Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On January 14, 2026, Playtika Holding Corp. (the “Company”) announced a reduction in workforce (the “Plan”) as part of a larger adjustment to the Company’s cost structure and reallocation of resources within its portfolio of games. The Plan includes a reduction of current employees by approximately 15% in the first quarter of 2026.
The Company estimates the aggregate costs associated with the Plan to be approximately $12 million to $15 million, primarily consisting of severance payments, notice period payments in applicable jurisdictions, employee benefits and related costs. The actions associated with the Plan are expected to be substantially complete during the first quarter of 2026, subject to local law requirements.
While the Plan is expected to result in operating expense efficiencies, the Company anticipates reinvesting a substantial portion of these expense reductions to advance growth initiatives. Accordingly, the impact on overall profitability will depend on timing and scope of these investments.
The estimated costs associated with the Plan, and the timing of execution thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts and timing of execution may differ materially from these estimates.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 14, 2026, the Company’s Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, Robert Antokol, sent an email to employees about the Plan. A copy of the email is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
