The Management Board of STALEXPORT S.A. for the few last years has been systematically executing ?the Programme of executing the strategy of STALEXPORT S.A. in the years 2002-2007 under the condition of the arrangement proceedings? approved in 2002
According to the approved plan, the execution of the repayment of the arrangement and off-arrangement liabilities is the most important task of the Company. The arrangement proceedings, which covered the liabilities in the amount of 605 m zloty and the restructuring of the off-arrangement liabilities in the amount of 251 m zloty, gave the possibility for further functioning of STALEXPORT S.A. The company systematically meets its arrangement and off-arrangement liabilities. Till 01.12.2006 13 out of 20 arrangement instalments have been repaid.
The off-arrangement liability towards the State Treasury by virtue of guarantees for Huta Ostrowiec
( ca 78 m zloty) still remains to be additionally repaid, the repayment of which will commence in the second half of 2008. The interests are currently repaid. The matter of the possible liability towards the State Treasury by virtue of guarantees for WRJ Sp. z o.o., which is not settled till today, and which ? according to the best knowledge of the Management Board ? is estimated at maximum ca 88 m zloty.
Such considerable financial burdens affect the diminishing of the working capital, which results in the lack of the development of business activity and credit rating. Analysing the existing situation of the Capital Group of STALEXPORT it should be stated that the main tasks for the near years are:
The basic conditions of the executing of the above mentioned aims, among other things, are:
In the opinion of the Management Board, equity capital of the Company does not secure the execution of the business purposes planned by the Company. The scale of needs of the Company indicates, that the necessary means can be obtained only by issue of new shares, which will be offered to the external investor. Such investor would contribute not only the necessary capital to the Company, but also other values, including in particular the experience and market credibility in the strategic activity for the Company, i.e. managing the motorways (highways).
Signing with the Company AUTOSTRADE S.p.A. with the seat in Rome, an investment agreement on 26.06.2006 served this purpose; this agreement anticipates two-stage capital investment in STALEXPORT S.A. In the first stage the amount of 68,318,756 zloty, by issuing 34,159,378 shares of F series was obtained. The issue of 89,500,00 shares of G series in the framework of the second stage and its subscription by AUTOSTRADE S.p.A. will result in capital investment in the company by the amount of 179,000,000 zloty as well as in business support by one of the world?s largest company dealing with the management of toll motorways.
It will allow to:
Simultaneously, the strategic capital investment of AUTOSTRADE S.p.A. in STALEXPORT SA is the main cause of the increase in prices of the shares of the Company, which has been maintaining till today since occurring the first market ?rumours? in regard to possible investment in Poland by AUTOSTRADE S.p.A. Thus as from 31.12.2005 the stock quotation increased from 1.64 zloty per one share to the 3.79 zloty per one share (as at 04.12.2006).
