Reasonsfor delaying the publication of confidential information:

Inthe Management Board's opinion, the delay in providing the aboveinformation met the conditions specified in the MAR Regulation at thetime the decision on the delay was made.

TheManagement Board indicates that the conclusion of an agreement onsupervision over the course of the proceedings for approval of thearrangement of the subsidiary pursuant to the Act of 15 May 2015 -Restructuring Law was not tantamount to opening the restructuringproceedings. Financial and legal analyses were ongoing and thepossibility remained real that the subsidiary would resign fromconducting the restructuring. Therefore, premature disclosure of delayedconfidential information at the stage of its classification would bemisleading and would be detrimental to the Company. The Issuer and thesubsidiary decided to announce the arrangement date due to the initiatedrestructuring process of the Issuer and due to the introduction of atwo-pillar strategy in the group, consisting in focusing the activity ontwo operating lines. In the remaining scope, the Issuer's restructuringplan assumes reducing to a minimum the operating activity of thecorporate finance division and limiting it to the collection of ownreceivables. As part of this strategy, it is necessary to restructurethe subsidiary. As regards the appointment of a temporary courtsupervisor for the subsidiary, the Issuer indicates that it hasrefrained from publishing this information due to ongoing legal analysesto determine the impact of the established supervision on the initiatedand planned restructuring process of the subsidiary.

Disclosureof this confidential information is due to the impossibility of furtherensuring its confidentiality due to the announcement of the arrangementdate of the subsidiary.
