With reference to Current Report No. 37/2013 of 12 June 2013 on concluding an agreement with Nordea Bank AB (publ), a company registered in Sweden, concerning the acquisition by PKO Bank Polski S.A. (the “Bank”, “Offeror”) of shares in Nordea Bank Polska S.A. (“Nordea Bank Polska”), Nordea Polska Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń na Życie S.A. and Nordea Finance Polska S.A. (the “Agreement”), the Bank announces that by 16 October 2013 had not been fulfilled the legal prerequisite specified in pt. 24 (iii) of the public tender offer for shares in Nordea Bank Polska announced by the Offeror on 19 June 2013 (the “Public Tender Offer”), included in the Public Tender Offer on the basis of the provisions of the Agreement, i.e. by the date stated above had not been issued and delivered to the Bank a decision by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (the “PFSA”) confirming that there is no objection to the acquisition by the Bank the shares of Nordea Bank Polska in a number resulting in exceeding a 50% stake in the share capital and the total number of votes at the general meeting of Nordea Bank Polska (the “Shares”) and that the statutory deadline for delivering a decision containing the PFSA’s objection to such acquisition has not passed.

Therefore, acting on the basis of Paragraph 7 item 3 point 1b of the Regulation on Forms of Public Tender Offers for Acquisition or Exchange of Shares in Public Companies, Detailed Rules for their Announcement and Conditions of Purchase of Shares under Such Public Tender Offers, of 19 October 2005, the Bank decided to extend the period for accepting subscriptions in the Public Tender Offer for Shares to 25 November 2013 inclusive. The following deadlines specified in the Public Tender Offer are changed:

The Bank expects that the aforementioned legal prerequisite of the Public Tender Offer will be fulfilled by the 16th day of the last month of the extended period for accepting subscriptions in the Public Tender Offer, i.e. by 16 November 2013, which deadline can be extended to 6 December 2013 if the aforementioned legal prerequisite of the Public Tender Offer is not fulfilled in the expected time.

The Offeror abides by its intention to acquire all shares in Nordea Bank Polska after the prerequisites specified in the Public Tender Offer  have been fulfilled.
