European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD") has obtained necessary internal approvals to participate in the Placement and is considering an investment of up to PLN 270 million for the purchase of shares of Bank Millennium subject to acceptable terms and conditions, representing up to 3% of the Company's total capital.

In this context, BCP has agreed to a 180 day lockup period with respect to sales of additional shares of Bank Millennium.
