"Resolution no. [.]
Pursuant to the § 18 item 2 of the Company's Statute, General Meeting resolves to appoint Mr./Mrs. [.] as the chairman of the Supervisory Board of Agora S.A.

"Resolution no. [.]
Pursuant to Article 395 § 2 point 2, in conection with Article 348 of the Commercial Companies Code and § 38 of the Company's Statute, General Meeintng hereby resolves to:
allocate the total net profit for the fiscal year 2015 in the amount of PLN 13,721,654.78 (say: thirteen million seven hundred twenty one thousand six hundred fifty four zlotys and seventy eight groszy) for the dividend payment for the Company's shareholders,
appropriate the amount of PLN 22,027,414.72 (say: twenty two million twenty seven thousand four hundred fourteen zlotys and seventy two groszy) from the Company's reserve capital for the dividend payment to the Company's shareholders.
Total amount to be paid out in the form of dividend equals PLN 35,749,069.50 (say: thirty five million seven hundred forty nine thousand sixty nine zlotys and fifty groszy) which means that the dividend amounts to PLN 0.75 (say: seventy five groszy) per one share.
Shareholders, who will be entitled to shares of the Company as of the date of July 14, 2016, shall be entitled to receive dividend.
The dividend payment day is August 2, 2016."
Justification: pursuant to Aricle 395 § 2 point 2 of the Commercial Companies Code, the Ordinary General Meeting should adopt a resolution on profit distribution. In the opinion of the Management Board of Agora SA,the Company has sufficient funds to pay a dividend in the amount of PLN 35.7 million, without prejudice to the Company's current operations and planned or initiated development activities.
The payment of higher dividend (PLN 0.75 per share) than provided for in the dividend policy of the Company (PLN 0.50 per share) is related to the fact that the Company could not pay the divident in recent years (due to net loss booked in those years). The payment of the dividend in the amount of PLN 0.75 per share, in combination with the share buyback programs executed in the years 2014 and 2015, should, in the Company's opinion, meet the requirements of the current shareholders expecting a return on investment in shares of the Company, thus enabling the Company to broaden the group of investors.
The Management Board sustains the will to implement dividend policy in the future (PLN 0.50 per share) adopted by the Company on February 11th, 2005. Resolution on profit distribution in accordance with Article 348 § 3 of the Commercial Companies Code should also specify the date on which the shareholders become entitled to dividend ('the dividend date') and the dividend payment date. Taking into account the applicable laws and regulations of the Stock Exchange and the National Depository for Securities, the Management Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders set the dividend date on July 14th, 2016, and the dividend payment date on August 2nd, 2016. The proposal of the Management Board regarding the distribution of profit for the fiscal year 2015 received a positive opinion of the Supervisory Board.
