In order to exercise such right the Company may demand the shareholder to provide additional

information, explanations and documents. The Company will not be required to benefit from the entitlement referred to in Article 26(2e) of the CIT Act.

5. CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAILURE TO DELIVER THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS In the event that the shareholder delivered the Request, but:

  1. failed to deliver to the Company the documents referred to in section 4; or
  2. the information in the documents referred to in section 4 justifies the assumption that there are circumstances which preclude the application, to the revenues received on account of the advances towards the dividend paid to the shareholder, of a discounted flat rax rate or an exemption, or the possibility of not withholding any tax, based on special laws or double tax treaties,

then the Company will inform the shareholder of such fact no later than on 17 November 2022. In the event referred to above, the Company will conclude the Understanding with such shareholder and will pay the Advance in Euro to such shareholder directly, i.e. otherwise than through the settlement system of the NDS by withholding income tax with respect to the Advance in Euro in the amount calculated with the assumption that such shareholder is subject to unlimited tax liability in Poland.
