(incorporated as a joint-stock company under the laws of the Republic of Poland)
EUR 4,000,000,000
Programme for the issuance of the Covered Bonds (hipoteczne listy zastawne)
Under this EUR 4,000,000,000 Programme (the "Programme"), PKO Bank Hipoteczny Spólka Akcyjna, with its registered offices at ul. Pulawska 15,
02-515 Warsaw, Poland (the "Bank") may from time to time issue mortgage covered bonds (hipoteczne listy zastawne) (the "Covered Bonds"). The
Covered Bonds will be issued in bearer form.
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Covered Bonds from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed EUR 4,000,000,000
(or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in the Programme Agreement), subject to increase as described herein.
The Covered Bonds may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "General Description of the Programme" and to
any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Bank (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"), which appointment
may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Covered
Bonds being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Covered Bonds.
An investment in the Covered Bonds involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 1 of this Base
Prospectus.
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
("Luxembourg") in its capacity as competent authority (the "Competent Authority") under Article 31 of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a
regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Regulation"). The CSSF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the
standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an
endorsement of the Bank or of the quality of the Covered Bonds that are the subject of this Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment
as to the suitability of investing in the Covered Bonds. Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law (loi du 16 juillet 2019 relative aux prospectus
pour valeurs mobiličres) provides that, by approving this Base Prospectus, in accordance with Article 20 of the Prospectus Regulation, the CSSF does
not engage in any economic or financial opportunity of the operations or activities or the quality and solvency of the Bank. Application has been made to
list Covered Bonds on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and/or on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and to trade the Covered Bonds on
the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and/or the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The regulated market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the regulated market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange are regulated markets for the purposes of the Directive 2014/65/EU
of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive
2011/61/U (as amended, "MiFID II").
The Programme provides that Covered Bonds may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s) in the
European Economic Area (the "EEA") or markets as may be agreed between the Bank and the relevant Dealer. The Bank may also issue unlisted Covered
Bonds and/or Covered Bonds not admitted to trading on any market.
In order to be able to conduct a listing in relation to certain issuances of Covered Bonds and/or to list certain Covered Bonds on a Regulated Market of
the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Bank applied for a notification of this Base Prospectus pursuant to Article 25 of the Prospectus Regulation into the
Republic of Poland ("Poland"). The Bank may request the CSSF to provide competent authorities in additional host Member States within the European
Economic Area with a notification.
This Base Prospectus is valid for 12 months from its date. The obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus in the event of a significant new
factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid.
Moody's Deutschland GmbH ("Moody's") is established in the European Union and is registered under the Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies (as amended) (the "CRA Regulation"). Moody's is included in
the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") on its website
(https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk) in accordance with the CRA Regulation. Moody's is not established in the United
Kingdom ("UK") and has not applied for registration under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European
Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (the "UK CRA Regulation"). The rating(s) issued by Moody's will be endorsed by Moody's Investors
Service Limited. Moody's Investors Service Limited is established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation. As such, the rating(s) of
Moody's may be used for regulatory purposes in the UK in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation.
The Covered Bonds issued under the Programme are expected to be assigned a rating by Moody's. However, the Bank may also issue Covered Bonds
which are unrated or rated by another rating agency. Where a Tranche of Covered Bonds is rated, such rating will be disclosed in the applicable Final
Terms and will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to other Tranches of Covered Bonds. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy,
sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
Interest amounts payable under the Floating Rate Covered Bonds may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR or WIBOR, as specified in the relevant
Final Terms. As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the administrators of EURIBOR or WIBOR are included in the ESMA's register of administrators
under Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "EU Benchmark Regulation"). The regulatory status of any administrator under the EU Benchmark
Regulation is a matter of public record and, save as required by the applicable law, the Bank does not intend to provide any updates or prepare any
supplement to reflect any changes in the regulatory status of any administrator.
The Covered Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any
state securities laws, and are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. The Covered Bonds issued under the Programme will be offered and sold outside the
United States to, or for the account or benefit of, non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S") in compliance
with applicable securities laws.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
This document constitutes the base prospectus of PKO Bank Hipoteczny Spólka Akcyjna (the "Bank") in respect of
Covered Bonds (the "Base Prospectus"). This Base Prospectus constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 8
of the Prospectus Regulation.
This Base Prospectus should be read and understood in conjunction with any supplement thereto and with all the documents
incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below). Full information on the Bank and
any Tranche of Covered Bonds is only available on the basis of the combination of this Base Prospectus, including any
supplements thereto, and relevant final terms (the "Final Terms").
The Bank is solely responsible for the information in this Base Prospectus and the Final Terms for the Covered Bonds
issued under Programme from time to time. The Bank hereby declares that, to the best of its knowledge, the information
contained in this Base Prospectus for which it is responsible, is in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely
to affect its import.
This Base Prospectus contains selected macroeconomic, industry and statistical data as well as data relating to the PKO BP
group (the "Group") which has been derived from publicly available sources, including official industry sources and other
third-party sources, such as financial statements of the Group which do not form part of this Base Prospectus. Such
information, data and statistics have been accurately reproduced and, as far as the Bank is aware and is able to ascertain
from information published by the third party, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information
inaccurate or misleading. Such information, data and statistics may be based on a number of assumptions and estimates
and may be subject to rounding.
The requirement to publish a prospectus under Prospectus Regulation only applies to the Covered Bonds, which are to be
admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EEA.
Neither Powszechna Kasa Oszczdnoci Bank Polski S.A. ("PKO BP", the "Arranger" and together with any further
financial institution appointed as a dealer under the Programme Agreement, the "Dealers"), nor any other Dealer nor any
other person mentioned in this Base Prospectus, excluding the Bank, is responsible for the information contained in this
Base Prospectus or any supplement thereof, or any Final Terms or any other document incorporated herein by reference,
and accordingly, and to the extent permitted by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, none of these persons accept any
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained or incorporated in this Base Prospectus or
any other information provided by the Bank in connection with the Programme. No representation, warranty, or
undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liability is accepted by the Dealers as to the accuracy or
completeness of the information contained or incorporated in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by
the Bank in connection with the Programme.
No person is or has been authorised by the Bank to give any information or to make any representation not contained in or
not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the
Covered Bonds and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised
by the Bank, the Arranger or any of the other Dealers.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any Covered Bonds:
(a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation; or (b) should be considered as a recommendation by
the Bank, the Arranger or any of the other Dealers that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other information
supplied in connection with the Programme or any Covered Bonds should purchase any Covered Bonds. Each investor
contemplating purchasing any Covered Bonds should make its own independent investigation of the financial condition
and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Bank. Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other
information supplied in connection with the Programme nor the issue of any Covered Bonds constitutes an offer or
invitation by or on behalf of the Bank, the Arranger or any of the other Dealers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase
any Covered Bonds.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Covered Bonds shall in any
circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Bank is correct at any time subsequent to the
date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct as of any time subsequent
to the date indicated in the document containing the same. The Arranger and the other Dealers expressly do not undertake
to review the financial condition or affairs of the Bank during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the
Covered Bonds of any information coming to their attention. Investors should review, inter alia, the most recently
published documents incorporated by reference into this Base Prospectus when deciding whether or not to purchase any
Covered Bonds.
Restrictions on Distribution
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Covered Bonds in any
jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. The distribution of
this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Covered Bonds may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. The Bank,
(i)




the Arranger and the other Dealers do not represent that this Base Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that any
Covered Bonds may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such
jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such
distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the Bank, the Arranger or the other Dealers which would
permit a public offering of any Covered Bonds outside the European Economic Area or distribution of this Base Prospectus
in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Covered Bonds may be offered or sold,
directly or indirectly, and neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed
or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable laws and
regulations. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus or any Covered Bonds may come must inform themselves
about, and observe any such restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering and sale of Covered
Bonds. In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Covered Bonds
in the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Italy and Belgium (see "Subscription and Sale").
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Covered Bonds in any Member State of the European
Economic Area (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus
Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Covered Bonds. Accordingly any person making or
intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of Covered Bonds which are the subject of an offering
contemplated in this Base Prospectus as completed by Final Terms in relation to the offer of those Covered Bonds may
only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Bank, the Arranger or any other Dealer to publish a
prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the
Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Bank nor the Arranger nor any other Dealer has
authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Covered Bonds in circumstances in which an obligation arises
for the Bank, the Arranger or any other Dealer to publish or supplement this Base Prospectus for such offer.
The Covered Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and are
subject to U.S. tax law requirements. The Covered Bonds issued under the Programme will be offered and sold outside the
United States to, or for the account or benefit of, non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act in
compliance with applicable securities laws.
General investment considerations
The Covered Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Covered Bonds must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor may
wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Covered Bonds, the merits and
risks of investing in the Covered Bonds and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Base
Prospectus or any applicable supplement to this Base Prospectus;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, the appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular
financial situation, an investment in the Covered Bonds and the impact the Covered Bonds will have on its overall
investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Covered Bonds,
including Covered Bonds with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies or where the currency for
principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Covered Bonds and is familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices
and financial markets;
(v)
understands that an investment in the Covered Bonds involves a reliance on the creditworthiness of the Bank only
and not that of any other entities; and
(vi)
is able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest
rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain investors are subject
to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should
consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent: (1) Covered Bonds are legal investments for it; (2)
Covered Bonds can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing; and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or
pledge of any Covered Bonds. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to
determine the appropriate treatment of Covered Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
All references in this Base Prospectus to "PLN" and "Zloty" refer to Polish zloty, all references to "Sterling" and "£"
refer to pounds sterling, all references to "euro", "EUR" and "" refer to the currency introduced at the start of the third
stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as
amended from time to time, and all references to "Swiss Francs" and "CHF" refer to the currency of Switzerland.
(ii)




As at 17 June 2024, the EUR/PLN spot exchange rate published by the National Bank of Poland was EUR 1.00 = PLN
4.3608.
Certain figures in this Base Prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, amounts shown as totals
in tables or elsewhere may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures which precede them.
The term "mortgage covered bond" as used herein corresponds to the use of the term "hipoteczny list zastawny" as used in
Polish legislation. Covered Bonds (as so capitalised) mean mortgage covered bonds in bearer form.
Stabilisation
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Covered Bonds, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilisation
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot
Covered Bonds or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Covered Bonds at a level higher
than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may
begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Covered
Bonds is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date
of the relevant Tranche of Covered Bonds and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Covered
Bonds.
Any such stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilisation Manager(s) (or
persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in accordance with all relevant requirements applicable
to such actions in the jurisdictions where such actions are effected (including rules and other regulatory
requirements governing any stock exchange where such covered bonds are listed).
Important ­ EEA Retail Investors
If the Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Covered Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, with effect from
such date, should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area
("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point
(11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended or superseded,
the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared
and therefore offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA
may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Important ­ UK Retail Investors
If the Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors",
the Covered Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one
(or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance
Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article
2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified
investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law
by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making
them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Covered Bonds or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / target market
The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which
will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the
Covered Bonds are appropriate, and may outline further details in connections therewith. Any person subsequently offering,
selling or recommending the Covered Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Covered Bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product Governance rules
under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any
Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealer nor
any of its respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
(iii)




UK MiFIR product governance / target market
The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds will include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which
will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the
Covered Bonds are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Covered Bonds (a
distributor) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA
Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds (by either adopting or
refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance
Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but otherwise
neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK
MIFIR Product Governance Rules.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Base Prospectus includes "forward-looking statements". All statements other than statements of historical fact
included in this Base Prospectus, including, without limitation, those regarding the Bank's financial position, business
strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Bank, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Bank's present and future business strategies and the environment in
which the Bank will operate in the future. Important factors that could cause the Bank's actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those
discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors". These forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of this Base
Prospectus or as at such earlier date at which such statements are expressed to be given. Subject to any continuing disclosure
obligation under applicable law (including, without limitation, the obligation to prepare a supplement to this Base
Prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation), the Bank expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking
to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in the
Bank's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement
is based.

under the Covered Bonds pursuant to such merger (polczenie), division (podzial)
or transformation (przeksztalcenie formy prawnej) is not permitted under the Polish
Covered Bonds Act to issue covered bonds, the Bank or its successor entity shall
redeem such Covered Bonds at par. The terms non-bankruptcy liquidation

(przeksztalcenie formy prawnej) in this paragraph shall have the meaning as
prescribed under Polish law.

Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled and subject to
Condition 5(c) "Redemption of the Covered Bonds in the event of the Bank's
Bankruptcy and appointment of a Trustee", each Covered Bond will be redeemed
by the Bank at 100 per cent. of its nominal value on its scheduled maturity date.

Covered Bonds having a maturity of less than one year may be subject to restrictions
on their denomination and distribution, see "Certain Restrictions".
Extended maturity in the event of
Upon a Bankruptcy Event of the Bank (as defined in Condition 5(c) of the
the Bank's bankruptcy:
Conditions), the maturity of all outstanding covered bonds issued by the Bank,
including the Covered Bonds, will automatically be extended by 12 months (the
"Extended Maturity Date"). While interest under all of the Bank's covered bonds
(including the Covered Bonds) will continue to be payable in the manner and on the
dates indicated in the Terms and Conditions of the Covered Bonds and the applicable
Final Terms, a Bankruptcy Event may affect the timing and amount of principal to
be paid to Covered Bond Holders.

On the date of the Bankruptcy Event, the bankruptcy court appoints a bankruptcy
receiver (syndyk) who will assume responsibility for the administration of the Bank's
assets. Within three months of the Bankruptcy Event, the bankruptcy receiver must
conduct, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Law:


a coverage test (test równowagi pokrycia) to determine whether the assets
forming the separate bankruptcy asset pool (osobna masa upadloci) of the
Bank are sufficient to satisfy all of the Bank's obligations towards holders of
the outstanding covered bonds (including the Covered Bonds) issued by the
Bank; and


a liquidity test (test plynnoci) to determine whether the assets forming the
separate bankruptcy asset pool of the Bank are sufficient to satisfy all of the
Bank's obligations towards holders of the outstanding covered bonds issued
by the Bank in full taking into account the Extended Maturity Dates of the
outstanding covered bonds (including the Covered Bonds) issued by the
Bank.

If the results of both the coverage test and the liquidity test are positive, the claims
of the Holders of the Covered Bonds for the repayment of principal are to be fulfilled
in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Covered Bonds and the
applicable Final Terms up to the Extended Maturity Date.

If the result of the coverage test is positive but the result of the liquidity test is
negative, or if the result of the coverage test is negative, the maturity of the Covered
Bonds will be extended by three years from the latest maturity date of a receivable
in the cover pool.

In certain circumstances provided by Polish law, the claims of the Holders of the
Covered Bonds for the payment of principal may be satisfied sooner than the
applicable extended maturity dates pursuant to pass-through procedures from the
receivables in the cover pool.

In addition, the holders of all outstanding covered bonds issued by the Bank may,
by a vote of holders representing two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding covered bonds of the Bank, adopt resolutions requesting the bankruptcy
receiver to sell the cover pool (Condition 5(c) "Redemption of the Covered Bonds in
the event of the Bank's Bankruptcy and appointment of a Trustee").

Other circumstances may affect the timing and amount of principal to be paid to
Covered Bond Holders. For further details see Condition 5(c) "Redemption of the
Covered Bonds in the event of the Bank's Bankruptcy and appointment of a Trustee"
of the terms and conditions of the Covered Bonds.
