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.

EBITDA is not an IFRS measure and should not be treated as an alternative to IFRS measures. Moreover, EBITDA is not uniformly defined.
