Regulatory filing

Management Board of Agora S.A. with its seat in Warsaw ("Agora", "Company"), with reference to the current reports: no. 1/2019 of 25 January 2019, 3/2019 of 20 February 2019, 27/2019 of 18 September 2019 and 39/2020 of 10 November 2020, informs that on 7 January 2021, the Company learned from the official website uokik.gov.pl about issuing a decision of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection ("President of UOKiK”) to prohibit the concentration consisting of taking control by the Company over Eurozet Sp. z o.o.
The company disagrees with the merits of the decision of the President of UOKiK. In the opinion of the Company, the decision was issued in breach of anti-monopoly regulations and administrative proceedings. Additionally, the decision does not take into account the evidence, in particular the economic analyzes presented by the Company. Therefore, Agora will take all actions provided for by law in this matter. The decision of the President of UOKiK is not yet final and the Company will appeal against the decision to the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection within one month from the date of its delivery.
