The following entities are eligible to participate in the Offering:

  • Qualified Retail Investors and
  • Institutional Investors

Principles for Retail Investors and Qualified Retail Investors to submit subscriptions and the maximum price

For Retail Investors the number of shares in a subscription may not be lower than 1 or higher than 1,500 Offered Shares. In turn, Qualified Retail Investors may subscribe for no less than 1 and no more than 6,000 Offered Shares. Submitting a subscription for shares in the Qualified Retail Investors category does not rule out filing a subscription in the Retail Investors category. Similarly, submitting a subscription in the Retail Investors category does not rule out submitting a subscription in the Qualified Retail Investors category. Subscriptions in both Retail Investors categories will be accepted at the maximum price. Retail Investors and Qualified Retail Investors have the right to file just one subscription in a single category.

In the Retail Investors category a subscription for more than 1,500 Offered Shares will be treated as a subscription for 1,500 Offered Shares, while in the Qualified Retail Investors category a subscription for more than 6,000 Offered Shares will be treated as a subscription for 6,000 Offered Shares. In both categories, if an investor submits more than one subscription in the same investors category, the subscription for the largest number of Offered Shares will be treated as the sole subscription. In the same investors category, if an Retail Investor or Qualified Retail Investor submits more than one subscription for the same number of Offered Shares, the subscription submitted first to the WSE system will be treated as the sole subscription.

Sale price

The sale price for Retail Investors, Qualified Retail Investors and Institutional Investors will be set on the date of completing the book-building process among Institutional Investors, i.e. on 3 December 2013.

The sale price for Institutional Investors may exceed the Maximum Price. The sale price for Individual Investors may not exceed the Maximum Price. If the Institutional Investors’ Sale Price is not higher than the Maximum Price, the Retail Investors and Qualified Retail Investors will acquire the Offered Shares at a price equal to the Sale Price for Institutional Investors.

Number of shares sold

The final number of shares sold will be determined on the date of setting the sale price for the Offered Shares, i.e. 3 December 2013. The number of Offered Shares for Retail Investors will be the lower of the following numbers: (i) 15% of the Final Total Number of Offered Shares and Over Allotment Option (rounded down to the nearest integer) and (ii) the number of Offered Shares for which Retail Investors submit valid subscriptions. The number of Offered Shares for Qualified Retail Investors will be the lower of the following numbers: (i) 7,076,103 Offered Shares and (ii) the number of Offered Shares for which Qualified Retail Investors submit valid subscriptions.

The Selling Shareholder reserves the discretionary right to increase the numbers referred to in items (i) in the preceding paragraphs by no more than 7,076,103 Offered Shares, bringing the total final number of Offered Shares for Retail Investors and Qualified Retail Investors up to 35,380,516 Offered Shares. This number may be increased with respect to one of the two investors categories or both of them, in any case by no more than a total of 7,076,103 Offered Shares. Decisions will be made separately for each investors category. The number of Offered Shares for Retail Investors and Qualified Retail Investors may be increased only if Retail Investors or Qualified Retail Investors submit valid subscriptions for Offered Shares for more Offered Shares than stated in items (i) in the paragraph above, respectively. The Selling Shareholder may make the decision(s) with respect to Qualified Retail Investors at the latest prior to the publication of the information on the final number of Offered Shares in the Offering and on the final number of Offered Shares to be offered to various investor categories. The Selling Shareholder may make this (these) decision(s) with respect to Retail Investors at the same time as setting the final number of Offered Shares to be offered in the Offering and the final number of Offered Shares to be offered to various investor categories.

ENERGA is one of the largest sellers of energy coming from renewable energy sources (“RES”) in Poland.

The ENERGA Group is one of the three largest sellers of electricity in Poland in terms of the quantity of energy sold to end-customers, with a market share of nearly 17% as at the end of December 2012.

The generation capacity installed in the Group’s power plants is based on diversified sources of energy, such as coal, water, wind and biomass. The total generation capacity installed in the Group’s power plants is 1.3 GW. The Group has the greatest share of electricity generated from RES in total electricity generated among key power groups operating on the Polish market. Green energy is generated in 46 run-of-river hydro power plants, wind farms and biomass firing installations.

In 2012 the Group’s sales of electricity to end-customers was 20.5 TWh, whilst the volume of electricity sold on the wholesale market was 5.4 TWh. In this period the Group’s gross electricity production was 4.1 TWh. During the nine month period ended 30 September 2013, the Group’s sales of electricity to end-customers was 13.6 TWh while on the wholesale market it was 7.8 TWh. Gross electricity production totaled 3.8 TWh.

In 2012, the Group generated sales revenues of PLN 11.2 billion, EBITDA* of PLN 1.6 billion, and net profit of PLN 456 million. During the nine month period ended 30 September 2013, the Group’s revenues were PLN 8.5 billion, while EBITDA* was PLN 1.5 billion and net profit was PLN 598 million.

* The EBITDA presented in this communication is defined and calculated by the Company as operating profit/(loss) (calculated as net profit/(loss) on continuing operations for the financial period/year adjusted for (i) income tax, (ii) share in profits of associates, (iii) financial income and (iv) finance costs) adjusted for depreciation and amortisation (as disclosed in the profit and loss account). EBITDA is not an IFRS measure and should not be treated as an alternative to IFRS measures. Moreover, EBITDA is not uniformly defined. The method of calculating EBITDA used by other companies may differ significantly from that used by the Company. As a consequence, the EBITDA presented herein cannot, as such, be relied upon for the purpose of comparison to other companies.
