ATTACHMENT

to resolution no. 5 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company operating under the business name of: ENEA Spółka Akcyjna with its registered office in Poznań of 8 April 2022 OPINION OF THE ENEA S.A. MANAGEMENT BOARD of 19 January 2022

with the rationale for the waiver of all preemptive rights of all shareholders to all Series D Shares in connection with the planned increase of the Company's share capital by way of issuing Series D Shares, and the method of setting the issue price of Series D Shares

Pursuant to Article 433 § 2 of the Commercial Company Code Act of 15 September 2000 ("Commercial Company Code"), the Management Board of ENEA S.A. with its registered office in Poznań ("Company") prepared this opinion on 19 January 2022 in connection with the planned adoption, by the General Meeting of the Company, of a resolution in the matter of increasing the Company's share capital by issuing series D ordinary bearer shares ("Series D Shares"), waiving all preemptive rights of all existing shareholders to all Series D Shares, amending the Company's Statute, applying for admission and introduction to trading of Series D Shares and/or rights to Series D Shares on the regulated market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange and dematerialization of Series D Shares and/or rights to Series D Shares ("Issue Resolution").

1. Rationale for waiving pre-emptive rights to Series D Shares

The purpose of increasing the Company's share capital by issuing Series D Shares is allowing the Company to achieve its strategic goals and facilitating further development of the Company's activity. The purpose of Series D Shares is to raise the financing that the Company needs to finance investment projects to develop and modernize medium- and high-voltage transmission grids and install remote reading meters. Proceeds from the Series D Shares Issue may not be used to finance coal assets in the Company's group. The Management Board of the Company believes that, due to the reasons stated below, the waiver of all pre-emptive rights of the existing Company shareholders to all Series D Shares is fully justified and is in the Company's best interest due to the fact that the issue of shares by way of private subscription is the fastest and most convenient way of raising capital.

The waiver of pre-emptive rights of all existing Company shareholders to all Series D Shares will allow the Company to offer Series D Shares to both existing and new investors who meet the criteria specified below, and consequently to attract long-term investors.

The increase of the Company's share capital through an issue of Series D Shares with a waiver of all pre-emptive rights of all existing Company shareholders to these shares and the issue of Series D Shares by way of private subscription directed to investors selected by the Company's Management Board that meet the following criteria: (a) are qualified investors within the meaning of Article 1(4)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC; and/or (ii) they acquire securities for a total consideration of at least EUR 100,000 per investor, as referred to in Article 1(4)(d) of the Prospectus Regulation ("Eligible Investors"), will allow the Company to carry out a share capital increase in a relatively short period and will allow it to reduce the costs of issuing Series D Shares.

If the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders are not waived and Series D Shares have to be offered to all shareholders, the Company would be obligated to prepare a prospectus and apply to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ("KNF") for its approval. In such a case, the rights issue would have to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Commercial Company Code and the Act of 29 July 2005 on Public Offering and the Terms and Conditions for Introducing Financial Instruments to an Organized Trading System and on Public Companies; in particular, the shareholders would need time to exercise their pre-emptive right. The preparation and publication of a prospectus and the timing requirements for a rights issue would entail considerable additional costs to the Company and would adversely affect flexibility with respect to the timing of the offering on the part of the Company's Management Board.

The waiver of pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders, combined with the ability to issue Series D Shares by way of an offering addressed to Eligible Investors only, will allow the Company to increase its share capital and issue Series D Shares without the need to draw up a prospectus and have it approved by the KNF.

Considering the above, the Company's Management Board concludes that the issue of Series D Shares with a waiver of all pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders is in the Company's interest.

Accordingly, the Company's Management Board recommends that Series D Shares be issued with a waiver of all pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders.

The ability to take advantage of the priority of subscription to Series D Shares will depend on the prerequisites specified in the Issue Resolution.

Additionally, the draft Issue Resolution provides for a mechanism to prevent the dilution of shareholdings of the Eligible Investors taking part in the Bookbuilding Process holding a stake greater than 0.1% of all shares i the Company's share capital at the end of 22 February 2022, i.e. on the date of registration of participation in the Extraordinary General Meeting when the Issue Resolution is to be adopted ("Reference Date"), because it stipulates that such shareholders will have the priority, before other Eligible Investors, to obtain such an allotment of Series D Shares that will allow such investors, after the issue of Series D Shares, to maintain their stake in the Company's share capital at a level no lower than the stake held by them at the end of the Reference Date.

2. Method of setting the issue price of Series D Shares

The issue price of Series D Shares will be set by the Company's Management Board after consultation

with the offering managers involved in the offering of Series D Shares, taking into account the outcome of the bookbuilding process among the Eligible Investors and the economic conditions on the capital markets during the bookbuilding process for Series D Shares as well as the financial standing of the Company in the subscription period, current events and the outlook for the Company's development.

The issue price of Series D Shares will be set by the Company's Management Board also with the assumption of maximizing proceeds from the issue of Series D Shares.

Given the volatility of capital markets and the period between the date of the Issue Resolution adopted by the Extraordinary General Meeting and the date of setting the issue price for Series D Shares, the authorization given to the Management Board in this respect is justified and in the Company's interest.

3. Conclusions

Considering the rationale provided above, the Management Board recommends that the Extraordinary General Meeting adopt the Issue Resolution.
