today announced a preferential issue of equity shares aggregating to approximately

Nazara Technologies with effect from September 1 2026 subject to regulatory
approvals, will subscribe to equity shares aggregating approximately ₹583.5 crore,
making him a significant individual shareholder of the Company.

Committee and Board oversight framework. The source draft states that the proceeds
are intended primarily to support strategic acquisitions and accelerate growth across
Nazara’s existing business verticals.
Commenting on the proposed investment, Nitish Mittersain, Founder, Chief
Executive Officer and Managing Director, Nazara Technologies, said, “The
decision by Raymond and the Bluetile and BestPlay leadership team to invest
approximately ₹734 crore of their own capital into Nazara is a powerful endorsement
of the global platform we have built over the last few years. As founder, it is deeply
heartening to see Nazara recognised and respected across the global gaming
industry.”
Raymond Albaladejo Stauffer, Chief Executive Officer, Bluetile, said, “I’m
reinvesting a substantial portion of the proceeds from Bluetile and BestPlay back into
Nazara. I’m doing this with a lot of optimism. The next chapter for the Company is the
most exciting yet. Nazara has the platform, balance sheet, and ambition to build a
global gaming business. We also have a real opportunity to drive operating
efficiencies. I’m excited to play a meaningful role in that. This reinvestment reflects my
full conviction and confidence in the future of Nazara we are building together.”
