("Sumo Group" or the "Group")

New Studio in Newcastle

Sumo Group is pleased to announce that Sumo Digital Limited ("Sumo Digital") has taken on the Newcastle studio of CCP Games (the "Studio"), through an asset purchase agreement for a nominal cash consideration. This was the opportunity to open a new studio to which the Group referred in its Admission Document dated 15 December 2017.

The 34 staff at the Studio, including all games developers, became employees of Sumo Digital on 1 January 2018. Sumo Digital will take an assignment of the lease for the property in which the Studio is located.

Carl Cavers, CEO of Sumo Group, said: "We are delighted that such a talented group of individuals has joined Sumo Digital, further enhancing the Group's skills and depth of expertise. Our experience of opening the Nottingham Studio in 2016 shows us that expansion into a new location opens the door to a whole new pool of talent, a crucial element in our growth plans.

"Sumo Group only recently began working with CCP Games. Both organisations were keen to keep the Newcastle team together and we were very pleased to complete the transfer at the start of our new financial year and first full year as a plc.

"On behalf of everyone at Sumo Group, I extend a warm welcome to the new team at Sumo Digital Newcastle."
