Amending the Exchange Rules (Communiqué)

COMMUNIQUÉ

of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Management Board

dated 31 October 2024

The Exchange Management Board announces that the Polish Financial Supervision Authority has approved the amendments to the Exchange Rules adopted by Resolution No. 80/2150/2024 of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Supervisory Board dated 23 July 2024 amending the Exchange Rules.

The amendments introduce new solutions to the Exchange Rules in connection with the planned extension of the range of services provided by GPW to exchange members to include processing of share purchase transactions. Consequently, the amendments will enable two types of transactions in exchange-traded shares on the regulated market:

• the issuer’s own shares purchase transactions, purchased based on an invitation to offer shares for sale or an announcement to the same effect other than a tender offer;
• shares purchase transactions by an entity other than the issuer of the shares, purchased based on an invitation to offer shares for sale or an announcement to the same effect other than a tender offer.

The amendments to the Exchange Rules referred to above come into force on 15 November 2024.

Furthermore, on 31 October 2024, the Exchange Management Board approved the relevant amendments to the Detailed Exchange Trading Rules and the Alternative Trading System Rules, which come into force on 18 November 2024.
