Justification of the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna on the distribution of net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for the year 2010
Presenting a recommendation regarding the distribution of net profit of Bank Pekao S.A. for the year 2010 the Management Board of the Bank has taken the following conditions into account:
a) in December 2010 the solvency ratio of Bank Pekao S.A. reached 17.17% without including the net profit for the year 2010, whereas the solvency ratio of the Group is higher and reached the level of 17.61%; Such a strong capital base ensures the safe position of the Bank even in the case of market volatility, and enables to carry out the development plans;
b) the solvency ratio of the Bank is at a higher level than the average level in the Polish banking sector which is 13.81% (as of December 2010).
According to the above-mentioned recommendation, the dividend will be paid in the amount of 6.80 PLN per one share, which translates into the 70% dividend payout rate of the net income of the Bank for the year 2010. Having included the remaining part of the net income for the year 2010 into the equity, the solvency ratio of Bank Pekao S.A. should amount to 18.04% and the consolidated solvency ratio should reach the level of 18.42%.
The Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A. gave its positive opinion on the motion of the Management Board of the Bank on distribution of the net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for the year 2010 and recommended to the Ordinary General Meeting to adopt the resolution in this matter. The dividend's setting day and the dividend's pay-out day were established in accordance with the legal regulations.
During the voting on the resolution the valid votes were cast out of 202,181,378 (two hundred and two million one hundred eighty one thousand three hundred seventy eight) shares, representing 77.06 % of shares in the share capital.

The Supervisory Board acknowledged the annual report on review of the Procedure concerning the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and approved the updated ICAAP Procedure.
An important issue discussed at the meetings of the Supervisory Board was the capital adequacy and capital management. In this area the Supervisory Board analysed once a quarter the reports on capital management and information on liquidity position of the Bank, and it accepted the following documents: (i) "Capital Management Strategy - 2010", (ii) the updated procedure: "Capital Management at Bank Pekao S.A. - Manual" and (iii) the updated procedure: "Sources of Internal Capital Financing at Bank Pekao S.A."
The Supervisory Board accepted the updated "Information Policy of Bank Pekao S.A." and, in accordance with the assumptions of this Policy, acknowledged the information on disclosures under the III Pillar of the New Capital Accord concerning capital adequacy.
Another issues analyzed by the Supervisory Board included: a motion concerning the Long-term Cash Incentive Program of the UniCredit Group for the years 2010-2012, and the Remuneration Policy of the UniCredit Group, which was adopted to be appropriately applied at Bank Pekao S.A.
Implementing a Resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of the Bank dated 28 April 2010, the Supervisory Board established the uniform text of the Statute of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A.
The plan of activities of the Supervisory Board for 2011 was adopted in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board.
IV. Assessment of reports of the Management Board on activities of the Bank and the Capital Group in 2010, financial statements of the Bank and the Capital Group for 2010, and the motion of the Management Board concerning distribution of the net profit for 2010.
The Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A., acting in accordance with Art. 382 § 3 of the Commercial Companies Code, and performing its statutory duties, assessed the Management Board's reports on the activity of the Bank and the Capital Group in 2010 as well as the financial statements of the Bank and the Capital Group for 2010 in terms of their consistency with the books, documents and the factual state.
As a result of this assessment and having got acquainted with the opinions and reports of the entity authorised to examine the financial statements - KPMG Audyt Sp. z o.o. - on examination of the financial statement of Bank Pekao S.A. for 2010 and the consolidated financial statement of the Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A. for 2010, the Board issues a positive opinion on the achieved results and recommends to the General Meeting to adopt resolutions approving those statements.
Putting forward this recommendation, the Board took into consideration that:
1) the Bank generated in 2010 the net profit in the amount of 2,552.0 mln PLN; the consolidated net profit of the Bank Pekao S.A. Group totalled 2,525.2 mln PLN, the return on average equity of the Bank was 13.5%, and of the Capital Group 13.1%. The strong capital and liquidity structure of the Group, with the capital adequacy ratio at the end of 2010 amounting to 17.6% and the loans to deposits ratio of 82.7% allow for further stable and safe development of activity,
2) the results achieved in 2010 proved the Bank's strength and its capability to generate high profit. Those results were achieved thanks to the Bank's active operation on the market, which resulted in the increased sale of consumer and mortgage loans as well as in the considerable increase of the volume of deposits,
3) the Bank and the companies belonging to the Group continued the effective costs management as a result of which the operating costs dropped by 0.6%,
4) the Bank effectively managed the credit risk and continued prudent and responsible policy in this respect, maintaining both the quality of portfolio and the cost of credit risk at a better level than the average one in the banking sector.
The Board assessed the motion of the Management Board on the distribution of the profit for 2010.
The Board issued a positive opinion on this motion and taking into consideration the fact that:
a) in December 2010, the solvency ratio of the Bank was 17.2%, whereas the solvency ratio for the Group was 17.6%; this level exceeds more than twice the minimum value of the ratio required by law;
b) the reached solvency ratio proves the capital base is strong and it ensures the safe position of the Bank even in case of the market volatility as well as enables to carry out the development plans,
c) the achieved solvency ratio of Bank Pekao S.A. is at the level higher than the average solvency ratio in the Polish banking sector, which amounts to 13.81% (as in December 2010).
Considering the above-mentioned circumstances, the Supervisory Board decided to recommend to the General Meeting to adopt the resolution on the distribution of the net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. for 2010 in the amount of 2 552 022 461.54 PLN, in accordance with the Management Board's motion, i.e.:
a) the amount of 1,784,639,831.20 PLN earmarked for dividend,
b) the amount of 667,382,630.34 PLN earmarked for reserve capital,
c) the amount of 100,000,000.00 PLN earmarked for the general risk fund for unidentified risk of running banking activity.
In accordance with the above recommendation, the monetary dividend pay-out shall amount 6.80 PLN per share, which translates into the 70 % dividend pay-out of the net income of the Bank for the year 2010.
In accordance with the Best Practices of the WSE Listed Companies, the Supervisory Board assessed the position of the Bank in 2010 and assessed its work in 2010. The documents containing the assessment have been attached to this report.
When assessing the Management Board of the Bank, the Board took into consideration, among other things, the following: (i) good financial results, (ii) the established position in the Polish banking sector in 2010, (iii) high level of the Bank's security, (iv) effectiveness of operational activity, (v) effective and consistent risk management, (vi) structural strength of the balance sheet and capital, (vii) tight costs control, and (viii) effective internal audit.
Bank Pekao S.A. maintained its stable position in face of the international crisis and confirmed its resistance and stability to turmoil on the market. The Bank has solid foundations to take full advantage of the forecasted acceleration of the pace of the economic growth in 2011. The potential worked out by the Bank in 2010 and favourable market trends as well as such elements strengthening the Bank's competitive edge as: (i) scale of the conducted activity, (ii) capital and liquidity structure, (iii) effectively developed network of branches and ATMs, (iv) proper costs management, and (v) effectiveness in managing credit risk, will enable to achieve in 2011 further increase of income and improvement of the key indicators of effectiveness.
In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the potential and solid foundations of Bank Pekao S.A. also provide ground to ensure continuity of the increasing trends towards reaching the position of the best Bank in Poland in terms of profitability and sustainability of results.
Taking into consideration the above, the Supervisory Board recommends to the General Meeting to approve, in accordance with Art. 395 § 2 p. 3 of the Commercial Companies Code, the fulfilment of duties in the year 2010 of the following members of the Management Board: Messrs.

The assessment of situation of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. in 2010, prepared by the Supervisory Board in accordance with the Best Practices of the WSE Listed Companies
The Supervisory Board of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. has assessed positively the results achieved by the Bank and the Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A. in 2010.
The Bank generated a net profit in the amount of 2,552.0 mln PLN; the consolidated net profit of the Bank Pekao S.A. Group totalled 2,525.2 mln PLN, the return on equity of the Bank amounted to 13.5%, and of the Capital Group: 13.1%. A strong capital and liquidity structure of the Group, with the capital adequacy ratio at the end of 2010 amounting to 17.6 %, and the loans to deposits ratio of 82.7% allow for further stable and safe development of activity of the Bank.
The results achieved in 2010 have proved again the Bank's strength and its resistance to economic turmoil. The increasing economic growth, stability on financial markets and lack of significant changes in the monetary policy had positive influence on the Bank's standing and its results. They were achieved by the Bank's focus on business activity which resulted in the 11.7% increase in sale of consumer credits, the 62% increase in PLN mortgage loans, as well as the 2.7% increase in volumes of deposits and structured deposit certificates.
The Bank and the companies of the Group continued the effective costs management as a result of which the operating costs dropped by 0.6 % year-to-year.
Effective risk management is a prerequisite to maintain the funds entrusted to the Bank at a high safety level. The Bank effectively manages the credit risk and continues the prudent and responsible policy in this respect. Thanks to such consistent approach, the deterioration of the credit portfolio of the Bank was considerably lower than the average credit portfolio deterioration in the banking sector, and the credit risk cost confirms the competitive edge of the Bank in this respect. It should be emphasised that the Bank consistently continued the policy of offering mortgage loans only in PLN. The mortgage loans denominated in foreign currencies account only for 7.2% of total credit portfolio of the Bank and almost all of them are the effect of incorporation of a part of Bank BPH in 2007.
The results achieved in 2010 confirm that the Bank safely went through the international financial crisis and confirmed the stability of results by generating a significant net profit. The solid foundations of the Bank proved to be resistant to market turmoil, whereas the conducted policy of sustainable growth enabled Bank Pekao to strengthen its leading position in the sector in terms of profitability, operational effectiveness and risk management.
The activity of the Bank in 2010 gained wide recognition, which is evidenced by the received titles of the best bank in Poland granted by the renowned international financial magazines: Euromoney and Global Finance, as well as numerous awards for achievements in various areas of banking activity.
In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the economic and financial standing of Bank Pekao S.A. is good, it meets all the requirements of safe operation and capital adequacy and it ensures safety of funds entrusted by clients.
The internal control system at Bank Pekao S.A. is based on three levels of control - (i) line controls, (ii) risk management controls, (iii) internal audit - which are assigned to different structures and departments in order to reduce the risk associated with credit, financial and operational activity. The internal control system is characterised by the complete and comprehensive approach. The dedicated structures fully cover the most important risk areas at the above-mentioned three levels of control. The Management Board regularly analyses the reports on activity of the Internal Audit Department and it supervises the implementation of recommendations and suggestions resulting from the performed audits. The Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee approve the plans of internal audit and they consider the periodic reports on activity of the Internal Audit Department. The Supervisory Board assesses well the co-operation with the Internal Audit Department.
The Supervisory Board positively assesses the risks management system in place at the Bank. This system covers the risks resulting from financial instruments, i.e. the credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk (foreign exchange rate risk, currency risk, business risk, own real estate risk, financial investments risk) as well as operating risk and compliance risk. The management of risks has a complete, consolidated nature and it covers all the Bank's units, including subsidiary companies. The credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operating risk are managed by the Risks Management Division supervised by Vice President Mr. Diego Biondo who reports directly to Mr. Luigi Lovaglio, First Vice President of the Management Board. The compliance risk is managed by the Compliance Office supervised by President of the Management Board Mrs. Alicja Kornasiewicz.
The Management Board is responsible for accomplishing the strategic goals concerning risks management, whereas the Supervisory Board exercises supervision of compliance of the Bank's policy in terms of different types of risk with the strategy and financial plan of the Bank.
An important role in risks management is played by the committees operating within the structure of the Bank's Head Office: the Credit Committee of the Bank - in terms of credit risk management, the Assets, Liabilities and Risks Committee - in terms of market and liquidity risks, the Operational Risk Committee and the Bank's Security Committee - in terms of operational risk management. The effective risks management is one of the Bank's strong assets.
As of January 2008 the Bank complies with the regulations established by the supervision authorities introducing the requirements resulting from guidelines of the Basel Committee of Banking Supervision - Basel II. According to the supervisory requirements, the Management Board of the Bank exercises direct supervision of the Bank's adjustment to the requirements of the New Capital Accord (NCA) and is informed about all actions, and their results, connected with implementation of the NCA.
Under the aforementioned actions in 2009, the Bank prepared and submitted applications to the Polish and Italian supervision authorities requesting approval to use by the Bank the statistical methods to calculate the capital requirements resulting from credit risk and operational risk, and this started the process of approval of these methods. The process of assessment of these applications is being carried out by the Polish and Italian supervision authorities.
The Supervisory Board assesses positively the Bank's actions in the above-mentioned respect.
Summing up, the Supervisory Board assesses the position of the Bank as very good and stable. This assessment is justified by: (i) good financial results, (ii) the strengthened in 2010 leadership position in terms of profitability in the Polish banking sector, (iii) high level of the Bank's security, (iv) effectiveness of operational activity, (v) effective and consistent risk management, (vi) the structural strength of balance sheet and capital as well as the strong liquidity structure, (vii) effective costs management and (viii) the effective internal audit.
Bank Pekao S.A. has solid foundations to take full advantage of opportunities arising from the increasing economic growth, stabilization of the situation on the financial markets and further improvement of effectiveness. The Bank's focus on commercial activity, appropriate risks management and cost control guarantee maintenance of profit. The Bank is well prepared for the challenges of the year 2011. It has strong competitive advantage due to the scale of the conducted activity, strong capital and liquidity structure, as well as the strength of balance which is characterised by a high level of capital adequacy ratio and high surplus of deposits in relation to the granted credits.
In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the potential and strong foundations of Bank Pekao S.A. also provide grounds for achievement of good results deserving high appraisal from investors in the current and the following years.

- Financial Committee: Federico Ghizzoni, Alicja Kornasiewicz and Enrico Pavoni.
Following the resignation tendered by Mr. Paolo Fiorentino as of 26 April 2010, the Supervisory Board, at the meeting on 16 June 2010, appointed Mr. Roberto Nicastro as Member of the Audit Committee and Mr. Sergio Ermotti as Member of the Remuneration Committee and the Financial Committee for the period of the current, common term of office of the Supervisory Board.

- Financial Committee: Sergio Ermotti, Federico Ghizzoni and Enrico Pavoni.
The Supervisory Board is organised in a way adequate to the requirements provided for in the Commercial Companies Code, in the Bank's Statute and adequately to the needs of the Bank. The Board is composed of Chairman and two Vice Chairmen. One of the Vice Chairmen, Federico Ghizzoni, performs at the same time the function of Secretary. Having two Vice Chairmen on the Board exerts positive influence upon the Board's work and makes it possible to take decisions effectively in case of absence of Chairman.
The Committees of the Board enhance the Board's work and they guarantee that decisions taken at the Board's meetings are considered after an in-depth analysis of the given case.
According to requirements set forth in § 14 sec. 3 of the Statute, at least one half of members of the Supervisory Board, including Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Messrs J.Woźnicki, P.Dangel, E.Pavoni, L.Pawłowicz and K.Pawłowski possessed testimonials of good knowledge of the banking market in Poland by jointly fulfilling the following criteria:

In the opinion of the Board, the number of independent Supervisory Board members ensures control and appropriate actions in case any conflict of interest occurs. The independent members of the Board are free of any connections that might bear a material impact upon their ability to take impartial decisions and they play an effective role in the key areas of the Board's operation, and particularly in the Audit Committee.
b) Assessment of members of the Supervisory Board, including their work on the Board Committees
In the assessment of the Board, its members have the required knowledge and experience and they devote the necessary time and attention to their duties. In their work they are guided by the interest of the Bank as well as independent judgements and opinions. The Board members come from different environments. Among them there are bankers, representatives of business circles and representatives of the world of science. Such diversity has a positive influence upon the Board's work because it allows viewing the Bank's matters from different perspectives. The composition of the Supervisory Board has the international nature. Among its members there are Poles, Italians and a British citizen. It ensures that different business cultures and different experiences are represented and used in this respect. All the aforementioned features enrich the Board as well as strengthen its independence and effectiveness in exercising supervision of the Bank's activity.

Justification of the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna regarding the amendments of the Statute of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna in 2010
The scope of proposed amendments of the § 6 of the Statute of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna results from the intention to adjust its wording to the literal rendering of Art. 69 section 2 of the Act of 29th August 2005 on Trading in Financial Instruments (Journal of Laws of 2010, no. 211, item 1384, as amended). Pursuant to Art. 31 section 3 point 2 of the Banking Act of 29thAugust 1997 (Journal of Laws of 2002, no. 72, item 665, as amended), Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna specifies in its Statute the scope of activity, including investment activity, in § 6 point 11, 15, 21, 22, 25, 28 of the Bank's Statute. Activities performed by the Bank were defined differently then the literal wording of Art. 69 section 2 of the Act on Trading in Financial Instruments. Due to the above, considering the standpoint of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) presented in its letter sent on 18th May 2010, the Bank proposes to introduce adequate amendments to the contents of § 6 of the Bank's Statute. As a consequence of introducing the proposed amendments the scope of business activity of the Bank shall not be extended. Due to pending proceeding on obtaining the approval of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority for amending the Statute by adding investment advice service, the Bank included investment advice in the wording of the proposed § 6 p. 37 of the Statute.
During the voting on the resolution the valid votes were cast out of 202,181,327 (two hundred and two million one hundred eighty one thousand three hundred twenty seven) shares, representing 77,06 % of shares in the share capital.

Justification of the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna on authorizing the Supervisory Board of the Bank to determine the uniform text of the Statute of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna
Passing a resolution to amend the wording of the Statute of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna requires formulation of the uniform text of the Bank's Statute, including the amendments introduced under this resolution.

Furthermore, both on the day of adoption of the resolution by the General Meeting, as well as after the adoption of the resolution by the General Meeting, the part of the uniform text of the Bank's Statute related to the share capital amount may be modified, due to the possibility of taking up of shares within the conditional increase of the share capital.
