Information for shareholders

The Management Board informs that only the following persons have the right to take part in the General Meeting, pursuant to art. 406¹, art. 406² and art. 406³ of the Code of Commercial Companies:

(i) persons who are the Bank's shareholders (i.e. persons authorized under registered or bearer shares) sixteen days before the date of the General Meeting, i.e. on 11 March 2024 (day of registration of participation in the General Meeting, hereinafter: "Registration Day") provided that they present to the undertaking keeping their securities account or holder of the aggregate account, on which their shares are recorded (hereinafter: "Issuer"), a demand to issue a registered certificate of right to take part in the General Meeting, in the period from the day of announcement of convening the General Meeting, i.e. 29 February 2024, until the first weekday after Registration Day, i.e. 12 March 2024 (hereinafter: "Demand to Issue a Certificate"),

(ii) pledgees and usufructuaries, who have voting rights, if setting-up in their favour of a limited property right is registered on the securities account on Registration Day, and if they presented to the Issuer the Demand to Issue a Certificate, in the period specified in point (i) above.

At the same time, in the context of the above, the Management Board notes that, from 1 March 2021, due the coming into force of regulations on obligatory dematerialization of shares of joint stock companies, the Code of Commercial Companies shall be changed so that i.a. provisions shall be revoked, which concern keeping by joint stock companies of a shares register (in which i.a. information was entered regarding persons of shareholders authorised under registered shares as well as share pledgees and usufructuaries). This means that from the 1st of March 2021 there is no possibility to take part in the General Meeting on the basis of an entry in the shares register, because the amendment of the law resulted in cessation of keeping the shares register (the Bank ceased to keep the shares register from end of the day of 28 February 2021).

Thus, shareholders who in previous years did not perform any activities in order to participate in the General Meeting due to an entry in the share register, from 1 March 2021 are obliged to perform the activities referred to in point (i) above.

The Management Board also points out that shareholders wishing to participate in the General Meeting and holding registered shares of the Bank, which remain registered in the register of the sponsor of the issue kept by the Brokerage Office of Bank Millennium S.A., should submit, within the period indicated in point (i) above, a Request to issue a Certificate to the Brokerage Office of Bank Millennium S.A., Marszałkowska 136, 00-004 Warsaw, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. In order to obtain detailed information on this matter, the shareholder may contact the Brokerage Office of Bank Millennium S.A. by phone (between 10:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.) at 801 601 601 or by e-mail: [email protected]

Upon demand of the holder of rights under the Bank's shares, pledgee or usufructuary in the wording of the registered certificate of right to take part in the General Meeting, part or all of the Bank's shares, registered on the securities account, should be identified.

Based on received Demands to Issue a Certificate and issued registered certificates of right to participate in the General Meeting, the Issuer shall furnish Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A., with lists being the basis for preparation by Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A. of a list of persons authorised to take part in the General Meeting. The list received from Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych S.A. shall be the basis for preparation by the Bank's Management Board of a list of shareholders authorised from shares as well as of pledgees and usufructuaries, who have voting rights, eligible for participation in the General Meeting.

The list of shareholders entitled to participate in the General Meeting will be prepared by the Management Board and displayed at the Bank's registered office (i.e. Stanisława Żaryna 2A Street, 02-593 Warsaw) from 09:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during each of the three weekdays before the day of the General Meeting (i.e. between 22 March 2024 to 26 March 2024).

A shareholder of the Bank may request that the list of shareholders be sent to him free of charge to the electronic delivery address referred to in Article 407 § 1¹ of the CCC or by e-mail, stating the address to which the list should be sent. A shareholder may make the aforementioned request by email to the following address: [email protected]
