The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. ("the Company"), inreference to regulatory filing no. 4/2024 dated 10 January 2024,announces that as a result of the identification of indications of apossible change in the recoverable amount of key Polish andinternational assets, the Company conducted impairment testing regardingthe following Cash Generating Units:

• the assets of the Robinson mine,

• the assets of the pre-operational Victoria project.

In terms of the Polish production assets (mining and metallurgicalassets) of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., the recoverable amount of theseassets was determined on the basis of an analysis of the discounted cashflows generated by these assets, and which took into account, amongothers, the current forecasts of price paths of individual commoditiesand energy carriers, as well as verified assumptions on medium- andlong-term productions plans, operating costs and capital expenditures.

The update of assumptions on operating costs, capital expenditures andthe discount rate, as well as a revision of medium-term productionplans, had a significant impact on the level of future cash flowsgenerated by the Polish production assets (mining and metallurgicalassets) of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

In terms of the international assets, the recoverable amount of theseassets was determined on the basis of an analysis of the discounted cashflows generated by individual assets, and which took into account, amongothers, the current forecasts of price paths of individual commodities,verified technical and economic assumptions on mine lives, productionvolumes, the size of the deposits, operating costs and capitalexpenditures.

The update of current forecasts of price paths, mainly the long-termprice of copper as well as discount rates, had a significant impact onthe level of future cash flows generated by the aforementionedinternational mining assets of the KGHM Group.

With respect to the separate financial statements of KGHM Polska MiedźS.A. for the financial year ended on 31 December 2023, the performedimpairment tests indicated justification for:

• the recognition of an impairment loss on the Polish production assets(mining and metallurgical assets) of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in theamount of PLN 3 771 million,

• the reversal of a part of the impairment losses recognised in prioryears on shares in the holding company Future 1 Sp. z o.o., whichdirectly holds 100% of the shares in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in theamount of PLN 741 million.

With respect to the consolidated financial statements of KGHM PolskaMiedź S.A. for the financial year ended on 31 December 2023, theperformed impairment tests indicated justification for:

• the recognition of an impairment loss on the Polish production assets(mining and metallurgical assets) of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in theamount of PLN 3 616 million,

• the recognition of an impairment loss on the assets of the Victoriaproject in the amount of USD 89 million (PLN 349 million per theexchange rate announced by the National Bank of Poland on 31 December2023),
