The Management Board will also propose that AGM approve a share capital increase by way of the issuance, with the exclusion of the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders, of seriesLshares with a nominal value of PLN 0.10, each to be offered solely to the Company’s shareholders of record as of the dividend record date, which are “professional clients” (within the meaning of the Polish Act on Trading in Financial Instruments dated 29 July 2005, as amended) (“Dividend Shares”). Such shareholders will be able to elect to receive the amount of their respective dividend net of applicable tax, (“Net Dividend”) in cash or receive Dividend Shares in lieu of cash, (by way of set off) in a number calculated as Net Dividend divided by the issue price of the Dividend shares, as will be determined by the shareholders.

The payment of the dividend remains subject to the approval by the annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company.
