Note: The discount/ premium is calculated in accordance with the IPS i.e., the discount/ premium between the FP shares closing price on the BVB - REGS for each trading day and the latest published NAV per share at the date of the calculation.
As at the end of the first nine months of the year, on 30 September 2022, the share price was RON 1.7500, implying a discount of 37.92%, based on the latest NAV available at the date of the calculation.
According to the Management Agreement in force starting with 1 April 2022, the First Reporting Period of the mandate is from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2022 and the Second Reporting Period is from 1 January 2023 until 31 December 2023.
In accordance with the Fund's IPS, there are two performance objectives that the AIFM is aiming to achieve. The NAV objective refers to an Adjusted NAV1 per share in the last day of the Reporting Period higher than the reported NAV per share as at the end of the previous Reporting Period. The discount objective implies the discount between the closing price of the Fund's shares on BVB – REGS and the latest reported NAV per share to be equal to, or lower than 15%, in at least 2/3 of the trading days in the Reporting Period.
The Adjusted NAV per share as at 30 September 2022 was 25.5% higher than the 31 December 2021 NAV per share of RON 2.2624.

The Sole Director is committed to its continued efforts towards protecting shareholders' value and to implement the necessary measures in accordance with the IPS to address this volatile environment. For 2022, the Sole Director proposed, and shareholders approved during the 20 April 2022 GSM, a dividend distribution of RON 0.1250 per share with payment date on 27 June 2022. Also, on 18 February 2022 the Fund started the payment of the special dividend distribution of RON 0.06 per share, approved by shareholders during 15 December 2021 GSM. The remaining cash balance was distributed to shareholders through a combination of daily share buybacks and a Tender offer finalised on 29 June 2022. Following the above, the total distributions to the Fund's shareholders during the first nine months of 2022 amount to RON 2,150.7 million2 .
1 Summarizing the provisions of the IPS, the adjusted NAV for a given date is calculated as the sum of: (i) the reported NAV as at the end of the Reporting Period; (ii) any distributions to shareholders, being either dividend or non-dividend ones (i.e. in the last case following reductions of the par value of the shares and distribution to the shareholders), implemented after the end of the previous Reporting Period, and (iii) any distribution fee and any transaction/ distribution costs relating to either dividend or nondividend distributions including buy-backs of shares/ GDRs/ depositary interests executed through daily acquisitions or public tenders after the end of the previous Reporting Period. The adjusted NAV per share is equal to the adjusted NAV divided by the total number of the Fund's paid shares, less FP ordinary shares bought back and less equivalent in FP ordinary shares of FP GDRs acquired and not yet converted into FP ordinary shares, on the last day of the Reporting Period. For more details, please refer to the IPS available on the Fund's webpage.
2 Out of which: RON 339.4 million for February 2022 distribution, RON 774.3 million for June 2022 distribution and RON 1,037.0 million for 13th buy-back programme.
In the period between 1 January 2022 and 30 September 2022, the discount to NAV was below 15% in 81 trading days (42.9% of the period) while in the remaining 108 days was above 15% (57.1% of the period).

The twelfth buy-back programme has been finalized on 31 December 2021. During the 20 April 2022 EGM, the Fund's Sole Director proposed, and the shareholders approved the cancellation of the 194,371,754 treasury shares repurchased through the twelfth buy-back programme. All the related legal and regulatory steps for the cancelation of shares were finalised on 19 October 2022 – for more details please see section Subsequent events.
During the 15 December 2021 GSM the shareholders approved the thirteenth buy-back programme for a maximum number of 800,000,000 shares and/ or equivalent GDRs corresponding to shares, starting with 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2022, at a price that cannot be lower than RON 0.2 per share or higher than RON 2.5 per share. The shares repurchased during the buy-back programme will be cancelled. The Fund selected Auerbach Grayson in consortium with Swiss Capital to provide brokerage services for the programme. The Fund is allowed to buy back daily up to 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Fund's shares (in the form of ordinary shares or GDRs) on the regulated market on which the purchase is carried out, calculated in accordance with the applicable law.
The thirteenth buy-back programme started on 31 January 2022.
On 29 March 2022 the Fund submitted to the FSA an application for the endorsement of a tender offer to accelerate the thirteenth buy-back programme.
The daily execution of buy-backs for both shares on BVB and GDRs on LSE was suspended starting with 14 March 2022.
The Fund selected Swiss Capital S.A. together with Auerbach Grayson as agents and Swiss Capital S.A. as intermediary in relation to the purchase of shares, and The Bank of New York Mellon as tender agent in relation to the GDR purchases.
On 11 May 2022, the FSA approved the Fund's application for the public tender offer. The purchase price was RON 2.19 per share and the USD equivalent of RON 109.50 per GDR, and the subscription period was from 18 May to 24 June 2022.
On 24 June 2022, the Investment Manager announced the results of the tender offer: total subscriptions of 1,358,016,097 shares representing 417.8511% of the Offer (1,105,449,747 were subscribed in the form of shares and 252,566,350 shares in the form of GDRs, namely 5,051,327 GDRs).
Under the tender offer, the Fund repurchased 325,000,000 shares (264,555,900 in the form of shares and 60,444,100 shares in the form of GDRs, namely 1,208,882 GDRs) at a purchase price of RON 2.19 per share and the USD equivalent of RON 109.50 per GDR, computed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer Documentation. The shares' Trade Date was 27 June 2022, and the settlement/ payment date was 29 June 2022 for both shares and GDRs.
The daily execution of the thirteenth buy-back programme was resumed on 4 July 2022 on both BVB and LSE.
The Fund recognises the treasury shares (repurchases of own shares and GDRs) at trade date as a deduction from shareholders' equity (in an equity reserve account). Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost, including brokerage fees, distribution fees and other transaction costs directly related to their acquisition.
Upon completion of all legal and regulatory requirements, the treasury shares are cancelled and netted off against the share capital and / or other reserves. The details on the accounting treatment to be applied for the registration and cancellation of treasury shares can be found in the FSA Norm no. 39/2015, article 75.
A negative equity element arises upon cancelation of the shares acquired in a buy-back programme, where the acquisition price is higher than the nominal value, but this does not generate an additional shareholder's equity decrease. At the cancellation date, only a reallocation between the equity accounts is booked, without any impact on profit or loss and without generating additional shareholders' equity decrease (the decrease is recorded at share acquisition date).
Article 75 from Norm no. 39/2015 mentions that the negative balance arising on the cancellation of equity instruments may be covered from the retained earnings and other equity elements, in accordance with the resolution of the GSM. As at 30 September 2022, the Fund's equity elements that could be used to cover the negative reserve are sufficient and include retained earnings, reserves and share capital.
During the 20 April 2022 Annual GSM, the shareholders approved the coverage of the negative reserves related to the eleventh buy-back programme using the other reserves set up for this purpose as per the decision taken in the 2021 Annual GSM, in amount of RON 671,941,938.
The table below shows the movement of the negative reserves during the first nine months of 2022:

During the 20 April 2022 Annual GSM (Resolution 6/ 20 April 2022), the Fund's Sole Director proposed, and shareholders approved the cancellation of the 194,371,754 treasury shares repurchased within the twelfth buy-back programme, and also the allocation of RON 230,576,693 from the 2021 accounting profit to other reserves in order to be available for covering the related negative reserve.
The related negative reserve in amount of RON 230,576,693 (please see table above) would be recorded after the completion of all legal and regulatory steps related to the cancellation of shares, on 19 October 2022. The coverage of this negative reserve will be subject to shareholders' approval during the next Annual GSM.
Despite the economic recovery experienced in 2021, the outlook for 2022 has changed markedly as several risks have begun to materialize since the beginning of the year. Global economic risks have been continuously reassessed following the start of the war on Ukraine, with forecasts being adjusted downwards from previous levels, while inflationary pressure has intensified. At the same time, the uncertainty and restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic is decreasing, however supply chain disruptions and trade blockages continue to pose a challenge. These are also enhanced by the sanctions imposed on Russia and the reduction of transport capacity in Ukraine, considering that these countries have an important role in the production and global export of grains and raw materials, including natural gas and oil in the case of Russia.
According to IMF1 , global economic activity is experiencing a significant slowdown, with the highest inflation recorded in several decades. Global growth is expected to slow from 6.0% in 2021 to 3.2% in 2022 and to 2.7% in 2023, the weakest growth profile since 2001 except for the global financial crisis and the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For Romania, according to October 2022 World Economic Outlook published by IMF, the real GDP growth for 2021 was 5.9% and this is expected to decrease to 4.8% in 2022 and further to 3.1% to 20231 .
IMF projections from October 20221 forecast global inflation to reach 8.8% in 2022, up from the previous estimate of 6.6% in July. However, this is expected to decline to 6.5% in 2023 and to 4.1% by 2024. According to Eurostat, EU annual inflation rate was 10.9% in September 2022, up from 10.1% in August2 .
For Romania, according with National Statistics Institute the annual inflation rate in September 2022 is 15.9%3 .
According to the monthly BVB report4 for September 2022, the Romania capital market followed the trend of international stock markets and presented sharp declines in September, in the context of rising interest rates and increasing fears regarding the possibility of a recession in developed markets. The BET-TR index, which also includes dividends, decreased 10.5% in the first 9 months of 2022.

On 5 August 2022, the Board of the National Bank of Romania1 raised its key monetary policy rate by 0.75% to 5.5%, the seventh consecutive rate hike. This was further increased to 6.25% on 6 October 2022, pushing the borrowing costs to the highest since November 2011.
In August 2020, the Romanian Parliament enacted Law 173/2020 regarding certain measures for protecting national interest within the economic activity. The law entered into force on 16 August 2020, banning the sale of shareholdings owned by the Romanian state in national companies, banks, or other companies in which the state is a shareholder, irrespective of the ownership percentage, for the next two years. Ownership transfers that commenced before the entry into force of the law are suspended for a two-year term. On 5 October 2020, GEO no. 166/2020 entered into force, setting exceptions from Law 173/2020 by limiting the prohibition only with respect to shares held by the Romanian State. On 3 February 2021, the Government proposed for Parliament's approval a new draft law that repeals the requirements of Law 173/2020, which was adopted by the Senate on 22 March 2021. The draft law is still in Parliament for other legislative procedure. On 16 August 2022, the 2-year prohibition period provided by Law 173/2020 ended. Also, a new draft law was registered with the Senate on 30 June 2022 for amending the deadlines stipulated in Law 173/2020 (extending the prohibition until 13 August 2024) and for repealing the GEO no. 166/ 2020. The draft law is still in Parliament for legislative procedure.
During 2020, the Parliament approved several changes to the Water Law which entered into force on 16 July 2020. According to these changes, all owners of water installations that collect underground or surface waters are required to install water metering devices within 6 months calculated from 16 July 2020. Failure to comply with this requirement, even for well justified technical reasons, could lead to the obligation to pay the water contribution to ANAR at the level of the maximum authorised flow.
To calculate the water volume used by its hydropower plants to produce electricity, Hidroelectrica has been using an indirect calculation method based on the electricity volume produced by each hydro-unit. Hidroelectrica's management considers it is technically unfeasible to install standard water meters as required by law, given the size and the variety of technical specifications of its power plants.
The Romanian Government changed the Water Law starting with 31 December 2020, via GEO no. 225/2020, according to which by way of exception, in case of the non-existence/proven technical impossibility of mounting water metering devices, indirect metering methods are applied, by reporting the maximum authorized flow to the actual time of use for electricity production, the user having the obligation to communicate the data generated by compliant devices measuring the time of use.
Following the latest changes approved in December 2020, further amendments to Romanian Water Law are currently debated in Parliament, with a potential impact on the activity of Hidroelectrica. On 8 February 2021, the Senate, as first chamber discussing the amendments, approved a change that would allow Hidroelectrica to continue to use indirect methods for determining the water volumes, as before July 2020 (i.e. cancelling the effects of the changes in legislation adopted after July 2020). The law then moved to the Chamber of Deputies which was the decisional body. Here, it suffered unexpected changes brough by the Agricultural Commission, which included a flat-water contribution for hydropower producers of RON 33/ MWh. This would push Hidroelectrica's production costs, in an average hydrological year, to around RON 528 million from around RON 350 million based on the calculation system used until 2020, leading to an over 10% increase in Hidroelectrica's overall average production cost. The law is currently reassessed by the same Agricultural Committee in the Chamber of Deputies.
The entire legislative process involves several mandatory steps, and the final wording of the law cannot be predicted. The changes in legislation are estimated to be effective after the date of publication of this report. The Fund is monitoring the legislative process in Parliament, as well as Hidroelectrica's ongoing discussions with ANAR, in order to be able to assess any potential impact on the company.

The provisions in the FSA Regulation no. 20/2021 require that at least one member of the audit committee should have theoretical knowledge and practical and professional experience on the application of accounting principles and in financial audit (previously "... regarding the application of accounting principles or in financial audit"). In addition, the ASPAAS Order no. 123/28 April 2022 on the composition of the audit committee, published in the Official Gazette on 4 May 2022, provided in its initial form that: (i) at least one member of the audit committee must be a certified financial auditor and (ii) the qualification of financial auditor is proved by a document issued by the competent authority from Romania or from another Member State. On 13 September 2022, a new ASPAAS Order entered into force, Order no. 392/2022, providing that any person who has at least 3 years of experience in statutory audit acquired by participating in statutory audit missions in Romania, in another Member State, in an European Free Trade Association state, in Switzerland or in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or within audit committees formed at the level of administrative/ supervisory boards of some public interest companies, proven with documents, is also competent to be part of the audit committee.
GO no. 16/2022, published in the Official Gazette no. 716/15 July 2022, entails important amendments to the Romanian Fiscal Code. The ordinance includes among others, amendments on the dividend withholding tax regime, which will be impacting the Fund's distributions. The ordinance did not introduce the broadly discussed solidarity tax (the solidarity tax was thought as an additional tax obligation of 1% of the turnover, applicable to Romanian corporate entities with a turnover of over EUR 100 million).
Also, the draft law approving the GO 16/2022 was adopted by the Senate on 12 October 2022 and is still in Parliament for legislative procedure.
The GO 16/2022 will apply to dividends distributed after 1 January 2023 and will:
Shareholders will still be eligible to reduced withholding tax rates or withholding tax exemptions based on the provisions of Double Taxation Treaties conducted by Romania. Moreover, the current exception for shareholders holding over 10% of the share capital of the paying entity, for an uninterrupted period of 1 year, will remain in place.
GEO 102/2022, published in the Romanian Official Gazette no. 654/30 June 2022, entails amendments to the FATCA and CRS reporting. The GEO 102/2022 mentions that specific guidelines and administrative tax procedures will be published by ANAF within 150 days, respectively 90 days from the date of publication of this ordinance.
The most important provisions introduced by the GEO 102/2022 are summarized below:

(xv) expenses relating to printing costs for the Fund's documentation;
The Fund does not incur any expenses related to distribution or advertising within the meaning of art. 49 of the FSA Regulation 7/2020.
All costs and expenses incurred by the AIFM in the performance of its functions shall not be for the account of the Fund but shall be borne by the AIFM.
The AIFM shall be liable for the following out of pocket expenses incurred by it when performing its duties, including, but not limited to:
In performing its obligations under the Management Agreement, the AIFM shall not use Soft Dollar Practices (i.e., arrangements under which assets or services, other than execution of securities transactions, are obtained by a fund manager from or through a broker in exchange for the fund manager directing to the respective broker trades concluded on behalf of the undertaking for collective investment managed by that fund manager). All transactions in connection to the portfolio shall be consistent with the principle of best execution.
The key performance indicator of the Fund is its Net Asset Value. The Fund is required to publish a monthly net asset value per share in accordance with the local rules issued by the capital market regulator, no later than 15 calendar days after the reporting month end and after the dates when share capital changes are recorded within Trade Register.
All NAV reports are published on the Fund's website, www.fondulproprietatea.ro, together with the share price and discount/ premium information.
Starting with 28 January 2022, the date when the Fund's registration process as an AIF with the FSA was finalised, the Fund started to apply the Romanian AIF Law (Law 243/2019) and AIF Regulation (Regulation 7/2020).
Listed securities are valued either at closing market prices if listed on regulated markets, or at reference prices if listed on an ATS. Illiquid and unlisted securities are valued using the fair value determined either by reference to published prices on the stock exchange where shares are traded (listed securities) or assessed using valuation techniques in accordance with International Valuation Standards. The holdings in the companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, judicial reorganisation or which ceased their activity are valued at zero.
The treasury shares acquired through buy-backs are excluded from the number of shares used in the NAV per share computation. Due to the fact that in substance the Fund's GDRs are similar to the ordinary shares to which they correspond, in the computation of the number of shares used for the NAV per share calculation, the equivalent number of shares corresponding to the GDRs bought back and held by the Fund as at the NAV reporting date is also deducted, together with the number of ordinary own shares bought back and held.
The following chart shows information on the monthly published NAVs per share for the period 31 December 2021 to 30 September 2022:


During the first quarter of 2022, the NAV per share had an increase of 3.7% compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the increase in valuation of the unlisted holding Hidroelectrica SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 1,396.45 million or RON 0.2385 per share), netted off by the dilution in NAV/ share resulted from the Ministry of Finance's payment for the unpaid shares during February 2022.

On 1 February 2022, the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Finance paid RON 189,182,422 to the Fund, as payment for all unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State in the Fund (as at 31 December 2021, the Romanian State held 363,812,350 unpaid shares, each share having a nominal value of RON 0.52). Consequently, following this payment, starting with 1 February 2022, the new value of the Fund's subscribed and paid-up share capital is RON 3,334,342,422.84 (divided into 6,412,196,967 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.52 per share), so the number of shares used in the calculation of the NAV increased.
During the second quarter of 2022, the NAV per share had an overall increase of 18.5% compared to the end of the first quarter, mainly due to the (1) dividends recorded from portfolio companies (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 856.0 million), (2) the valuation update of the unlisted holdings in the portfolio (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 2,457.8 million compared with 31 March 2022), and (3) the thirteen-buyback programme carried out by the Fund during this period, including the TO.
In April 2022, based on the most recent financial information, the most recent comparable trading multiple for EBITDA and the most recent estimated DLOM from KPMG, the Fund performed an update of the valuation for Hidroelectrica SA. The total impact was an increase in Hidroelectrica's value by 13.3% / RON 1,446.0 million compared to the 31 March 2022 NAV.

During the third quarter of 2022, the NAV per share had an overall decrease of 3.2% compared to the end of the second quarter, mainly due to the valuation update of the unlisted holdings in the portfolio (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 602.8 million compared with 30 June 2022), net off by the thirteen-buyback programme carried out by the Fund during this period.
In September 2022, based on the most recent comparable trading multiple for EBITDA obtained with the assistance of KPMG, the Fund performed an update of the valuation for Engie and E-Distributie companies (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 158.5 million compared with 30 June 2022). Also, the Fund prepared an updated valuation report in accordance with the International Valuation Standards for Hidroelectrica SA, with the assistance of KPMG (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 444.3 million compared with 30 June 2022). The valuation date for the updated report was 30 September 2022 (date for the market multiples) and was based on financial data of the company as at 31 July 2022.

During this volatile and uncertain period, the Fund will continue to closely monitor the evolution of financial markets and that of the specific industries the unlisted holdings operate in, and for each NAV reporting date will assess if an updated valuation is required.
The Fund's investment objective is the maximization of returns to shareholders and the increase of the net asset value per share via investments mainly in Romanian equities and equity-linked securities. The equity exposure amounted to 98% of the Fund's NAV as at 30 September 2022. As at that date, the portfolio was composed of holdings in 33 companies (6 listed and 27 unlisted), a combination of privately held and state-controlled entities.

Net cash and receivables include bank deposits, current bank accounts, as well as other receivables and assets, net of all liabilities (including liabilities to shareholders related to dividend distributions).

On 20 January 2022, the Fund announced the agreement to sell 2,275,000,000 ordinary shares held by the Fund in OMV Petrom SA, following the completion of an accelerated bookbuild offering. The share selling price was RON 0.43 per share.
Erste Group Bank AG and SSIF Swiss Capital SA acted as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners, and Banca Comerciala Romana SA and Auerbach Grayson and Company LLC acted as Joint Bookrunners for the transaction.
On 12 December 2021, the Fund subscribed to the share capital increase of Hidroelectrica SA with a cash contribution of RON 23,970, which was effective on 6 May 2022, at the registration date with the Romanian Trade Register.
CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti called a GSM that took place on 25 October 2021 through the convening notice published in the Official Gazette of Romania Part IV no. 3873/20.09.2021, for the approval of a share capital increase with the land inside Baneasa airport, brought as Romanian State's contribution in kind to the company's capital. The initial proposed value for the share capital increase was RON 3,814,809,171. This is the third time the share capital increase process is initiated since 2001, when Baneasa Airport received the land ownership certificates.
On 26 October 2021 (the second calling for the shareholders' meeting) the share capital increase was approved with only the Romanian State voting in favour, as follows:
Fondul Proprietatea expressed its opinion, strongly disputing the fundamentally flawed land valuation report, as the land valuation report carried out in 2021 attributes a very high value to the land, despite a previously approved valuation report from 2017, which had set the value of the same land at RON 269 million.
Fondul Proprietatea started court cases for the annulment of the shareholders' resolution, and for the suspension of the entire process until the claim for annulment case is irrevocably closed, to protect the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
Following the hearing that took place on 13 January 2022, the Bucharest Court of Appeal admitted the request of suspension filed by the Fund and ordered the suspension of the effects of the increase until the claim for the annulment of the GSM is irrevocably settled.
Regarding the Fund's request for intervention, following the hearing on 11 February 2022, the Court approved the suspension of this file until the claim for annulment is irrevocably settled.
This is likely to increase the duration of the legal proceedings by more than 1 year and, as such, the capital increase will not take place (under Romanian Law, the term for finalizing such a capital increase is of one year starting with the publication of the GSM decision in the Official Gazette). Consequently, the Fund Manager assessed the dilution risk not to be significant and no adjustment was considered in the valuation process of the company for this risk.
In addition, the claim for annulment is not expected to be irrevocably settled during 2022. The first hearing for the annulment case was held on 10 March 2022, but it was postponed and the next hearing was set for 9 March 2023.
On 9 February 2022, during the CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime's GSM, the majority shareholder approved the increase of the share capital from RON 132,906,430 to RON 323,311,340, respectively with the amount of RON 190,404,910, through incorporation of part of reserves. The Fund maintained its stake holding, as new shares issued were distributed proportionally to existing shareholders. As at the date of issuing this report, the Fund held 6,466,226 shares, representing 20% of the company's share capital. However, the Fund decided to challenge in Court the validity of the GSM which approved the share capital increase, and the case is ongoing.
During the 27 April 2022 EGM, the company's shareholders approved the share capital increase of OMV Petrom SA with the in-kind contribution of the Romania State, as a result of obtaining a number of 1,944 land ownership certificates. Darian DRS SA was approved as independent valuer to value the land plots for the in-kind contribution.
On 21 June 2022, the Supervisory Board of the company approved the share capital increase under the following structure: RON 120,660,239.20 in exchange of 1,206,602,392 new shares, representing the in-kind contribution of the Romanian State, through the Ministry of Energy, and up to a maximum of RON 463,966,423.40, representing a maximum number of 4,639,664,234 new shares, to be offered for subscription, within the exercise of their preference right, to the other shareholders (except the Romanian State).
After the end of the subscription period the company published the results: 96.1% of the total 4,639,664,234 new shares offered for subscription were subscribed by the holders of preference rights, including the Fund.
For more details regarding the completion of the share capital increase process, please see section Subsequent events.
During the 21 June 2022 EGM, the company's shareholders approved a capital decrease of 1,542,083 shares from 7,542,083 shares to 6,000,000 shares in order to partially cover the company's accumulated accounting losses of RON 75,420,830 (amount at the date of the GSM). As such, the cumulated losses would decrease by RON 15,420,830. The share capital decrease was finalised on 16 September 2022, the date of registration with the Trade Register.
On 22 October 2021 during the GSM of CE Oltenia, shareholders approved the partial coverage of the accumulated accounting losses registered by the company as at 31 December 2020, proportionally by all shareholders of the company. The accounting losses in amount of RON 1 billion would be covered by reducing the share capital from RON 1,270,318,090 to RON 270,318,090, respectively from 127,031,809 shares to
27,031,809 shares, with a nominal value of RON 10.00 each. The share capital decrease operation is effective starting with 19 January 2022, the registration with the Romanian Trade Register. Following the share capital decrease operation, the Fund maintains its 21.559% stake holding, but the number of shares decreased from 27,031,809 shares to 5,828,033 shares, with a total nominal value of RON 58,280,330.
On 25 November 2021 during the GSM of CE Oltenia, the majority shareholder voted for the approval to start the operation to increase the share capital of the company with the value of the lands for which property rights certificates were obtained and to request the Trade Register Office for the appointment of one or more experts to evaluate these assets. The plots of land subject to the share capital increase will be used by the company to develop the new investments according to the commitments assumed through the Restructuring Plan.
In January 2022, The European Commission approved Romania's plan to grant CE Oltenia a restructuring aid for up to EUR 2.66 billion (RON 13.15 billion). The measure will enable the company to finance its Restructuring Plan and restore its long-term viability. The implementation of the Restructuring Plan will lead to the need to operate capital increases, both in cash as well as with the value of lands that will be used by CE Oltenia to develop the new investments alongside co-investors (photovoltaic power plants and gas fired power plants).
The implementation of the Restructuring Plan also led to a symmetrical spin-off of Craiova II Power Plant Branch from CE Oltenia (the initiation of the process was approved by shareholders during the 26 August 2021 GSM). The carve-out project uses as cut-off date the financial statements of CE Oltenia as of 31 December 2021 and implies a symmetrical spin-off by way of transferring the assets and liabilities related to Craiova II Power Plant Branch to a newly established company which shall mirror percentage wise the current shareholding structure of CE Oltenia and will have a share capital of RON 23,829,130 (FP's stake of 21.559%, respectively 513,754 shares). As a result of the spin-off, the Fund's number of shares in CE Oltenia will be decreased with its corresponding shares in Craiova II, respectively from 5,828,033 to 5,314,279 shares, however maintaining its 21.559% stake holding.
Shareholders approved the spin-off process and related actions in the GSM as of 18 August 2022. The registration with Trade Registry of the newly set-up entity and correspondent decrease of the share capital of CE Oltenia have been performed on 30 September 2022.
Assuming Fondul Proprietatea will not participate in these capital increases, the participation of the Fund in CE Oltenia will be diluted at approximately 5% based on the Fund's current estimates. To carry out the share capital increase with the value of the lands that will be contributed by CE Oltenia in the new investments, a change in the current legislation would be needed so that the valuations of all the lands with which the capital increase would be carried out can be realized at fair value.
On 31 March 2022, the GSM of Hidroelectrica approved the initiation of the listing process on BVB following a public offering of the company's shares held by the Fund.
The approval is a positive development as it allows the Fund to explore, together with the deal advisors, a wider array of options with regards to a potential realization of all or part of its holding in the company.
Hidroelectrica will use in the IPO process the legal advisor Dentons Europe – Zizzi – Caradja & Associates and the equity advisor STJ Advisors it has already selected in connection with the initial listing plan.
The Fund appointed Rothschild & Co as its Equity advisor and Filip & Company and Linklaters LLP as legal advisers for the transaction.
On 8 September 2022 the Fund informed the shareholders that the Fund and Hidroelectrica selected the consortium of investment banks in relation to the IPO, which is composed of reputable international, regional and local investment banks.
The Fund and Hidroelectrica continue to prepare for an IPO during 2023. The Romanian State committed in PNRR to the listing of Hidroelectrica by the end of H1 2023. The Fund's shareholders are requested to approve the sale of the shares held by FP in Hidroelectrica SA during the GSM convened for 15 November 2022.
On 5 July 2021, the GSM of Salrom approved in principle the listing of the company on the BVB, through a public offering of the company's shares held by the Fund.
Based on a competitive selection process, Fondul Proprietatea has appointed the Investment Bank (BRD – Groupe Société Générale) and the legal advisor (Dentons Europe – Zizzi – Caradja & Associates) that will be involved in preparing the Prospectus and the listing of Salrom on BVB.
The approval is a positive development as it allows the Fund to explore its options with regards to a potential realization of all or part of its holding in the company.
On 27 July 2022, the Government approved a Memorandum supporting the listing of Salrom by a public offering of the company's shares held by the Fund, which is a key milestone in the listing process.
The next steps will be the appointment of additional consultants (auditor, counsel of Salrom, mineral resources advisor) as well as due diligence/ prospectus drafting. The Fund and Salrom continue to prepare for an IPO during 2023.
Starting with the second semester of 2021, the companies are struggling with a crisis that hit the entire energy sector following the increase of the electricity prices, as well as due to the enactment of legislative changes which introduce a governmental scheme to support the electricity and natural gas for final consumers until 31 March 2023. In December 2021 and March 2022, the board of directors of the 2 companies approved to contract from banks a bridge-financing program amounting to EUR 235 million for Enel Energie and EUR 255 million for Enel Energie Muntenia, respectively, to cover the financing needs. In August 2022, given that the financing needs have increased and the banks with whom the companies already concluded financial agreements could not positively respond in a timely manner, management identified a solution to be urgently implemented, namely a shareholder loan from the financing arm of Enel Group – Enel Finance International N.V. amounting to EUR 250 million for Enel Energie and EUR 125 million for Enel Energie Muntenia.
GEO no. 108/2022 related to the decarbonisation of the energy market, which entered into force on 1 July 2022, foresees gradual shutdown of the lignite and coal power plants by 2030, while allowing for temporary closure postponement in case of an energy crisis.
Law no. 206/2022 for approving the GEO no. 27/2022 on measures applicable to end customers in the electricity and natural gas market during the period 1 April 2022 - 31 March 2023 entered into force on 14 July 2022. The new legislation provides further clarifications on the deadlines and requirements for energy market participants.
GEO no. 112/2022 regarding the establishment of measures to stimulate investments with financing from nonreimbursable external funds in the field of energy efficiency, renewable energy resources for large enterprises and SMEs, green energy from renewable sources intended for local public authorities, as well as some measures in the field of intelligent specialization, entered into force on 18 July 2022, repealing provision of Article 15(5) of GEO no. 27/2022 which excluded the quantities of electricity sold by electricity producers from the additional income made by electricity producers on which the windfall tax is applied.
GEO no. 119/2022 extends the timeline for the windfall tax (100% of the monthly additional revenues as contribution to the Fund for Energy Transition) until 31 August 2023. The monthly additional revenues are calculated based on the average realized price above RON 450/ MWh multiplied by the volume of electricity sold. In the computation of the average price, certain expenses are subtracted from revenues (e.g. costs with electricity purchased in the market, costs with carbon allowances, grid access costs, financing costs).
The updated windfall tax methodology applies retroactively on the windfall tax due to be paid under the provisions of Law 259/2021. Also, under the initial form of GEO no 27/ 2022 electricity delivered to grid operator and power
distributors with the aim of covering grid losses was excluded from the windfall tax. However, this exemption was eliminated following the enactment of GEO no. 112/2022.
Electricity and natural gas producing entities, aggregated electricity producing entities, electricity and natural gas traders, electricity and natural gas suppliers and independent electricity aggregators will have the obligation to pay a contribution to the Fund for Energy Transition for trading activities. Based on the formula for calculating the contribution to the Fund for Energy Transition, the profit resulting from trading activities is capped at 2%.
The GEO 27/2022 approving the support scheme for gas and power was further amended through GEO no. 119/2022, as detailed below.
End consumer energy prices are capped until 31 August 2023, as follows:
| Electricity supply | Invoiced price (VAT included) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Households (consumption less than 100 KWh per month) | 0.68 RON/ KWh | ||
| Households (consumption less than 255 KWh per month) | 0.8 RON/ KWh | ||
| Non-household consumers* | 1.0 RON/ KWh | ||
| Gas supply | Invoiced price (VAT included) | ||
| Households | 0.31 RON/ KWh | ||
| Non-household consumers** | 0.37 RON/ KWh |
Source: GEO 119/2022
*SMEs, consumer goods, education, healthcare, social services. Cap applies to 85% of average monthly consumption in 2021.
**consumption of 50 GWh/annum or heating producers
Supply component is capped at RON 73/ MWh for power and RON 12/ MWh for natural gas respectively, with the component 10% higher for suppliers of last resort.
Suppliers would be reimbursed from the State Budget and settlement of the subsidies paid by the State for the cold season will begin after 31 March 2022. According to GEO no. 119/ 2022, the maximum weighted average price of electricity used by ANRE to calculate the amounts compensated from the State Budget and paid to electricity suppliers is RON 1,300 / MWh.
Also, Law no. 206/2022 for approving the GEO no. 27/2022 and subsequently GEO no. 112/2022 introduced certain subsequent adjustments in the implementation of price caps at the level of end-consumers.
Gas producers will be required to sell to suppliers at RON 150/MWh to cover household consumption and heating suppliers/ producers. For the household and heating producers' volumes, the producers will be exempt from the payment of the windfall tax.
Supply component of the invoiced price is capped at RON 12/MWh for natural gas. ANRE will apply a fine of 5% of net sales for traders and suppliers engaged in speculative trading of power and natural gas. The provisions apply between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023.
Natural gas producers are required to provide natural gas at demand to the transport operator (Transgaz)/ natural gas distribution operators within 5 days (in full or partially).
On 11 November 2022 through GEO no. 153/2022 the Government introduced the centralized electricity acquisition mechanism at the regulated price of RON 450/MWh from 1 January 2023 until 31 March 2025. For more details, please see section Subsequent events.
Government issued GEO no. 138/2022 amending GEO no. 119/2022 by temporary introducing the requirement to conclude bilateral contracts, within the limits of available quantities, giving priority to traders/ suppliers appointed by to the Government of the Republic of Moldova at a set price of RON 450/MWh.
According to the provisions of GEO no. 119/2022 which entered into force on 1 September 2022, for licensed economic operators, providers of electricity and natural gas transport and distribution services, the additional costs of purchasing electricity and natural gas, made between 1 January 2022 and 31 August 2023, in order to cover own technological consumption and, respectively, technological consumption, compared to the costs included in the regulated tariffs, are capitalized quarterly. The capitalized costs are recognized in the regulated tariffs in compliance with the cost recognition criteria provided in the ANRE methodologies.
Capitalized costs shall be amortized over a period of 5 years from the date of capitalization and are remunerated with 50% of the RRR approved by the ANRE, applicable during the amortization period of the respective costs and recognized as a distinct component. The resulting assets are recognized in the accounting records and in the annual financial statements of the distribution operators, according to the instructions developed by the Ministry of Finance.
On 19 October 2022, ANRE's methodology for capitalizing the cost difference related to the own technological consumption for the period 2022-2023 was published in the Official Gazette.
According to the ANRE orders, the specific electricity distribution tariffs for the companies in the Fund's portfolio operating in power distribution sector, applicable starting with 1 April 2022, compared to those applicable starting 1 January 2022 and 1 January 2021, are the following:
| Company | Voltage level | Tariffs applicable starting 1 Jan 2021 (RON/MWh) |

According to ANRE Order no. 1/ 20 January 2021 and Order no. 3/ 20 January 2021, starting with 1 February 2021, the regulator allows, until the 4th regulatory period ends (2019 - 2023), for electricity and gas distribution companies the following:
The EU's Regulation on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment (the 'Taxonomy Regulation') was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 22 June 2020 and entered into force starting with 1 January 2022 in respect of climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation and with 1 January 2023 for provisions in respect of sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, transition to a circular economy, pollution prevention and control, and protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
Given the range of interpretations by different Member States as to what counts as a 'sustainable' investment, the European Commission considered that a common taxonomy was needed.
The Taxonomy Regulation establishes a classification system (or taxonomy) which provides businesses with a common language to identify whether a given economic activity should be considered "environmentally sustainable". This, then, allows it to be determined how far an investment is environmentally sustainable, or 'green'.
The investments underlying Fondul Proprietatea do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities, including enabling or transitional activities, within the meaning of the Taxonomy Regulation.
As per currently available information from the grid operator, national electricity consumption decreased by 8% y.o.y. in Q3 2022, while national production decreased by 4%. Romania was a net power importer in Q3 2022, as in Q3 2021.
As per OMV Petrom's estimates, national gas consumption significantly decreased by approximately 17% compared to Q3 2021, end-users' consumption being severely impacted by increasing prices. On the Romanian centralized markets, the weighted average price of natural gas for transactions with medium and long-term standardized products concluded in Q3 2022, irrespective of delivery period was RON 917/MWh (Q3 2021: RON 217/MWh). The average price for the quantities delivered during the quarter was RON 558/MWh (Q3 2021: RON 112/MWh). Regarding short-term deliveries, on BRM day-ahead market, the average price in Q3 2022 was RON 848/MWh (Q3 2021: RON 221/MWh).

On 31 March 2022 shareholders approved the initiation of the listing of the company's shares on the BVB following a secondary public offering of the company's shares held by the Fund.
During April 2022 GSMs, shareholders approved:
Shareholders approved in October 2022 the initiation of the selection process for the members of the Supervisory Board in accordance with the provisions of GEO no. 109/2011. The selection process will be conducted by the Ministry of Energy with the assistance of an independent HR recruitment specialist. The 4-year mandate of all the seven members of the current Supervisory Board is expiring on 5 February 2023.
Following a court case initiated by one natural person in 2020, the Bucharest Court annulled, in April 2022, the recruitment procedure and the selection process that was carried out by the company during 10 April 2019 – 4 June 2019 period, for the selection of the 5 members of the Directorate. According to the decision, the company is obliged to issue a new decision for a new recruitment process. The decision is not final and can be appealed by the company, which the company publicly announced it would do.
According to management, Hidroelectrica is aiming to publish by end of year 2022 its first separate Sustainability Report prepared in accordance with GRI Standards. Also, in line with best practices, the company is also in the process of reviewing its sustainability strategy and objectives in its focus areas, in the context of its over-all business and development strategy. Up until now, Hidroelectrica has been publishing its non-financial statement, in line with the requirements of the EU Directive 2014/95/EU and the Romanian Ministry of Finance Order no. 1938/ 2016 and Order no. 2844/ 2016.

Financial year 2021 traffic was 6.9 million passengers, in line with the approved budget, and down by 53% vs pre-Covid levels. Management expects traffic to go up by 40% y.o.y in 2022, to 9.7 million passengers, and thus envisages a net profit of RON 56.5 million.
In the first 6 months of 2022 the financial results improved significantly on the back of traffic recovery. Number of passengers transiting the terminals reached 5.44 million, 2.8 times higher y.o.y., and 21% below pre-Covid levels.
Traffic in Q3 2022 reached the seasonal peak in August, at 1.4 million passengers per month. Thus, cumulated traffic in the first 9 months of 2022 continued the recovery trend to 9.4 million passengers, just 17% below precovid levels, and almost double y.o.y.
In July the Board appointed a new interim General Manager, Mr Sorin Radu Paun.

Consolidated sales revenues increased by 45% y.o.y. in Q1 2022, mainly supported by higher commodity prices and higher sales volumes of petroleum products and electricity. The Clean CCS Operating Result of RON 2,241 million in Q1 2022 was significantly higher than RON 653 million in Q1 2021, due to much higher contribution of all business segments mainly following the increase in prices in Exploration and Production segment, strong margins on gas from storage and third-party transaction in the Gas and Power segment and significantly higher refining margins in the Refining and Marketing segment.
Profitability continued to improve in Q2 2022, reaching a net profit of RON 3 billion, as market prices favoured all business segments. Consolidated sales revenues increased by 160% y.o.y., mainly supported by higher commodity prices and higher sales volumes of petroleum products and electricity. Significantly higher refining margins in the Refining and Marketing segment as well as strong margins on gas from third party transactions and higher power margin in the Gas and Power segment supported a Clean CCS Operating Result of RON 3,660 million, which quadrupled y.o.y. Special items comprised net charges of RON 450 million largely consisting of net temporary losses from power forward contracts in the Gas and Power segment.
Consolidated sales revenues increased by 170% y.o.y. in Q3 2022 to RON 18,667 million, mainly supported by higher commodity prices and higher sales volumes of electricity, partly compensated by lower sales volumes of natural gas. The Clean CCS Operating Result of RON 4,230 million was more than 3x higher y.o.y., due to much stronger margins on all business segments. Special items comprised net income of RON 1,115 million, driven mainly by the net temporary effects from forward power contracts in the Gas and Power segment. Thus, the net income attributable to shareholders reached RON 4,510 million, 5x higher y.o.y.
During the April 2022 GSM, the shareholders approved:
In June, the Executive Board approved the share capital increase with an in-kind contribution from the State valued at RON 120.6 million, in line with the initial guidance from April. Board also proposed a special dividend of RON 0.045 per share.
During the July GSM, shareholders approved special dividend of RON 0.045 per share, paid in September.

In 2021 the traffic reached an all-time high of 67,5 million tons of merchandise.
H1 2022 results evince a rather flattish performance, as an almost symmetrical increase in revenues and costs. The increase in costs is mainly due to higher utilities costs, which are mostly passed through to the operators. Total traffic increased by 17% y.o.y. to 37.5 million tons, on the back higher volumes of crude oil, petroleum products, cereals, and iron-ore. Almost half of the incremental increase in volumes of 5.4 million tons was linked to Ukraine. However, increased revenues from services rendered to ships were eroded by a decline in rental revenues, due to the expiration of a beneficial clause for one of the largest clients.
In August, Mr Florin Vizan was appointed as interim General Manager.
In May GSM, the shareholders approved the management proposal of a total dividend of RON 33.3 million, out of which RON 6.6 million was paid to the Fund.
CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime SA does not publish sustainability reports.
As the war in Ukraine broke out in late February, naval shipments to the neighbouring country were practically blocked. According to the management of Constanta Port, volumes from Ukraine increased from 0.15 million tons in H1 2021 to 2.5 million tons in H1 2022.

The cash and cash equivalents (liquid assets) of the Fund during the first nine months of 2022 included term deposits with banks, and T-bills and government bonds issued by the Ministry of Public Finance of Romania. All instruments are denominated in RON and have maturities of up to one year.
The liquid assets decreased by 27.3% during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022. Most important outflows relate to the dividends paid net of withholding tax (RON 1,069.3 million) and the amounts paid for the acquisition of treasury shares (RON 1,037.6 million), partially offset by the proceeds from disposal of shares in OMV Petrom SA (RON 997.1 million) and net dividends received (RON 928.2 million).
Payables and Other liabilities have decreased compared to 31 December 2021 mainly due to the payments made during the period in respect of the dividend distribution with payment date 18 February 2022, to shareholders and State budget for the related withholding tax.
The net increase in equity investments of RON 2,546.9 million during the first nine months of 2022 was mainly generated by the increase in the fair value of Hidroelectrica SA (RON 3,074.6 million); this was partially offset by the decrease in the fair value of OMV Petrom SA (RON 133.5 million), Engie Romania SA (RON 123.2 million) and E-Distributie companies (RON 275.6 million) and the disposal of OMV Petrom SA shares in Q3 2022 (RON 20.1 million).

The net unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the first nine months of 2022 of RON 2,567.1 million was mainly generated by the increase in the fair value of unlisted portfolio holding Hidroelectrica SA (RON 3,074.6 million increase) partially offset by the decrease in the fair value of the holdings in Engie Romania SA (RON 123.2 million), E-Distributie companies (RON 275.6 million) and OMV Petrom SA (RON 133.5 million).
Gross dividend income for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 included the dividend income earned from the Fund's portfolio companies, mainly from Hidroelectrica SA (RON 764.0 million) and OMV Petrom SA (RON 133.6 million).
Net gain/ (loss) from other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 is mainly related to the collection of all unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State - Ministry of Finance (RON 189.2 million). At 31 December 2021, the fair value of the receivable was zero. The caption also includes the net unrealized gain from the change in fair value of the preferential rights linked to the share capital increase of OMV Petrom SA (RON 55.4 million).
Net realised loss from non-current assets held for sale for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 is related to the disposal of 2,275,000,000 shares in OMV Petrom SA through an accelerated bookbuild offering.
Interest income arose from deposits held with banks and from short-term government securities.

Following the FSA Endorsement no. 146/29 September 2022, the decrease of the Fund's subscribed and paid-up share capital from RON 3,334,342,422.84 to RON 3,233,269,110.76 pursuant to the cancellation of 194,371,754 own shares acquired by Fondul Proprietatea during 2021, as approved by the Fund's EGM Resolution no. 1/ 20 April 2022, is effective starting with 19 October 2022, when the Trade Registry registered the EGM Resolution mentioned above. Consequently, as of 19 October 2022, the new value of the Fund's subscribed and paid-up share capital is RON 3,233,269,110.76, divided into 6,217,825,213 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.52/share. As a result of the decrease mentioned above the new GDR facility limit of one third of the Fund's share capital is 41,452,168 GDRs (2,072,608,400 shares equivalent).
On 3 November 2022 the Board of OMV Petrom announced the completion of the share capital increase approved in April. OMV Petrom's share capital was increased by in-kind and cash contribution, with the value of RON 566,755,872.3, from RON 5,664,410,833.50 to RON 6,231,166,705.80, through the issue of 5,667,558,723 new ordinary nominative shares as follows:
The Fund subscribed and received 174,275,887 new shares, at a price of RON 0.1 per share.
Management called an EGM on 8 December 2022 to approve a share capital increase of RON 1.3 million, through the issuing of 132,200 new shares at a nominal value of RON 10/share. The management also mentions there could be a second share capital increase proposal next year, of up to RON 28.7 million, which would be used to finance an investment project. Since the current share capital of the company is RON 1.6 million, assuming that Fondul Proprietatea will not participate in these capital increases, the participation of the Fund in the company could be significantly diluted.
Through GEO no. 153/2022, adopted on 11 November 2022 the Government introduced from 1 January 2023 until 31 March 2025 the centralized electricity acquisition mechanism at the regulated price of RON 450/MWh. According to the ordinance, the electricity producers in scope of the regulation would have to sell based on an annual and monthly centralized acquisition mechanism the available production to the electricity and natural gas market operator OPCOM SA at the above-mentioned regulated price. In the same time, OPCOM would sell at the same price of RON 450/MWh the electricity purchased through the centralised acquisition mechanism to the supply companies who have end-consumer portfolios and to the electricity transport operator Transelectrica and to the electricity distribution operators for covering their grid losses. The electricity producers from renewable sources benefiting from support schemes such as wind and solar, the cogeneration plants and the production capacities commissioned after 1 April 2022 are exempted from the obligation to sell to OPCOM.

Fondul Proprietatea SA (referred to as "Fondul Proprietatea" or "the Fund") was incorporated as a joint stock company, undertaking for collective investment, in the form of a closed end investment company, on the basis of Law no. 247/2005 on the reform in the field of property and justice and other adjacent measures, as subsequently amended ("Law 247/2005") and registered in Bucharest on 28 December 2005. The address of the Fund's registered office is 76 - 80, Buzeşti Street, 7th Floor, District 1, Bucharest.
Starting 1 April 2016, Fondul Proprietatea is an alternative investment fund as defined by the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive and by the Romanian legislation. On 28 January 2022, the Financial Supervisory Authority authorized Fondul Proprietatea as a closed-end Alternative Investment Fund designed for retail investors, with BRD Groupe Société Générale as depositary.
The Fund undertakes its activities in accordance with Law 24/2017 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations, Law 74/2015 regarding Alternative Investment Fund Managers, Law 247/2005, Law 297/2004 regarding the capital market, as subsequently amended, Law 243/2019 regulating the alternative investment funds and amending and supplementing certain normative acts and Companies Law 31/1990 republished as subsequently amended and it is an entity authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA, as an issuer. In accordance with its Constitutive Act, the main activity of the Fund is the management and administration of its portfolio.
The Fund was initially established to allow the payment in shares equivalent of the compensation due in respect of abusive expropriations undertaken by the Romanian State during the communist period, when properties were not returned in kind. Beginning with 15 March 2013, the compensation process was suspended and starting January 2015, the Romanian State decided to use a different compensation scheme that no longer involves the payment in Fondul Proprietatea shares equivalent.
Starting with 1 April 2016 the Fund is managed by Franklin Templeton International Services S.à r.l. ("FTIS") as its Sole Director and Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") under the Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and local implementation regulations. The FTIS mandate is for a period of two years and the current mandate was approved during 29 September 2021 shareholders' meeting for the period 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2024. The related contractual terms along with the execution of the Management Agreement were approved by the Fund's shareholders during 15 December 2021 shareholders' meeting.
Starting with 1 December 2020, the portfolio management and the administrative activities previously delegated to Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited United Kingdom, Bucharest Branch are performed by FTIS through its Bucharest Branch.
Since 25 January 2011, Fondul Proprietatea has been a listed company on the spot regulated market managed by the Bucharest Stock Exchange in Tier I Shares of the Equity Sector of the market, under ISIN number ROFPTAACNOR5 with the market symbol "FP".
Since 29 April 2015, the Fund's Global Depositary Receipts ("GDR") have been listed on the London Stock Exchange – Specialist Fund Market, under ISIN number US34460G1067, with the market symbol "FP.". The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed by the Fund to act as depositary bank in relation to the GDR facility. The GDR facility is limited to one-third of the Fund's subscribed share capital under the Romanian securities regulations, each GDR representing 50 shares, and the currency of the GDRs is the US dollar.
These condensed interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 are not audited.
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
These condensed interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting and applying the FSA Norm 39/2015. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, prepared in accordance with IFRS. These condensed interim financial statements are available starting with 15 November 2022, on the Fund's official webpage, www.fondulproprietatea.ro, and at the Fund's registered office.
The Fund is an investment entity and does not consolidate its subsidiaries as it applies IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (Investment Entities). In consequence, the Fund does not prepare consolidated financial statements, the separate financial statements being the Fund's only financial statements. The Fund has reassessed the criteria for being an investment entity for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 and continues to meet them.
In determining whether the Fund meets the criteria from the definition of an investment entity, the management considered the investments portfolio structure and the Fund's investment objective. Aspects considered in making this judgement were the fact that the Fund has more than one investment, more investors neither of which are related parties of the Fund and the ownership interests from its portfolio are in the form of equity. The Fund's investment objective is also a typical one for an investment entity, respectively the maximization of returns to shareholders and the increase of the net asset value per share via investments in Romanian equities and equity-linked securities. The Fund's management analysis considered also other relevant factors, including the fact that almost all Fund's investments are accounted for using the fair value model.
The Fund's Sole Director has, at the authorisation date of these condensed interim financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Fund has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, it continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
According with the Fund's constitutive act, the duration of Fondul Proprietatea is until 31 December 2031 and it may be extended by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, with additional periods of 5 years.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a fair value basis for the main part of the Fund's assets (equity investments, treasury bills and government bonds, respectively), and on the historical cost or amortised cost basis for the rest of the items included in the financial statements.
These condensed interim financial statements are prepared and presented in Romanian Lei (RON), which is the Fund's functional and presentation currency. All financial information presented in RON has been rounded to the nearest unit.
Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency of the Fund at the exchange rate valid at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate valid at that date. Non monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction and are not subsequently remeasured.
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
The exchange rates of the main foreign currencies, published by the National Bank of Romania at 30 September 2022 were as follows: 4.9490 RON/EUR, 5.0469 RON/USD and 5.6367 RON/GBP (30 September 2021: 4.9471 RON/EUR, 4.2653 RON/USD and 5.7431 RON/GBP).
The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information and critical judgements in applying accounting policies with significant areas of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant impact on the amounts recognised in these condensed interim financial statements are included in the following notes:
On 24 February 2022, Russia engaged in military actions on Ukraine territory. Fondul does not have any direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine. The Fund Manager is closely monitoring developments that may impact financial markets including sanctions, actions by governments and developments in Ukraine itself. The Fund Manager will further assess the impact on the portfolio companies operations and valuation and take any potential actions needed, as facts and circumstances are subject to change and may be specific to investment strategies and jurisdictions. At the authorization date of these condensed interim financial statements, the Fund Manager is not able to reliably estimate the impact as events are unfolding day-by-day.
During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022, the Fund's Sole Director performed a periodic analysis of multiples values of publicly traded peer companies and of the portfolio companies financial information and adjusted the value of unlisted holdings accordingly, where the case (see Note 15 for further details on fair value adjustments).
The Fund's Sole Director will continue to closely monitor the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures applied on a national and international level.
The Romanian Government decided to no longer extend the state of alert beyond 8 March 2022 and lifted all the restrictions imposed in the country in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the Fund's Sole Director will continue to closely monitor the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures applied on a national and international level.
The significant accounting policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Fund's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed interim financial statements.

The unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 was mainly generated by the change in fair value for the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (unrealised gain of RON 3,074,576,030), as a result of the strong performance registered by the company in the period in the current electricity market context. The unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 was mainly generated by the change in fair value for the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (unrealised gain of RON 2,104,184,890) and OMV Petrom SA (unrealised gain of RON 370,591,745), as a result of the strong performance of these companies.
The unrealised loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 was generated by the negative change in fair value for the unlisted holdings in Engie Romania SA (unrealised loss of RON 123,170,000), in E-Distributie Banat SA (unrealised loss of RON 111,890,000), E-Distributie Dobrogea SA (unrealised loss of RON 84,150,000) and also in E-Distributie Muntenia SA (unrealised loss of RON 79,520,000). The loss was also generated by the drop in share price for OMV Petrom SA (16.2% decrease which generated a total loss of RON 134,786,783 out of which RON 1,284,633 was realised following the sale of 40.4 million shares in the company). The unrealised loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 was mainly generated by the decrease in fair value for the holding in CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA (unrealised loss of RON 32,200,000), E-Distributie Banat SA (unrealised loss of RON 21,400,000) and E-Distributie Muntenia SA (unrealised loss of RON 20,000,000).

The dividend income was subject to 5% Romanian withholding tax during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2021. In cases where the relevant shareholding of the Fund was above 10% of total share capital of the paying company, for at least one year prior to the dividend distribution date, a withholding tax exemption is applied.
According to the Annual Cash Distribution Policy of the Fund, the special cash distributions received from portfolio companies are not subject to Fund's dividend distribution to shareholders. The Fund Manager may propose the distribution to shareholders of such amounts after considering the on-going measures imposed by the Discount Control Mechanism and the available cash.
For the purpose of the Annual Cash Distribution Policy of the Fund, the special cash distributions are the amounts distributed by the portfolio companies from other sources than the annual net profit included in the latest annual financial statements. From the total gross dividend income for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 a total amount of RON 275,783,146 represented special cash distributions (nine-month period ended 30 September 2021: RON 252,330,382).
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
The net gain/(loss) from other financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 includes the realised gain from the change in the fair value of the receivable related to the unpaid share capital from the Romanian State which was classified at fair value through profit or loss, in amount of RON 189,182,422 (for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021: nil). The fair value of this receivable as at 31 December 2021 was nil.
This caption also includes net unrealized gain of RON 55,419,836 from the change in fair value of the preferential rights linked to the share capital increase of OMV Petrom SA as mentioned in Note 16 Other assets (for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021: nil).
The remaining amounts recorded under this category represent the net loss generated by the change in fair value for the government bonds held by the Fund during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2021.
In January 2022, the Fund publicly announced that it had taken the decision to proceed with the partial sale of the investment in OMV Petrom SA (listed company) through an accelerated bookbuild offering. Consequently, as at 31 December 2021, the Fund reclassified, in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, the part of the holding in OMV Petrom SA of RON 1,135,225,000 subject to the bookbuild offering, as noncurrent assets held for sale. The sale offering was completed on 19 January 2022 for 2,275,000,000 shares and the gross proceeds received from the disposal amounted to RON 978,250,000.
The realised loss of RON 156,975,000 from the disposal of the non-current assets held for sale represents the difference between the total proceeds from the disposal (RON 978,250,000) and the fair value at the reclassification date of the non-current assets held for sale disposed of (RON 1,135,225,000).
There were no assets classified as non-current assets held for sale during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021.

On 29 June 2020, the Fund extended the credit facility concluded with BRD - Groupe Societe Generale SA for a period of another two years, until 29 June 2022. The Fund decided not to extend the credit facility further, after this date. The credit facility was for general corporate and operational use and had a committed amount of RON 45,000,000.

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary paid shares in issue during the period, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Fund and held as treasury shares (based on their settlement date). As at 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2021, none of the Fund's issued shares or other instruments had dilutive effect, therefore basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are the same.

The cash held in the distributions bank accounts can only be used for payments to shareholders. Such payments are subject to a general statute of limitation, respectively the shareholders may request the payments only within a three-year term starting with the distribution payment date, except for specific instances that are individually assessed.
As at 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021 there is no difference between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities that could result in amounts that are deductible/ taxable when determining taxable profit or tax loss of future periods. In consequence, as at 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021, the net deferred tax position is nil as the Fund did not recognise any deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability.
As at 30 September 2022 the unused fiscal loss carried forward amounts to RON 3,000,035,282 out of which RON 2,499,510,497 will expire on 31 December 2022 and RON 500,524,785 will expire on 31 December 2027.
As at 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021 the Fund did not recognise any deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses carried forward as there is a high probability that there will be insufficient future taxable profit against which the loss carried forward can be utilised.
The effective tax rate used to calculate the deferred tax position of the Fund is 16% (standard tax rate).
There was no movement in the deferred tax position during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2021. The deferred tax balances during both these periods were zero.

As at 30 September 2022, the classification of the fair value of equity investments of RON 15,124,625,169 by fair value hierarchy level (see Note 4 for more details) is as follows: RON 784,051,572 under Level 1 (31 December 2021: RON 973,777,976) and RON 14,340,573,597 under Level 3 (31 December 2021: RON 11,603,900,630).
The table below presents the movement in Level 3 equity investments during nine-month periods ended 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2021:
| 9 months ended 30 September 2022 |
9 months ended 30 September 2021 |

| Closing balance | 14,340,573,597 | 9,754,950,168 |
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety.
If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs, that financial instrument is classified on Level 3. Assessing the significance of an input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires significant judgment, considering factors specific to the asset.
The Fund considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
For Level 3, the equity investments valuations were performed using valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs, which ensures that the underlying data is accurate, and that appropriate inputs were used in the valuation.
As at 30 September 2022, the fair value for 91% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2021: for 89% of the Level 3 equity investments) was determined by applying the market comparison technique using comparable trading multiples for EBITDA, while the fair value for 9% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2021: for almost 11% of the Level 3 equity investments) was determined by applying the income approach using the discounted cash flow method. There were no significant changes in the valuation technique used for the valuation of the holdings as at 30 September 2022 compared with that used as at 31 December 2021.
Due to strong performance and the variability of the energy sector during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 and also due to the circumstances linked to the listing (a decrease in discount for lack of marketability from 16.2% in December 2021 to 6.5% in September 2022), the Fund, with the assistance of the external valuation services provider, performed several valuation reports for Hidroelectrica SA. Please see the table below for a summary of the changes throughout the year:

Considering the current context of the energy and gas market, the corporate events that may take place, the values of the unlisted holdings: Engie Romania SA, E-Distributie Banat SA, E-Distributie Muntenia SA, E-Distributie Dobrogea SA were updated using the multiples values as at 30 September 2022 of publicly traded peers companies, using the same methodology and computation algorithm as in the latest available valuation report prepared with the assistance of the external valuation services provider.
The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 30 September 2022 was prepared as follows:
The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 30 September 2021 was prepared as follows:

The Fund's Sole Director believes that the fair values of the equity investments presented in these condensed interim financial statements represent the best estimates based on available information and under the current conditions.
The valuations are based on prevailing market, economic and other conditions at the valuation date and correspond with a period of significant volatility in global financial markets and widespread macro-economic uncertainty. To the extent possible, these conditions were reflected in the valuation. However, the factors driving these conditions can change over relatively short periods of time. The impact of any subsequent changes in these conditions on the global economy and financial markets generally, and on the Fund's portfolio holdings specifically, could impact the estimated fair values in the future, either positively or negatively.
The achievement of the forecasts included in the valuation reports critically depends on the assumptions used, on the specific developments of the portfolio companies' business, on government legislation and, in case of electricity sector, on the decisions regarding the regulated tariffs for electricity distribution as well as on the continuing restructuring process of the power sector.
As a result, the current valuation may not have identified, or reliably quantified the impact of all such uncertainties and implications.
The Fund's management has analysed the period between the date of the valuation reports and the date when these condensed interim financial statements were authorised for issue and there was no information known or available to the Fund's management which may have significant impact on the fair values of the equity investments as at the reporting date, as they are presented in these condensed interim financial statements.
Considering the economic uncertainties, the risks and the strong volatility existing in the capital markets, the Fund's Sole Director closely monitors the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures on the Fund's portfolio companies. The Fund's Sole Director will perform a periodic analysis of multiples values of publicly traded peer companies and of the available portfolio companies' financial information and will adjust the value of unlisted holdings accordingly, if the case.
The Fund has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework includes a valuation department and a valuation committee, both independent of portfolio management which have overall responsibility for fair value measurements.
The economic uncertainties are expected to continue in the foreseeable future and consequently, there is a possibility that the assets of the Fund are not recovered at their carrying amounts in the ordinary course of business. A corresponding impact on the Fund's profitability cannot be estimated reliably as of the date of these condensed interim financial statements.
Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that the Fund believes that a third-party market participant would consider these factors in pricing a transaction.
For the financial investments classified as Level 1, the Fund had adequate information available with respect to active markets, with sufficient trading volume, for obtaining accurate prices.
The following tables set out information about the significant unobservable inputs used at 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021 in measuring equity instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Significant unobservable inputs are the following:
Revenue multiple: is a tool used to appraise businesses based on market comparison to similar public companies. Revenue based business value estimation may be preferred to earnings multiple valuation whenever there is uncertainty regarding some of a company's expenses. The most common tendency is to value a firm based on its sales whenever this number is the most direct indication of a company's earning capacity.
EBITDA multiple: represents the most relevant multiple used when pricing investments and it is calculated using information from comparable public companies (similar geographic location, industry size, target markets and other factors that valuers consider to be reasonable). The traded multiples for comparable companies are determined by dividing the enterprise value of a company by its EBITDA and further discounted for considerations such as the lack of marketability and other differences between the comparable peer group and specific company.
Discount for lack of marketability: represents the discount applied to the comparable market multiples to reflect the liquidity differences between a portfolio company relative to its comparable peer group. Valuers estimate the discount for lack of marketability based on their professional judgement after considering market liquidity conditions and company-specific factors.
Discount for lack of control: represents the discount applied to reflect the absence of the power of control considered under the discounted cash flow method, in order to derive the value of a minority shareholding in the equity of subject companies.
Weighted average cost of capital: represents the calculation of a company's cost of capital in nominal terms (including inflation), based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model. All capital sources (shares, bonds and any other long-term debts) are included in a weighted average cost of capital calculation.
Price/Earnings multiple ("P/E"): Price/Earnings ratio is a market prospect ratio that calculates the market value of an investment relative to its earnings by comparing the market price per share by the earnings per share. It shows what the market is willing to pay for an investment based on its current earnings. Investors often use this ratio to evaluate what an investment's fair market value should be by predicting future earnings per share.
Price/Book value multiple: often expressed simply as price-to-book, this multiple measures a company's market price in relation to its book value (net assets). It reflects how many times the book value per share investors are ready to pay for a share. The Price/Book value multiple varies dramatically between industries. A company that requires more assets (e.g. a manufacturing company with factory space and machinery) will generally post a significantly lower price to book than a company whose earnings come from the provision of a service (e.g. a consulting firm).

On 1 February 2022, the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Finance paid RON 189,182,422 to the Fund, as payment for the unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State in the Fund (as at 31 December 2021, the Romanian State held 363,812,350 unpaid shares, each share having a nominal value of RON 0.52).
This payment was performed in exercise of the Romanian State's rights under Law 247/2005 on the reform in the fields of property and justice, as well as some adjacent measures. Consequently, starting 1 February 2022, the new value of the Fund's subscribed and paid-up share capital is RON 3,334,342,422.84 (divided into 6,412,196,967 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.52/share).
The table below presents the Fund's shares balance and their nominal value:

Unpaid share capital represented the nominal value of certain contributions due to the Fund by the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Public Finance as shareholder, which were initially recorded as paid share capital (based on Law 247/2005) and in 2011 were considered unpaid following the final results of several litigations that took place in the past. Holders of unpaid shares are not entitled to vote or to receive dividends or other cash distributions, until the matters are legally clarified.
Due to the fact that there are no clear provisions regarding the unpaid share capital in the special legislation related to the Fund and that according to the general framework provided by the Companies' Law the deadline for the payment by the Romanian State represented by Ministry of Public Finance of the unpaid share capital expired, the Fund recorded a presentation adjustment as at 31 December 2017 for the entire balance of unpaid share capital against other reserves.
This adjustment was recorded in the financial statements only for presentation purpose.
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
As at 31 December 2021 the fair value of the receivable related to the unpaid amounts from the Romanian State was nil. On 1 February 2022, the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Public Finance, transferred RON 189,182,422 to the Fund, as payment for all unpaid shares mentioned above.
The registration of the new share capital structure (subscribed and paid-up) and of the total voting rights of the Ministry of Public Finance with the Trade Registry, Financial Supervisory Authority and the Central Depositary was completed during the first quarter of 2022. Consequently, this presentation adjustment was reversed in the first quarter of 2022.

As required by the Romanian Companies' Law, a minimum 5% of the profit for the year must be transferred to the legal reserve until the reserve equals at least 20% of the issued share capital. The legal reserve cannot be used for distributions to shareholders. As at 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021, the legal reserve amount represented 20% of the value of the issued share capital.
The amounts allocated to other reserves are to be used to cover the losses (negative reserves) recorded from cancellation of shares acquired through the buy-back programmes.
During the General Shareholder Meeting held on 20 April 2022 the shareholders authorized that the amount of RON 671,941,938, which was allocated to other reserves based on the 28 April 2021 GSM, be used to cover the negative reserve generated from the cancellation of shares acquired during 2020 through the eleventh buy-back programme. During the GSM held on 20 April 2022, the Fund's shareholders also approved the allocation to other reserves of an amount of RON 230,576,693 from the 2021 net accounting profit to be used for covering the negative reserves estimated to arise from the cancellation of treasury shares acquired during 2021 through the twelfth buy-back programme.
Losses from cancellation of treasury shares comprise the negative reserves related to the losses on the cancellation of treasury shares acquired at an acquisition value higher than the nominal value. These amounts will be covered from retained earnings and other equity elements, in accordance with the resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting.
Since January 2017, the Fund's share nominal value was constantly lower than its market price, situation which did not change up to the date of these financial statements. All buy-backs performed after this date were made at an acquisition price higher than the nominal value and consequently all cancellations of treasury shares acquired through the buy-back programmes generated negative reserves.
The table below shows the changes in the negative reserves recorded as result of the losses from cancellation of treasury shares during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2021:

*Registration date of the shareholders in the shareholders' registry kept by the Central Depositary
**The dividend payment is subject to the general statute of limitation. As such, shareholders may request the payment only within a three-year term from the Starting Payment Date, unless the legislation provides for another term.
Only the shareholders registered in the shareholders' registry with the Central Depositary on the registration date approved by the Fund's shareholders have the right to receive the related gross dividend, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund.
During the 20 April 2022 General Shareholders Meeting, the Fund's shareholders approved the distribution of a gross dividend of RON 0.1250 per share from 2021 profit. The shareholders registered in the shareholders' registry with the Central Depositary on 3 June 2022 have the right to receive a gross dividend of RON 0.1250 per share, proportionally with their participation in the paid in share capital of the Fund. The payment started on 27 June 2022.
At 30 September 2022, the Fund was involved in certain litigations, either as defendant or claimant. After analysing the requirements of IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets", the Fund considers that there are no litigations which may have significant effects on the Fund's financial position or profitability.
Other contingencies of the Fund included the receivables from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA and the potential payable regarding CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA share capital increase, as detailed below.
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
Title II, Article 4 of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 81/2007 stipulated the transfer of World Trade Center Bucuresti SA receivables from the Authority for State Assets Recovery to the Fund, amounting to USD 68,814,198 (including the original principal and related interest and penalties) on 29 June 2007.
Between 2008 and 2010, the Fund recovered from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA, USD 510,131, EUR 148,701 and RON 8,724,888. Given the uncertainties regarding the recoverability of the amounts due by World Trade Center Bucuresti SA, the above amounts were recognised on receipt basis in the Fund's financial statements.
The amounts recovered from the enforcement procedure were accounted for by the Fund as contributions of the Romanian State to the share capital of the Fund, decreasing the receivable related to the unpaid capital.
In August 2013, World Trade Center Bucuresti SA filed a claim against the Fund asking the Fund to pay back all the amounts received through the enforcement procedure during 2010 and 2011 (EUR 148,701, USD 10,131 and RON 8,829,663).
On 7 July 2016, the Bucharest Court admitted the claim filed by World Trade Center Bucuresti SA and obliged Fondul Proprietatea to pay back the amounts recovered from the enforcement procedure (EUR 148,701, USD 10,131 and RON 8,829,663) and the related legal interest calculated for these amounts. During the period from July to August 2016, the Fund performed the payment of these amounts and the related legal interest to World Trade Center Bucuresti SA. The Court decision is irrevocable.
On 18 February 2020, the Court ruled in favour of the Fund in the case started against the Romanian State, represented by Ministry of Public Finance, for recovering the contributions of the Romanian State to the share capital of the Fund. The decision was issued in the first stage and Ministry of Public Finance appealed it. On 18 September 2020, Bucharest Court of Appeal admitted the appeal of Ministry of Public Finance. The Fund filed the second appeal which was rejected by the High Court of Cassation and Justice on 1 April 2021.
The Fund has initiated legal actions for recovering the amounts from World Trade Center Bucharest SA in this respect, which are pending with the Court. In case that the court decision is unfavorable, the Fund - based on the argumentation of the Court and the argumentation of the High Court of Cassation and Justice in the previous claim against the State (which is yet to be communicated ) - will consider what other steps can be taken to recover the amounts mentioned above.
CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti called through the convening notice published in the Official Gazette of Romania Part IV no. 3873/20.09.2021, a General Shareholders Meeting for 25 October 2021, in order to approve a share capital increase with the land located inside the Baneasa airport, brought as Romanian state's contribution in kind to the company's share capital. The proposed value for the share capital increase was initially RON 3,814,809,171. This is the third time when the process to increase the share capital is initiated since 2001 when Baneasa Airport received the land ownership certificates.
During 26 October 2021 (i.e. second call of the shareholders meeting) the share capital increase was approved only with Romanian State votes in favour as follows:
(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)
Fondul Proprietatea already expressed its opinion strongly disputing the fundamentally flawed land valuation report, as the land valuation report carried out in 2021 attributes a very high value to the land, despite a previously approved valuation report from 2017, which had set the value of the same land at RON 269 million.
Fondul Proprietatea commenced court proceedings for the annulment of the shareholders resolutions asking the court to suspend the entire process till the claim for annulment case is irrevocably closed, to protect the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
Following the hearing that took place on 13 January 2022, the Bucharest Court of Appeal admitted the request of suspension filed by the Fund and ordered the suspension of the effects of the increase until the claim for the annulment of the CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti GSM is irrevocably settled.
Considering the above, the dilution risk was assessed as not significant and thus no additional adjustments were applied to the valuation of the company.
The Fund will continue to update its shareholders regarding the share capital increase process. The duration of court cases in Romania is not predictable. However, the Fund will use all legal available means to have a solution for this issue as soon as possible.
