Eureko B.V. receives dividend payments

Eureko B.V. hereby announces that dividend payments from PZU SA, as agreed in the Settlement Agreement signed on 1 October 2009, have been received.

The receipt of the dividend is the trigger for Eureko formally to end the arbitration procedure based on the Treaty on the Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investments between the Republic of Poland and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This arbitration procedure had been suspended since May 2009 when Eureko and the Ministry of State Treasury started confidential negotiations.

Both parties regard this dividend payment as the first step of the Settlement Agreement reached on 1 October 2009. Subsequently, an Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting is scheduled for 2 December 2009, to decide on the Initial Public Offering (IPO) and on changes in the Articles of Association of PZU.
