LETTER OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Ladies and gentlemen,

As each year, I am pleased to introduce you to the content of the annual report of AFORTI Group. Year 2021 should be considered as the next stage of AFORTI's activity which went down in history. With a high degree of certainty, it was an exceptional year, both in terms of events which occurred as well as in terms of the results we obtained. I would like to answer telegraphically and summarize to you the past

months of our work.

First quarter of 2021 started with the successive work on the implementation of the AFORTI.BIZ project.

As an initial step, the subsidiary AFORTI PLC and a company which is a holder of an E-Money Institution (EMI) license have concluded a share purchase agreement. Soon after, in March 2021, AFORTI Exchange which is a currency exchange company was ranked among the 70 most innovative representatives of the Polish finance and technology sector. This quarter of business year 2021 was finished by achieving by Aforti Group a

record in the financial results and as a result, our sales revenues amounted to PLN 435 million!

The winning streak also continued in the 2nd quarter, at that time, net sales revenues amounted to over 510 million PLN! In this period, the AFORTI Collections company was ranked on the 4th place in the overall ranking "Debt Collection Market Leaders" prepared by Gazeta Finansowa.

However, the key event of the quarter was the next phase associated with international expansion. In April, AFORTI PLC acquired a 9.9% stake in an EU EMI licensed company, bringing us much closer to offering services to customers across the European Union.

Furthermore, we are pleased to see more success in third quarter where AFORTI Holding was among the largest Polish companies of 2021 out of 2,000 active companies and we ranked satisfactorily 313th position.

During this period, we also shared with you the Group's strategy for 2021-2023, and we make good on our promises. In August, we celebrated our 10th anniversary of being listed on the NewConnect market, an important date for us and another milestone on AFORTI's road to success. This quarter was crowned with another, increasingly higher, sales result of PLN 607 million.

Despite this, the most important events happened in the last 4th quarter, where AFORTI Collections obtained the CESSIO Laurel. The Company has achieved the second position in the category "Outsourcing - Serwis Wierzytelności".

In October 2022, the AFORTI Holding's shares were listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. With this symbolic ringing of the stock exchange bell, we started the next chapter of our expansion into the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

After the initial public offering the Bucharest Stock Exchange was quickly followed by launch of factoring activities for clients in Romania which allowed us on financing the first invoices. At the same time, AFORTI Exchange enjoyed further success, taking 2nd place in the online exchange category in the ranking of the 100 Largest Polish Payment Companies.

However, in my view the greatest success of 2021 should be certainly consider the event of activation of the EMI license, which entitles AFORTI Group to completely develop its activities internationally. We are currently following several audits of our companies, including in Cyprus, as well as meetings with Central Banks.

We've had quite an exceptional year behind us! I very much hope that in 2023 I will be able to share with you more very good news from AFORTI!

I encourage you to read the consolidated annual report 2021 and Company's separate annual report 2021.

At your disposal is also our Investor Relations Department, with which

in case of questions, you can contact us by e-mail sent to: inwestorzy@AFORTIholding.pl

Sincerely,
