days from the cessation.
Pursuant to the Phantom Shares Program part of the remuneration for members of the
Management Board may be provided by granting them payment rights based on the
trading quotation of shares of the Company on the WSE.
The Phantom Shares grant to the entitled members of the Management Board a right for
a cash settlement from the Company or other Group entity in the amount equal to the
difference between the average closing price for the Company’s shares on the WSE
during the 30-day period prior to the date of delivery to the Company of the exercise
notice, and settlement price (“strike price”) per share (adjustable for dividend).
Phantom Shares are only a means of calculating the future variable component of
remuneration, which depends on the future market price of shares of the Company on the
WSE. The Phantom Shares are not financial instruments convertible or exchangeable
into shares in the Company, in particular, they are not options on such shares. The
Phantom Shares are not transferable.
Granting Phantom Shares to members of the Management Board and setting their
condition is reviewed and approved by the Remuneration Committee and the Supervisory
Board.
Besides the Phantom Shares, members of the Management Board may be also granted
with other types of incentive programs which may either grant rights to acquire new or
purchase existing shares of the Company or be based on movement of prices of the
Company’s shares, which may be adopted in the Company from time to time. Relevant
provisions relating to such other incentive programs, such as vesting periods, principles
of transferring such shares or rules of exercising rights to receive remuneration under
such programs shall be regulated by the General Shareholders’ Meeting or the
Supervisory Board and further detailed in the agreement to be concluded between the
Company and member of the Management Board participating in such other incentive
program.
The amount of payments based on the Phantom Shares is strictly dependent on the
Share price movement, and thus it is dependent on the achievement of the objectives set
out in this Remuneration Policy.
The establishment of the link between the Management Board member's remuneration
and the increase in the Company's Shares prices aligns his or her personal interest with
the interests of shareholders. Implementation of the Company’s strategy and commitment
to long – term interests should have positive impact on the Share prices which in turn
should translate to higher remuneration of Management Board members. In addition, it
also leads to the increase in motivation of Management Board members and retaining
them in the Company and as such it contributes to the stability of the Company.
Additional financial and non-financial benefits that may be awarded to members of the
Management Board
21. Members of the Management Board may receive additional benefits, such as:
- private medical care, including family members,
- compensation for compliance with the non-compete clause following the end of
engagement,
- he use of company cars, company telephones and other electronic devices for
private purposes and covering their costs,
22. In addition, members of the Management Board may also receive liability insurance
coverage, as well as reimbursement of other expenses related to execution of duties in
the Management Board.
23. Compensation for compliance with the non-compete clause after termination of legal
relationship with the Company may be granted in the amount of 25% of the fixed monthly
remuneration of a particular member of the Management Board multiplied by the number
of months during which the non-compete obligation shall be effective. Such
compensation shall be paid in monthly installments for the months of duration on the non-
compete obligation.
24. The maximum duration of the non-competition clause is 6 months from the date of
termination of the legal relationship of a member of the Management Board with the
Company.
Proportion of fixed and variable remuneration
25. The Company prescribes the remuneration system so that the total share of variable
remuneration together with additional financial and non-financial benefits is between 30%
and 150% of the annual fixed remuneration for a particular member of the Management
Board. For calculation of the above proportion between fixed and variable parts of the
remuneration, the value of the Phantom Shares is disregarded.
Remuneration received from other Group entities
26. Members of the Management Board may also receive remuneration based on contracts
or other legal relationships entered into in connection with or for their assigned functions
in corporate bodies of entities belonging to the Group. Such remuneration may be fixed,
variable and may also include any additional financial or non- financial benefits.

on the Company's behalf at meetings of the shareholders of a Subsidiary of the Company
authorizing transactions meeting the above criteria.
