CD Projekt has confirmed to GI that it is to be acquired by Polish tech firm Optimus, should the deal be approved, allowing for “the two companies effectively swap shares in each others business” on the Warsaw Stack Exchange.

“In short this is kind of share swap between Polish stock company Optimus SA and CD Projekt Investment, which is the holding company owner of CDP Publishing, CDP Red, GOG.com, Metro and Porting House,” said Karol Zajaczkowski, marketing director at CDP Red. “In the final effect of that swap shareholders of CDP Investment will be the owners of Optimus SA. Optimus is a stock market company so in fact CDP will go public and have access to all stock instruments.

“Finally this means money for future development of the whole company. Basically this is very good information for CDP.”

An official press release is expected later today.

Witcher developer CD Projekt is to be bought by a Polish tech firm, Optimus.

That’s according to a report on Polygamia (via GI), who claim the takeover is to switch the developer from being privately owned into a publicly traded business on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The move is expected to be made with stock only, while the developer’s owners will become primary shareholders. An official announcement is due soon.
