ATTACHMENT
to Resolution No. [●] adopted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company operating under the business name of ENEA Spółka Akcyjna with its registered office in Poznań
on 10 March 2022
OPINION OF THE ENEA S.A. MANAGEMENT BOARD
dated [●] 2022
substantiating the deprivation of all shareholders in full of the pre-emptive rights to all the Series D Shares in connection with the intended increase in the Company's share capital through the issue of the Series D Shares and substantiating the method of determining the issue price for the Series D Shares
Pursuant to Article 433 § 2 of the Act of 15 September 2000 entitled the Commercial Company Code ("Commercial Company Code"), the Management Board of ENEA S.A. with its registered office in Poznań ("Company") prepared this opinion on [●] 2022 in connection with the intended adoption by the Company's General Meeting of a resolution to increase the Company's share capital through the issue of ordinary series D shares ("Series D Shares"), to deprive existing shareholders in full of the pre-emptive rights to all the Series D Shares, to amend the Company's Statute, to apply for the admission to trading and the floating of the Series D Shares and/or rights to the Series D Shares on the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the establishment of book-entry form for the Series D Shares and/or rights to the Series D Shares ("Issue Resolution").
1. Substantiation of the reasons for the deprivation of the pre-emptive right to the Series D Shares
The purpose of increasing the Company's share capital through the issue of the Series D Shares is to enable the Company to achieve its strategic objectives and facilitate the continued growth of the Company's business. The purpose of the issue of the Series D Shares is to raise the funds necessary for the Company to execute its intended investment projects aimed at the development and modernization of medium and high voltage transmission networks and the installation of remote reading meters. The proceeds from the issue of the Series D Shares may not be used to finance any carbon-fired assets of the Company's corporate group. In the opinion of the Company's Management Board, due to the reasons described below, the deprivation in full of the pre-emptive rights of the Company's existing shareholders to all the Series D Shares is entirely justified and consistent with the Company's best interests, because the issue of shares by way of a private placement is the fastest and most convenient method to raise capital.
Depriving the Company's existing shareholders of the pre-emptive rights to all the Series D Shares will enable the Company to offer the Series D Shares to both existing and new investors who fulfill the criteria specified below and, as a consequence, will enable the Company to attract long-term investors.
The increase in the Company's share capital through the issue of the Series D Shares with the deprivation of the Company's existing shareholders in full of the pre-emptive rights to such shares and the issue of the Series D Shares by way of a private placement targeted at investors selected by the Company's Management Board who fulfill the following criteria: (i) they 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 enable the Company to increase its share capital in a relatively short period of time and will help reduce the costs associated with the issue of the Series D Shares.
Unless the shareholders are deprived of the pre-emptive rights and unless the Company is permitted to offer the Series D Shares to only a selected group of investors rather than all its shareholders, the Company will have no choice but to prepare a prospectus and apply for its approval by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ("KNF"). In such case, the issue of shares with pre-emptive rights would have to be carried out in compliance with the requirements of the Commercial Company Code and the Act of 29 July 2005 on Public Offerings and the Terms and Conditions for Introducing Financial Instruments to an Organized Trading System and on Public Companies; in particular, the shareholders would have to be given a sufficient amount of time to enable their exercise of the pre-emptive rights. The preparation and publication of the prospectus and the need to ensure compliance with the requirements for the scheduling of an issue with pre-emptive rights would entail significant additional costs for the Company and would also adversely affect the flexibility of the Company's Management Board in selecting the timing for the share offering.
Depriving the existing shareholders of the pre-emptive rights coupled with the Company's ability to issue the Series D Shares through an offering targeted at only the Eligible Investors will enable the Company to increase its share capital and issue the Series D Shares without the need for the preparation and approval of a prospectus by the KNF.
In consideration of the foregoing, the Company's Management Board is convinced that the issue of the Series D Shares with the deprivation in full of the pre-emptive rights of the Company's existing shareholders is in the Company's best interest. Accordingly, the Company's Management Board recommends the issue of the Series D Shares with the deprivation in full of the pre-emptive rights of the Company's existing shareholders.
The ability to exercise the priority right to subscribe for the Series D Shares will depend on the fulfillment of the conditions provided for in the Issue Resolution.
Moreover, the draft Issue Resolution provides for a mechanism preventing the dilution of the stake held by the Eligible Investors participating in the Book-Building Process who hold a stake greater than 0.1% of the total number of shares in the Company's share capital as at the end of 22 February 2022, i.e. on the date of registration of the participation in the Extraordinary General Meeting at which the Issue Resolution is scheduled to be adopted ("Reference Date"), because it provides that such shareholders will enjoy the right of priority over the other Eligible Investors in the allocation of a number of the Series D Shares that will enable such investors, following the issue of the Series D Shares, to maintain their stake in the Company's share capital at a level not lower than the stake held by them as at the end of the Reference Date.
2. Method of determination of the issue price of the Series D Shares
The issue price for the Series D Shares will be determined by the Company's Management Board after consultations with the offering managers involved in the offering of the Series D Shares, in consideration of the outcomes of the book-building process with the participation of the Eligible Investors, taking into account the situation on the capital markets during the bookbuilding process for the Series D Shares and keeping in mind the Company's financial standing at the time of the subscriptions, the then current events and the Company's growth outlook.
The issue price for the Series D Shares will be determined by the Company's Management Board also based on the assumption of the maximization of proceeds from the issue of the Series D Shares.
Due to the volatility of the situation on the capital markets and the time lag between the date of adoption the Issue Resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting and the date of determination of the issue price for the Series D Shares, the granting of the authorization in this respect to the Company's Management Board is justified and consistent with the Company's best interest.
3. Conclusions
In the light of the foregoing substantiation, the Management Board recommends the adoption of the Issue Resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting.
