Agreements concluded between the issuer and managing persons

Within the meaning of § 2 clause 1 item 30a of the Decree of the Minister of Finance of 19 February 2009 on current and periodical information submitted by issuers of securities and the conditions of considering as equivalent the information required by law of a non-member country (Journal of Laws No. 33, item 259 with subsequent amendments), members of the Management Board are persons managing the Bank.

In 2013, two agreements were signed with each of the Management Board’s members, providing for compensation in the case of their resignation or dismissal: 

  • an employment contract providing for severance pay of three monthly basic salaries, 
  • a non-competition agreement, providing for damages for failure to comply with the noncompetition requirement during 6 months after termination of the employment relation, amounting to 100% of the monthly basic salary received before termination of the employment relation, to be paid monthly in arrears during the non-competition period.

As at 7 November 2012 – due to the necessity of adaptation of the principles for remunerating Management Board members to the provisions of the Resolution No. 258/2011 of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority of 4 October 2011 on detailed principles for the functioning of the risk management system and internal control system and detailed terms of estimating internal capital by banks and reviewing the process of estimating and maintaining internal capital and the principles for determining the variable salary components policy for persons holding managerial positions at the bank (further: the Resolution No. 258/2011 of the PFSA) - the principles for remunerating Management Board members of PKO Bank Polski SA were changed in the area of additional benefits and the variable salary components. A consequence of this was appropriate change in employment contracts, which was made in December 2012. Amended principles for remunerating Management Board members will be applicable starting from the payment of salaries for the year 2012.
