The Management Board of Agora S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw ("Agora", "the Company") informs that on December 31, 2020 the Company started negotiations with key managers of the subsidiary Helios S.A. who are also minority shareholders of Helios S.A. ("Managers") regarding the considered change of the terms of the currently applicable call and put options relating to their shares in Helios S.A., i.a. in terms of: (i) postponement of the possibility of the Managers to call on the Company to purchase the shares of Helios S.A. held by them (put option) in such a way that by the end of the second quarter of 2024 the put option will cover a maximum of 20% of the Managers' shares, and (ii) postponement the Company's right to call upon Managers to sell the Helios S.A. shares held by them (call option), so that the call option can be exercised from January 1, 2025 at the earliest.
In addition, the buyout price for 51% of the shares acquired under the put option would be determined based on the results of Helios S.A. for the 2018 and 2019 financial years.

Changing the terms of the put option and the terms of the call option requires the above-described negotiations to be successfully completed and the appropriate annexes to the option agreements binding for the Company and Managers to be concluded.
