Grupa Bumech submitted a lease offer for the organized part of PG Silesia to the sanation administrator. The company declared intentions to take over selected employees under Article 23(1) of the Labor Code.

On January 8, Bumech reported that a court terminated the restructuring proceedings for PG Silesia, prompting a revised offer that includes unspecified conditions to reduce operational costs. The end of PG Silesia's restructuring and the lease agreement are seen as steps towards an employee protection agreement made in December 2025.
