To perform the obligation under the Memorandum of Understanding of 30April 2019, Energa and Enea made a dispositive assignment agreement on30 September 2019, whereby Energa transferred half of its receivablesunder Loan Agreement 1 onto Enea, i.e., the rights under a part of theloan granted to the Borrower in the amount of PLN 29 million with allthe rights related thereto, particularly interest fixed as at 30September 2019.

Energa and Enea intend to convert the receivables under Loan Agreement 1to shares in the Borrower's share capital. The Annex was made to extendthe loan repayment term until 31 January 2020 in order to enable theinterested parties to fulfil corporate requirements as necessary for thecompletion of the conversion before the maturity of the receivablesunder Loan Agreement 1, particularly in order for Energa and Enea toobtain permission of their respective Supervisory Boards to converttheir respective receivables under Loan Agreement 1 into the Borrower'sshares.

Energa has not previously informed the market of the conclusion of theLoan Agreement 1 and of the transfer of a part of receivables under LoanAgreement 1 onto Enea due to the amounts of those transactions whichwere below the materiality threshold in terms of Energa's businessoperations, and also in view of Energa's existing disclosure practice asit considered those agreements not to fulfil the criterion ofsignificant agreements. Energa also bore in mind that the transactionswere implemented as part of performing the Memorandum of Understandingof 30 April 2019 of which the market had been advised.

Given the Loan Agreement and the material amount of Energa's exposure onthat account, Energa decided that the Loan Agreement 1 and the Annexbecame significant agreements and that the information of theirconclusion became of importance for the market in order to present afull picture of Energa's current financial commitment to the Project andof the further investment plans related thereto.
