The amount of the payment for Offered Shares shall be transferred to the bank account of the Offering Agent number 98 1060 0076 0000 3300 0051 1731, accepting subscription order. Payment from particular Investor (both Retail and Institutional, jointly named as “Investors”) should be made from appropriate bank account. This Investor should be the owner or co-owner of above bank account.

 

In the event of the Offering cancelation or any other situation, which will cause the necessity to return payments to the Investors, the Offering Agent will return whole amount of payments to all Investors. The return will be done on appropriate Investor’s bank account indicated by particular Investor within 7 business days from informing by the Offering Agent of the Offering cancelation or other situation, which will cause the necessity to return payments to the Investors. The payments shall be returned without any reimbursement for costs incurred by the Investors in the course of subscribing for Offered Shares, and be net of all transfer expenses and without interest.

 

All payments for Offered Shares by the Investors may be made only in PLN.

A subscription placed without any payment will be invalid. A subscription placed with partial payment will be valid with respect to such number of Offered Shares for which payment has been made.

 

Investors who were initially allocated Offered Shares are obliged to pay the Offer Price with respect of such Offered Shares not later than on the last day of subscription period for Institutional Investors. The amount of the payment should be equal to the multiple of the number of Offered Shares for which the Investor is placing the subscription order at the Offer Price.
