The essence of the service is to accept from a customer an order regarding a financial instrument and transfer the order to another entity that will complete it. The Brokerage Office acts as an agent for customers in purchase or sales transactions regarding various instruments (including stocks, bonds, derivatives) quoted on selected markets in Poland and abroad. This service enables our customers to make individual investment decisions that will be executed on the day chosen by a customer. Furthermore, in addition to accepting and transferring an order for completion, our brokers may provide market information that is available to general public. Investment decisions of our customers who use the investment advisory service may be preceded by a relevant recommendation regarding the selected financial instrument.

The Brokerage Office provides this service under the permit granted by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, uniquely on condition that a customer has previously entered with the Brokerage Office into an agreement for acceptance and transfer of orders to purchase or sell financial instruments. The said agreement and the Regulations applicable to acceptance and transfer of orders to purchase or sell financial instruments define the principles based on which the Brokerage Office offers a given brokerage service, inclusive of the principles applied to acceptance of orders and any other instructions regarding financial instruments.

As required by the Polish law provisions implementing the MiFID, the Brokerage Office may begin accepting and transferring orders to purchase or sell financial instruments once a customer has replied to questions provided in a questionnaire assessing the suitability of financial instruments and services for customers of the Brokerage Office (MiFID questionnaire). The questionnaire completed by a customer enables the Brokerage Office to establish

• level of customer's knowledge about investments in financial instruments and other products,
• investment experience declared by the customer.

The Brokerage Office assesses the MiFID questionnaire and informs the customer whether a given financial instrument covered by an order or a given service, are suitable for the customer.

Additionally, prior to signing an agreement, a customer is provided with the so-called "MiFID Information Package" that comprises the following information:

• information on the Brokerage Office, Bank BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A. and services consisting in acceptance and transfer of orders to purchase or sell financial instruments (including the Regulations applied to provision of such services),

• information on the customer classification used by the Brokerage Office,
• basic rules applied by the Brokerage Office to situations where a conflict of interest occurs or general rules governing management of conflict of interests by the Brokerage Office,
• and other required information or documents.

A customer who wishes to sell or purchase financial instruments is additionally required to conclude an agreement on provision of brokerage services in organised trading with Dom Maklerski mBanku S.A. cooperating with the Brokerage Office, and to open an investment account with Dom Maklerski mBanku S.A. A customer signing an agreement for acceptance and transfer of orders to purchase or sell financial instruments may grant a power of attorney to the Bank, thus authorizing it to enter into a relevant agreement on his/her behalf and open an investment account.

The Brokerage Office begins providing services under the signed agreement for acceptance and transfer of orders to purchase or sell financial instruments as well as under the Regulations when the aforementioned agreement with Dom Maklerski mBanku S.A. has been signed and investment account opened, which is confirmed to the customer by the Brokerage Office.

The purpose of advisory services is to provide customers with a professional analysis of their investment portfolio allocation, taking into account their individual situation, needs and knowledge about financial markets. Expert opinions of the Brokerage Office enable customers to fully control management of their assets.

The Brokerage Office provides these services under the permit granted by the Financial Supervision Authority. The advisory services are provided by experienced and adequately qualified employees of the Brokerage Office to customers who concluded an agreement for provision of investment advisory services with the Brokerage Office. The agreement and the Regulations applicable to provision of investment advisory services define the principles based on which the Brokerage Office renders a given brokerage service, including the rules for preparing recommendations or analytical reports.

As prescribed by the Polish law provisions implementing the MiFID, provision of investment advisory services requires a customer to reply to questions provided in a questionnaire assessing the suitability of financial instruments and services for customers of the Brokerage Office (MiFID questionnaire). The completed questionnaire enables the Brokerage Office to assess:

• level of customer's knowledge about investments in financial instruments and other products,
• investment experience,
• financial standing,
• investment purpose.

Additionally, as a part of the services rendered by the Brokerage Office, a customer is provided with investment recommendations that take into account the current market situation and individual financial needs of the customer. An investment decision as to financial instruments specified in the provided recommendations lies with the customer. In exceptional circumstances, when important market events have occurred, a customer may obtain additional recommendations that will help the customer to optimally use the market changes to his/her advantage.
