With reference to the Resolution by the Board of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A.

(i.e. the Annual General Meeting of Budimex S.A. to be held on 19 May 2011) that a resolution in that matter be adopted. In the years 2003, 2005 and 2008, the General Meeting of Budimex S.A. adopted resolutions on adherence to corporate governance rules (best practices) at Budimex S.A. in previous implementations.
The Management Board took the following decisions on adherence to DPS 2010 at Budimex S.A.:

- Resolution No 15 of the Management Board of Budimex S.A. of 23 June 2010 on adoption for application by the Management Board of Budimex S.A. of the “Best Practice of WSE Listed Companies” altered by the Resolution No 17/1249/2010 of 19 May 2010, hereinafter referred as to DPS 2010.
- The Decision of 8 March 2011/ Minutes No 4 item 3 of the Management Board Meeting of Budimex S.A./ - The Company will start adhering to Principle 10 in full when it rids of doubts as to the practical functioning
of new regulations regarding two-way communication in real time whereby the Shareholders may speak out during the meeting of the General Meeting from a place other than the meeting venue, and exercising the right
to vote in person or through a proxy during the General Meeting using means of electronic communication. These doubts arise from the lack of similar experience of process participants (Shareholders, the Company, service providers), and from the fear of conducting the General Meeting not in line with the applicable law. The Supervisory Board of Budimex S.A. took the following decisions on application of, supervision over and adherence to DPS 2010 at Budimex S.A.:


- Resolution No 176 of the Supervisory Board of Budimex S.A. of 30 September 2010 on adopting for application by the Supervisory Board of Budimex S.A. and supervising in the Company over the adherence to the “Best Practice of WSE Listed Companies” together with the alterations passed by the Board of Warsaw Stock Exchange in Warsaw by the Resolution No 17/1249/2010 of 19 May 2010, hereinafter referred as to DPS 2010,

The Supervisory Board, upon request of the Management Board, by the Resolution No 182 of 23 March 2011 applied to the Annual General Meeting to adopt the Resolution No 165, as proposed, which provides for the exclusion from application of items 2 and 3 of Principle 10 of Chapter IV – Best Practices for Shareholders, of the following wording:


“10. A Company should enable its Shareholders to participate in a General Meeting using electronic communication means through:
2) two-way real-time communication whereby shareholders can take the floor during the General Meeting of Shareholders from another location than the venue of the meeting,
3) exercise voting rights in person or through a proxy in the course of the General Meeting.” Item 1 of Principle 10 of Chapter IV – Best Practices for Shareholders has been applied by Budimex S.A. for several years and no alterations in this respect are expected.
