WARSAW, Poland – June 25, 2008 - Netia SA (“Netia”) (WSE: NET), Poland‘s largest alternative provider of fixed-line telecommunications services, announced today that as part of the ongoing process of internal consolidation of Netia subsidiaries (the “Netia Group”), the decision has been made, in accordance with Article 492, section 1 subsection 1 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code (“CCC”), to merge the Company with its wholly owned subsidiary Netia Wimax SA with its registered seat in Warsaw (the “Acquired Company”).
