1) Objective of the Buy-Back Program:
The objective of the Company’s own shares Buy-Back Program is to decrease in the Company’s share capital by redeeming the Company’s shares acquired under the Buy-Back Program. The implementation of the Buy-Back Program is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders in the situation when the stock exchange rate of the Company’s shares is below the net value of the Company’s assets (NAV) per one share. The implementation of the Buy-Back Program can give the shareholders in the medium and long-term an increase in the value of the Company’s shares held by them.
2) Duration of the Buy-Back Program:
The Buy-Back Program shall begin on July 11, 2011 and finish on June 30, 2012.
3) The maximum number of shares to be acquired during the Buy-Back Program:
Under the Buy-Back Program the Management Board can acquire no more than 5% of the Company’s shares traded on the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (âWSEâ) on June 30, 2011 provided that in each calendar quarter of the implementation of the Buy-Back Program the number of the Company’s shares which were acquired shall not exceed 2% of the number of the Company’s shares traded on the regulated market of the WSE on June 30, 2011.
4) The maximum value of funds to be spent on the implementation of the Buy-Back Program:
The General Assembly of the Company decided to create a reserve fund to operate as the âBuy-Back Program Settlement Fundâ in order to finance and settle the acquisition of its own shares by the Company under the Buy-Back Program and supply it with a portion of the Company’s indivisible net profits remaining in the Company’s share capital. Taking into account the restrictions defined below, the amount of the supplementary capital separated in order to create the Buy-Back Program Settlement Fund shall not exceed 10% (ten percent) of the supplementary capitals of the Company as of March 31, 2011. However, the amount of the separated and used supplementary capital to implement the Buy-Back Program shall: (i) never cause the value of the remaining supplementary capital of the Company to be lower than the value of the registered share capital of the Company increased by the reserves established in compliance with applicable legal regulations and (ii) it shall never exceed 5% (five percent) of the capitalization of the Company calculated as of June 30, 2011.
5) The maximum price of acquisition of own shares during the implementation of the Buy-Back Program:
Taking into account the observance by the Company of additional restrictions provided in the Commission Regulation No. 2273/2003, the maximum unit price for one share acquired during the Buy-Back Program shall not exceed PLN 7.98, that is the net value of the Company’s assets (NAV) as of December 31, 2010 per one share of the Company. With the consent of the Supervisory Board the maximum unit price for one acquired share, referred to above, can be increased to the net value of the assets of the Company calculated as of the end of the calendar quarter of the implementation of the Buy-Back Program per one share of the Company provided that the maximum unit price shall not exceed PLN 10.00 per share.

7) Other parameters of the implementation of the Buy-Back Program:
The Company cannot acquire on a regulated market more than 25% of the average daily value of trading in shares on any day on a regulated market where purchases are made. The average daily value of trading in shares is based on the average daily value of trading in Company’s shares in the month preceding the month when the public is informed of the Buy-Back Program and it is calculated on that basis for the duration of the Program. In the case of exceptionally low liquidity of the Company’s shares on a regulated market, the Management Board can exceed the limit of 25%, referred to in 1 above, provided the following conditions are met: (i) the Company shall in advance notify the Financial Supervision Commission of its intention to exceed the limit of 25%, (ii) the Company shall inform the public in the form of a current report that it can exceed the limit of 25%, (iii) the Company shall not exceed 50% of the average daily value.
The Management Board is entitled to implement the Buy-Back Program only as regards the shares traded on the WSE. The shares can be purchased during the stock exchange trading session and in off-session transactions.
