(“Company”, “JSW”) reports that on 29 April 2022 it adopted a resolution on the occurrence of force majeure in JSW and the notification of the Company’s business partners of its occurrence and the ensuing consequences for the obligations affected by the operation of force majeure.

On the basis of the decision made by the Director of the Regional Mining Authority in Rybnik regarding the Zofiówka Section of KWK Borynia-Zofiówka, the operation of this section of the mine where the mine accident occurred has been suspended.

For safety reasons the entire region where the mine accident occurred has been sealed off using stoppings in KWK Pniówek and it is not currently possible to specify how long this region will be sealed off.

As a result of the analyses conducted, the impact exerted by these mine accidents in terms of reduced coal production until the end of 2022 has been tentatively estimated to be roughly 400 thous. tons.

Moreover, the Company reports that as at the date of preparing this report, it is not possible to specify the full impact on the future prospects of the Company and of the JSW Group.
