The Management Board of mBank S.A. (hereinafter the “Bank”) announces that on 29 August 2018, the District Court for the capital city of Warsaw, 12th Commercial Division of the National Court Register, registered amendments to the By-laws of mBank S.A. arising from Resolution No. 32 adopted by the 31st Annual General Meeting of mBank S.A. on 12 April 2018 (amendments to §§ 11, 17, 20, 22, 31a, 34 and 47 of the By-laws of the Bank) and Resolution No. 38 adopted by the 31st Annual General Meeting of mBank S.A. on 9 May 2018 (amendment to § 34a of the By-laws of the Bank).

 

Please be informed that among amendments to the By-laws registered on 29 August 2018, an amendment to § 34a concerns a conditional increase of the share capital by PLN 3,736,000 (three million seven hundred thirty six thousand) by way of issue of 934,000 (nine hundred thirty four thousand) ordinary bearer shares with a face value of PLN 4.00 (four) each.

Registration of the conditional share capital increase does not change the amount of the share capital of the Bank. Currently the share capital of the Bank amounts to PLN 169,248,488 PLN and is divided into 42,312,122 ordinary registered and bearer shares with a nominal value of PLN 4 per share. The total number of votes at the Bank’s General Meeting amounts to 42,312,122 (each share being entitled to one vote).

 

Moreover, please be informed that the entry to the register of entrepreneurs regarding amendments registered on 29 August 2018 indicates registration of an amendment to § 31a section 1 of the By-laws of the Bank. According to Resolution No. 32 adopted by the 31st Annual General Meeting of mBank S.A. on 12 April 2018 and the motion regarding registration of amendments submitted to the District Court for the capital city of Warsaw, 12th Commercial Division of the National Court Register, among other provisions of the By-laws, §31a and § 33 section 1 of the By-laws of the Bank have been included.

It is our opinion that the above-mentioned entry to the register of entrepreneurs of 29 August 2018 contains an obvious typing mistake, consisting in an indication that § 31a section 1 of the By-laws of the Bank has been amended, whereas correctly it should indicate that § 31a and § 33 section 1 of the By-laws of the Bank have been amended.

 

The Bank shall submit a motion regarding correction of the above-mentioned obvious mistake. Nonetheless, taking into consideration the wording of the entry to the register of entrepreneurs of the National Court Register regarding amendments to By-laws of the Bank, a detailed listing of provisions of the By-laws of the Bank which have been amended or added presented below does not include information regarding amendments to § 31a and § 33 section 1 of the By-laws of the Bank.
