§ 3
Statementof grounds for the draft resolutions Nos. [...] prepared by the ManagementBoard of Agora_#160;S.A.
Management Board of Agora S.A.("Company") has presented the General Meeting ("GM") with resolutions ongranting consent to the sale to subsidiaries of organized parts of theCompany's enterprise intended for carrying out the activities describedin the resolutions.
Submission of resolutions to theGM is related to the reorganization of the Agora Capital Group ("AgoraCG", "Group") considered by the Management Board of the Company. Thisreorganization consisting of separation form the Company of particularbusiness segments operating within the Company (Gazeta.pl, GazetaWyborcza, Agora Publishing House) and supporting segments -backoffice(IT, HR, Administration, Finances).
The reorganization considered bythe Management Board of the Company shall consist of disposal by theCompany of organized parts of the enterprise (i.e. the abovementionedbusiness lines and supporting segments) for the benefit of capitalcompanies in which the Company shall be entitled, directly orindirectly, to 100% of the share capital at the time of disposal, inexchange for shares in those subsidiaries. The proposed structure forseparating the various business lines was preceded by a legal, tax andfinancial analysis from which it follows that the adopted concept allowsfor the Group to maintain its current shape (where Agora S.A. controlsall companies within the Group), with a relatively low cost of carryingout the reorganization process, and provides a broad succession oftangible and intangible assets assigned to individual businesses (thesuccession of liabilities will take place on the basis of the consentsof contractors).
The reorganization is aimed atstrategically changing the Group's business management principles,including, in particular, unifying them. Currently, two models ofbusiness management may be distinguished: (i) indirect management by theCompany's Management Board of businesses operating through subsidiaries(Outdoor Advertising, Radio), the business leaders of which are at thesame time members of management boards of a given company, and (ii)direct management by the Company's Management Board of business linesand supporting segments operating within the Company (including: IT, HR,Digital and Printed Press, Publishing House), where business leaders arenot members of the Company's Management Board responsible for theCompany's activities. Such differentiation of management models within acapital group results in different levels of responsibility,self-reliance and freedom of management of leaders of particularbusiness.
Management Board's observation ofbusiness operations under the two aforementioned management modelsindicates that the model of indirect management by the Management Boardof the Company is more optimal - it influences the growth of the senseof self-reliance, entrepreneurship, responsibility of executives for thebasic aspects related to a given business (including for strategyimplementation, performance, internal organization and legal or laborissues). The proposed change aims at unification of the managementprinciples within the Group in such a way that the managers of allbusinesses and support segments in the Group operate under the sameprinciples of full responsibility for the implementation of thestrategy, results, team and operations of their business.
The changes described above willalso result in optimization of the Company's Management Board's tasks.The transfer of duties and full operational responsibility forindividual businesses and support segments to the heads of thesebusinesses or segments will allow the Management Board to fully focusits activities on tasks related to the development and implementation ofthe Group's strategy and the development and enhancement of the Group'svalue. As part of its responsibilities, the Company's Management Boardwill determine the goals and long-term strategies of the subsidiaries,oversee their implementation, and supervise significant events andtransactions related to individual subsidiaries. The Management Boardwill also create mechanisms, rules and standards to improve cooperationamong the Group's subsidiaries, so as to obtain and maintain thegreatest possible benefits from cooperation and synergies among theGroup's entities.
The unification of the use ofresources gathered in the companies created from theback officedepartments will enable further cost and operational optimization of theGroup by introducing unified standards for all Group companies in theareas of, among others, HR, Finance, IT, etc.
In addition to the argumentspresented above in favor of the reorganization, the separation is alsobeneficial on a financial level. Separating individual businesses andsegments and transferring them to the Company's subsidiaries will makeit easier to assess their financial condition and profitability, allowfor greater transparency of settlements between individualbusinesses/segments, and for clear assignment of assets to specificbusiness lines. The reorganization may also have a positive impact onoptimizing the costs of the businesses' operations - the managementboards of the subsidiaries will be able to adjust their overhead coststo the nature of their operations. Previously, the Company's overheadcosts had to meet the needs of all businesses within the Company, whichcould result in excessive overhead costs for some businesses.
Separation of business lines intoseparate capital companies will make it easier to attract new businesspartners and investors interested in cooperation in a particular line ofbusiness, in particular by allowing differentiated capital structures tobe applied to individual businesses. This process will also make iteasier to assess the value and health of the individual businessescurrently operating within the Company.
