Text of the delayed Inside Information:

With reference to ongoing report No. 8/2021, the Management Board of the Company would like to inform whom it may concern that as part of the ongoing review of strategic options the Management Board of the Company took a decision on 18 October 2021 about a conclusion together with the remaining shareholders of Divante of an exclusivity agreement with Cloudflight concerning negotiations of the terms and conditions of the sale of 100% of shares in the share capital of Divante to Cloudflight. The said decision is a result of the Company’s analyses concerning the possibilities of potential sale of shares held in Divante, discussions with prospective investors interested in such a transaction and an analysis of offers received from interested investors.

In the assessment of the Company’s Management Board., the offer submitted by Cloudflight is attractive to the shareholders and favourable from the perspective of Divante. Under its offer, Cloudflight presented a total valuation of the goodwill for 100% of shares in Divante at PLN 195.7 million. The valuation is based on certain defined assumptions, including, without limitation. EBITDA made by Divante in 2021 equal to PLN 16 million and zero net debt of Divante as at the date of transaction closure. Currently, the Company holds 51.03% of shares in the share capital of Divante.

The Exclusivity Agreement stipulates an exclusivity period until 17 December 2021 (inclusive) or until an earlier termination of negotiations by the parties. The exclusivity Agreement comprises the parties’ obligation to undertake in that period activities aimed at reaching pre-defined milestones, including, but not limited to, a completion of the due diligence process or a development of transaction documentation.

At the same time, the Company’s Management Board informs whom it may concern that it did not take any binding decisions as to the implementation of the proposed transaction and the result of negotiations in the case is uncertain.
