Information on financial and technical parameters of aforementioned projects, Numbers 1-5, as well as information on total expenses on particular investments can be found in p. 6.1.1.5 Part III of the Prospectus, „Registration Document”. o Information related to the investment N 6 i.e. „Galeria Piastów” in Legnica have been presented in p. 5.1.7 and 8.1 Part III of the Prospectus, „Registration Document”. The value of spendings on investment planned by the Issuing Party for the 2010-2012 period equals 500,1 mln PLN in total, and the total amount would be spend on investments in commercial objects. The assets for funding the investment projects planned for the 2010-2012 period, described in p. 5.2.2., 5.2.3 and 8.1.3 Part III of the Prospectus, „Registration Document” will come from: Issue of New Shares – 49 mln PLN; Monetary income from current activities and investments– 52,9 mln PLN; Bank loans – 398,2 mln PLN. The Issuing Party assumes, that the amount of debt funding in funding of all planned development projects will constitute about 70%. The investment goals presented above and spending on these investments are to be executed independently of each other. The Issuing Party plans to implement these goals during the 2010-2012 period. In the opinion of the Issuing Party, the assets obtained by issuing New Shares, complemented with debt financing and own assets from current activities and investments will be enough to reach the goals of the Issue. If the final amount of assets obtained by issuing New Shares will be lower than expected by the Board of the Issuing Party, then the spendings on implementation of issuing goals will be additionally funded from other sources (own assets of the Issuing Party, bank loans or leasing), and even if these funds would be insufficient, then the period of investment program will be prolonged. As of the date of Prospecuts approval, the Issuing Party does not expect the goals of the Issue to be changed. If it turns out, however, that implementation of planned investments will be impossible or ineffective because of any reasons, the Board of the Issuing Party does not reject the possibility of assets transfer between the aforementioned goals of the Issue of Series C Shares or of implementation of other investments. Any potential changes regarding assets transfers wil be made by the virtue of a resolution of the Board of the Issuing Party and immediately announced to the general public. If the resolution on assets transfer would be made before the Series C Shares enter stock circulation, an appropriate information will be given to the general public, also by making an annex to the Prospectus available (which is to be approved by the KNF).

Risk factors related to the environment of business activity of the Issuing Party 1.1. Risk related to macroeconomical and political situation in Poland The income of the Partnership as a whole is related to its activity on the domestic market and thus it indirectly depends on factors resulting from the general, macroeconomic situation of Poland, such as unemployment levels, economic growth rate or inflation rate. Perturbations on international financial markets have influenced the economic situation in Poland. A decline in national economic growth rate has been noted, along with depreciation of PLN related to foreign currencies. The aforementioned macroeconomic tendencies have influenced and can influence the financial status of the Partnership. All future unfavourable changes of one or more aforementioned factors, especially worsening of the condition of Polish economy, currency crisis or public finance crisis, can unfavourably influence the financial results and financial situation of the Partnership. 1.2. Risk of legal regulations change Changes of fegal regulations or different interpretations of the low form a specific risk. Incoherence, lack of uniform interpretation of the law or frequent novelisations carry a huge risk in business activity, especially in the field of ground acquisition and execution of construction investments. The potential changes, especially related to the industrial activity regulations, environmental regulations, labour law and social insurances changes, commercial law (including partnership law and laws regulating the rules of capital market), can lead in a direction which causes negative influence on the activities of the Partnership. Polish law is still in the adaptation phase, a result of Polish accession to the European Union. Changes in Page 22 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus legal regulations related to this process can influence the legal environment of business activities, including that of the partnership. One of the effects of European Union expansion is the need to bring the Polish law to the state of concordance with European legislation. Many acts have been changed and European law regulations are still implemented; these modify existing administration and court procedures and the laws regulating business activitiy, eg. added value tax rates. Bringing new regulation of economic market into effect can also lead to interpretation problems, incoherent court decisions, unfavourable interpretations assumed by the public administration organs, etc. The aforementioned circumstances can have negative effect on the activity, financial conditions or results of the Partnership. 1.3. Risk related to instability of the tax system The tax system in Poland is characterised by a relative instability. Potential, unexpected changes to the business activity related taxes can have a negative effect on the investment and development activity of the Partnership. Besides, there is a risk that the new tax regulations will make the consumer market and the companies less eager to buy real estates. 1.4. Risk related to competition increase The market, in which the Partnership resides, is characterised by a high, and still increasing, level of competition. After Polish accession to the EU, almost all significant European development-investment companies have started their activity, especially those with Irish, English and Dutch capital. This phenomenon has significantly contributed to the sharp increase in competition. The Partnership limits this risk by strengthening its position within current markets, eg., by adding objects such as commercial parks to the existing commercial sites. Additionally, the Partnership may encounter a strong competition even at the stage of ground identification and acquisition. This fact can lead to a sharp increase of ground prices, thus it can negatively influence the return rate of implemented construction investmsnts. In order to limit the risk related to competition, the Partnership constantly performs analyses of the real estate market as well as analyses of competition activity. The Partnership also has the policy of parcel acquisition, assuming their competent and cautious evaluation. 1.5. Currency rate risk A significant part of contracts signed by the Partnership, including rental contracts and loan contracts, is paid with Euro. Although loan contracts are signed in Euro only then, when in the opinion of the Board they are a natural security of fluctuations of rental income denominated in Euro from the investments financed by these loans, one cannot exclude, that currency rate changes in relation to the zloty can have a significant influence on the results of the Partnership. In the period of a significant rise in currency rates, this rise can also positively influence sales income, but also a significantly negative effect on the financial status or results of the Partnership. In the period of significant currency rate drops, this drop can unfavourably influence sales income, but it can also positively influence the financial situation or results of the Partnership. Such instability of the result is limited by the Partnership in the way which is described above, as well as with proper security strategies, agreed with the institution financing a particular project. On the day of Prospectus’ approval, a dependent comapny of the Partnership - E.F. Progress V Sp. z o.o., has a futures st contracted sale of 3.299.554,80 Euro, with the sale rate of 3,5150 PLN/Euro, execution deadline May 31 , 2010. 1.6. Interest rate risk The Partnership widely uses rated external financing sources, such as bonds, construction loans, investment loans, current, non-renewable loans, current revolving loans, loans for capital release from finished investments and loan lines in current account, both in Euro and in PLN. As a consequence, the Partnership is subjected to the risk of variation in interest rates of these debt securities, which have a variable interest rates. In order to limit this risk, the Partnership will perform strategies agreed with financial institutions, leading to limiting this risk, eg. by the use of derivatives to change variable interest rates to fixed interest rates. 1.7. Financial problems of the Partnership customers Perturbations on financial markets and economic slowdown can have a negative influence on financial viability, business activity or financial situation of the Partnership ucstomers, especially entities renting the commercial real estate owned by the Partnership and its dependent companies, as it can have a negative influence on the activity, financial and material situation or the results of the Partnership. 2. Factors specific for the Issuing Party and its market 2.1. Risk related to strategic goals Page 23 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus The Partnership cannot assure that it will reach its strategic goas. The markets, on which the Partnership is active, are subjected to constant changes, the direction and intensity of which depend on many factors. Thus, the future position on the market, material status, as well as income and profits of the Partnership depend on its ability to design and implement a long term strategy as well as on the conditions and trends of the market. Making any missed decisions resulting from a wrong judgement or the inability to adapt to the everchanging market conditions can have negative influence on the results of the Partnership. In order to minimize this risk, the Partnership tries to analyse all key factors for the choice of strategy, both a short term and a long term on, so it is possible to define the direction and intensity of market environment changes as precisely as possible. 2.2. Risk related to the increase of current costs and other costs Current costs and other costs of the Partnership can increase with no simultaneous increase of turnover. The factors which can cause the current costs and other costs to rise, may include the following: inflation, increase of taxes and other civil-legal duties, legal regulation changes (eg. environmental changes, S&H, labour law and administration law changes) or changes in government policies, which increase the cost of conformity to such laws or policies, increase of financing costs, especially interest rate increases, bank profits increase, currency rates, increase of other financial costs, including effects of changes in currency rates and losses on financial securities, increased cost of external services, especially construction-related services, prolonging effects of financial crisis, which can negatively influence the financial condition of recipients of Partnership services, including entites renting commercial real estates owned by the Partnership and its dependent companies, bidding strength of potential, commercial real estate renting entities, which causes an increase of finishing costs in commercial facilities or, alternatively, an increase of participation in the costs of finishing the facilities, paid by the renting entities. The aforementioned factors can have a significant, negative influence on the activity, material and financial situation and results of the Partnership. In order to limit the risk related to the increase of financing cost, the Partnership constantly follows the market situation and applies financial instruments, which protect from unfavourable changes in currenct rates and in loan interest rates. The risk of increase of other costs under the control of the Partnership, including subcontractors’ services, is limited, eg. by the application of bidding procedures. The Partnership constantly monitors recipients of its products and services and takes actions which cause the debts to be regularly paid back. 2.3. Risk related to changes in construction costs The Partnership has signed, and will sign in the future, contracts with construction works contractors – for the implementation part of investment and development projects. The costs of such projects can change, due to: Increase of construction materials prices, Deficit of construction materials on the market, Change of project scope and changes in architectural project, Increase of employment cost in the case of qualified labour force, Lack of qualified labour foce and costs related to its recruitment, Increase of general contractors’ prices, Inflation, Lack of work execution by the contractors within specified timeframes and in a standard acceptable for the Partnership, Changes of foreign currency rates, Availability of financing sources and their cost, Law changes causing the necessity of adherence to higher standards and new construction-related requirements. Despite a drop tendency seen in the last 6 months in the field of construction works prices, which were caused by the financial crisis and the drop of demand for construction works related to the crisis, the Partnership estimates that in the future, a significant rise in construction works prices can follow because Poland and Ukraine were given the honour to host European Football Championship - Euro 2012. This fact, in combination with the end of the financial crisis can lead to a significant increase of demand for construction materials. Besides, due to construction of infrastructure related to the Euro 2012 organisation, i.e. roads, stadiums, hotels, etc., demand for construction workers (both qualified and unqualified) can increase. This fact may cause a sharp increase of construction works prices. It has to be pointed out, that each significant rise of costs and delays in completion of investment or development projects can negatively influence the financial viability of the Partnership or it can cause a drop of net increase of the Partnership assets value. In order to limit the risk of construction works price increase, the Partnership constantly follows market tendencies, and the contracts being signed have parameters adjusted according to the situation on the market, as this helps to limit the fluctuations of construction works prices.. Page 24 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus 2.4. Risk related to dependency of the Partnership on the contractors of construction works As it implements its investment, the Partnership uses specialised construction works companies as the contractors. The Partnership holds a constant supervision over the construction works performed, it cannot guarantee, however, that the contracted works will be performed by the contractors in a proper way and within the specified timeframe. Any delays in works and anomalies of the works may cause the investment completion to be delayed, thus causing a cost increase. The policy used by the Partnership includes limiting these risks by signing general contractory contracts only with renown contractors of construction works. 2.5. Risk related to the possibility of new grounds acquisition The successful development of activities and profitability of the Parntership depend especially on: The ability to acquire good grounds at competitive prices, Financial reserves for gronds acquisition, Proper management of these reserves. The ability to fulfill the aforementioned assumptions depends in a large extent on the condition of real estate market in Poland. Acquisition of grounds for investment and development projects in Poland can be difficult because of the following reasons: Competition on thr real estate market, Unwillingness of the banks to finance acquisition of grounds for commercial objects, Time-consuming process of obtaining administrative permissions, Lack of local plans of ground management plans, Limited availability of land with proper infrastructure. The Partnership cannot guarantee, that currently negotiated grounds acquisition for investment and development projects will be succesful. These facts can have a significant influence on the activity, financial status or the results of the Partnership. In order to limit the aforementioned risk, the Partnership has created a land bank for future investment and development projects and it has developed an internal expansion department, which is responsible for acquisition of real estates for new investments. 2.6. Risk related to unfavourable ground conditions When it acquires grounds for investment and development projects, the Partnership performs a technical analysis of the ground being obtained. However, because of limitations of this analysis, one cannot exclude that during project implementation the Partnership encounters unforeseen factors, which can cause delays or increase the cost of preparing the ground for the construction works, eg. ground waters, instability of lower ground layers and the need of its replacement, terrain shape and archaeological finds. These factors can have a significant influence on the costs of implementation of the given investment of development project, or even to render the project impossible in its planned shape. This can have a negative influence on the timeframe of project implementation, and this in turn may have adverse effects on the financial results of the Partnership. 2.7. Risk related to land prices drop Following a common practice within this field, the Partnership owns a land bank. Acquisition of grounds for this bank covers the very acquisition itself, as well as signing pre-initial sales contracts. The Partnership owns a land bank and it has signed some pre-initial sales contracts. Once a year, the Partnership reevaluates its investment grounds to the fair value, with the effects of reevaluation noted in its account of gains and losses. A sudden drop of land prices will cause the value of land alreadz owned by the Partnership to drop, and, depending on the market conditions, acquisition of grounds above the market price of the land or a loss of prepayments, which can have a negative effect on the financial status or the results of the Partnership. 2.8. Risks accompanying investment implementation Investments of the Parntership are burdened with many risks, during the predesign preparatory phase, during the design phase, agreements with network gestors and building construction, which can include: Changes in media supply conditions (lengthening of a track eg. of an electric line), Change of road access reconstruction scale, Necessity to introduce changes to the products and to obtain permission from the renting entities and administration organs, Inability to obtain construction permissions of housing conditions and area management plan, Delays in completion of construction works, Costs exceeding the costs assumed in the budget, caused by unfavourable weather conditions (eg. a long and frosty winter), Bankruptcy of contractors or subcontractors, Page 25 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Worker disputes at contractors or subcontractors, Lack of materials or cosntruction equipment, Accidents, Unforeseen technical or real difficulties (eg. high level of ground waters, inadequate ground capacity and archaeological findings), Disputes and court proceedings related to the implemented investments, which may force the Partnership to pay some benefits, eg. resulting from the guarantee of performing construction works, Lack of possibility to obtain persmissions enabling a building(s) release for use or other necessary permissions, Changes in legal regulations on ground usage, etc. Whenever one of the above events happens, it may cause delays in investment completion, thus also an increase of the implementation costs, blockade of assets invested in ground acquistion, and in some cases – it can make impossible to finish the projects. Each of these circumstances can have in turn a significant negative effect on the activity, financial condition or results of the Partnership. In order to minimize the aforementioned risk, the Partnership performs technical and legal analyses of grounds acquired for future investment and development projects. 2.9. Risk related to administrative decisions The Partnership cannot guarantee that particular permissions, approvals or agreements required for current or future investments obtained by the Parntership, or that any current or future permissions, approvals or agreements will not be revoked. The inability to obtain such permissions, approvals or agreements or revoking thereof may negatively influence the ability of the Partnership to perform or to finish current or new development or investment projects. It can have a serious negative effect on the activity, financial status and results of the Partnership. 2.10. Risk related to the responsibility for environmental protection According to the Polish law, the entities using grounds, on which hazardous substances or other contaminations are present, can be obliged to clear the ground or to pay penalties for the contamination, or have the responsibility executed in some other ways. The assessement of risk of reparation claims, of costs of recultivation and administrative penalties payment is an important element of legal and technical analysis performed by the Partnership as a part of ground acquisition for future investments. However, we cannot exclude a possibility, that the Partnership will be obliged to pay the reparations, administrative penalties or recultivation costs resulting from environmental pollution of the grounds owned by the Partnership. It can have a significant adverse effect on the activity, financial status or results of the Partnership. In order to minimize this risk, the Partnership performs technical and legal analysis of grounds acquired for future investment and development projects, aimed to potential risks related to the responsibility for environmental protection. 2.11. Risk related to leaving of people occupying the key positions within the Partnership The Partnership depends on the people occupying managerial positions, especially on the Board members. People present in the Partnership Board have vast experience gained on the Polish real estate market and experience in Partnership management. If any of the Board members had left, it would have negatively influenced the ability of the Partnership to perform its activities, which in turn could influence its activity, financial status of the results. The Partnership intends to limit this risk by introducing managerial options or other instruments of rewarding for the managerial personnel in order to keep the people occupying the key positions within the Partnership. 2.12. Risk related to work accidents at contractors Eventhough the Partnership usually is not directly responsible for work accidents, which can happen at contractors performing construction works at the construction sites of the Partnership, such accidents may cause delays of investment or development projects, thus they may also cause a cost increase of their implementation. It can have a significant impact on the activity, financial status or results of the Partnership. In order to limit this risk, the Partnership signs such constracts with the contractors, which guarantee a timely completion of the works under the condition of high penalty clauses. 2.13. Risk related to financial leverage In order to finance its activities, the Partnership uses loans. The Partnership cannot guarantee, that it will be able to pay the interest and to fulfill other obligations resulting from the loan contracts. If the Partnership is not be able to obtain additional funding according to its expectations, it might be forced to change its strategy, limit its growth and refinancing of subject obligations. If the Partnership will not be able to refinance such obligations, the payments may become wholly or partially and immediately executable and the Partnership may need to sell some of its assets in order to pay these obligations. It may have a significant, unfavourable effect on the activity, material or financial status of the Partnership or on its results. In order to minimize this risk, the Partnership constantly monitors debt levels and the possibilities of loan obligations regulation. Page 26 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus 2.14. Risk related to bankruptcy of the Partnership or of its dependent entities In the case of Partnership’s bankruptcy, its financial, investment and commercial creditors will be entitled to satisfy their credit from the assets of the Partnership. If the dependent entities are bankrupt, then the creditors will be entitled to use their guarantees. A huge part of the Partnership’s real estates, a part of its current and future credits, as well as some shares of dependent entites form the financial security of the Partnership and its dependent entities and it is encumbered with mortgages or other security measures. In the case of Partnership’s bankruptcy (or of its dependent entity) it is highly probable that a large part of its assets will be spent on satisfying the claims of the creditors, thus the ability of the Partnership to generate income will be severely limited. In order to limit this risk, the Partnership constantly monitors its financial viability and time flow of executable payments and credits and it takes the actions of time and amount adjustment of income with monetary income in order to minimize the risk of the Partnership’s bankruptcy. 2.15. Risk related to reprivatisation As a consequence of nationalisation, introduced in Poland after World War II, many real estates owned by people or legal entities were acquired by the Treasury of the State, and often the law was violated. As a part of economic transformation after the 1989, many expropriated owners of the real estates or their legal successors have taken legal steps in order to regain lost estates or to obtain reparations. Not all reprivatisation claims are regulated by law, however. According to the effective regulation, real estate ex-owners or their legal successors can apply to the public administration organs for a decision revoking the nationalising decision. Therefore it cannot be excluded, that in the future claims to the real estates acquired by the Partnership will be raised. This fact can have a negative influence on the financial situation and results of the Partnership. In order to limit this risk, before the ground is acquired, the Partnership tries to study all matters related to the probability of raising a reclamation claim. 2.16. Risk related to the lack of audit committee th th On June 6 , 2009, the Act of May 7 , 2009, on experts and their self-governing bodies, entities approved for studying o financial reports and on public supervision (Dz. U. 2009, N 77, pos. 649) went into effect, according to which, an audit committee should be included in the structures of an Issuing Party of securities approved for circulation on a regulated market of a EU member state, which consists of at least 3 members, elected from the Supervisory Board members. At least one member of the audit committee should meet requirements specified in the aforementioned Act and should be qualified in accounting or financial revision. Currently, no audit committee is present in the structures of the Issuing Party and no member of the Supervisory Board meets the requirements defined in the said Act. Because of the above, the Issuing Party shall recommend an election of a Supervisory Board member who meets these requirements and an election of an audit committee during the next General Assembly. 2.17. Risk related to the resolution of the general partnership of June 22nd, 2007, on the application of MSR/MSSF to consolidated financial reports nd On June 22 , 2007, the partners of the general partnetship – the legal predecessor of the Issuing Party – by taking into account their intention of transforming the general partnership into a stock partnership, and later – an application for approval of share circulation on a regulated market managed by the Stock Exchange in Warsaw and an application for approval of an issue prospectus by the Financial Supervision Committee (KNF) related to the public offer of shares, made a resolution on preparing consolidated financial reports according to MSR/MSSF. The resolution was made before the transformation of legal form of the Issuing Party from a general partnership into a stock parntership and before the resolution on approval of Issuing Party’s shares for circulation on a regulated market took place. Because of the above, there is a risk, which does not generate any negative financial effects on the Issuing Party, especially related to tax obligations, that the accounting policy applied by the Issuing Party, related to the standards used for preparation of consolidated financial reports of the Issuing Party for the years 2007 and 2008, can be improper. An expert studying these consolidated financial reports gave a positive opinion based on his studies. In order to minimize this risk factor, an th Extraordinary General Assembly, calling upon a resolution mentioned in the introduction, made a resolution on April 13 , 2010, on the application of MSR/MSSF for consolidated financial reports of the Issuing Party Capital Group, including consolidated financial reports for 2009. 3. Risk factors related to the investment in Offered Shares 3.1. Risk related to the possibility of cancellation or waiver of the Public Offer The General Assembly can make a resolution on cancellation of Series C Shares offer or on waiver of the Series C Shares offer before the Issue Prospectus is published and it can can make a resolution on withdrawal of Series C Shares offer after the Issue Prospectus is published, because of important reasons. These reasons, among others, may be classified as important: Sudden changes in economic or political situation of the country, region or world, which could not be foreseen before the subscriptions were started and which could have a significant negative effect on the implementation of the Offer or on the activity of the Issuing Party, Page 27 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Sudden change in economic or legal environment of the Issuing party which could not be foreseen before the subscriptions were started and which could have a significant negative effect on the current activity of the Issuing Party, Sudden change in financial, economic or legal state of the Issuing Party, which would have or could have a negative effect on the activity of the Issuing Party and which could not be foreseen before the subscriptions were started, Other circumstances which would render implementation of the Offer impossible or harmful for the interests of the Issuing Party or the Investors. In a case of potential waiver from the implementation of the Offer during its implementaion, return of assets paid by the Investors will be performed by the method specified by the Investor in the Subscription Form, within 14 days after the Issuing Party’s announcement of Offer waiver. The return of the aforementioned amounts will be done „as is”, with no interests or reparations. In a case of potential cancellation of Offer implementation, a proper announcement will be given to the general public, by making an annex to this Prospectus accessible, which has to be approved by KNF. This annex will be given to the genereal public in the same way the Prospectus was published. The Offer is not planned to be suspended. 3.2. Risk related to ineffective Issue of Series C Shares The Issue of Series C Shares may not come into effect, if: 1) at least 1 Series C Share is not subscribed and properly paid, as regulated by the rules defined in the Prospectus, 2) the Board does not submit a resolution on increasing company capital by issuing Series C Shares to the proper register Court within 12 months from the date of Prospectus’ approval and not later than one month from the date of allocation of Series C Shares, 3) a decision of the register Court refusing to register the increase of company capital by issuing Series C Shares comes into effect. The registration of the increase of company capital by issuing Series C Shares by the Court depends also on the submission of a statement defining the amount of the increase of company capital by issuing Series C Shares covered by valid subscriptions by the Board. This statement, according to art. 310 CCC in conjunction with art. 431 § 7 CCC, should define the amount of company caital after the public subscription for Series C Shares is finished, within the limits defined in the resolution on the increase of company capital by Issuing Series C Shares. If the Board does not submit the aforementioned statement or if the statement is incorrect, it would render the registration of company capital increase impossible, thus the Issue of Series C Shares would not take place. If the Issue of Series C shares does not take place, the refund of payments made for Series C Shares will be done within the timeframe and rules described in p. 5.1 of the Prospectus. The Investors are reminded that the refund will not include any interest rates and reparations. 3.3. Risk related to claim of revoking the resolution on the increase of company capital by issuing Series C Shares According to art. 422 CCC, a resolution of the General Assembly which contradicts the Status or the good manners and threatens the interests of the Partnership, or which is made with the goal of harming a shareholder, can be claimed as a claim of revoking the resolution, made against the Partnership. Additionally, art. 425 CCC allows to charge a resolution of the General Assembly with a claim of making such a resolution ineffective. The Partnership has taken all necessary actions in order to secure the concordance of resolutions on the increase of company capital by issuing Series C Shares with the law, the Status, good manners and the interest of the Partnership. The Partnership cannot guarantee, however, that no aforementioned claims will be made. 3.4. Risk related to PDA quotation of Series C The Issuing Party intends to introduce PDA of Series C Shares to the GPW as soon as possible. However, there is a risk, that because of procedural reasons, PDA of Series C will not be introducted to stock exchange circulation at all, which would mean, that the investors cannot dispose of allocated securities on the stock exchange before the date of introduction of Series C Shares to the GPW. The investors are reminded, that if the Issue does not take place during the PDA of Series C circulation, the Investors will be refunded only with the issue price for each PDA, according to the rules described in p. 5.1 of the Prospectus, without any interest rates or reparations. It might mean, that the Investors who will have PDA of Series C purchased at GPW at a price which is higher then the issue price of Offered Shares, that they suffer losses. 3.5. Risk related to refusal of introduction of shares of the Issuing Party to the stock exchange circulation or to a delay thereof Page 28 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Introduction of Rights to Series C Shares, and then – to the Offered Shares and Series B Shares – to the stock exchange circulation, requires the following decisions to be obtained: KDPW decision about accepting Rights to Series C Shares, Offered Shares and Series B Shares for depositon and granting them with a code, Stock Exchange Board decision on approval of Rights to Series C Shares, Offered Shares and Series B Shares for stock exchange circulation, Decision of Register Court on registration of the Issue of Series C Shares (in the case of introduction of Offered Shares and Series B Shares to stock exchange circulation), Stock Exchange Decision on introduction of Rights to Series C Shares, and later – Offered Shares and Series B Shares – to stock exchange circulation. According to §2 of the Resolution of the Minister of Finances on October 14th, 2005, on detailed conditions which must be met by the official stock quotation market and the entities issuing shares to this market (Dz. U. 2005, N o 206, pos. 1712) a company managing the official stock quotation market should assure, that only those shares are approved for circulation on this market, which meet the following requirements: 1) They have been accepted for circulation on a regulated market, 2) Their disposal is not limited, 3) All issued shares of a given type have been included in an application to a proper organ of the company managing the official stock quotation market, 4) The product of number of shares included in their application and their market price, and if that price cannot be defined – own capital of the Issuing Party, equal (in zlotys) at least 1 000 000 Euro 5) At the date of application submission, such a dispersion of shares included in the application exists, that it assures a flow of shares. On the other hand, according to § 3 of the aforementioned Resolution, shares are accepted for circulation on the official quotation market, if: 1) The company issuing shares has announced, according to the rules specified in separate regulations, financial reports with an opinion of an entity approved for their analysis, for at least three years preceeding the date of application submission, or 2) It is backed by a justified interest of the company or of the investors, and the company has announced to the general public, in a way specified in separate regulations, information which allow the investors to estimate the financial and economical state of the company and risks related to purchase of shares included in the application. A delay or a refusal from any of the decision making entities may cause a disturbance or interruption of introduction of Shares or Rights to Shares of the Issuing Party to the stock exchange circulation. Additionally, according to § 11 of GPW Status, the Stock Exchange Board can revoke to resolution on accepting securities for stock exchange circulation, if within 6 months from the date of the resolution, the application for introduction of these securities to stock exchange circulation is not submitted. 3.6. Risk of indequate dispersion of shares introduced to circulation on the regulated market One of the criteria which have to be met by shares, in order to accept them for circulation on the official quotation marker th is the dispersion share, which allows their flow. According to the resolution of the Minister of Finances on October 14 , 2005 on detailed conditions which must be met by the official stock quotation market and the entities issuing shares to this o market (Dz. U. 2005, N 206, pos. 1712), a dispersion assures shares flow, if the investors (where each of them holds no more than 5% of the total GA votes), hold: (a) at least 25% of the company’s shares included in the application or (b) at least 500 000 of the company’s shares with total value in zlotys not less than 17 mln Euro, according to the last issue price o th or a sale price. According to the resolution N 14/1220/2009 of the Supervisory Board of GPW dated May 20 , 2009, on the change of GPW Status, which came into effect on the same day, that in a case of approval of shares for stock exchange circulation, these shares should also meet the following requirements: (a) the product of all shares of the issuing party and the prognosed market prices of these shares, and if a determination of this price is impossible – own capital of the issuing party, should equal (in zlotys) at least 5 000 000 Euro, (b) the shareholders (each of which is entitled to less than 5% of the votes during a General Assembly of the Issuing Party), should hold at least 15% of shares included in the application for approval for stock exchange circulation and 100 000 of shares included in the application for approval for stock exchange circulation with a value of at least 1 mln Euro, calculated according to the last sale price or issue price. There is a risk that Series C Shares will not be approved for stock market circulation, because of the possibility of ownership structure formation and of market value of the Issuing Party’s shares in a way which does not meet the criteria listed in the o resolution N 14/1220/2009 of the GPW Supervisory Board. If the conditions for approval for circulation on the main market are not met, the Issuing Party will submit proper applications for approval for introdcution of the securities on the parallel market. Page 29 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus We also have to note, according to the opinion of the Stock Board Exchange regarding detailed conditions of approval and th introduction of some financial instruments to the stock exchange, dated September 12 , 2006, the decisions regarding the application of Issuing Parties for approval and introduction of rights to new issue shares and to existing shares are made after a detailed analysis, including in particular the amount and the structure of the offer, ownership structure, possible sale bans and other circumstances related to the application. Because of the above, one has to take into account the possibility of introduction of existing shares to the quotations taking place not earlier than the registration of the increase of company capital. 3.7. Risk related to exclusion of Series B Shares, Series C Shares and Series C PDA from circulation on the regulated market One cannot be absolutely sure, that the shares of the Issuing Party will not be subjected to such a condition in the future. Currently there are no reasons to expect such a turn of events. If the Issuing Party does not fulfill its duties, orders and bans forced or provided in specific regulations of the Act on Public Offers or of the Resolution on the Prospectus, or if it does not fulfill them properly, the KNF can: a) Made a decision of excluding the securities from the regulated marked circulation, for a specific period or permanently, or b) Give a penalty of up to 1.000.000 PLN (taking into account the financial situation of the entity subjected to the penalty), or c) Use both aforementioned sanctions simultaneously. Additionally, according to art. 20 p. 3 of the Act on Circulation, the company managing the regulated market excludes securities or other financial instruments specified by the KNF (on the request of KNF) then, if their circulation significantly threatens proper functioning of the regulated market or circulation security on this market, of if it violated the interests of the investors. According to § 31 of the GPW Status, the GPW Board excludes financial instruments from the stock exchange circulation, if: (i) their disposability has become limited, (ii) on the request of KNF submitted according to the regulations of the Act on Circulation, (iii) in a case when their dematerialisation is revoked, or (iv) in a case of their exclusion from circulated on the regulated market by the proper supervisory organ. Besides, the GPW Board can exclude financial instruments from the stock exchange circulation according to § 31 p. 2 of the GPW Status. One cannot be absolutely sure, that such situation will not take place in the future in the case of Shares. Currently, there are no reasons to expect such a turn of events. 3.8. Risk related to the possibility of suspending circulation of Series B Shares, Series C Shares and Series C PDA on the GPW The Stock Exchange Board can, on the basis of § 30 p. 1 of the Stock Exchange Status, suspend the circulation of Issuing Party Shares for the period of up to three months: If an application of the Issuing Party has been submitted, If it decides, that it is required by the interests and security of the circulation participants, If the Issuing Party violates GPW rules. According to § 30 p. 2 of the Stock Exchange Status, the Stock Exchange Board suspends shares circulation for the period of up to one months on the request of KNF submitted according to the regulations of the Act on Circulation. According to art. 20 p. 2 of the Act on Circulation, in a case, when the circulation of particular securities or other financial instruments is performed in circumstances indicating a risk of threatening proper functioning of the regulated market or of the security of circulation on this market, or of threatening the interests of investors, the company managing the regulated market suspends the circulation of these intstruments on the request of the KNF, for a period of up to one month. On the basis of art. 96 p. 1 of the Act on Offer, the right of temporal or permanent exclusion of shares from the stock exchange circulation belongs also to the KNF, in a case when the duties of the Issuing Party referred to by art. 96 p. 1 of the Act on Offer are not fulfilled or are not fulfilled properly. The KNF consults the GPW before making such decisions. 3.9. Risk related to fluctuations of quotations of the Issuing Party Shares and Series C PDA The price of Shares in the Public Offer should not constitute a solid base for conclusions regarding their quotations after the end of the Public Offer. Quotations of the Shares and Series C PDA may undergo large fluctuations because of many events and factors, which cannot be influenced by the Issuing Party. Such events and factors should include, eg. changes of financial results of the Issuing Party, changes in profitability estimations made by the analysts, comparison of perspectives of different branches of economy, changes in legal regulations influencing the situation of the Issuing Party and the general condition of the economy. Page 30 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Stock exchange markets occassionally experience large fluctuations of prices and circulation volumes, which can also have a negative influence on the market price of Shares or Series C PDA. In order to optimise the return rate, the investors may be forced to make long-term investments in the Shares, since the Shares may be inappropriate as short-term investments. The approval of Shares and Series C PDA for circulation on the GPW should not be interpreted as a guarantee of their flow. In a case, when a proper turnover level will not be reached or maintained, it can have a negative effect on the viability and prices of Shares or Series C PDA. Even if the proper flow level of Shares and Series C PDA is reached, the market price of Shares can be lower than the Issue Price/Sale Price. 3.10. Risk related to the possibility of the ban of start or of the order to stop the Public Offer and of the ban of start or order to stop the approval of shares for circulation on the regulated market by the KNF According to art. 16 and 17 of the Act on Public Offer, in a case of violation or a justified suspicion of violation of law related to the public offer, the subscription or the sales performed on the basis of this offer or related to the application of the for permission or introduction of securities for circulation on the regulated market on the territory of the Republic of Poland by the issuing party, the introducing party or other entities participating in this offer in the name or on the order of the Issuing Party, or in a case of a justified suspicion that such a violation can take place, the KNF can: a) Order to ban the start of a public offer, a subscription or sale, or to stop them, or order to stop the application for approval or introduction of securities to the circulation on a regulated market, for a period of no longer than 10 working days, b) Order to ban the start of a public offer, a subscription or sale, or to stop them, or order to stop the application for approval or introduction of securities to the circulation on a regulated market, or c) Publish, (at the expense of the Issuing Party) an information about an action violating the law, related to the public offer, the subscription or sale or to application for approval or introduction of securities to the circulation on a regulated market. The KNF may apply means provided in point b) and c) above more than one time in relation to the public offer, the subscription or sale or to application for approval or introduction of securities to the circulation on a regulated market. One also has to note that according to art. 18 of the Act on Public Offer, the KNF may apply means listed in art. 16 or 17, also in a case when it can be concluded from the contents of documents or information submitted to the KNF or released to the general public, that: a) The public offer, the subscription or sales of the securities made on the basis of this offer or their approval for circulation on the regulated market wouls significantly violate the interests of the investors, b) There are hints, which according to the law may lead to legal cessation of the Issuing Party, c) The activity of the Issuing party was or is perfromed with a striking violation of legal regulations and this violation can significantly infuence evaluation of securities of the Issuing Party or which may lead to legal cessation or bankruptcy of the Issuing Party according to the law, or d) The legal status of the securities is not concordant with law, and according to these regulations there is a risk that these securities are acknowledged as invalid or having a legal defect influencing their evaluation. If the KNF is notified by a proper organ of a country assuming that the Issuing Party, which has the Republic of Poland as its country of origin, or a financial institution acting in the public offer in the name or on the order of such Issuing Party violates the law effective in this country, related to the public offer or to approval for circulation on the regulated market on the basis of Issue Prospectus approved by the KNF, the KNF can: a) Order the Issuing Party to stop violating the legal regulations on the territory of this country or b) Apply means defined in art. 16 or art. 17. 3.11. Risk related to violation of legal regulations or to a justified suspicion of violation thereof by the Issuing Party or by the entities participating in the public offer According to art. 16 of the Act on Public Offer, in a case of violation or a justified suspicion of violation of law related to the public offer, the subscription or the sales performed on the basis of this offer by the Issuing Party, the introducing party or other entities participating in this offer in the name or on the order of the Issuing Party, or in a case of a justified suspicion that such a violation can take place, the KNF can order to ban the start of the public offer, the subscription or sales or to stop them for a period of up to 10 working days or to ban the start of the public offer, the subscription or sales or to stop them, or publish (at the expense of the Issuing Party or the introducing party) an information about an action violating the law, related to the public offer, the subscription or sale. The KNF may apply multiple means listed in the above sentence, related to the public offer, the subscription or sales. In a case of violation or a justified suspicion of violation of law related to the application for approval or introduction of securities to circulation on the regulated market by the Issuing Party, the introducing party or other entities participating in this offer in the name or on the order of the Issuing Party, or in a case of a justified suspicion that such a violation can take place, the KNF can order, on the behalf of art. 17 of the Act on Offer, to ban approval or introduction of securities to Page 31 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus circulation on the regulated market for a period of up to 10 working days or to ban approval or introduction of securities to circulation on the regulated market and publish (at the expense of the Issuing Party or the introducing party) an information about an action violating the law, related to approval or introduction of securities to circulation on the regulated market. The KNF may apply multiple means listed in the above sentence, related to approval or introduction of securities to circulation on the regulated market. One also has to note that according to art. 18 of the Act on Public Offer, the KNF may apply means listed in art. 16 or 17, also in a case when it can be concluded from the contents of documents or information submitted to the KNF or released to the general public, that the public offer, the subscription or sale of securities or approval thereof for circulation on the regulated market would pose a significant threat to the interests of the Investors, creation of the Issuing Party took place with a serious violation of effective legal regulations, or the legal status of the securities contradicts the law. One cannot entirely exclude that such a risk exists, which is related to the Public Offer covered in this Prospectus and related to the application for approval o introduction of the securities to circulation on the regulated market. 3.12. Risk related to refusal of the annex to the Prospectus According to art. 51 p. 4 of the Act on Offer, the KNF may refuse the annex to the Prospectus in a case when its form or contents do not conform to the requirements specified in legal regulations. By refusing the annex to the Prosceptus,the KNF orders to ban the start of the Public Offer, to stop it or to hold the introduction of securities to the circulation on the regulated market on the GPW na on the basis of Issue Prospectus related to the securities covered by this offer or covered an approval for circulation. 3.13. Risk related to subscription for Offered Shares and to subscription payment The Issuing Party reminds the Subscribers that the Subscribers are responsible for all consequences resulting from an inappropriate filling in the Offered Shares subscription form, including lack of shares allocation. Additionally, lack of payment for Offered Shares within the specified timeframe or an incomplete payment results in lack of Offered Shares allocation. 3.14. Risk related to prolongation of subscription deadline According to the Prospectus’ contents, the Board of the Issuing Party holds the right to extend the subscription deadline if the total number of Offered Shares covered by subscriptions will be lower than the total number of Offered Shares, but this deadline cannot be later that three months from the starting date of the Public Offer, it also cannot be later than the validity date of the Prospectus. This causes a risk of monetary assets freeze for the investors, who will have made payments for Offered Shares. 3.15. Risk related to not fulfilling or violation of duties of the Issuing Party, defined by legal regulations and by the GPW Status In a case, when the Issuing Party does not fulfill its duties or fulfills the duties inappropriately – the duties are specified in the Act on Offer, art. 14 p. 2, art. 15 p. 2, art. 37 p. 4 and 5, art. 38 p. 1 and 5, art. 39 p. 1, art. 42 p. 1, art. 44 p. 1, art. 45, art. 46, art. 47 p. 1, 2 and 4, art. 48, art. 50, art. 51 p. 4, art. 52, art. 54 p. 2 and 3, art. 56 i 57, art. 58 p. 1, art. 59, art. 62 p. 2, 5 and 6, art. 63, art. 64, art. 66 and art. 70 does not execute, or inadequately execute the order specified in art. 16 p 1, violates the order specified, in art. 16 p 2, or does not fulfill its duties or fulfills the duties inappropriately – the duties are specified in art. 22 p. 4 and 7, art. 26 p. 5 and 7, art. 27, art. 29-31 and art. 33 of the Regulation (WE) 809/2004 of the Commitee, the KNF can: make a decision about temporal or permanent exclusion of securities from the regulated market, or force a monetary penalty of up to 1 mln PLN, taking into account the specific financial situation of the entity, or apply both sanctions simultaneously.

General activity profile 6.1. 6.1.1. Basic activity Basic fields and types of activity The Issuing Party performs an investment – development activity on the domestic market, which is obtaining real estates (grounds) and housing them with commercial objects destined for rent or for sale. The Isssuing Party executes its activity with a Capital Group, on its own and through the intended companies. It is mainly resulting from the requirements of banks financing the development projects of the Capital Group of the Issuing Party. During the implementation of projects within the field of real estate market, the banks require that financing of the investment projects is made by the companies intended for specified projects, as it allows to minimize the investment risk. The activity subject of the aforementioned company should be limited to activities related to ownership and management of the real estate, there are also limits regarding the employment in such a company. The rental contracts signed are longterm contracts and they guarantee the companies a stable income. The real estates must have their legal status regulated and the object itself should have high technical standard. Such a construction allows a separation of monetary flow related to a given project from monetary flows related to other projects along with a higher level of financial leverage when financing a project, thus a higher level of bank loans available to the intentional company than to its shareholders. Additionally, bankruptcy of the intentional company as a result of project failure does not mean the bankruptcy of its shareholders. The Capital Group of the Issuing Party focuses its current and future activity on implementation of four categories of investment projects within the real estate market, namely – construction and rental or sale of the objects: Large area commercial – service centres, Uptown commercial galleries, Commercial objects – commercial parks, Highly profitable, short-term investment projects. 6.1.1.1. Development strategy The strategy predicts development on the real estate market with profits for the shareholders, business partners and local communities. The basis of this strategy is the long-term trust in the range of all entities engaged in the implementaion of each project. Thanks to knowledge and experience gained, the Issuing Party has specialised in design and construction of large area commercial objects and commercial galleries and parks in medium-size cities.

Acquisition of information about the partners and grounds for investments. The number of projects implemented throughout the country in the period of 12 years of business activity led to development of a high operation efficiency of the Issuing Party in the fields of grounds acquisition and investment implementation. The issuing Party obtains information and searches for land for future investmets, using a procedure worked out throughout the years: On its own, by the expansions department; in the case of large area commercial objects, this acction is additionally directed by information obtained from the main operators (Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Metro, OBI, REAL, Aldi, Biedronka), regarding the localisation of future objects, Obtaining grounds from the aforementioned companies during acquisition and finishing the ground mergers for future investments, Offers made by permanently cooperating real estate agents and other entities, which have real estate trade as a part of their business activity, eg. trustees, design offices etc. Other business partners, People, real estate owners (on its own).

Investment capacity verification process. The optimal orgaisational structure of the company and mechanisms of ground classification for investments, worked out throught the years of the Partnership’s activity resulted in a high analytical and decision-related efficiency within the field of ground acquisition. All decisions regarding purchases of real estates are preceeded by verification procedures. These procedures are implemented in two variants, depending on the type of investment, which will be implenented on the analysed grounds. Page 51 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus 2.1. Large area objects. The verification procedure for large area objects: Verification of implementation possibility for the particular investment type, Examination of legal state of the real estate, Acquisition of basic information about the real estate. On the basis of aforementioned information, an information memorandum is created for one of the main operators eg. Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, OBI, Real, etc. Once the initial acceptation has been obtained, but before the ground acquisition, the main parameters of cooperation and of the investment are agree with the operator, such as: Future rental area, Rental fee and technical maintenance fees, Rental contract period, Range of works finances by each of the Parties. Once the parameters of the investment project are agree, the Issuing Party brings the parties to sign these effects in the 2 stage: st 1 stage – pre-initial contract of cessation of ownership rights or perpetual use rights, nd 2 stage – signing the final contract once the suspending conditions are met. nd The above procedure guarantees safety of implementiation and income from these types of investments. If no acceptance and positive evaluation of the operator are obtained, then the materials related to the real estate are archivised for further, potential use in the future. 2.2. Commercial galleries. The procedure of real estate localisation evaluation for the needs of commercial galleries includes: Verification of implementation possibility for the particular investment type, Geological, geophysical studies, studies of ground contamination, green area cataloguing, Vefirication of entries in mortgage registers, Determination of media availability (water, electricity, gas, etc.), Negotiating, preparation of contract projects by the legal department, Initial design works, preparation of architectural concept with determination of the most important parameters of the investment and potential risks, which may raise the costs of investment implementation, Project analysis in relation to potential renting parties, Preparing an investment profitability analysis, budgeting, preparation of a business plan, Once the parameters of the investment project are agree, the Issuing Party brings the parties to sign these effects in the 2 stage: st 1 stage – pre-initial contract of cessation of ownership rights or perpetual use rights, nd 2 stage – signing the final contract once the suspending conditions are met. 3. Investment implementation. nd Once the real estate has been secured, the Issuing Party takes next actions in order to implement the investment: The choice of design office, preparing the architectural – construction project, together with obtaining necessary permissions, Commercialisation of commercial areas, Financing management, The choice of the general contractor who performs and coordinates the entirety of construction works. An integral part of the investment process in area commercialisation, i.e. obtaining renting parties for the area in the implemented object. The commercialisation process is performed by the Partnership itself, by the commercialisation department. A team of employees of the Capital Group of the Issuing Party also works on the commercialisation process, with the team being responsible for implementation of the particular investment project, including a supervision inspector, specalists in the particular fields (sanitary, electric), an architect, who supervises and coordinated works performed by the subcontractors. The choice of general contractor is made on the basis of an auction, for which the biggest companies in the domestic market are invited, including: Budimex Dromex S.A., Skanska S.A., Erbud S.A., Budus S.A., Warbud S.A., Mostostal Warszawa S.A. etc. A contract is signed with the general contractor (chosen in a multistep auction), which regulates the deadlines of particular investment stages and directly related schedule of payments. Page 52 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus The Capital Group of the Issuing Party itself engages subcontractors for particular investment projects, which are supervised by the supervision department of the Capital Group of the Issuing Party, or by the general contractor. In both cases described above, the Board of the Issuing Party, together with subsidiaries – investment development department, manager of the investment project, and if there is a need to – with a supervisor of the project acting in the name of the bank which finances the investment, provide a complex supervision of the investment. 4. Marketing and sales. When the construction starts, the Capital Group of the Issuing Party starts its marketing actions related to advertising and marketing of the implemented commercial object. This range of actions is related only to own objects of the Partnership. 5. Object management. The last element controlled by the Capital Group of the Issuing Party after the construction and release of the object for use, is an independent management of the object. In the case of uptown galleries, the Capital Group of the Issuing Party predicts that the objects implemented now and in the future will be managed independently by itself, because of positive and measurable financial effects obtained with management of Galeria Piastów in Legnica and Twierdza Commercial Centre in Kłodzko. 6.1.1.4.

Page 56 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus If favourable market conditions take place, the Issuing Party does not exclude returns to the aforementioned investment projects, according to agreements and concepts possessed. 6.1.1.7. Other future projects Because of current, negative economic conditions, including also the developers, the Issuing Party is very cautious with estimations of new investment projects. A strong competitions which took place in the period of 2007-2008 led to creation of many development projects. Becasue of this fact and of difficulties in obtaning funds for investments, projects partially prepared for implementation have appeared on the market. Taking into account the above, the Issuing Party plans purchases of investment projects or grounds only in the cases of a very attractive ground price or if a valid local spatial development plan for the ground exists, significant technical agreements and rental contracts are signed with the main renting party. Other case, when the Issuing Party allows the possibility of ground purchase and engaging financial assets in preparation of an investment project is purchase of ground indicated by the partner as potential locations of commercial objects. As of the date of Prospectus creation, the Issuing Party cooperates within the latter scheme with ALDI Sp. z o.o., OBI Sp. z o.o. and Makro Cash and Carry Polska S.A. The next step may involve implementation of an object with a rental or sale option, with an assumption that favourable financial conditions have been negotiated. 6.1.1.8. Land bank According to its strategic assumptions, the Group of the Issuing Party has created a land bank throughout Poland by purchasing attractive ground which allow implementation of large area commercial objects, commercial galleries, apartment investments and office-service investments, as well as implementation of short-term investment projects. As of the date of Prospectus creation, the Group of the Issuing Party is an owner or a perpetual user of grounds with a total area of about 686 000 sq.m. 6.1.2. New products and services The Group of the Issuing Party has not introduced any now products and services in the period from 2006 to the date of the Prospectus approval, besides those described in p. 6.1.1.2 of the „Registration Document”. 6.2. Main markets and competition of the Issuing Party 6.2.1. 1. Market descriptions Malls (hypermarkets and supermarkets). Significant changes on the Polish retail sales market have taken place in the last years. Since the beginning of the 1990s, supply of commercial area has increasd and in 2010 it covers an increasing number of international retail sales networks, along with commercial places of high standards. Foreign trade networks, investors and developers start their activity in Poland in order to access a new and less saturated market. According to this, foreign entities form a large part of owners of large area commercial centres. Despite increasing concentration of sales and increasing importance of modern network trade, the characteristic of the market still is a dominant role of shops with sale area less than 100 sq.m. The dominant role of small shops is still an evidence of the fact, that the majority of Poles still prefer doing shopping in local shops, Despite this fact, the expansion of large commercial networks goes on. The hypermarkets are located mostly in cities with the biggest number of citizens, while supermarket owners place their shops in middle-sized towns. First international supermarket networks started in Poland in the beginning of the 1990s. These were trademarks such, as Billa, Rema 1000 or Globi. In the middle of the previous decade, expansion of the biggest international hypermarket networks, such as Auchan, Carrefour, Geant, Real or Tesco, has started. rd In the 3 quarter of 2009 there were over 200 hypermarkets in Poland, located mostly in complex commercial centres along with a few thousands of supermarkets and food discounts. In the sector of large area food shops, the period of dynamic expansion is ending now. In the hypermarket sector, only foru huge players remained (Auchan, Carrefour, Real i Tesco). The main entities in th supermarket segment are Carrefour, Tesco and Kaufland as well as delicatessen Piotr i Paweł and Alma. In the discount segment, Lidl and Biedronka dominate. The supermarket networks start to verify their locations and formats – missed investments will be closed and the new ones – thoroughly studied and selected. In 2009, in the food sector, the objects of the Piotr i Paweł networks in Galeria Malta in Poznań, Carrefour in the Twierdza Kłodzko Centre and Alma in Renoma in Wrocław and in Cuprum Arena in Lubin have opened. Further development of food shops sector in Poland will be limited mainly to supermarkets and small local shops. Hypermarkets will be located in suburban centres and commercial parks. Rental fees for the area rented by hypermarkets have stabilised at the level of 6,5-8 euro/sq.m./m, and for the supermarkets - 11-15 euro/sq.m./m. Because of limited availability of area for large area food shops, no significant 1 rental fee drops are predicted . 1 Marketbeat Polska –Autumn 2009 – Cushman & Wakefield 2009 Page 57 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus 2. Commercial centres. In the first half of 2009, in Poland almost 390 000 sq.m. of modern commercial area has been released, which equals to a 95% increase in comparison to the analogical period of 2008. The accumulation of supply is caused by entering delayed investments started in the previous years on the market. The biggest objects finished in the period of January-June 2009 are Galeria Malta in Poznań, Cuprum Arena in Lubin and Renoma in Wrocław. At the end of June, 2009, the reserves of modern commercial area in Poland totalled 8 835 000 sq.m. This area included: commercial centres (72,5%), warehouses and commercial parks (19,2%), sales centres (0,9%) and other commercial objects (7,4%). The supply of modern commercial area in Poland is still concentrated in the eight biggest aglomerations (61,4%), however, each year brings an increase in the rd 2 share of smaller cities (3 quarter of 2009 - 38,6%) . In 2008, a significant intensification of developers’ activity could be noted in the medium-sized cities, e.g. in Bydgoszcz, Białystok, Słupsk, Opole or Zielona Góra. In the four quarters of 2008, locations of this type were enriched with almost 409 000 sq.m. of commercial area, i.e. almost three times as much as in the main regional cities. Such locations are more and more often chosen not only by Polish companies, but also by renown international trademarks, eg.: ZARA, H&M or C&A, 3 which are eager to located their shops in high-quality objects . Despite the economic slowdown, there are still many businesses prepared to open new shops and the medium cities seem to a natural direction of their expansion. The favourable factor of medium cities are rental fees, which are lower than in the 4 bigger cities . The global financial crisis verifies forecasts of future supply on the market of commercial real estates. An intensive construction activity can still be seen, as the decisions related to commercial objects constructed today have been made in the peak of economic trends. At the end of June 2009 ca. 1 mln sq.m. of modern commercial area was still being built, with the finish dates in the period of 2009-2010. Almost 66% of objects being constructed is located in small and medium cities (eg. Focus– Piotrków Trybunalski and Galeria Jurajska – Częstochowa), but the investments are also performed in the biggest aglomerations (e.g. IKEA Port in Łódź, Bonarka City Center in Kraków). It will help to retain the yearly supply of modern commercial area in 2010 at the level of 800 000 sq.m. However, construction works of some significant trade objects have been held (totalling ca. 280 tys. mkw.). At the date of the Issue Prospectus approval it is difficult to estimate, which of the planned objects will be implemented, which will be delayed and which of them will be cancelled. However, taking into account the specifics of investment processes on the real estate market, one can quite probably say that it is safe to assume a significant drop of yearly supply after 2010. Dynamic changes observed in the textile sector form trends within demand for the modern commercial area. On one hand, a few of the known networks are suffering from financial problems, they seek new sources of financing and modify existing development strategies. On the other hand, new market entries are observed along with an increased expansion of entities in this sector, struggling to take a dominant position within the market. Until now, it has not been reflected in an increased of empty buildings, which remain at a low level of 0-3,6%. However, the pheonomenon of secondary rental market in the commercial centres. The difference between a stipulated rental fee and real rental fee increases, as this increase is caused by the increase of prompts present in the full rental packages. The highest rental fees are at the main commercial streets, where they are the level of 80-84 Euro/sq.m./month and in commercial centres, where they equal to 79-83 Euro/sq.m./month. One can also see a strong diversification of rental fee in first and second category objects. Limited access to funding and conditions offered form the most important barrier for the development of rental market in Poland. Its development has been also negatively influenced by strong fluctuations of Euro currency rate related to PLN. Total rental costs increased even by 30-40%, because the contracts are signed in Euro and the payments are made in PLN, according to the valid rate on the date of invoicing. The commercial networks do not stay idle in this situation and they take different actions – including bonifications and sales, in order to increase the turnover, through modifications of expansion strategies, shop sizes and offer types, up to renegotiations of rental conditions with the owners. A crisis is also the time of nd luxurious offers, fusions, overtakes and new entries. In the 2 quarter of 2009, the following phenomena could be seen: consolidation, searches for strategic investors, renegotiation of loan conditions with the banks, introduction of repair programs. One also has to note new entries (TK MAXX, S.Olivier, New Look, Peacock, Starbucks Coffee), expansion acceleration (Marks&Spencer) or creation of new concepts (Ann Christine – New Yorker). The importance of prompts in the total rental conditions has increased. They are introduced more often than ever before and include: stepping rental fees, turnover rentals, rental holidays or participations in the arrangements of the place. The level of rental fee became an important, although not the only one factor in making a decision on renting a place. It it the 5 total rental fee that matters, including expenses on the places’ arrangement, exploitation and marketing costs . 2 Marketbeat Polska – Autumn 2009 – Cushman & Wakefield 2009 Commercial Markets 2009 – Knight Frank 2009 4 Commercial centres in medium-sized cities of Poland – DTZ – 1st quarter of 2009 5 Marketbeat Polska – Autumn 2009 – Cushman & Wakefield 2009 3 Page 58 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus The level of initial monthly rental fees for the areas in commercial centres is still the highest in the case of so called prime units, namely 100 to 150 sq.m. and it is reached in Warsaw, where the rental fees are oscillating from 65 to 90 Euro/sq.m. The second place was taken by Kraków with slightly lower fees of 60-70 Euro/sq.m. Trójmiasto, Poznań and Wrocław are regions, where the monthly rental fees for these area are oscillating in the range from about 40 Euro/sq.m. to 55 Euro/sq.m., whereas the lowest rental fees were recorded in Katowice, Szczecin and Łódź, where the renting party are 6 about to pay from ca. 40 Euro/sq.m. to 50 Euro/sq.m. of a commercial area . Because of a sharp increase of saturation with commercial areas observed in the last years, the Issuing Party foresees that the most dynamic development of commercial centres will take place in small and medium-sized cities. Another factors that is faovurable for this tendency is lower cost of ground acquisition in comparison with the biggest agglomerations. 3. Office area market. Warsaw remains the most mature office area market in Poland, with reserves of modern office area for rent estimated to be about 2,43 mln sq.m. Among the regional markets (Kraków, Poznań, Wrocław, Trójmiasto and Katowice) Wrocław has becoe the leader for the first time, with its office area for rent having exceeded the level of 257 000 sq.m., thanks to implementation in 2008 a record quantity of new supply (ove 105 000 sq.m.). The second place, after the capital of the Lower Silesia, was taken by Kraków, with its supplies estimated as about 234 000 sq.m., whereas Trójmiasto took the third place (184 000 sq.m. of office area for rent). Katowice remain the smallest market with its supplies of over 111 000 sq.m. of offices. In the entire year 2008, there have been about 472 000 sq.m. of modern office area for rent implemented, where about 52% (247 000 sq.m.) constituted by new supply for the Warsaw market. On 5 biggest regional markets the developers have released for use in the past 12 months some 225 000 sq.m. of modern office area, almost twice as much as in 2007. Such a good result was possible thanks to implementation bigger investments, than it was in the previous years (eg. Bema Plaza in Wrocław). Besides the Warsaw market, where about 413 000 sq.m. was created in 2009, the market in Kraków shows the most dynamic growth. It is estimated that in this town over 152 000 sq.m. of modern offices are at different stages of construction. Much lower activity of developers is seen in other regional cities, where from abour 30 000 sq.m. to 61 000 sq.m. of office area was created. The dynamic development of some of the regional office area markets caused these cities to become the focus of attention of an increasing number of international developers. On the other hand, one can observe an ever stronger position of some selected local companies (eg. Grupa Buma in Kraków, Archicom in Wrocław or Allcon in Trójmiasto). As a consequence of turbulences on financial markets, which took place in the 2008 and 2009, start of implementation of new investments on the planning stage can be postponed due to a limited access to debt financing and an increased caution of developers when it comes to starting new investments. The demand observed in 2008 in Warsaw was high, comparable to the record year 2007. In the period of January-December 2008 rental contracts for more than 445 000 sq.m. were signed in the capital, where over 60% of office area was rented as pre-lets, which was a result of diminished amount of area available in the existing buildings. In 2008, also some notable rental transactions were made by large entities, which decided to consolidate their activity in one location (eg. Pekao S.A. or TP S.A.). In some regional cities, the volume of signed rental contracts totalled almost 179 000 sq.m., whereas Kraków and Wrocław were the most interesting for the renting parties (respectively, 54 500 sq.m. and 57 000 sq.m. of rented area). The demand 7 was created mainly by companies offering professional services, finance and banking sector and the IT sector . st After the slowdown, which took place in the 1 quarter of 2009, the second quarter turned out to be more optimistic. Drops in rental fees and increases in prompts number resulted in a slight increase of volume of rental transactions. As a result, one can still observe a slight increase of the unrented area factor and further drops of rental fees. Still, the problems 8 related to funding of new investment cause, that many of the investment projects have been held off. The rental fees are similar in most of the regional cities and they are, on average, around 13-16 Euro/sq.m., that is, thez are rd about 10% lower than in the 3 quarter of 2008. In case of buildings, the fees are even lower and they are about 10-12 9 Euro/sq.m. The lowest fees were recorded in Łódź, Trójmiasto and Katowice. The difficulty in obtaining bank loans and higher bank profits cause a sharp increase in expenses made on investments. Bank requirements regarding high levels of pre-rent before the construction of office buildings starts render 6 Commercial Market 2009 – Knight Frank 2009 Marketbeat Polska – Autumn 2009 – Cushman & Wakefield 2009 8 Marketbeat Polska – Autumn 2009 – Cushman & Wakefield 2009 9 Office Area Market 3rd quarter of 2009 – Colliers International Poland 7 Page 59 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus implementation of a large part of the investment impossible. On the other hand, there is too little own assets, the source of which could be sales of existing office buildings, if such sales transactions took place, of course. Thus, the plans of the developers require a constant revision. It is estimated, that only 550 000 sq.m. has really bet release for use in the biggest Polish cities in 2009 (55% of the number already circulates on the market), and in 2010, probably only 345 000 sq.m. will be 10 delivered onto the market. Authors of the cited reports estimate, that even lower number if new implementation will arrive on the market in 2011– about 272 000 sq.m. – a period of 24 months is usually the timeframe required for economic effects to be reflected in supply of the real estates. The authors note, that current declarations of the developers regarding the plans for the 2010-2011 period a related to much higher values– almost twice as much for the 2010 and almost six times as much for the 2011. The Authors think, that new supply of office areas will slow down until 2011 and they do not expect that the developers would start a lot of new investments, despite the economic growth predicted for 2010 and the expected financial unfreezing in 2010. The slowdown of supply is also an effect of stopping construction works of implemented office buildings. It is estimated that 103 000 sq.m. of area is in that situation. Moreover, many objects in advanced planning stage will be shrunk, or divided into stage, and often the devlopers lean towards solutions, which are not capital-consuming. The year 2010 should be a year of favourable conditions for the renting parties. Such phenomena, as the growing subrental market (estimated in 2009 for 50 000 sq.m. in Warsaw and 10 000 sq.m. in Kraków), increasing availability of offices (282 000 sq.m. in main Polish cities) and pressure leading to lower rental fees have made a permanent effect on the market reality. These tendencies are related to all Polish markets and some differentiation throughout Poland can be made. This situation will probably continue until 2011. The authors expect, that until that time, available area will be consumed by the market, and that, combined with reactivation of demand resulting from the economic growth should give the developers a signal for starting construction works for new investments. The 2012 – 2013 period should thus bring a growthon the supply side of the office area market. The authors think that rental fees should respond to this situation even earlier. In an optimistic variant, transaction rental fees should stabilize in the half of 2010, and in 2011 small increase pressure on the rental fees may appear, not exceeding 3% y/y. This situation may happen in Warsaw and 2-3 other regional markets. Forecasts related to the level of rented office area in 2010 are very unsure. 4. Housing market. In the first half of 2009 the housing market in Poland showed little consumer activity, although apartment sales have nd increased, in comparison with results at the end of 2008, especially in the 2 quarter of 2009. Some markets in Poland have even recorded a two-digit increase in the number of locals sold. This result is not very optimistic, however, if we take into account the total data related to sales, which were few times worse than in the first half of 2008, especially in comparison with the same period of 2007. In the first half of 2009, drop of prices has made a contribution to the increase of demand, along with the possibility of price negotiations and interest in the government sponsored project of stimulation of the housing real estate market „Rodzina na swoim” on the side of buyers and developers, who started adjusting their prices to the prices of this program. The structure of demand has changed in favour of the cheaper apartmet. The program „Rodzina na swoim” cannot be seen as a panaceum for all problems of the market, however, since the real demand is still highly dependent on the possibility of obtaining a mortgage loan, expectation of the buyers and the general economical situation. Despite huge housing needs in Poland one has to expect, that in the mid-term perspective, the customers will still make their decision on real estate purchases very cautiously. nd In the 2 quarter of 2009 a correction of market price trends was seen – tempo of price drops slowed down, and some markets have even recorded a slight increase of average nominal prices. The markets of the first wave of housing boom (Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław) can expect a gradual swith to the path of prices increase and their further stabilistaion. The markets of the second wave (Trójmiasto, Łódź, Katowice, Poznań and other regional cities) are usually more prone to the effects of the crisis, but even in these cities first signs of prices increase could be seen. The significant changes leading to stabilisation in these markets should appear with some delay, though. One should not expect a sudden drop of prices of housing real estates, rather a stabilisation. The unsure mood holding on the market causes the prices of apartments to be still highly related to the future policy of banks within the field of funding and granting mortgage loans, to economic 11 expectations of the customers and to the state of Polish economy in the face of the global economic crisis. 5. Investment transactions. The negative sequence of events observed in 2009 on the market of real estate is a consequence of serious turbulences in the financial sector. The crisis of global financial markets has not evaded Poland, especially the buyers, who participated in large extent in the bank funding, because costs of this funding has significantly increased, while the access to the funding remains very limited (especially for high ratios of the loan to the value of the real estate). As a consequence, the value of transactions made has drastically dropped, while still single transactions on the real estate market can be seen. One has to note, that Poland started to feel the effect of the global resession only after September/October of 2008. Despite the large 10 Forecast of development of office real estate in Poland: Back to the Future? – Jones Lang LaSalle, Institute for Studies on Market Economy - August 2009 11 Marketbeat Polska – Autumn 2009 – Cushman & Wakefield 2009 Page 60 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus drop of turnover on the real estate market, capitalisation rates in the firest 8-9 months of 2008 have not undergone serios fluctuations. The situation dramatically changed after the fall of Lehman Brothers and the second wave of crisis on the 12 financial markets. According to the authors of the cited report, capitalisation rates for the best office real estates in 2009 equalled 7,25-7,50% and about 7,00% for the best commercial centres. The capitalistation rates have been decompressed due to the global economic slowdown, lower interest of the investors and low availability of bank funding. However, the authors of the report do not expect further decompression of the rates in the near future. Even higher capitalisation rates will not generate higher turnover on the market, since most of the real estate owners will probably not decide to sell their properties with a large correction of prices. The authors of the report predict and increase of transaction activity, drawing more capital searching the investment product and trying to use revisioned price expectations of some sellers, along with strong macroeconomic and demographic basis of Poland. 6.2.2.

In the first half of 2009, this participation dropped to the level of 67%. It was a result of increase of own capital in the Group of the Issuing Party, greater than the increase of obligations Short-term obligations dominated the structure of obligations financing the activity of the Group of the Issuing party in the years of 2006 and 2008. In 2007 and in the first half of 2009, this situation has changed in the favour of longterm obligations. The debt indicator of own capital is variable in the period studied and it oscillated in the range of 1,05 – 3,03. The increase of this indicator to the level of 3,03 in 2008 was caused by a significant increase of total obligations in relation to a small increase of own capital.

Viability analysis Page 80 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Viability analysis of the Group of the Issuing Party has been presented in the table below. Table. Flow indicators and rotation cycles. Details st st 1 half of 2009 1 half of 2008 2008 2007 2006 Current flow index 0,67 0,67 0,67 1,53 1,00 Fast flow index 0,14 0,13 0,13 0,38 0,26 221,63 437,21 389,51 438,55 270,84 45,94 80,09 87,57 115,4 91,33 414,35 540,12 565,24 447,85 395,11 Reserve rotation cycle (days) Active debt collection cycle (days) Debt regulation cycle (days) Source: Issuing Party Rules of indicator calculations: Current flow index – as a relation of current assets to short-term obligations, Fast flow index – as a relation of current assets minus reverses to short-term obligations, Reserve rotation cycle – as a relation of average reserve level to sales income, multiplied by 365 days and multiplied by „n” (n = 1 in the case of a year, n = 1/2 in the case of half a year), Active debt collection cycle – as a relation of average active debt level to sales income, multiplied by 365 days and multiplied by „n” (n = 1 in the case of a year, n = 1/2 in the case of half a year), Debt regulation cycle – as a relation of average current debt level to sales income, multiplied by 365 days and multiplied by „n” (n = 1 in the case of a year, n = 1/2 in the case of half a year). The current flow index shows, how well the currents assets cover current obligations. The desired level of current flow st index is in the range of 1,0 – 2,0. In 2006 – 2007 the value of this index was maintained in the desired level. In the 1 half of 2009, the value of this index could also exceed 1,0, if one took into account the fact of prolongation of payment deadline nd for one of the loans, which took place in the 2 part of 2009. The fast flow index informs, how much the most fluid current assets cover current obligations. The desired level of this index is in the range of 0,5 – 1,0. The fast flow index of the Group of Issuing Party showed large variability in the period of 2006 – 2008, oscillating in the range of 0,13 – 0,38, which is below the suggested norm. In the first half of 2009, this index reached the value of 0,14, an improvement in comparison to 2008, however it is still below the suggested norm and it would equal 0,23, if one took into account the fact of prolongation of payment deadline of the aforementioned loan. In the case of the Group of the Issuing Party, the nature of business activity (construction) enables to maintain a high level of current obligations for the partners, which influences the levels of viability indices. The reserve rotation cycle in days defines, how often does the company refresh its reserves on performing a st particular sale. In the Group of the Issuing Party, this index shows a large variability in the period of 2006 – 1 half of 2009. This variability is a result of the fact, that the Issuing Party treats its reserve as goods, namely – gronds purchased for future sellback. Transactions related to purchased grounds usually last from few to even several tens of months and it influences the level of reserves, which is always high. The collection cycle, which represents (in days) the average waiting time for debt collection, this index is also very variable in the period of 2006 – 2008 and in the first half of 2009. The increase of collection period in 2007 was a result of the fact, that the Issuing Party was implementing ever bigger investments, where the payments are often performed in tranches, on the basis of stages of products, released by the Partnership. The debt regulation cycle in days defined the time of regulation of current obligations. Obligation regulation time in gradually increased in the period od 2006 – 2008, from 395 days to 565 days. These indices were bigger than those related to debt collection time in the aforementioned period, which was caused by holding a high level of pre-payments obtained for future supplies of products implemented in timeframes of few, sometimes even few tens of months, financing of current activity of the Group of the Issuing Party using current loans, renewed each year and high level od investment obligations taken for the implementation of investment projects. In the first half of 2009 this index dropped to the level of 414 days. 10.4. Information about any restrictions in using capital assets, which had, or which could have influenced, directly of indirectly, the current activity of the Issuing Party th According to the investment loan contract dated September 30 , 2008, signed by the dependent unit E.F.

Proper statementsth obligations on cancelling payouts of the dividend were signed on September 30 , 2008 by the Board of the dominant entity Rank Progress S.A. and the main shareholders of the dominating entity, i.e. Jan Mroczka and Andrzej Bartnicki. Obligations covered by these statements cannot be dismissed without permission from BZ WBK S.A. Currently, the Boards of the Issuing Party and its dependent entity have started negotiations with BZ WBK S.A. in order to dismiss a part of financial surplus from the obligation of permission obtaining from BZ WBK S.A. for the payment of the dividend. The Board of the Issuing Party does not exclude, that in the future, limitations on payments of parts of the dividend or the entire dividend or granting loans within the Group of the Issuing Party, can be placed on the dependent units implementing future investment projects. However, the Board of the Issuing Party requires during negotiations of other investment loans Page 81 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus for its dependent companies, that the financial insitutions took into account the fact that cash surpluses in the intended companies will be transferred to the dominating entity and that it can be located in future investments or in dividend payments, while preparing loan conditions.

Additionally, the annexes predict additional obligations of the Partnership and a modification of agreed parameters if the conditions presented in the annexes are not met. According to the annex signed on th September 10 , 2009, the dependent company of the Issuing Party, E.F. Progress V Sp. z o.o. to the loan contract mentioned in p. 22.1.7 Part III of this Prospectus, the most important changes in comparison to the initial contract st were related to the extension of loan period to September 1 , 2013 (the initial contract defined this deadline as th June 30 , 2009 with the option of 15-year extension if some conditions are met) with the option of extension st (under some conditions) to Septeber 1 , 2016, changes of capital installment levels includint a yearly loan depreciation of 1,5%, incremented bank interest and change of the „cash sweep” mechanism. Additionally, the annex includes additional obligations of the Partnership and modifications of agreed parameters if the conditions presented in the annex are not met.

The Issuing Party does not predict any significant risks related to not making the payments of the said loans within deadline.

The registration proceeding related to these trademarks is underway. 12. Information about tendences 12.1. The most significant recent tendences in production, sales and supplies, as well as in costs and sale prices for the period from the date of last tax year finish until the date of Prospectus approval Becasue of the global crisis on the financial and real estate markets, in 2009 the Issuing Party has lowered the level of its engagement in implementation and sales of highly profitable, short-term projects in favour of long-term investment projects with stable income andcosts, i.e. projects related to commercial objects designed for long-term rent. This tendency is reflected in consolidate financial reports by systematic increase of income from rent of commercial objects and value of real estate investments. At the same time, because of the crisis and changes of market conditions related to the crisis, the Issuing Party has revisioned its investment plans in 2008 and 2009, delaying implementation of some investment projects, as well as designing some projects, which do not satisfy expectations of the Issuing Party, for sale, and this decision caused a significant increase in the value of reserves in consolidated financial reports, in comparison to previous years. Turbulences on the financial markets have touched not only the investors of owners of commercial galleries, but also a part of the renting parties, who had to revision their plans related to expansion or to hold the expansion off or more selectively approach new locations. The significant increase of Euro rates in the beginning of 2009 probably also had negative influence on their financial situation, especially if they purchased their store collections or obtained loans in Euro. All these factors were reflected in a weak financial condition of the companies, especially from the textile market, which was the reason that some of them, if they have not applied for bankruptcy, then they at least have started renegotiations of rental contracts in order to lower the rent-related obligations. On the other hand, many trademarks still continue their expansion on the Polish market or they plan entering the Polish market, also thanks to the weaker competition. However, despite precidted and continued expansion, one can see a general drop of demand on new commercial area and one can also see an increase in free, unrented commercial area. Due to limited expansion of renting parties, limitations in acquisition of bank funding, one could recently see a drop tendency of rental fees in relation to rental contracts signed in 2007 and 2008, with the exception of the most attractive commercial centres, along with am increased bidding strength or potential renting parties, which want ever higher standard of the area’s decor, zero rental fee for the first few months and additional gratifications covering the expenses of the area’s decor as prompts. Starting from the mid-year 2009, the Issuing Party has observed a slight stabilisation of the real estate market, which allowed a verification of investment plans on the basis of stable data regarding expected rental fees for particular, implemented commercial objects (lower than market rental fees in 2008 and previous years), interest rates (lower than those effective in 2008 and previous years), bank profits (higher than those effective in 2008 and later years), construction costs (lower than those still effective in the beginning of 2009 and previous years), etc. As indicated above, many of the real estates were designed by the Issuing Party for sale. However, throughout the entire year 2009, up to the date of Prospectus creation, no significant sales of this type of real estates have been performed. It Page 83 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus was a result of a few factors – e.g. diffictulties related to acquisitiong of bank financing, high level of real estate reserves in many of the most important market players, who often purchased real estates for future development projects during the hossa of 2007 and 2008 and who now await an improvement, which will allow to perform and to sell the investments, while retaining proper financial parameters and with more cautious analysis of investment risk, which is also translated into longer times of procedures related to finalisation of transactions. This situation is the reason that the sale prices obtained during the time of hossa are not currently possible to obtain in most of the cases. The current stabilisation on the real estate market and observed increase of interest of the investors in the real estates planned for sale by the Issuing Party, indicates a possibility of performing such transactions at satisfactory prices even in 2010 and which will later reach the level of at least account value of these real estates, included in consolidated financial reports of the Issuing Parties. At the same time, the Issuing Party does not exclude the possibility of returning to the implementation of investment projects based on the owned grounds. Taking into account the fact that the aforementioned grounds have their local spatial development plans, and most of the agreements, then the decision regarding the start of the investment can be made in a very short time, and that should transform into a significant rise of income, which at the same time will be postponed in time. 12.2. Information about any known tendencies, unsure elements, claims, obligations or events, which are rather sure to influence the perspectives of the Issuing Party at least until the end of current tax year The macroeconomic situation of Poland The entirety of the Partnership’s income is related to its activity on the domestic market and thus it is indirectly dependent on factors related to the general macroeconomic situation of Poland, e.g. such, as unemployment level, economic growth rate or inflation rate. Perturbations on the international financial markets have influenced the economic situation of Poland. A drop of economic growth rate, increase of unemployment level and depreciation of PLN rates in relation to foreign currencies have been observed. Economic tendencies described above have influenced the income level of the Group of the Issuing Party. However, the macroeconomic situation should improve in 2010, which should see a positive reflection in the situation of the Group of the Issuing Party Legal regulations Legal regulations of Polish law can also significantly influence the activity of the Group of the Issuing Party. Th Issuing Party does not predict any significant changes to Polish law taking place at least until the end of 2010, which could influence the activity of the Group of the Issuing Party. Dynamics and directions of development of the markets of the Group of the Issuing Party The activity of the Group of the Issuing Party can be influenced by dynamics and development of markets, on which the activity of the Group of the Issuing Party is located. Since the mid-year 2009, one can observe a slight improvement of dynamics and directions development of markets, on which the Group of the Issuing Party acts. According to the knowledge of the Issuing Party, the dynamics and development of the markets of the Group of the Issuing Party should be faovurable for the activity of the Group of the Issuing Party, at least until the end of 2010. Competition of other entities The development perspectives of the Group of the Issuing Party depend on the intensity of competition actions of domestic and foreign companies present on the Polish market. Actions of the competition should not significantly influence the activity of the Group of Issuing Party, at least until the end of 2010. Currency rate changes The activity of the Group of the Issuing Party is influenced by currency rate changes, especially the Euro rate changes. According to the edge of the Issuing arty, the foreseeable currency rate changes should not significantly influence the activity of the Group of the Issuing Party, at least until the end of 2010.

Part III „Registration Document”. 13. Result forecasts or estimated results 13.1. Basic assumptions of forecasts of estimations of the Issuing Party Methodology of financial results forecasts and estimated results for the Capital Group Rank Progress S.A. While preparing a results forecast for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, the Board of the Issuing Party included, e.g.: Page 84 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Generally available macroeconomic forecasts for Polish economy, which can influence the activity of the Capital Group, Generally available analyses of commercial real estate market, which is the market of the activity of the Group of the Issuing Party, related to the forecast of its development, Own judgement of development perspectives of Polish commercial real estate market, Strategic plans of the Capital Group, related to e.g. future investments, costs, incomes, and financial flows as well as financing the activity. 13.1.1. Assumptions for estimated results of the Issuing Party Estimated results of the Capital Group of the Issuing Party for the year 2009 have been created on the basis of transactions st st performed by the Capital Group of the Issuing Party in the period from January 1 to December 31 , 2009 roku, by using the same methods of evaluation and presentations, as used to create the yearly financial report of the Issuing Party, including those, which were used to create historical financial information presented in the Prospectus. st Evaluation of investments in the commercial real estates finshed before December 31 , 2009, to their fair value, along with evaluation of ground real estates classified as investment real estates was based on estimated operates obtained in the year 2009, performed by independent experts, corrected by the Issuing Party with factors present between the date the st estimation of operates has been performed and December 31 , 2009, which can influence the value of these real estates, estimated within these operates. The Board of the Issuing Party took all possible care in order for the estimated results to be reliable, i.e., the estimations have been made using the same rules and procedures as those used in yearly financial reports. The estimated results presented in this Prospectus can differ from the values resulting from a studied, yearly, consolidated financial report of the Capital Group of the Issuing Party for the year 2009. 13.1.2. Assumptions for financial forecasts, independent from the Issuing Party While preparing a results forecast for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, the Board of the Issuing Party included macroeconomic data. Forecasts of incomes and costs made by the Issuing Party included the predicted inflation rate of 2% yearly, however, because indexation of rental fees with the inflation rate is used, it is predicted that these factors will not have significant influence on the forecasts of the Issuing Party. Additional factors related to the forecasts, independent from the Issuing Party: Rental fees have been determined based on: Current data obtained in the negotiation process performed by the Issuing Party with potential renting parties (currently, the Issuing Party itself commercialises its commercial objects), An analogy to current fees applied by the Issuing Party in existing objects, Data obtaine from estimated operates of market value of existing and future investment real estates of the Issuing Party, prepared by independent advisory companies. Capitalisation rate of 8,5%, used in estimations of fair value of planned, real estate investment, has been determined basing on: Estimated operates of market value of existing and future objects of the Issuing Party created by independent advisory companies, Negotiations performed by the Issuing Party with potential customers interested in purchasing single projects of the Issuing Party, Generally available reports and analyses of the real estate market made by renown companies, such as Knight Frank and Cushman & Wakefield, presenting tendencies in the field of shaping discount rates and capitalisation of commercial real estates, Values of transaction prices related to short-term investment projects have been based on: Signed contracts, which will be implemented in the future, Estimated operates of market value of current and future investment real estates of the Issuing Party, created by independent experts, Negotiations underway. Interest rates of 1% i 3,5%, respectively, for loans denominated in Euro and in zlotys, bank profits and commissions of banks financing the investments were based on: Obtained in real time, initial conditions of real estate investments financed by banks interested in financing a particular projects, Interest rates and commissions applied by banks to the constructed investments of the Issuing Party, Page 85 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Negotiations performed with banks; Published EURIBOR and WIBOR interest rates. st Evaluation of commercial real estate investments finished before December 31 , 2009, to their fair value and evaluation of ground real estates classified as investment real estates was created on the basis of obtained, estimated operates, performed by independent experts. The next years of the forecast do not include further changes in fair value of investment real estates. 13.1.3. Assumptions for financial forecasts dependent on the Issuing Party The Board of Rank Progres S.A. based its prepared forecast for the years 2010, 2011, 2012 on the main assumptions: The Issuing Party intends to implement planned investments, The Issuing Party shall implement planned short-term investments, Total rental areas for implemented and future objects are calculated on the basis of designs and architectural concepts preparted for investments, Income from rents is a product of rental area and average yearly rental fees, set on the basis of already signed rental contracts, along with negotiated and expected contracts, Current activity costs, including costs of general Board, are based on data for the last finished tax year and it includes escalation of costs, e.g. caused by increase of the number of employees. The operational costs of particular investment real estates are based on the historical data on costs of investment real estates, which are already finished, Exploitation fees income are equal to operational costs of the particular investment minus costs, which are not reinvoiced on the renting parties and which have been estimated on the basis of implemented, similar investments, Sales income from the development activity has been based only on those investments, which are probable to be implemented, Income from the sales of investment real estates have been based on negotiations performed with potential buyers, Investment real estates during the construction stage are evaluated to their fair value according to the accounting policy used, where the fair value is scouted as proportional to the costs of investment creation from the start of investment financing by the bank; No future changes of the fair value set at the moment when the construction works are finished are planned, Evaluation of planned real estate investments – commercial objects to their fair value is made on the basis of the following equation: (expected yearly income from rent) / (capitalisation rate), Costs of financing investments in their construction stage is related to the costs of this investment and they have been taken into account during profit estimation for that particular investment, Expenses on construction works related to investments in the construction stage have been uniformly included in the commercial object construction period, The forecast does not include increase of the value of ground designed for sale, which have been treated as goods, The drop of value of the grounds designed for sale has been included, where the grounds have ben treated as goods on the basis of estimated operates of market values prepared by independent experts, Investment financing will be based on own assets generated from own business activity, assets obtained from the Issue of Series C Shares and bank loans taken in PLN during the construction stage and later changed into bank loans denominated in Euro, Future expenses on investment real estates have been predicted on the basis of estimates prepared by the Issuing Party, No changes in the level of debts and active debts are predicted after 2010 (by virtue of supplies and services and other sources) in the forecasts, The forecasts predicts a new issue of shares, Starting from 2010, the forecasts assume a payment of dividend on the level of 10% of net profit for the previous year.

Report of independent accountants or expert auditors on the correctness of financial forecasts and estimated results preparations Report of an expert auditor on the correctness of financial forecasts and estimated results preparations For the General Assebly, Supervisory Board and Board of RANK PROGRESS S.A. We have peformed confirmation works, with the subject of the works being estimated results and financial forecasts, including forecast of net sales income, profit from operational activity (EBIT), profit from operational activity increased by depreciation (EBITDA) and net profit of the Capital Group RANK PROGRESS („Group”) for tax years ending on December st st st st 31 , 2009 („Estimated results”) and December 31 , 2010, December 31 2011 and December 31 , 2012 („Results forecast”). The Estimated results and the Results forecast, together with significant assumptions which form their basis, have been presented in p. 13.1. of the Registration Document prepared by the Issuing Party. The Board of the Issuing Party holds the sole responsibility for preparation of Estimated results and Results forecast, including their assumptions. Our task was to give an opinion on these Estimated results and Results forecasts on the basis of our works. These works were performed according to the International Standard of Attestation Services 3400, applied to checking predicted financial information, issued by the International Federation of Accountants („IFAC”). These works included a consideration, if the Estimated results and Results forecasts have been properly set on the basis of revealed assumptions, according to the rules of accounting assumed by the Issuing Party. Our works have been planned and performed in such a way, that we could gather information and explanations which we decided to be necessary to be adequately sure, that the Estimated results and Results forecast have been (on the basis of specified assumptions), properly created and that applied accounting rules are coherent with the accounting rules presented in the introduction to the financial report presented in chapter 20 of the Registration Document. Because the Results forecast and its assumptions are related to the future and thus they may be influenced by unexpected events, we do not state that the real results will be similar to those presented in the Results forecast and if the differences would be significant. Besides, the Estimated results can differ from values that will be obtained from the studied, yearly consolidated financial report of the Capital Group of the Issuing Party for the year 2009, which was pointed at by the Board of the Issuing Party in presented assumptions of the Estimated results. Such a situation may be a results of e.g. changes of currency rates assumed for evaluation of fair values of investment real estates. In our opinion, the Estimated results and the Result forecast have been properly prepared on the basis of assumptions listed in the Registration Document p. 13.1., and the made assumptions form a rational basis for creation of predicted financial results, while applied accounting rules are coherent with accounting rules presented in the introduction to the financial report presented in chapter 20 of the Registration Document. o This report has been prepared according to the requirements of a Regulation of the Commitee (EC) N 809/2004 dated th April 29 , 2004 executing the Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the information contained in issue prospectuses and the form of inclusion by reference and on publication of such issue prospectuses and th advertisement propagation (Dz.

PROFESCAPITAL Sp. z o.o. has performed restructurisation projects of companies which are in a difficult economic situation from its very inception. Such projects were implemented, e.g. in the Wielton S.A. capital group (Wieluń), or Delko S.A. (Śrem). Paweł Puterko as the Board Chairman managed a financial restructurisation project in the Lo-Ka Sp. z o.o. company, a frozen food distributor. In 2005 PROFESCAPITAL Sp. z o.o. signed a contract with this company and its shareholders, related to restructurisation and obtaining permanent business profitability. At the moment the contract was signed, the company had very small sales, which did not allow it to reach the profitability threshold, huge debt in banks and to suppliers, as well as revoked limits of trade loans. This company was also a subject of vindication proceedings. The goal od PROFESCAPITAL Sp. z o.o. was to restore loan limits of the main suppliers, restoring trade circulation and turnover, reaching the profitability threshold and then – restructurisation of obligations. This result has been temporarily obtained, but this success was a result of the summer season, when the consumption of ice-creams reaches its yearly top, which consisted a majority of Lo – Ka’s sales. After the season, sales have dramatically dropped again, the suppliers refused to continue trade limits and the restructurisation project became impossible to implement as a result.

According to the said resolutions, monthly salaries of the Supervisory Board members are as follows: Supervisory Board Chairman – 50 000 PLN, Supervisory Board Deputy Chairman – 4 000 PLN, Supervisory Board Member – 3 000 PLN.

Audit Committee and Issuing Party’s Salary Committee No Audit Committee or a Salary Committee has been created within the Supervisory Board of the Issuing Party. Because there are five members of the Supervisory Board total and there are no indpendent members, the Issuing Party deems a creation of a Salary Committee irrelevant, because its duties can be full executed by the entire Supervisory Board. However, the Board of the Issuing Party intends to recommend an election of a new Supervisory Board member by this organ at the next General Assembly, who would meet the requirements of art. 86 p. 4 of the Act on expert auditors and their selfgoverning bodies and on the public supervision, whereas this member shall be qualified in accounting or financial revision, as well as creation of an Audit Committee by the Supervisory Board. 16.4. Rules of corporate order th According to the resolution dated February 13 , 2008., the Board of the Issuing Party decided to keep a corporation in the Issuing Party, starting from the day the approval of circulation of the Issuing Party’s shares on GPW in Warsaw, which are th described in the resolution 12/1170/2007 of the Supervisory Board of the Stock Exchange dated July 4 , 2007 („Good Practice of the Companies quoted at GPW”). A proper report containing information on which of the rules are not applied, reasons for not applying a specific rule or methods planned to be used by the Issuing Party in order to miminize the risk of not applying the rules of corporate order will be published in the future as a current communication, in addition, contents of the Issuing Party’s report shall be published o its website. Additionally, the Partnership decided that the Partnership will follow all rules of the corporation order, excluding the following rules: II.1 p.6, II.1 p.7 (until the Partnership obtains the status of a public partnership), III.1, III.7, III.8. The Issuing Party presented its justification of not adhering to the aforementioned rules. o Rule N II.1 p.6: „The Partnership manages a corporate website and places there: (…) Annual reports on the actions of the Supervisory Board, including works of its committees, together with an evaluation of the actions of the supervisory board along with an internal control system and a risk management system, important for the Partnership.” This rule is not and will not be applied in the part related to reports on the works of committees and in the evaluation of the internal control system and the risk management system important for the Partnership, since no committees exist within the activity of the Supervisory Board. o Rule N II.1 p.7: „The Partnership manages a corporate website and places there: (…) Questions of the shareholders related to the issues included in the order of assembly, asked before and during the general assembly, together with answers to those questions.” This rule is currently not applied. This rule will be applied, once the Partnership obtains the public partnership status. o Rule N III.1 p.1: „Except for actions listed in legal regulations, the Supervisory Board should: once a year, perform and present during a normal general assembly a compact evaluation of the state of the Partnership, including evaluation of internal control system and risk management system, important for the Partnership.” This rules is not and will not be applied in the part related to system evaluation. Because no committees exist within the Supervisory Board, which are Page 98 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus responsible for evaluation of the internal control system and risk management system significant for the company, the Supervisory Board will not present an evaluation of these systems to the general assembly. o Rule N III.7: „At least one audit committee should function within the Supervisory Board. This committee should include at least member, which is independent from the Partnership and from the entities strictly related to the Partnership, competent in the area of accounting and finances. In partnerships, which have the Supervisory Board consisting of the minimal number of members provided by law, the Supervisory Board can perform the duties of the committee.” This rule is not and will not be applied, since no committees function within the Supervisory Boards. The Partnership takes the stance, that separation of committees within the Supervisory Board has no justification. The Supervisory Board collegially works and makes decisions regarding competences of the committees. The Supervisory Board consists of members having proper knowledge and competences in this field. th th Within the Issuing Party no separate Audit Committee or a Salary Committee exists. On June 6 , 2009, an act dated May 7 , 2009 on expert auditors and their self-governing bodies, entitites approved for studying financial reports and on public o supervision (Dz. U. 2009 r., N 77, pos. 649) went into effect, according to which, within the structure of a party issuing securitied approved for circulation on a regulated market of a EU member state, an audit committee should exist, consisting of at least 3 members elected from the members of the supervisory board. At least one member of the audit committee should meet conditions of independence defined in the act and should be qualified in accounting or financial revision. Because of this, the Issuing Party indicates that once its securities are approved for circulation, it will be necessary to elect an audit committee, which meets requirements defined in the said act, which may make changes in the staff of Supervisory Board necessary. o Rule N III.8: „In the field of duties and functioning of committess acting within the Supervisory Board, the Appendix I to the th Suggestion of the European Committee date February 15 , 2005, on the role of non-executive directors (…).” o This rule is not and will not be used by the Supervisory Board of Rank Progress S.A., because the N 7 rule part III „Good Practices used by the Supervisory Boards members” is not applied. No committees function within the Supervisory Board. 17. Employees 17.1.

As of the date of approval of these historical financial information for publishing, taking into account the fact that the process of ISFR standards implementation is underway within EU and the activity of the Group, in the field of accounting rules applied by the Group no significant differences have been observed between effective ISFR standards, and the ISFR standards being implemented by the EU. ISFR include standards and interpretations accepted by the International Accounting Standards Council („IASC”) and by the Committee for Interpretation of International Accounting Reporting („CIIAR”).

ISFR 8 Operational segments – The Group has presented the report according to the operational segments, in accordance with the new ISFR 8 regulations. Currently, ISFR in the shape approved by the EU do not significanly from the regulations approved by the International Accounting Standards Council (IASC), excluding interpretations presented belw, which have not yet been approved for use st as of December 31 , 2008: ISFR 1 (change) „First instance of application of International Standards of Financial Reporting" and to MSR 27 (zmiana) "Consolidated and unitary financial reports "- published on May 22nd 2008, modified ISFR 1 and MSR 27 is effective in st relation to yearly periods starting on January 1 , 2009 of later.

MSR 27 (change) „Consolidated and unitary financial reports"- published on January 10th, 2008 and effective in relation st to reporting periods starting on July 1 , 2009 or later.

MSR 39 (change) „Financial Instruments: inclusion and evaluation"- published on July 31st, 2008, these changed are st retrospectively applied to yearly periods stating on July 1 , 2009 or later. MSR 39 (change) „Reclassification of financial assets: effectiveness date and regulations of the transition period" th st published on November 27 , 2008. For reclassifications performed before November 1 , 2008: the partnership can st st reclassify the financial assets with date effective from July 1 , 2008 (but not earlier) or on any day other than July 1 st st 2008, but not later than at October 31 2008. The assets must be recognized and documented before November 1 , 2008 or after that date (regardless of the starting time of the reporting period) are effective since the reclassification date i.e. reclassifications are made at the moment of their actual reclassification. ISFR (2008) „Amendments to the International Standards of Financial Reporting 2008" – published on May 22nd, 2008. st The majority of amendments is effective for yearly periods starting on January 1 , 2009 or after that date.

The Group does not predict that introduction of these standards or interpretations could significantly influence the accounting rules (policy) applied by the Capital Group. In 2009, the European Union approved for useinterpretations and further changes to the existing ISFR standards, introduced by the IASR. The Group does not predict that application of these changes and interpretations could significantly influence the accounting policy applied by the Capital Group, with the exception of changes introduced to MSR 40 st „Investment real estates”, which apply to periods starding on January 1 , 2009 or later. According to these changes, entities which accepted a model of evaluation of investment real estates to their fair value are obliged to perform such evaluation also for real estates under construction. According to the previously effective rules, the Issuing Party has evaluated real Page 129 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus estates under construction according to the MSR 16 i.e. historical cost of creation of purchase, thus the application of the modified evaluation model will cause evaluation of the difference from overestimation of these real estate in periods previous to the period, in which the real estate was released for use. Because no evaluations to the fair values for the real estates under construction, owned by the Issuing Party are available, the influence of application of new rules to this data for each balance day included in the historical financial information cannot be defined. Additionally, the Group does not predict, that application of standards, which are already published, but not approved by the EU, should significantly influence data presented in this Prospectus as historical financial information. 10. Significant values based on professional judgement and estimations The Board of the Dominant Unit has used the best of its knowledge related to the applied standards and interpretations, as well as to methods and rules of evaluation of particular entries of these historical financial information. Preparation of historical financial information according to the ISFR required the Board to make some estimations and assumptions, which are reflected in this information. The actual results may differ from these estimations. Below, the basic assumptions related to the future are discusses, along with other key uncertainity sources as of the balance date, which are related to a significant risk of a large correction of balance value of assets and obligations in the next financial year. Leasing contracts classification The Group is a party of leasing contracts, which meet the requirements of financial leasing contracts according to the Board. Assets and reserves for delayed income tax Assets and reserves for delayed income tax are evaluated using tax rates, which, according to the effective regulations, will be applied at the moment of asset implementations or reserve cancellation, taking tax regulations in legal or actual effect on the balance day, as basis. The Group defines the part of assets by virtue of delayed income tax, basing on the assumption that a tax profit will be obtained, which will allow its use. Drop of tax results in the future could render this assumption irrelevant.’ Depreciation fees The level of depreciation is defined on the basis of predicted period of economic usefulness of elements of tangible fixed assets and non-material values. These estimations are based on predicted life cycles of particular tangible fixed assets, which may change in the future. Evaluation of investment real estates to their fair value The Group evaluates investment real estates according to a fair value model, using evaluations made by professional experts. Extracts updating supplies value The Group makes an estimation for each balance day, if there are any indications of value loss for real estates classified as supplies. If such indications of value loss exist, the Group makes extracts, which update the real estate value to the level of recovered value, i.e. to the higher of two values: fair value minus sale costs or useful value. Extracts updating obligations The Group has updated values of obligations, estimated the probability of obtaining income from outdated active debts and loans given and estimated the value of lost income, for which an updating extract was made. Fair value of derivative instruments The Group has defined the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which are not quoted on active markets (eg. forward contracts) on the basis of evaluations obtained from banks, which are parties of these contracts. These evaluations include discounted future flows generated by these instruments and by predictes currency rates. 11. Important accounting rules Basis of preparation Historical financial information has been prepared according to the rule of historical cost, with the exception of evaluation of investment real estates to their fair values and evaluation of derivative financial instruments. The historical financial information have been presented in Polish currency, and all values, unless stated otherwise, are given in thousands of Polish zlotys. Consolidation rules Page 130 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Financial reports of dependent companies are created for the same reporting periods as the reports of Dominating Unit, applying coherent accounting rules, on the basis of uniform accounting rules applied to the transactions and similar economic events. Corrections are introduced in order to eliminate discrepancies in the applied accounting rules. The Dominating Unit and dependent units prepare unitary financial reports according to the Polish Accouting Standards („PAS”), thus, for the needs of consolidation, they are adjusted to the ISFRF. All significant saldos and transactions between the units of the Group, including unsettled profits and losses resulting from transactions made within the Group, have been wholly eliminated. The dependent units undergo consolidation in the period from taking the control over them by the Group, and they stop being consolidated until the date of control cessation. The control of the Dominating Unit takes place then, when it directly or indirectly, thorugh its dependent parties, owns more than a half of votes in the given company, unless it can be proven that such ownership does not grant the control over the company. The control also takes place then, when the Unit can influence the financial and operational policy of the particular unit. Participations of the minority in the net assets (excluding value of the company) of consolidated dependent entities are presented in a separate position of own capital „Minority participations”. Minority participations consist of value of shares on the day of business units fusion and minority shares in the changes of own capital, starting from the date of the fusion. Losses assigned to minority participations, which exceed the participation in the basic capital of the entity, are allocated to the Group’s shares, with the exception of binding obligation and the ability of minor shareholders to perform additional investments, which are about to cover the losses. Business entities fusions Overtakes of dependent units are settled using the purchase method. The cost of units fusion is evaluated to aggregated fair value (as of the payment date) of assets transfered, taken or overtaken obligations and capital instruments issued by the Group in exchange for overtaking the dependent unit, increased by costs directly related to the fusion of business units. Identifiable assets, obligations and conditional obligations of the overtaken unit, meeting the inclusion requirements according to ISFR 3 „Business units fusion" are included in the fair value as of the overtake date, excluding fixed assets (or groups for disposal), classified as destined for sale, according to ISFR 5 „Fixed assets designed for disposal and activity cancellation", included in and evaluated to the fair value minus sales costs. Company value The value of the company created as a result of the overtake results from the event of surplus of unit overtake cost in comparison to the participation of the Group in net fair value of identifiable assets, obligations and conditional obligations of the dependent unit, associated unit or a joint venture, included as of the overtake date. The value of the company is initally included as an element of assets after the cost, and then evaluated according to the cost minus the accumulated loss by virtue of values loss. For the needs of value loss testing, the value of the company is allocated to the particular units of the Group generating monetary flows, which should make profit from the synergies resulting from the fusion. Investment real estates Investment real estates are defined as a ground, a building or a part of a building, which is treated by the Group as a source of rental income or which the Group holds because of the increase of its value. The condition of inclusion in this balance entry is the probability of obtaining economic benefits by virtue of ownership of the given real estate and the possibility of creditable estimation of purchase cost or of creation cost. The initial inclusion of investment real estates is made according to the purchase price, including transaction costs. The balance value of this element of the assets includes the cost of replacement of a part of the investment real estate the moment the cost is paid, if the inclusion criteria are met, and if the cost does not include current maintenance of the real estate. After the inital inclusion, the investment real estates are listed according to their real values. Profits or losses resulting from changes of the real value of investment real estates are included in the account of profits and losses for the period they have taken place. The investment real estates are removed from the balance in the case of their disposal or in the case of permanent removal of the real estate from use, if no future profits are expected from its sale. All profits or losses resulting from the removal of the investment real estate from the balance are included in the account of profits and losses for the period they have taken place. Page 131 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Transfers of assets to the investment real estates are made only then, when their mode of use is changed, as confirmed by the end of assets element usage by the owner, by signing an operational leasing contract or by finishing construction works/creation of the investment real estate. If the element of assets used by the owner becomes an investment real estate, the Group applies rules described in the Fixed assets part until the mode of usage for this real estate is changed. In the case of transfer of assets from the supples to the investment real estate, the difference of fair value of the real estate estimated as of the transfer date and its previous balance value is included in the account of profits and losses. When the Group finishes construction works or the creation process of an investment real estate, the difference between the fair value estimated for this day and its previous balance value is included in the account of profits and losses. In the case of a transfer of investment real estate to the assets used by the owner or to the supplies, the suspected costs of such an element of the assets, which will be accepted for its inclusion in another category is equal to the fair value of the real estate evaluated on the date of the usage mode change. Investment real estates under construction The investment real estates are listed in the real estate entry as real estates under construction until the time their construction is finished or the time they are created. Costs of agent commissions for finishing the commercial area rental contracts and expenses on finishing of the premises of the renting parties are included in active debts in other assets, accoring to the rental contracts. These costs are later included in the overestimation amount of investment real estates, which they are related to. Fixed assets Fixed assets acquired in separate transactions are listed at their historical cost minus the cancellation and accumulated loss caused by the value loss. The depreciation is calculated using a linear method for the predicted usage period of these assets. The predicted usage period and the depreciation are verified at the end of each yearly reporting period, and the effects of changes in these estimations are related to future periods. Assets maintained on the basis of financial leasing contracts are depreciated through their predicted usage period using the same rules as in the case of own assets, if there is a certainity of obtaining ownership rights before the end of the leasing period. Otherwise, these assets are depreciated, but not longer then the leasing period. Profits or losses resulting from sales / liquidation or end of usage of the entries of tangible fixed assets is defined as the difference between the sales income and the balance value of these entries, and they are included in the account of profits and losses. Non-material values Non-material values acquired in separate transactions are listed at their historical cost minus the cancellation and accumulated loss caused by the value loss. The depreciation is calculated using a linear method for the predicted usage period of these assets. The predicted usage period and the depreciation are verified at the end of each yearly reporting period, and the effects of changes in these estimations are related to future periods. Non-material values overtaken during a fusion of business entities are identified and included as separated from the value of the company, if they meet the definition of non-material and legal values and their fair value can be reliably estimated. The cost of such assets corresponds to their fair values as of the overtake date. After the initial inclusion, such values are listed at their historical cost minus the cancellation and accumulated loss caused by the value loss in the same way, as non-material and legal values obtained in separate transactions. Loss of value of tangible fixed assets and non-material values For each balance day, the Group performs a survey of balance values of owned fixed assets and non-material values in order to state, if there are indications of loss of their value. If such indications were confirmed, the recollectable value of such an element of the assets is estimated in order to define a potential extract by this virtue. Assets and reserve by virtue of delayed income tax The delayed tax is calculated using a balance obligations method as a tax subjected to future payment or return, related to differences between balance values of assets and credits and their taxation values used to calculate the tax basis. The reserve for delayd tax is subtracted from all positive transitory differences subjected to taxation, while the element of the assets by virtue of delayed tax is defined to the level of probable decrease of future tax profits by the defined transition differences. The assets entry or obligation by virtue of delayed tax does not form, if the transition difference forms by virtue of the company value or by virtue of the initial inclusion (with the exception of inclusion after business entities fusion) of Page 132 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus other element of the assets or a transaction obligation, which does not influence either the tax result, or the accounting result. The reserve for delayed tax is subtracted from transition tax differences formed as a result of investment in dependent companies, associated companies and participations in joint ventures, unless the Group is able to control the moment of reversal of the transition difference and if it is probable, that the transition difference does not reverse in the predictable future. Assets by virtue of delayed tax resulting from the transition differences in deductions related to such investments and participations is included in the scope corresponding to probable, taxable profits, which could be compensated using transition differences, if it is probable that these differences will not reserve in the predictable future. The balance value of an element of assets by virtue of delayed tax is a subject to survey on each balance day, and if expected future tax profits will be to small to recollect the element of assets or a part of it, then this values has to be properly lowered. Assets and obligations by virtue of delayed tax are calculated using tax rates, which wil be in effect the moment the asset entry is implemented or when the obligation becomes executable, according to the tax regulations (fees) in legal or actual effect on the balance day. The evaluation of assets and obligations by virtue of delayed tax reflects tax consequences of the way, the Group wants to use in order to recollect or to settle the balance value of assets and obligations as of the day of preparation of the financial report. Assets and obligations by virtue of delayed tax are compensated in the case, when the right to compensate current entries of assets and tax obligations exist, if these entries are taxed by the same tax organ, and if the Group wants to settle its current assets and tax obligations as net values. Supplies (reserves) The supplies include: preproducts and products being produced, ready products, goods and prepayments for supplies. Because of the activity specifics, the purchased grounds or rights or perpetual use of the ground are classified as products being produced, if the ground is destined for housing, or as goods for sale, if the ground is destined for sale. Ready products include mainly apartments and facilities sold by final contracts. The supplies of fixed elements of current wealth are evaluated according to their values corresponding to the purchase price of ground real estates and costs of creation of development activity products, increased by activated financial costs. Supplies related to long-term construction contracts are evaluated according to suggestions of MSR Nr 11 "Construction works contracts". The supplies are valued not higher than the potential net value of sale. Active debts by virtue of supplies and services and other active debts Active debts by virtue of supplies and services are included and listed according to the initially invoiced amounts, including an updating extract for non-executable active debts. The updating extract for questionable active debts are included in the account of profits and losses if their non-exectuability is confirmed. If the monetary flow in time is significant, then the value of active debt is defined by discounting forecasted future monetary flows to their current value using gross discount rate, which reflects current market evaluations of monetary value in time. If a discount-based method was used, the increase of active debt in time is included as financial income. Monetary assets and their equivalents Monetary assets and short-term deposits listed in the balance include monetary assets in the bank and in the cashier, together with short-term deposits with initial due dates not longer than three months. The saldo of monetary assets and their equivalents listed in the monetary flow accounts consists of the aforementioned monetary assets and their equivalent, minus unpaid loans in the current accounts. Monetary assets in foreign currencies are evaluated at the average NBP rate for the reporting day. Currency rate diffrences related to monetary assets in foreign currencies and operations on foreign currencies (forex) are included in the account of profits and losses. Financial assets Financial assets are divided into the following categories: Financial assets maintained until their execution date, Financial assets evaluated to the fair value by the financial result, Granted loans and active debts, Financial assets available for sale. Page 133 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Financial assets held to the execution date are investments with defined or definable payments and a defined executability date, which the Group intends to hold and has the ability to hold them until that date. Financial assets held until the execution date are evaluated according to their depreciated cost using the method of effective interest rate. Financial assets held to execution date are classified as long-term assets, if their due date exceeds 12 months from the balance day. Financial assets obtained in order to generate profit as a result of short-term price fluctuations are classified as financial assets, evaluated to their fair value by the financial result. Derivative instruments are also classified as designed for circulation, unless these are instruments designed as effective securing instruments or financial promise contracts. Financial assets evaluated to their fair value by financial result are evaluated to their fair value by taking into account their market value on the balance day without taking into account the costs of sale transaction. Changes of value of these instruments are included in the account of profits and losses as financial incomes or costs. Financial assets evaluated to their fair value are classified as current assets. If a contract contains one or more built-in derivative instruments, then the entire contract may be classified within the category of financial assets evaluated to their fair value by the financial result. Granted loans and active debts are financial assets not classified as derivative instruments, with defined or definable payments, not quoted on the active market. They are classified as current assets, if their execution date does not exceed a current cycle since the balance day. Granted loans and active debts with execution date exceeding a current cycle since the balance day are classified as fixed assets. All other financial assets are financial assets available for sale. Financial assets available for sale are included according to their fair value. If they have no stock quotations on the open market and a reliable estimation if their fair value using alternative methods is not possible, then the financial assets available for sale are included at their purchase price, corrected with extract on the value loss. The positive and negative diffrence between the fair value of the assets available for sale (if there is a market price defined on an active market or the fair value of which can be defined in other reliable way,) and their purchase price, minus delayed tax, is included in the reserve capital from evaluation update. The drop of value of assets available for sale caused by loss of value is included in the account of profits and losses as a financial cost. Purchases and sales of financial assets are defined on the day of transaction. Upon its initial inclusion, the element of financial assets is evaluated to its fair value, increased (in the case of element of assets not classified as evaluated to its fair price by financial results) by the transaction costs, which can be directly assigned to the purchase. The element of financial assets is removed from the balane, if the Group loses control over legal contracts consisting that particular financial instrument; it usually takes place in the case of instrument sales or when all monetary assets flow assigned to the particular instruments are transferred to an independent third party. Reserves Reserves are listed in the case of creation of current obligations within the Group (legal or normative), which are a consequence of past events, the probability of settling them by the Group is high and the amount of these obligations can be reliably evaluated. The included reserve amount reflects the most precise estimation of amount required for settlement of a current obligation as of the balance day, including risk and uncertainity related to this obligation. If the reserve is evaluated using the method of estimated monetary flow required for the settlement of the current obligation, its balance value corresponds to the curent value of these flows. If there is a possibility that a part, or the entire economic profits required to settle the reserve could be recollected from a third party, this active debt is included as an element of assets, if the probability of recollection of this amount is high and if it can be reliably evaluated. Financial obligations Commercial obligations are evaluated to the payment amount. Other financial obligations, the settlement of which is made by release of financial assets other than monetary assets or exchange for financial instruments, according to the contract, are evaluated to their fair value. Financial obligations, which are not financial instruments evaluated to their fair value by the financial result, are evaluated according to the depreciated cost using the method of effective interest rate. Interest-rated bank loans and debt securities All bank loans and debt securities are included (in the initial inclusion) according to the fair value minus costs related to obtaining the loan. Page 134 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus After the initial inclusion, all rated loans and debt securities are then evaluated according to their depreciated cost, using the method of effective interest rate, with the exception of obligations designed for secured positions, which are evaluated according to the accounting rules for securities or obligations classified upon the initial inclusion as financial instruments evaluated to their fair value by the financial result. During the estimation of depreciated cost, one includes costs related to obtaining the loan and discounts or bonuses obtained during the settlement of the obligation. Profits and losses are included in the account of profits and losses at the moment they are removed from the balance, and also in proper periods of the instrument’s life, using the effective interest rate method. Own capital Own capitals and reserve capitals are evaluaed according to their nominal value. Differences between the market value of obtained payment and the nominal value of shares is included in the reserve capital. The costs of shares issue, related to the increase of the capital, lower the reserve capital. The Group also lists minority participations in a separate entry of the own capital. The Group reveals undivided profit from the previous years, the result of the period and results of the transformation from a general partnership to the stock partnership in the entry „Profits held”. Inclusion of sales income The incomes and profits are understood as creation of economic benefits during the reporting period, which have a reliably defined value, as an increase of assets value or as a decrease of obligations value, which will lead to the increase of own capital or to decrease its deficiency in a way different than bringing in assets by shareholders or owners. Sales income is understood as due or received amounts from the sales of material elements and services, minus the effective VAT tax. The sales incomes are defined in the value expressed in real sales prices, including bonifications and bonuses. Income from products, goods and materials sales are included, when the significant risk and benefits from the ownership right to the products, goods and materials have been passed on to the buyer. Income from construction services sales and implementation period shorter than 6 months are defined at the moment the construction service is finished. The Group includes the sales income as values of probable benefits obtained in the sale transactions. All conditional income resulting from the sales transactions are included, when all significant conditions of the sales transaction are met and if there is a high probability of obtaining significant economic benefits by the Group. The Group has assumed a rules, that the moment of passing the significant risk and benefits from the ownership rights to investments, products, goods and materials to the buyer takes places no earlier than at the moment of signing the proper authenticated deed, if the sale transaction requires it. This is the case mainly for real estate sales (grounds and other real estates being a subject of circulation, such as buildings created by the Partnership, including apartments). Income from real estate rents are included using a linear method for the rental period, according to the signed contracts. Income by virtue of interest rates and dividends Income by virtue of dividends are included, when the right of shareholders to obtain the payment is created. Income by virtue of interest rates is included as increasing, according to their creation time, by relation to the amount of the capital which is yet to be paid, including the effective interest rate, namely, the interest rate which effectively discounts future monetary income predicted for the expected period of usage of the given element of assets to the net balance value of that element. Leasing Leasing is classified as financial leasing, when all potential benefits and the risk of being an owner are transferred to the leasing receiver, as specified in the contract. All other leasingu types are treated as current leasing. Foreign currencies The functional currency of the Group is Polish zloty, which is the currency of basic economic environment of the Group’s activity. Page 135 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Transactions performed in a currency other than Polish zloty are included according to the given currency rate of the day of transaction. Monetary obligations and assets denominated in foreign currencies are recalculated according to the currency rate of the balance day, i.e. the average rate set by the NBP. Non-monetary assets and obligations evaluated to their fair value and denominated in foreign currencies are evaluated according to the rate of the day, when the evaluation to the fair value was performed. Non-monetary entries evaluated in foreign currencies according to their historical cost are not renominated again. All currency rate differences are included in the account of profits and losses in the period they take place, with the exception of: Rate differences related to the assets under construction, designed for future production use, which are included in the costs of these assets and treated as corrections of costs of interest rate loans granted in foreign currencies, Currency rate differences resulting from transactions performed as a security measure against a specific currency risk, currency rate differences resulting from entries of monetary active debts or obligations against foreign units, which are not planned to be settled with or if such settlements are not probalbe, forming a part of net investments in a unit located abroad and included in reserve capital for foreign currency recalculations and in net profit/loss from the disposal of the investment. The following rates have been assumed for the needs of balance evaluation: st st st December 31 , 2008 December 31 , 2007 December 31 , 2006 EUR 4,1724 3,5820 3,8312 USD 2,9618 2,4350 2,9105 External financing costs External financing costs directly related to purchase or creation of elements of assets requiring a longer time in order to be released for use or sale, are added to the costs of creating such assets, until the moment, when these assets are in general ready for the planned use or sale. Income from the investment obtained as a result of short-term investment of obtained external assets before investing them in the discussed assets lower the value of external financing costs, which are a subject to capitalisation. All other costs of financial investment are directly included in the account of profits and losses for the period they took place. Current tax Current tax duties are calculated on the basis of tax results (tax basis) of the given tax year. Tax profit (loss) differs from the net accounting profit (loss), because of exclusion of taxable incomes and costs forming the costs of income generation in the next years and costs, which will never by subjected to taxation. The duty of the Group by virtue of current tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates effective in the given tax year. 12.

The details of these transactions were described in the note 25. In the period of 2007-2006, the Group did not made any transactions using derivative financial instruments. The main types of risk resulting from the financial instruments of the Group include the risk of monetary flows interest rates, viability risk, currency risk and loan risk. The Board verifies and agrees rules of management of each of these risk types – these rules have been shortly described below. Page 158 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Interest rate risk Vulnerability of the Group to the risk caused by changes of market interest rates is related mainly to the long-term financial obligations with variable interest rates, i.e. bank loans and obligations by virtue of leasing contracts. However, curremt financial crisis may cause changes of the evaluation of this risk. Until the end of 2008 the Group thought that the interest rate risk had no significant influence on its financial results. In the future, the Group plans to protect itself from unfavourable changes of the interest rates by signing contracts with constant interest rates. Loan risk The Group makes transactions only with renown companies with good creditibility. All customers, who want to use trade loans, are subjected to a verification procedure. Additionally, thanks to constant monitoring of active debt levels, the risk, that the Group will have active debts, which are impossible to be executed, is small. Age structutre ot trade active debts has been presented in note 20. In relation to other financial assets of the Group, such as monetary assets and its equivalent, the loan risk of the Group arises as a result of the inability of the other party to make payments, and maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the balance value of these instruments. Currency risk The Group signs the majority of rental contracts for its areas in Euro, and this creates a currency risk related to unfavourable changes of Euro, related to PLN. In order to protect itself against the risk of Euro rate change as the currency used to settle the income from rent, the Group decided in 2007 to renominate bank loans taken for investment financing, from PLN to Euro. Future investment in real estates with flows dependent on Euro will be largely secured with bank loans financing these investments, denominated in Euro. In 2008, the Group has signed currency future forward contracts, which were meant to serve as protection against the risk of unfavourable changes of Euro rate in the case of renomination of bank loans obtained in 2008, from PLN to Euro. The details of these transactions have been described in note 25. Viability risk The Group monitors the risk of lack of funds, using the tool of periodical viability planning. This tool includes due dates of both investments and financial assets (e.g. active debt account, other financial assets) and predicted monetary flows from current activity. The goal of the Group is holding balance between the continuity and the flexibility of financing, by using various funding sources, such as loans in current acount, financial leasing contracts. 45.

On this basis, the Partnership continues to evaluate the investment real estates under construction according to the historical cost model.

Dividend policy The proper organ for making a resolution on profit division (or on loss cover) and on dividend payment is the Ordinary General Assembly, which, according to art. 395 CCC, should take place within 6 months after the end of each tax year. The Ordinary General Assembly of a stock company sets the dividend level, date of determining the right to dividend and dividend payment date (art. 348 § 3 CCC). The shareholders, who have shares in their accounts on the day, which is declated by the General Assembly as the date of determination of the right to dividend, are entitiled to the dividend for the given tax year. The Status of the Issuing Party provides an option of dividend pre-payment. The pre-payments of dividend are made by the Board of the Partnership. The pre-payment of dividend may take place, if the Partnership has the assets necessary for the pre-payment. The pre-payment has to be approved by the Supervisory Board, and also, if the approved financial report for the previous tax year shows a profit. The pre-payment can constitute no more than half of the profit made from the end of the previous tax year, listed in a financial report studied by an expert auditor, increased by reserve capitals created from the profit, which can be used by the Board to make pre-paymets, and decreased by uncovered losses and own shares. The Board will inform about the pre-payment at least four weeks before the pre-payments are made, specifying the date for which the financial report was made, the amount set for payment and the date of determination of shareholders entitled to pre-payments. This day should be within the period of seven days from the date of first pre-payments. The conditions and methods of dividend transfer are announced by the Partnership in the form of current reports, according to §39 p. 1 sp 7 of the Regulation on current and periodic reports. The conditions and date of dividend transfer, if the Genral Assembly decides to pay it, will be defined according to the rules accepted for public partnerships. Accordign to §91 p. 1 of the Detailed Rules of Functioning of the National Deposit of Securities (KDPW), the Issuing Party is obliged to inform the KDPW about the amount of the dividend, the date of determination of the right to dividend (defined in regulations of Commercial Companies Code as the „dividend day”) and about the date of dividend payment. According to §91 p. 2. of the Detailed Rules of Functioning of the KDPW, at least 9 days must pass between the date of determination of right to dividend and the date of dividend payment. Additionally, according to §26 of the GPW Status, effective on the regulated market, the Issuing Party is obliged to inform the GPW about the intention of dividend payment and to agree with GPW all decisions regarding the dividend payment, which can influence the organisation and method of making stock exchange transactions. The dividend payment will be made using a deposit system of KDPW. Dividend payment, to which the shareholders owning dematerialised shares of the company are entitled, according to §97 of the Detailed Rules of Functioning of th KDPW, is executed in such a way, that the Issuing Party leaves assets at the disposal of KDPW, which are to be used to settle the rights to dividend on a monetary account or a bank account indicated by the KDPW, followed by the division of assets obtained from the Issuing Party by the KDPW on the account of participators of KDPW, which in turn transfer the assets to the accounts of particular shareholders. One of the priority goals of the Rank Progress Spółka Akcyjna Partnership is to guarantee its Shareholders a possibility of building their wealth in the aspect of increases of share prices by implementing an investment program, together with a clear, long-term and stable dividend policy. The surplus of free assets, depending on the interests of the Partnership and on proper monetary assets of the Partnership made by the supervising and managing bodies of the Partnership, will be available for payment in cash. The dividend will be paid to the shareholders once a year, after the end of the tax year, on the basis of a resolution made by the Ordinary General Assembly on designing the profit to be paid to the shareholders. The Board intends to recommend the General Assembly a dividend payment on the level of 10% to 20% of yearly consolidated net profit. th Additionally, the dividend payment, according to regulations of the loan contract on investment loand signed on June 5 , th 2008, with Bank Zachodni WBK S.A., requires a permission from this bank. On July 9 , 2008 Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. issued a statement on permission for dividend payment equal to 25% of consolidated net profit of Rank Progress S.A. and its dependent entities, under the condition, that: Page 191 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus The dividend payment will not exceed 50% of unitary net profit of Rank Progress S.A. revealed for the tax year preceeding the tax year, when the dividend payment takes place, The factor defined as the amount of profit held for the tax year preceeding the tax year when the dividend payment takes place, related to the sum of capital installments assigned to the tax year, when the dividend payment takes place, will not be lower than 1,2, No violations of conditions of bank loans signed by Rank Progress S.A. and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A will take place. The dividend payment factor must reflect properly the interest of the Shareholders and the Partnership itself. After the end of each tax year, the Board will present the application for dividend payment at the General Assembly, taking into account market conditions and the environment of the Partnership. The information justifying the factor of dividend payment, will be available to the Shareholders. The Partnership will execute the payment according to art. 348 § 3 KSH, which states, że that the dividend day can be set at the date the resolution is made or within three months from that date. The definition of deadlines related to the dividend payment and the very operation of dividend payment is performed according to the regulations of KDPW.

The Issuing Party did not pay the dividend for 2006 and in the period of 1.01.2007 - 9.10.2007, because its activity was based on the form of a commercial code company, namely a general partnership.

Description of rights, priviledges and limitations related to shares of the Issuing Party Rights and priviledges related to shares of the Issuing Party are defined in the Status of the Issuing Party, in the CCC regulations and in other regulations. In order to obtain more detailed information, one has to use an advice of an approved solicitor. According to § 3.2.2 of the Status, Series A Shares are registered shares priviledged in regard to votes during the General Assembly, namely, two votes are allocated per each of these shares. Series B shares to bearer entitle to one vote during the General Assembly of the Issuing Party. Rights with asset-related character, related to shares of the Issuing Party 1. Right to dividend – participation in profit of the Partnership revealed in the financial report of the Partnership, studied by an expert auditor, assigned by the General Assembly for payment to the shareholders (art. 347 CCC). The profit is divided according to the number of shares. The Status does not predict any priviledges in regard to this right, which means, that an equal dividend is assigned to all shares. The right to dividend for the given tax years is held by these shareholders, who were entitled to shares on the date of resolution on profit division. An Ordinary General Assembly of the public partnership defines the dividend day and the payment date. The dividend day can be defined on the date of resolution, or within three months from that date (art. 348 CCC). The General Assembly should take into account regulations of the National Deposit of Securities and of the Stock Exchange, when defining the dividend day. The Issuing Party is obliged to inform the National Deposit of Securities about the level of dividend assigned per share, about the date of the dividend day and about the payment date, by sending a resolution of the proper organ of the Partnership on this matters immediately, but not later than 10 days before the dividend day. The payment date can be defined at least on the tenth day after the dividend day. The National Deposit of Securities passes the aforementioned information to all direct participators. The direct participators defined the number of shares granting the right to dividend, allocated to their securities accounts, and send to the National Deposit of Securities an information on: Level of monetary assets, which should be transferred to the participators, related to the dividend payment, Total amount of payable income tax from legal entities, which should be taken by the Issuing Party from dividends paid through an agent, Number of securities accounts managed for people being tax-payers of tax from legal entities. On the payment date, the Issuing Party is obliged to leave assets assigned for execution of the right to dividend at the disposal of the National Deposit of Securities. As a result of resolution on assignment of profit for division, the shareholders obtain a claim for dividend payment. The claim becomes due as of the date indicated in the resolution of the General Assembly and it is a subject of limitation using general rules. Legal regulations do not define te date, when the rights to dividend cease to exist. In the case of tax-payers, who do not hold an office or the Board on the territory of the Republic of Poland, which are subjects of the duty of income tax from dividends, have those tax rates applied, which result from contracts on prevention of double tax, signed by the Republic of Poland or no tax from them is collected according to the said contracts, only after a presentation of so called residency certificate, issued by the proper tax administration to an entity entitled to deduction of flat rate income tax. The residence certificate has to prove if the given entitiy is included in the scope of agreement on avoiding double tax, i.e. it is entitled to use lower, preferential tax rates or to be exempted from tax. In the case, when doubts exist, the taxpayer will deduct the tax in amount predicted by the act. If a non-resident proves, that the decisions of the international agreement predicting a reduction of the national tax rate (including a total exemption) apply to him/her, he/she will be entitled to claim an overpayment statement and to return of tax, which was not due, directly from the tax office. The amount assigned for division between shareholders cannot exceed the profit for the last tax year, increased by undivided profits from the previous years and by amounts transferred from reserve capitals created from the profits, which can be assigned to the dividend payment. Uncovered losses, own shares and costs, which according to the Status or to the act should be spent from the profit for the last tax year on reserve capitals (art. 348 § 1 CCC), should be deducted from this amount. The law, which is effective in Poland, does not introduce other regulations regarding the dividend rate or the methods of its calculations, frequency and cumulative or a non-cumulative nature of payments. No right other than the right of participation in the profits of Page 199 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. the Issuing Party is related to the shares of Issuing Party, in particular, the Status of the Issuing Party does not predict an award of participation in the profits of the Partnership by issuing nominal foundation certificates, in order to pay for services made during the formation of the Partnership, or by issuing use certificates in exchange for redeemed shares. Right of subscription – Priviledged rights of subscription for new shares related to the number of owned shares. According to the conditions specified in art. 433 CCC, the shareholders can be stripped of the right of subscription, partially or totally, in the interest of the Partnership, through the powers of a resolution of the General Assembly. This resolution is made by a majority of at least four fifths of votes. The rule, that 4/5 of the votes is necessary, is not applied, if the resolution on increase of company capital states, that the new shares are about to be obtained in their entirety by a financial institution (a subissuing party), with the obligation of offering them later to the shareholders in order to let them execute the right of subscription on the conditions specified in the resolution, or if the resolution states that the new shares are to be obtained by the subissuing party, if the shareholders holding the right of subscription, do not obtain a part of all of shares offered them. The stripping of the shareholders of the right of subscription can take place in a case, when it has been announced in the order of meeting of the General Assembly. Right of participation in the assets of the Partnership after satisfaction or security of the creditors is obtained in the case of its liquidation. According to art. 474 § 2 CCC, the assets remaining after the satisfaction or security of the creditors is obtained, is divided by the shareholders, proportionally to payments for the company capital, made by each of them. The Status of the Issuing Party does not predict any priviledges in this field. Right of disposal of owned shares. The status of the Issuing Party does not provide any limitations in this field. Right of duty on the owned shares using a pledge or a usage. In the period, when shares of the public partnership, which have a pledge or a usage created, are registered on securities accounts in a brokerage house or in a bank managing securities accounts, the shareholder is entitled to the right of vote from these shares (art. 340 § 3 CCC). Shares of the Partnership can be redeemed. The shares can be redeemed by lowering of the company capital, by shares purchase (with permission of the shareholder) by the Partnership. Right of changing registered shares to shares to bearer. The change of registered shares to shares to bearer can be done by request of the shareholder (art.334 CCC related to § 3.2.5 of the Status of the Partnership).

Descriptions of actions necessary to change rights of shares owners, with indications of the rules which are more significant than it is required by the law In the field of actions necessary to change rights of shares owners, the Status does not provide rules, which are more significant than it is required by the law. Shares of the Partnership can be redeemed by their purchase performed by the Partnership. According to the Status of the Issuing Party, Series A Shares are registered shares, while other shares are shares to bearer. In the field of actions necessary to change rights of shares owners, the Status of the Issuing Party does not provide rules, which are more significant than it is required by the law. Regulations of the Commercial Companies Code provide a possibility of issuing shares with special priviledges by the partnership, and also of individually assigning personal priviledges to a designated shareholder, which cease to exist no earlier than as of the date, when the entitled person ceases to be a shareholder of the Partnership. Priviledged shares, with the exception of non-voting shares, should be registered, and the aforementioned priviledges can be related to, e.g. voting rights, rights to dividend or to division of assets in the case of partnership liquidation. Priviledges related to the voting rights cannot be applied to a public partnership, and additionally, one share cannot have more than 2 votes assigned, and this priviledge is revoked if such share is changed to a share to bearer or if it is sold against agreed conditions. Shares priviledged to the dividend can grant the entitled person a dividend, which exceeds the dividend assigned for payment to non-priviledged shareholders by no more than 50% (it does not apply to non-voting shares and pre-payments for dividend) and they do not use priority of satisfaction before other shares (does not apply to non-voting shares). Shares priviledgeg to the dividend can have the voting right excluded (non-voting rights), additionally, the priviledged shareholder, who was not partially or wholly paid the dividend in the given tax year, can be granted the right of profit compensation in the next years, but not later then within three next tax years. Granting of particular priviledges can be made dependent on submitting additional statements for the partnership, deadline or fulfillment of condition. The shareholder can execute special rights granted him/her, related to the priviledged share, after the end of the tax year, Page 201 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus during which he/she has brought his/her contribution to the company capital. As indicated above, personal rights can be granted only to an individually designated shareholder and they can be related to e.g., right of election or dismissing of the Board members or of the Supervisory Board members or right of obtaining designated statements from the partnership. Granting of personal priviledges can be made dependent on submitting additional statements for the partnership, deadline or fulfillment of condition. Limitations regarding the scope and execution of rights resulting from the priviledged shares should be applied to the rights granted to the shareholder. The described changes of rights of shareholders, i.e. issuing shares with special rights and granting personal rights to an individually designated shareholder, must be included in the Status of the Partnership, thus an appropriate change in the Status is necessary. According to art. 430 § 1 of the Commercial Companies Code, change of the Status requires a resolution of the general assembly and an entry in the register to be made. The resolution which changes the Status should include an indication of priviledged shares or a respective designation of the entity, which is granted with personal rights, type of share priviledges and potential conditions, which have to be met in order of share priviledges or personal rights to be granted. The resolution related to the change of Status is made with a majority of three fourths of votes, with the resolution related to the change of Status, which increases the statements of the shareholders or which diminshed the rights granted personally to particular shareholders, according to art. 354 of the Commercial Companies Code, requires permission of all shareholders it is related to (art. 415 of the Commercial Companies Code). The Status of the Issuing Party does not create more severe condtions of making resolutions related to changes of Status. If the change of the Status is not related to an increase of the company capital after the resolution is made by the general assembly, the board has the time of 3 months to register the change of Status to the Register Court (art. 430 § 2 of the Commercial Companies Code). 21.2.5.

By issuing new Series C shares, the Partnership intends to obtain assets necessary for the implementation of planned investments and for the develpoment of the Partnership within the scope of its business activity. Because of the limited options of funding by the current shareholders, the decision on exclusion of the right of subscription for Series C Shares for Page 237 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus these investors is justified and it serves the interests of the Partnership. The exclusion of right of subscription will enable to obtain new investors and an accumulation of capital in the Partnership as well as strengthening its position against the competition. Acquisition of new investors by the Partnership will allow to increase its reliability and to increase the dynamics of the development. The exclusion of right of subscription to Series C Shares does not exclude these shares to be obtained by current shareholders, thus one has to assume that the exclusion of the right of subscription does not work against the interests of current shareholders as it serves the interest of the Partnership. Becaus of the above, the Board of the Partnership recommends their shareholders voting for the total exclusion of right of subscription to Series C Shares, to which the current shareholders of the Partnership are entitled. The issue price of Series C shares will be determined on the basis of analysis of demand for new shares, performed by the Board of the Partnership and by a financial advisor. Once the offer of the partneship is presented to the potential investors, they will be able to submit declarations of interest in purchasing Series C shares, and on the basis of a large number of declarations, the Board of the Partnership will obtain information about the market evaluation of Series C shares, and on this basis it will define the market price. th o Additionally, on November 9 , 2009, the Ordinary General Assembly of the Issuing Party made the Resolution N 16/11/2009 regarding the approval of application for approval and introduction of Series B and C shares and rights to Series C Shares to circulation on the regulated market and on the dematerialisation of Series B and C shares and of rights to Series C shares, with the following content: o „Resolution N 16/11/2009 of the Ordinary General Assembly of Rank Progress S.A. date 9.11.2009 on the expression of approval for application for approval and introduction to circulation in the conditions of public securities market on the Stock Exchange in Warsaw S.A. of Series B and C shares and on dematerialisation of Series B and C shares. th Acting on the basis of art. 12 af the Act dated July 29 , 2005 on public offer and on conditions of introduction of financial o instruments to an organised circulation system and on public partnerships (Dz.U.

The duty of notification also arises in a case, when the voting rights are related to the securities, which form the subject of the protection. However, this is not the case, when the entity, for which the protection has been created, has the right to execute the voting right and declares the intention of execution of this right – in this case, the voting rights are treated as owned by the entity, for which the protection was created (art. 69a p. 3 of the Act on Public Offer).

Purchase of shares as a result of the mandatory purchase is executed without the acceptance of the shareholders, to which the purchase demand is related. The announcement or the request of shares sale within a mandatory purchase takes place after a protection is created with value of at least 100% of the value of shares, which are to be subjected to the mandatory purchase, and the creation of the protection should be documented with a bank note or a note from another financial institution acting as an intermediate in granting this protection or granting this Page 248 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus protection. The mandatory purchase is announced and executed using an entity running a brokerage activity on the territory of the Republic of Poland as an agent, which is obliged, not later than 14 working days before the starting date of the mandatory purchase, to notifty simultaneously – the Financial Supervision Committee and the partnership managing the regulated market, on which the given shares are quoted about the intention of the mandatory purchase, and if the shares of the partnership are quoted on several regulated markets – all these partnerships are to be notified. The notification has to have information about the mandatory purchase appended. Resignation from the mandatory purchase is unacceptable. On the basis of art. 83 of the Act on Public Offer, a shareholder of a public partnership can demand the shares owned by him/her to be purchased by another shareholder, who reached or exceeded 90% of the total number of votes in this partnership. This demand is submitted in a written form, within three months from the date, when reaching or exceeding of the aforementioned threshold took places (and if the information about the threshold being exceeded was not revealed to the general public, deadline for submission of the demands starts on the day, when the shareholder of the public partnership, who can demand shares owned by him/her to be purchased, got to know, or when he could have got to know with proper care taken about the fact, about reaching or exceeding of this threshold by another shareholder). The demand of shares purchase has to be satisifed, within 30 days from its submission, in solidarity, by a shareholder who reached or exceeded 90% of the total number of votes in this partnership and his dependent and dominating entities, and also, in solidarity, each of the parties of the agreement on purchasing shares of the public partnership or on joint voting at the general assembly of shareholders on the significant issues of the partnership, if the parties of this agreement own together, with their dominating and dependent entities, at least 90% of the total number of votes. 4.10. Indication of public overtake offers in relation to the capital of the Issuing party made by third parties within the last tax year and the current tax year During the last tax year and the current tax year, third parties did not make any public overtake offers related to the capital of the Issuing Party. 4.11. Taxation of income from dividend and shares sales 4.11.1. Income tax from the income by virtue of dividend Income from shares ownership obtained by domestic persons, subjected in Poland to an unlimited tax duty According to art. 3 p. 1 and 1a of the Act on ITOP, people are subjected to the tax duty for all their income, regardless of the location of the sources of income (unlimited tax duty), if their place or residence is on the territory of the Republic of Poland, i.e. they have a personal interest or economic interest centre (vital interest centre) or if they reside on the territory of the Republic of Poland more than 183 days during the tax year. According to art. 30a of the Act on ITOP, dividends and other income actually gained from the ownership of Shares by these people are subjected to taxation using a flat rate of 19%. This tax is collected without lowering the income by the cost of its generation. These income is not added to other income obtained during the tax year, taxed using general rules, i.e. according to the progressive tax rate scale provided in art. 27 of the Act on ITOP. According to art. 41 p. 4 of the Act on ITOP, the income tax from income taxed on the basis of art. 30a of the ACT on ITOP is collected by the payer, i.e. an entity, which pays or which leaves at the disposal of the tax-payer, dividends and other income actually obtained from the Shares, which are equal to income taxed using a flat rate. The payer is obliged to send a yearly declaration to the proper tax office, by the end of January of the year following the tax year. However, the payer is not obliged to reveal registered information about the level of income to the domestic tax-payers. The tax-payers are not obliged to list the flat rate tax collected by the payer in their yearly tax return. Income from shares ownership obtained by domestic legal entities According to art. 3 p. 1 of the Act on ITOP legal entities in Poland are subjected to an unlimited tax duty on all their income regardless of the location of their sources of income, if they have an office or the board located on the territory of the Republic of Poland. Dividends and other income actually obtained from the Shares by legal entities and capital partnerships in organisation with their office or board located on the territory of the Republic of Poland, and also organisational units without a legal entity (with the exception of partnerships without a legal entity), are subjected to taxation according to the rules presented in art. 22 of the Act on ITOP. The tax rate is equal to 19%. In the case of dividends, the entire amount of dividend obtained is the basis for taxation, with no options to lower it by costs of income generation. According to art. 26 p. 1 of the Act on ITOP, the tax from dividends and other income actually generated from the Shares is collected by the payer, i.e. by an entity executing payments by this virtue. The payer is obliged to send a yearly declaration within the first month of the year after the tax year. Additionally, the payer is obliged to send to the tax-payers information about the level of collected tax, within seven days after the month, for which the tax was collected. Page 249 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Income from dividends and other income by virtue of participation in profits of legal entites can also be exempted from income tax using the rules defined below, in the case of sharesholders which are legal entities, owning large packages of the Shares. Income from Shares ownership obtained by foreign entities (people and legal entities) not subjected in Poland to the unlimited tax duty Dividends and other income actually generated from the Shares by entities which do not have their office or a board located on the territory of the Republic of Poland and be people with place of residence outside Poland, will be taxed according to the same rules as the income of domestic entities. It has to be noted, that foreign companies without a legal entity are taxed using rules provided for legal entities, if according to the tax law of their country of origin (of the office or the board) they are treated as legal entities and are subjected in this country to tax from their entire income, regardless of the place of income generation (art. 1 p. 3 of the Act on ITOP). However, except for internal Polish regulations, the incomes of aforementioned foreign entities may be subjected to the regulations of proper agreements on avoiding double taxation, where the Republic of Poland is a party. It has to be noted, that application of a tax rate resulting from the proper agreement on avoiding double taxation or exemption from taxation is possible according to these agreements, under the condition that the place of residence, location of the office or of the board of the tax-payer is documented for the needs of taxation, by obtainig a residence certificate from the entity, issued by a proper foreign organ (art. 30a p. 2 of the Act on ITOP and art. 26 p. 1 of the Act on ITOP). The proper residence certificate has to be presented to the payer of the income tax. The payers are obliged to send the foreign people a registered information about the level of income by the end of February of the year following the tax year. In the case of foreign legal entities, the information about payments made and tax collected is sent before the end of the third month of the year following the tax year, in which the payments were made. Foreign entities also can individually demand sending them a proper tax information within 14 days from the date of such application. Exemption of income from owned Shares obtained by domestic and foreign legal entities from the income tax According to art. 22 p. 4 of the Act on ITOP, dividends and other actual income generated from the Shares by a partnership which is a subject to the tax from all its income (regardless of the place of its generation) in the Republic of Poland or in any European Union Member State other than the Republic of Poland, or in other state of the European Economic Area is exempted from tax, if all the conditions presented below are met: The income-obtaining partnership directly owns at least 10% of all Shares in the capital of the partnership which pays the dividend or other income by virtue of participation in profits of legal entities, The income-obtaining partnership owns the number of Shares defined in tiret (1) above for a permanent period of two years. It has to be noted, that the exemption is also applied, when the required period of two years is over after the date the income is obtained. However, if the condition presented above is not met, the partnership using the th exemption will be obliged to pay the tax before the 20 day of the month following the month, in which it has lost the right to exemption, with the delay interest, and The location of office of the income-obtaining partnership will be documented for the needs of taxation with a residency certificate issued by a proper organ of the foreign tax administration (art. 26 p. 1c sp. 1 of the Act on ITOP). Under the assumption that all conditions presented above are met, the exemption from tax is also applied in a situation, when the dividend is received by a foreign company (as understood by art. 4a p.11 of the Act on ITOP) of a partnership being a subject to taxation from the entirety of its income (regardless of the place of their generation) in the Republic of Poland or in an EEA member state other than the Republic of Poland. However, the existence of the foreign company should be documented by the company using the exemption with a certificate issued by a proper tax administration organ of its country of origin, or by a proper tax organ of the country, Where the company is located (art. 26 p. 1c sp 2 of the Act on ITOP). Additionally, it has to be pointed out, that the aforementioned exemption can also be applied to the entirety of income paid to the receiving party (company), subjected in the Switzerland to the income tax from the entirety of its income, regardless of the place of its generation, with a specified, direct percentage in the capital of the dividend-paying company has been set at the level not lower than 25%. Also in this case it is necessary to document the tax residency with a proper certificate issued by a proper organ of the foreign tax administration (art. 26 p. 4c sp 2 and p. 6 of the Act on ITOP). 4.11.2. Income tax from income obtained from sales of shares Income from Shares circulation obtained by domestic people Art. 30b of the Act on ITOP predicts an option of application of the flat tax rate of 19% to the income from a paid dispoal of securities. The regulations of art. 30b of the Act on ITOP does not apply, however, if the diposal of Shares by a person is a part of the personal business activity. Page 250 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus In relation to people, income from the paid disposal of Shares is defined as the difference betweeen the amount of income from this operation (i.e. a sum of value of Shares obtained by the disposal, minus the costs of paid disposal) and the costs of income generation, understood as expenses on Shares purchase, obtained in the tax year (it has to be noted, that the income from the paid disposal of shares is understood as input income, even if it has not been actually obtained, and it influences the moment of income generation). It has to be noted, however, that if the value expresseed in the price specified in the contract of paid disposal will significantly deviate from the market value of Shares, without a justified reason, it may be questioned by the tax organ. According to art. 30b p. 7 of the Act on ITOP, if it is impossible to identify the disposed securities, then it has to be assumed that these are respective securities, starting from those obtained as the earliest, with this rule applied separately for each securities account, on which the Shares are located. After the end of the tax year, the tax-payers are obliged to list income obtained in the given year by virtue of paid disposal th of Shares in a separate tax return and to calculate the input income tax. This return tax has to be submitted until April 30 of the next year after the tax year (this is also the deadline for payment of the calculated tax). It is a rule, that the information given to the tax-payers by the payer through the powers of art.39 p.3 of the Act on ITOP should form the base of preparation of a yearly report. The payer is not obliged to collect tax and to transfer pre-payments of tax by virtue of paid Shares disposal during the tax year.. It also has to be noted, that according to art. 9 p. 6 of the Act on ITOP, income obtained by virtue of paid disposal of securities can be lowered by the value of loss from this source (this source includes in particular, income from paid disposal of Shares and other securities) in the five tax years following one another, with the resitriction that the lowering income cannot exceed 50% of this loss in any of these years. Income from Shares circulation obtained by domestic legal entities Income from paid Shares disposal obtained by legal entities and capital partnership in organisation, having their office or board on the territory of the Republic of Poland, and by other organisational unit without a legal entity (with the exception of civil law, general, partner, limited and limited-stock partnerships) are subjected to general taxation rules resulting from the Act on ITOP, i.e. they are taxed according to the basic tax rate of 19%, including other income obtained during the tax year, on the basisi of art. 19 p. 1 of the Act on ITOP. In relation to legal entities, the income from paid disposal or Shares is defined as the value of Shares resulting from the disposal price. It has to be noted, however, that if the value expressed in the price defined in the paid disposal contract will significantly deviate from the market value of Shares, without a justified reason, it may be questioned by the tax organ. In regard to the paid disposal of Shares, expenses on their purchase are the cost of income generation, lowering the tax basis. Income from Shares circulation obtained by foreign legal entities Foreign owners of Shares (i.e. such entities, which do not have an office or the board on the territory of the Republic of Poland and people with places of residence outside Poland) are subjected to taxation in Poland by virute of paid Shares disposal only related to the income generated on the territory of the Republic of Poland. Income from Shares sales on GPW is treated as obtained on the territory of the Republic of Poland. Income of foreign people is taxes according to the same rules as that of domestic ones. It has to be noted, howeverm that forign parnterships without a legal entity are taxed according to the regulations for legal entities, if according to the tax law of their country of location of the office or board, they are treated as legal entities and are subjected in this country to the tax from the entirety of its income, regardless of the place of their generation (art. 1 p. 3 of the Act of ITOP). However, in addition to Polish internal regulations, the rules of taxation of foreign people result from proper agreements on avoiding double taxation, where the Republic of Poland is a party, and from proper foreign regulations. Usually, the agreements on avoiding double taxation state, that profits from the sales of securities can be taxed only in that country, where the place of residence, the office or the board of the seller is located. It is not related to the cases, when a foreign person has the company in Poland, as understood by the proper agreement on avoiding double taxation, and the income from paid disposal of Shares could be assigned to this company. Then, these income will be taxed in Poland, just as the income of domestic people. It also has to be noted, that the application of tax rate resulting from the proper agreement on avoiding double taxation or not paying the tax according to such agreement has been made clearly dependent on documenting the tax residence of the tax-payer, by presenting the payer a proper residence certificate issued by a proper organ of a foreign tax administration (art. 30b p. 3 of the Act on ITOP). 4.11.3. Tax from civil-legal actions According to art. 9 p. 9 of the act on tax from civil-legal actions, sales of material rights which are financial instruments as understood according to the regulation of Act on circulation of financial instruments to, or through financial companies, as well as sales of these rights made within the scope of the said circulation, is exempted from the tax from civil-legal actions. Page 251 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus If the aforementioned situation does not take place, the shares sale shall be subjected to taxation with a legal-civil actions tax of 1%. The tax from legal-civil actions is to be paid within 14 days from the date of tax obligation and to provide a declaration on tax from legal-civil actions. According to art. 4 of the Act on tax from legal-civil actions, in the case of sale, the buyer is subjected to the tax obligation. 4.11.4. Tax from legacies and donations Only people are subject to the tax from legacies and donations in Poland. As a rule, obtaining Shares as a result of a legacy or a donation is a subject to this tax, with the tax rate dependent on the degree of relationship, or on any other relation between the benefactor/bequeather and the beneficient/heir. Tax rates are progressive and they are equal to 3-20% of the tax basis, depending on the tax group the obtaining person has been classified to. Each of the groups also has a tax-free amount. This tax is paid within 14 days from the decision of the head of the tax office, defining the level of tax obligation. Acquisition of Shares ownership by the closest relatives (spouses, descendants, ascendants, stepchildren, brothers and sisters, stepfather and stepmother) is exempted from tax, under the condition of making a proper submission to the proper head of the tax office. This exemption is applied, if at the moment of acquisition, the obtaining party was a Polish citizen or a citizen of one of the Member States or one of the Member states of the European Free Trade Agreement (EFTA) – a party of the agreement on EEA, or had the place of residence on the territory of Poland or of such a member state. 4.11.5. Responsibility of the payer According to art. 30 of the Tax Ordination, the payer which did not fulfill its obligations of calculating, collecting and payment of the tax to the proper tax office, holds the responsibility for the uncollected tax, or for the collected yet unpaid tax with all its assets. However, this regulation does not applt, if separate regulations state otherwise, or if the tax was not collected because of the tax-payer. In this case, the tax office gives out a decision on the responsibility of the tax-payer. 5. Information about the offer conditions 5.1. 5.1.1.

Book building Before the start of the Public Offer, marketing actions will take place, which are known as the „book-building” process, namely, building the demand book. The „book-building” process is related to both tranches, in which the Shares are offered. As a result of this actions, a „demand book” for Offered Shares will be created. The results of demand „book building” in both tranches will be used during the determination of Issue price of the Offered Shares. In case of significant differences in the results of the „book-building” process in both tranches, the Board of the Issuing Party will try to set the price at the level guaranteeing obtaining all shares offered in both tranches. The issue price will be identical in both tranches. People who take place in the „book-building” process, will be able to use preferences in allocation of the Offered Shares, mentione in this Prospctus (Part IV, p. 5.1.4.). The “book-building” process is collecting Purchase Declarations from Investors interested in purchasing, on the basis of this Prospectus, a specific number of Offered Shares at the indicated price. Purchase Declarations with price listed as approximated to 0,01 PLN, will be accepted. Purchase Declaration is not binding for an Investor, excluding statements of p. 5.1.4, related to preferences within the Open Tranche and within Institutional Investors Tranche. Purchase declarations which do not contain: number of shares expressed as multiples of 10 shares, number of shares being at least 100, price within listed price range, price approximated to 0,01 PLN, other data listed in the Purchase Declaration form, will be treated as invalid. The price range, in which Purchase Declaration during the „book-building” phase will be accepted is from 10,77 to 12,00 PLN per share. The maximum Issue price of Offered Shares is 12,00 PLN and it cannot be lower than the nominal price of a share. The Purchase Declarations will be collected through the Offering Party or through the members of distribution consortium, if such a consortium is created. If a distribution consortium is created after the Issue Prospectus has been approved, a proper information will be revealed to the general public by making available an annex to the Prospectus, approved by the KNF. This Annex will be released to the general public in the same way the Prospectus was published. During the „book-building” process, a potential Investor can submit one Purchase Declaration, defining the number of Offered Shares and a price, at which he/she would be ready to purchase the specified number of Offered Shares. A proper form will be made available by the Offering Party or by the members of the distribution consortium (if it is created) – a template of Purchase Declaration form was presented in the chapter „Forms and appendices” of this Prospectus. A submitted declaration can be withdrawn before the subscriptions start, by submitting a written statement in a CSP accepting the Purchase Declarations. After withdrawing a submitte Purchase Declaration it is possible to submit a second Purchase Declaration during the „book-building” process. Submission of a new Purchase Declaration without having the previous Declaration withdrawn causes all Declarations to become invalid. An entity managing a securities package of a third party for orders, can submit a combined Purchase Declaration, including all managed accounts. Investment Funds Groups submit their Purchase Declarations separately, on the behalf of particular funds managed by the Investment Funds Group. 5.1.4. Rules of subscription submissions Minimum and maximum size of a subscription In both tranches, subscriptions will be accepted for number of Offered Shares not less than 50 shares, with the restriction, that the minimum value of a subscription made in the Institutional Investors Tranche, by entities listed in the point 5.1.4.3 character i) below, is not less than a 100 000 PLN. Making a subscription for the number of Offered Shares less than 50 shares or making a subscription to the Institutional Investors Tranche by entities listed below, with a value less than 100 000 PLN will result in no allocation of shares to the Investor. Page 253 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus No other limitations related to the maximum size of subscriptions exist. However, making a subscription for a number of shares greater than the number of Offered Shares in a given Tranche will be taken as a subscription for the maximum number of Offered Shares in the given Tranche. General rules of subscriptions Subscriptions for Offered Shares will be accepted in the periods indicated in p. 5.1.2 above, at the customer service points of the Offering Party and, additionally, of other members of the distribution consortium, if such a consortium will be created, in addition to the participation of the Offering Party. If a distribution consortium is created after the Issue Prospectus has been approved, a proper information will be revealed to the general public by making available an annex to the Prospectus, approved by the KNF. This Annex will be released to the general public in the same way the Prospectus was published. Repeated submission of a subscription will be treated as making a subscription for a number of Offered Shares resulting from the particular subscriptions. Subcriptions for Offered Shares made by an entity managing a securities portfolio of a third party will be treated as a subscriptions of the parties, for which the portfolios are managed. If the Investor plans to write Offered Shares allocated to him to a specific securities account, the Investor must submit a deposition disposal for Offered Shares. All consequences resulting from an improper or incomplete filling of the subscription for Offered shares or of the deposition disposal for Offered Shares (including the lack of shares allocation) will be faced by the Investor. It is possible to make subscriptions for Offered Shares using Internet, phone, fax and other technical means, if such a possibility is accepted by the Status of the brokerage house accepting the subscriptions. In that case, the Investor should have a proper contract signed with the brokerage house, where he/she will submit the subscription for Offered Shares. Such a contract should contain, in particular, an authorisation of the brokerage house or its employees, for submission of the subscription for shares in the name of the Investor. Subscriptions will be accepted on 4 instances of the form. One instance of subscription for is for the Investor, one for the Issuing Party and the remaining two – for the point which accepts the submission. The template of the subscription form has been presented in the chapter „Forms and appendices” of this Prospectus. Subscriptions will be accepted in two Tranches: Institutional Investors Tranche and the Open Tranche. Subscriptions in the Institutional Investors Tranche Shares can be purchased in the Institutional Investors Tranche by: a. Brokerage house, b. bank, c. insurance company, d. investment fund, e. pension fund, f. entity, managing a package of securities of a third party (asset management), g. entity (a person, legal entity or organisational unit without a legal enity), in the name of which the subscription is made by the entity managing a package of securities of a third party (asset management customer), h. investment subissuing party – if a investment subissue contract is signed, i. other entity, purchasing shares for the amount not less than 100 000 PLN, j. entity, which submitted a Purchase Declaration of Offered Shares for the amount not less than 500 000 PLN. In the case of Investors, which made a submission on the basis of nominal invitation for submission for a specified number of offered shares, preferences are planned. Invitations sent to entities managing securities portfolios of third parties will be treated as invitations sent to those third parties, whose portofolios are managed. The invitations will be sent by fax, e-mail, or any other methods agreed with the particular Investor. The invitation receipt will be confirmed in person, by fax, phone or using other technical means, including e-mail. Invitations to submissions of subscriptions can be directed from the start of subscription of shares until the end of subscription period. In order to use the aforementioned preferences, the invited Investor should reply to the invitation by 14.00 the next day after the receipt of the invitation, as well as before the end of the subscription period. Page 254 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus The basis for obtaining an invitation and for definition of number of Offered Shares listed in the invitation will be the participation in the „book-building” process and submission of Purchase Declaration of Offered Shares at a price, which will be higher then, or equal to the final price of Offered Shares. The Board holds the right to send invitations also to other Investors, also those not participation in the „book-building”, to send invitations related to the number of Offered Shares other (i.e. higher or lower) than the one declared during „book-building”, as well as not to send invitations, despite the participation in „book-building”. Sending an invitation for a higher number of Offered Shares than the number declared during „book-building” does not mean for the Investor that it is obligatory to subscribe for a number of Shares higher than the number indicated during „book-building”, as it only grants him/her the right to submit such an increased subscription. Preferences related to the submission of a subscription on the basis of registered invitation mean, that in a case of making a subscription for the number of shares listed in the registered invitation, but equal to, or greater than the number listed during the „book-building” process, the subscription is not reduced. In case of submitting a subscription for a number of shares greater than the number indicated in the registered invitation, the part of the subscription related to the number of Offered Shares, exceeding the number specified in the registred invitation, will be proportionally reduced, if Offered Shares remain in Institutional Investors Tranche, which are unsubscribed on the basis on invitation. The remaining part of the subscription will not be reduced. Sending invitations by the Issuing Party does not limit the rights of an Investor, including that Investor, which was sent an invitation, and the Investor, which did not participate in the „book-building”, relatede to making subscriptions for Offered Shares in the Open Tranche or in the Institutional Investors Tranche. Subscription in the Open Tranche All Investors are entitled to purchasing Offered Shares in the Open Tranche. Preferences in allocation of the Offered Shares will be granted to those Investors, who have made Purchase Declarations for Offered Shares in the „book-building” process, followed by making a subscription for the number of Offered Shares at least equal to the declared number, with the final price of the Offered Shares lower than, or equal to the declared price. These preference mean, that in a case of oversubscription of shares, the following procedure will be applied for the needs of calculating the number of Offered Shares, which will be allocated to particular Investors: 1. The number of Offered Shares, for which a subscrption was made, which in turn is a subject for preferences, will be multiplied by two. The number of shares listed in subscriptions which are not subjected to preferences, is multiplied by one. In this way, „products” will be calculated for particular subscriptions. 2. Calculated „products” will be summed up. Thus, a „theoretical sum” is obtained. 3. For each subscription, its „proportional participation” in the „theoretical sum” will be calculated – i.e. participation of the „product” in the total sum of those products. 4. The number of shares, which will be allocated to the Investor, is calculated by multiplying the „proportional participation” by the total number of Offered Shares in the given tranche, with the restriction, that the investor cannot have more Offered Shares allocated, that the number listed in the subscription. It means, that depending on the number of subscriptions made, the subscription of an Investor benefitting from preferences will not be reduced or that it will be reduced to the smaller extent than the subscription of an Investor not included in the preferences These preferences are related only to the number of Offered Shares, which has been included in the Purchase Declaration. A repeated submission of a subscription will be treated as submitting a subscription for the total number of Offered Shares included in particular subscriptions. However, in order to participate in preferences resulting from the participation in the „book-building” process, the Investor should submit and pay for the subscription of the number of Offered Shares at least equal to the number specified in the Purchase Declaration. If the subscription is made for a number of Offered Shares greater than indicated in the Purchase Declaration, then preferences in the allocation will be applied only to the number of Offered Shares specified in the Declaration, while the remaining number of Shares will be allocated without preferences.

Informations revealed before the allocation Subscriptions for Shares will be submitted either within the Institutional Investors Tranche or within the Open Tranche. The list of entities entitled to shares purchase within the Institutional Investors Tranche can be found in p. 5.1.4. Part IV of the Prospectus. All Investors are entitled to purchases of Offered Shares within the Open Tranche. On the basis of this Prospectus, a total number of 4 643 130 Shares i offered, including: Within the Institutional Investors Tranche – 3 714 504 Series C Shares to be obtained, with a nominal value of 0,10 PLN each, Within the Open Trench –928 626 Series C Shares to be obtained, with a nominal value of 0,10 PLN each. 5.2.2.1. Transfers between Tranches The Issuing Party holds the right to perform transfers between tranches after the end of the public subscription. Only those Offered Shares can be transferred, which have not been subscribed by Investors within the given tranche, under the condition, that in the other tranche the demand submitted by Investors for Offered shares exceeded their supply. Such transfer will not require an information about the transfer through the powers of art. 51 of the Act on Offer. 5.2.2.2. Allocation rules – description of subscription reductions and return of overpaid amounts The allocation of Offered Shares will be performed by the Board of the Issuing Party within 6 working days from the end of the public subscription. A minimum number of allocated shares is one. The method of treating entities during the allocation of subscriptions does not depend on the fact, by which entity or through each entitry they are made. There are also no previously defined methods of preferential treatment of particular investor types or particular bound groups during the allocation. The only differences in treatment during allocation are a consequence of division into tranches and the preferences in the Institutional Investors Tranches, resulting from obtaining a registered invitations, and preferences in the Open Tranche resulting from the participation in the „book-building”. No overallocation and no option of an additional allocation of the „green shoe” type exists. Institutional Investors Tranche Subscriptions for Offered Shares made in a quantity resulting from a sent invitation, will not be reduced. Sending an invitation for a number of Offered Shares higher than the number declared in the „book-building” is not binding the Investor with a duty of making a subscription for a higher number of Shares than listed in the „book-building” process, Page 258 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus as it only entitles the Investor to use such an option. In relation to this, in a case when a subscription for a smaller number of shares than listed in the invitation is submitted, but with the number higher than or equal to that specified during the „book-building” process, the subscription is not reduced, either. In a case: Of submission of a subscription by the Investor, who was not sent an invitation, Of making a subscription by the Investor, who did not particpate in the „book-building” process, Of submission of a subscription by the Investor invited after the time, in which the Investor should reply to the invitation in order to use preferences, with the time specified in the p. 5.1.4 above, or Of submission of a subscription by the Investor invited to a number of Offered Shares lower than that specified in the invitation, with the exception of a case, when a subscription was made for a number of shares lower than that specified in the invitation, but greater than or equal to the number indicated during the „book-building” process, The subscriptions will be subjected to a proportional reduction, if there are still Offered Shars in the Institutional Investors Tranche, not obtained under the preferential conditions. Subscriptions made by an Investor invited in the part related to the number of Offered Shares exceeding the number specified in the invitation will be subjected to a similar reduction. Open Tranche The number of allocated Offered Shares will be rounded down to an integer, and remaining, single Offered Shares will be allocated to the Investors which have made subscriptions for the biggest numbers of Offered Shares, in turn. It has to be pointed out, that in particular circumstances (a large reduction of subscriptions and small number of subscription for shares, causing the number of shares resulting from the allocation to be lower than 1), it may result in no allocation of Offered Shares at all. If the total number of Offered Shares, for which the subscriptions from the Investors are made, will be greater than the number of Offered Shares, then the subscriptions of the Investors will be subjected to a reduction. This reduction will be proportional for all Investors, with the restrictions for participants of the „book-building” process, given below. Preferences in allocation of Offered Shares will be granted to those Investors, who have submitted Purchase Declaration for the Offered Shares during the „book-building” preocess, followed by a subscription for the number of Offered Shares at least equal to the declared, with the final price of the Offered Shares lower than or equal to the declared one. These preferences mean, that in a case of oversubscription for shares the following procedure will be applied to the needs of calculation of the number of Offered Shares, which will be allocated to particular Investors: 1. The number of Offered Shares, for which a subscrption was made, which in turn is a subject for preferences, will be multiplied by two. The number of shares listed in subscriptions which are not subjected to preferences, is multiplied by one. In this way, „products” will be calculated for particular subscriptions; 2. Calculated „products” will be summed up. Thus, a „theoretical sum” is obtained; 3. For each subscription, its „proportional participation” in the „theoretical sum” will be calculated – i.e. participation of the „product” in the total sum of those products; 4. The number of shares, which will be allocated to the Investor, is calculated by multiplying the „proportional participation” by the total number of Offered Shares in the given tranche, with the restriction, that the investor cannot have more Offered Shares allocated, that the number listed in the subscription. It means, that depending on the number of subscriptions made, the subscription of an Investor benefitting from preferences will not be reduced or that it will be reduced to the smaller extent than the subscription of an Investor not included in the preferences. These preferences are related only to the number of Offered Shares, which has been included in the Purchase Declaration. If in the case of allocation of Offered Shares, an Investor will not be allocated a part, or all of the Offered Shares, for which he/she has made a subscriptions, as a result of subscription reduction or as a result of an invalid subscription made by the Investor, as well as in a case of any other reason making it necessary to return a part or the entire amount paid by the Investor, to the Investor, the amount paid by the Investor will be returned in a way specified by the Investor in the subscription form, within 14 days from the allocation date. These amounts will be returned without interest rates or reparations. 5.2.3. Conditions of offer’s end, the earliest possible end date The public offer of Offered Shares will be closed by the Issuing Party on the date of allocation of Offered Shares. The end of the offer will take place within 6 working days from the end of subscription. 5.2.4. Procedure of notifying investors about the number of allocated shares with the indication, if circulation is allowed before this notification is sent If at least the minimum number of shares designed to be obtained will be subscribed for and paid, the Board will execute, within 6 working days from the date of the end of subscription, shares allocation to the subscribers, according to the published rules of shares allocation. Page 259 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Lists of subscribers, with indications of numbers of Offered Shares allocated to each of them, will be laid out within a week from the moment of allocation of Offered Shares and left for browsing for two weeks in the points acceptng subscriptions, where those subscriptions have been made. The booking of Investor’s rights to Series C Shares on the securities account indicated by the Investor, will take place immediatiely after the registration of rights to Series C Shares in KDPW. The information about booking of rights to Series B Shares will be passed on to the Investor by the brokerage house managing his/her securities account, according to the rules of informing the customers, adapted by the given house. The booking of Offered Shares allocated to the Investor on the securities account where he/she has booked the rights to Series C Shares, will take place immediately after the registration of Series C Shares in KDPW. The information about booking of Offered Shares will be passed on to the Investor by the brokerage house managing his/her securities account, according to the rules of informing the customers, adapted by the given house. The beginning of circulation of rights to Series C Shares and the Offered Shares does not depend on informing the Investor in the aforementioned mode about the numbers of allocated and booked securities. If the Investor does not make a disposal for deposition of shares on the indicated securities account, the shares allocated to him/her will be deposited on the account of a sponsor of the issue. People, who had not been allocated any shares, will be called for collection of paid amounts within two weeks from the end of shares allocation. 5.3. Price of shares The issue price of Offered Shares is 12 PLN maximum and it cannot be lower than the nominal value of shares. The final price of Offered Shares will be determined according to the opinion justifying the exclusion of rights to subscription, the contents of which has been presented in p. 4.6 above (after the „book-building” process or on the basis of a recommendation of a brokerage house offering Series C Shares), and sent, before the start of subscription, according to art. 54 p. 3 of the Act on Offer, i.e. to the KNF and to the general public in the same way the Prospectus was published, and in the mode defined in art. 56 p. 1 of the Act on Offer. The issue price will be equal for both Tranches. There are no additional costs and taxes related to the submission of subscription, with the exception of those listed in p. 5.1.8 above. The price range, in which Purchase Declarations in the „book-buiding” phase will be accepted, is from 10,77 to 12,00 PLN per share. The members of the Board and of the Supervisory Board did not obtain shares of the Issuing Party within one year from the date of Prospectus approval. As of the date of Prospectus approval, no decisions also exists, which would entitle member of the Board and of the Supervisory Board to purchase or to obtain shares of the Issuing Party in the future, under preference conditions. 5.4. Positioning and guarantees (subissue) The Issuing Party did not sign and does not plan to sign a contract on a service or investment subissue. It means that no entities exist, which would guarantee an issue on the basis of a binding agreement. Because of the above, no commission on guaranteeing is planned. Information of the entities, which obliged to position the offer without a binding agreement: Dom Maklerski IDM S.A. located in Kraków, being an Offering Party in the Public Offer will perform positioning actions in the form of execution of the book-building process and meetings with Investors interested in obtaining Offered Shares. DM IDM S.A. does not collect a separate salary for the aforementioned actions. The salary of the Offering Party is calculated from the entirety of obtained shares and no commission on shares obtained as a result of the positioning is distinguished. The Issuing Party: the Board of Rank Progress S.A. will participate in meetings with Investors interested in obtaining the Offered Shares There are no other entities than those mentioned above, which would decide to position the offer without a binding agreement. If a contract on a service or investment subissue is signed, a proper information is revealed to the general public, by making an Annex to this Prospectus, approved by the KNF, available. This Annex will be revealed to the general public in the same way as the Prospectus. Page 260 Rank Progress S.A. – Issue Prospectus Dom Maklerski IDM S.A. located in Kraków, Mały Rynek 7, is the Coordinator of the entire Offer. No coordinators working on the parts of the Offer and entities positioning this Offer in other countries are planned. Also, no payment agents are planned. After the Issue Prospectus is approved, it is predicted that services of the National Deposit of Securities S.A. will be used, which is the main entity offering deposit services on the Polish capital market. 6. Approval of securities to circulation and statements related to circulation 6.1. Approval of securities for circulation It is the intention of the Issuing Party, that the Investors can circulate obtained Offered Shares as soon, as possible. To this end, it is planned to introduce PDA Series C and Series B and C Shares to circulation on a regulated market, immediately after fulfilling the conditions provided by law. The Issuing Party will take all care necessary, so that immediately after the allocation of the Offered Shares, PDA Series C is booked on accounts in the KDPW, in the number corresponding to the number of allocated Offered Shares. The quotation date for Series C Shares on GPW depends mainly on the date of registration of Series C Shares by the court. Thus, the Issuing Party has limited influence in the quotation date of Series C Shares on the GPW. Because of the above, the Issuing Party plans to submit an application to the GPW for approval of PDA series C and Series B and C shares and an application for approval of PDA Series C for circulation on the regulated marked. Once the registration court registers the issue of Series C Shares, the Issuing Party will immediately submit an application to the KDPW, for exchange of PDA Series C for Series C shares, and to GPW – for introduction of Series B and C Shares to the stock exchange circulation. It is the nd intention of the Issuing Party that PDA Series C and Series B Shares are quoted on the regulated market, i.e. GPW, in the 2 quarter of 2010. If it is impossible to fulfill all conditions necessary for approval for circulation on the primary market, the Issuing Party will submit proper applications for introdcution of securities to the circulation on the parallel market. If the registration court refuses to register the issue of Series C Shares – in this case an announcement about the legally effective court decision will be published within 7 days from the date the decision of the register court, refusing the registration of the company capital increase, becomes legally effective. The nature of PDA circulation forms a risk, that in the situation, where the issue of Series C Shares does not take place, the owners of PDA Series C will obtain only the refund equal to the product of the number of PDA booked on the account of the Investor, and the issue price of Series C Shares. If the PDA are purchased on the stock exchange market, at a price higher than the issue price of Series C Shares, the investors are about to record a loss on the investment. The paid amounts will be returned without interests and reparations within 14 days from the publication of the aforementioned announcement. 6.2. Regulated markets or equivalent markets, on which the same class of shares are approved for circulation, as shares offered or approved for circulation Shares of the Issuing Party are not approved for circulation on any regulated (or equivalent) market. 6.3. Information about securities being the subject of subscription or positioning at the same time, or almost at the same time, as created securities, which are a subject of approval for circulation on a regulated market No securities exist, which are a subject of subscription or positioning at the same time, or almost at the same time as created securities, which are a subject of approval for circulation on a regulated market. 6.4. Information about agents in circulation on the secondary market No entities exist, which have a binding obligation of acting as agents in circulation on the secondary market, which guarantee viability using quotation of purchase and sale offers. 6.5.
