Below, the Company provides information on the most significant rules for conducting the Treasury Share buyback set out in the Management Board Resolution:
1. The Treasury Shares will be acquired through an investment firm in an off-session transaction or transactions, carried out by way of a public invitation to all Company shareholders to submit offers to sell Treasury Shares [“Offer”] [“Invitation”], which in no event will constitute: [i] a public tender offer to subscribe for the sale or exchange of shares referred to in Art. 72a et seq. of the Act of 29 July 2005 on Public Offering and the Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organised Trading and on Public Companies [“Act on Public Offering”], or [ii] an offer within the meaning of Art. 66 of the Act of 23 April 1964 – Civil Code;

7. the Treasury Shares may be used by the Company for cancellation, further resale to third parties, financing the purchase price in transactions involving the acquisition of other entities by the Company or its subsidiaries, or may be offered by the Company under the incentive programme currently in force at the Company or under another incentive programme that may be established by the Company pursuant to a separate resolution of the Company’s General Meeting;
