Regarding item 13 clause 5) in the agenda

Resolution no.

of the Ordinary General Meeting of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna

in the matter of covering the retained loss resulting from the change in accounting policies in connection with the first application of IFRS 9 ('Financial Instruments'), using the reserve capital of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna,

Pursuant to section 395 (2) (2) and section 395 (5) of commercial companies' code, section 30 (4) in conjunction with section 13 (12) of the Statute of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A., the Ordinary General Meeting resolves as follows:

§ 1.

The retained balance sheet loss of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna in the amount of PLN 936,747,994.04 (say: nine hundred thirty six million seven hundred forty seven thousand nine hundred ninety four thousand złoty 04/100) is covered from the reserve capital. The loss resulted from the change in accounting policies in connection with the first application of IFRS 9 ('Financial Instruments').

§ 2.

This resolution comes into force on the date of its adoption.

Statement of reasons for the Resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna in the matter of covering the retained loss resulting from the change in accounting policies in connection with the first application of IFRS 9 ('Financial Instruments'), using the reserve capital of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna.

Starting from 1 January 2018, the Bank uses International Financial Reporting Standard no.9 ('Financial Instruments') ('IFRS 9'), which superseded International Accounting Standard no. 39. The implementation of IFRS 9 resulted in a change in the method of valuating credit reserves, causing an increase in these reserves by a net amount PLN 936,748k. This amount was classified as a retained result (loss) that arose on 1 January 2018. As a result, this amount constitutes a retained loss and not a component of the profit and loss statement for financial year 2018. Furthermore, the above loss is not covered and has not been allocated due to the fact that the Bank's General Meeting has not yet adopted a resolution as to the manner of its coverage. Until the loss is covered, it should reduce the amount that can be distributed among the shareholders. When the General Meeting adopts a resolution to cover the loss using reserve capital, the loss ceases to exist. If no resolution to cover the retained loss is adopted, the amount that can be paid out to shareholders as part of distribution of net profit for 2018 should be reduced, by reducing this amount by the uncovered retained loss.

Regarding item 13 clause 6) in the agenda

Resolution no.

of the Ordinary General Meeting of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna

in the matter of distributing the net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for 2018

Pursuant to section 395 (2) (2), section 348 (4) and section 396 (4) and (5) of commercial companies' code, section 13 (2) and (6) and section 33 (1) (2) and (4) of the Statute of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A., the Ordinary General Meeting resolves as follows:

§ 1.

The net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for 2018, in the amount of PLN 2,310,599,572.17 (say: two billion three hundred ten million five hundred ninety nine thousand five hundred seventy two złoty 17/100) is distributed as follows:

1) 74.97% of the Bank's net profit, i.e. the amount of PLN 1,732,302,224.40 (say: one billion seven hundred thirty two million three hundred two thousand two hundred twenty four złoty 40/100), is allocated to dividend,

2) the amount of PLN 578,297,347.77 (say: five hundred seventy eight million two hundred ninety seven thousand three hundred forty seven złoty 77/100) is allocated to reserve capital.

§ 2.

The amount of dividend per share is PLN 6.60 (say: six złoty 60/100).

§ 3.

The ex-dividend date is set for 10 July 2019.

§ 4.

The dividend payable date is set for 30 July 2019.

§ 5.

This resolution comes into force on the date of its adoption.

Statement of reasons for the Resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna in the matter of distributing the net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for 2018.

When presenting its request with regards to the distribution of net profit of Bank Pekao S.A. for 2018, the Bank's Management Board considered the following:

1. the individual recommendation of the Financial Supervision Authority to increase equity through retaining at least 25% of net profit generated between 1 January and 31 December 2018,

2. the Bank's strong capital position ensuring its safe position even in conditions of market volatility and enabling the implementation of development plans, as confirmed by stress testing exercises carried out by the European Banking Authority,

3. the macroeconomic situation,

4. low exposure in mortgage loans denominated in CHF.

According to the Board of Director's request, the amount of dividend per share will be PLN 6.60, resulting in a dividend payout ratio of 74.97% of the Bank's net profit for 2018.

The Supervisory Board assessed the request of the Bank's Management Board with regards to the distribution of net profit and recommended that the Ordinary General Meeting adopt a resolution in this matter.

Adoption of the resolution in the matter of distributing the net profit for 2018 recommended by the Management Board and Supervisory Board depends on the prior adoption of the resolution in the matter of covering the retained loss.

2. Approval is granted to the division plan of the Divided Company, agreed in writing between the Divided Company and the Bank and CBB on 27 February 2019, and made publicly available from 27 February 2019 and continuously onwards until the present day on the Divided Company's, Bank's and CBB's websites ('Division Plan').

REPORT ON THE EVALUATION OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY AT BANK POLSKA KASA OPIEKI SPÓŁKA AKCYJNA IN 2018

As part of the supervision exercised, and in accordance with §18 item 19 of the Articles of Association of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna, the Supervisory Board assessed the functioning of the Remuneration Policy at Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna (hereinafter: "Remuneration Policy") in 2018.

The Supervisory Board assessed positively the continuation by the Bank of a balanced approach to total remuneration, which ensures, in particular, the market level of fixed elements of remuneration, and the possibility of acquiring rights to variable elements of remuneration as part of incentive schemes. The payment of the variable elements of remuneration depended on the results and took into account the Bank's risk. Guided by the principle of having a flexible policy of the variable elements of remuneration, the Bank applied incentive systems ensuring the long-term increase of value of shareholders and stability of the Bank's operations.

Employees covered by the Corporate Collective Labour Agreement were paid incentive bonuses for special achievements at work and the results obtained by the Bank, and, based on the Bank's results audited after each quarter, the quarterly bonus was calculated and paid. Employees covered by the Management by Objectives System received a settlement of their individual objectives and the annual bonus depending on the results achieved, and additionally, for sales employees, a quarterly settlement and advance payment depending on the implementation of the individual annual objectives divided into quarters were introduced.

Guidance on how to assess the compliance of the implementation of objectives and tasks by employees in terms of compliance with the generally applicable law and the Bank's internal regulations, the requirements and recommendations of the supervisory bodies, and the standards of conduct adopted by the Bank, including the assessment of satisfaction and quality of customer service, was introduced. The guidelines introduced were aimed at mitigating the risk of rewarding inappropriate employee attitudes and maintaining consistency of the assessment.

As part of the Variable Remuneration System for the Management Staff covering the Bank's employees and having a significant impact on the Bank's risk profile, the settlement of the 2017 objectives was made and the advance instalments and deferred instalments of the variable remuneration were granted and settled, in accordance with the applicable Principles of the Variable Remuneration System. The assessment of the results of work took place at the individual level, at the level of the organizational units and based on the Bank's results, while maintaining the Bank's 3-year business cycle and the risk associated with the conducted operations. The payment amounts were determined based on the assessment of the achievement of individual objectives in the current year, and on the assessment of the compliance of the conduct with the law, the Bank's internal regulations and the standards of conduct adopted by the Bank. The compliance assessment carried out did not reveal any infringements.

In 2018, the Supervisory Board adopted, by way of a resolution, the Principles of the Variable Remuneration System, which covered the Members of the Bank's Management Board, and put into practice the provisions of the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of the Bank regarding the principles of determining the remunerations of the Members of the Management Board of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna.

Taking into account the business strategy, building of the Bank's brand as an Employer responsible for the development and involvement of employees, the Bank's Management Board continued talks with the trade union organizations aimed at introducing changes to the Corporate Collective Labour Agreement. The proposed changes concerned, in particular, the remuneration system, including the principles of awarding bonuses and rewarding employees based on transparent, objective and fair criteria, while respecting the law and caring for the quality of service and customer satisfaction.

The Internal Audit Department reviewed the implementation of the remuneration policy, with a particular emphasis on the variable elements of remuneration. The report on this review was presented to the Supervisory Board and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The general assessment of the results of this review in December 2018 was satisfactory, the adopted solutions were assessed as compliant with the requirements of law and supporting the correct and effective risk management, implementing the Bank's management strategy and limiting the conflict of interest.

The Supervisory Board assesses that in 2018 the Remuneration Policy was implemented by the Bank in accordance with its assumptions, as part of the remuneration shaping processes, where the Bank followed the principle of paying adequate remuneration for lasting results. The remuneration system is compliant with the provisions of the generally applicable law and consistent with the Bank's principles of ethical conduct and the Bank's values. The Bank's Management Board strives to introduce changes to the remuneration principles, together with its social partners, which will reflect even better the adopted business strategy.

The Supervisory Board considered that the Remuneration Policy implemented in 2018 was aimed at ensuring the long-term growth of the value of shareholders and the stability of the enterprise's operation, and was consistent with its provisions and objectives. The development and security of the Bank is ensured through the existence of incentive systems that pursue objectives consistent with the interests of customers, shareholders and employees, and through providing an adequate level of control, both during the implementation of the individual actions under the Remuneration Policy, and control of the system solutions.

The Supervisory Board assesses positively the functioning of the Remuneration Policy in 2018.

The strategic issues that the Supervisory Board was dealing with included, first and foremost, the following: approval of the internal procedure concerned with "Strategic Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting and Monitoring Financial Plans at Bank Pekao S.A.", issuing a positive opinion on the distribution of the Bank's profit for 2017 and positive assessment of the application of the Bank's Management Board on determining the general directions for the distribution of the Bank's profits for the years 2018-2020, approval of the "Multiannual Capital Management Strategy 2018 - 2020",

In its discussions with the Management Board, the Supervisory Board focused on the macroeconomic outlook for Poland, the Bank's investor relations, activity of the Bank's subsidiaries and analyses concerned with development of the Bank's business, with non-organic growth included as well.

The following were also analyzed by the Supervisory Board on a regular basis: (i) financial standing, (ii) sales results concerning key products, (iii) quality of assets and (iv) risk levels.

The Supervisory Board supervised the process of managing risk at the Bank. It conducted an in-depth analysis of quarterly reports concerned with the following: managing financial risk, controlling operational risk, credit portfolio and debt recovery operations.

In particular, the Supervisory Board approved amendments to the 2018 Annual Audit Plan and acknowledged the report on the activity of the Internal Audit Department in 2017.

The Supervisory Board approved results of the review of the Bank's internal control system performed in 2017.

The Supervisory Board appointed a new member of the Nominations and Remuneration Committee.

IV. Assessment of reports of the Bank's Management Board on the activities of the Bank and of the Capital Group for the year 2018, as well as of the financial statements of the Bank and of the Capital Group for 2018, as well as of the motions of the Management Board of the Bank on covering the undistributed loss from previous years, created as a result of changes to accounting principles resulting from the application, for the very first time, of the International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9, and on distributing the net profit for the year 2018.

Acting pursuant to Article 382 § 3 of the Code of Commercial Companies and fulfilling its statutory duties, the Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A. assessed the Management Board's reports on the activities of the Bank and of the Capital Group in 2018, as well as the financial statements of the Bank and of the Capital Group for 2018, in terms of their consistency with the books, documents and the factual state.

As a result of this assessment, and having become acquainted with the report of the independent certified auditor on the review of the financial statements of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna and of the consolidated statements of the Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna Capital Group for the year 2018, the Supervisory Board issues its positive opinion on the achieved results, and recommends the General Meeting of Shareholders to pass resolutions approving these statements.

When formulating the aforementioned recommendation, the Supervisory Board took into consideration the following:

1) The Bank's 2018 activities focused on continued, sustainable growth in all areas, on effective strengthening of its good position on the retail banking market, and of its leader position in the corporate banking domain.

In 2018, the Bank generated a net profit of PLN 2,310.6 million, which was by PLN 222.5 million, i.e. 10.7% higher than the net profit generated in 2017.

The net profit of the Bank Pekao S.A. Capital Group attributable to the Bank's equity holders equaled PLN 2,287.2 in 2018 and was by PLN 187.9 million, i.e. 7.6% lower than the result reported for 2017.

The interest income was by 9.6% higher YoY in the Bank and by 7.8% higher YoY in the Capital Group, mainly thanks to the higher volumes of loans and deposits alike. Higher margin and higher dividend revenues.

The Group's non-interest income achieved in 2018 was by 1.7% higher YoY, while for the Bank it was by 5.7% lower YoY. The result on fees on commissions (including commission resulting from margins on foreign exchange transactions with customer) was by 4.7% higher YoY in the Group and by 2.6% lower YoY in the Bank, compared to 2017.

Costs of the operating activity of the Bank and of the Group in 2018 were higher, by 3.1% YoY and 5.5% YoY, respectively, due to higher personnel costs (mainly to the amount of approximately PLN 50 million related to the Voluntary Resignation Program that could be taken advantage of by

employees eligible to retirement in 2018) and other administration costs (mainly those related to marketing).

2) Return on Equity amounted to 10.7% and 10.2% for the Bank and for the Group, respectively.

3) Thanks to the effective commercial activity of the Bank and the Group in 2018, a significant growth in loan volumes was reported both in the area of retail loans (by 10.6% YoY for the Bank and 10.5% YoY for the Group). Such a substantial increase in lending was largely financed by higher volumes of retail deposits growing by 11.9% YoY in the Bank and 11.8% YoY in the Group.

4) The solid liquidity structure of the Bank and of the Group is reflected by the net loans-to-deposits ratio which equaled, at the end of December 2018, 86.7% and 89.5%, respectively. This, in conjunction with the high value of capitals, allows continued and stable growth of the Bank's and the Group's operations. The total capital ratio (TCR) for the Bank amounted to 18.7% at the end of December 2018 and was higher (by 0.3 p.p.) than at the end of 2017. The total capital ratio (TCR) for the Group equaled 17.4% at the end of December 2018 and was higher (by 0.3 p.p.) then at the end of December 2017.

5) Bank Pekao S.A. was consistently implementing the strategy of strengthening its position on the market of financing housing and consumer goods. In 2018, the Bank sold nearly PLN 10 billion worth of mortgage loans, which is a record-high result and which has translated into a 12% (YoY) increase in the value of PLN-denominated mortgage loans. The market share in new sales equaled nearly 19%. This exceptional result was also boosted by the sale of loans granted under the government's "Apartment for the Young" (Mieszkanie dla Młodych - MdM) program supporting those under the age of 35 in the acquisition of their first, new apartment. The MdM Program was discontinued at the end of 2018. During the term in which it was available, Bank Pekao S.A. extended over 41,000 loans for the total value of nearly PLN 7.3 billion. In 2018 the value of cash loans for private customers increased by 16% YoY. Sale of cash loans was boosted by the competitive Express Loan (Pożyczka Ekspresowa) offering, individual loans based on CRM tools, and effective use of electronic sale channels: PeoPay mobile banking app and Pekao24 online banking system.

6) In line with the strategy it has adopted, Bank Pekao S.A. remains the Bank of first choice for corporate customers, rendering both a comprehensive range of services offered by a universal bank, and all other financial services available in Poland (including leasing, factoring and investment consulting, inter alia in relation to mergers and acquisitions). Every other big corporation in Poland is currently taking advantage of the Bank's services. The Corporate Banking, Markets and Investment Banking Division currently serves approximately 13,000 entities, including approximately 2,500 foreign customers and over 2,500 local government entities and municipal companies. The Bank maintains its position of the leading corporate bank a leader of innovative product solutions targeted for businesses and institutions. The broad product offering, innovative solutions and a customized approach allow it to provide a comprehensive range of services for businesses, institutions and public sector entities.

7) Bank Pekao S.A. is a universal bank offering all financial services that are available in Poland to private and institutional customers. The broad product offering, innovative solutions and a customized approach allow it to provide a comprehensive range of services for customers, and the customer service model relied upon guarantees the highest quality of that service and ensures that they are always suited to their changing needs. Since 2017 Bank Pekao S.A. has been a part of the PZU S.A. Capital Group - the largest financial institution in Central and Eastern Europe.

8) Pursuant to the "Strength of the Polish Bison" (Siła Polskiego Żubra) strategy adopted for 2018-2020, the Bank intends to continue activities aiming to attain the positions of a profitability leader by building lasting business relationships and improving its operational efficiency. The following

shall remain the Bank's strategic priorities for 2019: smart growth, building long-term customer relations based on an integrated service model, operational transformation designed to strengthen its position of the best recognized bank in Poland, thanks to a professional approach creating value for customers.

Assessment of the motions of the Management Board of the Bank on covering the undistributed loss from previous years, created as a result of changes to accounting principles resulting from the application, for the very first time, of the International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9, and on distributing the net profit for the year 2018

The Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A. assessed the motions of the Bank's Management Board on distributing the net profit generated by Bank Pekao S.A. in 2018 and on the proposed method of covering the undistributed loss from the previous years.

The Supervisory Board issued a positive opinion on the motion to distribute the net profit of Bank Pekao S.A. generated in 2018, taking into consideration the following factors:

1) strong capital standing of the Bank; the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio for the Bank Pekao S.A. Group equaled, in December 2018, without the 2018 net profit included, 15.8% (Tier 1 for the Bank equaled 17.0%). The Group's buffer by which the minimum Tier 1 requirements of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority are exceeded equals 4.4 pp. Furthermore, stress tests conducted by the European Banking Authority confirmed that the Bank is immune to the materialization of stress conditions. Such a strong capital standing ensures the safe position of the Bank even if the market becomes volatile, and allows it to pursue its growth plans,

2) fulfillment of the criteria and recommendations of the Office of the Financial Supervision Authority regarding profit distribution terms and restrictions,

3) low exposure to mortgage loans denominated in CHF,

4) compliance with the Financial Plan and the Capital Management Strategy for 2019.

Considering the above, the Supervisory Board decided to recommend the General Meeting to adopt a resolution on the distribution of net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for 2018 in the amount of PLN 2.310.599.572,17 in accordance with the motion of the Management Board, i.e.:

1) to allocate the amount of PLN 1,732,302,224.40 to dividend,

2) to allocated the amount of PLN 578,297,347.77 to reserve capital.

According to the above-mentioned recommendation, the payment of cash dividend shall amount to PLN 6.60 per share, which translates into a payout ratio of 75.0% of the Bank's net profit for 2018.

A the same time the Supervisory Board issued a positive opinion on the motion of the Bank's Management Board related to covering, fully by relaying on the Bank's reserve capital, the undistributed loss from previous years amounting to PLN 936,747,994.04, created as a result of changes to accounting principles resulting from the application, for the very first time, of the International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 ("Financial Instruments"), and decided to recommend the General Meeting of Shareholders to adopt a resolution concerning this issue, in line with the motion of the Bank's Management Board.

The primary objectives of the sponsoring activity of Bank Pekao S.A. include the following: building the image of the Bank as a leading financial institution in terms of CSR-related activities, i.e. an institution that is in close touch with its customers and with the communities in which it is active, distinguishing the Bank's brand against the brands of its market competitors, promoting awareness of the Bank and its products among the public, evoking positive associations between a given event and the Bank, forming and strengthening positive opinions about the Bank and its products, as well as providing the Bank's business Divisions with a reliable promotional platform enabling them to conduct promotional activities and to build strong and positive relations with the Bank's customers. The policy pursued by the Bank in this area is governed by internal regulations, i.e. an Ordinance of the President of the Bank's Management Board that defines the rules, procedures and competences related to granting donations and to sponsorship schemes in which Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna participates.

In its sponsoring and charitable activity, the Bank supports selected organizations and institutions pursuing various types of projects in the following areas:

1) education and upbringing of children and youths,

2) scientific and research undertakings, as well as didactic undertakings of scientific institutions and schools,

3) popularizing knowledge about banking,

4) providing assistance to the ill and the disabled,

5) promoting physical education and sports,

6) protecting the environment,

7) pursuing projects and activities of charitable organizations,

8) promoting culture.

Due to the organizational changes commenced with the structures of the Foundation, no new initiatives were taken in 2018. Instead, previously assumed obligations were fulfilled, with funds earmarked, inter alia, for scholarships for talented students from poor families.

Before a donation is granted or a sponsoring agreement is concluded, the Bank assesses the risks involved (due diligence) in accordance with anti-corruption and conflict of interest prevention regulations in place at the Bank.

The Supervisory Board's opinion about the Bank's policy concerning sponsoring and charitable activities is positive.

Self-assessment of the Supervisory Board's work

Acting in accordance with its rights and obligations set forth in the Code of Commercial Companies, Banking Law, recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the Code of Best

Practices for WSE Listed Companies and the Bank's Statute, the Supervisory Board exercised, in 2018, permanent supervision over the activities of the Bank.

The good financial results of the Bank achieved in 2018, its position in the Polish banking sector, adequate capital management and effective risk management should be considered as stemming, inter alia, from proper and effective operation of the Supervisory Board and from proper fulfilment of the tasks and obligations it has been entrusted with.

With the information presented above taken into consideration, one may assess the activity of the Supervisory Board in 2018 as effective, professional and performed in accordance with the best practices.

Evaluation of the Bank's standing in 2018, broken down into assessment of internal control, risk management and compliance systems, as well as the internal audit function

Pursuant to the Code of Best Practices for WSE Listed Companies, the Supervisory Board of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna has assessed the standing of the bank in 2018, evaluating also the internal control system and the risk management system in place at the Bank.

General assessment of the Bank's standing

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the general economic and financial standing of Bank Pekao S.A. is stable. Bank Pekao S.A. meets all safe operations and capital adequacy requirements and ensure the security of funds deposited by its customers, displaying exceptional capital strength and resilience. The Supervisory Board Bank Pekao S.A. has a positive opinion about the results achieved by the Bank and the Bank Pekao S.A. Capital Group in 2018.

The Bank's 2018 activities focused on continued, sustainable growth in all areas, on effective strengthening of its good position on the retail banking market, and of its leader position in the corporate banking domain.

In 2018, the Bank generated a net profit of PLN 2,310.6 million, which was by PLN 222.5 million, i.e. 10.7% higher than the net profit generated in 2017.

The net profit of the Bank Pekao S.A. Capital Group attributable to the Bank's equity holders equaled PLN 2,287.2 in 2018 and was by PLN 187.9 million, i.e. 7.6% lower than the result reported for 2017.

The interest income was by 9.6% higher YoY in the Bank and by 7.8% higher YoY in the Capital Group, mainly thanks to the higher volumes of loans and deposits alike. Higher margin and higher dividend revenues.

The Group's non-interest income achieved in 2018 was by 1.7% higher YoY, while for the Bank it was by 5.7% lower YoY. The result on fees on commissions (including commission resulting from margins on foreign exchange transactions with customer) was by 4.7% higher YoY in the Group and by 2.6% lower YoY in the Bank, compared to 2017.

Costs of the operating activity of the Bank and of the Group in 2018 were higher, by 3.1% YoY and 5.5% YoY, respectively, due to higher personnel costs (mainly to the amount of approximately PLN 50 million related to the Voluntary Resignation Program that could be taken advantage of by employees eligible to retirement in 2018) and other administration costs (mainly those related to marketing)

Return on Equity (ROE) amounted to 10.7% and 10.2% for the Bank and for the Group, respectively.

Thanks to the effective commercial activity of the Bank and the Group in 2018, a significant growth in loan volumes was reported both in the area of retail loans (by 10.6% YoY for the Bank and 10.5% YoY for the Group). Such a substantial increase in lending was largely financed by higher volumes of retail deposits growing by 11.9% YoY in the Bank and 11.8% YoY in the Group.

The solid liquidity structure of the Bank and of the Group is reflected by the net loans-to-deposits ratio which equaled, at the end of December 2018, 86.7% and 89.5%, respectively. This, in conjunction with the high value of capitals, allows continued and stable growth of the Bank's and the Group's operations. The total capital ratio (TCR) for the Bank amounted to 18.7% at the end of December 2018 and was higher (by 0.3 p.p.) than at the end of 2017. The total capital ratio (TCR) for the Group equaled 17.4% at the end of December 2018 and was higher (by 0.3 p.p.) then at the end of December 2017.

Bank Pekao S.A. was consistently implementing the strategy of strengthening its position on the market of financing housing and consumer goods. In 2018, the Bank sold nearly PLN 10 billion worth of mortgage loans, which is a record-high result and which has translated into a 12% (YoY) increase in the value of PLN-denominated mortgage loans. The market share in new sales equaled nearly 19%.

This exceptional result was also boosted by the sale of loans granted under the government's "Apartment for the Young" (Mieszkanie dla Młodych - MdM) program supporting those under the age of 35 in the acquisition of their first, new apartment. The MdM Program was discontinued at the end of 2018. During the term in which it was available, Bank Pekao S.A. extended over 41,000 loans for the total value of nearly PLN 7.3 billion. In 2018 the value of cash loans for private customers increased by 16% YoY.

1) a control function (control mechanisms, independent monitoring of compliance with control mechanisms, control function-related reporting),

2) an independent compliance unit (Compliance Department),

3) an independent internal audit unit (Internal Audit Department)

and covers all organizational units of the Bank and its subsidiaries.

The rules pursuant to which internal control is exercised, including the control mechanisms approved by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A., are adapted to the organizational structure of the Bank, to the magnitude and profile of risks identified in the ICAAP Procedure, and to the scale of the Bank's activity. These rules are reviewed and assessed within the framework of internal audit procedures.

The Internal Control System in place at the Bank comprises all organizational levels and is enforced by the Bank's statutory organs, by its individual organizational units, by persons in charge of exercising supervision at all management levels, and by all employees. The primary objectives of the Internal Control System include the following:

1) ensuring effectiveness and efficiency of the Bank's operations,

2) ensuring reliability of financial reports,

3) ensuring that risk management principles in place at the bank are complied with,

4) compliance of the Bank's operations with applicable laws, internal regulations and market standards.

More detailed, specific objectives of the Internal Control System are identified as well for each of the general goals listed above.

The Internal Control System in place at the Bank comprises three lines of defense:

1) first line of defense - managing the risk inherent in the Bank's operational activity,

2) second line of defense - risk management control exercised by employees holding specific positions, or by organizational units - independently of risk management performed as part of the first line of defense,

3) third line of defense - independent Internal Audit Department.

The Bank ensures independent monitoring of compliance with control mechanisms in relation to all of its processes, by:

1) horizontal monitoring performed within the framework of the first line of defense and vertical monitoring of the first line of defense performed by the second line of defense,

2) horizontal monitoring within the framework of the second line of defense,

3) horizontal monitoring within the framework of the third line of defense.

Compliance with control mechanisms is monitored, independently, via: on-going verification and testing.

The dedicated structures fully cover the crucial risk areas that the three lines of defense referred to above are concerned with.

Control functions are performed, in relation to subsidiaries, by the Bank's representatives being members of their supervisory boards.

The Management Board of the Bank is responsible for designing, implementing and ensuring that an independent, adequate and effective Internal Control System is available at all organizational units and at all organizational positions of the Bank.

The Supervisory Board oversees the introduction and operation of the adequate and effective Internal Control System.

Assessment of the risk management system

The Supervisory Board has a positive view on the risk management system in place at the Bank and in the Pekao Group.

The risk management system is of a comprehensive and consolidated character and covers all units of the Bank and its subsidiaries.

The risk management strategy in the form of the ICAAP Policy adopted by the Management Board of the Bank in accordance with the regulatory requirements was approved by the Supervisory Board. The ICAAP Policy is subject to regular reviews and the required updates in order to adjust it to the best market practices, legal norms and changes taking place in the Bank and in its operating environment, and also in order to maintain its validity and adequacy to the scale and complexity of the activities performed by the Bank and by the Group.

In accordance with the law and with supervisory regulations, the Management Board of the Bank is responsible for achieving the strategic risk management goals. The Supervisory Board, supported by the Supervisory Board's Risk Committee, oversees the compliance of the Bank's policy related to exposure to various risks with the Bank's overall strategy and financial plan, in particular by defining the Bank's risk appetite and by approving the following documents adopted by the Management Board: risk management strategy (ICAAP Policy), capital management strategy, credit policy, investment and market risk policy, operational risk strategy and model policy, as well as by reviewing periodic reports of the Management Board concerned with the management of individual risk types.

The risk management system in place at the Bank constitutes an integral element of the Bank's management system. The system has been adapted to the Bank's organizational structure and it is adequate to the activities conducted by the Bank, as well as to the magnitude and profile of Pillar I risks and Pillar II risks defined under ICAAP.

The Bank applies, as part of the risk management system, formal procedures aiming to identify, measure and monitor risks, as well as risk-mitigating limits. The managerial information system in place at the Bank enables effective monitoring of risk levels. The risks are monitored with regard to profitability and the capital required to take them.

Credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk are managed by the Risk Management Division which is supervised by the relevant Vice President of the Management Board. Other risks are managed jointly between the Risk Management Division and other divisions involved in controlling such risks.

The following play an important role in risk management: credit risk - Credit Committee, market and liquidity risk - Asset, Liability and Risk Committee, operational risk - Operational Risk Committee and Bank Security Committee, model risk - Model Risk Committee. Effective risk management is one of the strong points of the Bank.

Assessment of the non-compliance risk management system

The Supervisory Board has a positive view on the system used to manage the risk of non-compliance that aims to ensure the activities of the Bank and of its employees comply with the applicable laws, internal regulations and market standards relied upon in the Bank's processes.

There is a separate compliance unit operating with the Bank's structure, namely the Compliance Department that is fully independent (both organizationally and operationally) and that reports directly to the President of the Bank's Management Board. The Compliance Department constitutes a key element in the process of ensuring compliance within the Bank.

The Bank ensures compliance by applying purpose-designed control mechanisms and tools relied upon to manage the risk of non-compliance. While performing its control functions, the Compliance Department designs and supervises the implementation of control mechanisms aiming to ensure compliance with applicable laws, internal regulations and market standards, or applies these on its

own, and monitors, in an independent manner, their application by other organizational units of the Bank. The Compliance Department is responsible for implementation, at the Bank, of the process of managing the risk of non-compliance that consists in identifying, assessing, controlling and monitoring the risk of non-compliance of the Bank's activity and in submitting relevant reports. Reports on the implementation of the tasks of the Compliance Department, along with estimates of the risk of non-compliance, are submitted to the Management Board and to the Supervisory Board. The Bank oversees also the risk of non-compliance related with the activity of its subsidiaries.

Assumptions of the process relied upon to manage the risk of non-compliance have been defined in specific regulations drawn up by the Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board. These include the following: Compliance Policy of Bank Pekao S.A. and Regulations of the Bank Pekao S.A. Compliance Department. The key elements supporting the aforementioned process include:

a) supervision exercised by the Supervisory Board over, and liability of the Management Board for effective management of the risk of non-compliance,

b) properly defined organizational structure and relevant HR policy,

c) internal regulations concerned with ensuring compliance,

d) process of identifying, assessing, controlling, monitoring and reporting the risk of non-compliance,

e) training,

f) on-going cooperation of the Compliance Department with the Internal Audit Department and with other organizational units responsible for performing control functions and for managing the risk of non-compliance.

In order to ensure compliance with applicable laws, internal regulations and market standards, all of the Bank's employees apply relevant control mechanisms or monitor, in an independent manner, the compliance with control mechanisms, in accordance with their scopes of duties and obligations.

The Supervisory Board oversees the process of managing the risk of non-compliance with the support of the Audit Committee. The Supervisory Board assesses effectiveness of the process of managing the risk of non-compliance based on periodic and annual reports of the Compliance Department, information from the Management Board and opinions of the Audit Committee. The Supervisory Board reviews and approves the Bank's annual report on the management of the risk of non-compliance. The Supervisory Board is also responsible for approving the Compliance Plan for the following year.

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, cooperation with the Compliance Department is good.

Assessment of the internal audit function

The Supervisory Board has a positive view on the activity of the internal audit function of Bank Pekao S.A.

The Supervisory Board approved the appointment of the new Internal Audit Department Director and approved the report on the activity of the Internal Audit Department in 2017.

the Internal Audit Department and proving that the objectives that have been set forth are actually met.
