- b) reduction of the costs of increasing share capital;
- c) making the procedure for increasing share capital more flexible, as the Management Board can offer new issue shares much more quickly and at a time convenient for CIECH S.A., taking into account current capital market conditions, as opposed to the procedure for ordinary share capital increases.
-
- Therefore, after having reviewed the Management Board's opinion on the depravation of pre-emptive rights in whole or in part for existing shareholders, the Annual General Meeting adopts this resolution on authorizing the Management Board to increase the
share capital of CIECH S.A. within the authorized capital and to amend the Articles of Association of CIECH S.A.

-
- The Management Board is authorized, within the increase of the share capital within the limit of the authorized capital, also to issue subscription warrants in accordance with art. 444 § 7 of the Commercial Companies Code, with the term of exercising the subscription right expiring not later than 3 years from the day of registration in the register of entrepreneurs of the National Court Register of the amendment to the Articles of Association of CIECH S.A. providing for this authorized capital. The provisions of this resolution concerning the issue of shares within the limits of the Authorized Capital shall apply accordingly to the issue of subscription warrants

Subsequent issues of shares under the share capital increase within the limits of the Authorized Capital shall be identified by successive letters of the alphabet, beginning with the letter F.
-
- When increasing the capital within the limit of the Authorized Capital, the Management Board may issue shares in exchange for cash or in-kind contributions.
-
- The Management Board may not issue preference shares to shareholders taking up shares in connection with the increase of the share capital within the Authorized Capital nor may it grant them personal privileges referred to in art. 354 of the Commercial Companies Code.

-
- The Management Board is authorized to decide about all matters related to the increase of the share capital within the limits of the authorized capital (including related to the issue of subscription warrants).
§ 4.
-
- The Management Board presented to the Annual General Meeting an opinion justifying the deprivation, in whole or in part, of the existing shareholders of CIECH S.A. of their preemptive rights to shares issued as part of the share capital increase within the limits of the Authorized Capital or subscription warrants, subject to the pre-emptive rights to acquire new shares for shareholders representing at least 1% of the Company's share capital.
-
- Having considered the opinion of the Management Board, the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Management Board, with the authorization of the Supervisory Board, to deprive existing shareholders of CIECH S.A., in whole or in part, of their pre-emptive rights
to shares issued as part of the share capital increase within the limits of the Authorized Capital or subscription warrants in respect of any share capital increase within the limits of the Authorized Capital.

OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF CIECH S.A.
with its registered office in Warsaw
of …………………………………………….. 2021
on amending the Articles of Association
Acting pursuant to Art. 430 § 1 of the Commercial Companies Code and § 18 point 4) of the Articles of Association of CIECH S.A., it is hereby resolved as follows:
§ 1.
The Annual General Meeting of CIECH S.A. hereby amends the Articles of Association of CIECH S.A. in the manner, that:
§ 20. sec. 1-2 of Articles of Association of CIECH S.A., which reads:
"3. The members of the Supervisory Board may be at any time dismissed by the General Meeting."
shall hereafter read as follows and the new sec. 3a and 3b is added thereafter:
- "3. Subject to sec. 3a, the members of the Supervisory Board are appointed and dismissed by the General Meeting.
- 3a. A shareholder who represents more than 50% of the Company's share capital has the right to appoint and dismiss members of the Supervisory Board in the number constituting the majority of the number of persons comprising the Supervisory Board as at the date of exercising this right (where the number of the Supervisory Board members is determined on the basis of a resolution of the General Meeting determining the number of Supervisory Board members in a given term of office), by way of a written statement submitted to the Company (while in case of submitting the statement during a General Meeting, such statement can be
submitted to the chairman of that General' Meeting) (for example: in case of 5 person Supervisory Board, the right concerns appointment and dismissal of 3 Supervisory Board members; in case of 6-person Supervisory Board, the right concerns appointment and dismissal of 4 Supervisory Board members; in case of 7 person Supervisory Board, the right concerns appointment and dismissal of 4 Supervisory Board members). Such appointment or dismissal shall be effective upon submission of the relevant statement to the Management Board or Chairman of the Supervisory Board and shall not require a resolution of the General Meeting. If the mandate of a member of the Supervisory Board thus appointed expires before the end of the term of office due to his death, resignation, dismissal, loss of legal capacity to perform legal acts or other reason rendering it impossible to serve this function, the shareholder shall have the right to appoint a new member of the Supervisory Board in his place. This right expires when the shareholder ceases to be a shareholder of the Company or whose share in the Company's share capital decreases to 50% or below that value. If the shareholder referred to in this sec. 3a fails to appoint a member or members of the Supervisory Board within 1 month from the day on which, for any reason, the Supervisory Board is composed of a number that is smaller than the number resulting from the relevant resolution of the General Meeting determining the number of members of the Supervisory Board, the General Meeting may appoint such member or members. For the avoidance of doubt, the appointment by the General Meeting of such a member or members of the Supervisory Board shall not affect the shareholder's right, referred to in this sec. 3a, to subsequent dismissal of such a member or members of the Supervisory Board in accordance with this sec. 3a. For the avoidance of doubt, the shareholder referred to in this sec. 3a, can waive the performance of this right referred to in this sec. 3a, in which case the General Meeting shall appoint all members of the Supervisory Board (not affecting that shareholder's right to subsequent dismissal of such a member or members of the Supervisory Board in accordance with this sec. 3a). The waiver is made in written statement submitted to the Company (while in case of submitting the statement during a General' Meeting, such statement can be submitted to the chairman of that General
Meeting). For the avoidance of doubt, the right referred to in this sec. 3a does not limit the shareholder referred to in this sec. 3a in exercising its voting rights at the General Meeting in appointment and revocation of the remaining members of the Supervisory Board that are appointed or revoked by the General Meeting.
3b. In case of election of members of the Supervisory Board by way of group voting, each group can elect only one member of the Supervisory Board, while a shareholder that participated in one group cannot participate in election of members of the Supervisory Board in another group nor in the voting in which the remaining seats in the Supervisory Board, not filled by way of group voting, are filled."
