Draft Resolutions with statement of grounds to be passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Benefit Systems S.A. (the "Company") convened for 14 September, 11:00 am
Statement of grounds to draft resolutions to be passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting convened for 14 September 2020.
With regard to the resolution specified under Item 6 of the agenda (the "Resolution"), the Management Board of Benefit Systems S.A. (the "Company" or the "Issuer") would like to note that the gist of the Resolution is that the Company will extend loans to the employees of the Company and of its subsidiaries (with the exception of the Members of the Management Board of the Issuer) (hereinafter referred to as the "Employees") who have been vested with the G, H and I series warrants as part of the 2017-2020 Incentive Plan for the Senior and Middle Management Staff of the Capital Group of the Company (the "Incentive Plan") and who, therefore, are eligible to take up series E shares in the Company that will be issued on the basis of resolution No. 21/15.06.2016 of the Ordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2016 (the "Shares"). The loans are aimed at facilitating the Employees to take up shares with a view to replenishing their own funds.
The adoption of the Resolution by the General Meeting will allow for the settlement of a substantial part of the Incentive Plan this year thus securing additional funds for the Company under the circumstances of increased market uncertainty attributable to the COVID-19 pandemics.
The Resolution falls within the mechanism of the Incentive Plan, which, according to the Management Board of the Issuer, had a significant positive impact on the financial results generated by the Company and its Capital Group in the past years and provides incentives for its key executive staff members and helps building their affiliation to the Company thus contributing to the creation of a long-term growth in the Issuer's value.
The risk carried by the Company will be addressed by way of appropriate collaterals for the loans (including in particular, promissory notes or statements to be made pursuant to Article 777 of the Code of Civil Procedure). The loans will be granted for short terms, i.e. for the period starting with respective Employee's taking up the Shares and ending when they can be sold, as promptly as possible, after they are registered with the National Depository of Securities (KDPW) and admitted to trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW), however, the terms of the loans may not be longer than three months. The loans will be granted in amounts covering no more than 80% of the value of the Shares to be taken up by individual Employees and bear interest equal to WIBOR1M plus margin.
