5/2015 Summons to a conciliation hearing

The Management Board of Centrum Medyczne ENEL-MED S.A.  (hereinafter referred to as the Company) hereby informs that it has obtained information that the District Court for Warszawa-Śródmieście in Warsaw, the 1st Civil Division, received – on 23 March 2015 – the petition to summon the Company to a conciliation hearing to conclude a settlement resulting in the assuming – by the Company – of the obligation to pay Agnieszka Koncka, a petitioner, the amount of PLN 10,000,000.00 as compensation for harm, the amount of PLN 1,000,000.00 as damages, and the disability pension in the amount of PLN 20,000.00 a month. The total value of the object of dispute was determined to be the amount of PLN 11,240,000.00 The petitioner states that the grounds for such claims include incorrect treatment which was administered in the Company’s hospital but only some part of the whole treatment was given there. The date of the hearing was set for 6 May 2015.

The opinion of the Management Board is as follows: the petitioner’s claims are not justified both in terms of grounds and the amount. Regardless of the aforementioned, the Management Board of the Company informs that the petitioner’s claims are covered by the insurance agreement concluded by and between the Company and Powszechny Zakład Ubezpieczeń Spółka Akcyjna. Furthermore, pursuant to the information held by the Management Board, the claims arising from the petitioner’s treatment in the Company’s hospital had been earlier reported by the petitioner to the Company’s insurer with a significantly lower amount than at present (PLN 150,000.00 as damages, PLN 150,000.00 as compensation, and compensation disability pension in the amount of PLN 4,500.00 a month). After the proceedings covering the adjustment of the claims, the Insurer did not find any characteristics of medical error or negligence in the petitioner’s treatment. In particular, the evidence gathered in that case showed that medical services were provided to the petitioner in the Company’s facility in accordance with current medical knowledge and with the use of available methods and means.

Therefore, the Management Board of the Company is of the opinion that there are no grounds for accepting the liability by the Company.
