Additional facts around the Polish market and group dynamics:

• Poland has become the sixth strongest economy in the European Union and is one of the fastest-growing regions across the Nexi Group footprint - especially within e-commerce. This reflects the shift towards digitisation, which is being driven by the Polish government’s Paperless & Cashless Poland programme, advancing the growth of cashless and digital payments.

• To benefit from these developments, Nexi Group has heavily invested in Poland over recent years by acquiring both P24, which is a leading player in the e-commerce space, and ePlatnosci (PeP), a leading non-cash payment operator mainly providing in-store payment solutions in Poland.

• As part of Nexi Group, P24 can serve international e-commerce customers with a European-wide offering and will benefit from a strong group product road-map within e-commerce.
