JUSTIFICATION OF THE DRAFT RESOLUTIONS OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF GLOBE TRADE CENTRE S.A. WITH ITS REGISTERED OFFICE IN WARSAW (THE “COMPANY”)

In view of principle 4.6 of the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021, the Company hereby presents the justification for the draft resolutions proposed to be adopted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company convened for 14 April 2026 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”).

Justification of draft resolution No. 1 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company dated 14 April 2026 regarding the election of the Chairman of the Meeting

The draft resolution relates to procedural matters of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Pursuant to Article 409 § 1 of the Commercial Companies Code, the Chairman of the General Meeting is elected from among the persons who are authorised to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Justification of draft resolution No. 2 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company dated 14 April 2026 regarding the adoption of the agenda

The draft resolution relates to procedural matters of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Extraordinary General Meeting is conducted in accordance with an adopted agenda thereof.

Justification of draft resolution No. 3 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company dated 14 April 2026 regarding the appointment of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board

The draft resolution concerns personal matters. The necessity to adopt the resolution arises from the fact that on 9 September 2025, the Management Board of the Company received a written statement from Mr. János Péter Bartha, according to which Mr. Bartha resigned from his position as a member of the Supervisory Board of the Company effective from 10 September 2025. The draft resolution provides for the appointment of Mr. Zoltan Martonyi, who currently serves as Interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, to the position of Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Justification of draft resolution No. 4 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company dated 14 April 2026 regarding the determination of the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board of the Company

The draft resolution concerns the determination of the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board of the Company. The rationale for the adoption of the resolution arises from the significant increase in the scope of duties and responsibilities of the Supervisory Board members in connection with the Company's implementation of an ambitious asset deleveraging programme. The pursuit of the above strategic objectives requires a substantially increased workload from the Supervisory Board members, including, in particular, an in-depth analysis of planned transactions, ongoing monitoring of the progress of the disinvestment process, and an increased frequency of meetings of the Supervisory Board and its Committees. Additionally, the base remuneration rates of the Supervisory Board members have remained unchanged since 2022, notwithstanding the significant double-digit rise in compound cumulative growth in the average wage in the enterprise sector over that period, which further warrants an update of the remuneration. The determination of remuneration at a level adequate to the increased scope of duties and responsibilities of the Supervisory Board members is intended to ensure effective corporate governance during a period critical for the successful achievement of the Company's strategic objectives.

Justification of draft resolution No. 5 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company dated 14 April 2026 regarding amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company and the adoption of a new consolidated text of the Articles of Association of the Company

The draft resolution provides for amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company by modifying the following provisions:

i) Article 9(6) and 9(7) of the Articles of Association of the Company;
ii) Article 10(1)(c) of the Articles of Association of the Company;
iii) Article 10(1) of the Articles of Association of the Company, by introducing a new point

(d) thereto;

iv) Article 11(5) of the Articles of Association of the Company;
v) Article 11(7) of the Articles of Association of the Company;
vi) Article 11 of the Articles of Association of the Company, by introducing a new section 8 thereto;
vii) Article 12(8) of the Articles of Association of the Company; and
viii) Article 15 of the Articles of Association of the Company, by introducing a new point (d) thereto.

The justification for the individual amendments is as follows:

The amendment to Article 9(6) and 9(7) of the Articles of Association of the Company is aimed at strengthening the position of minority shareholders in the process of determining the composition of the Supervisory Board. The introduction of the institution of the Shareholder Meeting Delegate, elected and dismissed by way of a resolution of the Meeting of the Shareholders adopted by a 2/3 (two-thirds) majority of the votes cast, ensures that the Supervisory Board will include an independent member enjoying broad shareholder support. At the same time, where a Controlling Shareholder exists, i.e. a shareholder who is, directly or indirectly, deemed a "dominating entity" in relation to the Company within the meaning of the Polish Act of 29 September 1994 on Accounting, the Shareholder Meeting Delegate may only be appointed from among candidates nominated by at least one Entitled Shareholder other than the Controlling Shareholder or any entity affiliated with the Controlling Shareholder, prior to the relevant Meeting of the Shareholders in accordance with the procedure set out in section 7. This mechanism constitutes a material safeguard for the protection of minority shareholders' interests, ensuring their effective influence over the appointment of an independent member of the Supervisory Board. The amendment to section 7 introduces a transparent procedure for nominating candidates for the Shareholder Meeting Delegate, pursuant to which the Management Board and every shareholder may, in writing, propose to the Management Board candidates for Shareholder Meeting Delegate no later than 7 (seven) days prior to the Meeting of the Shareholders at which the Shareholder Meeting Delegate is to be elected, including the requirement to provide a justification, a description of the qualifications and professional experience of the candidate, as well as the written consent to be presented as a candidate and a written representation confirming compliance with the Independence Criteria. Furthermore, in the event that both the Management Board and the shareholders fail to present any candidates satisfying the Independence Criteria in accordance with the procedure set out in section 7, the Management Board shall be required to present such a candidate for Shareholder Meeting Delegate, thereby ensuring the continuity of this mechanism.

The amendment to Article 10(1)(c) of the Articles of Association of the Company consists in lowering the monetary threshold triggering the requirement to obtain the consent of the Supervisory Board for the Company or an entity controlled by it to execute a transaction resulting in the acquisition or disposal of assets, or the creation of a liability – from EUR 30,000,000 to EUR 10,000,000. This amendment will strengthen the Supervisory Board's oversight of significant transactions of the Company by subjecting a broader range of transactions to its control. The reduction of the threshold is justified by the need to ensure an adequate level of corporate governance and to enhance transparency in the Company's key business decisions.

The introduction of a new point (d) to Article 10(1) of the Articles of Association of the Company extends the catalogue of actions requiring the prior consent of the Supervisory Board to include the entering by the Company or an entity controlled by it into professional services contracts, including, without limitation, agreements for advisory, legal, tax, financial, marketing or other services of a similar nature, where the value of a single such contract exceeds EUR 1,000,000 (one million euros). At the same time, in the case of professional services contracts entered into in direct connection with a disposal of assets, the monetary threshold triggering the requirement to obtain the consent of the Supervisory Board has been set at a higher level of EUR 1,500,000 (one million five hundred thousand euros), which takes into account the specificity of such transactions and the justified costs of professional services associated therewith. This amendment is aimed at strengthening the Supervisory Board's control over the Company's material expenditure on professional services.

The amendment to Article 11(5) of the Articles of Association of the Company narrows the scope of Supervisory Board resolutions the adoption of which requires a vote in favour thereof by the Shareholder Meeting Delegate. The previous wording of section 5 provided that the requirement of a vote in favour by the Shareholder Meeting Delegate applied to resolutions relating to granting consent for any of the actions referred to in points (a) and (b) of Article 10(1) of the Articles of Association of the Company, which encompassed, in addition to Supervisory Board resolutions relating to granting consent to the Company for entering into related-party transactions, also Supervisory Board resolutions on the determination of

remuneration (including commissions) for the members of the Management Board. The amendment excludes resolutions on the determination of remuneration (including commissions) for the members of the Management Board from the requirement of obtaining a vote in favour by the Shareholder Meeting Delegate, limiting this requirement solely to resolutions relating to granting consent for entering into related-party transactions. This amendment is warranted by the fact that the determination of remuneration for the members of the Management Board constitutes a regular competence of the Supervisory Board and its Remuneration Committee, and making the effectiveness of resolutions in this regard contingent upon a vote in favour by the Shareholder Meeting Delegate lacks substantive grounds.

The amendment to Article 11(7) of the Articles of Association of the Company is aimed at eliminating a gap in the supervisory mechanism that could arise in the event that the Shareholder Meeting Delegate has not been appointed. The previous wording of section 7 provided for the right of the Shareholder Meeting Delegate to request the Supervisory Board to perform supervisory actions as defined in the Commercial Companies Code, provided that the Shareholder Meeting Delegate shall be designated to directly perform such supervisory actions. In a situation where the Shareholder Meeting Delegate has not been appointed, such right could not be exercised by any of the Supervisory Board members, which would lead to a gap in the supervisory mechanism. The amendment eliminates the above risk by introducing a solution pursuant to which, where the Shareholder Meeting Delegate has not been appointed, such right shall be vested jointly in three Supervisory Board members, each appointed by a different Entitled Shareholder, including a Supervisory Board member appointed by the Controlling Shareholder. The requirement of participation of a Supervisory Board member appointed by the Controlling Shareholder ensures that the initiation of supervisory actions occurs in a balanced manner, taking into account the interests of all groups of shareholders.

The introduction of a new section 8 to Article 11 of the Articles of Association of the Company establishes a substitute mechanism in the event that the Shareholder Meeting Delegate has not been appointed. In cases where the provisions of the Articles of Association require a vote "in favour" by the Shareholder Meeting Delegate for the adoption of a Supervisory Board resolution, votes "in favour" by three Supervisory Board members, each appointed by a different Entitled Shareholder, including a Supervisory Board member appointed by the Controlling Shareholder, shall be required instead. This mechanism ensures the continuity of the Company's corporate governance framework and guarantees that the protection of minority shareholders' interests is not contingent solely upon the appointment of the Shareholder Meeting Delegate.

The amendment to Article 12(8) of the Articles of Association of the Company is of an adaptive nature and consists in extending the cross-reference to actions requiring the prior consent of the Supervisory Board to include the newly introduced point (d) of Article 10(1) of the Articles of Association of the Company, thereby ensuring the internal consistency of the provisions of the Articles of Association.

The introduction of a new point (d) to Article 15 of the Articles of Association of the Company is of a housekeeping nature and consists in adding the definition of the term "Controlling Shareholder", which has been assigned the meaning set forth in Article 9(6) of the Articles of Association of the Company. This amendment ensures the clarity and consistency of the terminology used in the Articles of Association of the Company.
