to the Supervisory Board resolution no. 10/25 dated 18 March 2025
The Supervisory Board's report for the 2024 financial year includes:
Dear shareholders,
The past year, 2024, marked the completion of Orange Polska's four-year .Grow strategy. Despite difficult and unexpected challenges, the Company has met all its strategic goals, which the Supervisory Board views as a commendable achievement. This is evidence of the strong fundamentals at the heart of Orange Polska's business. Our highly-functioning commercial engines enabled the Company to adapt swiftly to changing market conditions, showcasing execution capabilities. The strategy has positioned Orange Polska as a leader across all key market segments and resulted in creating substantial stakeholders' value and enhancing shareholders' returns. I am particularly pleased that the Company is increasingly in a position to share its success with the shareholders in the form of dividends.
I am proud that our customers have rewarded the Company's multi-year efforts across the entire customer journey including network, services, distribution and customer care. In 2024, ourNet Promoter Score (NPS) improved across all segments — consumer and business — once again securing the top position in the market.
The Supervisory Board closely monitored developments around the process of launching consultations for distribution of 5G frequencies in the 700-800 MHz bands. The Supervisory Board was concerned about the level of starting prices proposed by the Office of Electronic Communication in the consultation that were significantly higher than benchmarks from other European countries. It was very satisfactory to see that the arguments the Company raised in the consultations were taken into consideration by the Office which lowered the level of starting prices in the actual auction process that when it was launched in November. This spectrum is important for enhancing coverage and improving the quality of our services in non-urban areas.
The management has presented to the Supervisory Board results of the annual employee satisfaction survey along with a plan describing implementation of its key conclusions. People are essential to the success of any strategy. That is why employee satisfaction and staying updated on their feedback regarding what they value and what needs improvement is crucial for the Supervisory Board. The Management Board presented key directions of action across various areas.
Like every year, the Supervisory Board was also involved in all other decisions of key significance for Orange Polska. We monitored the Management Board's governance in managing the business to ensure that these activities were appropriate and efficient, as well as being lawful and in compliance with legal provisions and internal standards and policies. At each meeting, the Supervisory Board discussed in detail the Company's current financial and operating results versus the budget adopted at the beginning of the year. More details of the Supervisory Board's assessment of Orange Polska's standing are presented further in this report. With respect to the assurance of the highest corporate governance standards, it's worth noting that the Management Board strengthened supervision of Orange Polska's subsidiaries in line with the Supervisory Board's instructions.
The frequency of the Supervisory Board and its Committees' meetings mean that we are in close contact with the Management Board. In 2024, 5 meetings of the Supervisory Board and 15 meetings of its Committees took place. The average participation rate was 94%.
2025 is the first year covered by the new strategic period. The management has shared its assumptions for the new strategic plan with the Supervisory Board and the Strategy Committee, in particular market context and the timeline leading to its communication. In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the Company is operating in an attractive market that offers plentiful opportunities and the Company has adequate resources and assets to get the most from these opportunities and continue its growth journey. I am confident that despite challenges a new strategy will become a platform for further value creation for our shareholders.

The Supervisory Board, acting in compliance with the provisions of the Commercial Companies Code and the Company's Articles of Association, exercised permanent supervision over the Company's operations in all fields of its activities.
In 2024 the Supervisory Board fulfilled its duties resulting from the provisions of the Commercial Companies Code including the appraisal of the Orange Polska financial statements, the Management Board's report on activity and the Management Board's motion on distributing the Company's profit for the 2023 financial year and filing with the General Meeting reports presenting the results of the above mentioned appraisals.
The Supervisory Board took due care to ensure that the Management Board's reports and the financial statements were in compliance with the law.
The Supervisory Board also executed its rights and obligations arising from the Company's Articles of Association and the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021, of which the following should be mentioned:
Throughout 2024, the Supervisory Board mainly focused on the following issues:
The Supervisory Board closely monitored developments around the process of launching public consultations for distribution of 5G frequencies in the 700-800 MHz bands. While we were pleased with the start of the long overdue process, the level of opening-bid prices proposed by the Regulator in the consultation was significantly above benchmarks from other European countries. This raised concerns within the Company expressed in its consultation position arguing that such high prices are not aligned with the objective of using this spectrum to benefit the growth of Poland's modern digital communications network. Company's arguments were taken into consideration by the Regulator which lowered the level of starting prices in the actual auction process that was launched in November. The 700 MHz spectrum is important for enhancing coverage and improving quality of our services in non-urban areas.
Another topic discussed at the meetings of both the Supervisory Board and its Strategy Committee was the expansion of fibre reach through acquisitions. In Poland, there are hundreds of small local fibre networks, which have been subject to consolidation. In the Supervisory Board's opinion, Orange Polska with its strong balance sheet, is well positioned to take part in this process. The Company has been particularly active in this area in 2024, completing five transactions, three of which took place in the month of December. The key decision-making criteria apart from the price have been: the geography of the network complementary to Orange Polska's and Światłowód Inwestycje footprints; and issues related to legal and technical integration. As a result, during implementation of our .Grow strategy, Orange Polska expanded its fibre reach by around 200,000 households through acquisitions in different parts of Poland.
The management has presented the results of the annual employee survey to the Supervisory Board, along with a plan for implementation of its key conclusions. People are essential to the success of any strategy. That is why employee satisfaction - and staying updated on employee feedback regarding what they value and what needs improvement - is crucial for the Supervisory Board. The Management Board presented key action directions to reduce workload by focusing on priorities, enhance collaboration across various areas, and ensure that diverse employee groups feel valued at Orange.
In 2021, with the start of the .Grow strategy, we launched a long-term incentive plan for the management and key managers based on phantom shares. In 2024, the first Series of this incentive plan expired and was settled. The objectives assigned to the success indicators were achieved at an average level of 85%. The prerequisite for the redemption of phantom shares has been met. The Supervisory Board approved a buy-out of this programme and also discussed the launch of a fourth Series of the program for the years 2024-2026. The redemption conditions for this Series will be established by a separate resolution of the Supervisory Board in 2025, following the announcement of the new strategic plan.
The Supervisory Board constantly monitored Orange Polska's commercial and financial results and the execution of the 2024 budget. This was particularly important in light of the challenging environment within the business market that resulted from macroeconomic factors and unfavourable regulatory changes affecting our energy resale activity. On top of that, the Company's operating expenses were again affected by the impact of the previous year's high inflation, further exacerbated by an increase in the minimum wage. The majority of our rental contracts are indexed to the previous year's inflation rate, which means that our related costs further surged last year. These challenges necessitated mitigation efforts. The results have demonstrated that the Company has dealt with these challenges effectively.
The management has started discussions with the Supervisory Board regarding assumptions for the new strategic plan following completion of the .Grow strategy in 2024. The Supervisory Board wanted to discuss mainly market context and the timeline leading to communication of the new strategy in 2025.
The Supervisory Board met 5 times in 2024.
The attendance at the Supervisory Board's meetings was 94,2% and 96,5% including its committees.
*) Actual number of meetings attended / Maximum number of scheduled meetings which the directors could have attended
The Supervisory Board regularly monitored the execution of its resolutions and recommendations, analysing the information presented by the Management Board.
The Supervisory Board formulated a number of recommendations, remarks and motions to the Management Board, referring to different aspects of the Company's operations.
The Supervisory Board used in its operations opinions of its Committees (the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Strategy Committee), wherever applicable.
During discussing specific matters at the meeting, the Chairpersons of the committees presented appropriate recommendations and proposals for decisions to the Supervisory Board. In addition, the Supervisory Board regularly receives the minutes from the committees' meetings.
The committees of the Supervisory Board received relevant and reliable information and reports from the Management Board on time, enabling them to carry out their tasks in 2024.
The reports of the three permanent committees of the Supervisory Board on their activities in 2024 are attached hereto.
The tasks and the principles of the operation of the Supervisory Board and its permanent committees are defined in the Regulations of the Supervisory Board which are available on the Company's website.
Acting pursuant to provisions of art. 382 § 31 clause 3) and 4) of the Commercial Companies Code, the Supervisory Board positively assessed the performance by the Management Board of the obligations referred to in art. 3801 of the Commercial Companies Code and § 25 clause 11 of the Company's Articles of Association, as well as the method of preparing and submitting information, documents, reports or requested explanations to the Supervisory Board.
According to art. 382 § 31 clause 5) of the Commercial Companies Code, the Supervisory Board informs that in 2024 it did not order any matter regarding the Company's operations or its assets to be examined at the expense of the Company, nor did any analysis or opinion be performed by any adviser.
The Company's Supervisory Board, acting pursuant to provisions of art. 382 § 3 clause 1) i § 31 clause 1) of the Commercial Companies Code and § 23.2.1 of the Company's Articles of Association, by the resolution No. 7/25 dated 18 February 2025, made a positive assessment in terms of their compliance with the books, documents and the facts:
Acting pursuant to provisions of art. 382 § 3 clause 2) and § 31 clause 1) of the Commercial Companies Code and to § 23 clause 2 item 2 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board reviewed and positively assessed the Management Board's motion contained in the resolution No. 9/25 dated 12 February 2025 on distribution of the Orange Polska S.A. profit for the 2024 financial year in the amount of PLN 1,077,025,514.53, as follows:
This section contains the Supervisory Board assessment of the Orange Polska Group's standing on a consolidated basis in 2024 in accordance with the recommendation no. 2.11.3. of the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021, introduced by the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The assessment is based on the 2024 financial results of the Group (the Company and its subsidiaries) as well as on the information obtained by the Supervisory Board in conducting its statutory tasks.
The Supervisory Board, through the work of its committees and all its members (including independent members), was actively engaged in the process of evaluating of the most important initiatives, having in mind the interest of all the Group's stakeholders, including shareholders. In addition, it maintained oversight of the Group's operational and financial goals through management reporting at its quarterly meetings, and was able, through the Audit Committee, to oversee the accuracy of financial reporting and the functioning of the internal control, risk management and compliance systems and the internal audit function.
The Group's key goals in 2024 were as follows:
In 2024 Orange Polska completed its .Grow strategy announced in 2021. Its implementation was marked by a cumulation of exceptional headwinds, such as the war in Ukraine, the widespread energy crisis and two years of double-digit inflation. Despite this difficult and unexpected backdrop, the Company has pursued all its strategic goals, which the Supervisory Board views as a commendable achievement. This can be seen as evidence of the strong fundamentals at the heart of Orange Polska's business. Our highly-functioning commercial engines enabled the Company to adapt swiftly to changing market conditions, showcasing strong execution capabilities. The strategy has positioned Orange Polska as a leader across all key market segments and resulted in creating substantial stakeholders' value and enhancing shareholders' returns.
In 2024, the Group delivered on all its financial goals and maintained strong commercial momentum particularly on the consumer market. Despite intense competition customer bases for core telecom services continued to grow at a healthy pace. In convergence, which is the cornerstone of our commercial strategy for households, this growth was even faster than in the previous year, despite an increasing number of operators pursuing this strategy. This demonstrates that customers value the quality of Orange Polska's multi-service offerings and connectivity experience. Importantly, volume growth was accompanied by an increase in ARPO across all key services.
At the same time, we experienced a decline in market demand for IT & IS services. This was mainly due to two factors. Firstly, the IT sector experienced a cyclical slowdown primarily resulting from the economic downturn, high inflation in previous years, and the uncertain geopolitical situation. Secondly, there was a decrease in demand from the public sector in Poland, mainly due to political changes. Notably, the decline followed very strong performance in 2023, when the performance significantly outpaced the market.
The Company has reinforced its position as the connectivity leader on the Polish market. Following the first year of rollout, 5G network on the C-band spectrum has become available to approximately 40% of the Polish population. In fibre, a further footprint expansion was accompanied by a higher standard of service quality. Orange fibre has reached an additional 1 million households in Poland, thanks to efforts of Światłowód Inwestycje (FiberCo JV in which Orange Polska holds a 50% stake) and to the strategic acquisitions of local operators. Newly launched XGS-PON technology, offering market-leading speeds of up to 8 GB/s, has become available to over 2.5 million households. The Company's commitment to quality has been validated by independent speed test benchmarks, where both 5G and FTTH networks ranked #1 in 2024.
The Company made further progress in digitisation, which is one of the key tools for increasing internal efficiency and responding better to customer needs. The big-data driven marketing platform, which is to enhance customer value management and translate into more services sold, is delivering increasingly positive results. The share of digital channels in our sale structure has grown steadily. In 2024 this share reached 25%, aligning with the Company's strategic ambition. A key driver of this success is the My Orange application, which is continuously enhanced to improve its utility for customers.
The Company has successfully completed the four-year .Grow strategy. This was the first strategy in which growth was generated by commercial development, not from cost savings. This shift of the source of growth development was a crucial part of .Grow, as it ensures that the EBITDAaL development stems from a solid customer demand and is therefore sustainable.
The Management Board kept the Supervisory Board informed of the financial results. The Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board supervised the reliability of financial reporting on an ongoing basis and presented its opinions to the Supervisory Board before publication of the results for individual reporting periods.
The Group met all its financial goals for 2024, delivering strong results despite a challenging external environment. It increased profits, organic cash flow and return on capital employed while preserving a safe balance sheet. EBITDAaL for the year outperformed the initial expectations contained in the guidance that had been presented to the market.
It was another year of strong development of the core telecom services. The growth rate of revenues from key telecom services (convergence, mobile-only and fixed broadband-only) accelerated compared to its dynamic in the previous year, as the Group consistently expands both its number of customers and ARPO. This translated into solid underlying margin generation which was the key element of a 4.6% increase of EBITDAaL in 2024. Strong headwinds from unfavourable regulatory changes in the energy resale activity and impact of inflation on operating costs were compensated by cost savings and efficiency gains. The latter, in particular, included strong margin from the network rollout that the Group is executing for Światłowód Inwestycje (the FiberCo JV). This demonstrates the Group's ability to extract value from all its assets and projects.
Total revenues were down 1.8% in 2024. While revenues from core telecom services (convergence, mobileonly and fixed broadband-only) reported a strong 5.4% year-on-year growth, this was offset by a decline in IT&IS services and energy resale. The former was affected by slowing demand and a high comparable base of 2023 when IT&IS revenues increase was well above the market. The latter suffered mainly as a result of unfavourable regulatory changes related to maximum selling prices for households.
Net profit for 2024 exceeded PLN 900 million growing 12% year-on-year. It benefitted from higher operating profit and by a low comparable base in 2023, when the Group accrued a provision related to the social plan for 2024-2025.
Organic cash flow reached almost PLN 1 billion. This was generated by a significant growth of cash from operating activity, driven predominantly by higher EBITDAaL. This was then offset by a different evolution of working capital requirements between the two years, with a normalised level in 2024 as compared to an exceptional reduction of working capital requirements in 2023. Capital expenditures increased as planned, owing to full run rate of 5G network rollout.
The financial leverage of 1.1x illustrates the Company's strong balance sheet structure, an important asset in the current environment. In 2024 the Company raised dividend payments, which was assessed positively by the Supervisory Board. For 2024 the Management Board recommended a further 10% increase of the dividend to PLN 0.53 per share.
The Group met all the financial commitments contained within its .Grow strategy, delivering growth of revenues, EBITDAaL and cash, as well as a landmark improvement of the return on capital employed (ROCE). Since 2020 EBITDAaL increased by more than 500 million zloty which demonstrates significant value creation. This was achieved despite huge unexpected headwinds caused by the 2022 energy crisis and two years of double-digit inflation.
In 2025 Orange Polska enters a new strategic period. The Supervisory Board is confident that the Group's addressable markets are full of opportunities and that the Group has the right assets to benefit from them and continue its growth journey.
The Supervisory Board shares the Management Board's opinion that in 2025 the Group should particularly focus its operations on the following key aspects:
The Supervisory Board is responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of the Group's system of internal control and risk management designed and established by the Management Board, as well as the system for ensuring compliance with standards or applicable practices and the internal audit function.
This system facilitates management of the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and provides reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss, (Risk management does not mean the full elimination of risk, but provides for better risk identification and the implementation of adequate measures as needed). The relevant processes are designed to give reasonable assurance that the risks significant to the Group are identified and addressed in the Company, but such assurances can never be absolute.
The Company continuously monitors the evolution of the control environment. It ensures that all significant changes are sufficiently controlled and any identified deficiencies in the internal control system are addressed with action plans. On a quarterly basis, the internal control system is monitored in a selfassessment tool implemented by the Company and, in addition senior managers certify the effectiveness of the internal controls. On a yearly basis, the controls are subject to testing by the internal control team, internal and external auditors, and the results are reported to the Audit Committee.
The key elements of the system of internal control, including risk management, were presented in the Management Board's Report on the Activity of the Group for 2024, published on 20 February 2025.
In 2024, the Company again completed a comprehensive assessment of its processes of internal control over financial reporting. Main deficiencies both in design and in effectiveness of internal control have been identified and corrected, or appropriate action points have been launched. As a result of the assessment, the Management concluded that there were no weaknesses that would materially impact the internal controls and financial reporting at 31 December 2024.
Both the internal and external auditors report to the Management Board and also to the Audit Committee on control deficiencies which they identified during their audit. Their recommendations are being implemented.
The most important risks are updated annually by the Management Board and presented to the Supervisory Board.
Matters related to compliance are being reported to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board in the following areas: ethics, general compliance with laws and regulations, combating telecommunications and financial fraud, security and anti-corruption measures related with Anti-Corruption Policy that puts forward zero-tolerance rule towards corruption and influence peddling. The Compliance function carries out activities ensuring adjustment of Company's internal regulations and mechanisms to, among others, the Group's requirements in the scope of current anti-corruption regulations.
Orange Polska anti-corruption policy, complemented with detailed internal regulations, defines the required standards for employees' conduct. On the basis of relevant provisions of the policy, potential consequences are determined in cases of violation of anti-corruption procedures. The Compliance function conducts cyclic reviews of corruption risks, also taking into account control mechanisms and appropriate preventive measures.
The Company also has a conflict of interest policy in place, showing how to avoid situations that may turn into inappropriate behaviour leading, e.g. corruption.
Under the due diligence process, verification of current and future business partners is conducted with regard to threats related to corruption, fraud, non-compliance with economic sanctions, money laundering and financing of terrorism.
Based on the policy of compliance with economic sanctions and trade control principles implemented in Orange Polska, the Compliance function also conducts activities ensuring compliance with applicable sanctions programs and regulations applicable to the company's operations, in particular restrictions against certain countries, individuals or entities, notably those issued by Poland, European Union and its Member States, United Nations, or the United States.
Orange Polska employees and stakeholders may use dedicated channels to report their concerns or to ask for advice if they suspect a conflict of interests, bribery or any infringement of internal regulations of the Group or of other regulations of the law. Persons reporting irregularities can do so without fear of negative consequences.
Dedicated training sessions taking into account the exposure of individual areas of OPL to the risk of corruption and communication activities aim to constantly increase knowledge and build employees awareness. Orange Polska also conducts regular reviews in this area, makes necessary improvements and monitors the correctness of payments made.
Activities of Compliance function, the results of planned inspections, as well as the results of inspections initiated by notification of irregularities (whistle -blowing) are monitored on the basis of reports submitted periodically. Applied actions and mechanisms are ensuring the effectiveness of Compliance function and maintenance of Group's anti-corruption regulations standards.
The Supervisory Board is presented on annual basis also with information on the implementation and effectiveness of the compliance program, related to the fight against corruption including the risk map as well as the corresponding action plan for the coming year.
The internal audit function, which reports directly to the President of the Management Board, ensures objective and independent assessment of the adequacy, effectiveness and quality of the Group's internal controls. The internal audit works in accordance with a charter approved by the Audit Committee, which also reviews annual internal audit program and analyses the Orange Polska's Internal Audit reports.
This section contains the Supervisory Board assessment of the Company's performance of its obligations concerning compliance with the corporate governance principles as defined in the Exchange Rules, and with the regulations on current and periodic reports published by issuers of securities in accordance with recommendation no. 2.11.4 of the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021.
Orange Polska as an issuer of shares admitted to trading on a regulated market is obliged to follow the rules of the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies. Orange Polska accomplished its information duties concerning compliance with the corporate governance principles defined in the GPW Regulations and the regulations on current and periodic reports published by issuers of securities.
The publication of current reports regarding the application of detailed Corporate Governance rules is governed by the Resolution of the WSE Board no. 692/2021 dated 1 July 2021. According to the WSE regulations when a given rule is not applied in a consistent way or is broken incidentally, the Company is obliged to publish a report on its web site in the analogical way as it is applied for a publication of current reports. Reports concerning the application of detailed rules of the corporate governance are passed by means of EBI (Electronic Basis of Information). The decree of the Minister of Finance dated 29 March 2018 defines which information should be mentioned in the declaration on the application of the Corporate Governance constituting a separate part of the Management Board report about the activity of the Company.
The Supervisory Board analysed the declaration about the application of Corporate Governance included in the Management Board report about the activity of Orange Polska S.A. and the Orange Polska Group in 2024. This declaration defines in a detailed way the issues concerning Corporate Governance and
contains the information from the decree of the Minister of Finance dated 29 March 2018 on the current and periodic information passed by issuers of securities and on conditions of the consideration as equal of the information required by the law of a state which is not a member.
In the above-mentioned declaration the Management Board described that, the Company complied with all the corporate governance best practice.
As of 31.12.2024 the Company met all the requirements of the Diversity Policy for Members of the Supervisory Board and for Members of the Management Board.
According to the principle 1.1. of the Best Practice, Orange Polska runs a website in Polish and English, on which the Company publishes all provided by law and best practice documents and information required by law and best practice, including information on the Company's application of principles and recommendations contained in the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies.
In the Supervisory Board's opinion, the information provided by Orange Polska is in line with the requirements and honestly follows the rules of the Corporate Governance and the Company duly fulfils its disclosure obligations relating to the application of Corporate Governance principles set out in the Warsaw Stock Exchange Rules and regulations on current and periodic information.
This section contains the Supervisory Board assessment of the compliance and rationality of the Group's policy of supporting culture, sport, charities, media, social organizations and others in 2024 with recommendation no. 2.11.5 of Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021.
The Supervisory Board analysed the amounts expensed by Orange Polska Group in support of culture, sports, charities, the media, social organisations, trade unions, etc. in 2024.
The Supervisory Board states that the sponsorship strategy led by the Company and focused in 2024 on music as the main area supporting the brand brought the appropriate financial and marketing efficiency. According to the adopted strategy, in the strategic sponsorship area Orange Polska creates complex longterm projects across the whole of Poland. The projects, in which Orange Polska acts as titular or main sponsor, address the largest possible group of its clients (present and potential).
The Supervisory Board appreciates the social activity led by Orange Polska in both forms – one led by the Donations' Fund and the other led by Orange Foundation (created by the Company). Through its original programs, Orange Foundation acts for modern education of children and youth, online safety, community building using new technologies, and social and digital inclusion.
Taking into account the above and after analysing the documents listed in points 5 and 6 and taking into consideration the independent auditor's reports on the audit of the annual separate and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Supervisory Board recommends the Annual General Meeting:
Attachment No. 1 to the Supervisory Board Report for the 2024 financial year
The Audit Committee was established by virtue of the resolution of the Supervisory Board no. 324/V/2002 dated June 14, 2002 regarding the establishment of the Audit Committee as a consultative body acting under the Supervisory Board.
The role of the Committee is to review the integrity of the financial and sustainable development information reported externally, the independence and objectivity of the external auditors of Orange Polska (the "Company", "OPL") and Orange Polska Group (the "Group"), the nature and scope of the audit and the auditors' work as well as internal audit, internal control and risk management systems and significant transactions with related parties, and to advise the Supervisory Board on these issues as appropriate.
The Committee is chaired by Mr. John Russell Houlden, an Independent Director of the Supervisory Board. He has relevant experience and/or qualifications in finance, accounting and audit. Other Independent Directors of the Committee are Monika Nachyła, Bartosz Dobrzyński and Adam Uszpolewicz.
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to attach the report on the activities of the Audit Committee over the past 12 months.
The Audit Committee was closely involved in the assessment of the impact and response of the Group to significant international as well as domestic events and changes, including changes in the regulations, telecommunications market, inflation, energy prices, interest rates and worsening conditions in respect of the natural environment as well as the prospects for mitigating climate change and limiting its effects.
In 2024, the Audit Committee monitored the Group's preparation with respect to the new sustainability reporting standards which became obligatory in the European Union from 2024. Sustainable development of the Group by way of finding the right balance between short-term financial results and environment, social and governance matters (ESG), with the objective of ensuring the long term stable development of the Group, is of key importance to investors. The Audit Committee will continue monitoring the sustainable development of the Group and its sustainability reporting in subsequent years.
The Audit Committee monitored the process for identification of risks and the valuation of their impact on the Group, as well as actions undertaken by the Management Board in response to those risks, and proper disclosures in the financial statements as well as in the newly published sustainability statement for 2024 in that regard.
Since one of the main responsibilities of the Audit Committee is to ensure proper financial reporting by the Company and the Group, the Audit Committee reviewed all significant accounting interpretations, judgements and estimates proposed by Management.
The Audit Committee has also been involved in reviewing internal control, compliance and risk management. In particular, the Audit Committee worked to ensure the independence of both the external auditor of financial and sustainability statements and the internal audit team, and had private meetings with the external auditor, KPMG, and the Company's Internal Audit Director to give them an opportunity to discuss any issues which may have arisen in their interactions with Management.
The Audit Committee monitored the quality of the auditor's work using a developed set of Audit Quality Indicators.
Last, but not least, the Independent Directors on the Audit Committee reviewed and, when necessary, challenged the terms of significant transactions with related parties including, in particular, the majority shareholder, Orange S.A. and Atlas Services Belgium S.A.
Further details of the activities of the Audit Committee are presented below.
Chairman of the Audit Committee
The key functions of the Audit Committee are specified in its Terms of Reference attached to the Regulations of the Supervisory Board. In 2024, the remit of the Audit Committee was extended to encompass the monitoring of the integrity of sustainability reporting. The key functions of the Audit Committee include but are not limited to (i) monitoring the integrity of the financial and sustainability information reported externally, (ii) reviewing the Group's internal control and risk management systems, (iii) reviewing plans for internal audit and their reports, (iv) reviewing and giving opinions on significant transactions with related parties, (v) recommending the selection and re-appointment of an audit firm or firms for review of financial statements and sustainability statement, (vi) monitoring the independence and objectivity of the Company's external auditors, the nature and scope of the audit and monitoring the auditors' work, (vii) giving the Supervisory Board recommendations to ensure the faithful representation and relevance of the financial and sustainability reporting process and information published by the Company and the Group.
The Committee must consist of at least three members, the majority of whom, including the Chairman, are independent of the Company. The Audit Committee must meet (physically or virtually) at least on a quarterly basis before the publication of the financial statements.
The Audit Committee held six scheduled meetings in 2024. The meetings were generally attended by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer as well as Internal Audit Director and representatives of the Company's external auditor, KPMG. Other members of the Management Board, Executive Directors and other managers and invited guests attended the meetings when appropriate.
As required by law, the Audit Committee monitored the process of financial and sustainability reporting. The goal of the Audit Committee was to assess and provide advice to the Supervisory Board on whether, taken as a whole, the financial statements as well as the Management report on the Company's operations including the sustainability statement secured faithful representation and relevance of the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company's position and performance, business model and strategy.
The Audit Committee reviewed the quarterly and annual financial statements as well as the annual sustainability statement. The Committee reviewed also Orange Polska Group's strategic plan, including sustainable development strategy, as well as budgets. The aim of the review was to ensure that the key messages being followed in the annual and periodic reports were aligned with the Company's position,
performance and strategy and that the narrative sections of the reports were consistent with the financial statements and sustainability statement.
In order to assess that the reports and the financial statements secured faithful representation and relevance of the information, the Audit Committee also reviewed reports on financial performance of the Company, accounting policies and procedures, accounting estimates and judgments, one-off items as well as market guidance and Orange Polska Group's performance against the budget and other information with the aim of assessing the Company's position and performance. The Audit Committee was satisfied that all the key events and issues which had been reported by the Management Board during the year, both good and bad, had been adequately referenced or reflected within the annual report.
The external auditor regularly participated in the meetings of the Audit Committee and gave its view on issues significant from an accounting perspective as they arose during the year. Subsequently, the auditor presented, and the Audit Committee reviewed and where appropriate discussed with the auditor, the additional report prepared as required by the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
Based on the EU regulations, starting from 2024 reporting, the Company is obliged to publish a sustainability statement in the Management report on the Company's operations. Implementation of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive into the Polish legal system resulted in the new obligations of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee related to the preparation of a sustainability statement, ensuring its quality, securing auditor's assurance and also monitoring execution of the Group's strategy, plans and activities from the perspective of sustainability matters to be disclosed in the sustainability statement. The Audit Committee was entrusted with monitoring the integrity of sustainability reporting including monitoring the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management systems as well as internal audit work in relation to the sustainable reporting process. The Audit Committee also monitors the independence of the assurance services provider.
All members of the Audit Committee participated in training on the new sustainability reporting requirements. All members of the Audit Committee completed a test which confirmed that they have the appropriate skills and knowledge to fulfil efficiently and effectively the additional responsibility for the oversight of sustainability reporting starting from 2024.
The Audit Committee monitored the regulations related to sustainability reporting and its assurance as well as the preparation of the Company for 2024 reporting under the new regulations.
The Audit Committee supervised the process and endorsed the results of the double materiality analysis done by the Group. i.e. matters key for the sustainable development of the Group and its value chain and material impacts, risks and opportunities. The Audit Committee was involved in the dialog with the key stakeholders and reviewed the key matters selected. Those encompass GHG emissions, energy management, resources and waste management, adaptation to climate change, working conditions of the Group's employees as well as employees in the value chain and human rights, digital inclusion which is a matter specific for the Group's business, cybersecurity and data privacy, health and safety of our consumers and end-users as well as ethics and compliance. The Audit Committee reviewed policies, actions, targets, metrics and measures related to them.
The Audit Committee monitored also the status of implementation of key processes and systems as well as controls in those processes to identify, value, evidence and report proper disclosures required by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and EU Taxonomy regulations. The Audit Committee monitored the results of internal audit of selected processes. The Audit Committee monitored implementation of required policies and procedures key to ensuring the quality of the sustainability statement including the Policy on Sustainability Statement.
The Audit Committee recommended an auditor of the sustainability statement to the Supervisory Board, monitored the work of that auditor, its independence and reviewed items raised by the auditor during the assurance works.
In the following years, the Audit Committee will monitor market benchmarks in relation to sustainability statements and their assurance.
The Audit Committee is responsible for the relationship with the external auditor and that role involves examining the effectiveness of the audit process as well as the independence of the auditor. The year 2024 was the fourth year of KPMG being the auditor of the Orange Polska Group and the first year of KPMG giving limited assurance of the sustainability statement of the Group.
The Audit Committee reviewed the external auditor's proposed audit plan for 2024 including key auditing matters to be focused on, the materiality level set for audit testing and schedule of planned works and reporting along with planned interactions with the Audit Committee. Subsequently, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the auditor's recommendations, observations and comments on key areas requiring special consideration taking into account also the views of the management on those issues. The key auditing personnel participated in the meetings of the Audit Committee to allow for discussion of all issues as they arose during the year. Also, private meetings with the auditor were held by the Audit Committee to ensure open and transparent discussion between the auditor and the Audit Committee without the presence of the Management Board. The Audit Committee monitored the progress of the audit and its quality against the audit plan throughout the year.
In order to assess the performance and independence of the auditor as well as generally the relationship with the auditor, feedback on the auditor is collected from all members of the Audit Committee, the Management Board, key members of the senior management team and those who have regular contact with the auditor. The feedback on the auditor was collated and presented to the Audit Committee in April 2024. The Audit Committee regularly asked the auditor for its feedback on the co-operation with the Company. The feedback was generally positive and the Audit Committee concluded that the cooperation was good with no major issues requiring special attention.
To enhance the process of monitoring of the audit, the Audit Committee agreed with the auditor and the Management a set of Audit Quality Indicators (AQIs) and implemented AQIs as an additional tool of audit quality monitoring. Also, the Audit Committee asked KPMG to share the findings of the Polish Agency for Audit Supervision (PANA) issued as a result of their assessment of the quality of selected past audits by KPMG in Poland. In 2023, the Audit Committee discussed with KPMG the findings of PANA resulting from PANA's assessment of KPMG audits' quality made in 2024 and earlier.
In addition, the Audit Committee sought to understand why PANA did not disclose publicly more information in relation to its assessment of the quality of audits performed by each audit firm in Poland the quality of audit firms in Poland. PANA pointed out its confidentiality obligations resulting from the law. As a result, with the support of a number of key stakeholders, a discussion on possible amendments to the law was initiated. The recent amendment to the Act on Auditors and Auditor Supervision allowed PANA to disclose confidential information to audit committees without defining the scope of that disclosure. The discussion on the scope and whether such disclosure should be public will continue in 2025.
As far as the assurance of the sustainability statement is concerned, the Audit Committee launched a selection process and recommended that the Supervisory Board selects KPMG as an auditor of the sustainability statement. 2024 is the first year of obligatory independent assurance of sustainability statements which is a limited assurance. In the future a reasonable assurance will be required. The Audit Committee monitored KPMG's work regularly and discussed all points raised by the auditor.
In summary, the Audit Committee concluded that the overall external audit process and services were effective and met the Group's high audit quality requirements.
There are several aspects to auditor independence that the Audit Committee monitors to ensure the external auditor remains independent of the Company.
First, in assessing the independence of the auditor from the Company, the Audit Committee takes into account the information and assurances provided by the auditor. The Audit Committee received the auditor's statement on independence made in accordance with the Polish Act on Auditors of 11 May 2017 (Polish Audit Act) and the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Audit Regulation).
Second, the Audit Committee reviews the proportion of the value of non-audit services rendered by the auditor or its affiliated entities and the audit fees. As required by law, the Company has a Policy on the provision of authorised non–audit services by the audit firm and its affiliated entities. Following the Policy, all authorised non-audit services should be approved in advance by the Audit Committee taking into account their potential influence on the independence of the auditor. According to the relevant law as well as the Policy, authorised non-audit services, not required by law, are subject to a fee cap of no more than 70% of the average annual statutory audit fee for the three consecutive financial years preceding the year in which the cap will apply. The 70% rule has been applicable since 17 June 2016 under the Audit Regulation. Management provides the Audit Committee with information on the value of limited non-audit services (i.e. not required by law), compared to the average statutory audit fee presenting data for the previous three years. Limited non-audit services provided by KPMG were 0% of the average audit fee of the last three years (PLN 2,384 thousand). The calculation of the ratio for 2024 was prepared based on the interpretation of the Article 4.2 of the EU Regulation 537/2014 issued in December 2024 by Ministry of Finance. According to this interpretation, the scope of non-audit services which are subject to 70% ratio should be narrower in comparison to the interpretation used for 2023 calculation, i.e. services which are required by EU or national legislation to be performed by the auditor not only for Orange Polska purposes but also for Orange S.A. purposes, should be neutral in the calculation of the ratio (i.e. excluded from the calculation). Consequently, services related to the Orange S.A. Group reporting are not included in the 70% ratio calculation in 2024 as they are rendered for the purpose of the audit or review of Orange S.A. Group financial statements, which are required by EU law.

The policies on approval of non-audit services and on the selection of the statutory auditor of the financial statements were updated in 2024. The update of those policies resulted mostly from the introduction of the provisions of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive into Polish law.
Third, the feedback questionnaire referred to in the previous section included questions relating to the independence of the audit firm and individuals in the audit staff. There was no indication of a threat to the auditor's independence observed and reported by the respondents.
Taking into account all aspects described above the Audit Committee was satisfied with the auditor's independence.
In relation to the Group's financial statements, the Audit Committee focused on the following areas:
In relation to the Group's sustainability statement, the Audit Committee focused on:
Management implements internal controls at various levels of the organisation. The scope of these controls includes, but is not limited to, transactional level controls, line managers' or corporate reviews, trend analysis, reconciliation controls and entity level controls.
The Company continuously monitors the evolution of the control environment. It ensures that all significant changes are sufficiently controlled and any identified deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting system are addressed with action plans. On a quarterly basis, the system is monitored in a selfassessment tool implemented by the Company and, in addition, senior managers certify the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting in their areas of responsibility. On a yearly basis, the controls are subject to testing by the internal control team, internal and external auditors, and the results are reported to the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee received reports from Management on the internal control over financial reporting system, and monitored the appropriateness of the "control culture" as well as the way risks were identified, managed and disclosed. The Committee also reviewed reports from Management on implementation of actions in response to comments on internal controls from the internal and external auditors. In addition, the Audit Committee received assurance from management after completion of a yearly comprehensive assessment of Orange Polska Group's internal controls over financial reporting. All deficiencies identified were corrected or appropriate action points have been adopted in areas including management of IT systems and applications and the accounting valuation of lease transactions. Management concluded that there were no weaknesses that would materially impact internal control over financial reporting in the year ended 31 December 2024 and the Audit Committee was satisfied that Management's conclusion was reasonable in light of the reports it had received.
The same approach was adopted to the implementation of the internal control system over the sustainability statement. The Audit Committee monitored its implementation as well as the effectiveness of the functioning of internal controls in this area, including controls over calculation of energy volumes and GHG (Greenhouse gas) emissions. In particular, the Audit Committee monitored the results of internal audit of selected processes and all deficiencies or errors identified and their corrections.
In 2024, the auditor did not rely on internal controls of the Group in the limited assurance of the sustainability statement therefore the auditor did not report on the internal control system over the sustainability statement to the Audit Committee.
The Internal Audit function provides the Audit Committee, the Management Board and senior management with independent and objective assurance and advice on governance, risk management and internal control. It assists the organisation in reaching its objectives by systematically and methodically evaluating its processes, risk management and internal control system.
In addition to reviewing the effectiveness of these areas and reporting on aspects of the Orange Polska Group's compliance with them, Internal Audit makes recommendations to address any key issues and improve processes. Once any recommendations are agreed with management, Internal Audit monitors their implementation and reports to the Audit Committee on progress made at every meeting.
Internal Audit considers all of the Group's activities, and reports to the Audit Committee, and to the Management Board President. The Director of Internal Audit attends all scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, and also has the power to raise any matters with the members of the Committee without the presence of management.
Internal Audit responsibilities are clearly defined and approved as stated in the Internal Audit Charter which is reviewed and approved annually by the Audit Committee. The Internal Audit function acts in conformity with the International Professional Practices Framework of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and also, more generally objectively and with integrity. Internal Audit plans are drawn up annually and take account of risk assessment, changing business needs and issues raised by management, follow-up on prior audit findings and cyclical review planning. The approach also builds reserved hours into the plan for ad-hoc, specially requested audits, and for urgent audit issues that arise throughout the year. The Internal Audit team can be augmented with co-sourced external resources and expertise as needed to ensure adequate capacity for delivering the annual audit plan while maintaining the independence of these partners throughout their work. The annual plan of Internal Audit is submitted for review and opinion by the Audit Committee. Progress against the annual Internal Audit plan is monitored and regularly reported to the Audit Committee.
In the course of its work, the Internal Audit function also liaises with the statutory auditor, discussing relevant aspects of their respective activities and assisting them in internal control testing which ultimately supports the assurance provided to the Audit Committee and management.
The effectiveness of Internal Audit is monitored using the quality assurance and improvement programme which comprises internal assessment activities and annual external assessment by IFACI - l'Institut Francais de l'Audit et du Controle Internes (the French Chapter of the IIA). Following the assessment carried out in 2024, Orange Polska's Internal Audit renewed its IIA certification from IFACI.
The Audit Committee reviews the annual plan of Internal Audit, its budget and progress reports. The Committee monitors the periodic reporting on internal audit actions and findings and responsiveness of management to Internal Audit recommendations.
The Audit Committee is pleased to report that 97% of all audit actions have been completed on time for the last 3 years, with the timeliness of implementation for individual years being between 95% and 99%.
In addition, the Committee meets privately with the Director of Internal Audit and reviews the independence of the Internal Audit process.
The Audit Committee monitors the effectiveness of the risk management system. An updated report on the system's design and operation was reviewed by the Audit Committee.
Risks are identified within all relevant business units. The risks which are perceived by members of the Management Board or by Executive Directors as most significant for Orange Polska operations are qualified as top risks. In addition to top risks, emerging risks which may become top risks in the longer term are also identified. Updated reviews of top risks and emerging risks are reported to and assessed by the Supervisory Board once a year. All risks are grouped into clusters (risks of similar nature) to ensure consistent and effective risk management across all business units in OPL.
The top risk analysis is taken into account in the preparation of the annual Internal Audit plan. The plan addresses different aspects of top risks. The plan is submitted to the President of the Management Board for her approval and then to the Audit Committee for its review.
Matters related to the implementation of the Compliance Programme are reported to the Audit Committee in the following areas: ethics, general compliance with laws and regulations, anti-fraud, non-telco fraud, security and anti-corruption. As part of its periodic reports, the Compliance area informs the Audit Committee about activities carried-out, including, among others, the corruption risk map, due diligence on new contracting partners, communication and training activities and results of inspections including those initiated as a result of whistleblowing and information received through other dedicated channels. Orange Polska actively cooperates with the Orange France Group Compliance team sharing good practice and maintaining the Orange Group's anti-corruption standards.
The Compliance Programme in Orange Polska embraces the Company's obligations to act in line with the law, applicable standards, regulations, market and industry standards, as well as ethical principles, both in dealings with clients and business partners and between employees. One of the key elements of the Compliance Programme is the Anti-Corruption Policy, through which the Company adopts a zero-tolerance approach towards corruption with regard to every aspect of its activities. The correct application of Anti-Corruption Policy rules is supported by internal regulations with detailed guidelines and instructions aiming to identify and effectively prevent irregularities.
Also, in order to guard against the risks of corruption, non-compliance with economic sanctions, money laundering, terrorism financing and frauds, Orange Polska applies due diligence procedures in relationships with its business partners.
To prevent and control conflict of interest at Orange Polska, dedicated regulations were reinforced in the Company.
The Orange Polska Compliance team provides continuous information and training to build employees' awareness and knowledge. If a problematic situation arises, employees can access ongoing consultation,
advice and opinions. The Audit Committee reviews the summary on the Compliance Programme on an annual basis. No major issue was identified in 2024.
In the Company there is a fraud prevention control environment deployed and promoted through the provisions of the Fraud Prevention Policy. The Company does not tolerate fraud and there are control mechanisms implemented to mitigate exposure to fraud risks. Suspicions on abuses are verified and when necessary submitted to relevant authorities. The implemented tools and controls allow for the detection of frauds.
Orange Polska operates a 'risk based approach to fraud' i.e. identified risks are discussed and confirmed with business owners on an annual basis. Results are presented as the Fraud Risk Map. Additionally to mitigate non-telco fraud risk, red flags and list of controls which address risks in specific areas are defined and subject to annual review and assessment.
All of the above actions ensure monitoring of fraud risks and control enhancement, incident management, conducting investigations and reporting financial impact of fraud incidents. The Audit Committee reviews the summary of fraud incidents on an annual basis. No major issue was identified in 2024.
The Company provides different channels of communications where all employees and stakeholders can also report their doubts, observed irregularities or violations of applicable laws through dedicated channels, either anonymously or openly, without fear of negative consequences. All such notifications are treated confidentially and examined and addressed with due diligence. The Audit Committee reviews the summary of cases reported through the whistleblowing system.
Orange Polska adapted in 2024 its internal procedures to the new requirements of the Polish law, implementing the EU directive on the protection of whistleblowers.
Relevant changes in the legal environment, together with updates to accounting and reporting standards and recommendations from regulatory bodies, were considered by the Audit Committee, as well as the question of how Orange Polska Group approached and implemented them. The Audit Committee in particular looked also into the Company's preparation of sustainability statements required to be published in the European Union starting from the reporting for 2024.
The Audit Committee reviewed and issued opinions on significant transactions with related parties, in line with internal regulations and best practices of corporate governance. Orange SA's nominees are excluded from voting at Supervisory Board meetings and Audit Committee meetings on transactions involving Orange SA or its subsidiaries. The Committee reviewed other matters of interest, including but not limited to risk management, revenue assurance, hedging, insurance, tax and M&A transactions. Also the Audit Committee issued opinions on other matters referred to the Committee by the Supervisory Board and/or the Management Board including financing and granting bank guarantees to OPL's subsidiaries. The Audit Committee also worked with management to develop an improved approach to the supervision of OPL's subsidiaries.

Dear Shareholders,
As we reflect on the year 2024, we can recognise it as an important period in which we faced challenges in macroeconomic and in competitive environment. At the same time, 2024 was a period of remarkable achievements for Orange Polska. The year marked the conclusion of our ,Grow strategic plan with its focus on innovation and growth, while laying the groundwork for our future direction.
The Strategy Committee has been instrumental in navigating these challenges, ensuring that we not only completed our existing objectives but also prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
One of the significant milestones achieved this year was the rollout of our 5G network in C-band frequencies, made possible following the long-awaited distribution of this band. This allowed us to expedite our high-quality mobile network, which enhanced our service offerings and positioned us competitively in the market, providing our customers with the best possible experience.
Another top priority area for the Strategy Committee was the substantial progress in extending our fibre network. These efforts included organic growth as well as strategic partnerships and acquisitions, culminating in several important takeovers completed during 2024. These moves reflect our dedication to expanding our reach and enhancing connectivity for our customers.
As we prepare to define our new strategy, we have devoted considerable time to understanding the evolving economic and telecommunications landscape. This forward-looking analysis has been crucial in identifying trends and potential shifts that will shape our strategic decisions moving forward.
We appreciate your continued support and confidence in our leadership as we embark on this next chapter. Together, we will build on our successes and navigate the future with a clear vision and purpose.
Chairman of the Strategy Committee
Committee reviewed Orange Polska's progress report on implementation of the .Grow strategic directions and key ambitions. Challenges to execution of the strategy were analysed, together with the path to deliver all of its strategic goals by the end of 2024.
The Polish fiber market is experiencing significant growth in both infrastructure availability and retail services. OPL's strategy addresses this dynamic by maintaining a strong focus on expanding fiber reach through both organic and inorganic options, along with commercialization efforts. Discussions included rollout plans, participation in EU-funded programs, continued investment via FiberCo, and various M&A activities.
The Polish telco environment is fast evolving due to ongoing competitive pressure and increasing customer demands. The Committee exchanged on current and potential future evolution of operators strategic focus as well as existing geographical differences in their market positioning and perception. Forward looking market dynamics and consumer trends were discussed in light of the new Orange Polska strategy definition.
The Committee analysed key elements of Orange Polska mobile infrastructure strategy including technologies phaseout, new spectrum allocation, frequencies reshuffling, and the mobile network rollout plan. The context of competitive operators mobile network strategies was also discussed.
Orange is an industry leader in terms of ESG on Polish market, demonstrating strong execution delivered under .Grow strategy. Increasing regulatory pressure and business interest related to ESG highlight OPL's commitment to this area, including the implementation of new requirements for the ESG reporting process.
to the Supervisory Board resolution no. 14/25 dated 18 March 2025
This Report on the Remuneration of the Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. ("the Remuneration Report") has been developed by the Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. in compliance with the Act of 29 July 2005 on public offering and the conditions for introducing financial instruments to the organised trading system and on public companies ("the Public Offering Act").
The Report covers the financial year 2024 and provides an overview of the remuneration awarded in line with the Remuneration Policy of Orange Polska S.A. in force since 2013 and the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. in force since 17 June 2020 with subsequent amendments ("the Remuneration Policies").
The Remuneration Policies applied by Orange Polska S.A. ("the Company") are an element of its strategy. By enabling the recruitment, retention and motivation of the best managers and professionals in the specialised areas existing in Orange Polska S.A., they provide people prepared to achieve the strategic goals of the Company.
The Remuneration Policies support the implementation of the strategy of Orange Polska S.A. and the protection of its long-term interests. In particular, by ensuring market-competitive base salaries and additional benefits, Orange Polska S.A. strives to recruit and retain the Company's key people. The purpose of the short-term and long-term variable remuneration, which depends on the Company's key financial indicators, is to motivate the Management Board Members to achieve strategic goals, which are subsequently cascaded to employees at lower levels of the organisation in the form of management goals.
Remuneration levels within Orange Polska S.A. are regularly compared to the remuneration practices of competitive companies in the market. Total remuneration of employees depends in particular on the Company's financial results as well as each employee's individual contribution and performance.
Responding to the issues raised by our minority shareholders, we introduced some significant changes to the Report in 2023. In 2024, no major changes were introduced, and the outline of the Report and the scope of disclosures set in the previous year were maintained.
As of 1 January 2024, the Company's Management Board was composed of Liudmila Climoc, Jolanta Dudek, Bożena Leśniewska, Witold Drożdż, Piotr Jaworski, Jacek Kowalski, Jacek Kunicki and Maciej Nowohoński. The composition of the Management Board did not change in 2024.

Each Member of the Management Board was entitled to the variable remuneration component (Short Term Incentive Programme – STI) dependent on the achievement of financial and non-financial goals. The terms of awarding thereof changed in 2024 versus 2023 with respect to the settlement period, which was extended from six to twelve months.
The purpose of the bonus system has been to motivate Members of the Management Board to achieve high performance by attaining the predefined and agreed goals linked to the Company's strategy and growth of customer satisfaction. In addition, the system of objectives stimulates the cooperation among employees and business units by setting some solidarity goals in addition to individual ones.
For Members of the Management Board, the variable component of remuneration was more related to the Company's performance and depended more on the achievement of solidarity goals, which are financial goals shared by all Members of the Management Board, than in the case of other employees of the Company. For all Management Board Members solidarity goals account for 80% of the total, while for other employees with variable remuneration this share is between 30% and 60%.
The variable component of remuneration was payable on an annual basis and its calculation was based on the evaluation of the achievement of the goals defined for each Member of the Management Board in their individual task sheets. Pursuant to the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A., each Member of the Management Board was entitled to receive an advance on the variable remuneration component; and each Member of the Management Board received an advance on the variable remuneration component due for 2024 equal to 40% thereof. The advance payment was effected in July 2024.
Solidarity goals, related to the implementation of the Company's .Grow strategy for 2021–2024, included:
EBITDAaL is the primary measure used by the Management Board to measure operating profitability. The target for EBITDAaL growth is one of the main financial ambitions included in the .Grow strategy.
OCF is the primary measure of cash flow generation used by the Management Board. Its level is an important factor affecting the level of financial leverage and, consequently, is of great importance when the Management Board recommends the amount of dividend to shareholders.
The goal of reducing CO2 emissions is included in the .Grow strategy and the Company's climate strategy.
NPS is commonly used in the telecommunications sector to measure the level of customer satisfaction with services and is one of the indicators of how well an offer and customer service meet the needs, which in turn translates into the level of revenue generated.
In the individual part, the goals referred to specific projects implemented within the function performed by the Management Board Member and to the evaluation of their work.
Each goal has the predefined minimum achievement level, below which the related variable remuneration is not awarded. In addition, each goal has the predefined maximum achievement level, above which the related variable remuneration is not further increased. Depending on the goal, the maximum threshold is between 150% and 200% of its achievement.
Each goal has been assigned a weight and the amount of variable remuneration depends on the total weighted assessment of all goals. With the achievement of goals assessed at 100%, the variable remuneration component was 50% of the base salary due for the given period under the employment contract. With the achievement of all goals at the maximum level, variable remuneration component would have been 82.5% of the base remuneration.
Performance in 2024 permitted awarding the variable remuneration component to all Members of the Management Board, which is presented for each Board Member separately in the Tables 1–8 below.
In addition to the variable remuneration component, on 22 March 2024 the Supervisory Board, upon request of its Remuneration Committee, granted the President of the Management Board and Members of the Management Board the right to an additional annual bonus referred to as the Stretch Bonus. The award of this bonus was based on two financial indicators: EBITDAaL and EBITDAaL–eCAPEX (see Table 9 below). Unlike the terms of awarding the variable remuneration component described above, the Stretch Bonus is awarded in a predefined amount only if both targets are achieved jointly (on a hit-or-miss basis). For Members of the Management Board, the Stretch Bonus amounts to one monthly base salary. In the case of the President of the Management Board it was EUR 140 thousand in 2024. As the predefined conditions were met, the Stretch Bonus for the President and other Members of the Management Board for 2024 will be paid in 2025.
The remuneration of each Member of the Management Board complied with the adopted Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board. The goals and the terms of their settlement were approved by the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board.
The achievement of the goals by Members of the Management Board was assessed on an annual basis by the Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. upon recommendation of the Remuneration Committee thereof and the bonus was accrued pro rata to the employment period.
In the tables below, the term "Budget" refers to Orange Polska's Budget for 2024 approved by the Supervisory Board.

On 23 July 2021, the Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. adopted the Long Term Incentive Programme for the key executives of Orange Polska S.A. based on derivatives (phantom shares), where the underlying instrument is the price of Orange Polska S.A. shares listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The scheme aims to mobilise the key executives towards the long-term financial performance of the Company and value creation for the investors, as well as environmental care. The latter dimension of activities focuses on a reduction of CO2 emissions and, as an incentive instrument, directly supports the implementation of one of the key elements of Orange Polska's strategy, which is environmental protection.
The Programme is divided into three-year cycles (Programme Series), beginning in consecutive calendar years. Four series, namely 2021–2023 (Series One), 2022–2024 (Series Two), 2023–2025 (Series Three) and 2024–2026 (Series Four), have been launched in the Programme.
In accordance with the adopted Programme Regulations, the President and other Members of the Management Board could purchase 43,200 phantom shares each at a price of PLN 0.50 per phantom or receive 40,800 free phantom shares each in each Programme Series. The Supervisory Board determines in a resolution either the price or free disposal of phantom shares as well as their number available in subsequent series, starting from the 2023–2025 period.
The programme implementation has been based on the following principles:

This Report presents information concerning remuneration of Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, while omits information concerning remuneration of the employees of Orange Polska other than Members of the Management Board or the Supervisory Board, except for the data presented in the Table 24 above.
The Report on the Remuneration of the Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. in 2023 was drawn up and adopted by the Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. on 22 March 2024 in line with the requirements set forth in the Act of 29 July 2005 on public offering and the conditions for introducing financial instruments to the organised trading system and on public companies. The Annual General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A. expressed a positive opinion on the Report on the Remuneration of the Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. in 2023 (Resolution no. 31 of the Annual General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A. dated 19 April 2024).
The goals and weights (presented in section 3.e above) that will constitute the basis for awarding the variable remuneration component for all Members of the Management Board have changed in 2025 versus 2024. The structure of solidarity goals will be expanded to include an additional goal: Revenues with the weight of 10%; simultaneously, the weight of Organic Cash Flow will be reduced from 30% to 20%, so that the sum of the weights is still 100%. Apart from the aforementioned change, the other conditions remain the same versus 2024.

At the request of Orange Polska S.A. (the "Entity") we performed an independent reasonable assurance engagement relating to evaluation of the remuneration report of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for year 2024 (the "Remuneration report") in terms of the inclusion of the information required under Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act on Public Offering and Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organized Trading, and Public Companies dated 29 July 2005 (the "Act").
Members of the Entity's Supervisory Board are responsible for the preparation of the Remuneration report in accordance with Article 90g of the Act. This responsibility also includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of the Remuneration report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Our objective was to evaluate the completeness of the information included in the Remuneration report against the criteria set out in the section "Identification of the Criteria" and to issue an independent reasonable assurance conclusion based on the evidence obtained.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), "Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" as adopted by the National Council of Statutory Auditors ("NCSA") as National Standard on Assurance Engagements Other Than Audit and Review 3000 (R). That standard requires that the auditor plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Remuneration report has been prepared completely and that the information has been disclosed with the level of detail required by Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act.
The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management (PL) 1 "Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagement" as adopted by the Council of Polish Agency for Audit Oversight as National Standard on Quality Control 1, which requires us to design, implement and operate a system of quality

management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have complied with the independence and ethics requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) of the International Ethics Standards Board For Accountants (IESBA Code) as adopted by the resolution of the NCSA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior as well as other independence and ethical requirements, applicable to this assurance engagement in Poland.
The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement in the Remuneration report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we have considered internal control relevant to the preparation of the Remuneration report in accordance with Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act in order to design assurance procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing a conclusion as to the effectiveness of internal control.
Our procedures included, in particular:
The Remuneration report was not subject of audit within the meaning of National Standards on Auditing. The procedures performed by us do not constitute either an audit or review of this financial information, therefore we are not responsible for issuing or updating any reports or opinions on the Entity's historical financial information.
Our procedures were solely aimed at obtaining evidence that the information included by the Supervisory Board in the Remuneration report, in terms of its completeness complies with the applicable requirements. The purpose of our work was not to assess the sufficiency of the information included in the Remuneration report in terms of the purpose of preparing the Remuneration report, or to assess the correctness and integrity of the information contained therein, in particular as to the amounts disclosed, including estimates made for prior years, figures, dates, analysis, allocation methods and compliance with the adopted remuneration policy.
Our procedures also included an assessment of whether the subject matter of the engagement is appropriate and the criteria adopted for preparation of the Remuneration report are appropriate to the given circumstances.

The evaluation criteria of the Remuneration report are set out in Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act.
Our conclusion has been formed on the basis of, and is subject to, the matters outlined above.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
In our opinion, the Remuneration report, in all material respects, contains all the elements listed in Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act.
Our report has been prepared for the General Shareholders' Meeting and Supervisory Board in order to meet the requirements of the Article 90g paragraph 10 of the Act and shall not be used for any other purpose. KPMG accepts no liability in relation to this report, arising from contractual or non-contractual relationships (including negligence) in relation to third parties. The above does not exclude our liability where such exclusion is disallowed by law.
