  14. PRAGUE STOCK EXCHANGE • ČEZ “Each and every day, dozens, perhaps hundreds, of the best analytical minds of the planet examine whether the decisions of ČEZ Group are the best.” • KOMERČNÍ BANKA “Placing securities on the bourse provides a company with important feedback. Reports from analysts containing an assessment not only of the situation of companies but that of the entire market as well as future development forecasts are a valuable source of information. These reports then help the company to better assess the market situation and expected development. They thus become one of the instruments used to monitor the long-term position on the market or prepare the business plan or budget.” • ERSTE BANK “After deciding to exclude the shares of Česká spořitelna from trading on the Prague bourse, Erste Bank strived to commence the public trading of shares on the Prague market. In this way, it wanted to provide investors with an alternate bank name and to address an even wider group of investors.” • ZENTIVA “The successful entrance on the Prague and London stock exchanges in June 2004 was certainly an important milestone for Zentiva. We are pleased by the interest shown by domestic and foreign investors in our potential for future growth.” • ORCO GROUP “Already in the first few weeks, the Prague bourse was bringing up to 40% of the total volume of investment, which a remarkably high figure. We were also able to significantly expand the investor base.” WHAT ARE THE VIEWS OF SELECTED ISSUERS

  15. PRAGUE STOCK EXCHANGE • CME “Listing on the Prague bourse has already fulfilled our expectations: CME shares are available to investors in the regions where we are active. In this way, we have been able to present CME to investors who are interested in this region and created an opportunity for future cooperation. We believe that other companies focusing on the region of Central and Eastern Europe who want to participate in its development should take the same step.” • PEGAS NONWOVENS “By entering the Prague and Warsaw stock exchanges, Pegas Nonwovens acquired greater transparency and credibility among its customers, suppliers, and other business and technical partners. Investors are interested in our company’s story, which makes it possible for us to turn to the market in the future to finance further growth.” • VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP “For the second listing, we also considered other stock exchanges in Central and Eastern Europe. The decisive argument for the bourse in Prague was, however, the strong position of Kooperativa of Vienna Insurance Group on the Czech insurance market. Another impulse was the fact that VIG is the only insurance company listed on the Prague bourse. VIG wanted to reflect its strong participation on the market in the Czech Republic.” • NWR “If a corporation achieves a certain degree of size and prosperity, it is natural that it will offer its equity shares to investors and will place them on public markets. We have chosen a combination of three European stock exchanges – we are registered in Prague because our activity originated in the Czech market and we simply belong here. In London, the demand of specialised investors oriented on the mining sector is concentrated. We have also registered our equity shares in Poland, which is the second most important destination after the Czech Republic for our company as concerns further development. The owners of the successful Czech companies should act similarly – it will be beneficial not only to them and their companies but also to the capital market and, ultimately, to the entire economy.” WHAT ARE THE VIEWS OF SELECTED ISSUERS
