COMPETITIVENESS AND LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT ARE PIVOTAL TO OUR COMPANY

Dear Sirs and Madams,

As a new Management Board of Enea, we commenced our mission having in mind that our goal is enhancing the Group's competitiveness and guaranteeing its balanced and long-term development. We wish to manage the company effectively, consistently building its position and value on the market. Our investments are implemented to improve the reliability and security of energy supply, based on the Polish fuel. We will increase the Group's operating effectiveness via building optimum synergies. Of a special importance for us is improvement of the quality of our services and innovativeness. We intend to realise that all as a socially responsible business which is open to the needs of all the stakeholders, including Employees.

Effective management of development. Consistent building ofthe Group's position and value on the market.

Our fundamental duty is further development and strengthening of Enea Group's position on the Polish electricity and fuel market. Currently, we are implementing an investment plan resulting from the strategy being in force. Taking over the majority interest in LW Bogdanka by the Group in October 2015 resulted in the fact that we supplemented our chain of values with the segment of mining. Apart from short-term activities in order to establish appropriate operating synergies, resulting from that fact, we commenced works over the strategy verification to include this elementin our development programmes and investments on the short and long run.

Many changes are occurring to our company's immediate and farther environment. They also relate to national and EU regulations which have a direct impact on the sector in which the Group operates. We should be very well prepared to these changes, therefore at the verification of the strategy we set such a goal to us. We wish to orientate on the building and development of a strong innovative raw materials and energy group, having a financial potential to realise the development and innovation programmes.

Reliability and security of energy supplies based on local fuel. Investments in new sources, modernisation of the existing ones and in infrastructure.

The Group invests in the modernisation and development of generation capacities. In 2015 it spent PLN 1.95 billion for that purpose, of which almost PLN 1.4 billion was expenditures for the implementation of the key investment - a modern 1,075 MWe gross unit in Kozienice Power Plant. It is an extremely important project for the Group and for the whole power infrastructure in Poland. The construction's progress is 80%. Currently, the final stage of assembly works in the pressure part of the boiler is in progress. We are ahead of the unit's start-up, acceptance tests and in the end commissioning of the unit.

However, we invest not only in conventional energy sources. We are considering a further development within cogeneration and intend to increase energy production from wind. We are continuing the construction of 14.1 MW Baczyna wind farm and the project of max. 10 MW extension of Bardy wind farm. We are constantly analysing the market as regards potential acquisitions which will be business-effective and will become a part of the Polish energy policy.

Additionally, investments in the maintenance, modernisation and development of the distribution network are very important for the Group. That allows us to provide our Customers with energy of better quality parameters. In 2015 PLN 0.9 billion was allocated to this purpose. During the following years the outlays will range from

PLN 0,81 billion to PLN 1 billion.

Increasing operational efficiency. Building optimumsynergies within the business operations.

Operating Summary Enea SA's organisation and operations Financial position Shares and shareholding Enea SA's authorities Corporate governance CSR 2 In October 2015 Enea Group became the owner of a total of 66% of LW Bogdanka's shares. The mine from Lublin is the best producer of bituminous coal in Poland, outstanding in the sector as regards the financial results generated, efficiency of bituminous coal mining and investment plans providing for the availability of new resources. Enea obtained profitable assets which are to guarantee a competitive and predictable fuel price within the Group and long-term reliability of supplies, and additional income from sales beyond the Group. For Bogdanka it means strengthening of its position in a more and more difficult market environment.

Due to the transaction we have a possibility of implementing a range of synergies, both on the operating level (optimisation of: transaction costs, maintenance management, support functions, and joint purchases), and on the investment level. In next months we will concentrate on the preparation of the integration of both enterprises and identification of long-term initiatives of increasing the value so that the synergies with LW Bogdanka are used possibly in the best way. We wish to prove that it is possible to build a modern and efficient raw materials and energy group and relevant cooperation (business model) of energy and mining sectors may have a deep economic sense and may build corporate value for the company's Shareholders.

In the other business areas of our chain of values, i.e. generation, trade, trading in energy and fuels, we will also work on the cost and organisational effectiveness so that to establish synergies and the required financial and organisational potential for the planned development programmes.

Customer in the centre of attention. Better quality of services and market offer.

The demand for electricity in Poland should increase. If we compare the level of electricity consumption per citizen, then we are far behind Germany, France or Great Britain. Therefore we intend to further focus on good Customer service and high quality of the market offer, adjusted to Customer needs. We will intend to strengthen our position on the market using the most optimal organisation and product solutions. We will wish to take care for the satisfaction and loyalty of our Customers offering them diversified and price-attractive product connecting the sales of electricity with packages of additional benefits. Yet, in the area of wholesale trade we will be an important player on the market of energy and fuels, we also consider increasing the activity beyond the domestic market.

Investments in innovations and new technologies.

Our activity in the area of innovations and supporting new technologies will become a part of the domestic economy development programme. Research and development projects have a potential of solving problems which are significant for the power sector, however they need engagement of considerable funds and time, with no guarantee of achieving a commercial success. Changing market conditions and legal environment have impact on the development of technologies. In the area of energy sales we will search for new products and services increasing Customer commitment in the conscious use of electricity. Solutions in the field of smart grids have

a great potential in the area of distribution and an important direction within generation will surely be the so called clean coal technologies. We intend to participate in the prepared sectoral programme for the power engineering of the National Centre for Research and Development.

Corporate Social Responsibility. Dialogue with the Community Side.

We are a responsible company and we will still act for the benefit of our environment and surroundings. One of the important elements of an efficient Group development management is relevant communication with its key Stakeholders and building trust to the company and its operations. Enea Foundation's operations within the community involvement and projects resulting from the strategy of the Group's sustainable development serve that goal. One of our priorities is an open dialogue with local communities and local governments and public institutions representing them. We also intend to continue the dialogue with the Community Side. Human capital is the greatest value of our company and we want to have an open and substantive dialogue.

Yours sincerely,

Mirosław Kowalik

President of the Management Board of Enea SA

In relation to the non-audit recommendations of the Control and Audit Office within a clear specification of the division of tasks and responsibility in the field of indirect sales between the Sales Department and Portfolio and Product Management Department - the tasks mentioned in the Rules of Enea SA's Organisational Units were made more detailed.

The core business of the Company is realised by the Portfolio and Product Management Department and Sales Department, within which e.g. field units are operating. Activity within management and service for the Company support is realised in the following Departments: Development Strategy, Controlling, Operating Management, Corporate, Corporate Communication, Human Resources Management, Risk Management and Audit and Control Office.

Update of the corporate strategy of Enea Capital Group for 2014-2020

The Corporate Strategy of Enea Capital Group was updated in 2015.

The strategy update is connected with the dynamic changes which occurred in respect of market and regulatory conditions formulating the power sector in Poland during the recent years. The changes include e.g. slower than anticipated pace of growth in demand for electricity and lower level of energy prices, significant reduction in investment plans in the area of generation and changing the fuel structure, issue of RES regulation, potential of extracting gas from non-conventional deposits in Poland and challenges faced by the segment of distribution and energy sales. Active observance of the market environment in which Enea Capital Group operates, department of innovation, potential, the Group's position and realisation of a considerable part of the strategy approved in 2013 became premises for the update of the document setting the Group's development directions.

Enea CG's mission and vision remained unchanged.

Update of the corporate strategy of Enea Capital Group for 2014-2020

Taking into account the key results of the strategic analyses the final scenario of Enea CG's development was defined. Enea CG's superior idea of operations is building value for shareholders and guaranteeing the reliability of energy supplies to Customers.

  • concentration of operations on the power market
  • growth in all the links of the energy chain of value in order to build a strong long-term position of Enea CG on the market
  • Group's development supported by acquisitions within the emerging market opportunities
  • guaranteeing the Group's full operating integration and continuous undertaking of activities for the enhancement of the efficiency of its functioning and ensuring an optimum level of competence
  • Group's further developmentin particular links of the chain of values supported by implementing new solutions

In the Strategy Update the Group particularly addressed three new elements:

Securing fuel supplies for own generating assets

Enea CG holds mainly the generating assets based on bituminous coal. The profitability of energy generation from bituminous coal is currently under a great pressure and it is anticipated that the pressure will increase (RES development, costs of CO2 emissions, development of transborder connections). Thus, energy companies must adjust the purchase of coal from mining assets so that to reduce the cost and improve the competitiveness of the generation based on coal.

Innovations

The implementation of innovations and new technologies is one of the key factors affecting the enterprise competitiveness on the market. In the conditions of a durable global low level of economic growth the innovativeness and innovations become the key factors enabling generation of a growth in revenue and margins on products. Enea CG's innovation operations will be strongly focused on Customer needs and raising the internal efficiency of the organisation. The Group, as a beneficiary of implemented innovations, will build the competitiveness and enhance the efficiency of operations.

Enea Capital Group's extended staff policy

Conclusions from the analysis of Enea CG's needs within human resources management and the current situation within this area indicate that it is necessary to extend and implement a comprehensive HR policy for Enea CG. It will guarantee the realisation of tasks faced by Enea CG and will satisfy ambitions and professional aspirations of employees. Within the human resources management we will concentrate on raising the work efficiency, e.g. through formulating and implementation of the policy for managing work results and performance based remuneration, management of competences, knowledge and employee development.

CORPORATE STRATEGY

Update of the corporate strategy of Enea Capital Group for 2014-2020

  • Construction of 1,075 MW unit in Kozienice Power Plant
  • Environment investments which will enable continuation of work of generation assets after 2015
  • RES development
  • Development of cogeneration sources and heating networks
  • Implementation of a programme enhancing reliability and reducing network failure rate
  • Implementation of smart grid solution development programme
  • Activities directed at reducing the volume of electricity needed for the coverage of losses in the balance of energy
  • Higher volumes of electricity sales with a concurrent margin building
  • Development of the new product range
  • Development of remote Customer service channels (Contact Centre line, website, e-CSC)
  • Customer loyalisation

• Cost optimisation • Shared Service Centre operating stabilisation • Building an efficient organisation capable of obtaining, evaluation and implementation of innovations in Enea Group • Improvement of the service processes of external and internal Customers • Concentration on core operations • Non-core entities restructuring Implementation of challenges faced by Enea Group will enhance its competitive advantage: DISTRIBUTION

In 2015-2020 the Group plans to implement investments in the total amount of ca. PLN 17 billion, which will be covered from own funds and obtained debt financing. Taking into account the capital expenditures incurred in 2014 totalling to ca. PLN 2.8 billion, the total CAPEX for 2014-2020 perspective practically remains on the same level: ca. PLN 20 billion.

Guaranteeing stable supplies of cheap fuel is the key way to maintain the profitability of conventional generation - factors resulting in the need of searching for profitable mining

Generation from bituminous coal is
presently
on
the
edge
of
profitability
  • The average gross margin in 2014 amounted to 2% and during the recent years a considerable worsening of the energy generation from bituminous coal was observed (gross margin 2% in 2014 compared to 14% in 2011)
  • Currently, generating assets based on bituminous coal are swept away from the market by those based on brown coal

  • EU policy RES energy support systems, CO2 policy, transborder connections - make energy generation from bituminous coal exposed to more and more pressure on profitability

  • Pressure on reducing overhead costs of generation i.e. on reducing fuel costs

Profitability pressure will increase At the same time, investment plans within generation based on coal are significant

  • Power strategy in Poland foresees investment plans in energy generating sources based on bituminous coal
  • Financial ability to implement these investments must guarantee reinstatement and reliability of supplies - risk of breaching the financing terms

Implications for energy groups

  • Energy companies must adjust coal purchases from generating assets which will optimise the efficiency (cost of mining, transport, coal quality, technological adaptation) and reliability of supplies to generating assets
  • Without cost effective generating assets based on bituminous coal, coal based power plants will have high overheads and will be marginalised and will automatically decrease the domestic market of bituminous coal, which will result in the further deepening of the energetic materials oversupply.

Basic benefits for Enea due to takeover of LW Bogdanka

  • Hedging profitable energy generation from coal 1
  • The transaction of acquiring LW Bogdanka should be recognised as the forward transaction of coal purchase at a bargain price, which is fully technologically adapted for firing in Kozienice Power Plant

Control over the key supplier 2

  • In 2014 supplies from LW Bogdanka to Enea amounted to around 70% of the whole demand, but the historical and long-term forecast share is closer to 80%
  • Minimisation of takeover risk
  • Impact on formulating coal costs for own units
  • Perspectives of the further growth in value 3
  • Better debt ratios
  • Enea has a possibility of introducing further profitability improvement of LW Bogdanka (operating optimisation)
  • Operating synergies:
  • transport costs optimisation
  • common purchases
  • risk management optimisation
  • support function optimisation
  • • Investment synergies

Insurance contracts

Insurance agreements in Enea Group, including Enea SA, are concluded in accordance with the corporate Insurance Policy. Due to the common Policy insurance standards were standardised in the Group and insurance protection acquisitions were consolidated obtaining indicative benefits as regards the premium and insurance coverage.

Enea Group Companies, including Enea SA, transfer the risk of incurring losses as a result of property damage and third party claims through conclusion of insurance agreements with largest insurance agencies such as PZU, TUiR WARTA, STU Ergo Hestia, TU Allianz Polska.

Because of a great exposure of Enea Group Companies, including Enea SA, to damage and potential claims it may not be ruled out that the concluded insurances are insufficient. The insurance coverage level does not diverge from the standards applied in the Polish electrical power industry and is adjusted to the specifics of operations of particular companies.

Agreements between shareholders of the parent company

The Company is not aware of any agreements between shareholders of Enea SA.

The nominal debt for the bonds issued by Enea SA as at 31 December 2015 totalled to PLN 3.701 billion.

Transactions hedging the interest rate risk in 2015

Implementing the Interest Rate Risk Management Policy Enea SA concluded transactions in 2015 which hedge the interest rate risk (Interest Rate Swap) for the total equivalence of the debt in the amount of PLN 2,995 mln. The concluded transactions hedge the level of settlements and payments resulting from the debt through the permanent change of variable interest streams.

Use of proceeds from the issue of securities

The funds obtained by Enea SA from the bond issue are used on the implementation of real and equity investments conducted by Subsidiaries.

Enea Wytwarzanie has been constructing the most modern power unit in Poland in Świerże Górne. All the issues performed by Enea Wytwarzanie in 2015 were devoted to financing the expenses associated with the project.

The funds obtained by Enea SA in September 2015 from bond issue in the amount of PLN 500 mln and PLN 740 mln were devoted for the purchase of LW Bogdanka SA.

Assessment of the Feasibility of Implementing Investment Plans

The Company's financial standing gives strong bases to implement investment plans. The balance sheet, equity and balance of cash of Enea Capital Group provide a solid base for capital expenditures financing, both from our own resources and external sources. In order to use its resources efficiently, in their further investment activities (particularly in the area of acquisitions) the Company intends to make use of debt financing so as to attain leverage.

Credit and loan agreements concluded and completed

Enea SA, according to the nominal debt as at 31 December 2015, had loans in the amount of PLN 1,525,000 thou., including borrowings drawn by Enea SA in 2015:

Macroeconomic situation

Enea Capital Group's operations are focused basically on the territory of Poland. The same macroeconomic factor affecting both the achieved results and the financial situation is the development pace and the general condition of the Polish economy.

According to the preliminary data of the Gdańsk Institute for Market Economics (IBnGR) in 2015 the economic growth pace was 3.6%. It constituted the highest pace of economic growth for four years.

2012-2016 GDP dynamics [%]

The key factor of the economic growth in 2015 was the domestic demand. The domestic demand was mainly affected by total consumption and individual consumption. From among the elements of the domestic demand the greatest dynamics was reported for gross expenditures on fixed assets, i.e. capital expenditures. As regards sectors the fastest growing area of economy in 2015 was the industry.

Pursuant to the forecast of IBnGR the rate of growth of the gross domestic product in 2016 will amount to 3.6%, which means it will be the same as in the previous year. According to the forecast of IBnGR, the economic situation will be better in H1 2016 - GDP growth will amount to 3.9% in Q1 and 3.6% in Q2. In H2 2016 it may be anticipated that the growth rate will decrease to the level of 3.3% in Q4. Pursuant to the forecast in 2017 the economic situation will still worsen - forecast GDP growth rate is 3.1%. In 2016, the added value in the industry will grow by 5.5%. Worsening of the economic situation in 2017 will be observable particularly in the industry, where the added value will grow by 4.2%. The pace of growth of the domestic demand in 2016 will amount to 3.4%, i.e. the same as in 2015. And in 2017, the domestic demand will grow much slower, i.e. on the forecast level of 2.7%.

In 2015 the average annual inflation rate amounted to (-)0.9%. It was the lowest average annual ratio of price fluctuations from the beginning of the market economy in Poland. Pursuant to the forecast by IBnGR already in Q1 2016 the deflation will be still reported for the Polish economy. In next quarters there will be expected growth in consumer prices. In 2016 the average annual inflation level will be 0.7%. In 2017, it is anticipated that the prices will grow faster in Poland - the average level of inflation will be 2.2% next year.

The summary of the key macroeconomic ratios characteristic for the Polish economy in 2015-2017 is presented below.

Description unit 2015 2016 2017
GDP % growth 3.6 3.6 3.1

Legal frames of energy market functioning

Regulatory surrounding

Enea Capital Group's, including Enea SA's, operations are conducted in the environment subject to specific legal regulations, both in Poland and in the European Union.

Legal regulations relating to the energy sector often derive from political decisions, therefore there is a risk of frequent changes within this scope, which the Company cannot foresee. Additionally, environmental requirements of a legal nature become more and more rigorous, which, as a consequence, may be translated into the necessity of incurring additional expenditures to meet them.

In 2015, the President of the Republic of Poland signed an act on renewable energy sources. The goal of the act is increasing the energy security and environment protection, e.g. as a result of an efficient use of renewable energy sources. The act provides for, e.g., achievement of at least 15% share of energy from renewable sources in the final gross consumption of energy in 2020. Enea SA will be the so called obliged vendor, i.e. an entity obliged to purchase electricity generated in RES installations connected to the network of Enea Operator sp. z o.o. On 29 December 2015 the Sejm adopted, after consideration of the Senate's amendments, the content of the act amending the act on renewable energy sources and the Energy Law. The goal of the amendment which came into force on 31 December 2015 is adjournment by 6 months of entry into force of the provisions of chapter 4 of the Act of 20 February 2015 on renewable energy sources.

Since 7 October 2015 there has been a duty to report basic transactions and data (for standard contracts for electricity and gas supplies) to the European Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (Agency or ACER).

Rents

Energy groups operate on the Polish energy market based on granted licences. Enea holds a licence for:

  • generation of electricity valid until 31 December 2025
  • trade in gaseous fuels valid until 31 December 2030

Domestic consumption of electricity

Pursuant to the data published by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne the domestic consumption of electricity in 2015 was higher by 1.7% than in 2014.

Domestic consumption of electricity - annually in 2006-2015 [GWh]

Energy sector is a strategic sector for Poland. Therefore, the Company's operations may affect political decisions, both in Poland and in the European Union. They may relate to both the directions of the energy policy and detailed legal regulations and be reflected e.g. in prices of electricity.

Electricity prices

Prices of electricity are affected by many elements - including market and regulatory factors. It is anticipated that the key factors affecting prices of electricity in Poland will include:

  • fuel costs, including mainly prices of coal and, to a smaller extent, gas in Poland
  • investments in modernisation of generating plants imposed by the regulations relating to the environment protection and investments in new generating capacities, and in particular replacement of used generating units
  • investments in the transmission system which currently demonstrates deficits of strong intersystemic connections with other countries, which results in the fact that import of electricity is not a significant element of additional supply of electricity and reliability of supplies to end users
  • European Emissions Trading System

Tariffs

Another factor that may significantly affect the level of generated revenue are decisions of the President of ERO on tariff approval. The tariff calculation method is to guarantee that an energy company has sufficient funds to cover the costs planned for the tariff period in question, provided that the President of the ERO deems them justified; and generates a particular margin (in trading) or return on capital (in distribution) while ensuring that customers' interests are protected against unreasonably high prices and rates of charges.

Tariffs are usually approved for a period of one year. The President of ERO also determines the length of regulatory periods (from three to five years) for which he lays down a model level of costs deemed to be justified. On 17 December 2015 the President of ERO approved the tariffs for operators of distribution systems. On the same day, the regulator approved tariffs for sale of electricity as well.

Exemption form the obligation to tariff households

Pursuant to Article 49 of the Energy law, the President of ERO may exempt an energy company from the obligation of submitting tariffs for approval, if he states that it operates competitively. A potential exemption from tariffing may positively affectthe margin on sales of energy.

Areas of operations

In 1997 the process of demonopolisation of the Polish electricity market was commenced. It led to its division into particular areas: generation, transmission and distribution and trade in electricity.

The electricity market is generation, transmission and distribution and trade in electricity

Most of electricity on the Polish market is still generated based on conventional fuels, i.e. bituminous coal and brown coal. Exhausting of fossil fuel resources and the problem of an excessive emission of carbon dioxide result in the fact that the role of renewable energy sources (RES) is growing in energy generation. During the recent years the awareness grew in Poland in relation to the environment damage caused by conventional energy, and membership in the European Union was an additional impulse to restructure the Polish energy sector.

Renewable energy is obtained due to natural and repeated processes. Pursuant to the Energy Law in the generation process a renewable source of energy uses wind energy, sun light, aero thermal energy, geothermal energy, hydrothermal energy, energy of waves, currents and tides, lower levels of rivers and energy obtained from biomass, biogas derived from waste depots, and also biogas generated in the processes of disposal or treatment of waste water or decomposition of plant and animal remains.

Development of electricity generation from renewable sources results from the need to protect the environment and enhance the energy security. The goal of these activities is increasing the volume of energy generated from renewable sources, technology development and innovation support, creating possibilities of regional growth and greater reliability of energy supplies, especially on a local scale.

The obligations resulting from e.g. 3 x 20 climate package include Poland's duty to obtain 15% share of RES in energy consumption until 2020. Pursuing the growth of this share in the electricity production balance in Poland, due to high investment costs, requires using relevant support systems, being the guarantee of their regular development.

Transmission of electricity means its transportation via transmission networks (to distribution networks or end users connected to the grid). Energy distribution is its transportation to end users using distribution networks.

Pursuant to the Energy Law, performing business activities within transmission or distribution of electricity requires obtaining a licence from the President of ERO. Key distributors of electricity in Poland are: Enea Operator sp. z o.o., TAURON Dystrybucja SA, PGE Dystrybucja SA and ENERGA-OPERATOR SA.

Trade in electricity is business activity within wholesale or retail sale of electricity requiring obtaining a licence from the President of ERO. Trade in electricity in Poland is performed in three substantial segments of the energy market: contract market, exchange market and balancing market.

Trade in electricity on the contract market is performed based on bilateral contracts (agreements) concluded between energy producers and companies trading in energy and end Customers.

The exchange market includes trade on the energy exchange (Polish Power Exchange). Trade in energy on PPE is performed mainly on the so called Day Ahead Market (DAM). DAM is conducted as at the date preceding the day on which the physical delivery takes place.

The Balancing Market is a specific area of the energy market, on which the differences between the transactions concluded among particular market participants and the actual demand for electricity are balanced.

Key energy groups

The energy market in Poland is composed mainly by four energy groups: Enea, PGE, TAURON, ENERGA.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management

Enea Group in each segment of the conducted operations is exposed to risks. Their materialisation may significantly and adversely affect the continuity of operations of particular Group Companies, their financial standing and ability to realise the set strategic goals.

The awareness of these risks requires maintenance, use and continuous improvement of the formalised and integrated risk management system (ERM). Its frames are specified by the uniform Corporate Risk Management Policy in force in Enea Group. ERM system in Enea Group is based on the comprehensive coverage of the risk management objective, specification of detailed rules of identification and risk assessment. On this basis the key corporate risks are selected and monitoring takes place of the exposure to these risks and preparation and monitoring of the mitigation plans. In the case of some corporate risks, such as credit, loss of liquidity, interest rate risks and commodity risks, a formalised approach to risk managementtakes the form of dedicated Policies and Procedures.

Adopted rules of risk management are set based on the highest management standards and are compliant with best market practices within this area.

In 2015 the risk management system was subject to further development and prices optimisation.

Management model

Realisation of the HR Policy in Enea Capital Group in 2015

The Capital Group's attractiveness as an employer is built on the corporate values:

  • aware development of the organisational culture and positive attitudes among employees
  • promoting the culture of sharing knowledge in the organisation
  • supporting behaviours which build external and internal customer satisfaction

Efficient management of competences and resources within HR improves the Group's operations:

  • we implemented a new HR organisation model in selected Group Companies. It is based on the Shared Service Centre concept. The result of these actions is standardisation of HR processes, which translates into the efficiency of functioning of the whole Group
  • The training policy of Enea Group enables the growth in specialisation of services processes
  • the goal of the human resources management policy is a better quality of Customer service in the Group Companies

Trainings allow to fully use Enea Group's employee potential:

  • competence development programmes for the managerial staff support its growth
  • we have implemented the internal monitoring and coaching programme for employees on positions related to the core business
  • personal and managerial skills development programme for sales employees was a consequence of assessing competences in the Group
  • we continue the training policy providing employees with an access to specialist trainings improving professional knowledge,required authorisations and qualifications

Due to education the Capital Group decreases the risk of a generation gap:

  • we cooperate with educational institutions and organise internships and trainings
  • we are consistently building the image of a demanded employer and win the best candidates

The Group realises Programmes of Voluntary Redundancy (PVR) which are treated as a tool protecting against the uncontrolled departure of required competences.

Collective disputes

There are no collective labour disputes in any of the key companies comprising Enea CG. In order to eliminate the risk and occurrence of a potential collective dispute the boards of the companies have a regular dialogue with the society.

Demand for energy

According to the Ministry of Economy the demand for electricity in the next years will grow in all the sectors of economy. Net production of electricity will increase until 2030 to 193.3 TWh - as results from forecasts by the Ministry of Economy included in "Update of the projection of demand for fuels and energy until 2030". At the same time, pursuant to the document titled "Conclusions from forecast analyses for the needs of the Energy Policy of Poland until 2050" until 2050 the production of electricity will increase by ca. 40% - from 158 TWh until 2010 to 223 TWh in 2050. 1)

Quality tariff

The new model of the quality regulation came into force on 1 January 2016, yet it will have impact on the finances of Enea Operator (and other ODSs) as late as in 2018. The President of the Energy Regulatory Office made some part of the regulated income dependant on the quality of services rendered by these entities. Service quality assessment will be performed by measuring numerous ratios, in particular of uninterrupted power supply and time of connecting to the power grid.

Exemption form the obligation to tariff households

Pursuant to Article 49 of the Energy law, the President of ERO may exempt an energy company from the obligation of submitting tariffs for approval, if he states that it operates competitively. A potential exemption from tariffing may positively affect the margin on sales of energy.

Growth in the number of energy sellers

The number of electricity sellers grows regularly. Appearing of a seller conducting an aggressive price policy may result in the pressure on the margin on sales of energy to retail Consumers.

Additionally, it must be noted that more and more Customers decide to change their energy seller. The number of TPA recipients (Third Party Access) among enterprises (tariff group sets A, B, C) as at the end of December 2015 amounted to 158,596, thus grew from the end of December 2014 by 35,818 (29.2%). And among households (tariff group set G) the TPA principle was used, as at the end of December 2015, by 391,351 entities, which means a growth by 103,624 (36.0%)in relation to the end of December 2014.

Long-term development of energy market

On 16 February 2016 the Government of Poland adopted "Plan for Responsible Development of Poland" 3) The document specifies the key directions of the state functioning and new impulses which ensure its stable development in the future. The plan foresees that the development of the Polish economy will be based on five pillars:

  • reindustrialisation
  • innovation
  • capital
  • foreign expansion
  • social and regional development

Pursuant to the provisions of the document relating to the energy market, in order to increase energy efficiency and unlock the investment after 2020 (including avoidance of blackout and becoming independent from energy imports) the state intends to e.g. support the development of energy infrastructure (energy bridges, power storing technologies), liberalise market segments and introduce capacity market mechanism which would be an impulse for investments in the segment of conventional power engineering.

New projections for energy price paths

Long-term financial projections of Enea Group based on the forecast electricity price paths, expectations as regards the changes of market prices of certificates of origin for energy, allowances for emissions of CO2 and coal prices demonstrate a more and more requiring situation of the segment of Generation. Due to the maintaining of energy prices on exceptionally low levels, resulting in the imbalance between generated revenue and costs of energy generation, the Group foresees the necessity of a quick entry into force of the announced support mechanisms for system power engineering. Difficulties in generating good financial results by generating sources will exclude a possibility of incurring expenditures for development investments which during the coming years seem inevitable.

Structure of generating portfolio

Within the realisation of the superlative goal of Enea CG, i.e. higher value for shareholders, the Group pursues the improvement in the core financial ratios. Building a competitive generating portfolio is one of the basic elements of realisation of the above strategic goal. The Group pursues the development of the generating capacities to the level of additional 1,075 MWe in the segment of system power plants in 2017. In 2020 it is planned to additionally achieve ca. 500 MWe power from RES and ca. 200 MWe and 1,000 MWt in cogeneration sources and heating networks.

The detailed description of the structure of the generating portfolio of Enea CG is published on page 21 of this Report.

Continuation of the construction of the power unit

In 2012 Enea Wytwarzanie and Hitachi Power Europe GmbH (presently Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH) and Polimex-Mostostal SA consortium signed an agreement totalling to PLN 5.1 billion on the construction of 1,075 MWe gross supercritical bituminous coal fired power unit of the efficiency of 45.6% net. The investment in the construction of the new power unit is one of the key undertakings in order to increase generating capacities of Enea Group for a long-term satisfaction of the demand for electricity of all Enea Group's Customers. The new power unit in Kozienice will be the most modern unit fired with bituminous coal in Poland and Europe. The completion of the investment will allow for increasing generating capacities of the power plantin Kozienice by ca. 30%.

Limits of allowances for emissions of CO2

A material element within costs, conditioning the profitability of electricity generation is the allocation of free allowances for emissions of CO2 and other gases and substances in a given settlement period. Obtaining a free allocation of CO2 emission is conditional on the implementation of dedicated investments in Enea CG notified in the National Investment Plan (NIP). The value of actual outlays is the base for obtaining allowances.

Long-Term Power Purchase Agreements (LTPPA)

As the European Commission has found that long-term contracts on the sale of power and electricity (LTPPA) constitute prohibited state aid, the Polish parliament adopted an act intended to terminate those contracts. Under the Act on covering stranded costs incurred by power companies due to the early termination of long-term power purchase agreements of 29 June 2007, companies are entitled to receive compensation for stranded costs incurred as a result of the early termination of LTPPAs.

Enea Wytwarzanie has been entitled to receive the compensation by title of LTPPAs since 1 April 2008. 2014 was the last year of Enea Wytwarzanie's remaining in the aid programme. On 25 August 2015, the President of ERO delivered the decision relating to the so called final adjustment summing up the whole aid programme. The President of ERO determined the amount of the final adjustment of stranded costs for Enea Wytwarzanie in the amount of PLN (+)315.5 mln. Detailed information on this decision was published in the currentreport No. 32/2015 of 27 August 2015.

On 30 December 2015 the funds in the amount resulting from the decision on the final adjustment of stranded costs were credited to the Company's account.

Financial results forecasts

The Management Board of Enea SA did not publish any financial forecasts for 2015.

Principles of preparation of annual consolidated financial statements and basis for publication

This Report of the Management Board on the operations of Enea SA for the financial year of 2015 was prepared in accordance with § 92 item 1(4) and § 92 item 3 in conjunction with § 91 item 5-6 of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 19 February 2009 on current and periodic information published by issuers of securities and conditions of recognising as equivalent information required by legal regulations of a state not being a member state (J. L. No. 33, item 259 as amended).

Non-consolidated financial statements of Enea SA included in the non-consolidated report of Enea SA for the financial year of 2015 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IASs/IFRS) approved by the European Union.

Non-consolidated financial statements of Enea SA were prepared with an assumption of continuing business operations by the Issuer in the foreseeable future. The Company's Board states, as at the signature of the non-consolidated report, no facts or circumstances that could indicate any threats to the possibility of continuing the activity during the period of 12 months after the balance sheet date as a result of a wilful or mandatory negligence or substantial limitation of the so far activities.

Financial data presented in the statements, if not stated otherwise, was presented in thousands of PLN.

Used financial instruments

Enea SA has been realising the strategy of hedging the interest rate risk whose key purpose is hedging cash flows resulting from concluded financing agreements. The adopted strategy foresees the threats of impacting the financial result, changes in cash flows resulting from the risk of interest rate versatility on the market in a given time horizon. In 2015, within the concluded agreements on transactions on the financial market the interest rate risk was hedged for the total amount of PLN 2,995,000 thou. Interest rate risk hedging was made based on the Interest Rate Swap (IRS) instruments.

Financial resources management

In January 2014 Enea Capital Group Companies and PKO BP SA and Pekao SA concluded agreements for the comprehensive banking service, including Cash Pooling service. The objective of the aforementioned agreements was provision of an efficient cash management and improvement of the financial liquidity of particular Companies of the Group, including Enea SA. A Cash Pooling agreement foresees the consolidation of bank accounts, as a result of which the account balances of Companies belonging to Enea Tax Capital Group are balanced by covering transitory financial deficits with surpluses of cash of other Companies incorporated under Enea TCG.

The current Companies' liquidity management is concentrated on planning the cash flows and monitoring the current concentration of cash resources on bank accounts. The occurring financial surpluses are allocated by Enea SA as the Pool Leader in current assets as fixed-term deposits or are transferred to the investment portfolio managed by Asset Management external entities. In order to standardise the liquidity and liquidity risk management process Enea TCG holds intragroup regulations in force which are biding for the Companies: policy and procedure of liquidity and liquidity risk management At the same time, in order to limit the risk resulting from lack of funds for the settlement of liabilities in a timely fashion Enea Capital Group Companies have an access to intraday limits as part of Cash Pooling services.

Rating

Maintaining on 29 October 2015 by Fitch Ratings agency of a long-term rating of Enea SA in national and foreign currency on the level of "BBB" and a long-term national rating on the level of "A(pol)" in relation to LW Bogdanka's takeover is of a key importance as to the realisation of the investment intentions of the Group. The outlook of the ratings is stable. Fitch Ratings has been assessing Enea's credit risk since 2012. On 23 March 2015 EuroRating issued a credit rating on the level of"BBB" for the Company with a stable outlook. The rating mentioned above was awarded by EuroRating on its own initiative, in reply to the information needs of market participants, and the credit risk assessment process was based on the publicly known information. In relation to the takeover of the control over Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka on 21 October EuroRating agency performed an extraordinary verification of Enea's credit risk. Enea's rating was maintained on the same BBB level with a stable outlook.

Court and administrative proceedings

As at the date of publication of this report, no proceedings is underway regarding liabilities or claims, the party to which would be Enea SA or its subsidiary, whose single or total value would amount to 10% or more of Enea SA's equity.

The detailed description of the proceedings is to be found in Note 50 of the consolidated financial statements of Enea CG for 2015.

Anticipated financial position

A large share of the regulated segment of Distribution in Enea CG's EBITDA (in 2015 Distribution accounted for 55% of Enea CG's EBITDA) affects the predictability of cash flows and stabilises them over time. However, two facts are of some importance for this segment: a drop in the average weighted average cost of capital (WACC) by 1.522 p.p. (from 7.197% in 2015 to 5.675% in 2016) and introduction by the Energy Regulatory Office of the so called "quality tariff" since 2016. The introduced mechanism of clearing accounts with distributors of electricity based on SAIDI and SAIFI indices realised in a given year, may significantly affect reduction of EBITDA in the segment of Distribution. Reduction of WACC may decrease EBITDA in the segment by ca. PLN 58 mln annually.

Segment of Generation remains under the influence of the demanding situation on the energy market. The production concentrated on bituminous coal involves the exposure to risk related to carbon dioxide emission costs.

The entity authorised to audit financial statements In Q4 2015, as a result of LW Bogdanka's acquisition, Enea CG's chain of values was extended with the segment of Mining, whose results have been consolidated since 1 November 2015. In the whole 2015 LW Bogdanka generated the best results in the industry, however its operations are still under the pressure of an unstable situation on the coal market. In 2016 the full compensation of the forecast drop in coal prices with a higher volume of its sales will not be probably achieved. A priority will be maintaining the unit costs on an appropriate level and limitation of investment expenditures in order to maximise the generated results.

In the Area of Trade we have been increasing sales of electricity and gaseous fuel - due to an attractive product range new Customers are obtained, and the volume of sold energy increases. Higher costs relating to the entry into force, as of 30 April 2014, of cogeneration obligations and a significant reduction in market prices of proprietary interests negatively affects the financial results of this segment.

Despite difficult market and legal conditions, due to the realised cost restructuring and reducing operating costs Enea CG generates financial results on an anticipated level. In the face of a more and more demanding situation on the energy market the Management Board will undertake subsequent activities in order to optimise the functioning of each segment of the Group.

The Group's financial standing is safe, supported with a significant volume of cash, which as at the end of December 2015, including current financial assets kept to maturity and financial assets valued at fair value through result, amounted to PLN 2.1 billion. The amount included the cash on the Companies' accounts, bank deposits, and also cash and cash equivalents managed by an external company. Due to a consistently maintained very good financial standing and building credibility on the financial market, the Group has a guaranteed access to attractive and flexible sources of financing for investments specified in the corporate strategy due to the concluded agreements:

  • Agreement relating to the bond issue programme up to the amount of PLN 3 billion concluded with PKO BP, Bank Pekao, BZ WBK and Bank Handlowy w Warszawie
  • Agreement relating to the bond issue programme up to the maximum amount of PLN 5 billion concluded with PKO BP, ING Bank Śląski, Pekao and mBank
  • Two Programme Agreements relating to the issue of long-term bonds totalling to PLN 1.7 billion concluded with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego
  • Three Loan agreements with the European Investment Bank for the total amount of PLN 2,371 billion

It is expected that in 2016 the ratio defined as net debt/EBITDA will not exceed the level of 2.6. A growth in the ratio stems from a vast CAPEX programme (capital expenditures) covering mainly the segment of generation and the distribution network, and also acquisitions constituting market opportunities (as the recent acquisition of LW Bogdanka).

The implementation of the investment programme and efficiency improvement programme will positively affect the financial results of Enea CG. Due to the planned optimisation activities in 2016 Enea Group plans a reduction in costs by PLN 352 mln.

Significant events occurring after the balance sheet date

On 7 January 2016, Enea SA drew another tranche of a loan granted on 29 May 2015 by the European Investment Bank in the amount of PLN 100 mln. The interest rate of the tranche is floating based on WIBOR rate for 6-month deposits increased with a bank's margin.

On 8 January 2016, Enea SA took up the second tranche of bonds issued by Enea Operator sp. z o.o. in the amount of PLN 100 mln within the Executive bond Issue programme agreement for the amount of PLN 946 mln of 7 July 2015. The interest rate of the tranche is floating, based on WIBOR rate for 6-month deposits plus margin.

However, the nature of the process of acquiring nil-paid employee shares from the State Treasury by entitled employees and their heirs may result in some changes in the number of shares held by the State Treasury.

Employee share control system

Enea SA's Statute foresees the so called block of employee shares. All the ordinary registered shares of B series in Enea SA in the number of 41,638,955 were designated for transferring employee shares.

Pursuant to the act on commercialisation and privatisation on 16 May 2010 Enea Capital Group's employees obtained the right to acquire the Company's shares from the State Treasury free of charge. 8,818 people were authorised to the nil-paid acquisition of Enea's shares for whom 33,239,235 shares were designated.

The right to the nil-paid acquisition from the State Treasury of Enea's shares by authorised people expired on 16 May 2012. After that date agreements may be concluded only by heirs of authorised people in specific cases provided for in the aforementioned act.

Pursuant to § 6 item 3 of the Statute of Enea SA registered shares of B series belonging to the State Treasury are designated for the purposes specified in the act on commercialisation and privatisation and act on the principles of purchasing from the State Treasury of shares in the process of consolidation of energy sector companies, became bearer shares with the moment of expiry of the prohibition to sell or expiry of the right to acquire the shares free of charge.

To the Company's knowledge, the number of Enea SA's shares left for nil-paid acquisition amounted to 1,969,793 as at 31 December 2015.

In 2015 Enea SA did not launch any standard employee share programme control systems.

6. Corporate governance

The set of principles applied

Creating values for shareholders, also through the Company's transparency, is one of Enea Capital Group's priorities. Having that in mind, the Board of Enea SA represents that in 2015 the Company applied the corporate governance rules constituting an Addendum to the Resolution of the WSE Supervisory Board No. 19/1307/2012 of 21 November 2012 as amended, "Best Practices of WSE Listed Companies" (BPLC, Corporate Governance Rules), published on the Warsaw Stock Exchange website under http://corp-gov.gpw.pl. Corporate governance principles include also the section titled "Recommendations relating to best practices of listed companies" describing good practices which the Company chooses to apply voluntarily.

Best Practises of WSE Listed Companies 2016

On 13 October 2015 the Board of the Stock Exchange passed a resolution regarding the adoption of a new set of corporate governance principles under the name of "Best Practices of WSE Listed Companies 2016" The new principles came into force on 1 January 2016. The Company published a representation on the status of the application of the recommendations and principles included in this set, the content of which is available on its website under http://investors.enea.pl/file/static/15106/b/statement\on\_the\_enea\_s\_compliance\_with\_the\_corporate\_governance\_recommendations\_and\_principles\.pdf. At the same time, the Company explains that the representation on the application of the corporate governance being the element of these Statements relates to the set of principles in force in 2015, so that the documenttitled "Best Practices of WSE Listed Companies".

Principles of corporate governance the application of which was waived

Enea SA's Board's intention is to apply all the principles of the corporate governance. Due to the fact however, that some principles may pose the necessity to incur excessive burdens by the Company which could exceed potential benefits resulting from market needs, in 2015 the Company waived the application of some principles and recommendations of the corporate governance indicated below.

Participation of men and women in Enea SA's authorities

Part I. Recommendations for Best Practice for Listed Companies – item 9

"WSE recommends to public companies and their shareholders that they ensure a balanced proportion of women and men in management and supervisory functions in companies, thus reinforcing the creativity and innovation of the companies' economic business."

Comment:

The Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Company is composed of both women and men. However, an equal participation of women and men in the managing and supervisory bodies in Enea SA is not kept at the moment.

The Issuer announces that the selection and appointment of members of management and supervisory authorities of the Company is conducted on the basis of applications obtained from candidates.

The basic criteria used by the Company when employing managing and supervising people include an exact analysis of candidates' experience, their competences, skills and technical preparation of each of them. In the Company's assessment, the criteria indicated above which are in place in order to evaluate candidates for offices in management and supervisory authorities permit the selection of relevant candidates who guarantee creativity and innovativeness, as well as the development of Enea SA's operations.

Questions asked by shareholders in relation to general meetings

Part II. Best Practice for Management Boards of Listed Companies - item 1(7)

"A company should operate a corporate website and publish on it, in addition to information required by legal regulations: (...) shareholders' questions on issues on the agenda submitted before and during a General Meeting together with answers to those questions."

Comment:

The principle mentioned above is not applied by the Company at the moment and in line with the Company's intention it will not be applied also in the foreseeable future. To some extent the information concerning proceedings of General Meetings are included in notarised minutes of GM, but they do not include all pronouncements, questions or answers occurring during the proceedings of General Meetings. The Company clarifies that with regard to answering Shareholders' questions outside of General Meetings the Company abides by, above all, the mode of publication of this type of information specified in § 38 item 1(12) of the regulation of the Minister of Finance of 19 February 2009 on current and periodic information (...)

Organisation of e-general meeting of the Company

PartIV. Best Practices of Shareholders - item 10

"A company should enable its shareholders to participate in a General Meeting using electronic communication means through real-life broadcast of General Meetings, real-time bilateral communication where shareholders may take the floor during a General Meeting from a location other than the General Meeting."

read together with: Part I. Recommendations for Best Practice for Listed Companies – item 1

"A company should pursue a transparent and effective information policy using both traditional methods and modern technologies and latest communication tools ensuring fast, secure and effective access to information. Using such methods to the broadest extent possible, a company should in particular: (...) ensure adequate communication with investors and analysts, and use to this purpose also modern methods of Internet communication.

Comment:

The Company explains that in 2015 it did not transmit any General Meetings on-line, and thus a bilateral communication providing Shareholders with a possibility of speaking during meetings using the means of electronic communication.

Currently, the Company's Statute does not foresee attending the General Meeting using means of electronic communication in line with the Commercial Companies Code.

Independence of Members of the Supervisory Board

Part III. Best practices realised by members of supervisory boards - item 6

At least two members of the supervisory board should fulfil the criteria of independence from the company and from entities that have significant affiliations with the company. With regard to the independence criteria for members of the supervisory board, Annex II to the European Commission Recommendation of 15 February 2005 on the role of non-executive or supervisory directors of listed companies and on the committees of the (supervisory) board should be applied. Irrespective of the provisions of Item b) of that Annex, a person who is an employee of the company or its subsidiary or affiliate cannot be deemed to fulfil the independence criteria referred to in that Annex. Furthermore, an affiliation with a shareholder excluding the independent status of a member of the supervisory board in the meaning of this principle is understood to mean an actual and significant affiliation with a shareholder that has the right to exercise 5% or more of the total number of votes at the general meeting of shareholders.

Comment:

The Company explains that in 2015 the Supervisory Board was composed of maximally one supervising person satisfying the independence criteria. Until 1 July 2015 Jeremi Mordasewicz was an independent member of the Supervisory Board. From 2 July to 22 September the Supervisory Board's independent member was Marian Gorynia. From 21 October 2015 and as at 31 December the function of the Supervisory Board's independentmember was held by Tomasz Gołębiowski.

Decisions on a potential supplementation of the composition of the Supervisory Board with members satisfying the independence criteria are made by the Company's general meetings.

Description of the key features of the issuer's internal control and risk management systems in relation to the process of preparing consolidated financial statements

Principles and procedure of preparing financial statements are in particular regulated by the International Financial Reporting Standards, act on accounting and internal procedures functioning in Enea SA.

Establishment of systems of internal control and risk management as regards the process of preparation of consolidated financial statements aims particularly at guaranteeing the completeness and correctness of financial information included in financial statements and interim reports.

The Management Board of Enea SA is responsible for the internal control system in Enea Capital Group and its effectiveness in the process of drawing up financial statements and periodic reports. The task of an effective internal control system in financial reporting is to ensure that the financial information set out in financial statements and periodic reports is complete and correct.

Financial statements and periodic reports and monthly management and operating reporting applied by Enea SA are based on data derived from the financial and bookkeeping system of the Company. After all the predetermined processes of closing the books of account at the end of each month have been carried out, detailed management reports on financial and operational matters are drawn up. Those reports are drawn up by the Control Department, with the participation of middle and senior managers from individual organisational units. In relation to the completed reporting periods, not only financial results of the Company are subject to a detailed analysis, but also particular business areas.

The Company also carries out annual reviews of business and financial strategies and plans. Middle and senior management personnel are particularly engaged in the process of detailed planning and budgeting, which covers all the areas of Enea Capital Group's operations. The Company's Board adopts the material and financial plan prepared by the Controlling Department, and the Supervisory Board approves that plan. During the year, the Company's Board supervises the realisation of goals specified in the approved material and financial plan. The management cockpit developed by the Controlling Department constitutes a valuable source of information for the Supervisory Board on the current financial situation, environment and the level of realisation of goals in the critical areas.

The Company applies coherent accounting principles and presents financial data in financial statements, periodic financial reports and other reports disclosed to the shareholders.

Enea Capital Group regularly assesses the quality of its internal control and risk management systems with regard to the process of drawing up financial statements. On the basis of an assessment, the Management Board of Enea SA confirms that as at 31 December 2015 there were no irregularities that could significantly affect the effectiveness of internal control as it relates to financial reporting.

One of the basic elements of control in the process of drawing up financial statements of Enea SA and the Capital Group is the verification of the financial statements by an independent auditor. The tasks of the auditor include in particular: a review of the mid‐year financial statements and an audit of the non‐consolidated and consolidated annual financial statements. The independent auditor is selected by the Supervisory Board. Once the auditor has completed auditing the financial statements, they are sent to the members of the Company's Supervisory Board, which assesses the non-consolidated and consolidated financial statements with regard to their compliance with the books of account, documents and the factual status. Under the provisions of the Accountancy Act, the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board are obliged to ensure that the financial statements and the report on operations fulfil the requirements set out in that act.

The internal audit function, performed by the Control and Audit Office is an important element of the internal control system. The internal audit in Enea Capital Group is independent, and accountable to the Audit Committee acting as part of the Supervisory Board. The basic tasks of an internal audit include e.g. a review and evaluation of processes and the control mechanisms in Enea Capital Group, and monitoring of and recommendations for improvements in the risk management system and corporate governance.

Adopting a resolution by this procedure requires that a justification for the resolution be drawn up in advance and that a draft resolution be presented to all the members of the Supervisory Board together with the justification. Resolutions adopted in writing or remotely using means of direct communication are presented at the next meeting of the Supervisory Board with the outcome of the voting. Supervisory Board members may participate in adopting resolutions by casting votes in writing through another Supervisory Board Member, subject to Article 388 § 2 and 4 of the Commercial Companies Code.

Full text of the Statute and Rules of the Supervisory Board of Enea SA covering the detailed description of the operations of the Supervisory Board is published on www.enea.pl under "Investor Relations" -> "Corporate governance".

7. Corporate social responsibility and sponsorship

Enea Group realises a sponsorship strategy, building the brand recognisability and supporting the implementation of strategic goals

In 2015 Enea was an active sponsor of such events and sports projects, as:

  • Enea Challenge Poznań and Enea Tri Tour competition cycle
  • Herbalife Ironman 70.3 Gdynia
  • Polish Speedway Representation and other speedway projcts
  • Stelmet BC Zielona Góra
  • Enea AZS Poznań

is sponsorship. The Group Companies realise projects reflecting their business needs - starting from national to local ones, supporting sport, cultural and CSR activities. Core sponsorships, with the greatest reach, are centralised in Enea SA, building the brand coverage and supporting marketing activities. Sponsorship activities realised by subsidiaries support business goals. In 2015, only Enea SA realised 43 sponsorship projects in 487 cities of Poland, reaching a million of direct participants of the activities. To study sponsorship efficiency specialistindices are used, such as advertising value equivalency or dedicated quantitative and qualitative studies.

Enea Group realises promotional projects, and one of the key tools for building brand recognisability on the territory of the whole Poland

In 2015 Enea was an active sponsor of such events and cultural projects, as:

  • Enea Perfect Tour a Polish-wide concert route of Perfect band for its 35th anniversary
  • Enter Enea Festival
  • Spring Break
  • Malta Festival Poznań
  • The Grand Theatre of Poznań

CSR sponsorship and promotion measures

In 2015 Enea was an active sponsor and organiser of such CSR events and projects, as:

  • Enea Sports Academy (the project realised jointly with Enea Foundation)
  • Enea Mini Cup football cups for the youngest
  • "Energy+Sparkling Emotions" Project a project commenced in 2015 with the goal of activating the brand presence in the winter season thanks to Enea Truck and promoting events organised on Polish ice rinks

Corporate social responsibility in 2015 was concentrated on the implementation of the below actions:

2015 was announced "Enea Group's Year of Values". Common corporate values: honesty, competence, responsibility and safety were selected by employees. They are described in "Enea Capital Group's Code of Conduct".

To present practical application and everyday nature of our corporate values the unchallenged authority in the field of ethics, the originator and initiator of Szlachetna Paczka (Noble Box Project), a priest Jacek Stryczek, was invited to cooperation. The gleanings of the Christmas meeting was the message of ks. Jacek Stryczek, included in short videos which constitute a cycle of four mini lectures. The cycle is available on our websites.

In May, Enea Capital Group published a comprehensive corporate social responsibility report for 2014. It was prepared according to the latest reporting standards GRI G4. Representatives of Enea Capital Group companies participated in works over the report.

The report was for the third year in row published as an interactive website raportcsr.enea.pl/2014/en - it is the ecological form of the CSR report for 2013 which Enea Group chose consciously.

The goal of reporting corporate social responsibility is increasing the transparency of communicating non-financial data (ESG) and their economic, social and environmental results.

The programme of corporate volunteering has been operating in the Group since 2011. In 2015 the employees - volunteers realised mainly the competence volunteering based on two education programmes:

  • "Power-not so scary"
  • "First aid pre-medicalrescue".

As part of action volunteering the volunteers acted for various organisations and institutions. They were engaged in the promotion and popularisation of the corporate volunteering idea, e.g. through acting under "Volunteering President 2011" Coalition. This is the initiative which gathers business leaders around precious values.

In 2015 the corporate volunteering programme was shifted to Enea Foundation.

Volunteers participated e.g. in such projects, as a charity Poznań Business Run or Noble Box Project.

Energy Knowledge Competition "1 of 10 thousand".

In 2015 another edition of "1 of 10 thousand" competition was conducted. The competition includes the questions from within the labour law, occupational safety and hygiene, first aid, energy sector and the Group itself.

It is also an impulse to a constant shaping of the safety culture, and via its popularity it contributes to widening of the managerial knowledge on each level.

Development of children and youth, activation of the sports area and promotion of a healthy lifestyle are the key areas of Enea Foundation's operations. Since 2014 the corporate foundation has been realising the policy of corporate social responsibility of Enea Group, e.g. through:

  • support of entities conducting social utility operations is given as financial help, in-kind help, and assistance consisting in the commitment of volunteers of the Foundation in the realisation of beneficiaries' projects
  • support of Enea Group employees who found themselves in a life or health threatening situation

Enea Foundation is the only entity in the Group providing support for social purposes The Foundation operates based on funds obtained from the Group companies Support is provided transparently - potential beneficiaries apply for support using an on-line form, and applications are considered by Enea Foundation's Board and Council.

In 2015 Enea Group developed the programme of Enea Sports Academy, dedicated to children and young people from four provinces operating on the distribution area of Enea Group.

Within the programme:

  • 73 schools from the following provinces: Wielkopolskie, Lubuskie, Kujawsko-Pomorskie and Zachodniopomorskie are covered with the Academy's operations
