Further to the suggestions made in public by some experts and analysts that PGNiG SA currently intends to dispose of its 4 million and one share in Zak?ady Azotowe Tarnów (ZAT), which the Company bought in June 2008 for PLN 78m, please let me clarify that, as stated in June this year, PGNiG SA regards the acquisition of ZAT shares as a mid- or long-term equity investment. Therefore, until the strategy for the chemical industry is finally determined, the Company does plan to sell the ZAT shares.
