Justification of resolutions:
The Resolutions mentioned in points 6-16 of the agenda of the General Meeting are standard matters to be discussed at the Ordinary General Meeting and their content does not require any justification.
The amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company mentioned in point 17 of the agenda are required in order to: (i) align the provisions of the Articles of Association to the applicable provisions of law; (ii) remove the provisions that do not apply to a public company any longer; (iii) remove the provisions concerning the contingent increase of the share capital under which shares have already been released and transferred to the share capital that has been paid out in full; and (iv) as a consequence of editorial revisions. The above mentioned changes, with the exception of changes to the Articles of Association regarding the reduction of the share capital, are a consequence of the decision of the District Court for the Capital City Of Warsaw in Warsaw dismissing the Company's application for registration of amendments to the Articles of Association resulting from resolutions No. 22/10.06.2020 and 23/10.06.2020 of the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company of 10 June 2020, about which the Company informed in current report No. 17/2021 of 19 May 2021. The Management Board of the Company does not submit a motion to adopt a resolution on the reduction of the share capital in connection with the redemption of treasury shares acquired by the Company due to the draft resolution mentioned in point 18 of the agenda.
The resolutions mentioned in point 18 of the agenda, need to be put to vote in connection with redemption of 63,242 of the Company's own shares (the Treasury Shares) that have been acquired by the Company on the basis of consent granted by the shareholders in resolution No. 23/25.06.2019 of the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company of 25 June 2019, concerning the granting of an authorization to the Management Board to acquire, in the name and on behalf of the Company, its own shares, and determination of the rules of acquisition by the Company of its own shares. The change of the purpose of the allocation will enable strengthening the Company's capital position after many months of limiting the activity of the fitness industry in Poland and on foreign markets (also in the context of planned development and investment activities), as well as in the face of the persistent risks related to the COVID-19 epidemic and the resulting uncertainty in the economic and business environment of the Company in the following months.
