EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation (the “Offer Letter”) and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent Solicitation (the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent”), copies of which were filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) and Exhibit (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed by PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on April 1, 2022 (the “Schedule TO”), relating to the tender offer by the Company to purchase for cash up to 10,996,361 of its outstanding warrants to purchase Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, without interest (the “Offer Purchase Price”). The Offer Letter and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”.

Concurrently with the Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents from holders of its outstanding warrants to amend (the “Warrant Amendment”) the Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of the warrants, to permit the Company to redeem each outstanding warrant for $0.90 in cash, without interest (the “Redemption Price”), which Redemption Price is 10% less than the Offer Purchase Price.

The Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), is amended to (i) clarify that no action or inaction of the Company or its affiliates will be permitted to trigger any of the conditions which allow the Company to terminate the Offer, (ii) inform the holders of warrants that any determination by the Company as to whether any condition to the Offer has been satisfied may be challenged by any holder of warrants in a court of competent jurisdiction, and (iii) clarify that the total amount of cash required to complete the Offer, including the payment of any fees, expenses and other related amounts incurred in connection with the Offer, will be approximately $11.85 million, all of which the Company will fund from its existing and available cash reserve, with no alternative plans to finance the purchase of the tendered warrants.

The Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal and Consent, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), is amended to include prominent and clear disclosure on the first page instructing the holders of warrants to review the Offer Letter, including Annex A thereto, in its entirety, for a description of the complete terms of the Offer, including the Warrant Amendment which the holders of warrants will be consenting to in connection with the tender of any warrants.

Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 1. Except as amended hereby to the extent specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Offer Letter, the Letter of Transmittal and Consent and the other exhibits to the Schedule TO remains unchanged and are hereby expressly incorporated into this Amendment No. 1 by reference. This Amendment No. 1 should be read with the Schedule TO, the Offer Letter and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
