In addition, on 3 July 2023, the Parties entered into the Final Agreement under which the Company acquired the PAK-PCE Shares from ZE PAK. The final price for the PAK-PCE Shares after all adjustments referred to above amounted to PLN 117,025,296.00.

In addition, as a continuation of the strategy outlined in current report no. 36/2021 of 20 December 2021, on 3 July 2023 the Company and Tobe Investments Group Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Cyprus, with its registered office in Limassol ("Tobe"), entered into a share purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired from Tobe 4,705 shares in Pantanomo Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Cyprus, with its registered office in Limassol ("Pantanomo"), representing approx. 32% of Pantanomo's share capital ("Pantanomo Shares") ("Transaction 2").
