After having read the certified auditor's Audit Report drawn up by PricewaterhouseCoopers Polska Sp. z o.o. Audyt Sp.k., and having thoroughly examined the above documents, the Supervisory Board concludes that the Standalone Financial Statements of ENEA S.A. for the financial year ended 31 December 2019, the Management Board Report on the Activity of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group in 2019 and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the ENEA Group the financial year ended 31 December 2019 are in conformity with the books of account and accounting records and documents of the Company and the facts and therefore it hereby issues a positive assessment of the Reports and recommends that the Ordinary General Meeting of ENEA S.A. should examine and approve them.

The Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. issued a positive opinion on the Management Board's motion on distribution of the ENEA S.A.'s net profit of the reporting period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 283,331 (two hundred eighty three million three hundred thirty one thousand Polish zloty) as follows:

  • allocate 100% of the net profit for the reporting period, i.e. PLN 283,331 (two hundred eighty three million three hundred thirty one thousand Polish zloty) to increase the reserve capital, designated for investment financing.

8. Evaluation of the Company's standing and evaluation of the internal control system and the risk management, compliance system and internal audit functions.

In 2019 ENEA S.A. generated a positive net result of PLN 283,331 thousand and was PLN 443,805 thousand lower than the result achieved last year. This difference was affected primarily by changes in impairment losses recognized on the value of shares and financial assets at amortized cost (year-on-year difference of PLN 560,254 thousand) associated mainly with the impairment loss on the value of shares of Elektrownia Ostrołęka.

The Company's 2019 operating result (loss) was PLN -113,831 thousand. The operating loss decreased as compared to the previous year by PLN 30,746 thousand. Also in 2019, ENEA S.A. received PLN 136,214 thousand more dividend income from its subsidiaries.

In 2019, the Company's return on sales (ROS) was 5.0% (15.5% in 2018) and return on equity was 2.1% (5.5% in 2018).

In 2019, total sales of electricity to retail end users was 19.3 TWh and was 5.9% lower than total sales in the previous year. As at 31 December 2019, the number of end users was about 2.5 million and remained relatively flat when compared to the previous years.

In accordance with the "Corporate Governance Principles for Supervised Institutions"1 and "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016"2 , ENEA S.A. carried out the annual review of internal control, risk management and compliance systems and the internal audit function. The goal was to verify adequacy and effectiveness of these systems and internal audit functions implemented at the Company level. The review was carried out based on the key elements of the internal control system defined in the COSO I model.

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the actions undertaken in 2019 in ENEA S.A. contributed to the strengthening of the internal control, risk management and compliance systems and the internal audit function.

In the area of internal control environment, the activities worth mentioning include: continuation of efforts to adapt the anti-corruption system constituting part of the Company's compliance system.

In 2019, ENEA S.A. undertaken a number of tasks designed to adapt the anti-corruption system to the WSE Standards (" Recommended standards for the compliance management system on counteracting corruption and the whistleblower protection system in companies listed on markets organized by the Warsaw Stock Exchange"). According to plans, the work on the last task, enabling complementary adaptation of the anticorruption system in the Company, should be completed by the end of 2021.

A Compliance Officer function has been assigned in the "Rules and Regulations of ENEA S.A. Organizational Units", which meets the requirements of the WSE Standards with respect to establishment of the compliance management function in the Company.

A positive opinion has been given on the activities aimed at spreading knowledge on the anti-corruption area among employees, e.g. through e-learning courses, updating the content of tabs on corruption prevention issues in the ENEA Group Intranet and development of the brochure entitled "ENEA Group Code of Ethics".

In order to ensure improvements of the above system, further work is needed to implement the Detailed implementation schedule for anti-corruption WSE Standards and the Rules of monitoring of the above document.

In the enterprise risk management area, the Supervisory board has given a positive opinion about the fact that in 2019 the process was carried out in accordance with the assumptions of the dedicated Policy and Methodology, including:

  • the risks have been monitored on an ongoing basis in respect to the occurrence of operating events and the assessment of the risks has been updated regularly.
  • The Risk Manager reported on enterprise risks to the Company's Management Board and to the ENEA Group Risk Committee, which facilitated management decisions, in particular with respect to key risks.

In this area, we should also note the changes in the organization of the enterprise risk management process, which were designed and formally implemented in the Policy and Methodology in 2019, they included in particular:

  • update of the enterprise risk valuation methodology;
  • introduction of principles for managing risks shared between ENEA S.A.'s organizational units and between ENEA Group companies,
  • allocation of the Risk Owner roles directly to senior managers (reporting directly to the Company's Management Board).

2 Published by the Warsaw Stock Exchange – Chapter III Internal systems and functions.

Moreover, the vendor assessment process has been prepared for ENEA S.A. and formalized through adoption of the document entitled Contractor Review Procedure in the ENEA Group by the Risk Committee. According to the assumptions, activities carried out under this procedure include a review process for vendors of goods and services to ENEA S.A. These activities will contribute to the mitigation of the risk of corruption and abuse in ENEA S.A. in relations with suppliers of goods and services.

The operational implementation of these changes in 2020 will have a positive impact on the enterprise risk management process.

At the same time, it is important to continue the work on improvements in the communication process, in particular as regards the transmission of information on specific risks in order to use it for identifying and assessing enterprise risks.

With respect to control mechanisms, we should note that, in June 2019, the Procurement Unit responsible for the monitoring of the ENEA S.A. Procurement Plan introduced the principles of monitoring the overrun Procurement Plan items and additionally runs an ongoing monitoring of overruns of individual procurement categories.

The work on monitoring the Procurement Plan items is important in order to mitigate risks related to overruns of statutory limits in individual procurement categories, which could trigger the obligation to apply the Public Procurement Act.

Effective monitoring of this kind would require the strengthening of efforts to mobilize the relevant units to take immediate corrective measures whenever a Procurement Plan item is overrun.

In the information and communication area, we should note that the non-financial reporting process, including reporting on environmental (climate) issues in 2019, is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Act.

In recent years, the issues associated with prevention of climate threats have become increasingly important and have contributed to increasing requirements for stock market companies in this respect. For example, in 2019, the European Commission issued detailed guidelines specifying the type of information that is recommended for disclosure regarding climate protection measures planned and undertaken. The European Commission guidelines are not currently mandatory, but they are being implemented in recommendations of supervisory authorities and included in activities of internal stakeholders.

The continuation of work performed in the Company in relation to environmental protection, including the planning of goals and activities in the long term, will allow the Company to adapt its climate disclosures to international guidelines.

In the monitoring and supervision area, it is worth noting that the companies reporting and preparing their financial statements under IAS/IFTS are obligated to apply the International Financial Reporting Standard 16 "Leases" (hereinafter: IFRS 16).

In connection with the above, the Supervisory Board paid special attention to the designed and implemented control mechanisms that enable identification of lease, rental and leasing contracts as important for the application of IFRS 16, both at the contract signing stage and after the contract signing stage.

For the avoidance of the possible irregularities in the process of identifying and accounting for lease contracts, the activities should be continued to strengthen control mechanisms to recognize all the contracts that are of importance for the IFRS 16 standard and to register new contracts in IT systems on a timely basis.

The Supervisory Board believes that an important element of the internal control system in the Company in the monitoring and supervision area is also the function performed by:

  • The Audit Committee;
  • Internal Audit.

In 2019 the Audit Committee implemented in particular the following tasks:

  1. monitored the financial reporting process,

    1. monitored effectiveness of the internal control, risk management and compliance systems and the internal audit function,
    1. held meetings with the certified auditor and monitored the certified auditor's independence,
    1. monitored reliability of the financial information presented by the Company, in particular by reviewing consistency of the accounting policies applied in the Group and its conformity to the International Financial Reporting Standards,
    1. notified the Supervisory Board of the results of the audit of financial statements of ENEA S.A. and the ENEA Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2019, explaining how the audit contributed to the reliability of financial reporting in the Company and the role of the Audit Committee in the auditing process,
    1. participated in the process of developing the Annual Audit and Internal Control Plan by issuing opinions on it and submitting it to the Supervisory Board for approval,
    1. issued opinions on and submitted the annual budget of the internal audit unit to the Supervisory Board for approval,
    1. held regular meetings with the internal auditor, during which it discussed decisions, including recommendations and suggestions, made by the internal audit function, and monitored the response of the Company's Management Board to the above.

In 2019, the internal audit function:

    1. functionally reported to the Audit Committee, formally to the President of the Management Board, reporting audit and internal control results concurrently to the Audit Committee and the Management Board – the above ensured independence of the internal audit function,
    1. contributed to the improvement of operational activities of ENEA Group Companies, including ENEA S.A., by:
    2. performance of audit and inspection tasks and ad hoc advisory activities;
    3. monitoring the status and effectiveness of implementation of post-audit / post-inspection recommendations.

The above tasks were performed within the ENEA Group Audit Management Division, which encompassed auditors and internal control inspectors at ENEA S.A., ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. and ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o.,

  1. coordinated the course of three external inspections in ENEA S.A. conducted by the Supreme Audit Office.

2019 was the second year of operation of the Audit Department at ENEA S.A., which was established following the transformation of the Control and Audit Office. The activities of the offices separated within the Audit Department (i.e. the Audit Office, the Control Office and the Internal Control System Support Office) were conducted concurrently and were complementary, which supported the effectiveness of the internal control, risk management and compliance systems in the organization.

The activities planned for 2020 include knowledge and skills transfer (through e-learning courses) and monitoring of compliance with economic transparency and openness standards.

The Compliance area is responsible for ensuring compliance of activities carried out by the ENEA Group with the applicable standards set forth in the provisions of law and internal regulations as well as ethical norms.

In 2019, the main challenge for the organizational unit responsible for the development and maintenance of the Compliance system in the Company was to fulfill the obligations resulting from the accepted schedule to adapt the ENEA Group's existing anti-corruption system to the Recommended standards for the compliance management system on counteracting corruption and the whistleblower protection system in companies listed on markets organized by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, which were adopted on 8 October 2018 by the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The Standards were addressed to companies listed on markets organized by the WSE and recommend implementation of standardized internal anti-corruption solutions in more than ten areas, including, among others: adoption of an anti-corruption code, implementation of a whistleblowing system or establishment of a Compliance Officer function in companies.

Having the above in mind, on 26 June 2019, the ENEA Group Risk Committee approved the schedule of activities designed to adapt the ENEA Group's current anti-corruption system to the Recommended standards for the compliance management system on counteracting corruption and the whistleblower protection system in companies listed on markets organized by the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE Standards) and approved the rules of monitoring the above schedule. Implementation of the WSE Standards in the anti-corruption area became the main challenge of the unit responsible for the Company's Compliance area in 2019.

The implementation of the WSE Standards was achieved in particular through:

  • − development of the definition of corruption to be added to the ENEA Group Compliance Policy and in the Rules of Offering and Receiving Gifts in the ENEA Group,
  • − introduction of anti-corruption clauses to individual internal acts of the company (e.g. to the Work Rules and Regulations, Rules and regulations for execution and performance of agreements in ENEA S.A.),
  • − commencement of work on a procedure to regulate the reporting of violations and protection of whistleblowers in the ENEA Group,
  • − development of a form facilitation the reporting of violations, to be placed on the Company's website,
  • − development of the ENEA S.A. contractor review procedure (PWK) and imposing an obligation on contractors to sign the representation constituting Attachment 2 (Contractor Review Questionnaire) to the regulation, whereby the contractors undertake to observe its provisions,
  • − building awareness of compliance, developing new training materials and conducting e-learning courses and on-site workshops on corruption and its prevention, preparation of training material on the employee conduct in case of inspections by law enforcement agencies,
  • − monitoring of legal environment to detect legal acts that may have a significant impact on the operation of the compliance system in the Company,
  • − identification of potential compliance risks in the ENEA Group and responses to corruption events.

Concurrently in 2019 ENEA S.A. strengthened the structure of its existing compliance system encompassing the entire ENEA Group; this will allow for quicker identification of potential compliance risks and detection of potential violations, including improvement of existing standards in the ENEA Group.

The ENEA S.A. Organization and Compliance Unit operating in the above structure within the Legal and Organizational Department carried out numerous activities to increase efficiency of the compliance system in ENEA Group companies, while placing emphasis on the ethical side of organizational culture. These activities were conducted together with the persons dedicated to the compliance area in individual ENEA Group companies, which additionally facilitated competence-building and exchange of experiences on the functioning of the system.

The Supervisory Board has recognized the process of adjusting internal regulations and general group regulations to the evolving law and market standards conducted at ENEA S.A. as effective. The Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. has also given a positive opinion on the activities undertaken to implement the WSE Standards recommended for the compliance management system on counteracting corruption and the whistleblower protection system in companies listed on markets organized by the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

In the opinion of the ENEA S.A. Supervisory Board, the system of propagating anti-corruption knowledge among employees, among others through e-learning courses and by posting anti-corruption content in the ENEA Group's Intranet has been operating correctly.

The Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. believes that the current compliance risk management system implemented by the ENEA S.A. Organization and Compliance Unit addresses both internal and external expectations, while constituting an important element of responsible governance. ENEA S.A. has shown due care for transparency and clarity of its activities, functioning in compliance with the law and promoting positive ethical standards.

9. Assessment of the fulfillment by the Company of the disclosure requirements concerning the application of corporate governance principles specified in the Stock Exchange Rules and Regulations pertaining to current and periodic information provided by securities issuers.

Considering the requirement set forth in Rule II.Z.10.3 of the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016", under which, in addition to activities resulting from the provisions of law, once a year the supervisory board should prepare and submit to the general meeting of shareholders an assessment of the company's compliance with the disclosure obligations concerning compliance with the corporate governance principles defined in the Exchange Rules and the regulations on current and periodic reports published by issuers of securities, in 2019 and in 2020 (by the date of approving this report) the Supervisory Board analyzed the performance of the following obligations by ENEA S.A.:

  • − disclosure requirements to publish, in the Electronic Information Database, current reports concerning incidental violations of or resignation from application of individual corporate governance principles,
  • − disclosure requirements to publish, in the annual Management Board Activity reports, a representation on the application of corporate governance principles,
  • − disclosure requirements to publish specific information on ENEA S.A.'s corporate website.

The above analysis covered, among others, the following documents, information and circumstances:

  • − Current Report No. 1/2016 of 2 March 2016 on the scope of application of the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016",
  • − Current Report No. 1/2019 of 26 February 2019 on the scope of application of the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016",
  • − annual reports for 2018 published in 2019, which included, in the Management Board Report, a representation of the ENEA S.A. Management Board on the application of corporate governance principles as laid down in the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016",
  • − annual reports for 2019, which included, in the Management Board Report, a representation of the ENEA S.A. Management Board on the application of corporate governance principles as laid down in the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016",
  • − corporate governance information published on ENEA S.A.'s corporate website,
  • − the actual status of application of the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies" in ENEA S.A.

Having read the above documents and information, the Supervisory Board concluded that in 2019 there had been no events affecting the scope of application of the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016" previously communicated by the Company. However, following the amendments made to individual corporate documents in effect at ENEA S.A., such as the Company's Articles of Association or Rules and Regulations of the ENEA S.A. Supervisory Board, some of the Company's explanations of the reasons for departing from some of the corporate governance principles laid down in the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016" required an update. The Company made the necessary updates by publishing the relevant information in the representation of the ENEA S.A. Management Board on the application of corporate governance principles contained in the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016" published as part of its annual reports, and also by publishing Current Report No. 1/2019 in the Electronic Information Database.

Please note that, according the October 2019 amendment to the Act on public offering and terms of introducing financial instruments into organized trading system and on public companies introduced, a general meeting of a company, at least one share of which is admitted into trading on a regulated market, should adopt a resolution introducing a compensation policy for members of its management and supervisory boards. The general meeting of the company should adopt a resolution on the compensation policy for members of its management and supervisory boards by 30 June 2020. Accordingly, the Company took the necessary steps, which will affect the scope of application of the "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016" in the compensation area in such a way that Recommendation VI.R.1, i.e. "The remuneration of members of the company's governing bodies and key managers should follow the approved remuneration policy" will be applied by ENEA S.A.

Accordingly, in 2019 the Company observed all the recommendations and detailed principles, except for those listed below:

• recommendations IV.R.2., VI.R.1., VI.R.2., VI.R.3., detailed principles II.Z.3., II.Z.5, II.Z.7, II.Z.8, IV.Z.2., V.Z.5 of the collection of "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016" in effect as of 1 January 2016.

Following the analysis, the Supervisory Board has concluded that information provided in fulfillment of disclosure requirements related to the application of corporate governance principles correspond to the actual status of application of the Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016 in ENEA S.A.

In view of the foregoing, the Supervisory Board of ENEA S.A. has issued a positive opinion on the fulfillment by the Company of the disclosure requirements concerning the application of corporate governance principles specified in the Stock Exchange Rules and Regulations pertaining to current and periodic information provided by securities issuers. The Supervisory Board shares the Company's opinion that in line with the adequacy principle, at present it is no longer justified to follow some of the recommendations and detailed rules included in the Best Practice which the Company renounced.

10. Assessment of rationality of the company's sponsorship and charitable activities.

The Supervisory Board has been monitoring the sponsorship activities pursuant to the "Rules for conducting sponsorship activities in the ENEA Group" in effect in the Company (3rd edition, in effect since 12 September 2017), and pursuant to the "Best Practices for conducting sponsorship activities in State Treasury-owned companies" published on 15 June 2016. The Supervisory Board thus approves the plans for annual sponsorship activities and issues opinions on reports of such activities.

In 2020, a secondary regulation entitled the "ENEA Group Communication Policy" was adopted, which supplements the internal regulations in line with the "Recommended standards for the compliance management system on counteracting corruption and the whistleblower protection system in companies listed on markets organized by the Warsaw Stock Exchange" in the sponsorship area.

With respect to the charitable activity, the Supervisory Board receives regular reports on the operation of the ENEA Foundation and also approves the donations made to the ENEA Foundation by ENEA S.A.

The Supervisory Board believes that the sponsorship and charitable activity serves the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

11. Comments of the Supervisory Board concerning cooperation with the Management Board.
