Attachment to the resolution no. …../20 of Orange Polska S.A. Extraordinary General Meeting dated 27.08.2020
This remuneration policy for Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. (the "Remuneration Policy") supports the implementation of the Company's strategy and the protection of its long-term interests by shaping market-competitive salaries conducive to employment stability in key positions.
In this Remuneration Policy, the notion of Members of the Management Board means both the President of the Management Board and other members of the Management Board, and the notion of Members of the Supervisory Board means both the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and other members of the Supervisory Board, in both cases regardless of functions performed thereby.
In the case of Members of the Management Board, significant components of remuneration depend on the achievement of both short-term and long-term objectives of the Company. The adopted model focuses on and strengthens the involvement of Members of the Management Board in the implementation of the Company's strategy.
The market competitiveness of remuneration for Members of the Management Board and other employees is monitored using the uniform method and data set, ensuring consistency in the planning of remuneration throughout the Company.
The working conditions and salary of the Company's employees reporting to a given Member of the Management Board and the scope of tasks performed by these employees are taken into account when determining the remuneration of Members of the Management Board, as well as they are taken into account in determining the targets which the variable remuneration component depends on. Some of objectives on whose implementation the payment of the variable remuneration component depends may be identical or similar for Members of the Management Board and for employees holding key positions in the Company.
Some of the remuneration elements to which Members of the Supervisory Board employed directly by the Company (e.g. contribution in the employee pension scheme, some nonmonetary benefits) are entitled are granted on the basis of internal regulations applicable also to the Company's employees other than Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. As a result, the employees' salary and working conditions have been taken into account in the determination of the remuneration principles specified in this Remuneration Policy.
Members of the Management Board are appointed by the Supervisory Board and the term of office of each Member of the Management Board lasts three years. For the duration of their term of office, contracts of employment are concluded with Members of the Management Board employed directly by the Company. Some Memebers of the Management Board may be employed in anoter company of the Orange SA group (a parent company of Orange Polska S.A.) and posted to Orange Polska S.A. in order to perform the function of a Member of the Management Board.
Members of the Supervisory Board are appointed and dismissed by the General Meeting, and the term of Members of the Supervisory Board lasts three years, with the restriction that if the mandate of a Member of the Supervisory Board expires for reasons other than expiry of their term of office or dismissal from the position of a Member of the Supervisory Board, the remaining Members of the Supervisory Board may appoint a new member of the Supervisory Board by a twothirds majority of votes cast. The mandate of the appointed Member of the Supervisory Board expires on the date of the next General Meeting, held no earlier than 5 weeks after the appointment. The number of Members of the Supervisory Board so appointed may not exceed 3 persons.
No contracts related to their functions in the Supervisory Board are concluded with Members of the Supervisory Board.
Remuneration and other cash and non-cash benefits that may be granted to Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board consist of:
The Remuneration Policy prohibits discrimination of Members of the Management Board due to: sex, age, disability, race, religion, nationality, political beliefs, trade union membership, ethnic origin and sexual orientation.

Supervisory Board in relation to benefits offered to a given Member of the Management Board.
labour law in the posting country but in each case they are approved by the Supervisory Board after obtaining a recommendation of the Remuneration Committee.
Members of the Management Board employed by the Company have the right to the jubilee award long-term work as long as other employees of the Company are eligible to such awards in accordance with the provisions of the Collective Labour Agreement for Employees of Orange Polska S.A.
The remuneration of the Members of the Supervisory Board is determined by the General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A.
Members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to a fixed monthly remuneration regardless of the number of meetings held in a given month.
The General Meeting's resolution may make the amount of the remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board subject to the level of remuneration in the national economy or in an appropriate sector, as well as differentiate the amount of the remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board depending on functions performed by them in the Board.
Within the Supervisory Board, there are two standing committees: Remuneration Committee and Audit Committee, and moreover the Supervisory Board may appoint other Committees and define their tasks at its own discretion. Members of each Committee have knowledge and/or experience relevant to the purpose of the Committee and provide recommendations to the Supervisory Board and the Management Board of the Company. Members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to additional fixed remuneration for participating in the work of the Committees.
Members of the Supervisory Board who are Orange SA employees or of Orange SA subsidiaries do not receive remuneration for performing the function of a Member of the Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A. or its Committees.
All Members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to reimbursement of costs related to their participation in the Board's work.
Members of the Supervisory Board may be covered by protection in the case of civil liability arising from the performance of the Member of the Supervisory Board duties, including in the form of insurance protection.
Both Members of the Management Board and of the Supervisory Board may be granted benefits in the form of invitations to sports, cultural, business events, etc.
The Members of the Management Board of Orange Polska S.A. are responsible for the information included in the Remuneration Policy.
The content of the Remuneration Policy was proposed by the Management Board of Orange Polska S.A. by means of a resolution dated 20 July 2020. Then, following a discussion by the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board adopted a positive opinion on the content of the Remuneration Policy by means of the resolution dated 21 July 2020.
The Extraordinary General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A., by means of resolution no. [] dated [], adopted the Remuneration Policy for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Orange Polska S.A.
The Management Board of Orange Polska S.A. reviews the Remuneration Policy every year, taking into account the conclusions included in the annual report of the Supervisory Board on remuneration, the opinion of the expert auditor, and the resolution of the General Meeting that approved the remuneration report.
A resolution on the Remuneration Policy is adopted at least once every four years. Any significant change in the remuneration policy requires its adoption, by means of a resolution, by the General Meeting.
Adoption of a new remuneration policy as well as significant changes to the Remuneration Policy require a resolution of the Management Board of Orange Polska S.A., an opinion of the Supervisory Board preceded by a consultation within the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board, and a resolution of the General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A.
The basic mechanisms aimed at avoiding conflicts of interest arise out of the provisions of the Code of Commercial Companies and the Act on Public Procurement and Terms of Introducing Financial Instruments to Organised Trading and on Public Companies.
Conditions of employment, including the amounts of remuneration of Members of the Management Board, are determined by the Supervisory Board, and the amount of remuneration of the Members of the Supervisory Board is determined by the General Meeting. The Remuneration Policy is adopted by the General Meeting after considering a motion of the Management Board and an opinion of the Supervisory Board.
The above solution significantly limits the possibility of a conflict of interest related to the Remuneration Policy.
Notwithstanding the above, an important advisory role in determining the remuneration policy in Orange Polska is fulfilled by the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board. The Committee's main task is to give recommendations to the Supervisory Board on appointing, achieving the objectives, as well as principles and amounts of remuneration for Members of the Management Board.
The market competitiveness of remuneration of Members of the Management Board is monitored by the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board on the basis of studies of external experts carried out in order to ensure the remuneration objectivity.
