Exhibit 2.1

SECOND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment Agreement is made on April 13, 2021

Between:

(1)

The Sellers (as defined in the Agreement); and

(2)

Zynga Inc. a company incorporated in Delaware with registered number 4446916 and whose registered office is at 699 8th Street, San Francisco, California 94103, the United States (the “Purchaser”).

Whereas:

(A)

The Sellers and the Purchaser have on 20 December 2018 entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement for the sale and purchase of all issued and outstanding shares and other equity securities of Small Giant Games Oy, as amended on May 15, 2019 (the so amended Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, “Agreement”).

(B)

The Company has since the original date of the Agreement developed a new game, Puzzle Combat.

(C)

As the Purchaser believes that investing in marketing expenses of Puzzle Combat is in the best interest of the Purchaser’s long-term business objectives and accordingly desires to invest in marketing expenses for Puzzle Combat, while the Sellers desire to ensure that the Step-In Year Three Closing Consideration which was agreed in the context of the sale of the Company is not impacted by marketing expenses related to Puzzle Combat, the Parties have agreed to the Agreement as set forth below.

(D)
