The Management Board of the Company informs that on 06.03.2020 the Company has received information about
In view of the information obtained, on 6 March 2020 the Management Board of the Company stated (by way of a resolution) that it had started a process in the Company aimed at verifying the possibility of making changes/diversifying the composition of the Company’s Management Board for the next term of office by taking the necessary actions by the competent authorities of the Company, consisting, among other things, in the necessary consultations with advisors in the scope of considering the possibility and path of making changes in the Company’s Management Board, as well as the commencement of talks by the Company with Maciej Zużałek on expressing his consent to be a candidate and the conditions for holding the position in the Company’s Management Board.
At the same time, the Company’s Management Board identified the above information as confidential information within the meaning of Article 17, paragraph 1 of the MAR Regulation and decided to delay it on the basis of Article 17, paragraph 4 of the MAR Regulation. The delay in providing Confidential Information fulfilled the conditions set out in the MAR Regulation and the guidelines of the European Securities and Market Abuse Regulation of 20 October 2016 issued pursuant to Article 17(11) of the MAR Regulation.
In the opinion of the Management Board of the Company, immediate disclosure of the confidential information could violate the legitimate interest of the Company, i.e. could negatively affect the process aimed at verifying the possibility of changes/diversifying the composition of the Management Board of the Company for the next term of office, including in particular the discussions with Maciej Zużałek on his consent to stand as a candidate and the conditions for holding office in the Management Board of the Company, which until the disclosure of the confidential information was internal (between the Company, members of its bodies and advisors) and preparatory.
Moreover, the disclosure of confidential information could result in an incorrect assessment of the information by the public and market participants, including the Company’s shareholders, and sudden changes in the Company’s share price.
At the same time, in the opinion of the Management Board:
Disclosure of confidential information results from the fact that the premise indicating the possibility of a breach of the legitimate interest of the Issuer has expired – on 21.04.2020 the process aimed at verifying the possibility of changes/diversifying the composition of the Company’s Management Board for the next term of office was completed and negotiations with Maciej Zużałek on the approval of the candidacy and the conditions for holding office on the Company’s Management Board for the next term of office by reaching an agreement by the interested parties.
