SCHEDULE TO THE RESOLUTION OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
OPINION OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD OF GLOBE TRADE CENTRE SPÓŁKA AKCYJNA WITH ITS REGISTERED SEAT IN WARSAW.
dated 24 August 2022, as updated on 1626 September 2022
regarding the arguments in favour of excluding the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders in their entirety in relation to the proposed increase in the Company's share capital through the issuance of the Series P Shares and the procedure for the establishment of the issue price for the Series P Shares
Pursuant to Article 433 § 2 of the Commercial Companies Code dated 15 September 2000 (the "CCC"), the management board of Globe Trade Centre S.A., with its registered office in Warsaw (the "Company"), approved this opinion on 24 August 2022 in relation to the resolution proposed by the extraordinary general meeting of the Company regarding the increase of the Company's share capital through the issuance of ordinary series P bearer shares in the Company (the "Series P Shares"), the exclusion of all of the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders to all of the Series P Shares, the amendment to the Company's Statute, the application for the admission and introduction of the Series P Shares and/or rights to the Series P Shares to trading on the regulated market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the dematerialisation of the Series P Shares and/or the rights to the Series P Shares.
1. The exclusion of the pre-emptive rights with respect to the Series P Shares
The purpose of the increase of the Company's share capital through the issuance of the Series P Shares is to enable the Company to achieve its planned strategic objectives and facilitate the further development of the Company's operations. The proceeds from the issuance of the Series P Shares are intended to be used to strengthen the Company's financial position and the LtV ratio in line with the medium-term target whilst enabling the Company to execute its acquisition and development pipeline. In the opinion of the Company's management board, in view of the reasons stated below, the exclusion of the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders of the Company to all of the Series P Shares in their entirety is justified and in the interest of the Company, and the issuance of shares by way of an open subscription in reliance on the framework of an EU Recovery prospectus is a fast and convenient way of raising capital.
The exclusion of the pre-emptive rights of the Company's existing shareholders will potentially allow the Company to broaden its shareholder base through an offering to new and existing investors in the territory of Poland as well as internationally.
If the pre-emptive rights were to be retained, the issuance would need to be conducted in accordance with the requirements set out in the Polish Commercial Companies Code and the Polish Act on Public Offering, Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organised Trading, and on Public Companies dated 29 July 2005, which would include giving sufficient time to the shareholders to exercise their pre-emptive rights. Moreover, it would restrict the Management Board's flexibility in respect of the timing of the offering.
In light of the above, the Company's Management Board declares that the issuance of the Series P Shares subject to the exclusion of the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders of the Company in their entirety is in the Company's interest. Consequently, the Company's Management Board recommends the issuance of the Series P Shares subject to the exclusion of the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders of the Company in their entirety.
Moreover, the draft resolution on the increase of the share capital and the issue of the Series P Shares provides for a mechanism preventing the dilution of certain investors participating in the book-building that hold more than 0.3% of the shares in the share capital of the Company as at the close of business on 4 September 2022, i.e. the record date of the extraordinary general shareholders' meeting at which the resolution on the share capital increase is to be adopted ("Reference Day"), because it provides that such shareholders will have a priority right over the remaining investors to be allocated such number of the Series P Shares that will enable such investors, after the issue of the Series P Shares, to maintain their shareholding in the share capital of the Company at a level not lower than the level held thereby from the close of business on the Reference Day. The opportunity to exercise the priority to subscribe for the Series P Shares will depend on the fulfillment of the criteria referred to in the resolution on the increase of the share capital and the issue of the Series P Shares.
2. The procedure for the establishment of the issue price for the Series P Shares
The issue price for the Series P Shares will be established by the Company's Management Board (in conjunction with the financial institutions involved in the offering of the Series P Shares) first and foremost on the basis of the listing price of the Company's shares on the regulated market maintained by the Warsaw Stock Exchange during a period of time preceding the date of the determination of such issue price, subject to the outcome of the book-building process among Polish and foreign investors, as well as subject to all of the circumstances that impact the establishment of the issue price, including the economic conditions on the capital markets at the time of the book-building process for the Series P Shares, the financial standing of the Company at the time of the offering, current events and the Company's growth prospects.
The issue price of the Series P Shares will be established by the Company's Management Board with a view of maximising the proceeds from the issue of the Series P Shares; the issue price of the Series P Shares shall not be lower than the arithmetic average of daily volume-weighted average prices of the shares in the Company on the regulated market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange (Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A.) in the ten session days preceding the date of the determination of the issue price for the Series P Shares, decreased by a discount (if any), such discount to be approved by the supervisory board of the Company and not to exceed 10%.
In light of the volatility of the capital markets and the time separating the date of the adoption of the resolution by the extraordinary general meeting and the date of the establishment of the issue price of the Series P Shares, the authorisation of the Company's Management Board in this respect is justified and is in the Company's interest.
3. Conclusions
In light of the arguments presented above, the Management Board of the Company recommends that the extraordinary general meeting adopts Resolution No. 3.
