Principles governing participation in the meeting:
1. Shareholders may participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders and exercise their voting rights in person or by proxy. Proxies of persons other than natural persons must present current copies of appropriate registers (e.g. an extract from the National Court Register) that list the persons entitled to represent those entities. A proxy may exercise all of the shareholder's rights at the General Meeting of Shareholders unless the form of proxy states otherwise. A shareholder who has shares recorded on more than one securities account will be able to establish separate proxies to execute rights attached to the shares on each of those accounts.
2. A proxy form authorising participation in the General Meeting of Shareholders and the exercising of voting rights must be granted in writing or in electronic form. Granting a proxy form in electronic form does not require an electronic signature verified by a valid qualified certificate. A proxy may be granted by a correctly and completely filled out and signed appropriate form, which is available on the company's website at: www.energomontaz.pl under the tab Investor Relations/Company Info/General Meeting of Shareholders. A proxy granted in the above form, or a notification of granting the proxy in some other form, should be sent by the shareholder to the Company in PDF or another format readable by the Company to the following email address: pelnomocnictwo.wza@energomontaz.pl. Use of the above form is not obligatory. Where possible, the abovementioned form for an electronic proxy, or notification on granting a proxy in some other form, should be sent by email to the Company at the latest 24 hours before the General Meeting of Shareholders in view of the need to conduct relevant verification. Notification on issuing a proxy in another manner than on the form mentioned above should contain a precise indication of the proxy and grantor (indicating in the case of natural persons, given name and surname, series and number of ID, passport or other official document confirming the identify of the proxy and grantor, PESEL number and place of residence, and in the case of other persons, company name, registered office, address, KRS number or other register and other necessary data permitting identification, e.g. tax Identification Number (NIP)). The form providing instructions on how to vote through a proxy is available on the Company's website at: www.energomontaz.pl under the tab Investor Relations/Company Info/General Meeting of Shareholders.
3. The Company takes appropriate steps aimed at identifying the shareholder and proxy for the purpose of verifying the validity of a proxy granted in electronic form. Verification may consist of a request for confirmation by telephone or email from the shareholder and proxy in order to confirm that the proxy was actually granted. After arrival at the general meeting and before signing the attendance list, the proxy should first furnish originals of appropriate ID documentation for the purpose of confirming the proxy's identity.
4. In connection with convening and participating in the shareholders meeting, shareholders are vested with the following entitlements:
- A Shareholder or shareholders representing at least 1/20 of the share capital can request that specific items be placed on the agenda of the next General Meeting of Shareholders.

Amendments to the Statute and their justification:
Recently introduced amendments concern, for example, the principles of determining the criteria for and number of independent members on the Company's Supervisory Board. According to the current legal state, the criteria for independence continue to be specified in the Good Practices of WSE Listed Companies approved by Resolution No. 17/1249/2010 of the Council of the Exchange on 19 May 2010, and in Appendix II to the Recommendation of the European Commission of 15 February 2005 concerning the role of non-executive directors or those who are members of the supervisory boards of listed companies and (supervisory) board committees. Also essential in this regard is the Act on Statutory Auditors and their Self-government, Entities Authorised to Audit Financial Statements, and Public Supervision of 7 May 2009 (Journal of Laws 09.77.649).
The Management Board of the Company recognized, when preparing the draft amendments to the Statute, that it continues to be expedient to refrain from detailing the requirements concerning the independence of Supervisory Board members, which result from appropriate statutory provisions and regulations concerning corporate governance in listed companies. The amendment of the provisions of these legal acts will in such a case take effect in the provisions of the Statute being out of date. It therefore continues to be expedient to include, in the Statute of the Company, references to appropriate regulations in such a way as to retain the flexibility and current nature of the provisions of the Statute in spite of changes to legal regulations.
Considering the above, the amendment of the Statute is necessary on account of the need to adapt its provisions to the changing regulations for the operation of listed companies.
Amendments to the Statute of the Company:
- the present content of Article 13 par. 3 of the Statute of the Company is changed and will receive the following wording:
Previous wording of Article 13 par. 3:
Article 13 par. 3:
"At least half the members of the Supervisory Board should be independent members, free of connections with the Company and with shareholders or employees who might significantly influence the ability of an independent member to make impartial decisions."
New wording of Article 13 par. 3:
Article 13 par. 3
"The Supervisory Board should contain independent members whose number and criteria of independence result from appropriate legal regulations or regulations contained in documents concerning listed companies, specifying the principles of corporate governance".
- Article 13 par. 4 is deleted and will be replaced by the provision of Article13 par. 5.
Previous wording of Article 13 par. 4 and 5:
Article 13 par. 4 and 5
4. Independent members of the Supervisory Board and their relatives (particularly spouse, descendant, ascendant) should meet the following criteria:
- they are not and have not been employees of the Company, subsidiaries or parent companies for the last five years,
- they are not and have not been employed in the Company, subsidiaries or parent companies at the post of member of the management board or another management post for the last five years,
- they do not receive any additional remuneration (apart from that due for being a member of a supervisory board) or any material performances from the Company, subsidiaries or parent companies,
- they are not shareholders who directly or indirectly hold shares exceeding 10 per cent of the total number of votes at the general meeting of shareholders, or representatives, members of a management board or supervisory board or employees exercising management functions at that shareholder,
- they are not and have not been statutory auditors of the Company or subsidiaries or parent companies, or employees of a company rendering auditing services for the Company, subsidiaries or parent companies for the last three years,
- they do not have and have not had any family connections with members of the Management Board of the Company, employees of the Company holding management posts, those holding the post of attorney-at-law [radca prawny] or those being a dominant shareholder for the last three years,
- they do not have and have not had any significant commercial ties with the Company either directly or indirectly, as a partner, a significant shareholder, member of the corporate bodies or holding a management function during the last year,
- they were not members of the Company's Supervisory Board for longer than 12 years from the date of the first election ,
- they are not management board members in another company in which a management board member is a member of the supervisory board of that other company.
5. Withdrawal from or the death of a Supervisory Board member as well as for other reasons causing a reduction in the number of Supervisory Board members does not result in the invalidity of resolution adopted by the Supervisory Board, provided that the number of members of the Supervisory Board is not lower than five persons.
New wording of Article 13 par. 4:
Article 13 par. 4:
"Withdrawal from or the death of a Supervisory Board member as well as for other reasons causing a reduction in the number of Supervisory Board members does not result in the invalidity of resolutions adopted by the Supervisory Board, provided that the number of members of the Supervisory Board is not lower than five persons".
