Daybreak advances Cold Iron partnership with an additional investment of up to USD 6.5 million and updates the game’s target release window to third quarter of 2026
Enad Global 7 AB (publ) (“EG7” or the "Company"), through its subsidiary Daybreak Game Company LLC (“Daybreak Games”), today announces its decision to finance up to an additional USD 6.5 million in development funding for Project Avo, the upcoming co-op action shooter based on a major film IP franchise from Cold Iron Studios LLC (“Cold Iron”). As this is considered a related-party transaction, the investment was reviewed and approved by EG7’s Contract Oversight Committee. As part of the agreement, Cold Iron is also expected to co-invest an additional USD 1.2 million, reinforcing shared commitment to the project’s success.
Cold Iron is a company in which Jason Epstein, Chairman of EG7, and Ji Ham, CEO of EG7, hold a personal financial interest. Accordingly, this transaction constitutes a related party transaction under applicable corporate governance policies.
The transaction was reviewed and approved by EG7’s Contract Oversight Committee, which is comprised of the independent board members of EG7, in accordance with the Company’s conflict of interest policy. The additional investment will remain contingent upon the achievement of specific milestones, to be approved by the Contract Oversight Committee. The investment is part of the Company's ongoing operations and has been made on commercial terms. For more information about the Contract Oversight Committee, please see our web page, https://www.enadglobal7.com/governance /committees/.
Daybreak Games will continue to serve as the global publisher of Project Avo, including the right of first offer to publish any potential sequel.
Daybreak Games will recoup the additional investment along with the rest of its investment in Cold Iron’s game, prior to the profits from the release being shared between Daybreak Games and Cold Iron. The commercial terms between Daybreak Games and Cold Iron have been adjusted to reflect the higher investment.
Cold Iron, Daybreak Games and the licensor have been working closely to secure a desired high level of quality and are coordinating the release timing in order to maximize the game’s potential performance. In conjunction with this, the target release window for the game has been moved to the third quarter of 2026.
The transaction supports EG7’s long-term growth strategy while maintaining alignment with shareholder interests and corporate governance best practices.
