According to the Resolution of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting No. 3/2011 dated on 14 April 2011 on amending the Memorandum of Association of PKO Bank Polski SA, the decrease in share of the State Treasury in the equity of Bank (maximum up to 25%) will not lead to limiting the control of the State Treasury over the Bank’s strategic decisions.

On 31 January 2013 PKO Bank Polski SA received notification from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (‘BGK’) and the Minister of the State Treasury of selling off a considerable block of shares on 24 January 2013, through the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) in block transactions. As a result of these transactions BGK sold all of the Bank’s shares held (128 102 731 shares), which constituted 10.25% of the share capital and the total number of votes at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of the Bank, whereas the State Treasury sold 25 000 000 of 417 406 277 Bank’s shares held (which amounted to 2.00% of the share capital and the total number of votes at the General Shareholder’s Meeting of the Bank).

29 January 2013 Aviva OFE held 83 952 447 Bank’s shares representing 6.72% of share capital and the total number of votes at the Bank’s General Shareholders’ Meeting.

On 1 March 2013 the Bank received a copy of a letter from the Ministry of State Treasury (‘MSP’) sent to MSP by BGK, informing that with reference to the sale of all the Bank’s shares held by BGK and thus the loss of the Bank’s shareholder Status by BGK., the Agreement on cooperation in the joint exercise of corporate governance (joint control) over the Bank concluded on 21 April 2010 between the State Treasury and BGK ceased to be binding.
