With reference to current report no. 21/2014 dated 5 February 2015, the Management Board of Polimex-Mostostal S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw at ul. Młynarska 42 (‘the Company’, ‘the Issuer’) informs that today a litigation attorney provided it with a statement of counterclaim filed by the State Treasury represented by Generalny Dyrektor Dróg Krajowych i Autostrad (the General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways) (‘GDDKiA’) against the consortium of the following companies: Polimex-Mostostal S.A., Doprastav a.s., in relation to Agreement no. 2811/45/2010 dated 23 September 2010 concerning construction of the A4 motorway, the Rzeszów (Rzeszów Wschód junction) – Jarosław (Wierzbna junction) section from km 581+250 to 622+450 (‘the Contract’). The value of the object at issue amounts to PLN 249,476,370 (in words: two hundred and forty-nine million, four hundred and seventy-six thousand, three hundred and seventy Polish zlotys), inclusive of statutory default interest. The subject matter of the counterclaim is the demand of the State Treasury GDDKiA for payment of a contractual penalty for the GDDKiA’s withdrawal from the contract, for payment of statutory interest on that sum, and for payment of a contractual penalty for failure to carry out specific construction works with the interest.
The Issuer contests legitimacy of the claims from GDDKiA in their entirety.
