(the "Company") and describes in detail the remuneration components, in accordance with the Act of 9 June 2016 on the Rules of Remunerating Persons Managing Certain Companies (the "Remuneration Act"; consolidated text: Dz.U. of 2020, item 1907, as amended) and with the Remuneration Policy for the Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. (the "Remuneration Policy"), which was adopted by Resolution No. 36 of the Annual General Meeting of 25 June 2024.
The remuneration of the Members of the Management Board of the Company is governed by:
- the Remuneration Act,
- Resolutions of the General Meeting on the rules of remuneration for Management Board Members,
- the Remuneration Policy,
- Resolutions of the Supervisory Board setting individual terms and conditions for the provision of services based on the documents referred above, and also based on the Remuneration Policy as of 2020,
- the individual management services contracts concluded between the Company and each Management Board Member ("Contract(s)"),
- the Rules of the Incentive Scheme for the Management Board (the "MBO Rules"),
- the Commercial Companies Code.
The remuneration of the Members of the Supervisory Board of the Company is governed by:
- the Remuneration Act,
- Resolutions of the General Meeting on the rules of remuneration for Supervisory Board Members,

2. Remuneration of Management Board Members
All components of the remuneration of the Members of the Management Board of the Company are set out in the resolution of the General Meeting on the remuneration of the Members of the Management Board, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company, and further specified in the individual management services contracts entered into between each Member of the Management Board and the Company.
Under the Contract, in consideration for serving on the Management Board, each Member is entitled to total remuneration comprising the following components:
- fixed monthly base pay ("Fixed Remuneration"),
- additional variable remuneration for a given financial year ("Variable Remuneration"),
- additional benefits, available subject to the conditions specified in the Contract, the Remuneration Act, and the Remuneration Policy.
2.1 Fixed Remuneration
Pursuant to Art. 4 of the Remuneration Act, the remuneration of the Members of the Management Board is set, taking into account to the scale of the Company's operations, in particular its total assets, net annual turnover and headcount, within the range set out in a resolution of the General Meeting.
The monthly amount of Fixed Remuneration payable to Management Board Members was determined by way of a Supervisory Board resolution, taking into account the provisions of the Remuneration Act
ORLEN S.A. Report of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. on remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for 2025
/ 4
and the resolution of the General Meeting on the rules of remuneration for Members of the Management Board.
When determining the Fixed Remuneration of Management Board Members, the Supervisory Board considered the levels of remuneration paid to executives at companies of a comparable business profile and scale (taking into account the entire ORLEN Group, including Group companies operating in international markets).
By decision of the General Meeting of ORLEN S.A., the rules for setting the remuneration of the Members of the Management Board were amended during 2025 as follows:
- Period from 1 January 2025 to 31 August 2025
Under the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of the Company of 14 June 2019¹, which applied during this period, the Company's General Meeting set a fixed portion of the remuneration of Management Board Members within a range of 7x–15x the reference amount, namely the average salary in the non-financial corporate sector (net of bonuses paid from profit) in the fourth quarter of the previous year, as announced by the President of Statistics Poland.
Acting on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board set the Fixed Remuneration for each Member of the Management Board at 15x the said reference amount². That level of remuneration was effective until 31 August 2025
- Period from 1 September 2025 to 31 December 2025
Subsequently, by resolution of the Annual General Meeting of the Company of 5 June 2025³, the General Meeting amended the rules for determining the remuneration of Management Board Members, setting the fixed component within a range of 7x–15x the reference amount, namely the arithmetic mean of the monthly average salaries in the non-financial corporate sector (net of bonuses paid from profit), as announced by the President of Statistics Poland, for the 12 (twelve) quarters of the last 3 (three) full consecutive years preceding the year for which the reference amount determined. In addition:
- under the Resolution of 5 June 2025, the Annual General Meeting required that the Supervisory Board set the Fixed Remuneration of the Management Board Members as a specific monetary amount and to amend the management services contracts entered into with the Management Board Members within three months of the resolution taking effect; and
- accordingly, by decision of the Supervisory Board acting on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, with effect from 1 September 2025 the Fixed Remuneration of each Member of the Management Board was set at 15x the said reference amount⁴. That level of remuneration was effective until 31 December 2025.
2.2 Variable Remuneration
The rules governing eligibility to receive Variable Remuneration are set out in the Contracts, to which the MBO Rules are appended, setting out the rules for awarding, assessing and paying the variable component of remuneration. These rules, in particular, provide as follows:
- Based on the general set of Management Objectives established by the General Meeting, the Supervisory Board resolves to set individual Bonus Objectives that are key to the Company's operations, which are then included in each Management Board Member's MBO Sheet, together with the applicable weightings and performance criteria.
- The Supervisory Board also sets, in accordance with the Remuneration Act and the relevant resolution of the General Meeting, the Qualifying Targets whose achievement is a precondition to payment of Variable Remuneration for the year, as described in section 2.2.2 below.
¹ Resolution No. 44 of the Annual General Meeting of PKN ORLEN S.A. of 14 June 2019 to amend Resolution No. 4 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 24 January 2017 on the rules of remuneration for Members of the Management Board, as amended by Resolution No. 29 of the Annual General Meeting of 30 June 2017, Resolution No. 4 of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 2 February 2018, and Resolution No. 1 of the Annual General Meeting of 17 July 2018.
² The reference amount was PLN 8,548.85.

ORLEN S.A. Report of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. on remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for 2025
-
The Supervisory Board assesses the performance of each Management Board Member against their individual Bonus Objectives and the Qualifying Targets. This assessment is based on a recommendation from President of the Management Board, which contains an evaluation of how each Management Board Member has performed against their individual Bonus Objectives.
-
When assessing performance against the Management Objectives, the Supervisory Board takes into account the financial statements and other ORLEN Group documents referred to in section 4.
-
The Management Board Members' performance against individual quantitative Bonus Objectives is assessed based on the percentage points assigned thereto, while their performance against individual qualitative Bonus Objectives is assessed based on the achievement level.
-
The performance against individual Bonus Objectives is measured as the weighted sum of percentage points assigned by the Supervisory Board to each Bonus Objective.
-
The Variable Remuneration for a financial year may not exceed 100% of the Fixed Remuneration due in the previous financial year, for which the Variable Remuneration is calculated. Variable Remuneration is at the same time conditional on performance against the individual Bonus Objectives (both qualitative and quantitative) set by the Supervisory Board for each Member, and on the achievement of the Qualifying Targets set by the Supervisory Board.
-
A Management Board Member appointed during the course of a financial year may receive Variable Remuneration, subject to achieving the objectives assigned to their specific role as detailed in the relevant MBO Sheet, with the remuneration amount determined pro rata to the period of their service on the Management Board.
-
To be entitled to Variable Remuneration following the expiry of their mandate, a Management Board Member must have served for more than three months during the financial year being evaluated, in which case Variable Remuneration is determined pro rata to the period of service.
Upon expiry of a Management Board Member's mandate, he or she must submit to President of the Management Board a Report on Achievement of Qualitative Objectives and a Report on Achievement of any Qualifying Targets set as preconditions for payment of Variable Remuneration for that year. In such cases, the Supervisory Board evaluates the achievement of the relevant qualitative Bonus Objectives and Qualifying Targets based on the progress of related work schedules, specifically completion of tasks towards the achievement of particular objectives, in accordance with the applicable rules.
Also, under the provisions of the Contract, the Company is entitled to recover Variable Remuneration paid to a Management Board Member where it is subsequently shown that the award was made on the basis of data which proves to be untrue and where the inaccuracy of that data was caused by circumstances for which the Members of the Management Board are responsible (whether or not the relevant Member is among them) Where the inaccuracy of the data was caused by circumstances for which the Members of the Management Board were not responsible, the Member of the Management Board is required to repay the difference between the amount received and the amount that would have been due on the basis of accurate data.
Pursuant to the Contract, a Supervisory Board resolution may be the basis for payment of Variable Remuneration for the achievement of the prior year's Management Objectives, subject to prior approval by the General Meeting of the Management Board's Report on the Company's operations, ORLEN S.A.'s financial statements and the ORLEN Group's consolidated financial statements, as well as subject to discharging a Management Board Member of liability for their activities. Variable Remuneration is paid within seven days of the General Meeting's approval of the said report and statements.
Given that the Management Objectives for 2024 were achieved, and that the condition referred to above was satisfied in 2025, the Members of the Management Board received Variable Remuneration for 2024 in 2025, as presented in Table 5.

3. Remuneration of Supervisory Board Members
The rules of remuneration for Supervisory Board Members were determined in a resolution passed by the Company's General Meeting, taking into account the rules stipulated in the Commercial Companies Code and the Company's Articles of Association, as well as pursuant to and within the limits specified in the Remuneration Act.
Accordingly, Members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to:
- Monthly remuneration payable based on the corporate relationship resulting from their appointment as Supervisory Board Members, for the duration of their service at the Company, and
- To reimbursement of expenses related to the performance of their duties.
ORLEN S.A. Report of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. on remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for 2025
/ 12
3.1 Fixed Remuneration
Pursuant to Resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company of 14 June 2019,⁹ the monthly remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board was calculated as the product of the reference salary¹⁰ referred to in Art. 1.3.11 of the Remuneration Act, and the following multipliers:
- for Chair of the Supervisory Board: 2.2
- for other Members of the Supervisory Board: 2
effective from 1 January to 4 June 2025.
Subsequently, pursuant to Resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company of 5 June 2025,¹¹ the monthly remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board was calculated as the product of the reference salary¹² referred to in Art. 1.3.11 of the Remuneration Act, subject to legislation amending or modifying the reference amount, including the provisions of the annual special-measures acts implementing the budget for the relevant year and the following multipliers:
- for Chair of the Supervisory Board: 3.025
- for other Members of the Supervisory Board: 2.75
effective from 5 June to 31 December 2025.
The amount of remuneration payable to Supervisory Board Members varied depending on their roles. If a Supervisory Board Member held office for a period shorter than the month for which such remuneration was due, the remuneration amount was calculated pro rata to the actual number of days in office. A Supervisory Board Member did not receive remuneration for a month during which that Member was absent from a meeting and such absence was not authorised (absences of Supervisory Board Members being authorised by way of Supervisory Board resolutions). Also, the amount of Fixed Remuneration for the Supervisory Board Members who met the independence criteria was conducive to maintaining their independence from the majority shareholder and the Company's decision-makers.

4. Criteria for Assessing Management Objectives
The criteria for assessing the Management Objectives are set out in the Company's Rules for Setting and Assessing Individual Bonus Objectives for Members of the Management Board of ORLEN S.A. for 2025 (the "MBO Framework"), as adopted by the Supervisory Board.
Criteria for assessing quantitative objectives
For quantitative objectives, the MBO Framework defines and describes the algorithms and methodology for calculating the relevant metrics, and the criteria for assessing performance against each objective. The primary data sources for quantitative financial objectives are:
- the materials presented to the Supervisory Board concerning the 2025 Financial Plan,
- the audited financial statements of Group companies,
- reporting systems such as SAP, financial planning HFM and statutory HFM,
- accounting records and source documents,
- public stock exchange data.
In addition, at the Supervisory Board's request, the quantitative objectives were independently reviewed by KPMG Audyt sp. z o.o. sp.k. to confirm alignment with the underlying assumptions, consistency with ORLEN's MBO Framework, and accuracy against financial data reported for the year.
Criteria for assessing qualitative objectives
Performance against qualitative objectives is assessed by reference to the following key elements:
- the MBO Rules – including the reports submitted within the prescribed time limits by the Members of the Management Board on performance against their qualitative objectives, and the Management Board's recommendation on the achievement of the Qualifying Targets,
- delivery against the assumptions for the Strategic Initiatives and Projects and innovation activities – including the effectiveness of the measures taken under those projects, their contribution to the delivery of the Group Strategy through the projects identified in the MBO Sheets, the level of engagement of the Members of the Management Board in delivering each objective, the implementation of external and internal innovations through R&D&I projects aligned with the Strategic Research Agenda, and the building of an innovation culture through the development of tools for sourcing innovation at ORLEN,
- additional factors, primarily including market trends and the macroeconomic, legal and regulatory conditions that facilitate or determine the achievement of objectives,
- additional reports, for example on the macroeconomic, legal and regulatory conditions that facilitate or determine the achievement of qualitative objectives; routine reports submitted to the Group Strategy Committee on Strategic Initiatives and to the Supervisory Board's Strategy and Development Committee on the Group Strategy (or equivalents of such reports if they are revised or superseded in the course of future updates to the Strategy), and
ORLEN S.A. Report of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. on remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for 2025
/ 14
- the rating scale set out in the MBO Rules: 0% unsatisfactory, 60% moderate, 80% satisfactory, 100% excellent, 120% exceeds expectations.
Criteria for assessing the Qualifying Targets for Variable Remuneration
The Qualifying Targets that must be met before any Variable Remuneration can be awarded are assessed by reference to:
- The report of the Management Board on the application of the principles of remunerating members of management and supervisory boards of ORLEN Group companies in accordance with the Remuneration Act;
- The Report of the Management Board on the performance of obligations under the State Property Management Act at ORLEN Group subsidiaries;
- A confirmation from each Member of the Management Board of compliance with the requirements of the said Act;
- The report on the achievement of the Qualifying Targets for the year, submitted by Members of the Management Board whose term of office has expired.
5. Consistency of total remuneration with the Remuneration Policy and explanation of how it affects the Company's long-term performance
The Remuneration Policy supported the delivery of the Company's objectives, in particular long-term value creation for Shareholders and business stability. One of its central tenets, in relation to the remuneration of members of the Company's governing bodies, is to support the delivery of long-term strategic objectives while ensuring strong financial performance and safeguarding the Company's stability.
In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, which is based on the Remuneration Act, Fixed Remuneration was set, taking into account such factors as the persons' qualifications, experience and length of service; the profile of their role; the scope and nature of their responsibilities; the size of the function supervised; and pay grades at peer companies, including global ones. Fixed Remuneration also reflected the Company's actual ability to acquire to attract and retain key talent and was in line with market practice at companies operating globally.
The key provisions of the Remuneration Policy were equally rigorously applied to Variable Remuneration. The Variable Remuneration for 2024, paid in 2025:
- did not exceed 100% of Fixed Remuneration for the year,
- was conditional on the achievement of the Management Objectives set by the Supervisory Board (the same applies to the Variable Remuneration potentially due in respect of 2025 and payable in 2026),
- allowed for pro rata payment where the Member did not serve for the full year (the same applies to the Variable Remuneration potentially due in respect of 2025 and payable in 2026), and
- allowed for an award to be withheld or recovered in the event of a final and binding finding that a criminal offence had been committed (the same applies to the Variable Remuneration potentially due in respect of 2025 and payable in 2026).
The Management Objectives set for both 2024 and 2025 reflect the public interest, ESG goals, the Group's focus on modernising its business and delivering its business strategy, including ensuring its long-term stability.
The Additional Benefits awarded to the Members of the Management Board were also provided in accordance with the Remuneration Policy. In 2025, they comprised in particular:
- coverage of the costs of medical treatment, preventive healthcare and medical care, including with respect to a Management Board Member's closest family members or persons who share the same household with the Management Board Member,
- coverage of the costs of training related to the responsibilities performed at the Company,
ORLEN S.A. Report of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. on remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for 2025
/ 15
- coverage of additional insurance costs, including D&O liability cover,
- use of the Company's assets, including a company car with a fuel card (including for private use, against a flat-rate payment to the Company),
- use of the Company's corporate payment cards to cover business expenses that were necessary and appropriate to their role in view of the nature of the Company's business,
- eligibility to participate in the Employee Capital Plan in place at the Company,
- severance for Members of the Management Board removed from office in 2025 (equal to three months' Fixed Remuneration),
- non-compete compensation for Members of the Management Board removed from office in 2025 (equal to six months' Fixed Remuneration), and
- as a further additional benefit, payment to Members of the Management Board removed from office in 2025 for remaining available to the Company for one month (equal to one month's Fixed Remuneration).
The 2035 ORLEN Group Strategy was published in January 2025. Its key objectives include expanding natural gas production, constructing four offshore wind farms, developing large-scale energy storage facilities, and delivering at least two small modular nuclear reactors. The strategy has been developed in response to the rapidly changing external environment, taking into account macroeconomic conditions, the regulatory landscape, and competitive pressures. Consequently, ORLEN aims to position itself as a leader in Central Europe's energy transition, ensuring energy security and supporting economic growth across the region.
In view of prevailing market trends, the ORLEN Group has defined strategic energy transition trajectories and objectives for its four key business segments:
- Upstream & Supply: increasing natural gas production, with planned cumulative deliveries of 27 bcm to the Polish market;
- Downstream: a 21% share of renewables in the fuel offering by 2030 and a 26% share by 2035;
- Energy: expanding renewable generation capacity to 12.8 GW, including 0.6 GW from offshore wind farms, and developing small modular nuclear reactors;
- Consumers & Products: building a customer base of 10 million loyal subscribers to the VITAY programme.
Delivery of these goals is supported by concrete measures across core areas, including decarbonisation, digitalisation, transformation and integration, capital investment excellence, and cultural change. Implementation will occur through 12 Strategic Programmes and 34 Strategic Initiatives. ORLEN has implemented a revised strategy-monitoring system and reviews delivery and any variances from the Strategy on a quarterly basis.
In addition, to support its sustainability efforts, the ORLEN Group is advancing its Sustainable Development Strategy, structured around key pillars: minimising climate impact, protecting natural resources and biodiversity, ensuring occupational health and safety and high standards of employee wellbeing, building strong relations with communities and other stakeholders, and responsible corporate governance.
Following the adoption of the ORLEN 2035 Strategy, an updated Sustainable Development Strategy was approved in April 2025. The main changes were:
- the time horizon of the Sustainable Development Strategy was extended until 2035,
- high-level 2035 targets were defined for each of the five pillars, and
- selected existing 2026 and 2030 targets were updated, and the targets under the Climate and Environment pillar – within the circularity workstream – were aligned with those of the ORLEN 2035 Strategy.
The ORLEN Transition Plan was also published in June 2025, which aggregates and provides further detail on the measures that make up the ORLEN Group's energy transition plan. The Transition Plan stems directly from, and complements, the ORLEN 2035 Strategy: it sets out the assumptions underlying the energy transition, the emission-reduction targets adopted, the decarbonisation levers identified, the resources committed to delivery, and the governance and "just transition" social arrangements for managing implementation. The Transition Plan responds to a range of regulatory
ORLEN S.A. Report of the Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A. on remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for 2025
/ 16
requirements and financial-market guidance, addresses ESG rating considerations and reflects mainstream practice across the oil and gas sector.
To deliver these strategic plans, the Group pursued a number of strategic capital projects in 2025, spanning:
- traditional business areas, such upstream production (the Ørn, Fenris and Yggdrasil projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf) and gas trading (development and analytical work in the CEE region and around the FSRU2 project to create a Gas Hub with the capacity to provide supplies to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine),
- projects intended to ensure the security of supplies, and refining and petrochemicals projects aimed at optimising production and capturing more value (New Chemicals in Płock, Bottom of the Barrel in Lithuania, and the Hydrocracked Base Oil (HBO) unit in Gdańsk),
- projects supporting the energy transition and decarbonisation plan, in particular in wind generation (the Offshore Wind Programme and the build-out of the onshore wind and solar PV portfolio), alternative fuels (the Hydrogen Programme, second-generation Bioethanol, HVO Płock and the rollout of the EV fast-charging network), and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS),
- low-carbon-fuel transition projects (the Ostrołęka and Grudziądz CCGT plants under construction, with Siekierki, Grudziądz II and Gdańsk in the pipeline), and
- strategic projects in the strategic functions, including the project to build the operating model for the Retail segment (Kangur) and the project to transform business controlling and strategic finance (Skylark).
In addition, to capture synergies stemming from corporate governance enhancements, the Group continued to bring together its Polish oil and natural gas production companies acquired through the mergers with the LOTOS Group and PGNiG, with ORLEN Upstream Polska acting as the integrating entity. As part of the broader unification of the Group and the development of its service offering, the PGNiG Obrót Detaliczny brand was consolidated under the single myORLEN brand.
Meanwhile, the ORLEN Group continued its innovation efforts, addressing challenges posed by the global energy transition, as well as working with the academic community and securing grant funding for a number of innovation projects. In 2025, ORLEN obtained PLN 1.738 billion in funding from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, Poland's state development bank, for the Green H2 utility-grade electrolyser projects and the Hydrogen Eagle hydrogen infrastructure projects. The operating model for the strategic battery energy storage (BESS) initiative was also approved.
Implementation of these initiatives was integrated into the Management Objectives set for Members of the Management Board, affecting the amount of their Variable Remuneration.

/ 17
The increase in the Management Board's average remuneration in 2025 reflects the rise in the average salary in the non-financial corporate sector (excluding bonuses paid from profit).
The decrease in the average remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board in 2025 reflected the change in the basis on which Supervisory Board remuneration is calculated, introduced on 5 June 2025 and described in section 3.1 above, together with the higher year-on-year average headcount of the Supervisory Board.
The increase in the remuneration of employees (other than Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board) reflected the adopted remuneration policy set out in the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the agreements concluded with trade unions on mandatory pay increases, one-off awards, holiday-period awards and other pay components.
The business analysis and assessment of ORLEN S.A.'s performance rely mainly on LIFO-based EBITDA, which fully reflects the effect of the macroeconomic variables on the Company's performance by measuring feedstock consumption at the currently prevailing market prices. EBITDA has additionally been adjusted for asset impairments to ensure comparability of the presented figures.

| Year-on-year change (%) | 20% | 574% | -31% | -62% | 2% |
| LIFO-based EBITDA (excluding impairment losses) | 6,691 | 48,036 | 45,282 | 16,955 | 17,171 |
| Year-on-year change (%) | 21% | 618% | -6% | -63% | 1% |

Independent Reasonable Assurance Report
To the General Shareholders’ Meeting and Supervisory Board of ORLEN S.A.
Scope of Service
At the request of ORLEN S.A. (the “Entity”) we performed an independent reasonable assurance engagement relating to evaluation of the remuneration report of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for year 2025 (the “Remuneration report”) in terms of the inclusion of the information required under Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act on Public Offering and Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organized Trading, and Public Companies dated 29 July 2005 (the “Act”).
Responsibilities of the Supervisory Board of the Entity
Members of the Entity’s Supervisory Board are responsible for the preparation of the Remuneration report in accordance with Article 90g of the Act. This responsibility also includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of the Remuneration report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
Our objective was to evaluate the completeness of the information included in the Remuneration report against the criteria set out in the section “Identification of the Criteria” and to issue an independent reasonable assurance conclusion based on the evidence obtained.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” as adopted by the National Council of Statutory Auditors (“NCSA”) as National Standard on Assurance Engagements Other Than Audit and Review 3000 (R). That standard requires that the auditor plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Remuneration report has been prepared completely and that the information has been disclosed with the level of detail required by Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act.
The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management (PL) 1 “Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagement” as adopted by the Council of Polish Agency for Audit Oversight as National Standard on

Quality Control 1, which requires us to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have complied with the independence and ethics requirements of the "Handbook of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards)" as adopted by the resolution of the NCSA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour as well as other independence and ethical requirements, applicable to assurance engagements in Poland.
The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement in the Remuneration report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we have considered internal control relevant to the preparation of the Remuneration report in accordance with Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act in order to design assurance procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing a conclusion as to the effectiveness of internal control.
Our procedures included, in particular:
- reading the content of the Remuneration report and assessing whether it contains quantitative and qualitative (descriptive) disclosures to the extent required by the Act;
- determining, by comparing to corporate documents, a list of persons for whom there is a requirement to include information in the Remuneration report and determining, by inquiring of persons responsible for preparing the Remuneration report, and, where we deem it appropriate, also directly of persons who are subject to information requirement, whether all information provided for in the criteria for preparation of the Remuneration report has been disclosed;
- reading the resolutions of the General Shareholders Meeting of the Entity regarding the remuneration policy for Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board and related detailed resolutions of the Supervisory Board and assessing whether the information presented in the Remuneration report is consistent with the remuneration policy adopted by the Entity and effective during the period covered by the report;
- agreeing the presented remuneration amounts to the Entity's accounting books.
The Remuneration report was not subject of audit within the meaning of National Standards on Auditing. The procedures performed by us do not constitute either an audit or review of this financial information, therefore we are not responsible for issuing or updating any reports or opinions on the Entity's historical financial information.
Our procedures were solely aimed at obtaining evidence that the information included by the Supervisory Board in the Remuneration report, in terms of its completeness complies with the applicable requirements. The purpose of our work was not to assess the sufficiency of the information included in the Remuneration report in terms of the purpose of preparing the Remuneration report, or to assess the correctness and integrity of the information contained therein, in particular as to the amounts disclosed, including estimates made for prior years, figures, dates, analysis, allocation methods and compliance with the adopted remuneration policy.
Our procedures also included an assessment of whether the subject matter of the engagement is appropriate and the criteria adopted for preparation of the Remuneration report are appropriate to the given circumstances.
Identification of the Criteria
The evaluation criteria of the Remuneration report are set out in Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act.
KPMG
Conclusion

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
In our opinion, the Remuneration report, in all material respects, contains all the elements listed in Article 90g paragraphs 1-5 and paragraph 8 of the Act.
Restriction of Use of Our Report
Our report has been prepared for the General Shareholders' Meeting and Supervisory Board in order to meet the requirements of the Article 90g paragraph 10 of the Act and shall not be used for any other purpose. KPMG accepts no liability in relation to this report, arising from contractual or non-contractual relationships (including negligence) in relation to third parties.
