the products of The Dow Chemical Company and its controlled companies in Poland. Taking into account that

management processes and centralize business functions in one entity. In particular the merger of Dow Polska

Sp. z o.o. and Rohm and Haas Polska Sp. z o.o. will allow to reduce the costs related to the operation of both

business enterprises and streamline settlements and cash flow within he group. Operation of a separate

accounting, financial reporting and tax returns, company real property and assets security, cleaning, utilities,

bank services (transaction banking) and the like. The merger of Dow Polska Sp. z o.o. and Rohm and Haas

Polska Sp. z o.o. by means of universal succession; the said assets and liabilities can be used in the business

activity of Dow Polska Sp. z o.o.

Summing up, the merger of Dow Polska Sp. z o.o. (the acquiring company) and Rohm and Haas Polska Sp. z

o.o. (the acquired company) should have a positive effect on the improvement of the Group competitiveness

in Poland. The above reasons weigh in favor of the merger of Dow Polska Sp. z o.o. and Rohm and Haas Polska

Sp. z o.o. pursuant to article 492 § 1 point 1 of the Code of Commercial Partnerships and Companies. Therefore

and due to the fact that the sole shareholder of Dow Polska Sp. z o.o., Dow Europe Holding B.V., by force of the

Share Transfer Agreement (Umowa Przeniesienia udziałów) concluded with Rohm and Haas Denmark Holding

Company ApS has also become the sole shareholder of Rohm and Haas Polska Sp. z o.o. as of 24 November
