FORM FOR EXERCISING THE VOTING RIGHT BY A PROXY

This form contains an instruction for exercising the voting right by a proxy holding a power-of-attorney granted by a shareholder and enabling the exercise of the voting right at the Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting of PKP CARGO S.A. ("ESM") convened for 18 April 2024 in accordance with the instructions provided by the shareholder.

The shareholder provides the proxy with instructions on how to vote with regard to each of the resolutions to be adopted at the Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting by putting an "X" in the appropriate box in sections described as votes "for", "against" or "abstaining".

If the shareholder decides to vote in different manners from his/her shares held, he or she shall indicate in the appropriate section the number of shares from which the proxy is instructed to vote "for", "against" or "abstaining". If no indication is given about the number of shares, the proxy will be deemed to be authorized to vote as instructed from all the shares held by the shareholder. If the section "Other" is marked, the shareholder should define in that section the instructions on how the proxy is required to exercise the voting right. For the avoidance of doubt as to how the proxy is required to vote in such a case, it is recommended that the manner of proceeding by the proxy should be defined in the section "Other" in the above situation.

The use of this form depends on the shareholder's decision and is not a condition for casting a vote through a proxy. PKP CARGO S.A. hereby declares that it will not verify whether proxies exercise voting rights in accordance with the instructions received from the shareholders. Therefore, the voting instructions do not have to be provided to PKP CARGO S.A. or the Chairperson of the Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting.
