Article 4

Variable components of remuneration and award criteria

  1. Members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to variable remuneration. The amounts of variable remuneration and the detailed disbursement criteria are set by the Supervisory Board as specified below. The disbursement principles of variable remuneration are uniform for all members of the Management Board.
  2. Variable remuneration is subject solely to compliance with financial conditions. The amount of variable remuneration is not subject to any non-financial criteria, including those related to social interests.
  3. Members of the Management Board are entitled to:
    1. an annual bonus for the generation of the budgeted net profit of the AB S.A.

Capital Group (hereinafter: "annual bonus").

    1. an annual bonus for the generation of the net profit in excess of the budget of the AB S.A. Capital Group (hereinafter: "special bonus").
  1. The annual bonus of each member of the Management Board is equal to 39 % of their respective annual base remuneration.
  2. The annual bonus is disbursed quarterly on the basis of the actual generation of the budgeted profit of the AB S.A. Capital Group cumulatively if the actually generated profit constitutes minimum 60 % of the budgeted profit. The bonus payable is a fraction of the potential bonus calculated as a ratio of the actual profit to the budgeted profit. The annual bonus is split into quarters as follows: 20% for each the first, second and third quarter and 40% for the fourth quarter. For each consecutive quarter, the bonus is calculated cumulatively with the bonus disbursed in the previous quarters of the year in relation to the actual cumulated profit. The annual bonus payable is not refundable.
  3. The special bonus is payable if the budgeted profit of the AB S.A. Capital Group is over-performed and amounts up to 15% of the surplus of the actual net profit over the budgeted profit. The special bonus is distributed among members of the Management Board pro-rata to their base remuneration. The special bonus is payable solely for profit generated on an annual basis in compliance with the audited results of the AB S.A. Capital Group.
  4. The Supervisory Board approves the procedure of calculation and approval of monies payable.
  5. The award criteria of variable components of remuneration are determined with the features of the sector in which the Company operates. The sector is very competitive and characterised with major changes, in particular in the sphere of the distributed products and services. Therefore, it was accepted that making the variable components of remuneration subject to annual financial results for each financial year is the most appropriate criterion to assess the work of the Management Board in the Company's most competitive and changing market environment while consolidating the Company's market position in the future.

Article 5

Legal basis underlying the functions of members of the Management Board and of the

Supervisory Board

  1. Employment contracts, managerial contracts or other civil law contracts are concluded with members of the Management Board which set forth mutual rights and obligations of the parties. Contracts with members of the Management Board may be concluded for an unspecified period of time.
  2. Contracts with members of the Management Board shall set forth termination conditions thereof; however, the notice period may not be shorter than 6 months and longer than 12 months.
  3. Contracts with members of the Management Board shall contain provisions prohibiting members of the Management Board getting involved in competitive activities both during the term thereof and after the termination of the contract for 14 months; for compliance with the non-competition clause, members of the Management Board shall be entitled to monthly remuneration equivalent to their average monthly remuneration calculated on the basis of the annual remuneration received by such employee in the financial year preceding the year in which the employment contract was terminated - however, no less than the amount of monthly fixed remuneration set forth in the employment contract.
  4. A resolution approved by the Supervisory Board may specify situations whereby

members of the Management Board may be entitled to severance pay in connection with such termination and the amount of such severance pay which may not be higher than 12-month monthly remuneration of such member of the Management Board.

  3. Members of the Supervisory Board are paid remuneration on the basis o appointment by the General Meeting throughout their term of office which is determined on the basis of the Code of Commercial Companies and the Company's Articles of Association.

Article 6

Decision process to develop, implement and review of the Remuneration Policy

  1. The Management Board develops a draft of the Remuneration Policy and submits it to the Supervisory Board for opinion and acceptance.
  2. After acceptance by the Supervisory Board, the draft of the Remuneration Policy is submitted to the General Meeting for approval in a resolution. The resolution on the Remuneration Policy shall be taken no less than every four years.
  3. The Management Board is responsible for implementing the Remuneration Policy.
  4. The Company operates in a very competitive market. The Company employs people from various sectors - sales people, IT specialists, warehouse managers or administrative staff. Each sector is characterised with its specific features, remuneration levels and availability of candidates for work. For those reasons, the Company pursues an active policy related to work and pay conditions of its employees so that it follows the requirements of the labour market. Thus, considering the specific features of the Company's business, it is not justifiable to compare or average the conditions of work and pay of the Company's employees in order to provide for them in the development of this Remuneration Policy. Therefore, the development of the Remuneration Policy was based primarily on assuring remuneration adequate for functions, in particular to maintain adequate proportions between fixed and variable remuneration (related to the Company's performance and situation) instead of comparing those conditions to the work and pay conditions of the other employees.

Article 7

Measures taken to avoid conflicts of interest related to the remuneration policy or to

manage such conflicts of interest

  1. Conflicts of interest related to the Remuneration Policy are prevented by a split of competencies in setting the rules and amounts of remuneration that is provided for in the Code of Commercial Companies, this Policy and in the "Best Practice of GPW Listed Companies 2016".
  2. If a likelihood of a conflict of interest is identified in relation to the issues covered with the Policy by a person subject to the Policy, such person shall report the event to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee (then the Chairperson of the Audit Committee will report the case to the Chairperson of the Supervisory Board).
  3. The Audit Committee shall initiate a procedure to update the Policy or the resultant detailed rules of remuneration in order to eliminate or prevent any conflicts of interest.
  4. If such potential conflict of interest is related to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee

or any members thereof, the procedure referred to in Art. 7.3 shall be initiated by the Supervisory Board.

Article 8

Final provisions

  1. This Policy shall be valid from the date it is approved by the General Meeting.
  2. The remuneration conditions of members of the Management Board and members of the Supervisory Board in connection with their respective functions in the Company's bodies, in force before the approval of this Policy, in particular those set forth in their respective employment contracts and in resolutions of the Supervisory Board, shall remain valid after the effective date of this Policy to the extent they are compliant with the rules set forth in this Policy.
