  1. the Bank’s intention, confirmed by the resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 23 April 2021, to engage in voluntary settlements with consumers who signed mortgage loans in foreign currencies with the Bank that results in changes in the assessment methodology and quantification of legal risk, which will increase its costs by approximately PLN 5.6 billion;
