In the Company's best interest, subject to Article 10(8) and Article 10(9), the Management Board shall
be obliged to:
grant those Eligible Investors who are also shareholders of the Company as at the record date for participation in the General Meeting convened for 13 February 2026 (the "Priority Right Record Date"), and who on the Priority Right Record Date hold shares carrying at least 0.2% (two-tenths of one percentage point) of the total voting rights in the Company (the "Eligible Investors with Priority Rights"), a priority right to subscribe for the shares issued under this authorisation to issue shares within the limits of authorised capital, in a number corresponding to the product of:
the ratio of the number of Company shares held by the Eligible Investors with Priority Rights on the Priority Right Record Date, as evidenced by the document confirming the right to participate or the list of persons entitled to participate in the said General Meeting, to the total number of existing Company shares on the Priority Right Record Date; and
the final number of shares offered in the relevant issue as determined by the Management Board, provided that if the number so calculated is not a whole number, it shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number (the "Priority Right");
require that any Eligible Investor with Priority Rights wishing to exercise their Priority Right must meet
the following additional conditions (the "Investor Eligibility Conditions"):
the investor must not appear on any Polish or EU sanctions lists, nor be an entity controlled by an investor appearing on any Polish or EU sanctions lists;
the investor must provide, during the book-building process, a document evidencing that such investor was a shareholder of the Company as at the Priority Rights Record Date, it being understood that the inclusion of the investor on the list of persons entitled to participate in the General Meeting convened hereby shall constitute sufficient evidence of the investor's shareholding as at the Priority Rights Record Date;
the investor must submit, during the book-building process, a declaration of interest in subscribing for the shares at a price not lower than the final issue price determined by the Management Board; and
the investor must enter into, after the Management Board resolves to extend to such investor an offer to subscribe for the offered shares, a subscription agreement with the Company for the offered shares at the issue price determined by the Management Board;
The foregoing provisions shall not limit the Management Board's right to offer any shares not taken up pursuant to the Priority Right (including shares not subscribed following their initial offering to the Priority Investors with Priority Rights) for subscription at its discretion, including to selected Eligible Investors, at a price not lower than the price payable by the Eligible Investors with Priority Rights.
In the Company's best interest, the Management Board is hereby authorised to fully or partially disapply the existing shareholders' pre-emptive rights to subscribe for shares issued within the limits of Authorised Capital.
The Supervisory Board is hereby authorised to draw up the consolidated text of the Articles of Association, incorporating the amendments set out in this Resolution.
Section 3
Acting pursuant to Article 445(1) and Article 447(2) in conjunction with Article 433(2) of the Commercial Companies Code, the General Meeting states that the adoption of this Resolution, authorising the Management Board of the Company to increase the share capital within the limits of authorised capital, follows from the need to create conditions for the efficient increase of the Company's share capital for purposes related to injecting capital into the Company, thereby facilitating the raising of funds for the further development of the Company as and when appropriate. Taking into account future investment needs, the Company's Management Board, based on the authorisation to increase the share capital within the limits of authorised capital, will be able to adjust the
timing and size of share issues to current market conditions and the needs of the Company. The full or partial disapplication of pre-emptive rights shall require the consent of the Supervisory Board. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to authorise the Company's Management Board to increase the share capital within the limits of authorised capital, and the Supervisory Board's oversight of this process ensures appropriate protection of the shareholders.
The General Meeting, having reviewed the matter, approves the opinion presented by the Management Board justifying the disapplication of pre-emptive rights.
Section 4
This Resolution shall take effect on the date of its adoption, with the proviso that amendments to the Company's Articles of Association adopted pursuant to this Resolution shall be required to be entered in the Business Register of the National Court Register in accordance with Article 430(1) of the Commercial Companies Code.
Statement of reasons:
The adoption of the proposed resolution to amend the Company's Articles of Association in connection with the authorisation of the Management Board to increase the share capital within the limits of authorised capital is driven by the need to provide the Company with flexible mechanisms for increasing the share capital, in particular those that allow for a shortened issue process and efficient negotiations with potential investors. Furthermore, the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association will enable the Company to secure funds for new investments and further development. These measures will significantly strengthen the Group's transformation programme, and the share capital increase will also contribute to improving the Group's balance sheet structure. By conducting issuances within the limits of authorised capital, the Management Board will be able to adjust the size and timing of the issuance to market conditions and the Company's current needs. In accordance with the provisions of the Company's Articles of Association and the Commercial Companies Code, the authority to decide on the share capital increase rests with the General Meeting.
The grant of Priority Rights to shareholders holding 0.2% or more of total voting rights in the Company as at the Priority Right Record Date provides an additional mechanism to safeguard the interests of significant shareholders and is consistent with market practice.
