The Issuer's Supervisory Board, in Resolution No. 01/08/2023/RN dated August 24, 2023, approved the conclusion of a related party transaction consisting of: (i) acquisition by the Issuer of the Subscribed Shares in exchange for the Non-Cash Contribution, (ii) the Issuer's submission of a statement on the acquisition of the Acquired Shares, and (iii) the conclusion by the Issuer and CCC.eu of an agreement on the transfer of rights to the Non-Cash Contribution.

August 31, 2023. The Issuer made a declaration on acquisition of the Enrolled Shares in exchange for an In-kind contribution with the value of PLN 237,014,599.00 and concluded an agreement with CCC.eu on the transfer of rights to the In-kind contribution to cover the Acquired Shares in the increased share capital of CCC.eu.

August 31, 2023. CCC Factory made a declaration of acquisition of the Enrolled Shares of CCC Factory in exchange for CCC Factory's in-kind contribution with a value of PLN 109,768,414.00 and concluded an agreement with CCC.eu on the transfer of rights to CCC Factory's in-kind contribution to cover the Subscribed Shares of CCC Factory in the increased share capital of CCC.eu.

Each of the transactions in question was considered by the Issuer's Management Board to be material due to the value exceeding 5% of the total assets of the Issuer (for the CCC.eu Contribution transaction) and CCC Factory (for the CCC Factory Contribution transaction), respectively, within the meaning of the Accounting Act of September 29, 1994, as determined based on the latest approved financial statements of the Issuer and CCC Factory, respectively. To determine the market value of the transactions in question, appraisals of the market value of the subject of the CCC Factory Contribution and the CCC Factory Contribution were prepared at the request of the Issuer. The value of the Contribution in Kind and the Contribution of CCC Factory was estimated using the multiplier method and the asset method. The Acquired Shares and the Acquired Shares of CCC Factory were acquired at the value resulting from the valuations.

The conclusion of the transactions in question is justified by the interests of the Company and non-affiliated shareholders, including minority shareholders, because both in-kind contributions are aimed at transferring the logistics division functioning so far within the Issuer and CCC Factory to CCC.eu, which will concentrate the activities of the logistics division of the entire CCC S.A. Capital Group. Following the acquisition of the logistics division by CCC.eu, CCC Factory will cease operations and will be acquired under Article 492 § 1(1) of the Commercial Companies Code by the Issuer.
