(i) a maximum pecuniary amount allocated to the share buyback is PLN 1,600,000,000 (in words: one billion six hundred million Polish zloty);
(ii) the minimum price per share will not be lower than the share nominal value, i.e. PLN 0.01 (in words: one grosz);

11
Justification of the resolution No. 21:
The purpose of the proposed resolution is mainly to authorise the Board to implement share buy-back programme which is one of the elements of the Group Capital Allocation Policy. Based on the medium to long term plans and the current market circumstances, the Board assessed that the Company has sufficient funds for distribution and that the most preferred form of distribution will be repurchase of the Company's own shares. The Share Buyback can be conducted, at the choice of the Board, through the stock exchange (open market transactions) and/or by means of a public invitation addressed to all shareholders to submit a sale offer, or by combination of the two. The shares to be acquired by the Company under such buy-back programme pursuant to the authorisation to be granted by the shareholders are intended to be cancelled to reduce the share capital of the Company.
The total number of shares to be purchased under shareholders' authorisation will depend on the share purchase price, in any case, however, it may not exceed 84,210,526 shares, representing 8.0% of the existing Company's issued share capital (or 8.3% of the share capital following the cancellation of 38,942,976 shares to be resolved upon at the EGM scheduled for 25 June 2026).

Justification of the resolution No. 22:

Following the 2025 bond debut of Allegro.eu S.A. as Issuer on the Polish bond market and new debt financing by Allegro sp. z o.o. the existing financing structure is no longer valid. The merger of Allegro Treasury into Allegro.eu streamlines the corporate structure for enhanced operational efficiency and cost savings.
The Board unanimously expresses its positive opinion on the resolution No. 22 and recommends its adoption in the proposed wording.

The meeting resolves to reduce the Company's share capital by an amount of three hundred eighty-nine thousand, four hundred twenty-nine Polish Zloty and seventy-six Polish grosz (PLN 389,429.76) in order to bring it from its current amount of ten million, five hundred and sixty-nine thousand forty-eight Polish Zloty and fifty-three Polish grosz (PLN 10,569,048.53) to ten million, one hundred seventy-nine thousand, six hundred eighteen Polish Zloty and seventy-seven Polish grosz (PLN 10,179,618.77) by
cancellation of thirty-eight million, nine hundred forty-two thousand, nine hundred seventy-six (38,942,976) shares, each having a nominal value of one Polish grosz (PLN 0.01).
Justification of the resolution No. 1
On 26 June 2025, the Annual General Meeting of the Company authorized the Board to purchase shares in the Company for cancellation (the "Buyback Authorization").
Pursuant to the Buyback Authorization, on 26 June 2025, the Company published an "Invitation to Submit Share Sell Offers" (the "Invitation") regarding the acquisition of its own shares. The purpose of the purchase was explicitly stated as their redemption and subsequent cancellation.
The buyback process was concluded on 4 August 2025. As disclosed in the Current Report No. 22/2025, the Company acquired a total of 38,942,976 shares (the "Buyback Shares") at a final purchase price of PLN 35.95 per share. The settlement of the transaction took place on 5 August 2025.
Since the settlement date, the Buyback Shares have been held by the Company. In accordance with the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the "Law"), the voting rights and dividend rights attached to these shares have been suspended.
The Board proposes to the Extraordinary General Meeting to cancel all 38,942,976 Buyback Shares currently held by the Company and to consequently reduce the issued share capital of the Company.
The Buyback Shares to be cancelled are fully paid-up ordinary shares with a nominal value of PLN 0.01 each.
The proposed cancellation is the final step of the buyback operation initiated in 2025. The economic rationale for this operation remains consistent with the reasons presented to the shareholders during the buyback process:
- The Company holds excess cash reserves. Returning this capital to shareholders through a buyback and subsequent cancellation allows for a more efficient balance sheet structure.
- The cancellation of shares reduces the total number of shares outstanding. This typically results in an increase in Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the remaining shareholders, provided earnings remain constant.
The Board confirms that the Buyback Shares are not required for any other purpose (e.g., employee incentive programs), as the Company holds a separate pool of shares for such obligations.
The reduction of share capital will be effected as follows:
- Reduction of Share Capital: The share capital of the Company will be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate nominal value of the Buyback Shares, i.e. 38,942,976 shares × PLN 0.01 = PLN 389,429.76.
- Allocation of the Buyback Price: The difference between the nominal value of the Buyback Shares (PLN 0.01) and the price paid by the Company for their acquisition (PLN 35.95) will be charged against the distributable reserves of the Company (specifically the Share Premium account).
- total consideration paid: PLN 1,399,999,987.20 (excluding transaction costs).
- accounting impact: the net assets of the Company will not change as a result of the cancellation itself, as the cash outflow occurred previously on the settlement date (5 August 2025). The operation is purely an accounting adjustment within the equity section of the balance sheet.
The Board has assessed the impact of the proposed cancellation on the Company's creditors and confirms the following: (i) the cancellation of the Buyback Shares does not involve any repayment of contribution to shareholders or distribution of assets at this stage. The cash consideration was paid to the selling shareholders in August 2025; (ii) the Company remains fully solvent. The cancellation will merely align the legal share capital with the economic reality (that the shares have been repurchased). The Company's ability to meet its liabilities towards third-party creditors remains unaffected.

In light of the above, the Board considers the cancellation of the Buyback Shares and the subsequent reduction of share capital to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Accordingly, the Board recommends that the shareholders vote in favor of the resolutions proposing the cancellation of the Buyback Shares and the amendment of the Company's Articles of Association to reflect the new amount of share capital.
The Board unanimously expresses its positive opinion on the resolution No.1 and recommends its adoption in the proposed wording.
- Decision to amend article 5.1. of the articles of association of the Company to reflect the share capital reduction, so that it shall now read as follows:
"The issued share capital of the Company is set at ten million, one hundred seventy-nine thousand, six hundred eighteen Polish Zloty and seventy-seven Polish grosz (PLN 10,179,618.77) divided into one billion, seventeen million, nine hundred sixty-one thousand, eight hundred seventy-seven (1,017,961,877) ordinary shares with a nominal value of one Polish grosz (PLN 0.01) each"
Proposed resolution No. 2

Justification of the resolution No. 2
Rationale for this resolution No. 2 is discussed in detail along with justification of the resolution no. 1 (see above).
The Board unanimously expresses its positive opinion on the resolution No. 2 and recommends its adoption in the proposed wording.
- Decision to amend article 9.4 of the articles of association of the Company by clarifying the description of the executives who may sit on the board, so that it shall now read as follows:
"The Board of Directors shall be composed of a number of Directors which may be executive, if any, (which may, but is not required to, include the chief executive officer ("CEO") and chief financial officer of the Group), non-executive, if any, and/or non-executive independent Directors according to its share capital structure and there shall be at least two (2) non-executive independent Directors. Exceptions may be made in the case of a vacancy caused by death, retirement, resignation, dismissal, removal or otherwise until the appointment of the successor of the relevant terminating Independent Director. For the purpose of the present Articles, "Independent Directors" shall mean Directors appointed because of their personal and professional situation, whose role may not be affected by their relationship with the Company, Principal Shareholders or other Directors and who meet the criteria set forth in the WSE Code of Best Practice."
Proposed resolution No. 3
The meeting resolves to amend article 9.4. of the articles of association of the Company by clarifying the description of the executives who may sit on the board so that it shall now read as follows:
"The Board of Directors shall be composed of a number of Directors which may be executive, if any, (which may, but is not required to, include the chief executive officer ("CEO") and chief

financial officer of the Group), non-executive, if any, and/or non-executive independent Directors according to its share capital structure and there shall be at least two (2) non-executive independent Directors.

Justification of the resolution No. 3
To provide greater clarity on the interpretation of article 9.4 of the articles of association, to align the articles with standard market practice and to ensure the efficient functioning of the Board in the context of any future succession planning, the proposed amendment to article 9.4 is intended to introduce additional flexibility regarding the executives who may serve on the Board and to ensure that if at the time the Board does not include e.g. the CEO and/or chief financial officer for any reason (e.g. resignation) the Board is not deprived of any mandatory members and retains its full corporate powers to take decisions.
The Board unanimously expresses its positive opinion on the resolution No. 3 and recommends its adoption in the proposed wording.
