The choice of Paweł Antkiewicz, supported by TP Internet, however, was not accepted by the minority shareholders. The other board members are: Dominika Herburt-Heybowicz, Piotr Kisiel, Andrzej Rezler and Wojciech Sak. (Parkiet, p. 5) ... Andrzej Kalwas resigned from his post as member of Dębica's supervisory board due to becoming the Justice Minister. (Parkiet, p. 5) ... LU Polska, a Danone-owned biscuit producer, decided not to close down its plant in Jarosław. The downside of this decision is that it will have to reduce the number of employees from 340 to 160 people. (Parkiet, p. 2) ... The State Treasury, shareholders and creditors of pipes producer Walcownia Rur Jedność (WRJ) are rushing to dispose of the company due to the bullish market, which could give them some chance of recovering at least part of their receivables. The buyer would have to spend an additional zł.200 million for concluding investments in the plant and finally launching production. Potential investors include Ukrainian Donbas and international holding LNM. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) D.W./M.M.
