The remaining part of profit in the amount of PLN 1 488 378 381.04 will be allocated to the reserve capital of the Company, and will be used to realise investment projects assumed in the Company Budget and to stabilise its financial position in a situation characterised by highly variable macroeconomic parameters.

The Management Board will submit its proposal to the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The results of the evaluation of the Supervisory Board will be announced on the Company’s website.
