§ 3 Duration and terms of termination of legal relationships between the Company and the members of the Management Board

- 1. Members of the Management Board are entitled to base monthly remuneration that may be paid on the basis of a corporate resolution, employment contract or management contract, depending on the particular individual.
- 2. The amount of the fixed monthly remuneration may differ between individual members of the Management Board due to their functions and individual arrangements made between the given members of the Management Board and the Company.
Variable components of remuneration
3. Members of the Management Board may receive variable components of remuneration in the form of an annual performance bonus based on goals or objective results and other forms of bonuses at the discretion of the Supervisory Board (the "Variable Remuneration").
The Variable Remuneration is designed to be motivational and to reward members of the Management Board for fulfilling their roles, discharging their responsibilities and for delivering superior results. The Variable Remuneration targets and the related payouts shall reflect a range of expected levels of performance.
Members of the Management Board may be entitled to the annual performance bonus in the case of the achievement of the minimum level of the set targets in a given financial year. The annual performance bonus should amount to a particular percentage or part of the maximum bonus amount, as specified in the contract with a particular member of the Management Board, depending on the level of achievement of the set targets.
The Variable Remuneration awarded to members of the Management Board is determined by the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board determines the amount of the Variable Remuneration based on an assessment of the performance of a particular member of the Management Board, taking into account factors such as: (i) the period of serving on the Management Board; (ii) the quality of work and scale of contribution to the implementation of the strategy of the Company and the Group; (iii) the evaluation of actions taken in significant areas of the operations of the Company and the Group; and (iv) the recognition of social interests, the Company's contribution to environmental protection and actions taken in order to prevent the negative effects of the Company's social activity and the removal of such.
The annual performance bonus is paid after the approval of the annual financial statements by the Supervisory Board of the Company.
- 4. As part of the authorisation referred to in Article XI of this Remuneration Policy, the Supervisory Board may determine the detailed circumstances pursuant to which a member of the Management Board will be entitled to an additional cash benefit.
- 5. There are no specific rules relating to the periods of deferral of payments or the possibility of demanding the return of the Variable Remuneration set in the Company.
- 6. The Variable Remuneration are dependent on meeting specific objectives and achievements, which may differ between members of the Management Board. Such components may be granted and paid only if they do not affect the stability of the Company or threaten the continuity or stability of the Company's operations.
- 7. The return of the Variable Remuneration unduly paid to a member of the Management Board is subject to the rules set out in generally applicable laws.
Proportion of fixed and variable remuneration
8. The Company determines the remuneration system so that the total share of the variable remuneration is between 30% (thirty per cent) and 300% (three hundred per cent) of the annual fixed remuneration for a particular member of the Management Board. The value of the Phantom Share Programme is not taken into account in the calculation of the above proportion between the fixed and variable parts of the remuneration.
§ 5 Phantom Share Programme
- 1. Members of the Management Board may receive also Phantom Shares or other incentive programmes either based on the Company's shares or movement of prices of these shares as established in the future by the General Shareholders' Meeting or the Supervisory Board.
- 2. Members of the Management Board can be motivated by the opportunity to participate in the Phantom Shares Program, under which a member of the Management Board has entitlement to the specified total number of Phantom Shares.
- 3. The Phantom Shares vesting period lasts three years and coincides with the period of legal relationship between the Company and a particular member of the Management Board. The Phantom Shares shall be vested in three tranches, in such a way that once a year, a member of the Management Board is entitled to a particular number of Phantom Shares.
- 4. The Management Board members are entitled to exercise their rights under the vested Phantom Shares within the period specified in the contract of a particular member of the Management Board. If the Management Board member ceases to perform his or her function, such member shall be entitled to exercise all vested Phantom Shares within 30 days from the cessation.
- 5. Pursuant to the Phantom Shares Programme part of the remuneration for members of the Management Board may be provided by granting them payment rights based on the trading quotation of shares of the Company on the WSE.
- 6. The Phantom Shares grant to the entitled members of the Management Board a right for a cash settlement from the Company or other Group entity in the amount equal to the difference between the average closing price for the Company's shares on the WSE during the 30-day period prior to the date of delivery to the Company of the exercise notice, and settlement price ("strike price") per share (adjustable for dividend).
- 7. Phantom Shares are only a means of calculating the future variable component of remuneration, which depends on the future market price of shares of the Company on the WSE. The Phantom Shares are not financial instruments convertible or exchangeable into shares in the Company, in particular, they are not options on such shares. The Phantom Shares are not transferable.
- 8. Granting Phantom Shares to members of the Management Board and setting their condition is reviewed and approved by the Remuneration Committee and the Supervisory Board.
- 9. Besides the Phantom Shares, members of the Management Board may be also granted with other types of incentive programmes which may either grant rights to acquire new or purchase existing shares of the Company or be based on movement of prices of the Company's shares, which may be adopted in the Company from time to time. Relevant provisions relating to such other incentive programmes, such as vesting periods, principles of transferring such shares or rules of exercising rights to receive remuneration under such programmes shall be regulated by the General Shareholders' Meeting or the Supervisory Board and further detailed in the agreement to be concluded between the Company and member of the Management Board participating in such other incentive programme.
- 10. The amount of payments based on the Phantom Shares is strictly dependent on the Share price movement, and thus it is dependent on the achievement of the objectives set out in this Remuneration Policy.
- 11. The establishment of the link between the Management Board member's remuneration and the increase in the Company's Shares prices aligns his or her personal interest with the interests of shareholders. Implementation of the Company's strategy and commitment to long - term interests should have positive impact on the Share prices which in turn should translate to higher remuneration of Management Board members. In addition, it also leads to the increase in motivation of Management Board members and retaining them in the Company and as such it contributes to the stability of the Company.

Such compensation shall be paid in monthly instalments during the term of the non-compete obligation.
