On October 1, 2020, Zynga Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zynga”), completed its previously announced acquisition of 80% of all issued and outstanding share capital of Rollic Games Oyun Yazılım ve Pazarlama Anonim Şirketi, a Turkey joint stock company (“Rollic”), pursuant to the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated August 4, 2020, between the shareholders (collectively, the “Sellers”) of Rollic and Zynga.

At closing, including the adjustments and certain transaction expenses as set forth in the Agreement, Zynga paid approximately $180 million in cash (the “Closing Consideration”) to the Sellers. Pursuant to the Agreement, $16 million of the Closing Consideration was deposited into an escrow fund in cash as security for certain indemnification obligations of the Sellers.

A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Zynga’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2020. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement.

On October 1, 2020, Zynga and the Sellers entered into an Amendment Agreement to the Agreement (the “Amendment”) to agree on certain clarifying revisions related to the calculation of the Step-In Consideration under the Agreement. A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated into this Item 3.02. In accordance with the Agreement, Zynga will acquire the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Rollic during each of the three years following the closing (the “Step-In Period”) payable annually based upon the achievement of specified growth and profitability metrics by Rollic, as set forth within the Agreement. The additional consideration related to Step-In Period (the “Step-In Consideration”) will consist of at least 50% of each payment in cash and the remainder, at Zynga’s discretion, in cash and unregistered shares of Zynga’s Class A common stock (the “Zynga Stock”) based on the volume-weighted average closing price of the Zynga Stock during a 30 consecutive trading day period in advance of each payment. Following the end of the Step-In Period, Rollic will be a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Zynga. Any shares of Zynga Stock issued as Step-In Consideration are to be issued pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
