Introduction

This Remuneration Report outlines the structure and the level of remuneration along with similar benefits received by and due to the Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Ciech S.A. (the "Company"). This Remuneration Report covers two financial years, i.e. 2020 and 2021, and has been established in accordance with the Act of 29 July 2005 on Public Offering and Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organized Trading and Public Companies1 (the "Act"). In line with the Act, the General Meeting of Ciech S.A. adopted the Remuneration Policy for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Ciech S.A. (the "Remuneration Policy") defining the principles and a detailed framework for remunerating the Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. The Remuneration Policy came into force as of 1 May 2020. The current version thereof can be found on the Ciech S.A. Group's website, in the "Investor Relations" tab.

1. Remuneration of the Management Board

1.1 Remuneration Policy for Members of the Management Board

Pursuant to the Remuneration Policy in force at the Company, Members of the Management Board are entitled to:

  • o fixed monthly remuneration specified under the employment contract for each of the Members of the Management Board,
  • o variable remuneration encompassing annual bonus, discretionary bonus (awards) and awards granted under the long-term incentive plan (see below),
  • o other non-wage benefits including the right to use the company vehicle for private purposes, reimbursement of fuel expenses, the right to use the selected health benefits package, and the right to use sports cards and life insurance.

Non-wage benefits do not constitute a significant part of the total remuneration of Management Board Members.

The fixed monthly remuneration differs depending on the functions performed within the Management Board as well as the scope of responsibilities and competencies of the given Board Member. The amount of the monthly fixed remuneration of Members of the Management Board is determined by the Supervisory Board, based on a recommendation of the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board. The Remuneration Committee's recommendations are established by reference to market rates of remuneration for management board members, with special regard to entities with a similar business

1 Journal of Laws of 2005 No 184, item 1539, consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2020, item 2080

profile, as well as competences and experience of individual Board Members.

The amount of the annual bonus depends on:

  • o the amount of the annual remuneration of a Member of the Management Board,
  • o the level of achievement of management objectives set in consultation with the Supervisory Board and defined in the employment contract binding the Board Member,
  • o individual assessment of performance of a Member of the Management Board carried out annually by the Supervisory Board.

The level of achievement of management objectives is determined by the Supervisory Board in relation to the level of implementation of the annual Financial Plan of Ciech S.A.

In the event the Board Member's employment contract is terminated by the Company with notice, the Board Member is entitled to a compensation for refraining from competitive activity against the Company and companies from the Group in the period the noncompete clause is in effect.

On 26 February 2019, the Supervisory Board of Ciech S.A. adopted a resolution, by which it approved a three-year Long-Term Incentive Plan of Ciech S.A. (the "Incentive Plan" or "LTIP") for the period 2019- 2021, intended for the key managerial staff of the Ciech S.A. Group (the "Group" or "Ciech Group").

Pursuant to the resolution, the key managerial staff, including Members of the Management Board, may be enrolled in the Incentive Plan, based on a decision issued by the Supervisory Board separately for each Member of the Management Board.

The award granted to a given Board Member under the Incentive Plan depends on the value earned (the "Earned Value") by the Ciech Group for its shareholders in the reference period, starting on 1 January 2019 and ending on 31 December 2021. The Earned Value is calculated as the difference in the value of the Ciech Group (the "Value of the Ciech Group") achieved at the end of the settlement period, compared to such value at the end of the base year (i.e. 2018).

The Value of the Ciech Group is measured by TSR (Total Shareholder Return), taking into account:

  • o the adjusted EBITDA2 of the Ciech Group;
  • o multiplier adopted for the adjusted EBITDA of the Ciech Group;
  • o consolidated net debt of the Ciech Group;
  • o value of dividends paid in 2018 for initial value and in the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021 for TSR closing value;
  • o cash inflows or outflows arising from the issue or cancellation of shares in the Company.

The actual Value of the Ciech Group is calculated at the end of the reference period adopted for the Incentive Plan, on the basis of financial data from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Ciech Group. If the Earned Value reaches the level of at least 11% of the base year (i.e. 2018), a bonus pool in the amount of 12% of the Earned Value is established. The bonus pool will be paid out in equal installments in three consecutive years after the end of the reference

period. The vesting dates for each installment due shall

be:

  • o 30 June 2022,
  • o 30 June 2023,
  • o 30 June 2024,

The criterion for the granting of awards under the Incentive Plan is that the Ciech Group reports in the given settlement period a specified increase in value, compared to the base year.

A member of the Management Board may be required by the Supervisory Board to return to the Company all or part of the amount paid in connection with participation in the Incentive Plan in cases provided for by the Regulations of the Long-Term Incentive Plan, namely in situations where:

  • o the Company, for whatever reason, misrepresented the Group's financial performance;
  • o an error was made in relation to the amount awarded from the bonus pool to a Member of the Management Board;
  • o there has been negligence in the risk management in the Company or a member of the Group, including, without limitation, the liquidation of the Company, the Group, or any member thereof, or
  • o a Member of the Management Board awarded under the LTIP committed an act (or acts) of fraud or gross negligence or otherwise

damaged the reputation of the Company or any member of the Ciech Group.

The fixed monthly remuneration of the Members of the Management Board is subject to annual adjustments for the index of real increase in the average remuneration compared to the previous year, announced by the President of the Central Statistical Office.

The Members of the Management Board are covered by the Employee Capital Plan (the "ECP") according to the principles set out in the Act on Employee Capital Plans of 4 October 2018 (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 2215) (the "ECP Act"). A Member of the Management Board has the right to opt out of the ECP on the terms set out in the ECP Act.

In the period covered by this Report, the Members of the Management Board did not receive any:

  • o remuneration in form of financial instruments,
  • o benefits under retirement or disability pension schemes.

Pursuant to the Remuneration Policy in force, close relatives and partners of Members of the Management Board are not entitled to any monetary or nonmonetary benefits within the meaning of Article 90g(5) of the Act on Public Offering.

The composition of the Management Board in the period covered by this Report is presented in the table below.

1.2 Explanation of how the total remuneration complies with the adopted Remuneration Policy, including its contribution to achieving long-term results by Ciech S.A.

The remuneration of Members of the Management Board and of the Supervisory Board is consistent with the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company. In the period covered by this Report no derogation thereto was made.

The purpose of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure long-term growth of the Ciech Group through securing the stakeholders', owners', and employees' interests, inter alia, by adequately remunerating employees for the work performed and devising the remuneration system in such a way that it motivates them to effectively engage in the achievement of goals set forth under the long-term development strategy of the Ciech Group.

Implementation of the development strategy, security of the Ciech Group's long-term interests, and financial stability are to be favored, in particular, by the design and structure of the remuneration scheme for Members of the Management Board and Members of the Supervisory Board, which take into account the current financial situation of the Ciech Group, while properly reflecting the scope of duties and responsibilities assumed by the Members.

The remuneration scheme for Members of the Management Board covers fixed and variable remuneration. The fixed component of remuneration of Members of the Management Board is determined by the Supervisory Board, taking into account the applicable market practice, i.e. by reference to market rates of remuneration for management board members, with special regard to entities with a similar business profile and scope of activities. In turn, the variable component of remuneration, encompassing annual bonuses and awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan of the Ciech Group, depends on the economic situation and financial results of the Group, along with the annual

appraisal of the given Board Member's performance carried out by the Supervisory Board. The variable remuneration component takes into account both the Company's short-term and long-term operational perspective. The amount of the annual bonus cannot exceed 125% of the annual fixed remuneration, which reduces willingness to undertake projects that may be particularly profitable in the short term but involve potentially excessively high risks in the long run. Under the adopted framework for granting bonuses, individuals taking management decisions do not draw supplementary benefits from it. Consequently, the focus of the Members of the Management Board goes beyond short-term financial results of the Ciech Group. The awards granted under the Incentive Plan relate to the achievement of multiannual goals and their handout is deferred in time to strengthen the link between the Board Members' individual goals and implementation of long-term strategic goals (including financial ones) pursued by the Company and the Ciech Group.

The remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board is composed of fixed remuneration, which ensures independent control over the activities and economic situation of the Group by making the remuneration of the Supervisory Board Members independent of the Group's performance. Importantly, proper control and internal supervision fortify the Group's stable growth and implementation of its long-term business strategy.

Moreover, the adopted remuneration structure supports proper and effective risk management at the Company and contributes to the execution of the long-term business strategy, pursuing long-term interests and improved stability of the Group, taking into account shareholders' interests.

1.3 Information on how the criteria related to the Company's results are applied

The amount of the annual bonus granted under the Remuneration Policy to each Management Board Member for a given calendar year is determined by the Supervisory Board, taking into account the amount of the annual remuneration of the Member, the level of completion of the management goals set forth under the Member's employment contract, and the annual assessment of the Member's performance. The amount of the annual bonus, to which every Member of the Management Board is entitled, remains dependent on the financial results achieved by the Ciech Group, which, in turn, rely on the following ratios and relations between them:

o EBITDA (A) – adjusted EBITDA relating to continuing operations of the Ciech Group determined in an audited financial statement

  • of the Ciech Group for a given financial year, for which an unqualified opinion has been issued, however, excluding the provision for future awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan;
  • o EBITDA (AP) adjusted EBITDA relating to continuing operations of the Ciech Group, set in the Annual Financial Plan of the Ciech Group for a given financial year, approved by the Supervisory Board, excluding the provision for future awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan.

As at 31 December 2021, the amount of the annual bonus is calculated in the following manner:3

Annual bonus = G + U, where:

G = 75% x MP

U = BB x MP

MP = W x R

BB – individual percentage ratio determined annually by the Supervisory Board of Ciech S.A. for each Member of the Management Board within 30 days from the date of approval by the Annual General Meeting of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Ciech Group, subject to unqualified opinion, which, however, cannot exceed 25%.

W – the product of the gross remuneration of the Management Board Member, specified in the employment contract, and the multiplication factor of 12.

R – the degree of implementation calculated in line with the following:

  • o if EBITDA (A) is less than 90% of EBITDA (AP) the degree of implementation is 0%;
  • o if EBITDA (A) is between 90% and 120% of EBITDA (AP) - the degree of implementation is at the level between 50% and 125%;
  • o if EBITDA (A) is more than 120% of EBITDA (AP) – the degree of implementation is 125%.

  • o fixed monthly remuneration due for the entire period of office (the term of office of a Member of the Supervisory Board is three years),
  • o supplementary fixed monthly gross remuneration for being a member of the Audit Committee. Members of the Supervisory Board are not entitled to any supplementary remuneration for taking part in the Remuneration Committee.
