The signing of the Agreement was preceded by signing the “Shareholders Agreement on the Purchase of Shares in Polkomtel from TDC Mobile International A/S and Taking Joint Actions Aimed at Disposing of All Shares Held in Polkomtel ” between KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., PKN Orlen S.A., PSE and Węglokoks , as shareholders in Polkomtel

As a result of a so-called Change of Ownership in relation to TDC Mobile International A/S, the other shareholders of Polkomtel S.A. (including Vodafone Americas Inc.) have obtained, in accordance with §12.14 of the Statute of Polkomtel S.A., the right to acquire a total of 4,019,780 shares held by TDC Mobile International A/S in Polkomtel S.A., in a proportion equal to the percentage of the shares held by each shareholder in Polkomtel S.A., other than the shares held by TDC Mobile International A/S. The purchase offer was delivered by TDC Mobile International A/S to the remaining shareholders on February 8, 2006.  The Agreement has been executed in result of the execution of the acquisition right of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., PKN Orlen S.A., PSE and Węglokoks with respect to the shares referred to in the offer by TDC Mobile International A/S. There is a dispute between Vodafone Americas Inc. and TDC Mobile International A/S connected with this offer and in connection with such dispute the injunction of February 24, 2006 as described below has been instituted.

Pursuant to the Agreement, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. may acquire 980,486 shares in Polkomtel S.A., representing approximately 4.78% of the share capital of Polkomtel S.A., for a purchase price not exceeding EUR 214.04 per share (the equivalent of PLN 832.72 pursuant to fixing rates list No 50/A/NBP/2006 of March 10, 2006), and an aggregate purchase price not exceeding EUR 209,863,223.44 (the equivalent of PLN 816,472,870.79). Upon KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., PKN Orlen S.A., PSE and Węglokoks acquiring the shares pursuant to the Agreement, together with already-held shares, the said entities will hold in aggregate more than 75% of the total number of shares of Polkomtel

The parties agreed to vote at any General Meeting of the Polkomtel S.A. in favor of dividends distributed to the shareholders as allowed under the applicable laws from the retained net profits for years preceding 2005, 100% net profit of Polkomtel S.A. generated for years 2005 and 2006 and at least 50% of the net profit generated for any subsequent financial year. The amount of dividend paid out to the seller reduced by the interest on the maximum purchase price may result in the reduction of effective purchase price of shares.

The Agreement has been executed subject to the following condition precedent: the expiry or cancellation with respect to the shares covered by the Agreement of the injunction instituted by the District Court in Warsaw on February 24, 2006 or absence of any other injunction instituted by any other judiciary authority (or any other measure of a similar nature) prohibiting a transfer of shares in Polkomtel S.A. covered by the Agreement by TDC Mobile International A/S.

Pursuant to the Agreement, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., PKN Orlen S.A., PSE S.A. and Węglokoks S.A. as the purchasers have the right not to purchase the shares of Polkomtel S.A. if by March 10, 2009 (or such other date as the parties may agree) the abovementioned condition precedent is not fulfilled, or until that date other circumstances exist related to the disputes between Vodafone Americas Inc. and TDC Mobile International A/S that may constitute an obstacle for the purchase from TDC Mobile International A/S of the shares covered by the Agreement, as a result of which the Agreement shall terminate as of that date.

By executing the “Shareholders Agreement on the Purchase of Shares in Polkomtel S.A. from TDC Mobile International A/S and Taking Joint Actions Aimed at Disposal of All Shares Held in Polkomtel S.A.”, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., PKN Orlen S.A., PSE S.A. and Węglokoks S.A. terminated the “Shareholders Agreement on Cooperation in Restructuring the Engagement of Polish Shareholders in Polkomtel S.A.” of July 2005, as amended.
