CASE ALLEGATIONS: Acies is a "blank check" special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") formed in October 2020. On February 1, 2021, Acies announced that it had reached a merger agreement with Playstudios, a privately-held gaming company ("Old Playstudios"). In the press release announcing the merger, Playstudios announced that the transaction implied an enterprise valuation for Playstudios of $1.1 billion and that the consideration to Old Playstudios shareholders for the merger would comprise at least 89.1 million shares of Acies common stock, worth $10 per share, up to $150 million in cash, and a $250 million investment PIPE of common stock of Acies.

The Playstudios class action lawsuit alleges that Playstudios made misleading statements and omissions regarding the true state of Playstudios' development of its flagship game Kingdom Boss and about its financial projections and future prospects in the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement and subsequent statements. The projections were expressly premised on a successful and timely launch of Kingdom Boss. For example, in the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement, Playstudios told investors that "Kingdom Boss, which began development in 2020, will launch as expected in the second half of 2021." The Playstudios class action lawsuit further alleges that, at the same time the projections of revenue and profits were being publicly made, Playstudios knew that Kingdom Boss had encountered difficulties in its design and implementation that would cause the launch to be substantially delayed.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who: (1) purchased Playstudios securities during the Class Period; (2) held common stock of Acies as of May 25, 2021 and was eligible to vote at Acies' June 16, 2021 special meeting who exchanged its shares of Acies stock for shares of Playstudios stock pursuant to the merger; and (3) purchased or otherwise acquired Playstudios common stock pursuant to or traceable to Acies' Registration Statement and Proxy Statement issued in connection with the June 2021 merger to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Playstudios class action lawsuit.
