Remuneration Policy

for the Management Board and Supervisory Board

Members of Cyfrowy Polsat S.A.

PART I

COMMON PROVISIONS

Justification for the implementation of the Policy and the accomplishment of the Company's goals

  1. The Policy has been established to fulfill the obligations imposed on the Company by Article 90c and subsequent articles of the Act on Public Offering and Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organized Trading and Public Companies of 29 July 2005 (Journal of Law of 2019, item 623 with subsequent amendments).
  2. The Policy's aim is to ensure sustained growth of the Company's value whose achievement by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board requires, among others, setting up of a relevant structure of remuneration of the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board on account of their overall duties. The aim is accomplished by restricting the remuneration of these individuals to a fixed part, allowing them to perform their duties concerning the overall operations of the Company, without focusing on the pursuit of selected specific goals only. Volatility of market, social and economic situation as well as the need for flexible response to the emerging risks and business opportunities provide no justification for setting fixed goals. The required flexible response to the changing situation and to the emerging challenges is assured - in the case of Management Board Members - by potential bonuses that can be awarded to them. Such a solution offers flexibility in terms of assuring stable operation of the Company and its long-term interests.
  3. The form in which the Policy has been developed accounts for the specific nature of remuneration of the Company's employees and the structure of that remuneration by assuring that the terms of the remuneration are justified by the scopes of obligations and responsibilities of the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board which are associated with the roles that these individuals play in the Company.

Implementation of the Policy, rules of supervision and review of the Policy

  1. The Policy has been adopted by the General Meeting of the Company on the basis of the draft resolution of the General Meeting proposed by the Management Board, while accounting for the opinion of the Supervisory Board's Remuneration Committee.
  2. The Remuneration Policy is adopted by the General Meeting not less frequently than once every four years.
  3. The supervision of implementation of the Policy is exercised by the Supervisory Board who subjects the Policy to a comprehensive review at least once a year and assesses the functioning of the Remuneration Policy from the point of view of accomplishment of its aims and fulfillment of its provisions. Once a review of the Remuneration Policy is completed, the Supervisory Board submits to the Management Board its potential recommendations as regards the motion to be

proposed to the General Meeting with a view to adopt any essential amendments of the Policy. Upon obtaining the Supervisory Board's opinion, the Management Board may put forward a motion for amending the Policy to the General Meeting.

Managing the conflict of interest

  1. To avoid conflict of interest associated with the Remuneration Policy, the competencies related to the adoption, application and verification of the Remuneration Policy have been divided among respective governing bodies of the Company. A Management Board Member or a Supervisory Board Member is obligated to notify the Company of any conflict of his/her interests and the Company's interests, or of potential emergence of such a conflict.
  2. A Management Board Member or a Supervisory Board Member should refrain from expressing opinions and voting on a resolution concerning a Remuneration Policy-related matter in connection with which there has emerged or may emerge such a conflict of interest.
  3. Conflict of interest may emerge in particular if:
    1. a Management Board Member or a Supervisory Board Member could obtain benefits or avoid loss related to their remuneration as a result of loss incurred by the Company, or
    2. the financial interest of Management Board Member or a Supervisory Board Member, as expressed by the amount of the remuneration or the terms on which the remuneration is awarded, is contradictory to the interest of the Company itself.
