Assessment of Alior Bank's adherence to the 2024 Corporate Governance Principles for Supervised Institutions issued by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority on 22 July 2014.

According to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the Principles of Corporate Governance should be adopted by supervised institutions, thereby becoming an essential policy paper as part of their strategic corporate policy and influencing the formulation of appropriate principles of conduct for supervised institutions.

A supervised institution should endeavour to implement the principles laid down in the Corporate Governance Principles to the greatest practicable extent while having due regard to the principle of proportionality arising from the size and nature of its activities as well as from the specific characteristics of the institution.

The Polish Financial Supervision Authority also reviews the Bank's adherence to the Corporate Governance Principles on an annual basis as part of the BION process.

As far as Alior Bank S.A. is concerned, the Corporate Governance Principles are implemented by virtue of Resolution No. 89/2014 of the Supervisory Board of the Bank dated 29 December 2014 and Resolution No. 25/2015 of the Annual General Meeting of the Bank dated 25 May 2015.

As required by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the Bank publishes on its website either a notice on the implementation of the Corporate Governance Principles or a notice of nonimplementation of certain principles.

With a view to fulfilling the requirements set out in § 27 of the Corporate Governance Principles for Supervised Institutions:

"A supervisory body shall perform regular assessment of the application of the principles introduced herein, and the result of the assessment shall be made available on the supervised institution's website and submitted to the remaining bodies of the supervised institution".

an investigation was conducted into Alior Bank S.A.'s adherence in 2024 to the Corporate Governance Principles for Supervised Institutions issued by the Financial Supervision Authority on 22 July 2014 in reliance on information and documents provided by the entities in charge of implementing the individual Principles. The Supervisory Board assessed the Bank's adherence in 2024 to the Corporate Governance Principles for Supervised Institutions, as articulated in Resolution No. 30/2025 of 03 March 2025.

The analysis of the adherence to the Principles in 2024, performed by relying on the information provided by the entities in charge of the implementation of the individual Principles and the verification of the Principles selected by the Compliance Department, concluded that in 2024:

    1. The Bank adhered to 157 principles
    1. The Bank did not adhere to 1 principle (paragraph 8.4)
    1. The Bank is not covered by 9 principles (paragraphs 49.4, 52.2 and 53-37)

and the involved costs and risks, as well as little experience
of the market in this regard, the Bank has not currently

communication capability whereby shareholders would be
able to speak at a General Meeting from a location other
than the place of deliberations.

there is no internal audit unit or
compliance unit, the entitlements
referred to in items1-3 shall be

for performance of
those functions.

separated within the Bank.

that area has been appointed,

item 1 shall be submitted by the
people responsible for fulfilling
those functions.
