, equityholders, affiliates, representatives, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this presentation, its contents, its omissions, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith. Industry and market data used in this presentation have been obtained from third - party industry publications and sources as well as from research reports prepared for other purposes.

In addition, this presentation does not purport to be all - inclusive or to contain all of the information that may be required to make a full analysis of PLAYSTUDIOS or the proposed business combination. You are urged to make your own evaluation of PLAYSTUDIOS and such other investigations as you deem necessary before making an investment or voting decision. Forward Looking Statements This presentation and the related oral commentary include “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward - looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity, total addressable market (TAM), market share and competition, expectations and timing related to commercial product launches, the potential success of PLAYSTUDIOS’ M&A strategy and the integration of those acquisitions, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the transactions. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this presentation, and on the current expectations of PLAYSTUDIOS’ and Acies’ management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict, will differ from assumptions and are beyond the control of PLAYSTUDIOS and Acies. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are delayed or not obtained or that the approval of the shareholders of PLAYSTUDIOS or Acies is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; future global, regional or local economic, political, market and social conditions, including due to the COVID - 19 pandemic; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations, including with respect to the gaming industry; PLAYSTUDIOS’ ability to manage its future growth or to develop or acquire new games and make enhancements to its platform; the effects of competition on PLAYSTUDIOS’ future business; the amount of redemption requests made by Acies’ public shareholders; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction and identify and realize additional opportunities; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the transaction or to realize estimated forecasts and projections; or other risks and uncertainties included in Acies’ or the Company's other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and readers should also refer to those risks included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the registration statement on Form S - 4 (File No. 333 - 253135) containing the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination filed by Acies with the SEC and those included under the header “Risk Factors” in the final prospectus of Acies related to its initial public offering dated October 22, 2020, and those in other filings made by Acies or the Company with the SEC from time to time. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward - looking statements in this presentation, which speak only as of the date made. PLAYSTUDIOS and Acies do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward - looking statements in this presentation to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 
 

DISCLAIMER (continued) Use of Projections This presentation contains projected financial information with respect to PLAYSTUDIOS, including revenue, cost of sales, user acquisition costs, other expenses and Adjusted EBITDA. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information, is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such projected financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected financial information. See “Forward - Looking Statements” above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. Neither the independent auditors of PLAYSTUDIOS or Acies audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to the requirements of Regulation S - X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement, registration statement or prospectus to be filed by Acies with the SEC. In addition, all PLAYSTUDIOS historical financial information included herein is preliminary and subject to change, including in connection with the audit of the financial statements. Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA), have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and before costs capitalized for internal - use software projects, restructuring (consisting primarily of severance and other restructuring related costs), stock - based compensation expense, and other income and expense items (including unusual items, foreign currency gains and losses, and other non - cash items). PLAYSTUDIOS and Acies believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to assess operational performance and trends in, and in comparing PLAYSTUDIOS’ financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. PLAYSTUDIOS’ non - GAAP financial measures may be different from non - GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in PLAYSTUDIOS’ financial statements. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are out of PLAYSTUDIOS’ control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, PLAYSTUDIOS is unable to provide probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. Because of the limitations of non - GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non - GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation in conjunction with PLAYSTUDIOS’ audited financial statements and the related notes thereto. No Offer or Solicitation This presentation shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction. This presentation shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

After the registration statement is declared effective, Acies will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its stockholders.

ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. Participants in the Solicitation Acies and PLAYSTUDIOS and their respective directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of Acies’ shareholders in connection with the proposed business combination.
