February 21, 2025 – Limassol, Cyprus – GDEV Inc. (Nasdaq: GDEV), an international

gaming and entertainment company (“GDEV” or the “Company”), today announced that its

Board of Directors has authorized and approved a one-time, nonrecurring special cash

dividend of $3.31 per share, representing a yield of approximately 20% based on the

volume-weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the last 30 trading days prior to

today’s announcement. The special dividend is payable on March 11, 2025, to the

Company’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 3, 2025

This one-time special dividend, totaling approximately $60 million, will be funded from

GDEV’s accumulated profits over the past few years and represents a portion of the

Company’s total cash balance of approximately $153 million¹ (as of Q3 2024). The Company

expects to release its audited results for the 2024 financial year around the end of the first

quarter of 2025

By distributing a portion of its retained earnings, GDEV better optimizes its capital structure,

reducing excess liquidity and providing for a more lean and efficient operating model. This

decision reflects the Company’s commitment to disciplined capital allocation and long-term

value creation. The Board’s confidence in GDEV’s financial strength underscores its

proactive approach to maintaining an optimal balance between stability and growth in the

volatile environment. Importantly, this special dividend is a one-time distribution and does

not establish a recurring dividend program. It is not anticipated that the GDEV’s Board of

Directors will declare any further dividends in the foreseeable future.

GDEV Founder, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Andrey Fadeev, stated: “The

special dividend is the first in the Company’s history since our public listing. The decision to

declare a special dividend underscores our commitment to delivering value to our

shareholders while maintaining a strong financial position. Our robust balance sheet enables

us to return capital to shareholders without compromising our ability to invest in the

Company’s long-term growth. Following this distribution, GDEV will remain debt-free with a

substantial cash balance providing financial stability and the continued development of both

our existing portfolio and future initiatives.”
