This report on remuneration of Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. was prepared in accordance with the requirements set out in the Act on Public Offering, Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organised Trading, and Public Companies, of 29 July 2005 (consolidated text: Dz.U. of 2024, item 620) (the "Act on Public Offering"). It covers the year 2023 and contains an overview of the remuneration paid to Members of the Company's governing bodies in that reporting period in accordance with the applicable internal regulations, including the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Polski Koncern Naftowy ORLEN S.A. (the "Remuneration Policy"), adopted by Resolution No. 29 of the Annual General Meeting of 5 June 2020.

This module contains a comprehensive description of the components of remuneration payable to Members of the Management Board and Members of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. for 2023, and relates to the remuneration of members of the management and supervisory bodies pursuant to the Act on Rules of Remunerating Persons Who Direct Certain Companies of 9 June 2016 (the "Remuneration Act") (Dz.U. of 2020, item 1907, as amended) and in accordance with the Company's Remuneration Policy.

On 5 June 2020, the Annual General Meeting of ORLEN S.A. passed Resolution No. 29 to approve the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A., setting the general rules of remuneration for Members of the Company Management Board and Supervisory Board, including the structure of remuneration payable to members of the Company's governing bodies.

The Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board supports the achievement of the Company's goals, including in particular a long-term increase of its shareholder value and stability of operations. One of the key objectives of the Remuneration Policy for members of the Company's governing bodies is to support the delivery of the long-term strategic goals, while ensuring the Company's solid financial performance and stability.

The remuneration of Members of the Management Board was determined by the Supervisory Board pursuant to RESOLUTION NO. 44 OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF POLSKI KONCERN NAFTOWY ORLEN SPÓŁKA AKCYJNA of 14 June 2019 to amend Resolution No. 4 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 24 January 2017 on the rules of remuneration for Members of the Management Board, as amended by Resolution No. 29 of the Annual General Meeting of 30 June 2017, Resolution No. 4 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 2 February 2018, and Resolution No. 1 of the Annual General Meeting of 17 July 2018, and in connection with the Remuneration Act as well as recommendations of the Supervisory Board's Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Since the adoption of the Remuneration Policy by the General Meeting, the rules of remuneration for Members of the Management Board have also incorporated the rules set forth in that Policy.

In 2023, all components of the remuneration of Members of the Management Board were set out in the individuals contracts for the provision of management services between Management Board Member and the Company ("Contract(s)").

I n t r o d u c t i o n

On 21 June 2023, the Annual General Meeting of the Company passed Resolution No. 58 to amend its Articles of Association so as to rename the Company "ORLEN Spółka Akcyjna".

Key changes in the composition of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. in 2023:

  • On 11 January 2023, the Minister of State Assets, acting on behalf of the shareholder Polish State Treasury pursuant to Article 8(2)(1) of the Company's Articles of Association, appointed Janina Goss to the Supervisory Board of PKN ORLEN S.A.
  • On 20 October 2023, Michał Klimaszewski resigned from the ORLEN Supervisory Board, effective as of 31 October 2023.
  • On 13 December 2023, the Minister of State Assets, acting on behalf of the shareholder State Treasury pursuant to Article 8.2.1 of the Company's Articles of Association, removed Ms. Goss from the ORLEN Supervisory Board.

For the performance of the Contract, a Management Board Member is entitled to total remuneration consisting of a fixed component, representing that Member's monthly base pay ("Fixed Remuneration"), and a variable component, i.e. supplementary remuneration payable to that Member for the Company's financial year ("Variable Remuneration"), as well as certain additional benefits (on the terms set out in the respective Contract and in the Remuneration Act).

Structure of total remuneration of Members of the Management Board of ORLEN S.A.

* Under the Remuneration Policy, the Management Board Members may also receive additional benefits, irrespective of the Fixed Remuneration and Variable Remuneration.

FIXED REMUNERATION OF MANAGEMENT BOARD MEMBERS

In 2023, the Fixed Remuneration of Management Board Members represented the monthly base pay for serving in their respective roles at the Company and for performing responsibilities assigned to those roles, taking into account the prevailing market conditions:

  • Management Board Members received remuneration under a contract concluded for the period of service on the Company's Management Board;
  • The monthly amount of Fixed Remuneration payable to Management Board Members was determined by way of a Supervisory Board resolution, taking into account the provisions of the Remuneration Act and the resolution of theGeneral Meeting on the rules of remuneration for Members of the Management Board;

When determining the amount of Fixed Remuneration payable to Management Board Members, the Supervisory Board considered the following criteria:

Remuneration paid to the directors of companies with a similar business size and profile (taking into account the size of the ORLEN Group's business, including its business on international markets).

The Company's General Meeting set a fixed portion of the remuneration of Management Board Members in accordance with Art. 4 of the Remuneration Act, taking into account the scale of the Company's operations, in particular its total assets, net annual turnover and headcount, within the range of 7x–15x the reference amount, namely the average salary in the non-financial corporate sector (net of bonuses paid from profit) in the fourth quarter ofthe previous year, as announced by the President of Statistics Poland.

Under the Contracts in place, as approved by the Supervisory Board, the Fixed Remuneration of a Management Board Member per month amounts to 15x the reference amount, namely the average salary in the non-financial corporate sector (net of bonuses paid from profit) in the fourth quarter of the previous year, as announced by the President of Statistics Poland (PLN 6,965.84).

VARIABLE REMUNERATION OF MANAGEMENT BOARD MEMBERS

  • Members of the Management Board of ORLEN S.A. are entitled to Variable Remuneration under the terms specified in their respective Contracts, which incorporate the Rules of the Incentive Scheme for the Management Board as an appendix.
  • The Variable Remuneration for 2022 paid to Management Board Members in 2023 represented their supplementary remuneration for a given financial year, which was contingent on the achievement of Management Objectives and did not exceed 100% of the Fixed Remuneration paid to a Management Board Member in the previous financial year, for which the Variable Remuneration is calculated.

Key principles taken into account in granting Variable Remuneration for 2022 to Management Board Members in 2023:

  • The Variable Remuneration for a financial year could not exceed100% of the Fixed Remuneration due in the previous financial year, for which the Variable Remuneration is calculated;
  • The Variable Remuneration of Management Board Members was contingent on their performance against individual bonus-triggering objectives (both qualitative and quantitative), set by the Supervisory Board for individual Members of the Management Board, with Management Objectives being the same for all Management Board Members, including the CEO;
  • Based on the general set of Management Objectives established by the General Meeting, the Supervisory Board set individual bonus-triggering objectives recorded in a Management Board Member's MBO Sheet;
  • The Supervisory Board also set separate objectives that needed to bemet as a precondition to payment of Variable Remuneration forthe year;
  • Details of the Management Objectives, as well as the weights and criteria for assessing their achievement by individual Management Board Members, were specified in a Supervisory Board resolution;
  • The Supervisory Board assessed the performance of each Management Board Member against their individual bonus-triggering objectives (both quantitative and qualitative) and the separate objectives that had to be met as a precondition to payment of Variable Remuneration. This assessment was based on a recommendation from the President of the Management Board, who provided an evaluation of the performance of all Management Board Members. Due to the uniformity of the Management Objectives, individual assessments were not possible. Reports on the achievement of Management Objectives were standardised for all Management Board members. Accordingly, the evaluation of the fulfilment of the Management Objectives was based on the financial statements and other documents of the ORLEN Group.
  • The Management Board Members' performance against individual quantitative bonus-triggering objectives was assessed based on the number of percentage points assigned, while their performance against individual qualitative bonus objectives was assessed based on the degree of achievement of qualitative objectives in accordance with the Rules of the Incentive Scheme for the Management Board. The performance against individual bonus-triggering objectives was measured as the weighted sum of percentage points assigned by the Supervisory Board for each bonus-triggering objective;
  • The Variable Remuneration of each Management Board Member was payable upon approval by the General Meeting of the Group's consolidated financial statements, the Management Board's report on the operations of the Company and the Group, as well as the Company's financial statements for the current financial year, and upon granting liability discharge to the Management Board Member in respect of performance of their duties.

Pursuant to RESOLUTION NO. 44 OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF POLSKI KONCERN NAFTOWY ORLEN SPÓŁKA AKCYJNA of 14 June 2019 to amend Resolution No. 4 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 24 January 2017 on the rules of remuneration for Members of the Management Board, as amended by Resolution No. 29 of the Annual General Meeting of 30 June 2017, Resolution No. 4 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 2 February 2018, and Resolution No. 1 of the Annual General Meeting of 17 July 2018, a set of Management Objectives for 2019 and subsequent years was established, including in particular:

  • Improvement of operational efficiency indicators,
  • Improvement of cost efficiency at the ORLEN Group,
  • Implementation of strategic investment projects in line with the approved budget and schedule at the ORLEN Group,
  • Implementation of a long-term strategy with respect to security of supplies, and with respect to procurement and storage of energy (fuels, electricity and heat), including in particular upstream access and diversification of the procurement portfolio,
  • Increase of the TSR (Total Shareholder Return) of ORLEN S.A.relative to the market,
  • Reduction of the Total Recordable Rate at the ORLEN Group,
  • Development of the project portfolio and increasing the amount of expenditure allocated to research, development and innovation.

The Supervisory Board set the same quantitative objectives for all Members of the Management Board for 2022 and assigned relevant bonus thresholds to these objectives:

LIFO-based EBITDA of the ORLEN Group,

Net debt/EBITDA of the ORLEN Group,

  • Development CAPEX of the ORLEN Group, excluding Olefin III,
  • CAPEX Projects: Development of olefins production at the Płock Plant (Olefin III Complex) and Essential Infrastructure at the Płock Plant – Olefins III,
  • Maintenance CAPEX of the ORLEN Group,
  • General and payroll costs of the ORLEN Group,
  • Stock performance: TSR of PKN ORLEN relative to the market,
  • Accident rate: TRR of the ORLEN Group and its external contractors;

The Supervisory Board also established the same qualitative objectives for all Management Board Members for 2022, related to the key challenges faced by the Group in that year:

Implementation of projects within the SRA domains, utilising innovation-supporting tools such as Accelerators and R&D Centres of the Group, particularly focused on: decarbonisation, low-emission power generation technologies, hydrogen production, green petrochemicals, circular economy, and digitalisation.

The above objectives were set for Management Board Members in 2022, and therefore their achievement could be taken as the basis for the payment of Variable Remuneration as specified in this Report.

Implementation of the strategic initiatives planned for 2022

Implementation of key strategic projects, including:

  • Conducting the acquisition of Grupa LOTOS and implementation of related remedies,
  • Executing tasks as part of acquiring control of the PGNiG Group,
  • Development of renewable energy and gas-fired power generation assets: o Offshore Wind Farm Programme – conducting pre-development work in accordance with the project assumptions, including efforts to obtain licenses for new offshore wind farm locations; o Development of CCGT project – commencing the construction of CCGT Ostrołęka and developing the CCGT Grudziądz project as planned.
  • Expansion of the service station chain, including their service offerings, and continued integration of the ORLEN Group's retail activities,
  • Advancing hydrogen projects in line with the ORLEN Group's Hydrogen Strategy,
  • Implementing decarbonisation measures. Taking action to fulfil the ORLEN Group's commitment to reducing emissions from its refining, petrochemical, and power generation assets.

Implementation of ESG and sustainability projects provided for in the 2030 Strategy and the ORLEN Group Sustainable Development Strategy for 2021–2023.

Additionally, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the General Meeting, the Supervisory Board set the following separate objectives as a precondition to payment of Variable Remuneration for 2022:

  • compliance with the principles of remuneration for members of management and supervisory bodies of all Group companies, in line with the Act on Rules of Remunerating Persons Managing Certain Companies of 16 June 2016;
  • discharge of the obligations referred to in Art. 17-20, Art. 22 and Art. 23 of the Act on State Property Management of 16 December 2016 ("State Property Management Act") at the Company's subsidiaries within the meaning of Art. 4.3 of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection of 16 February 2007.

Appendix 1 to the Report: MBO sheets for Members of the Management Board for 2022

Establishing identical quantitative and qualitative objectives for all Management Board Members appears questionable in the light of the provisions regarding individual bonus-triggering tasks. Given the diverse responsibilities of each Management Board Member, at least the qualitative objectives should be tailored individually.

Pursuant to the Contract, a Supervisory Board resolution is the basis for payment of Variable Remuneration, subject to prior approval by the General Meeting of the Management Board's report on the Company's operations, ORLEN S.A.'s financial statements and the ORLEN Group's consolidated financial statements for a given year and subject to granting liability discharge to a Management Board Member in respect of performance of their duties. Variable Remuneration is paid once a year,by the end of the calendar year in which the General Meeting ofORLEN S.A. approves the above mentioned reports and financial statements.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS FOR MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

In addition to the Fixed Remuneration and Variable Remuneration, Management Board Members were entitled to certain additional benefits in 2023. The value of additional benefits constituted the Management Board Member's incomebefore tax and was not included in the Fixed Remuneration.

The Contract provides for the following types of benefits (added to the Management Board Member's income before tax):

  • Coverage of the costs of medical treatment, preventive healthcare and medical care, including with respect to a Management Board Member's closest family members or persons who share the same household with the Management Board Member;
  • Coverage of the costs of accommodation or rental of dwellings if the Company's registered office is more than 100 km away from the Management Board Member's place of residence;
  • Coverage or refinancing of the costs of individual trainingreceived by the Management Board Member and related to the scope of their duties performed for the Company;
  • Payment of additional third-party liability insurance (OC insurance) to the extent not covered by the general insurance policy for the Directors and Officers of the ORLEN Group companies (applicable to the President of the Management Board);
  • Severance payment on Contract termination;
  • Non-compete compensation on termination of service on the Management Board;
  • In the event of termination of the Contract with President of the Management Board – compensation equivalent to three times the Fixed Remuneration for remaining available to the Company for three months from the date of termination. During this period, the Company is obliged to provide to President of the Management Board the Company car used by him/her on the date of termination, alongwith a driver, and the apartment occupied by him/her on the date of termination.

In addition:

  • Pursuant to the ECP Act, the Company has established an Employee Capital Plan (ECP) to enable its employees to make regular savings. Members of the Management Board are also eligible participate in the ECP;
  • A Management Board Member may use a Company-owned car for private purposes for a lump-sum fee payable to the Company, which is either deducted from that Member's remuneration or paid by that Member.

Members of the Supervisory Board were entitled to monthly remuneration payable based on the corporate relationship resulting from their appointment as Supervisory Board Members, for the duration of their service at the Company, and to reimbursement of expenses related tothe performance of their duties.

The rules of remuneration for Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board were determined in accordance with the Remuneration Act and in consideration of the Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Polski Koncern Naftowy ORLEN S.A. adopted by Resolution No. 29 of the Annual General Meeting of Polski Koncern Naftowy ORLEN S.A. of 5 June 2020. The Remuneration Policy at ORLEN is designed to support the achievement of the Company's objectives, especially the long-term growth in shareholder value and operational stability.

  • The rules of remuneration for Supervisory Board Members were determined in a resolution passed by the Company's General Meeting, taking into account the rules stipulated in the Commercial Companies Code and the Company's Articles of Association, as well as pursuant to and within the limits specified in the Remuneration Act.
  • In 2023, the ORLEN Group adopted and prepared for operationalisation its updated business strategy for 2030. This strategic revision was necessitated by the new asset configuration within the Group, following the mergers with Grupa LOTOS S.A. and PGNiG S.A., coupled with long-term trends, regulatorychanges, and evolving political and economic conditions.
  • The ORLEN Group's strategy is centred on transforming it into a multi-utility group, with strong foundations in the upstream, downstream, and energy sectors and thus capable of ensuring Central Europe's energy security. The strategy also aims to position the ORLEN Group as an energy transition leader in Central Europe, including through achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
  • 2023 saw investments in energy transition and project to implement the Group's decarbonisation plan, with a particular focus on low- and zero-emission power generation. These initiatives spanned several key areas, including wind energy, electromobility, biofuels, biogas and biomethane, CCUS technologies, zero-emission hydrogen, synthetic fuels, advanced recycling, and SMR.
  • To facilitate the achievement of the Group's objectives, the Sustainable Development Strategy and Climate Policy were adopted, which outline a comprehensive action plan for the ORLEN Group with specific objectives in sustainable development and the management of risks and opportunities arisingfrom climate change.
  • Concurrently, efforts were underway to further integrate the new Group structure by executing the PMI programme, which identifies key synergies within the Group after the recent mergers.
  • The strategic projects undertaken within our various business segments, as reflected in the Management Objectives assigned to Management Board Members, were aimed at ensuring:
    • In the Downstream segment – further integration of the refining assets, stable output, and development of petrochemical and low-emission and gas-fired energy generation assets.
    • In the Upstream segment – a focus on high-quality assets, particularly in the North Sea, to ensure, among other things, the security of gas supplies to Poland.

In the Retail segment – continued development and integration of the sales network and non-fuel offerings, and the strengthening of customer relations. In 2023, the Group successfully entered its seventh market – Austria. At the same time, the project to deploy EV chargers was continued.

The maximum allowable amount of Variable Remuneration did not exceed 100% of the Fixed Remuneration for the previous year, as determined in accordance with the Contract.

Assessment criteria for quantitative objectives

In setting the quantitative objectives for Management Board Members, the expected levels of achievement (thresholds) were defined. The key sources of data for quantitative financial objectives included materials concerning the Budget for the year, as presented to the Supervisory Board, the audited financial statements, reporting systems such as SAP, HFM Planning and HFM Statutory Reporting, as well as accounting records, underlying documents and public stock exchange data.

The Supervisory Board assessed the achievement of quantitative objectives (Individual Bonus-Triggering Objectives) by assigning percentage points, in accordance

with the Rules of the Incentive Scheme for the Management Board of PKN ORLEN S.A.

Assessment criteria for qualitative objectives

  • The assessment of fulfilment by Management Board Members ofqualitative objectives was to be based on:
  • Rules of the Incentive Scheme for the Management Board:

    • • Reports of Management Board Members on the delivery of qualitative objectives.
    • Achievement of the objectives related to the delivery of strategic Programmes and Projects, as well as innovations, including:
  • • Efficiency of the activities pursued as part of the projects;

  • • Effects of actions taken as part of the projects defined in the MBO Sheet on the delivery of the Strategy;
  • • Level of a Management Board Member's involvement in the achievement of a given objective;
  • • Implementation of external and internal innovations through R&D&I projects, in keeping with the Strategic Research Agenda;
  • • Building a culture of innovation by developing innovationacquisition tools at ORLEN.
  • Additional factors and reports:

    • • Macroeconomic environment as well as legal and administrative conditions facilitating or determining the achievement of qualitative objectives;
    • • Market trends;
  • • Reports on the delivery of Strategic Projects and Initiatives;

  • • Reports on the delivery of the ORLEN Group's Strategy submitted on a regular basis to the Supervisory Board;

Scale applied to assess the achievement of qualitative objectives set out in the Rules of the Incentive Scheme for the Management Board.

Assessment criteria for fulfilment of separate objectives that needed to be met as a precondition to payment of Variable Remuneration for 2022, the amount of which is specified in this Report:

  • The assessment of fulfilment by Management Board Members ofthe separate objective was to be based on:
  • Report of the Management Board of ORLEN S.A. for 2022 on the application of the principles of remunerating members of management and supervisory boards of ORLEN Group companies in accordance with the Remuneration Act;
  • Report of the Management Board of ORLEN S.A. for 2022 on the performance of obligations under the Act on State Property Management at ORLEN Group subsidiaries;

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF ORLEN S.A.

The business analysis and assessment of ORLEN S.A.'s performance rely mainly on LIFO-based EBITDA ("LIFO EBITDA"), Which fully reflects the effect of the macroeconomic variables on the Company's performance by measuring feedstock consumption at the currently prevailing market prices.

Chart 1. LIFO EBITDA at ORLEN S.A. in 2019–2023 (excluding the effect of impairment losses*) (PLN million)

* Net effect of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets (excluded from LIFO EBITDA):

  • 2019: PLN -8 million,
  • 2020: PLN -23 million,
  • 2021: PLN -78 million,

  • 2022: PLN 3,470 million,

  • 2023: PLN 14,525 million.

The operating results for 2022 and 2023 include the effects of recognition and integration of the assets of Grupa LOTOS S.A. and the PGNiG Branch Complex after the mergers on 1 August and 2 November 2022, respectively. Given the changes in ORLEN S.A.'s structure arising from the recognition and integration of certain operations of Grupa LOTOS S.A. and the PGNiG Branch Complex in 2022 and 2023, which precludes a direct y/y comparison, the identified business effects have been evaluated based on a comparable organisational structure of ORLEN S.A. The impact of the changes on results of the business operations absorbed by ORLEN S.A. from Grupa LOTOS S.A. and the PGNiG Branch Complex has been presented underother operating factors.

LIFO EBITDA of ORLEN S.A. for 2023, net of impairment losses on non-current assets, was PLN 44,250 million, including the effect of accounting for the final fair values of the PGNiG Branch Complex's assets and liabilities as at the acquisition date, of PLN 15,791 million. LIFO EBITDA of PLN 48,036 million for 2022 included the effect of accounting for the final fair values of assets and liabilities of the PGNiG Branch Complex and Grupa LOTOS S.A. as at the acquisition date, of PLN 9,246 million, as well as gain on bargain acquisition of Grupa LOTOS S.A. and the PGNiG Branch Complex, of PLN 17,810 million.

Net of the one-off effects in both years, LIFO EBITDA for 2023 wasPLN 28,459 million, up by PLN 7,479 million (y/y).

Changes in macroeconomic factors increased ORLEN S.A.'s results by PLN 3,168 million (y/y), primarily attributed to the non-recurrence of a negative impact from 2022's hedging transactions valued at PLN 1,695 million (y/y), the valuation of CO2 futures contracts at PLN 1,577 million, and higher margins on heavy fuel oil. The positive effects were offset by an adverse effect of the price differentials of the processed crude grades, lower margins on light and middle distillates, olefins, polyolefins, fertilizers and PTA, as well as a negative effect of the Polish złoty strengthening against the US dollar.

Total sales volumes were down by (4%), or (666) thousand tonnes. As a result, the effect of the change in product sales volumes and the change in the crude slate at ORLEN S.A. was PLN (9,813) million (y/y).

The effect of other factors was positive atPLN 14,124 million (y/y)and included:

  • • a PLN 23,310 million (y/y) increase in the results of the PGNiG Branch Complex, after eliminating the gain on bargain purchase and recognising the final acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed;
  • • a PLN (3,447) million year-on-year decrease in results of Grupa LOTOS S.A. (integrated into ORLEN S.A.'s operations), after eliminating the gain on bargain purchase and recognising the final acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed;
  • • the effect of other factors of PLN (5,739) million (y/y), including lower wholesale margins, increased operating costs of service stations, higher overheads and labour costs, and the negative impact of drawing from the historical layers of inventory.

INDEPENDENT STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE ASSURANCE ENGAGEMENT PROVIDING REASONABLE ASSURANCE

Translation of the document originally issued in Polish To the General Meeting and the Supervisory Board of Orlen S.A.

We have been engaged to assess the accompanying report on remuneration of Orlen S.A. (hereinafter "the Company" / "Bank") for year 2023 in terms of the completeness of information contained therein as required by Article 90g sections 1-5 and section 8 of the Act on Public Offering and Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to an Organized Trading System and Public Companies of 29 July 2005 (consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2024, item 620) (hereinafter "Act on Public Offering").

Identification of Criteria and Description of the Subject of the Engagement

The report on remuneration was prepared by the Supervisory Board in order to meet the requirements of Article 90g section 1 of the Act on Public Offering. The applicable requirements concerning the report on remuneration are laid out in the Act on Public Offering.

The requirements described in the preceding sentence provide the basis of the report on remuneration and form, in our opinion, appropriate criteria to formulate a conclusion providing reasonable assurance.

In accordance with the requirements of Article 90g section 10 of the Act on Public Offering, the report on remuneration is subject to the statutory auditor's assessment with respect to the inclusion of information required under Article 90g sections 1-5 and 8 of the Act on Public Offering. This report has been prepared to meet this requirement.

We define the statutory auditor's assessment mentioned in the preceding sentence and providing the basis for formulating our conclusion giving reasonable assurance as the assessment whether, in all material respects, the scope of information presented in the report on remuneration is complete and the information was disclosed with level of detail required by the Act on Public Offering.

Responsibility of the Supervisory Board Members

In accordance with the Act on Public Offering the Supervisory Board Members of the Company are responsible for preparing the report on remuneration in accordance with the applicable legal regulations, and in particular for the completeness of this report and the information contained therein.

The responsibility of the Supervisory Board also includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of such internal control as determined to be necessary to enable the

preparation of the complete report on remuneration that is free from material misstatement due to fraud or error.

Statutory Auditor's Responsibility

Our objective was to assess the completeness of information included in the accompanying report on remuneration with respect to the criterion defined in the Identification of criteria and description of the subject of the engagement section and formulate based on the evidence obtained an independent conclusion of the assurance engagement performed providing reasonable assurance.

We performed our assurance engagement in accordance with the National Standard on Assurance Engagements Other than Audit and Review 3000 (Revised) in the form of the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (revised) – 'Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information adopted by resolution no. 3436/52e/2019 of the National Council of Statutory Auditors of 8 April 2019, as amended (hereinafter "NSAE 3000 (R)").

This standard imposes an obligation on the auditor to plan and execute procedures in order to obtain reasonable assurance, that the report on remuneration was prepared in a complete manner in accordance with specified criteria.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an engagement conducted in accordance with the NSAE 3000 (R) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatements due to fraud or error. When performing risk assessment and in order to design appropriate procedures to be performed the auditor takes into consideration the internal controls related to the preparation of the complete report, which can provide the auditor with sufficient and appropriate evidence. The assessment of the internal controls was not performed for the purpose of expressing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

Summary of the Work Performed and Limitations of our Procedures

Procedures performed by us included in particular:

  • getting acquainted with the report on remuneration and comparison of information contained therein to the applicable requirements;

  • determining, by comparison to corporate documents, the list of persons with respect to which it is required to disclose information in the report on remuneration;
  • determining whether all information provided for by the criteria concerning the preparation of the report on remuneration has been disclosed by inquiries to persons

responsible for preparing the report, and where applicable, directly to persons concerned by the disclosure requirement.

Our procedures were aimed exclusively at obtaining evidence that the information included by the Supervisory Board in the report on remuneration in terms of their completeness complies with the applicable requirements.

The report on remuneration was not subject to audit in the sense of National Standards on Auditing. During the assurance procedures carried out we have not performed an audit or review of information used to prepare the report on remuneration and therefore we do not assume the responsibility for issuing or updating any reports or opinions on historical financial information of the Company.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
