Virtual Stockholder Meeting

Due to the ongoing public heath impact of the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), and to support the health and well-being of our Board, our employees and our stockholders, the Board has decided to hold a completely virtual Annual Meeting this year. The Board believes that the virtual format for the Annual Meeting will provide the opportunity for participation by a broader group of our stockholders, while reducing the costs associated with planning, holding, and arranging logistics for in-person meeting proceedings. The virtual meeting format enables stockholders to participate fully, and equally, from any location around the world, at little to no cost. It also reduces the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. We designed the format of our Annual Meeting to ensure that our stockholders who attend our Annual Meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting and to enhance stockholder access, participation and communication through online tools.

Date and Time: The Annual Meeting will be held virtually through a live audio webcast on June 9, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. There will be no physical meeting location. The meeting will only be conducted via an audio webcast.

Access to the Audio Webcast of the Annual Meeting: The live audio webcast of the Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Online access to the audio webcast will open approximately fifteen minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time for you to log in and test the computer audio system. We encourage our stockholders to access the meeting prior to the start time.

Log in Instructions: To attend the virtual Annual Meeting, log in at www.proxydocs.com/PLTK and register in advance. Following registration, you will receive instructions regarding virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting and how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, along with your unique link to attend the Annual Meeting, via email. Stockholders will need their unique control number which appears on the Notice (printed in the shaded box) and the instructions that accompanied the Proxy Materials. If your shares of common stock are held by a bank, broker or other holder of record, and you do not have a control number, please contact your bank, broker or other holder of record as soon as possible, so that you can be provided with a control number and register to gain access to the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting’s Rules of Conduct will be posted on www.proxydocs.com/PLTK approximately two weeks prior to the day of the Annual Meeting.

Technical Assistance: Beginning 30 minutes prior to the start of and during the virtual Annual Meeting, we will have a support team ready to assist stockholders with any technical difficulties they may have accessing or hearing the virtual meeting.

If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, you should call our support team at the toll-free number that will be provided to you via email following registration.

Voting shares prior to and at the virtual Annual Meeting: Stockholders may vote their shares at www.proxypush.com/PLTK prior to the start of the virtual Annual Meeting. If your shares of common stock are held by a bank, broker or other holder of record, you may not vote these shares online at our Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other holder of record that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

Availability of live webcast to our employees and other constituents: The live audio webcast will be available to not only our stockholders, but also our employees and other constituents.

Proposals

Proposal 1 - Election of Directors

The Board currently consists of seven directors who we believe contribute the breadth of knowledge and experience necessary for the advancement of our business strategies and objectives. Based on the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has nominated the following current seven directors, for re-election at the Annual Meeting, each to serve for a one‑year term expiring at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2023 and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualify:

Dana Gross

Bing Yuan

Each of the nominees for election currently serves as a director and has consented to serve for a new term if elected. Each nominated director, other than Ms. Du and Ms. Gross, who joined our Board in January 2022, was elected by our stockholders to his or her present term of office. Although it is anticipated that each nominee will be able to serve as a director, should any nominee become unavailable to serve, the shares of our common stock represented by the proxies will be voted for such other person or persons as may be designated by the Board, unless the Board reduces the number of directors accordingly. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board is not aware of any nominee who is unable or will decline to serve as a director.

For more information regarding our nominees, please see the “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance” section of this Proxy Statement.


OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

Proposal 2 - Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2022. Representatives of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be provided an opportunity to make a statement if the representatives desire to do so. The representatives are also expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Although ratification by our stockholders is not a prerequisite to the power of the Audit Committee to appoint Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board and the Audit Committee believe such ratification to be advisable and in the best interests of the company. Accordingly, stockholders are being requested to ratify, confirm, and approve the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2022. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee; however, the Audit Committee has no obligation to change its appointment based on stockholder ratification. If the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, is ratified, the Audit Committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of its scope of engagement, pricing and work quality, among other factors, and will retain the right to replace Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, at any time.


OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KOST FORER GABBAY & KASIERER, A MEMBER OF ERNST & YOUNG GLOBAL, FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2022.

Proposal 3 - Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers (“Say-on-Pay” Proposal)

As required by Section 14A(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), we are asking our stockholders to vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the executive compensation tables narrative that follow (the “Say-on-Pay Proposal”). Our Board has decided that we will hold an annual advisory vote to approve the Say-on-Pay Proposal, in light of the fact that a substantial majority of the votes cast at our annual stockholders’ meeting held in June 2021 were voted in favor of holding an annual advisory vote. Following the Say-on-Pay Proposal to be conducted at this Annual Meeting, we expect our next Say-on-Pay Proposal will be conducted at our annual meeting in 2023.

We encourage our stockholders to review the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement for more information.

Because this vote is advisory, it is not binding on us or the Board. Nevertheless, the views expressed by stockholders, whether through this vote or otherwise, are important to management and the Board and, accordingly, the Board and the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) will consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements.


OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021, AS MORE FULLY DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

Director Nominees

The Board has nominated the following seven current directors, identified below, for re-election at the Annual Meeting, each to serve for a one‑year term expiring at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2023, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify. The information presented below highlights each director nominee’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led the Board to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director. We believe that all of our director nominees have a reputation for integrity, honesty, and adherence to high ethical standards. They each have demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment of service to Playtika and the Board. We also value the additional perspective that comes from serving on other companies’ boards of directors and board committees. We continue to review the composition of the Board in an effort to assemble a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in various areas.

Robert Antokol co-founded the Playtika business in 2010, with our subsidiary, Playtika Ltd., and has served as its Chief Executive Officer since its founding. Mr. Antokol also served as our Chief Executive Officer since October 2019 and as Chairperson of the Board since June 2020. In these roles, Mr. Antokol has overseen the expansion of our games portfolio, the successful transition to mobile, and an employee base that grew from less than 50 to more than 4,000 employees. In 2011, only 13 months after founding Playtika, he successfully oversaw the sale of Playtika to Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (“CIE”), and in 2016, Mr. Antokol oversaw the sale of Playtika from CIE to a consortium of investors led by Giant Network Group Co., Ltd. Mr. Antokol received his Practical Engineering degree, with an emphasis on Electricity, from Ort Braude College.

We believe Mr. Antokol’s operational expertise, leadership, historical knowledge and the continuity that he brings to the Board as our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board qualify him to continue to serve on the Board.

Marc Beilinson has served as a member of the Board since June 2020 and also serves as chairperson of our Audit Committee. Mr. Beilinson currently serves on the boards of several public companies, including Apollo Global Management, Inc., Athene Holding Ltd., a retirement services company, where he also serves as the lead independent director and the chair of its compensation committee and Exela Technologies. In addition, Mr. Beilinson currently serves on the boards of directors of Mallinckrodt, LLC and MMR Advisory Holdings, LLC. Since August 2011, Mr. Beilinson has been the Managing Partner of Beilinson Advisory Group, a financial restructuring and hospitality advisory group that specializes in assisting distressed companies. Most recently, Mr. Beilinson served as Chief Restructuring Officer of Newbury Common Associates LLC (and certain affiliates) from December 2016 to June 2017. Mr. Beilinson previously served as Chief Restructuring Officer of Fisker Automotive from November 2013 to August 2014 and as Chief Restructuring Officer and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Hospitality Properties Trust, Inc. from August 2011 to December 2014 and Innkeepers USA Trust from November 2008 to March 2012. Mr. Beilinson has previously served on the boards of directors and/or audit committees of a number of public and privately held companies, including, but not limited to, Westinghouse Electric, CAC, Wyndham International, Inc., Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc., Innkeepers USA Trust, Gastar Inc., Acosta, Inc., American Tire, Haggen Stores, MMR Advisory Holdings, LLC, Rentpath Holdings, Inc., KB US, Inc., 24 Holdings II, LLC and Monitronics. Mr. Beilinson has a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles and a Juris Doctor from the University of California Davis Law School.

We believe Mr. Beilinson’s over thirty years of service on the boards of both public and private companies, and his extensive knowledge of legal and compliance issues, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, qualify him to continue to serve on the Board.

Hong Du has served as a member of the Board since January 2022. Since February 2013, Ms. Du has served as SINA’s Co-President and Chief Operating Officer. Ms. Du joined SINA in November 1999 and worked in Business

Development until April 2004. From May 2004 to January 2005, Ms. Du served as Deputy General Manager of 1Pai.com, a joint venture between SINA and Yahoo! Ms. Du rejoined SINA in January 2005 and served as the General Manager of Sales Strategy from January 2005 to March 2005, General Manager of Sales from April 2005 to August 2005, Vice President of Sales from September 2005 to February 2007, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing from February 2007 to February 2008, and Chief Operating officer from February 2008 to February 2013. Hong Du has served as a director of Weibo Corporation, a publicly-traded company, since January 2014. Ms. Du holds a B.S. in Applied Chemistry from Harbin Institute of Technology and an M.S. in Business Administration from Lincoln University.

We believe Ms. Du’s extensive experience in the technology industry as well has her service to the board of another major public company in the technology space qualifies her to continue to serve on the Board.

Dana Gross has served as a member of the Board since January 2022. Since 2016, Ms. Gross has served as Chief Operating Officer of Prospera Technologies, an Israeli AI company, which was acquired by Valmont Industries. Prior to joining Prospera Technologies, Ms. Gross was Chief Financial Officer of eToro, a fintech company, from 2014 to 2016, and before that has held senior management roles with bTendo Ltd., SanDisk and M-Systems. Ms. Gross has served on the board of Tower Semiconductors Ltd., a publicly traded company, since 2008. In addition, Ms. Gross previously served on the boards of M-Systems, AudioCodes, and PowerDsine and was a venture partner at one of Israel’s leading venture capital funds, Viola Ventures. Ms. Gross graduated Cum Laude from Tel Aviv University with a BSc in Industrial Engineering and received her MBA from San Jose State University.

We believe Ms Gross’ extensive experience in technology industries and venture capital, including , her operational and financial experience, as well as her extensive experience of service to the boards of both public and private companies, qualify her to continue to serve on the Board.

Tian Lin has served as a member of the Board since September 2016. Mr. Lin also serves on the boards of EOITEK, ltd and Mydreams Plus Group Ltd. Mr. Lin served as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer from September 2016 to October 2019 and as our Secretary from September 2016 to October 2020, although Mr. Lin has never had an operational role within the Company. Mr. Lin has also served on the boards of certain of our subsidiaries since 2016, including Playtika Ltd. Since December 2017, Mr. Lin also served as a managing director of M31 Capital, a multi-strategy investment platform based in China. Mr. Lin has extensive experience in the technology and online gaming industries, having served as the head of investment at Giant Network Group Co., Ltd. from January 2016 until January 2021 and leading Giant’s acquisition of Playtika in 2016. Mr. Lin received his bachelor of science degree in computer science from Carnegie Mellon and his M.B.A. from Peking University.

We believe Mr. Lin’s extensive experience in the gaming and technology industries, as well as the continuity that he brings to the Board through his prior roles at Playtika and his service on the board of directors of our subsidiaries, qualify him to continue to serve on the Board.

Wei Liu has served as a member of the Board since June 2020. Since May 2016, Ms. Liu has served as a director of Giant Network Group Co., Ltd., where she has also served as a member of the Nominating Committee and as the General Manager of the company’s routine operations. Ms. Liu also served as the Chief Executive Officer and a director for Giant Interactive Group Inc. from 2006 to 2014. Ms. Liu holds a Bachelor’s degree from Nankai University and a Master’s degree from China Europe International Business School.

We believe Ms. Liu’s experience in the gaming and technology industries as well has her extensive experience of service to the boards of both public and private companies qualifies her to continue to serve on the Board.

Bing Yuan has served as a member of the Board since June 2020 and also serves on the Audit Committee. Since April 2020, Mr. Yuan has served on the board of directors for I-Mab, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, where he also serves as a member of the audit committee.

Additionally, Mr. Yuan is co-founder and managing partner of Rockets Capital since January 2022. Previously, Mr. Yuan was a managing director of Hony Capital since 2009.

Mr. Yuan received his bachelor’s degree in English from Nanjing University and received his master’s degree in international relations and his Juris Doctor from Yale University.

We believe Mr. Yuan’s extensive experience in corporate finance, investment banking and service on various companies’ boards of directors qualifies him to continue to serve on the Board.

Corporate Governance

Board Composition

We believe the Board should be composed of individuals with sophistication and experience in many substantive areas that impact our business. We believe that all of our current Board members possess the professional and personal qualifications necessary for Board service and have highlighted particularly noteworthy attributes for each Board member in the individual biographies above.

The Board is currently composed of seven members with no vacancies.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board. Until the date on which Playtika Holding UK II Limited and its affiliates cease to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than 50% in voting power of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (a “Triggering Event”), the Board shall be elected annually to serve from the time of election and qualification until the next annual meeting following their election or until their earlier death, resignation and removal. In addition, until a Triggering Event, our stockholders will have the right to remove any of our directors with or without cause by a majority vote of the stockholders. Following a Triggering Event, the Board will be divided into three classes of directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the class whose terms are then expiring, to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. In addition, following a Triggering Event, our stockholders will have the right to remove any of our directors only for cause by a majority vote of the stockholders.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board. Following a Triggering Event, any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of the Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

Playtika Holding UK II Limited beneficially owns shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of our shares eligible to vote in the election of directors. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (1) that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors, (2) that the Board have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors and (3) that the Board have a nominating and governance committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors. We do not plan to utilize the exemptions available for controlled companies at this time.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a policy with respect to whether the role of the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate and, if it is to be separate, whether the Chairperson should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee. Mr. Antokol, our Chief Executive Officer, currently serves as Chairperson of

the Board. The Board has determined that, like many U.S. companies, this is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time because Mr. Antokol is uniquely positioned to serve as our Chairperson as our Chief Executive Officer with significant industry experience and depth of knowledge about our operations. We do not have a formally designated “lead director.” The Board acknowledges that no single leadership model is right for all companies at all times. As such, the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure and may, depending on the circumstances, choose a different leadership structure in the future.

Director Independence

The Board determined that each of Mr. Beilinson, Ms. Du, Ms. Gross, Ms. Liu and Mr. Yuan is an “independent director” as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq, representing over 70% of our seven directors. In making these determinations, the Board reviewed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and current and prior relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director and any transactions involving them described in the section titled “Related Party Transactions.”

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board met eight times during 2021. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board while they were members of the Board, and (ii) the total number of meetings of the committees of the Board on which such directors served during the period he or she served.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. The Board is responsible for general oversight of risks and regular review of information regarding our risks, including credit risks, cybersecurity risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to accounting matters and financial reporting. The Audit Committee is also responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of the Board and potential conflicts of interest. Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors is regularly informed through discussions from committee members about such risks. The Board believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not negatively affected the Board’s leadership structure.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of our code of business conduct and ethics is available in the investors section of our corporate website at www.playtika.com.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We adopted corporate governance guidelines that promote the functioning of the Board and its committees and set forth expectations as to how the Board should operate. The guidelines include information about the composition of the Board, orientation and continuing education, director compensation, Board meetings, Board committees, management succession, expectations of directors, and information regarding the performance evaluation of the Board. A current copy of our corporate governance guidelines is available in the investors section of our corporate website at www.playtika.com.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our Compensation Committee is an officer or one of our employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the Board or Compensation Committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Board or Compensation Committee.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

To ensure proper alignment with our stockholders, we have established policies that prohibit our directors, officers, employees, and their family members from engaging in any transaction that might allow them to realize gains from declines in our securities. Specifically, we prohibit our directors, officers, employees, and their family members from engaging in transactions using derivative securities, short selling our securities, trading in any puts, calls or covered calls, writing purchase or call options and short sales, or otherwise participating in hedging, “stop loss,” or other speculative transactions involving our securities. In addition, margin purchases of our securities and pledging any of our securities as collateral to secure loans is prohibited.

Board Committees

The Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and the responsibilities described below. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the Board when necessary to address specific issues.

Each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operate under a written charter that was approved by the Board. A copy of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charters are available in the investors section of our corporate website at www.playtika.com.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process and assists the Board in monitoring our financial systems. Our Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm;

•discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management;

•reviewing and monitoring our accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and

•establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Beilinson, Ms. Gross and Mr. Yuan, with Mr. Beilinson serving as chair. The Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Beilinson, Ms. Gross and Mr. Yuan each meet the requirements for independence under current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations.

In addition, the Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is financially literate, and that each of Mr. Beilinson, Ms. Gross and Mr. Yuan is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

Our Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and benefits programs. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives and setting compensation;

•reviewing and setting or making recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of our other executive officers;

•reviewing and approving or making recommendations to the Board regarding our incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements; and

•appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants.

Our Compensation Committee consists of Ms. Du, Ms. Liu and Mr. Yuan, with Ms. Liu serving as chair. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of Ms. Du, Ms. Liu and Mr. Yuan meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and that each is a non-employee director, as defined in Section 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

Our Compensation Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees and assists the Board in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board;

•recommending to the Board the nominees for election to the Board at annual meetings of our stockholders;

•evaluating the overall effectiveness of the Board; and

•developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines and principles.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Mr. Beilinson, Ms. Liu and Mr. Yuan, with Mr. Yuan serving as chair. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Beilinson, Ms. Liu and Mr. Yuan meet the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards, and the composition of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the applicable requirements under Nasdaq listing standards.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met once during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have any specific, minimum qualifications for Board nominees, in considering possible candidates for election as a director, the committee strives to compose the Board with a collection of complementary skills and which, as a group, will possess the appropriate skills and experience to effectively oversee the Company’s business. In evaluating a potential candidate for the Board, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account a number of factors, including: personal and professional integrity; ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as current or past service as an officer of a publicly held company; and a general understanding of marketing, finance, and other elements relevant to the success of a publicly traded company; experience in the Company’s industry; experience as a board member of another publicly held company; academic expertise in an area of the Company’s operations; and practical and mature business judgment, including the ability to make independent analytical inquiries. Although diversity may be

a consideration in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s process, the committee does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the qualifications and backgrounds of directors and nominees (without regard to whether a nominee has been recommended by a stockholder), as well as the overall composition of the Board, and recommend the slate of directors to be nominated for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not currently employ or pay a fee to any third-party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential director nominees.

If the Board determines to seek additional directors for nomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider as potential director nominees candidates recommended by various sources, including any member of the Board or senior management. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also retain a third-party search firm to identify candidates. The committee also considers recommendations for nominees that are timely submitted by stockholders if such recommendations are delivered in the manner prescribed by the advance notice provisions contained in our bylaws. In addition to satisfying the timing, ownership and other requirements specified in our bylaws, a stockholder’s notice must set forth as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to recommend all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and our bylaws (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected). Properly communicated stockholder recommendations will be considered in the same manner as recommendations received from other sources.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following sections of this compensation discussion and analysis provide information about the material components of our executive compensation program for 2021 for our “named executive officers.” For 2021, our named executive officers are:

• Robert Antokol, Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer;

• Craig Abrahams, President and Chief Financial Officer;

• Ofer Kinberg, Chief Revenue Officer;

• Shlomi Aizenberg, Chief Operating Officer; and

•Michael Cohen, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary.

Response to 2021 Say on Pay Vote and Changes to Executive Compensation Program for 2022

We are committed to exceptional performance and being responsive to our stockholders. Our initial public offering in January 2021 was a historic milestone for our company, positioning us for an exciting journey ahead.

Our executive compensation program received the support of 83% of the total votes cast at our 2021 Annual Meeting. These results indicated solid support of our program, but as we move forward as a public company, we recognize that the structure of our legacy executive compensation programs should evolve with the progression of our business in order to more closely tie executive compensation with long-term shareholder value creation. Following our 2021 annual meeting, we engaged in outreach efforts with key stakeholders to solicit feedback on compensation and governance matters. In response to feedback on our incentive measures and long-term pay mix, and considering market best compensation practices, the Compensation Committee took prompt and decisive measures to review and make changes in 2022 to our executive compensation program, an overview of which is provided below.

Our new program, which represents a significant shift in our approach to executive pay, will be implemented for 2022. It was carefully developed to incorporate the feedback that we gathered and analyzed from a spectrum of stakeholders, including our key stockholders, proxy advisory firms, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, management and our full Board. The result of this extensive outreach was the development, adoption and implementation of a new executive compensation program that more closely aligns with market best practices and stockholder expectations. Of note, the significant changes that were adopted were done so in the context of retaining and incentivizing our executive leadership team, while also complying with existing employment agreements.

As part of this process, the Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer & Partners LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), as its independent compensation consultant, to gain further insight on current pay practices to ensure that our approach going forward effectively balances competitive market practices, stockholder expectations, best-practice governance standards and our business strategy.

The following is an overview of the modifications that we made in 2022 with respect to executive compensation:


Revised the Annual Bonus Plan to Provide Formulaic Bonus Payouts Tied to Financial Performance						•Established target bonus payout opportunities aligned with market practices ◦Below threshold: no bonus payout ◦Threshold payout: 50% of target ◦Target payout: 100% ◦Maximum payout: 200% of target •Utilized pre-established financial performance targets ◦For 2022, annual bonus payouts will be based on the achievement of pre-determined threshold, target and maximum Adjusted EBITDA goals •Our Chief Executive Officer will participate in the same annual bonus plan as other executive officers
Introduced Performance-Based Long-Term Equity Incentives						•Granted equity awards to executive officers using 100% performance stock units (“PSUs”) •PSUs vest 25% per year based on the achievement of pre-established annual revenue growth targets •Actual PSUs earned range from 0% to 100% of target ◦50% payout: 6% revenue growth ◦75% payout: 7.5% revenue growth ◦100% payout: 9% or more revenue growth (Awards will be determined based on linear interpolation between levels)
Implemented Executive Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines						•Adopted robust stock ownership guidelines ◦CEO: 6x base salary ◦Other executive officers: 3x base salary Each officer must achieve ownership of the required market value of shares within three years of becoming subject to the guidelines. Common stock, common stock beneficially owned by the officer and RSUs count towards the requirement, but shares the officer has a right to acquire through exercising stock options (whether or not vested) are not counted. In addition, unearned performance-based awards are not counted as ownership for purposes of measuring compliance with the guidelines.

The above changes are intended to demonstrate that we are committed to putting forth an executive compensation program that further aligns the interests of our executives with our long-term stockholders, dutifully governed, and well-positioned to continue to attract, engage, and retain the high-caliber leadership talent needed to lead Playtika well into the future.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We believe that for us to be successful we must hire and retain people who can continue to develop our strategy and innovate our products and services. To achieve these objectives, our executive compensation program has been designed to motivate, reward, attract and retain high caliber management and seeks to align compensation with our short- and long-term business objectives, business strategy and financial performance.

Our compensation programs for our named executive officers are built to support the following objectives:

•attract top talent in our leadership positions and motivate our executives to deliver the highest level of individual and team impact and results;

•ensure each one of our named executive officers receives a total compensation package that encourages the executive’s long-term retention;

•reward high levels of performance with commensurate levels of compensation; and

•align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by emphasizing long-term incentives.

Determination of Compensation

Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing all aspects of our executive compensation programs, including executive salaries, annual and long-term incentives and any executive perquisites for our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee considers such factors as it determines are appropriate in setting executive compensation, including the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to himself), current and past total compensation, company performance and each executive’s impact on performance, each executive’s relative scope of responsibility and potential, each executive’s individual performance and demonstrated leadership and internal equity pay considerations.

Role of Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage its own advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer in October 2021 as its independent compensation consultant. Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Compensation Committee. Pearl Meyer also communicates with management to gather information and review management proposals as needed. Pearl Meyer’s responsibilities include:

•Reviewing and advising on executive compensation program design and policies, including the performance measures to be used under the executive compensation program and goal setting

•Advising on executive compensation philosophy

•Providing analysis and recommendations regarding the composition and selection of our peer group companies

•Conducting executive compensation proxy and survey pay benchmarking

•Assessing peer group annual and long-term incentive plan design practices

•Assessing peer group equity dilution and burn rate practices

•Updating the Compensation Committee with executive compensation and governance trends, best practices, and proxy advisory policy updates

•Advising on other related programs such as stock ownership guidelines, severance, change-in-control severance, clawback policies, etc.

Other than advising the Compensation Committee as described above, Pearl Meyer did not provide any services to the Company in 2021. The Compensation Committee has sole authority to hire, fire and set the terms of engagement with Pearl Meyer. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Pearl Meyer, and each other adviser and outside legal counsel that provide advice to the Compensation Committee, pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market and concluded that Pearl Meyer and such other advisers are independent. Further, pursuant to SEC rules, the Compensation Committee conducted a conflicts of interest

assessment and determined that there is no conflict of interest resulting from retaining Pearl Meyer. The Compensation Committee intends to reassess the independence of its advisers at least annually.

Role of Management. In setting compensation for 2021, our Chief Executive Officer worked closely with the Compensation Committee in managing our executive compensation program. Our Chief Executive Officer made recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for our executive officers other than himself because of his daily involvement with our executive team. No executive officer participated directly in the final deliberations or determinations regarding his or her own compensation package.

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

The primary elements of our named executive officers’ compensation and the main objectives of each are:

•Base Salary: Base salary attracts and retains talented executives, recognizes individual roles and responsibilities and provides stable income;

•Annual Bonus Plan: Annual performance bonuses help to incentivize executives to work towards key corporate performance objectives on an annual basis;

•Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Equity compensation, provided in the form of stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units, aligns executives’ interests with our stockholders’ interests, emphasizes long-term financial performance and helps retain executive talent;

•Retention Plan Awards:

◦Appreciation Unit Awards. Annual performance-based payments promote the achievement of key financial performance objectives and reward executives for their contributions toward achieving those objectives;

◦Retention Awards: Retention awards provide for annual payments and help retain executive talent; and

•Other Benefits and Perquisites: Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our health and welfare programs and our retirement programs. Our Israel-based named executive officers also receive other customary or mandatory social benefits in Israel on the same basis as our other full-time Israel-based employees. We also provide certain additional benefits to our named executive officers, which aid in attracting and retaining executive talent.

Each of these elements of compensation is described further below.

Base Salaries

Base salary is a stable fixed component of our compensation program. Our executive compensation program emphasizes performance-based and retention-based compensation over fixed compensation, and our executive base salaries are set at levels intended to provide a reasonable baseline level of compensation that is relatively low compared to comparable companies. On a prospective basis, we intend to continue to evaluate the mix of base salary, short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation to appropriately align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders. Our named executive officers did not receive base salary increases during 2021. Our named executive officers’ base salaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, are reflected in the “2021 Summary Compensation Table” below.

Our Compensation Committee approved the following base salaries for 2022 for our 2021 named executive officers:


Name	Base Salary
Robert Antokol	$	403,500
Craig Abrahams	$	350,000
Ofer Kinberg	$	375,000
Shlomi Aizenberg	$	375,000
Michael Cohen	$	385,000

The foregoing 2022 base salary amounts for our named executive officers Messrs. Antokol, Kinberg and Aizenberg will be paid in NIS and have been converted into U.S. Dollars for this table. For purposes of this table we have used the exchange rate of NIS 3.20 : USD $1.00.

Annual Bonus Plan

We adopted a bonus plan for 2021 pursuant to which annual bonuses will be paid to our executive officers, other than our Chief Executive Officer, based on a pool that is established by the Board upon consideration of “Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA” for 2021. The annual bonus pool is determined by the Board based on its consideration of our results for the applicable year, which bonus pool is then allocated by our Chief Executive Officer in his discretion. The Board determines the bonus for our Chief Executive Officer separately based on its evaluation of overall company and individual performance, which determination is separate from the bonus pool calculations for other employees.

“Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA,” as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure which means the Adjusted EBITDA of our company and its subsidiaries for the applicable calendar year, increased by the payments in respect of awards under the Playtika Holding Corp. Retention Plan for the applicable year, the amount of retention awards to key individuals associated with acquired companies and certain other adjustments.

The Board established threshold, target and maximum achievement levels relative to Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA for 2021, which will result in an annual bonus pool to be allocated to management employees, including the executive officers, by our Chief Executive Officer. Our “target” 2021 Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA was $967,500,000, which would equate to a bonus pool equal to 6.5% of 2021 Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA. Our “threshold” 2021 Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA was set at 85% of “target,” which would result in a total bonus pool equal to 5% of 2021 Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA. Our “maximum” 2021 Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA objective was set at 125% of target, which would result in a total bonus pool equal to 9% of 2021 Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA.

Our 2021 Bonus Plan Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 was $982.7 million, which resulted in an annual bonus pool equal to $64.0 million. Accordingly, in February 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Compensation Committee approved the following 2021 bonuses to our named executive officers: Mr. Abrahams, $319,000; Mr. Kinberg, $750,000; Mr. Aizenberg, $750,000 and Mr. Cohen, $385,000. Additionally, in February 2022, our Board approved an annual bonus payment for Mr. Antokol of $6,000,000 based on its evaluation of overall company performance and Mr. Antokol’s individual performance, in each case, for 2021.

We have adopted a bonus plan for 2022 pursuant to which annual bonuses to our employees, including our named executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, will be paid as determined by our Chief Executive Officer from a bonus pool determined by the Board.

Playtika Holding Corp. 2021-2024 Retention Plan

We maintain the Playtika Holding Corp. 2021-2024 Retention Plan (the “Retention Plan”) to provide certain key employees and consultants of the company and its subsidiaries the right to receive annual cash retention awards and

awards providing an opportunity to participate in the appreciation of the company’s value and in order to retain these key employees and consultants and reward them for contributing to the success of the company and its subsidiaries. The Retention Plan includes performance periods covering calendar years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The Retention Plan is administered by our Chief Executive Officer, who generally has the authority to approve awards under the plan and generally administer the plan. Initial awards were granted under the Retention Plan in August 2019, with subsequent awards to employees or consultants hired or retained after such date granted at the discretion of the administrator.

•Appreciation Unit Awards. Participants in the Retention Plan may be granted a number of notional interests, or “Appreciation Units,” representing a right to receive payment of a proportionate interest of the appreciation pool for each calendar year during the term of the plan. Appreciation Units vest on December 31 of each calendar year during the term of the plan for the applicable one-year performance periods, subject to the participant’s continued service through such vesting date. Upon vesting, a participant receives a cash payment in respect of his or her proportionate share of the annual appreciation pool (based on the total number of Appreciation Units outstanding and eligible for payment as of such date), which payment will be made no later than March 15 following the applicable vesting date. For certain participants, including the named executive officers, 50% of the estimated annual payment is paid to the participant in July of each calendar year based on the estimated total annual appreciation pool for such year, with the remaining portion of the payment due to a participant in respect of his Appreciation Units for the calendar year paid following the end of the year as described above. The Retention Plan provides that a maximum of 200,000 Appreciation Units may be awarded.

The annual appreciation pool under the Retention Plan will be determined as follows:

•For 2021, (A) 14% of the Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for such calendar year, less (B) $25,000,000.

•For 2022, (A) 14.5% of the Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA for such calendar year, less (B) $25,000,000.

•For each of 2023 and 2024, (A) 15.0% of the Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA for such calendar year, less (B) $25,000,000.

For 2021, the appreciation pool under the Retention Plan was equal to (1) 14% multiplied by our Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA for such calendar year, less (2) $25,000,000. Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Retention Plan, or “Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA” means the Adjusted EBITDA of our company and its subsidiaries for the applicable calendar year, increased by the payments in respect of awards under the Retention Plan for the applicable year, the amount of retention awards to key individuals associated with acquired companies and certain other adjustments.

In the event of a change in control prior to December 31, 2024, subject to a participant’s continued service on the date of such change in control (except as described below), a participant will receive a cash payment equal to his or her proportionate share of the net change in control appreciation pool (as described below) (based on the number of Appreciation Units outstanding and eligible for payment in respect of such change in control), with such amount referred to as the CIC Eligible Appreciation Amount. Except as otherwise provided in the Retention Plan or in the applicable award agreement, a participant’s CIC Eligible Appreciation Amount shall be paid in cash in four equal annual installments commencing on December 31 of the calendar year in which such change in control occurs, subject to continued service on each payment date. In the event a participant is terminated by the company without cause, resigns for good reason, or is terminated by reason of his or her death or disability (each, as defined in the Retention Plan), in each case following such change in control, the CIC Eligible Appreciation Amount will be paid within 60 days following such termination. Certain participants, including the named executive officers, will be paid their CIC Eligible Appreciation Amount in a lump sum within 30 days following the change in control.

The net change in control appreciation pool will be equal to (1) an amount equal to 12% of the net transaction proceeds received by the company undergoing the change in control (as further defined in the Retention Plan) less (2) the unpaid portion of the total retention pool under the Retention Plan as of such date. For purposes of the Retention Plan, “net transaction proceeds” is determined by either (i) the fair market value of the net consideration to be paid to the equity holders (on a fully diluted basis) in such change in control, or (ii) in the event of the sale, license or other disposition of our assets that constitutes a change in control, the aggregate value of any consideration that would be received by our equity holders if we were liquidated immediately following the consummation of such sale, license or other disposition, in each case, plus debt, plus cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and less transaction expenses, subject to certain adjustments.

Under the Retention Plan, a change in control will not be deemed to have occurred unless the net transaction proceeds (calculated prior to giving effect to the calculation of the amounts payable under the Retention Plan) are equal to or greater than $3.0 billion.

In October 2020, 43,000 Appreciation Units held by Mr. Antokol under the Retention Plan were cancelled. Pursuant to an amendment to the Retention Plan adopted in October 2020, these cancelled Appreciation Units formerly held by Mr. Antokol will be considered “retired units” for purposes of the plan and will be deemed to be outstanding and eligible for payment solely for purposes of determining the per unit value to be paid to participants, but no amounts will be paid to Mr. Antokol or otherwise with respect to such retired units.

•Retention Awards. Retention Awards are provided to eligible employees and consultants as an incentive to remain in service with the company during the four-year term of the Retention Plan. Each participant may be awarded a number of notional interests, each, a “Retention Unit”, with each Retention Unit representing a right to receive payment of his or her proportionate interest of the annual retention pool for each such calendar year. A total of 100,000 Retention Units are authorized for issuance under the Retention Plan. Each annual retention pool under the 2021-2024 Retention Plan will be $25,000,000. Such Retention Units vest on December 31 of each calendar year during the term of the plan, commencing December 31, 2021, subject to the participant’s continued service through such vesting date. Upon vesting, a participant receives a cash payment in respect of his or her proportionate share of the annual retention pool (based on the number of Retention Units outstanding and eligible for payment as of such date), which payment will be made no later than the last day of the calendar month following the applicable vesting date. For certain participants, including the named executive officers, 50% of the estimated annual payment is paid to the participant in July of each calendar year based on the annual retention pool, with the remaining portion of the payment due to a participant in respect of his Retention Units for the calendar year paid following the end of the year as described above.

In the event of a change in control prior to December 31, 2024, subject to a participant’s continued service on the date of such change in control (except as described below), a participant will receive a cash payment equal to his or her proportionate share of the unpaid portion of the total retention pool for the remaining term of the Retention Plan as of the date of the change in control (less any deductions for prior payouts to terminated participants) (based on the number of Retention Units outstanding and eligible for payment as of such date), with such amount referred to as the CIC Eligible Retention Amount. The CIC Eligible Retention Amount will be paid to participants pursuant to the same schedule and subject to the same accelerated payment terms as the CIC Eligible Appreciation Amount described above. Certain participants, including the named executive officers, will be paid their CIC Eligible Retention Amount in a lump sum within 30 days following the change in control.

•Effect of Termination of Service. For certain participants, in the event of the participant’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason, or termination by reason of death or disability, he or she will be eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to his or her proportionate share (based on the number of Retention Units outstanding and eligible for payment as of such date) of the unpaid portion of the total retention pool for the remaining term of the Retention Plan as of the date of termination, which

amount shall be paid in cash within 60 days following the date of termination. In the event of such a termination, such participant will also remain eligible to receive payments in respect of his or her Appreciation Units for all vesting dates that have not yet occurred prior to the date of such termination, which payments will be made as and when such payments are made to other Appreciation Unit holders.

For all other participants, in the event of termination due to death or disability on or after January 1, 2021, but prior to December 31, 2024, the participant will receive a payment in respect of his or her proportionate share (based on the number of Retention Units outstanding and eligible for payment as of such date) of the unpaid portion of the total retention pool for the remaining term of the Retention Plan as of the date of termination, pro-rated for the portion of the period between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2024 that has elapsed prior to termination, payable within 60 days following termination. In addition, the participant will retain the right to receive payments for a pro-rated portion of his or her Appreciation Units for all vesting dates that have not yet occurred prior to the date of such termination, which payments will be made as and when such payments are made to other Appreciation Unit holders.

All payments triggered by a termination of employment or service will be subject to the execution of a general release of claims in favor of the company. If a participant terminates service for any reason other than as described above, the participant will immediately forfeit all unvested Retention Units and Appreciation Units.

Named Executive Officer Awards Under the Retention Plan

The following table shows the outstanding awards held by our named executive officers under the Retention Plan as of December 31, 2021. None of our named executive officers received additional awards under the Retention Plan in 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, a total of 90,300 Retention Units and 140,445 Appreciation Units were outstanding under the Retention Plan (which does not include the 43,000 Appreciation Units previously held by Mr. Antokol under the Retention Plan that were cancelled in October 2020, but which continue to be treated as outstanding and eligible for payment, although no payments will be made with respect to such cancelled units).

Our Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 was $982.7 million resulting in an appreciation pool of $112.7 million. In addition to that amount, we had $25.0 million of retention payments per the plan. The amounts earned by our named executive officers for 2021 with respect to their Retention Units and Appreciation Units under the Retention Plan are shown in the “2021 Summary Compensation Table” below.


	Retention Plan
Name		Retention Units (#)	Appreciation Units (#)
Robert Antokol		45,000	43,000	(1)
Craig Abrahams		7,000	8,260
Ofer Kinberg		7,000	8,260
Shlomi Aizenberg		7,000	8,260
Michael Cohen		3,500	4,130

(1) In October 2020, 43,000 Appreciation Units held by Mr. Antokol under the Retention Plan were cancelled. However, for purposes of determining future payouts with respect to Appreciation Units under the Retention Plan, these cancelled units will continue to be treated as outstanding and eligible for payment, although no payments will be made with respect to such cancelled units.

IPO Bonuses

On February 8, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved discretionary transaction bonuses to three of the Company’s named executive officers, Robert Antokol, Craig Abrahams and Michael Cohen, in the amounts of $16,575,000, $5,250,000 and $3,5000,000, respectively, in recognition of their efforts in connection with the Company’s successful completion of its initial public offering on January 20, 2021.

Equity Compensation

We view equity-based compensation as a critical component of our balanced total compensation program going forward as a public company. Equity-based compensation creates an ownership culture among our employees that provides an incentive to contribute to the continued growth and development of our business and aligns the interests of executives with those of our stockholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Compensation Committee, from time to time may grant equity incentive awards covering shares of our common stock to our named executive officers and will review their equity incentive compensation going forward.

None of the Company’s named executive officers received equity awards in fiscal 2021.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

Our named executive officers are provided with certain enhanced benefits to aid in the performance of their respective duties and to provide competitive compensation with executives with similar positions and levels of responsibilities. Each of our named executive officers is provided with a cell phone allowance. Each of our full-time employees is eligible to receive certain other modest annual benefits which include a wellness benefit of up to $560 per employee per year. In 2021, Messrs. Abrahams and Cohen elected to receive the wellness benefit. Our executives in Israel may also receive annual holiday gifts from us, a food allowance and the ability to participate in a company-sponsored camp for our employees’ children, each of which is a benefit we provide to all of our Israel-based employees.

We also provide security for Mr. Antokol and his family. The decision to provide Mr. Antokol with the personal security benefit was prompted by the results of an analysis provided by an independent professional consulting firm specializing in executive safety and security. Based on these results, the Board approved personal security services to Mr. Antokol and his family. We also maintain a corporate aircraft that is used primarily for business travel by our executive officers. The Board, based on the foregoing executive safety and security analysis, has determined that Mr. Antokol will be required to use our corporate aircraft for all travel (or otherwise via private air travel), including non-business travel. During 2021, Mr. Antokol reimbursed the company for the full incremental cost to the company of any personal aircraft use. On occasion, our executive officers may have family members and other guests accompany them on our corporate aircraft when traveling on business, but we do not incur any incremental cost as a result of such family or guest travel.

Tax Gross-Ups. Pursuant to Messrs. Abrahams and Cohen’s award agreements under the Retention Plan and our 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”), in the event a change in control occurs and an excise tax is imposed by reason of the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of any compensatory payments made to Messrs. Abrahams and Cohen under such arrangements in connection with such change in control, each executive will be entitled to an additional “gross-up” payment in an amount equal to any such excise tax plus any taxes resulting from such payments. Additionally, from time to time, we make gross up payments to cover the personal income taxes for Messrs. Antokol, Kinberg and Aizenberg with respect to taxable income recognized by them as a result of company-paid holiday-related gifts, health insurance, and costs associated with company-paid business meetings that are taxable under Israeli law, as well as their children’s participation in a company-sponsored camp, as detailed in the footnotes to the “2021 Summary Compensation Table” below.

Retirement and Other Benefits

Health and Welfare Benefits for U.S. Employees. All of our full-time U.S. employees, including our U.S.-based named executive officers Messrs. Abrahams and Cohen, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans on the same basis, including:

• medical, dental and vision benefits;

• medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts;

• short-term and long-term disability insurance; and

• life and accidental death and disability insurance.

U.S. 401(k) Plan. Our U.S.-based employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements are also eligible to participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan. The Internal Revenue Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. Currently, we match contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan up to a specified percentage of the employee contributions, and these matching contributions are subject to a three-year vesting schedule. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan, and making matching contributions, adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.

Benefits to Israeli Employees. Generally, benefits available to our Israel-based employees are available to all Israel-based employees on the same basis, which include welfare benefits, annual vacation leave, sick leave, convalescence pay, military duty leave, transportation expense reimbursement, advanced study fund, life and disability insurance and other customary or mandatory social benefits in Israel. We make monthly contributions to funds administered by financial institutions for certain pension and severance liabilities on behalf of each of our Israel-based employees, including our Israel-based named executive officers, subject to certain conditions. The amount of these contributions is based on a percentage of the employee’s salary, taking into account any base salary thresholds under Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law—1963. Generally, company contributions to a pension insurance policy, manager’s insurance policy and/or pension fund, or a combination (based on the employee’s personal choice), up to a total of 14.83% of an employee’s determining salary, or applicable portion thereof, of which up to 8.33% is a severance pay component contributed to a severance fund (applying the arrangement in accordance with Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law—1963), and up to 6.5% of which is applied to compensatory payments. These severance contributions under Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law—1963 satisfy in full our statutory severance pay obligation for our Israel-based employees. The compensatory payment component is applied to fund pension and/or disability benefits for the employee. Our Israel-based employees make a corresponding contribution of up to 6% of their salary.

Severance Benefits

We are party to employment agreements with our Israel-based named executive officers. Mr. Antokol’s employment agreement provides for severance benefits upon his qualifying termination. In addition, all of our Israel-based named executive officers are entitled to severance pay upon termination of employment for any reason, including retirement, according to Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law—1963. We make a contribution on a monthly basis for each of our Israel-based employees, including our Israel-based named executive officers, of 8.33% of their monthly salary to a severance fund for this purpose. Section 14 states that company’s contributions for severance pay shall be in lieu of severance compensation and, upon release of the policy to the employee, no additional obligations shall be conducted between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by the company to the employee unless otherwise specified in a written agreement between the company and the employee.

A description of these arrangements is set forth under “—Employment Agreements” below, and information on the estimated payments and benefits that our named executive officers would have been eligible to receive as of December 31, 2021, is set forth in “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Governance, Tax and Accounting Considerations

As a general matter, the Board reviews and considers the various tax and accounting implications of compensation programs we utilize.

Ownership Guidelines. In addition to the elements of executive officer compensation described below, we have adopted stock ownership guidelines pursuant to which our executive officers are required to hold a number of shares of our common stock having a market value equal to or greater than a multiple of each executive’s base salary. Each officer must achieve ownership of the required market value of shares within three years of becoming subject to the guidelines. Common stock, common stock beneficially owned by the officer and RSUs count towards the requirement, but shares the officer has a right to acquire through exercising stock options (whether or not vested) are not counted. In addition, unearned performance-based awards are not counted as ownership for purposes of measuring compliance with the guidelines. Our stock ownership guidelines are as follows:

Ownership Requirement as a

Executive

Multiple of Base Salary

Robert Antokol

All other executive officers

As of the date hereof, each of our executive officers met the stock ownership requirements.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly-traded corporation a federal income tax deduction for remuneration in excess of $1 million per year per person paid to executives designated in Section 162(m) of the Code, including, but not limited to, its chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and the next three highly compensated executive officers. However, we believe that maintaining the discretion to provide compensation that is non-deductible allows us to provide compensation tailored to the needs of our company and our named executive officers and is an important part of our responsibilities and benefits our stockholders.

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation. We account for share-based payments, including our long-term equity incentive program, in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718.

Risk Considerations. In establishing and reviewing our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers whether the program encourages unnecessary or excessive risk-taking and has concluded that it does not. See the section entitled “Corporate Governance–Role of the Board in Risk Oversight” above for an additional discussion of risk considerations.

Prohibition on Hedging, Pledging, and Short Sales. We prohibit our directors, officers, employees, and their family members from engaging in transactions using derivative securities, short selling our securities, trading in any puts, calls or covered calls, writing purchase or call options and short sales, or otherwise participating in hedging, “stop loss,” or other speculative transactions involving our securities. In addition, margin purchases of our securities and pledging any of our securities as collateral to secure loans is prohibited. See the section entitled “Corporate Governance–Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies” above for an additional discussion of our anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies.

Pension and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

None of our named executive officers participated in any pension or non-qualified deferred compensation plans during 2021.

Employment Agreements

We are a party to employment agreements with each of Messrs. Antokol, Aizenberg and Kinberg, as described below. Any potential payments and benefits due upon a termination of employment or a change in control under the employment agreements with our named executive officers are quantified below in “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Robert Antokol Employment Agreement

In December 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert Antokol, our Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement, as amended, is not for any specific term and may be terminated by either party upon six months’ prior written notice, or immediately by us for cause.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Antokol is entitled to the annual base salary described above, which was increased from time to time. Mr. Antokol is also entitled to a monthly transportation allowance, as required by Israeli law and provided to all full-time Israeli employees on the same basis, and use of a company cell phone. We also make monthly contributions on Mr. Antokol’s behalf to funds administered by financial institutions for certain pension, severance and disability benefits and certain non-obligatory contributions to an education fund for Mr. Antokol, as further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Retirement and Other Benefits—Benefits to Israeli Employees.” In the event that Mr. Antokol’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, he will be entitled to receive all amounts accrued in the fund or policy to which the company’s severance contributions were paid during his employment. In addition, in the event we terminate Mr. Antokol’s employment other than for cause, or he resigns for good reason, in each case as defined in his employment agreement, we will be obligated to pay to him a lump sum cash payment equal to six months’ base salary.

Mr. Antokol’s employment agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Israel. In connection with his employment agreement, Mr. Antokol also executed a confidentiality, unfair competition and intellectual property assignment agreement, which contains non-solicitation and non-competition covenants (each of which remains in effect during the term of employment and for a period of 12 months following termination of employment) and confidentiality and assignment of invention covenants.

For purposes of Mr. Antokol’s employment agreement, “cause” means (1) his willful failure to substantially perform his duties or to follow a lawful, reasonable directive from the Board (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Board which specifically identifies the failure and such failure continues for a reasonable time thereafter, (2) his willful act of fraud, embezzlement or theft, (3) his admission in any court, or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony (excluding offenses with respect traffic violations), (4) a finding that he is unsuitable for a gaming license or that his gaming license should be denied or revoked by the gaming regulatory authorities (5) his willful and material violation of, or noncompliance with, any securities laws or stock exchange listing rules, provided that such violation or noncompliance resulted in material economic harm to us or our affiliates, or (6) if the Board, in good faith, believes that he is or might be engaged in or is about to be engaged in any activity or activities which could adversely affect our business, after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to by the Board which specifically identifies such activity and his failure to demonstrate that he is not engaged in such activity.

For purposes of Mr. Antokol’s employment agreement, “good reason” means the occurrence, described in a written notice of termination of employment to us from Mr. Antokol, of any of the following circumstances without his express prior written consent, unless such circumstances are fully corrected to his full satisfaction within 30 days following delivery of such written notice: (1) a reduction by us in his annual base salary or other benefits; (2) our requiring him to be based anywhere more than 60 kilometers from his existing primary business location, (3) our failure to pay him any portion of his compensation within ten days of the date on which such compensation is due, (4) a material diminution of his duties or responsibilities, or (5) our material breach of his employment agreement which is not cured within 30 days following written notice by him to us of such breach.

Employment Agreements with Other Named Executive Officers

In May 2011 and December 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with each of Ofer Kinberg, our Chief Revenue Officer, and Shlomi Aizenberg, our Chief Operating Officer, respectively. Each executive’s employment agreement is not for any specific term and may be terminated by either party upon 30 days’ prior written notice, or immediately by us for cause.

Pursuant to each executive’s employment agreement, Messrs. Aizenberg and Kinberg are entitled to the annual base salary described above, which were increased from time to time. Each executive is also entitled to a monthly transportation allowance, as required by Israeli law and provided to all full-time Israeli employees on the same basis, and use of a company cell phone. We also make monthly contributions on each executive’s behalf to funds administered by financial institutions for certain pension, severance and disability benefits and certain non-obligatory contributions to an education fund for each executive, as further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Retirement and Other Benefits—Benefits to Israeli Employees.” In the event that an executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, the executive will be entitled to receive all amounts accrued in the executive’s fund or policy to which the company’s severance contributions were paid during his employment, which payment is intended to satisfy the company’s obligations under Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law—1963.

Each of Messrs. Aizenberg and Kinberg’s employment agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Israel. In connection with their employment agreements, each executive also executed a confidentiality, inventions, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, which contains non-solicitation and non-competition covenants (each of which remains in effect during the term of employment and for a period of six months (12 months for Mr. Kinberg’s non-competition covenant) following termination of employment) and confidentiality and assignment of invention covenants.

For purposes of Messrs. Aizenberg and Kinberg’s employment agreement, “cause” means (1) his commission of a criminal offense, (2) his breach of duties of trust or loyalty to the company, (3) his material breach of the employment agreement which has not been cured within 15 days after receipt of notice from the company containing a description of such breach, (4) his cause of harm to the company’s business affairs, (5) his breach of

any of the provisions of the confidentiality, inventions, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, and/or (6) circumstances that constitute “cause” or do not entitle him to severance payments under any applicable law and/or under any judicial decision of a competent tribunal.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The table below quantifies certain compensation and benefits that would have become payable to each of our named executive officers if his or her employment had terminated on December 31, 2021, as a result of each of the termination scenarios described below, or in the event of a change in control of the company on December 31, 2021. The severance funds provided to our Israel-based named executive officers under the third-party severance funds to which the company contributes under applicable law, as described above under “—Employment Agreements,” are not included in the table below as those benefits are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to all Israel-based employees.

__________

(1) Represents six months base salary for Mr. Antokol payable upon our termination of his employment other than for cause or his resignation for good reason under his employment agreement, payable in a lump sum. The amount reflected in this column is based on Mr. Antokol’s base salary for 2021 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

(2) Represents the aggregate value of the accelerated vesting of the RSU awards granted to Mr. Antokol in October 2020, calculated by multiplying the fair market value of our common stock by the number of RSUs, the vesting of which accelerates in connection with the applicable triggering event. The RSUs will vest on an accelerated basis as follows: (a) in the event of Mr. Antokol’s termination by us without “cause” or his resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in the 2020 Plan), (b) in the event of his death, (c) in the event of his disability, or (d) upon a change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan), subject (in the case of clauses (a) through (c)) to the execution by Mr. Antokol and the effectiveness of a general release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to us. The value in the table above assumes a fair market value per share of $17.29, which is the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2021.

(3) The value attributable to the accelerated options represents the excess of the fair market value of our common stock over the exercise price of the unvested options ($18.71 per share) the vesting of which accelerates in connection with the specified event. As of December 31, 2021, all of the options held by our named executive officers had exercise prices in excess of the closing price per share of our common stock on such date ($17.29). As a result, no values are reported in this column. The options granted to the named executive officers will vest on an accelerated basis as follows: (a) in the event of the executive’s Qualifying Termination, such number of shares subject to the option will vest on the date of such Qualifying Termination as is equal to the number of shares subject to the option that are scheduled to vest on or prior to the first anniversary of the executive’s termination (provided, however, that in the event such termination occurs prior to the date on which 50% of the shares subject to the option are vested, in no event shall less than 50% of the shares subject to the option be vested as a result of such Qualifying Termination after giving effect to the acceleration pursuant to this clause (a)); and (b) in the event of an executive’s Qualifying Termination within three months prior to, on, or after a change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan), all of the shares subject to the option shall vest on the later of (1) the date of such Qualifying Termination or (2) the date of such change in control, in each case, subject to the execution by the executive and the effectiveness of a general release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to us.

(4) Represents the expected amounts payable in respect of each named executive officer’s Retention Units upon the applicable triggering event. In the event of a named executive officer’s death or disability, or termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case prior to a change in control, a named executive officer will receive a payment equal to his proportionate share of any unpaid portion of the aggregate retention pool for any year not yet completed under the Retention Plan in a lump sum within 60 days following such termination. Upon a change in control occurring on December 31, 2021, provided a named executive officer had not experienced a termination of employment prior to such date, a named executive officer would receive a payment equal to his proportionate share of any unpaid portion of the retention pool under the Retention Plan in a lump sum within 30 days following such change in control. The named executive officers vested in the payments for 2021 in respect of their Retention Units under the Retention Plan on December 31, 2021, so those amounts are not included in the table above. We have calculated each named executive officer’s expected payments in respect of his Retention Units based on the number of expected outstanding Retention Units under the Retention Plan as of December 31, 2021, that would have been eligible for payment on such date under the circumstances described in the table. The named executive officers must comply with a one-year non-compete provision and execute a release of claims in order to receive the foregoing Retention Plan benefits.

(5) Represents the amounts payable in respect of each named executive officer’s Appreciation Units upon the applicable triggering event. In the event of a named executive officer’s death or disability, or termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case prior to a change in control, a named executive

officer will remain eligible to receive payments in respect of his or her Appreciation Units in accordance with the terms of the Retention Plan for any year not yet completed. With respect to the value of the Appreciation Units under the Retention Plan payable in the event of a named executive officer’s death or disability, or termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case prior to a change in control, the amount reflected in the table above was calculated by assuming that the Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Retention Plan for each of 2022, 2023 and 2024 is equal to the Retention Plan Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 ($982,700,000) multiplied by 14.5%, 15% and 15%, respectively, less $25,000,000 in each case, and that the outstanding number of Appreciation Units eligible for payment remains unchanged from the number of units outstanding at December 31, 2021, although the payments ultimately paid to the named executive officers for 2022, 2023 and 2024 would be based on the final appreciation pool for such year and the units eligible for payment at the end of the applicable year.

Upon a change in control occurring on December 31, 2021, provided a named executive officer had not experienced a termination of employment prior to such date, a named executive officer would have received a payout of his or her proportionate share of the change in control appreciation pool determined under the Retention Plan in a lump sum within 30 days following such change in control.

The named executive officers vested in the payments for 2021 in respect of their Appreciation Units under the Retention Plan on December 31, 2021, so those amounts are not included in the table above. We have calculated each named executive officer’s payments in respect of his Appreciation Units based on the number of outstanding Appreciation Units under the Retention Plan as of December 31, 2021, that were eligible for payment on such date under the circumstances described in the table. In October 2020, 43,000 Appreciation Units held by Mr. Antokol under the Retention Plan were cancelled, however these cancelled Appreciation Units will be considered “retired units” for purposes of the Retention Plan and will be deemed to be outstanding and eligible for payment solely for purposes of determining the per unit value to be paid to participants, but no amounts will be paid to Mr. Antokol or otherwise with respect to such retired units.

For purposes of this table, with respect to the value of the Appreciation Units payable upon a change in control occurring on December 31, 2021, the change in control appreciation pool under the Retention Plan was calculated assuming “net transaction proceeds” in such change in control (as such term is defined in the Retention Plan) of $10,880,458,205, calculated by multiplying the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2021 ($17.29), multiplied by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of such date (calculated on a fully diluted basis to include all outstanding stock options and RSUs as of such date (less the aggregate exercise price per share of such stock options)), plus outstanding debt on December 31, 2021 ($2,485,800,000), plus the amount of cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2021 ($1,117,100,000), less transaction expenses (estimated for purposes of this table at $27,000,000).

(6) Upon a change in control, certain payments made to Messrs. Abrahams and Cohen under the Retention Plan could be subject to the excise tax imposed on “excess parachute payments” by the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to their award agreements under the Retention Plan and the 2020 Plan, Messrs. Abrahams and Cohen are eligible for reimbursement for a gross-up payment for any excise taxes payable pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code arising as a result of the receipt of benefits and payments under the Retention Plan and the 2020 Plan (and any federal, state and local taxes applicable to such gross-up payment (including any penalties and interest)). For Messrs. Abrahams and Cohen, this column includes the estimated amount of reimbursement for excise taxes payable pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code arising as a result of the receipt of benefits and payments as a result of the applicable triggering event, and such estimated amount is based on the assumptions noted above for the expected amounts payable upon the applicable triggering event. The estimates of “excess parachute payments” for purposes of these calculations do not take into account any mitigation for payments which could be shown (under the facts and circumstances) not to be contingent on a change in control or for any payments being made in consideration of noncompetition agreements or as reasonable compensation. Based on the assumptions noted above, Mr. Abrahams would not be subject to an excise tax payable pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code arising as a result of the receipt

of benefits and payments under the Retention Plan and the 2020 Plan as a result of the applicable triggering event occurring on December 31, 2021.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship of the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee (“Median Compensated Employee”) to the annual total compensation of Robert Antokol, our CEO. We consider the pay ratio specified below to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

For 2021, our last completed fiscal year:

•the annual total compensation of our Median Compensated Employee, calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, was $69,325; and

•the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included above, was $63,123,469.

Based on this information, for 2021, our CEO’s annual total compensation was approximately 911 times that of the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than the CEO). In identifying our Median Compensated Employee for our fiscal 2021 CEO pay ratio, we used “base salary” compensation, which was consistently applied to all of our employees included in the calculation. “Base salary” compensation consists of base salary as reported in our payroll data through December 31, 2021. “Base salary” compensation of our employees outside the U.S. were converted to U.S. dollars by taking the aggregate salary for a month in the local currency and converting that amount to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for such month for the applicable currency as published at https://x-rates.com and aggregating such converted amounts for all twelve months in fiscal 2021. In identifying our Median Compensated Employee, we annualized base salary for all full-time and part-time employees who did not work the full 2021 fiscal year. Base salary for temporary employees was not annualized.

To identify our Median Compensated Employee for fiscal 2021, we used our global employee population effective on December 31, 2021. As of this date, our employee population was approximately 4,100 employees. This total includes all full-time, part-time and temporary employees with no exclusions.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

The Board has adopted a written related person transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any fiscal year and a related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and

employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section occurred prior to the adoption of this policy.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of April 12, 2022, by:

•each person or group of affiliated persons known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock;

•each of our named executive officers;

•each of our directors; and

•all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial” owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the individuals and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, subject to the terms of the equity plan stockholders agreement and any applicable community property laws.

Percentage ownership of our common stock is based on 412,171,228 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 12, 2022. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or that will become exercisable within 60 days of April 12, 2022, are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless noted otherwise, the address of each beneficial owner is c/o Playtika Ltd. HaChoshlim St 8, Herzliya Pituach, Israel.

In connection with its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee assesses the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm on an annual basis. In conducting its assessment, the Audit Committee considers various audit quality indicators including firm reputation, support, competency and service by the engagement team, including industry expertise, management’s input as to the firm’s technical expertise and knowledge; and quality and breadth of services provided relative to the cost of those services.

The results of this assessment were taken into consideration when determining whether to reappoint Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, for the year ending December 31, 2022. Based on its evaluation, the Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the company.

The fees billed to us for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, our independent registered public accounting firm, are as follows:

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee’s charter provides that the Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided to the company. Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures for permitted non-audit services. The Audit Committee considers each engagement on a case-by-case basis according to certain required criteria, including the skill set necessary for the engagement and ensuring the engagement should not involve work that would result in our registered public accounting firm eventually auditing its own work. The Audit Committee is regularly updated on the status of all outstanding engagements. If we anticipate that the fees for specific engagements may exceed the amount initially approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee will consider proposals to increase the fees for such engagements on a case-by-case basis. All of the services performed by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, in 2021 were approved in advance by the Audit Committee pursuant to the foregoing pre-approval policy and procedures.

Audit Committee Report

The primary role of the Audit Committee is to appoint, retain, and oversee our independent registered public accounting firm, which is currently Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, and to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee’s roles and responsibilities are more fully described in its charter, which is available in the investors section of our corporate website at www.playtika.com.

The Audit Committee has also considered whether Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer’s preparation of tax returns, tax consulting services, and other non-audit services to Playtika is compatible with maintaining its independence.

Based on the review of the Audit Committee and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Playtika’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for filing with the SEC.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 9, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. This year’s Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, conducted via live audio webcast at www.proxydocs.com/PLTK.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

To attend the virtual Annual Meeting, log in at www.proxydocs.com/PLTK and register in advance. Following registration, you will receive instructions regarding virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting and how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, along with your unique link to attend the Annual Meeting, via email. Stockholders will need their unique control number which appears on the Notice (printed in the shaded box) and the instructions that accompanied the Proxy Materials. If your shares of common stock are held by a bank, broker or other holder of record, and you do not have a control number, please contact your broker, bank, or other holder of record as soon as possible, so that you can be provided with a control number and register to gain access to the Annual Meeting.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders as of the close of business on the record date, April 12, 2022, will consider and vote upon:

•The election of seven director nominees named in this Proxy Statement to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify;

•The ratification of the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022;

•A non-binding advisory proposal to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement (also known as the “say-on-pay” vote); and

•The transaction of such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of our common stock at the close of business on April 12, 2022, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 412,171,228 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

How will I receive my Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting?

Beginning on or about April 28, 2022, Proxy Materials (including the Proxy Statement, proxy card, and Annual Report) for the Annual Meeting will be sent via e-mail or mail to our stockholders of record in accordance with their preference if indicated previously. If a preference has not been specified, we will either mail to those stockholders our Proxy Materials or a Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) which contains instructions on how to access our materials by mail, e-mail, or on the Internet.

In accordance with the SEC notice and access rule, the Notice allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need to vote through various means, while lowering the costs of print and delivery and reducing the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. The Notice is not a proxy and may not be used to authorize a proxy to vote your shares. If you receive a Notice this year, you will not receive paper copies of the Proxy Materials unless you request the materials by following the instructions on the Notice or by accessing the website identified on the Notice.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record or as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock & Transfer Company, LLC, you are considered a “stockholder of record.” This year we have engaged the services of Mediant Communications Inc. to mail our Proxy Materials or Notice to our registered holders.

If your shares are held by a bank, in a brokerage account, or other holder of record, you are considered a “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. The Proxy Materials or Notice may be forwarded to you by your bank, broker, or other holder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker, or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by following their instructions for authorizing your proxy.

Is it necessary to vote if my shares are held in my brokerage account?

It is important to vote your shares even if your shares are held in a brokerage account. Otherwise, your shares may not be voted on certain matters unless you provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other holder of record. If you are unsure, please vote your shares using the voting information provided.

How do I vote?

You may vote or authorize a proxy to vote using any of the following methods:

By Internet

By Telephone

By Mail

Virtual Meeting Access

Vote your shares by logging onto and voting at the virtual Annual Meeting at www.proxydocs.com/PLTK by following the instructions provided to you via email after completing the registration procedures described on the website. Please note that you must register on the website in advance of the Annual Meeting to be able to attend and vote your shares. You may also be represented by another person at the Annual Meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person as your representative. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you will need your unique control number, which appears on the instructions that accompanied the Proxy Materials.

How does the Board recommend I vote on the proposals?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

•Proposal 1: FOR the election to the Board of the seven nominees listed in this Proxy Statement;

•Proposal 2: FOR the ratification of the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022; and

•Proposal 3: FOR the say-on-pay vote.

What happens if I do not indicate my voting preferences?

If you are a stockholder of record and you sign and submit your proxy card or authorize your proxy by telephone or Internet, but do not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares represented by that proxy consistent with the recommendations of the Board, which are as follows:

•Proposal 1: FOR the election to the Board of the seven nominees listed in this Proxy Statement;

•Proposal 3: FOR the say-on-pay vote.

On any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares represented by that proxy in their discretion.

If you hold your shares through a broker and do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your broker is not permitted to vote your shares on “non-routine” matters, including the election of directors and the say-on-pay vote, but is permitted to vote your shares on “routine” matters, including the proposal regarding ratification of the appointment of our auditor.

May I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by doing one of the following:

•delivering to our Corporate Secretary a written notice of revocation (the contact information for our Corporate Secretary is provided below);

•signing and returning to our Corporate Secretary a proxy bearing a later date;

•authorizing another proxy by telephone or on the Internet (your most recent telephone or Internet authorization will be used); or

•logging onto and voting at the virtual Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other holder of record, you may change your voting instructions by following the instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other holder of record.

Your attendance at the virtual Annual Meeting will not by itself be sufficient to revoke a proxy unless you log onto and vote at the virtual Annual Meeting or give written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary before the polls are closed. Any written notice revoking a proxy should be sent to Michael Cohen, our Corporate Secretary, at our corporate offices at c/o Playtika Ltd., HaChoshlim St 8, Herzliya Pituach, Israel, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

What are the quorum and voting requirements on the four proposals mentioned in this Proxy Statement?

The presence in person or by proxy of the number of shares of our common stock representing a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on any matter will constitute a

quorum. Shares are considered “in person” if voted by the holder of those shares during the virtual Annual Meeting. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when there are both routine and non-routine matters on the proxy card, and the broker marks a vote on the routine matter (either as instructed by the client or, if not instructed, in the broker’s discretion) and crosses out those non-routine matters on which it has no voting authority without the client’s instruction.

The following outlines the vote required and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes for each proposal at the Annual Meeting:

•Proposal 1 relates to the election of the director nominees. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that, since stockholders will be electing seven directors, the seven director nominees receiving the highest number of votes “FOR” will be elected. You may either vote “FOR,” or to “WITHHOLD” a vote from, each nominee for the Board. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote your shares for director nominees. An abstention or a broker non-vote will not count as a vote cast “FOR” or to “WITHHOLD” a vote from, a nominee’s election and thus will have no effect in determining whether a director nominee has received a plurality of the votes cast.

•The affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the shares present and entitled to vote is required for approval of Proposal 2 (Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors). You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on Proposal 2. An abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes are not expected to result from this proposal since as a beneficial owner, your bank, broker, or other holder of record is permitted to vote your shares even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you.

•The affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the shares present and entitled to vote is required for approval of Proposal 3 (Say-On-Pay Vote). You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on Proposal 3. An abstention or a broker non-vote will not count as a vote cast and thus will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote your shares for the say-on-pay vote.

Will any other business be conducted during the Annual Meeting?

The Board does not know of any matters to be presented during the meeting other than those mentioned in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is intended that the proxies will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the person or persons voting the proxies. If you are a beneficial owner, your bank, broker, or other holder of record may not vote your shares on any contested stockholder proposal without instructions from you.

If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent convening or resumption of the Annual Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as such proxies would have been voted at the Annual Meeting as originally convened (except for any proxies that have effectively been revoked or withdrawn).

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Mediant Communications Inc. will tabulate the votes and act as inspector of election.

May I access the Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and Annual Report on the Internet?

Prior to the day of the Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement (which includes the Notice of Annual Meeting) and our 2021 Annual Report are available in the investors section of our corporate website at www.playtika.com. You may also view these materials at www.proxydocs.com/PLTK.

Who bears the cost of soliciting proxies?

We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from our stockholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, employees, and agents may solicit proxies by telephone, Internet, or otherwise. These directors, officers, and employees will not be additionally compensated for the solicitation but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage firms, fiduciaries, and other custodians who hold shares of our common stock of record for beneficial owners for forwarding to such beneficial owners. We may also reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding such materials.

Stockholders who authorize their proxies through the Internet should be aware that they may incur costs to access the Internet, such as usage charges from telephone companies or Internet service providers and these costs must be borne by the stockholder.

Stockholder Proposals for our 2023

Annual Meeting

In order for a stockholder proposal otherwise satisfying the eligibility requirements of SEC Rule 14a-8 to be considered for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, it must be received by us at our principal office, Playtika Ltd., HaChoshlim St 8, Herzliya Pituach, Israel, Attn: Corporate Secretary, on or before December 27, 2022.

For an eligible stockholder or group of stockholders to bring business (including director nominations) at our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to our Bylaws, such eligible stockholder or group of stockholders must comply with the then current advance notice requirements in our Bylaws and deliver the proposal to our Corporate Secretary between February 9, 2023 and March 11, 2023 in order for such proposal to be considered timely. In addition, our Bylaws require the eligible stockholder or group of stockholders to update and supplement such information as of specified dates. For additional requirements, a stockholder may refer to our current Bylaws, a copy of which may be obtained from our Corporate Secretary upon request and without charge. See “Communications with the Board” for contact information. If we do not receive timely notice pursuant to our Bylaws, the proposal will be excluded from consideration at the meeting.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our organizational documents, to comply with the universal proxy rules (once they become effective), stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 10, 2023.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This Proxy Statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Proxy Statement, the words “estimated”, “anticipated”, “expect”, “believe”, “intend” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include discussions of strategy, plans or intentions of management. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about Playtika, and future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Proxy Statement. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Proxy Statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Householding of Proxy Materials

SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of banks and brokers with account holders that are our stockholders will be householding our proxy materials. A single Proxy Statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. If you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate Proxy Statement and annual report, please notify your bank or broker and direct

your written request to Investor Relations, at ir@playtika.com. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Proxy Statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank or broker.

Incorporation by Reference

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which might incorporate future filings made by us under those statutes, the preceding Compensation Committee Report and Audit Committee Report will not be incorporated by reference into any of those prior filings, nor will any such reports be incorporated by reference into any future filings made by us under those statutes. In addition, information on our website, other than our Proxy Statement, Notice of Annual Meeting and form of proxy, is not part of the proxy soliciting material and is not incorporated herein by reference.
