PZU strengthens oversight at Alior
PZU Group has reinforced its influence over Alior Bank by appointing three nominees—CFO Tomasz Kulik, Waldemar Maj, and Wojciech Kostrzewa—to the bank's supervisory board. The appointments were confirmed at an extraordinary general meeting requested by PZU, which holds a 31.91% stake in Alior.
Shareholders representing 67.96% of votes participated, with 71.9 million votes in favor, 16.5 million against, and 284,678 abstentions. Meanwhile, Alior’s chairman, Paweł Wajda, and board members Rafał Janczura and Artur Chołody have resigned.
These moves align with PZU’s broader strategy under Andrzej Klesyk, who was recently tasked with overseeing the insurer. His close ally, Kulik, now has a pivotal role in shaping the future of Alior and Pekao. The appointment of Kostrzewa also signals growing influence from Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, a key figure in Poland’s economic landscape.
