Regarding our contractual agreements, we regret to inform you that on July 4, 2025, a significant incident occurred in the Czech Republic, including the ORLEN Unipetrol RPA s.r.o. production site in Litvínov – Záluží. This incident resulted in a complete power supply interruption (blackout). The incident led to the emergency shutdown and the immediate cessation of all petrochemical and refinery production operations.  

Power supply to the Litvinov-Záluží site has now been resumed.  We are currently conducting inspections of the affected production units and infrastructure to determine the extent of any damage caused by the incident. We are also working on reinstating production at the earliest possible opportunity.

This event represents, among others, an extraordinary, unforeseen and insurmountable obstacle occurring independently of ORLEN Unipetrol RPA s.r.o. will and beyond its control, i.e. a force majeure event. This obstacle – a force majeure event - still continues.

The occurrence and continuation of the above specified obstacle – a force majeure event - makes it impossible for ORLEN Unipetrol RPA s.r.o. to duly perform its obligations arising from contractual arrangements with its business partners.

The occurred obstacle – a force majeure event - excludes any liability on part of ORLEN Unipetrol RPA s.r.o. and relieves ORLEN Unipetrol RPA s.r.o. from its obligations arising from, or in connection with, contractual arrangements with its business partners, including, without limitation, liability to compensate damage or other loss, or other obligations or liabilities under any other contractual provisions providing remedy.

Thank you for your understanding.
