Grupa Azoty Aims to Play a Significant Role in Ammonia Imports to the European Union
Ammonia is one of the key raw materials used in Grupa Azoty's production processes, particularly in the fertilizer segment. It is also highly cost-intensive—both in terms of production and emissions. Importantly, producing 1 ton of ammonia requires at least 950 cubic meters of natural gas. Given the role the cost of gas plays in fertilizer production, producers are increasingly opting to cease the expensive gas-based production of ammonia in favor of importing the ready-made intermediate. Striving for cost optimization, developing a new business area using the company’s own port infrastructure, and reducing emissions are the primary reasons Grupa Azoty is interested in importing ammonia. The company plans to begin these purchases after completing a routine overhaul of the unloading system, starting in October this year.

Notification of Termination of Temporary Management
On July 29, Grupa Azoty S.A. received a notification on behalf of Radosław Kwaśnicki regarding the loss of control over the shares of Grupa Azoty S.A. held by entities associated with Vyacheslav Kantor. This development marks the end of the temporary management established on July 11, 2023. Crucially, this follows the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union about the sanctions imposed on Vyacheslav Kantor on April 8, 2022, and the national sanctions imposed on April 25, 2022, affecting Vyacheslav Kantor and his associated entities: Norica Holding S.a.r.l. (Luxembourg), Opansa Enterprises Limited (Cyprus), and Rainbee Holdings Limited (Cyprus), which collectively hold 19.82% of Grupa Azoty S.A.'s shares. The sanctions include the freezing of financial assets, including the shares of Grupa Azoty S.A. owned by Kantor's associated entities. This freeze has restricted all corporate and property rights of these entities as shareholders since April 25, 2022. Importantly, the termination of temporary management does not affect Grupa Azoty's operations or its relationships with trade partners in various countries.
