dywidendaweuro@capitalpark.pl and prawnik@capitalpark.pl.

The Company will confirm the receipt of the documents sent to the abovementioned email address. The lack of confirmation of receipt of the documents by the Company will mean that the Request has not been delivered.

The option of delivery of the documents in electronic form does not apply to the shareholder's tax residency certificate (if it is required under section 4) and other documents (e.g. the registered depository certificate), if such form is not permissible by law or the entity (other than a shareholder) issuing such documents is unable to issue them in electronic form with a qualified electronic signature or qualified electronic seal.

4. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY DISCHARGING THE FUNCTION OF REMITTER OF WITHHOLDING TAX

The Company will act as a remitter of income tax with respect to the Dividend in Euro which will be paid by the Company directly to the shareholders (i.e. otherwise than through the settlement system of the NDS).

Consequently, with respect to those payments, the Company will be subject to certain obligations related to the calculation and collection of income tax, and the remittance of such tax to the tax authorities at the proper time. In addition, the Company will also be subject to the obligation of obtaining the following documents required to determine the correct rules of taxation of the dividend payments, including an application of exemption from or any decreased rates of withholding tax:

    4. a statement of the taxpayer that he or she is the beneficial owner referred to in Article 4a(33) of the PIT Act, in terms of the dividend paid thereto;
    5. a statement of the taxpayer that it does not conduct any business in Poland through a permanent establishment, within the meaning of the relevant double tax treaty, and that the shareholding, with regard to which the dividend is paid, is not related to the operations of such establishment;

satisfied (with respect to payers of CIT benefiting from the tax exemption pursuant to Article 22(4) of the CIT Act);

  1. a statement of the taxpayer that it does not conduct any business in Poland through a permanent establishment, within the meaning of the relevant double tax treaty, and that the shareholding, with regard to which the dividend is paid, is not related to the operations of such establishment;
  2. a statement of the taxpayer that it is the beneficial owner as referred to in Article 4a(29) of the CIT Act, with respect to the dividend paid thereto;

The Company may benefit from the right not to comply with the obligation under Article 26(2e) of the CIT Act, if, as a result of the verification and analysis of obtained documents and information, it does not become aware of any grounds that would justify the assumption of the existence of any circumstances that would exclude the option of applying a tax rate or exemption, or the possibility of not withholding tax, based on special laws or double tax treaties. In order to exercise such right the Company may demand the shareholder to provide additional information, explanations and documents. The Company will not be required to benefit from the entitlement referred to in Article 26(2e) of the CIT Act.

5. CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAILURE TO DELIVER THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS In the event that the shareholder delivered the Request, but:

  1. failed to deliver to the Company the documents referred to in section 4; or
  2. the information in the documents referred to in section 4 justifies the assumption that there are circumstances which preclude the application, to the revenues received on account of the dividend paid to the shareholder, of a discounted flat rax rate or an exemption, or the possibility of not withholding any tax, based on special laws or double tax treaties,

then the Company will inform the shareholder of such fact no later than on 8 July 2022. In the event referred to above, the Company will conclude the Understanding with such shareholder and will pay the Dividend in Euro to such shareholder directly, i.e. otherwise than through the

settlement system of the NDS by withholding income tax with respect to the Dividend in Euro in the amount calculated with the assumption that such shareholder is subject to unlimited tax liability in Poland.
