These Subscription Rules are for information purposes only, and the Company only makes them available to provide the most relevant information on the terms and conditions of subscription for the Offer Shares, and actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the subscription for the Offer Shares. These Subscription Rules are not intended in any way, directly or indirectly, to promote subscription for the Offer Shares and they do not constitute promotional materials prepared or published by the Company to promote the Offer Shares or to encourage, directly or indirectly, their subscription or acquisition. The Company has not published and does not intend to publish after the date of these Subscription Rules, any materials intended to promote the Offer Shares or their subscription. The presentation published by the Company on the date of these Subscription Rules shall not be considered as a material intended to promote the Offer Shares or their subscription. These Subscription Rules do not constitute a prospectus, information memorandum, or other information or offering document required by law in connection with a public offering of securities. These Subscription Rules are not subject to approval by the Polish Financial Supervisory Authority or any other public administration body.
These Subscription Rules were published on 22 August 2023 and set out the subscription rules for the Offer Shares to Qualified Investors (as defined below), to be carried out by way of a public offering within the meaning of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Regulation"), exempted from the obligation to publish a prospectus within the meaning of the relevant regulations pursuant to Article 1(4)(a) of the Prospectus Regulation, and from the obligation to publish any other information or offering document for the purposes of such offering, or pursuant to an exemption from the obligation to complete a registration process in another jurisdiction.

The securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act. No public offering of the securities will be made in the U.S. The offering is not addressed to Russian or Belarusian nationals or natural persons residing in Russia or Belarus or to any legal entity or another organisational unit resident in Russia or Belarus or other entities subject to offering restrictions under national and EU laws.
Shareholders interested in subscribing the Offer Shares should make their own detailed study of the contents of the Subscription Rules and the publicly available information concerning the Company, and carefully analyze and evaluate such information, and their decision to subscribe

for the Offer Shares should be based on such analysis as they themselves consider appropriate.
The Subscription Rules do not constitute a recommendation or investment advice or any other recommendation, legal or tax advice or an indication that any investment or strategy is appropriate in the individual circumstances of any person or entity that intends to subscribe for the Offer Shares. Shareholders to which the offering of the Offer Shares is addressed should take advice from their investment, legal or tax advisers on any matter relating to the offering of the Offer Shares and the Subscription Rules. Shareholders subscribing for the Offer Shares shall bear all legal, financial and tax consequences of their investment decisions.
Given the obligation to apply restrictive measures imposed by Council Regulation (EU) 2022/328 of 25 February 2022 amending Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia's actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine and Council Regulation (EU) 2022/398 of 9 March 2022 amending Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus and the involvement of Belarus in the Russian aggression against Ukraine, as of 13 April 2022, the Company is prohibited from offering its shares to:
- Russian nationals or natural persons residing in Russia, or legal persons, entities, or bodies established in Russia, and
- Belarusian nationals or natural persons residing in Belarus, or legal persons, entities, or bodies established in Belarus,
provided that these restrictions do not apply to nationals of a Member State or natural persons holding a temporary or permanent residence permit in a Member State.
The Company does not intend to seek the admission of the Offer Shares to trading on any stock exchange, considering that the Company is currently in the process of being delisted from the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Specifically, as a part of that process, the Company applied to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority for the approval of the withdrawal of shares from trading on the regulated market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange S.A. As of the date of the adoption of these resolutions, the application is still pending. The Company also announced the intention to convert all existing shares into the registered form once the delisting is completed. Given that, if the offering of the Offer Shares (the "Offering") is successfully completed, the Offer Shares will be issued in the registered form and the share register will be kept in the registered office of the Company in Luxembourg.

The Offering is conducted on the basis of:

Prospective investors shall provide contact details including e-mail and phone number. A template of the Declaration and Subscription Form is specified in Appendix 1 to these Subscription Rules. Each investor may submit more than one Declaration and Subscription Form. The Company shall maintain such Declaration and Subscription Forms confidential.
In case Eligible Investors have any enquiries regarding the Required Documents, they can contact the Company via email [email protected].
The Company shall confirm to the Eligible Investor by e-mail stated in the Declaration and Subscription Form the receipt of the Required Documents and their compliance with Subscription Rules to all Eligible Investors who validly submitted such documents as determined by the Company in its discretion. Together with that, the Company will communicate the bank account details for making a Security Deposit, as defined below. Please note that Eligible Investors failing to provide the Confirmation Documents prior to Submission Deadline will not be admitted to the Book Building process.
The Eligible Investors which wish to participate in the Book Building shall credit the Company's bank account with the Consideration (the "Security Deposit") by 6:00 pm CET on 31 August 2023 (the "Cut-off Date"). The moment when the Company's account is credited with the entire amount of the Consideration will be deemed as the moment of payment. Payments of the Security Deposit should be made in a manner acceptable to the Company. Please note that the payment will be duly made if paid in full and credited to the Company's account by the Cut-off Date in full without any deductions. This means that an investor (especially if the payment is made by money order or wire transfer, or using bank loans) must make the payment well in advance, taking into account the time for making the transfer, processing the loan, and performing other similar operations. It is recommended that the investor inquire about the duration of certain activities at the financial institution they use and take the appropriate actions, taking into account the timing of their completion.

Investors making an incomplete payment of the Security Deposit or full payment of the Security Deposit after the Cut-off Date will not be admitted to the Book Building process and any cash credited to the Company bank account would be paid back to such investors (less any banking fees and charges).
Only those Eligible Investors who submitted Required Documents prior Submission Deadline and made Security Deposits in the amount equal to the amount of Consideration and prior Cut-off Date (the "Bidders") will be allowed to participate in the Book Building.
Book Building
The Offering will be based on the results of the Book Building. The Book Building for the Offer Shares will be carried out on 01 September 2023 according to the Dutch auction rules described below.
Based on the Declaration and Subscription Forms submitted by Bidders, on 01 September 2023, the Company will determine the Issue Price and the total number of Offer Shares to be subscribed by Bidders, together with the list of Bidders (the "Allocation List") to which Offer Shares will be allotted (the "New Shareholders"). Such process will consist of the following steps:
-
- Price Determination: the Company, as the auctioneer, compiles all the Declaration and Subscription Forms to determine the highest price Bidders are willing to pay. This highest price sets the starting point for the price determination process.
-
- Price Decrement: As the auctioneer, the Company starts with the highest price declared by Bidders and decreases the price incrementally over time until it reaches a point where the total value of declared interest matches the Company's Fundraising Target (USD 60 million). If the total value of declared interest is less than the Fundraising Target but higher or equal to the Minimum Proceeds, the Company uses such value for the price decrement mechanism described above. If the total value of declared interest is less than the Minimum Proceeds, the Board of Directors of the Company might decide to cancel the Offering in its sole discretion with Security Deposits returned to the relevant Bidders.
-
- Issue Price: The final price within the decrementing range at which the total value of declared interest matches the Company's Fundraising Target is the Issue Price. All successful Bidders (those with Declared Price being higher or equal to the Issue Price) will purchase the shares at this Issue Price, regardless of the Declared Price.
-
- Proportional Allocation for Bidders having Declared Price higher than the Issue Price: Once the Issue Price is determined, the Company calculates the number of shares each successful Bidder will receive based on their Consideration. The number of shares allocated for each such Bidder will be calculated as the Consideration divided over the Issue price and rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such Bidders eventually might receive more shares than the Number of Shares indicated in the Declaration and Subscription Forms but under no circumstances for the amount exceeding Consideration.
-
- Pro-Rata Allocation for Bidders having Declared Price equal to the Issue Price: The Company will first allocate shares to all Bidders based on the proportional allocation from step 4. After that, any remaining shares (considering the restriction to the total number of shares to be issued) will be allocated among those Bidders who indicated the Declared Price equal to the Issue Price, distributing the shares pro-rata based on their original declared interest. Any fractional shares resulting from the prorata allocation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
-
- The maximum total proceeds to be raised by the Company during the Offering shall not exceed the Fundraising Target. The Board of Directors has the right to cancel the offering at its sole discretion if a threshold of USD 50 million of funds raised is not reached.

The New Shareholders will be selected for the purposes of the Allocation List from among the Bidders in accordance with the rules described above.
The Company will allocate the Offer Shares to the New Shareholders on or about 04 September 2023. There will be no allocation of Offer Shares to those Bidders whose Declared Price is lower than the Issue Price and Security Deposits will be repaid to such unsuccessful Bidders thereafter.
On or about 06 September 2023, each New Shareholder will receive a certificate of inscription confirming the number of shares issued to such New Shareholder registered in the share register of the Company.
