Article 3'

    1. The Bank may award a Risk Taker II compensation for early contract termination regardless of the severance pay awarded under the labour law, subject to Article 3' (2) ("Risk Taker's Severance Pay"). Amounts paid under the labour law in relation to the notice period are not considered Risk Takers' Severance Pay in the meaning hereof.
    1. As a component of the Variable Remuneration, Risk Takers' Severance Pay should not be awarded:

    1. Risk Takers' Severance Pay requires assessment of the performance of a Risk Taker II, in line with the principles applied to the Bonus determination, and it must not reward failure or misconduct. Determined amounts of Risk Takers' Severance Pay should reflect a Risk Taker's II performance achieved over time and assess the severity of any failure.
    1. Risk Takers' Severance Pay may be awarded in the following situations:
    2. 1/ if a Risk Taker's II employment contract is terminated due to failures of the Bank,
    3. 2/ by mutual agreement of the parties on the employee's initiative (Article 30 (1) (1) of the Labour Code),

      • a/ in the case of a material reduction of the Bank's activities in which the employee was active or where business areas are acquired by another institution without the option for the employee to stay employed in the acquiring institution,
      • b/ if the Bank and the employee agree on a settlement in case of a potential or actual labour dispute, to avoid a decision on a settlement by the courts,

Article 6

    2. 1/ the first half (50%) of the Non-deferred Part is paid in cash following the approval by the AGM of the Bank of the consolidated financial statements of mBank Group for the previous calendar year, i.e. the financial statements for the year for which the Bonus was granted, but not later than by 31 July of the year in which the AGM of the Bank was held,
    3. 2/ the second half (50%) of the Non-deferred Part is paid in the form of subscription warrants issued and executed pursuant to the rules and within the deadlines set forth in the Incentive Programme and the Incentive Programme Rules, not earlier than twelve months from the date of the AGM of the Bank which approved the consolidated financial statements of mBank Group for the previous calendar year, i.e. the financial statements for the year for which the Bonus was granted, with the proviso that the value of one subscription warrant equals the Average Market Price minus PLN 4.00.

January 2022 11/31

In particularly justified cases related to the mitigation of risk in order to maintain a sound capital base of the Bank enabling an effective response to the economic situation in Poland arising from, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Supervisory Board may adopt a resolution on the payment of the entire Non-deferred Part or a portion of the Non-deferred Part in cash, in the form of subscription warrants in accordance with the rules stipulated in Article 7 (1) (2).

  1. Each tranche of the Deferred Part is determined and paid out after the assessment carried out pursuant to Articles 10 and 11 hereof.

Article 8

A Risk Taker I who was granted the Deferred or Non-deferred Part of the Bonus pursuant to the provisions of the Risk Takers Remuneration Policy is entitled, irrespective of the Bonus granted, to the Equivalent for the Non-deferred Part or for each tranche of the Deferred Part under the following rules:

  • 1/ The Equivalent for the Non-deferred Part or for a given tranche of the Deferred Part in a given year is calculated for the calendar year preceding the year in which the Supervisory Board passed a resolution on payment of such Nondeferred Part or such tranche of the Deferred Part ("Reference Year").
  • 2/ The Equivalent is calculated according to the following formula:

E = WS x (Z / LA)

Where:

  • E: means the amount of the Equivalent in PLN;
  • WS: means the number of subscription warrants granted to a Risk Taker I pursuant to the Risk Takers Remuneration Policy forming the Non-deferred Part or a given tranche of the Deferred Part, exchanged for the Bank's shares under the Incentive Programme Rules;

January 2022 12/31

  • Z: means the amount of the Bank's profit for the Reference Year allocated by the GM for distribution among the shareholders subject to the increase and decrease referred to in Article 348 (1) of the Code of Commercial Companies and Partnerships;
  • LA: means the total number of fully-paid shares held by the shareholders entitled to the dividend for a given Reference Year.
  • 3/ The Equivalent is paid to a Risk Taker I by the Bank within 60 (sixty) days from the day on which the Risk Taker I effectively submitted a statement on the acquisition of shares in exchange for subscription warrants, whereas the Equivalent is calculated only for the subscription warrants included in the statement on the acquisition of shares pursuant to the Incentive Programme Rules.

  • 4/ For the avoidance of doubt, a Risk Taker I is not entitled to the Equivalent in the case where (i) the GM did not pass a resolution on payment of the dividend for the Reference Year, or (ii) subscription warrants entitling the Risk Taker I to the Equivalent have expired due to the failure to acquire the Bank's shares in exchange for them – proportionally to the number of the expired subscription warrants.

    1. The Bonus amount granted to a Risk Taker I for a given calendar year is calculated individually for this Risk Taker I and depends on the amount of the Bonus Pool.
    1. The Bonus Pool for a given calendar year is calculated on the basis of the total of base amounts calculated for each Risk Taker I. The base amount for a given Risk Taker I does not affect the Bonus amount granted to this Risk Taker I.
    1. The base amount of each Risk Taker I is determined under the following rules:

$$\text{multiplier} = \begin{cases} \text{"} & \text{@} & \text{EP} < \text{0} \\ 2\% \text{"} \text{EP} + 2 & \text{EP} > \text{0} \\ \text{!} & \text{12} & \text{EP} > 500 \end{cases}$$

Where

1/ "EP" means Economic Profit calculated for the period of three years as the total of:

$$\mathsf{EP} = \langle \mathsf{1}/\mathsf{Z} \rangle \,\mathsf{EP}\,\langle \mathsf{N} \rangle + \langle \mathsf{1}/\mathsf{Z} \rangle \,\mathsf{EP}\,\langle \mathsf{N}-1 \rangle + \langle \mathsf{1}/\mathsf{G} \rangle \,\mathsf{EP}\,\langle \mathsf{N}-2 \rangle$$

  • 2/ multiplier multiple of the Basic Remuneration of a given Risk Taker I, specified in the Management Contract, due to the Risk Taker I:
    • a/ as at 31 December of the calendar year for which the Bonus is granted or

January 2022 13/31

  • b/ as at the last day of the term of the Management Contract in the calendar year for which the Bonus is granted – in the case where the Management Contract expires or is terminated in the course of the calendar year.
    1. The EP level serving as the basis for calculating the Bonus Pool is approved by the Supervisory Board each year as per the calculations made by the unit responsible for controlling activities at the Bank. The Resolution of the Supervisory Board on the approval of the Economic Profit level is preceded by consultations with the President of the Management Board of the Bank concerning the Economic Profit level. The consultations cover parameters and indicators determined by the competent public administration authorities and regulatory bodies as well as one-off events, which, when combined, may lead to changes in the Economic Profit level, with the proviso that the parameters and indicators which a Risk Taker I can affect to a limited extent only should have a limited impact on calculations of the Economic Profit level.

The parameters and indicators which a Risk Takers I can affect to a limited extent include, among other things, extraordinary costs and revenue (e.g. one-off transactions).

  1. The Supervisory Board determines the Bonus amount for a given Risk Taker I within the Bonus Pool, with the proviso that the Bonus amounts granted to particular Risk Takers do not have to be identical.

The Supervisory Board is not obliged to distribute the entire Bonus Pool.

    1. The Bonus amount for a given Risk Taker I is based on the Supervisory Board's Assessment of the performance of each Risk Taker.
    1. In order to calculate the Bonus amount, the Supervisory Board carries out an analysis and Assessment of each Risk Taker I being the President of the Management Board of the Bank or a Member of the Management Board of the Bank (at the request of the President of the Management Board of the Bank), verifying the achievement of goals by this Risk Taker I; the analysis covers the period of at least the last three calendar years.

The decision on determining the Bonus amount and assessing the achievement of the goals by the Risk Taker I is made at the Supervisory Board's sole discretion. The Supervisory Board assesses whether the Risk Taker I achieved his goals at least in the last three calendar years, taking account of the business cycle of the Bank and its business risks.

The Risk Taker I submits written information to the Supervisory Board about the achievement of the goals set for the calendar year for which the bonus is granted, not later than by the end of March of the year following the year for which the Bonus is determined.

    1. If circumstances referred to in Article 10 (1) (1) (b) and (c) hereof occur at the stage of determining the Bonus amount, the Supervisory Board may decide not to grant the Bonus in whole or to reduce it.
    1. If the Bank is required by the law (owing to its legal relationship with a Risk Taker I) to deduct the Personal Income Tax advance and social insurance contributions, the Bank is obliged to fulfil this obligation. Otherwise, the Risk Taker I is obliged to make the relevant deductions.

In the case referred to in Article 9 (1) (1) (b), the Risk Taker I may be obliged, under the rules and within the time limit determined by the decision of the Supervisory Board, to return the Bonus granted and paid for a given calendar year (i.e. the Nondeferred Part and all Deferred Parts) in which the event referred to in Article 9 (1) (1) (b) occurred. The decision on the occurrence of the event may be taken by the Supervisory Board by the end of the calendar year when the last tranche of the Deferred Part of the Bonus granted for a year in which the event occurred is paid.
    1. If the Management Contract expires or is terminated due to the occurrence of any of the following events, subject to provisions of Article 10 hereof,

The proportional bonus is paid to the Risk Taker I on the terms and conditions and within the deadlines consistent with the Risk Takers Remuneration Policy.

The occurrence of the above event releases the Bank from the obligation to exchange subscription warrants issued to the Risk Taker I pursuant to the Incentive Programme.

DZO - Remuneration Policy for Employees Having a Material Impact on the Risk Profile of mBank S.A.

the Equivalent for the Non-deferred Part or for each tranche of the Deferred Part under the following rules:

  • WS: means the number of subscription warrants granted to a Risk Taker II pursuant to the Risk Takers Remuneration Policy forming the Non-deferred Part or a given tranche of the Deferred Part, exchanged for the Bank's shares under the Incentive Programme Rules;
