See it on page 6The statutory overhaul involves the elimination of several existing paragraphs and chapters, including § 5, § 6, § 1, §§ 16, 18, and chapters VIII-IX, to streamline shareholder rights and governance processes.

See it on page 3The proposed amendments to the statutes of PCF Group S.A., a Warsaw‑based company, aim to revise capital structure limits, governance provisions, and audit committee requirements. Capital changes set a minimum of PLN 599,004.54 and a maximum of PLN 715,810.38 for the share capital, while maintaining existing share series A (27,500,000 shares), B (2,062,512 shares), D (387,714 shares) and adding a new series F with a range of 1 to 5,853,941 shares. The amendments eliminate several statutory paragraphs (e.g., § 5 6, § 1, §§ 16, 18, and chapters VIII‑IX) and modify others to streamline shareholder rights.
Key governance adjustments introduce a “Group of Qualified Shareholders” comprising four named individuals, granting them collective personal rights to appoint or dismiss board members. The group’s authority depends on holding at least 40 % of voting rights and is exercised through joint written declarations accompanied by deposit certificates. If the group fails to act within a month, the board may be appointed by ordinary shareholders; if the group’s rights lapse, ordinary shareholders regain full appointment powers. The amendments also refine board composition rules, allowing five to seven members and specifying the number of directors the group can influence based on board size.
Audit and supervisory provisions are tightened to align with public interest entity standards. The company must maintain at least two independent board members and, upon admission to a regulated market, establish an audit committee with a majority of independent members. These changes ensure compliance with Polish public‑interest entity regulations and enhance shareholder influence over board composition while clarifying audit oversight responsibilities.
