Agreement to develop films and television series

 

Further to its announcement on 16 December 2022, Games Workshop is pleased to

LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., ("Amazon") for the prospective
development by Amazon of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe into films
and television series, together with associated merchandising rights.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Games Workshop has granted exclusive rights
to Amazon in relation to films and television series set within the Warhammer
40,000 universe, together with an option for Amazon to license equivalent
rights in the Warhammer Fantasy universe following the release of the initial
Warhammer 40,000 production.

 

Games Workshop and Amazon will work together for a period of 12 months to
agree creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed
by Amazon. The agreement will only proceed once the creative guidelines are
mutually agreed between Games Workshop and Amazon.

 

A further announcement will be made in due course.

 

The Company makes no change to its forecast for the 53 week period ending 2
June 2024.
