Article 3
Divestment of the Pre-emptive Right and Amendment of By-laws
- In the interests of the Company the existing shareholders shall be divested in whole of the preemptive rights to the Shares and Warrants. Having agreed with the Management Board's opinion regarding this Resolution, the Annual General Meeting has resolved to adopt the Management Board's opinion presented below and use it as a written opinion justifying the divestment of the existing shareholders of the pre-emptive rights to the Shares and Warrants and indicating the method for determining the issue price of the Shares pursuant to the requirements of Article 433 § 2 of the Polish Code of Commercial Companies and Partnerships:
"The adoption of a resolution on a conditional share capital increase by way of issue of new shares is justified by the need to grant rights to acquire them to the holders of subscription warrants participating in the incentive programme which the Company intends to implement. The implementation of the incentive programme shall constitute an additional incentive mechanism in an effort to increase the value of the Company's Shares by linking the interests of persons eligible to take part in the incentive programme with the interests of the Company and its shareholders by awarding such persons a bonus in the form of an offer to acquire the subscription warrants incorporating the right to acquire the Company's shares.
Under the adopted conditional increase of the Company's share capital, the persons eligible to take part in the incentive programme will be offered subscription warrants incorporating the right to acquire shares, the number of which shall equal the number of awarded subscription warrants. In the light of the motivating nature of the incentive programme and the need to enable the achievement of relevant financial benefits as a result of exercising the awarded warrants, it is legitimate for the issue price of shares to be equal to the face value amounting to PLN 4.00 (four).
For these reasons, divesting the existing shareholders of the pre-emptive rights to acquire shares and subscription warrants and enabling the incentive programme participants to acquire those shares is justified, is in the Company's interest and is not contrary to the shareholders' interest."
- In connection with the conditional share capital increase the following letter (e) shall be added to Article 34a of the Company's By-laws:
"e) pursuant to Resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 9 May 2018 on the Issue of Subscription Warrants, Conditional Share Capital Increase with Divestment of the Existing Shareholders' Pre-emptive Right to Subscription Warrants and Shares, Change of the Company's By-Laws and on Applying for Admission of Shares to Trading on the Regulated Market, and Dematerialisation of Shares, the share capital of the Bank has been conditionally increased by PLN 3,736,000 (three million seven hundred thirty six thousand) by way of issue of 934,000 (nine hundred thirty four thousand) ordinary bearer shares with a face value of PLN 4.00 (four) each."
- On the basis of Article 430(5) of the Code of Commercial Companies, the Supervisory Board of the Bank is hereby authorized to determine the consolidated text of the amended By-laws of the Bank.
Article 4

This Resolution comes into force on the day of its adoption, whereas the amendment to the By-laws of the Bank regarding a conditional increase of the Bank's share capital becomes effective from the day of registration in the register of entrepreneurs of the National Court Register, according to Article 430(1) of the Code of Commercial Companies.
