The Management Board of Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. (the “Company”) announces the conclusion on April 10, 2019 of the Framework Agreement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “EBRD”).

The conclusion of the Framework Agreement is connected with consideration by the EBRD of acquisition of bonds that may be issued by the Company under a program for the issuance of the Company’s bonds with the total maximum nominal value of PLN 1,000,000,000 (one billion) (the “Program”) of the establishment of which the Company informed in the current report No. 8/2019 of 25 March 2019.

The conclusion of the Framework Agreement does not impose any contractual obligation on the EBRD to acquire any Company’s bonds that may be issued by the Company under the Program. Also the Company did not undertake with respect to the EBRD to issue any bonds under the Program. The Company will make its final decision on issuing the bonds under the Program and their terms in a relevant resolution adopted by the Management Board of the Company, of which it will inform in a separate current report.

In the Framework Agreement the Company undertook to act in compliance with the EBRD’s Designated Performance Requirements and anti-corruption guidelines. The Framework Agreement sets out certain obligations of the Company, in particular with respect to incurring within a period of seven years from the date of the potential acquisition by the EBRD of the Company’s bonds, capital expenditures for investments in energy efficiency improvements in Poland in the amount of at least equivalent of 50% of the nominal value of the Company’s bonds that would be acquired by the EBRD.

The Framework Agreement will expire on the terms and conditions set forth therein, if the EBRD does not acquire any Company’s bonds. It will also expire if the stake of the Company’s bonds held by the EBRD will decrease below the value set forth in the Framework Agreement.
