  1. In the interest of the Company, the rights issue in reference to L series shares and the Warrants is completely excluded for the existing shareholders. ---------------------
  2. Sharing the stand of the Management Board regarding this Resolution, the Company General Meeting decided to adopt the text of the presented written opinion of the Management Board as the resolution justification required under Article 433 paragraphs 2 and 6, and Article 445.1, in relation to Article 449.1 of the Code of Commercial Companies. The Company Management Board presented the following written opinion justifying the complete exclusion of the rights issue with regard to L series shares and the Warrants, the proposed issue price of L series shares and the Warrants, as well as the legitimacy of the conditional share capital increase: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "The justification for the exclusion of the rights issue with regard to E and F series
    Warrants and L series shares is the purpose of their issue, i.e. granting the right to take up L series shares to the holders of E and F series subscription warrants who participate in the Management Options Plan adopted by the Company ('Plan').
    E and F series Warrants entitling to the take-up of L series shares of the Company will be offered to the eligible persons in accordance with the Plan Rules. ------------
    The participants of the Plan are the persons whose work is of key importance to the operations of the Company and the companies of its Capital Group. The opportunity to acquire L series shares shall be an incentive for the persons, contributing to greater effectiveness of the Company operations. The performance of the Plan, under which the issue of L series shares will be directed to these people, shall result in their long-term binding to the Company and the Capital

Group. Owing to the fact that the results of the Company and the companies of its Capital Group depend on the people employed by them, binding high level specialists to the Company is needed in order to ensure the Company's proper development.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the purpose of achieving the goals of the Plan, the issue price of the Warrants is PLN 0.01.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The value of the issue price of L series shares has been determined in a manner ensuring the incentive nature of the Plan. The issue price of the shares offered under the Plan shall be determined in reference to the average turnover-weighted price of the Company shares calculated based on the average turnover-weighted daily quotes on the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange in the period of 12 (twelve) months preceding the date of 20 August 2020 (i.e. the date on which the Annual General Meeting of the Company passed Resolution No. 27/20 regarding the adoption of the Management Options Plan based on the issue of bonds with pre-emptive right), less 5%, providing that the difference between the average quote of the Issuer's shares in organised trading in the last 3 (three) months preceding the date of determining the issue price and the issue price shall not exceed 50% of the quote. If the said difference exceeds the specified value, the issue price will be adequately increased or decreased. ------------------------------------

For the above reasons, exclusion of the rights issue in reference to E and F series Warrants and L series shares for the existing shareholders is in the best interest of the Company and does not contradict the interest of the existing Company shareholders."------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15. The Management Board of the Company is hereby authorised to determine the specific conditions, procedures and dates of taking the steps associated with the offering and issue of L series shares, including the determination of the issue price. The Management Board of the Company is further authorised to undertake any actual or legal steps related to admitting L series shares into trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange regulated market, which includes entering into an agreement with

the Central Securities Depository of Poland with regard to the registration of L series shares in the Securities Depository for the purpose of their dematerialisation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. With regard to the above determinations, acting pursuant to Article 430.1 of the

Code of Commercial Companies, and § 19.1.5 of the Company Articles of

Association, it is resolved to amend § 7 of the Company Articles of Association by adding Section 13 as follows: -----------------------------------------------------------------

"The share capital of the Company is conditionally increased by the amount not higher than PLN 450,000 (say: four hundred and fifty thousand zlotys) through the issue of not more than 180,000 (say: one hundred and eighty thousand) L series ordinary bearer shares of the nominal value of PLN 2.50 (say: two zlotys and fifty groshes) each. The purpose of the conditional increase of the share capital is to vest the rights to take up L series shares in the participants of the Management Options Plan holding E and F series subscription warrants entitling to the take-up of L series shares, with the exclusion of the rights issue for the existing shareholders of the Company." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17. The resolution comes into force on the date of its passing. -------------------------------
