under the Incentive Plan will be transferred to capitals/reserves from which they were transferred to the reserve created pursuant to this Resolution, and the reserve created pursuant to this Resolution as referred to in this §3 shall be released with no requirement for the General Meeting of Shareholders to adopt a separate resolution.

§4

In order for the Company to acquire Own Shares under the Incentive Plan in order to issue the same to Eligible Persons, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders hereby authorises the Company's Management Board (and the Supervisory Board where relevant provisions require also an action by the Supervisory Board) to acquire Own Shares in accordance with the rules set out in this Resolution and to take any legal and factual actions necessary in order to acquire Own Shares, including but not limited to determining detailed rules for acquiring Own Shares within the scope not specified in this Resolution, including to determine the manner of acquiring Own Shares, and to conclude an agreement for intermediation in acquiring Own Shares with the selected investment firm, as well as to offer Own Shares to the Eligible Persons.

§6

This resolution comes into force on the date it is adopted.

Justification for the draft resolution:

  1. The agenda of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders comprises adopting a resolution to authorise the Management Board to acquire own shares and to create a reserve to acquire own shares of the Company.
  2. The Company will acquire Own Shares in order to offer the same to the Eligible Persons under the Company's Incentive Plan for the settlement of the year 2023. This solution will be an alternative to increasing the Company's share capital due to issuing new shares.
  3. This will enable to reduce the costs which the Company would have to incur in relation to issuing shares. Such costs are generated, inter alia, in relation to the necessity of registering the shares in a deposit maintained by Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A. [the Central Securities Depository of Poland] or the procedure to apply for admission and introduction of the shares to trading on the regulated market operated by Giełda Papierów
    Wartościowych z siedzibą w Warszawie S.A. [the Warsaw Stock Exchange]. The Company's acquisition of own shares also takes less time than the process of issuing shares. It also does not result in diluting the existing shareholding.
