Pursuant to Article 11.1 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board consists of 5 (five) or 7 (seven) members. In accordance with the draft resolution to determine the number of members of the Supervisory Board of KRUK S.A. for the next term, published by the Company in Current Report No. 16/2026 of 23 April 2026, the Supervisory Board of the new term is to consist of seven members.

Accordingly, the agenda of this General Meeting will include the appointment of five out of the seven members of the Supervisory Board. On 14 May 2026, the Company received from Allianz Polska Otwarty Fundusz Emerytalny, represented by PTE Allianz Polska S.A., the nomination of Piotr Szczepiórkowski for appointment as a member of the Supervisory Board.

Accordingly, as at the date of submission of this draft resolution, the total number of nominated candidates amounts to six.
In order to ensure that shareholders have the opportunity to vote on all submitted candidacies, the proposed draft resolution provides for separate votes to be held sequentially in respect of all nominated candidates, subject to the proviso that the five candidates who receive the highest number of votes cast in favour of their appointment will be appointed to the Supervisory Board of the new term. Pursuant to Article 17.4 of the Company's Articles of Association, resolutions of the General Meeting are passed by an absolute majority of votes.
