Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 7, 2022, PLAYSTUDIOS US, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Buyer, Brainium Studios LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Brainium”), Farhad Shakiba and Jake Brownson (each, a “Seller Member” and together, the “Seller Members”), and Farhad Shakiba, in his capacity as the Sellers’ Representative as described in the Purchase Agreement (the “Sellers’ Representative”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to acquire from the Seller Members all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Brainium (collectively, the “Brainium Acquisition”). The closing of the Brainium Acquisition occurred on October 12, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), and Brainium became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company effective as of the Closing Date.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the consideration paid by the Buyer to the Seller Members in connection with the Brainium Acquisition consists of (i) $70,000,000 in cash, as adjusted for cash, indebtedness and working capital and subject to final post-closing settlement between the Buyer and Seller Members (the “Closing Date Cash Consideration”), and (ii) potential additional contingent cash consideration of up to $27,250,000, based on Brainium’s achievement of certain financial milestones for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Contingent Payment”). The Closing Date Cash Consideration was funded by the Company with cash on hand and it is expected that any Contingent Payment will be funded with cash on hand.

The Buyer and the Seller Members have agreed to customary representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement includes various covenants and agreements by the parties, including, among others, certain covenants and obligations of the Buyer with respect to the operation of the business of Brainium that apply during the period in which the Contingent Payment milestones may be achieved.

The Purchase Agreement also provides that the Seller Members are obligated, from and after the closing, and subject to certain limitations (including, as applicable, a deductible amount, maximum dollar amounts and limited time periods), to indemnify the Buyer under the Purchase Agreement for certain matters specified in the Purchase Agreement. A portion of the Closing Date Cash Consideration equal to $7,000,000 will be held in escrow for a period of fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date to secure certain of the Seller Members’ indemnity obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that are applicable to the Seller Members for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Brainium Acquisition do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Purchase Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Buyer, or any other party to the Purchase Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the various parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
