§ 18
As long as the Company is an entity subject to public interest within the meaning of the Statutory Auditor Act, most of the Supervisory Board members sitting on the Audit Committee (including its chairperson) should meet the independence criteria within the meaning of the Statutory Auditor Act (or any regulations that replace the Act). At least one Supervisory Board member sitting on the Audit Committee should have the competence mentioned in Article 129 section 1 of the Statutory Auditor Act, at least one Supervisory Board member sitting on the Audit Committee should have the competence mentioned in Article 129 section 5 of the Statutory Auditor Act (or any regulations replacing that provision), or the individual members in specified scopes have the competence mentioned in this section (or any regulations replacing that provision).
At least two (2) Supervisory Board members should meet the criteria for independence from the Company and entities with significant ties to the Company in accordance with Annex II to the Recommendation or the regulations that have come into effect to replace Annex II to the Recommendation, subject to additional requirements based on the Best Practices of WSE Listed Companies if they are not in contradiction with the independence criteria referred to in §19 section 1. A candidate for an independent Supervisory Board member submits to the Company, prior to his/her appointment to the Supervisory Board, a written declaration on the satisfaction of the independence criteria. The same Supervisory Board members may satisfy the criteria set forth in §19 section 1 and section 2 of the Articles of Association.
The Supervisory Board members referred to in § 19 section 1 or § 19 section 2, are required to immediately deliver to the Management Board a written representation to the effect that they no longer meet the independence criteria stated in §19 section 1 of §19 section 2.
If: (i) the Management Board receives a written representation from a member of the Supervisory Board who had satisfied the criteria provided in § 19 section 1 or § 19 section 2 in the past that he or she no longer satisfies such criteria or receives such information from another reliable source and, (ii) if less than the majority of the Supervisory Board members sitting on the Audit Committee meet the criteria set forth in §19 section 1 or section 2 then the Management Board, immediately after receipt of such representation or such information, will convene a Shareholder Meeting to appoint the missing number of Supervisory Board members satisfying the criteria set forth in § 19 section 1 or section 2 of the Articles of Association. Until changes in the composition of the Supervisory are made by adjusting the number of members who satisfy the criteria under § 19 section 1 or section 2 of the Articles of Association to the requirements of the Articles of Association and the applicable law, the Supervisory Board operates in its existing composition.
If, as a result of voting by separate groups in accordance with Article 385 of the Commercial Company Code, the required number of Supervisory Board members meeting the criteria in § 19 section 1 is not elected, then the Management Board will promptly convene a Shareholder Meeting to bring the composition of the Supervisory Board into compliance with the requirements of § 19 section 1 and the applicable law.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is assumed that the fact that a member of the Supervisory Board no longer meets the criteria provided for in §19 section 1 of the Articles of Association or the independence characteristics provided for in §19 section 2 of the Articles of Association will not invalidate any resolutions adopted by the Supervisory Board. If a member of the Supervisory Board who meets the criteria specified in §19 section 1 ceases to meet the criteria during his or her term in office as a member of the Supervisory Board, or if an independent Supervisory Board member loses the independence characteristics mentioned in §19 section 2 of the Articles of Association, it will have no impact on the validity or expiry of his or her mandate.

Agreements with Management Board Members are signed on behalf of the Company by the Supervisory Board Chairperson or by another member of the Supervisory Board, on the basis of an authorization granted by a resolution of the Supervisory Board. The same procedure is applied for the purposes of all the actions related with the employment relationship of any member of the Management Board.
