The PZU Board of Directors informed that an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders will be held on February 15, 2024. The stock exchange announcement also included the agenda of the scheduled meeting, one of which included changes in the composition of the Supervisory Board.
According to the articles of association of the largest Polish insurance company, the Supervisory Board of PZU consists of seven to 11 members. Given the circumstances, it can be assumed that this is a prelude to replacing the company's board of directors.
PZU is another state-owned company that recently announced a general meeting to change the supervisory board. Previously, this was done through, among others: the stock exchange, KGHM or Orlen.

Separating companies controlled by the state treasury from parties was one of the main demands of the opposition before the elections. The Civic Coalition even included him in its program and announced that within 100 days of assuming power, all members of the supervisory and administrative boards of companies contributing to the state treasury would be dismissed.
The State Treasury owns shares in more than 400 entities. The ministry, headed by Boris Budka, oversees 135 companies, many of the largest of which are listed on the stock exchange. A few days before the end of the year, the Ministry of State Assets sent letters to state agencies requesting that general shareholders’ assemblies be held. This was an essential step in replacing members of the supervisory boards and subsequent management boards.

Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
