The title is awarded following an annual

poll organised by the Polish Association of Retail Investors. This year's poll,

launched in March, culminated in the official Equity Market Champion title

award ceremony held during the WallStreet 18 Conference in Karpacz on June

6th–8th 2014. Grupa Azoty S.A. competed against eight other nominees, including

such listed companies as PZU S.A., Tauron Polska Energia S.A. and Serinus

Energy Inc.

“The

Equity Market Champion title is particularly valuable as it is awarded by

investors themselves in an on-line vote,” says Andrzej Skolmowski,

Vice-President of the Grupa Azoty Management Board. “Recently, we have seen

many indications that our efforts are appreciated by investors, and this title

is yet another proof of that. We are looking to strengthen this relationship

further, paying close attention to transparent communication.”

The

Equity Market Champion title is yet another award given to Grupa Azoty S.A. in

recognition of the excellent quality of its investor relations. The Company has

also received such distinctions as the Golden Website Award and has been

nominated to the President's Business Award in the ‘global presence’ category.

Additionally,

at the 18th Wall Street Conference, Grupa Azoty S.A. once again received the

10/10 Programme participation certificate. The goal of the Programme is to

deliver best practices in communication with retail investors, based on their

needs and communication models functioning on foreign markets. By participating

in the project, Grupa Azoty S.A. promises to pursue a proactive policy of

communication with retail investors and respect the rights of this group of

investors.
