BOGDANKA S.A. (the “Company”) on general terms, which resulted in eligible persons obtaining the right to free of charge acquisition of series B shares (the “Shares” or “Series B Shares”). The currently ongoing process of making the Shares available free of charge will end on 9 March 2012.*
In view of the deadline for the lock-up restrictions, elapsing on 8 December 2011, the Management Board of the Company took the necessary steps to enable trading in the indicated Shares on Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. (the “Warsaw Stock Exchange”, the “WSE”).
In particular, on 29 November 2011, an issue prospectus was submitted to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (the “FSA”). Following its approval, which shall occur in January 2012, Series B Shares may be disposed of on the WSE.
It should be remembered that disposal of the Shares on the WSE is conditional upon having an investment (brokerage) account and having the Shares owned by eligible persons deposited therein.
The Shares owned by eligible persons, who at the stage of concluding the agreement with the State Treasury opened investment accounts at Dom Inwestycyjny BRE Banku S.A., will be automatically registered in their investment accounts.
The eligible persons who upon signing the agreement on free of charge acquisition of Shares with the State Treasury failed to open an investment account at Dom Inwestycyjny BRE Banku S.A. may open it and submit an instruction to deposit the owned Shares in that account:
