Notification on the initiation of proceedings by the President of UOKiK
Legal basis: Article 56 Sec. 1 Item 2 of the Act on Public Offering – Current and Periodic Information

Text of the report:

The Management Board of Benefit Systems S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw (the "Company", the "Issuer") informs that on the Company become aware on 21 January 2026 that it received two decisions of the President of Office of Competition and Consumer Protection ("the President of UOKiK") on the initiation of following proceedings:

1) concerning practices infringing the collective interests of individual consumers of fitness networks belonging to the Company, referred to in Article 24 sec. 1 and sec. 2 point 3 of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection (the "OKiK Act") ("Proceeding 1")

2) on recognising certain provisions of the membership sales regulations in the Company's fitness chains and the general terms and conditions of the agreement as prohibited contractual provisions, which may constitute a violation of Article 23a of the OKiK Act (Proceeding 2)

The Proceeding 1 was initiated in connection with the suspicion of using misleading marketing messages regarding contractual periods of memberships in the Company's fitness clubs, the use of misleading electronic messages addressed to the members of the Company's fitness clubs and failure to provide clear and visible information on the total price of memberships in the Company's fitness clubs in the case of agreements concluded remotely.

Proceeding 2 was initiated in connection with the suspicion that certain provisions of the membership sales regulations of the Company's network of fitness clubs may meet the criteria of an unlawful contractual provision due to the fact that they automatically extend the agreement for another fixed period and increase the price for consumers for access to the Company's fitness clubs after the automatic extension of the obligation.

According to art. 106 sec. 1 point 4 of OKiK Act, the President of UOKiK may impose on a company who, even unintentionally, violated the prohibition specified in art. 24 and art. 23a of OKiK Act, a fine in the amount not exceeding 10% of revenue achieved in the financial year preceding the year of imposing the fine for each of the infringements.

At current stage the Company does not agree with the allegations of the President of UOKiK indicated in Proceeding 1 and Proceeding 2 and considers expressing its standpoint in this cases.
