Pursuant to Article 430 § 5 of the Commercial Companies Code, the Supervisory Board of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna is authorized to determine the consolidated text of the amended Articles of Association of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna, taking into account the authorization of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority referred to in § 3.

§ 3.

The resolution enters into force as of the date of its adoption, however, the amendment to the Articles of Association of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna adopted under this Resolution requires entry in the Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register in accordance with Article 430 § 1 of the Commercial Companies Code, upon obtaining the consent of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to do so.

Justification of the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of the Bank on amending the Articles of Association of the Bank.

The amendments referred to in § 1 points 1) - 4), 6) and 7) of the draft resolution (deletion in § 6 par. 1 of points 15, 21 and 22, and amendment of points 32) and 36) result from the need to adjust the provisions of the Bank's Articles of Association to the amendments to the Banking Law of August 29, 1997 ("Banking Law"), which occurred in connection with the entry into force of the Act of August 16, 2023 on amending certain acts in connection with ensuring the development of the financial market and the protection of investors in this market ("Amending Act"), amending, among others, the Banking Law and the Act of July 29, 2005 on trading in financial instruments ("Trading Act").

In the light of the amended provisions of the Banking Law, forward financial operations, previously indicated in Article 5 of the Banking Law, have ceased to be banking activities, and therefore it is proposed to delete point 15) in § 6 par. 1.

The following activities that banks could perform were removed from Article 6 of the Banking Law:

  • acquisition or purchase of shares and rights attached to shares, shares of another legal entity and participation units in investment funds;

  • incurring liabilities related to the issuance of securities, and

  • trading in securities.

Therefore, it is proposed to delete points 20), 21) and 22) in § 6 par. 1, which reflected the above activities in the Bank's Articles of Association.

Storage and registration of financial instruments are activities carried out by the Bank as part of its brokerage business (§ 6 par. 1 point 32 of the Articles of Association) or custody business (§ 6 par. 1 point 16 of the Articles of Association), therefore, it is proposed to remove point 28) in § 6 par. 1 as constituting an unnecessary separation of an activity carried out under other provisions of the Bank's Articles of Association.

The new wording of point 32) in § 6 par. 1 brings the Bank's Articles of Association into compliance with the new requirement of the Banking Law, according to which the Bank's Articles of Association must specify in detail the object of the bank's activities and their scope, including the indication of the activities referred to in Article 69 par. 2 of the Trading Act, which the bank performs under the terms of Article 111 or Article 69 par. 4 of that Act (regardless of the rules for their performance). Thus, the proposed amendment is to specify in detail the activities indicated in the two aforementioned provisions that the Bank performs under the terms of Article 111 of the Trading Act, i.e. as part of the activities of the Brokerage House, and for which it was already authorized to perform prior to the amendment of the provisions introduced by the Amending Act.

Deletion of the provision indicating the provision of trust services by the Bank (amendment to § 6 par. 1 point 36) ensures compliance with the facts and satisfies the requirement of Article 34 par. 4 of the Banking Law introduced by the Amending Act. The Bank does not provide trust services.

The addition of a new paragraph 3 in § 6 is intended to confirm in the Bank's Articles of Association the Bank's authority to take up or acquire shares and rights attached to shares and stocks of another legal entity, without connection with the Bank's business activities, which is permitted under the provisions of the Commercial Companies Code. Not being an object of banking activity, this activity should not be indicated in the object of activity included so far in § 6 par. 1 point 20) of the Bank's Articles of Association.

The amendment to § 27 par. 5 reflects, in a manner expected by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the requirement under Articles 77 and 78 of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 26, 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms ("CRR") to obtain the consent of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority to carry out the acquisition of the Bank's own shares for redemption.

Justification of the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of the Bank on amending the Articles of Association of the Bank.

The amendment referred to in § 1 point 1) of the draft resolution is related to the introduction of a new Article 27a to the Act on Bonds of January 15, 2015 ("Act on Bonds"). This provision conditions the eligibility of bonds issued for the bank's own funds on the entry in the Articles of Association. In order to allow the Bank to exercise this right, it is proposed to add a new par. 4 in § 6.

The amendment referred to in § 1 point 2) of the draft resolution is aimed at ensuring that the Bank's Articles of Association fully comply with the provisions of the Act on Bonds. Pursuant to Article 19 par. 1 of that Act, the issuance of convertible bonds is permissible if provided for in the Articles of Association. Although § 13 point 10 of the Bank's Articles of Association provides that the issuance of convertible bonds is a competence of the General Meeting, this does not mean that the Bank's Articles of Association provide for such permissibility. The proposed amendment directly satisfies the requirement of the above provision of the Act on Bonds.
