Enclosure to Resolution no. […]/2022 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A.of […] 2022 concerning: decreasing the share capital by way of reducing the par value of shares and simultaneously increasing the share capital by way of issuing series E shares under the private subscription procedure, depriving the existing shareholders entirely of the preemptive right to all series E shares, applying for admission and introduction of series E shares and/or rights to series E shares to trading on the regulated market of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. [Warsaw Stock Exchange], dematerialising series E shares or rights to series E shares, as well as amending the Company Statutes
Pursuant to Article 433 § 2 of the Commercial Companies Code ("CCC"), the Management Board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw ("Company") adopted its opinion on 18 January 2022 in connection with the plan providing for the General Meeting to adopt a resolution concerning: decreasing the share capital by way of reducing the par value of shares and simultaneously increasing the share capital by way of issuing series E shares under the private subscription procedure, depriving the existing shareholders entirely of the preemptive right to all series E shares, applying for admission and introduction of series E shares or rights to series E shares to trading on the regulated market of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. [Warsaw Stock Exchange], dematerialising series E shares or rights to series E shares, as well as amending the Company Statutes ("Share Issue Resolution").
Series E shares are to be offered only to selected investors under private subscription and paid for only with cash contributions. This will make it possible to secure financing necessary for the Company to implement the planned investment projects in the following three areas: intensification of the development of renewable energy sources, decarbonisation through the development of low-emission sources and development of distribution under the "Distribution of the Future" programme. The Management Board wishes to emphasise that these investment projects are part of the Company's long-term development strategy, and raising capital in the form of an issue of series E shares is the optimal form of acquiring financial resources for their implementation.
Carrying out the issue of series E shares with the exclusion of the pre-emptive right will make it possible to maximise the volume of financial resources obtained for this purpose and will also make it possible to attract new long-term investors. This will contribute to strengthening the competitive position of the Company, as well as increasing its credibility and stability. It will also have a positive impact on the dynamics of the Company's development.
Depriving the existing shareholders of the preemptive right will also allow the Company to limit the costs connected with the issue of series E shares. The issue will be carried out in the form of private subscription addressed exclusively to selected investors that meet the following criteria: (i) they are Qualified Investors within the meaning of Article 1(4)(a) of the Prospectus Regulation (in accordance with the definition below) or (ii) they acquire securities for a total consideration of at least EUR 100,000 per investor as referred to in Article 1(4)(d) of the Prospectus Regulation (in accordance with the definition below) ("Eligible Investors"). This will make the public offering for series E shares exempt from the obligation to publish a share issue prospectus pursuant to Article 1(4)(a) 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 (O.J. EU. L. 2017, No. 168, p. 12, as amended) ("Prospectus Regulation"). The lack of the obligation to publish an issue prospectus will considerably facilitate the procedure of the issue of series E shares and will also reduce its cost, inter alia, by the value of legal and financial consultancy services necessary for the preparation of a prospectus. If the existing shareholders were not to be deprived of the preemptive right, the public offering for series E shares would not be exempt from the obligation to publish an issue prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation.
Simultaneously, the draft Share Issue Resolution provides for the possibility to take advantage of priority in the allocation of series E shares depending on fulfilling the prerequisites indicated in the Share Issue Resolution. This mechanism makes it possible to prevent dilution of the shareholdings of the Eligible Investors participating in the book building process who hold more than 0.10% of shares in the Company's share capital as at the end of 19 February 2022, i.e. on the date of registration of participation in the Extraordinary General Meeting at which the Share Issue Resolution is to be adopted ("Reference Date"). Such shareholders will have priority over other Eligible Investors to obtain the allocation of such a number of Series E Shares as will enable such investors, after the issue of Series E Shares, to maintain their shareholdings in the share capital of the Company at a level not lower than the shareholding held by them as at the end of the Reference Date.
In view of the above, the Management Board states that the issue of series E Shares in which the existing shareholders will be entirely deprived of the preemptive right is in the Company's interest and simultaneously makes it possible for the Eligible Investors holding more than 0.10% of shares as at the Reference Date to retain their shareholdings as at that date. Therefore, the Management Board recommends the issue of series E shares in which the existing shareholders will be entirely deprived of the preemptive right.
According to the draft Share Issue Resolution, the issue price of series E shares will be determined by the Management Board in consultation with the financial institutions involved in the offering of series E shares.
The issue price of series E shares will be determined by the Company's Management Board taking into account the results of the book building process, at a level not lower than the par value of the Company's shares after the decrease, i.e. PLN 8.55 (say: eight zloty and fifty-five groszy).
Given the volatility of the situation on the capital markets and the period elapsing between the date of adopting the Share Issue Resolution and the date of determining the issue price of series E shares, granting the Management Board authorisation in this respect is justified and is consistent with the Company's interest.
