    1. Pursuant to Article 349 § 1 of the Commercial Companies Code and § 50(4) of the Bank's Statutes, and based on Management Board resolution no. 227/2023 of 16 November 2023 and Supervisory Board resolution no. 144/2023 of 16 November 2023, on 29 December 2023, the Bank paid interim dividend of PLN 2,375,901,550.50 (Interim Dividend) to shareholders. 102,189,314 (say: one hundred two million, one hundred eighty nine thousand and three hundred fourteen) series A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N and O shares gave entitlement to the Interim Dividend. The Interim Dividend per share was PLN 23.25 and the record date for the Interim Dividend was 22 December 2023.
    1. The Interim Dividend was paid from the Dividend Reserve created by force of resolution no. 6/2021 to which part of net profit earned by the Bank in the accounting year from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 was allocated by force of the Annual General Meeting's resolution no. 6 of 19 April 2023 and it does not reduce the dividend to be paid out to the shareholders in line with §1(1) and (2) and § 2.

§ 3

This resolution becomes effective on the day of its adoption.

Recommendation of the Bank's Management Board regarding proposed 2023 profit distribution

The arguments supporting the proposal are presented below.

As at 31 December 2023, the capital ratios were as follows:

  • − Tier 1 capital ratio of 19.62% and 17.18% for the Bank and the Bank's Group, respectively;
  • − total capital ratio of 21.24% and 18.56% for the Bank and the Bank's Group, respectively.

Based on the status as at 31 December 2023 (the Bank's quarterly data on own funds and monthly data on receivables portfolio), the Bank met the basic criteria defined in the Polish Financial Supervision Authority's guidance of 14 December 2023 on the dividend policy of commercial banks for 2024 to pay a dividend up to 50% of its net profit earned in the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. Additionally, after factoring in the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio measured as the share of NPLs in the total portfolio of receivables from the non-financial sector, including debt instruments, the potential dividend payout ratio was increased to 75% in view of the Bank's sound credit quality.

At the same time, the Bank's receivables arising from unsecured FX home loans to households do not account for more than five percent of its portfolio of receivables from the non-financial sector.

Taking into account the lack of additional adjustments, in the individual recommendation addressed to the Bank, the KNF informed the Bank that it met the requirements to pay out 75% of its net profit for 2023 in the form of a dividend, whilst the maximum payment cannot exceed the amount of the annual profit reduced by the profit earned in 2023 already allocated to own funds. The Bank hereby explains that it has not allocated to own funds any amount out of the profit earned in 2023.

Additionally, the KNF has informed the Bank about its positive stance on the possibility to pay out the amount of PLN 1,056,637,506.76 out of the Dividend Reserve, equivalent to 50% of the profit earned in the period from1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019.
