In light of the above, on April 12, 2017 Litenite delivered a voluntary early redemption notice to noteholders of the Litenite Notes, setting the date of the early redemption and the early redemption value. The early redemption will be executed on April 26, 2017 according to the value determined in the terms of issuance of the Litenite Notes at the total level of PLN 886,703,685.12 (say: eight hundred eighty six million seven hundred and three thousand six hundred eighty five zlotys and twelve grosze) increased by a premium for early redemption in the amount of PLN 58,658,296.32 (say: fifty eight million six hundred fifty eight thousand two hundred ninety six zlotys and thirty two grosze).

The decision to redeem the Litenite Notes before maturity will result in the recognition in the consolidated financial statements of Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. capital group (“Cyfrowy Polsat Group”) for the first quarter of 2017 of a provision for the premium for the early redemption of the Litenite Notes in the abovementioned amount. This in turn will have a one-off, negative impact on consolidated net profit of Cyfrowy Polsat Group in the amount of ca. PLN 59 million.

The aim of the early redemption of the Litenite Notes is the consistent execution of the strategic goal in the area of efficient capital resource management that is the consistent reduction of the indebtedness of Cyfrowy Polsat Group.
