At the same time, the Management Board informs that the registration ofthe aforementioned amendments to the to the By-laws of the Bank was madedue to an error of the Registry Court.
The Bank submitted an application for the registration of the amendmentsto the By-laws in view of provision of Article 430 §2 of the Act datedSeptember 15 2000 Code of Commercial Companies, according to which: _quot;Themanagement board shall report an amendment to the by-laws to theregistry court. An application for registration of the amendment to theby-laws shall be filed within three months of the adoption of a relevantresolution by the general meeting, subject to the provisions of Article431 § 4 and Article 455 § 5._quot;
Simultaneously with the application for registration of amendments tothe By-laws of the Bank, a motion was also filed to suspend theproceedings in this respect. The above resulted from the fact thatpursuant to Art. 34 section 2 of the Banking Law Act dated August 291997, amendments to the by-laws of a bank require permission of thePolish Financial Supervision Authority. A relevant application forpermission to amend the By-laws was submitted to the Polish FinancialSupervision Authority. However, the proceedings concerning the issuanceof the permission for the amendments had not been completed by the timethe application for the registration of the amendments was filed withthe Registry Court.
The Registry Court overlooked the Bank's request to suspend theproceedings and, erroneously, registered the aforementioned amendmentsto the By-laws of the Bank.
Considering that the ruling of the Registry Court dated 30 May 2022concerning registration of the amendments to the By-laws was issuedwithout the permission of the Polish Financial Supervision Authorityrequired under Article 34 Section 2 of the Banking Law Act dated 29August 1997, the Bank will file a complaint against the said ruling.
In view of the foregoing, a consolidated text of the By-laws of the Bankincorporating amendments registered by the Registry Court on May 30 2022has not been attached to this current report.
