The Management Board of Cyfrowy Polsat S.A.

The joint venture will be implemented by the JV Companies and will involve the construction on and development of a property located in Warsaw, including a joint construction of high-end office buildings, with additional retail space (the “Project”).

The JV Agreement governs the rules of operation of the JV Companies that will implement the Project, including, in particular, the rules of corporate governance of the JV Companies, financing operations of the JV Companies as well as implementation and commercialization of the Project by the JV Companies.

The JV Companies will be jointly controlled by Pantanomo and HBR (the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, each Shareholder will directly hold 50% of shares in the JV Companies. The Shareholders have agreed to finance capital and operating expenditures of the JV Companies and other Project-related expenses within the time limits and in the amounts specified in the development plan and business plan to be adopted for the Project (the “Business Plan”). The Shareholders will provide financing to the JV Companies on a 50:50 basis, in the form of share capital increases and shareholder loans.

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Pantanomo, PPCIII and HBR have agreed, subject to the conditions precedent specified therein, to execute an agreement under which HBR will acquire: (i) 50% of shares in PPCII in total from PPCIII and Pantanomo ; and (ii) 50% of shares in PPMC from Pantanomo (the “Transaction”), for the aggregate purchase price of EUR 24,300,000 (twenty four million three hundred thousand euros), adjusted for (i) the amount of working capital of the JV Companies at the Transaction closing date, and (ii) the total office and retail usable floor area actually constructed on the property as part of the Project.

The acquisition of shares in the JV Companies by HBR will be subject to the satisfaction of, among other, conditions precedent such as: (i) a clearance of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) for HBR and Pantanomo to establish a joint venture, and (ii) an in-kind contribution of the property by PPCIII to PPCII to cover the shares in an increased share capital of this company (“Conditions Precedent”).

The Company notes that the commencement of the Project, in addition to the Conditions Precedent being satisfied, will require, as a next step, relevant building permits. Therefore, the exact milestones and costs of the Project implementation will be specified by the Shareholders in the Business Plan at a later date.
