The Management Company shall receive the Performance Fee. The Performance Fee and the expenses related to the discounting of the Performance Fee shall not be included into the specified maximum amount of expenses.
  • 13.1.1. The Management Fee is the remuneration paid to the Management Company for management of the Company's assets, which shall be payable for each quarter of a calendar year. The Management Fee for the entire quarter of a calendar year shall be equal to 0.375 per cent of the Company's weighted average capitalisation. Its amount shall be calculated as a value according to the following formula:

$$
VM_{kety} = VSK_{kety} * A
$$

where:

VMketv – the amount of the Management Fee.

A – the quarterly amount of the Management Fee in percentage terms, used for the calculation of the quarterly Management Fee.

VSKketv – quarterly weighted average capitalisation of the Company calculated according to the formula:

$$
VSK_{ketv} = \frac{T_{ketv}}{Q_{ketv}} * \sum_{i=1}^{n_{ketv}} \frac{Vnt_i}{n_{ketv}}
$$

where:

Vnti – the number of Shares of the Company at the end of business day. It does not include Company's on shares.

Qketv – the number of Shares transferred on the regulated market during the respective quarter.

nketv – the number of business days per respective quarter, irrespective of the number of trading days (except when the Management Fee is calculated not for a full quarter of a calendar year, in this case the number of business days in a relevant period shall be used for calculation).

Tketv – turnover of the Shares during the respective quarter according to the Shares trading data on the regulated market, calculated according to the following formula:

$$
T_{ketv} = \sum_{j=0}^{k} (P_j * Q_j)
$$

where:

k – the number of transactions on the regulated market during the respective quarter.

Pj – Share price of transaction j on the regulated market.

Qj – the number of Shares traded in transaction j on the regulated market.

If the Management Fee is calculated only for a part of a calendar quarter of the year, the Management Fee in percentage terms shall be recalculated by dividing it by the number of all business days in the calendar quarter and multiplying by the number of business days in the period for which the Management Fee is calculated. If there was no trading in Shares throughout the entire calendar quarter, the Management Fee for a quarter of the calendar year shall be equal to 0.375 per cent of the average Net Asset Value of the Company which is calculated as the arithmetic average of the values at the beginning and at the end of the quarter.

The calculation, accounting and inclusion of the Management Fee in the Net Asset Value is detailed in the Company's Accounting Policy and Net Asset Value Calculation Rules established by the Management Company.

Performance Fee

The share of the Company's profit due to the Management Company – the Performance Fee – is subject to the Company's return which is calculated in respect of the entire Company rather than in respect of an individual Shareholder. The return of the Company shall be determined using the Microsoft Excel XIRR formula which estimates the time of positive and negative flows (i.e., due account is taken of periodicity) and their size.

The Company's profit is the amount of positive and negative flows in respect of the Shareholders during the entire period of the Company's activities, where:

  • Initial negative flow:
  • o until the last day of the reporting period (a calendar quarter of the Company's activities), at the end of which the Performance Fee is paid to the Management Company for the first time, the initial negative flow is deemed equal to the Net Asset Value as of the last day of the previous month before the Company was issued a closed-end investment undertaking's licence.
  • o after the date indicated in paragraph above, the initial negative flow is deemed equal to the amount of funds used for the calculation of the Performance Fee paid to the Management Company (if the Net Asset Value was used for the calculation of the paid Performance Fee, then the initial negative flow for the next calculation shall be the Net Asset Value determined at the end of the reporting period (for which the Performance Fee had to be paid last time) reduced by the amount of the Performance Fee paid to the Management Company after the reporting period for which the Performance Fee had to be paid last time).

OF THE SPECIAL CLOSED-END REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT COMPANY INVL BALTIC REAL ESTATE

  • after the distribution of the average return pay-outs, 80 per cent of all the available funds shall be assigned to the Shareholders and 20 per cent to the Management Company as the Performance Fee. The Performance Fee calculated but not paid during the previous calculation periods shall reduce the new Performance Fee calculated during the new calculation period.

  • if the annual return of the Company is lower or equal to 8 per cent, no Performance Fee shall be assigned to the Management Company – the whole return of the Company goes to the Shareholders.

The assignment of the Performance Fee shall be subject to the high-water mark principle, according to which the Performance Fee can be assigned only in case the Net Asset Value or the average weighted capitalisation of the Shares for the last ended quarter on the Nasdaq Vilnius Stock Exchange (whichever is less) exceeds the highest value calculated or recalculated value of these values until then, according to which the Performance Fee was paid. In such a case, in later periods the initial point for calculation of the Performance Fee shall be the value of the highest limit which was reached last (the Net Asset Value or the average weighted capitalisation of the Shares for the last ended quarter on the Nasdaq Vilnius Stock Exchange) (whichever is less) for which the Performance Fee was paid to the Management Company.

The Performance Fee commitment shall be recalculated as of the Net Asset Value calculation date (each quarter), taking into account the Company's return from the specified date of the initial negative flow to the corresponding Net Asset Value calculation date. The recalculation of the Performance Fee is accompanied by a recalculation and, if necessary, determination (based on which of them was the last to be paid the Performance Fee) (a) new capped net asset value or (b) new capped cap the value of the weighted average capitalization on the Nasdaq Vilnius Stock Exchange, taking into account all amounts actually paid to the shareholders or paid by the shareholders to the Company during the period from the end of the reporting period (for which the Performance Fee was last due).

The calculation, accounting, and inclusion of the Performance Fee liability in the Net Asset Value is detailed in the Company's Accounting Policy and Net Asset Value Calculation Rules established by the Management Company.

The assigned Performance Fee shall be paid to the Management Company after the end of a calendar quarter of activities of the Company.

  • the return earned by the Company for the Shareholders, calculated both according to the Net Asset Value and the average weighted capitalisation on the Nasdaq Vilnius Stock Exchange for the last ended quarter exceeds the Company's average return of 8 per cent on the negative flows (the amounts of funds invested by the Shareholders).
  • the Performance Fee paid to the Management Company may not exceed the Company's return to the Shareholders, calculated on the lesser of the amounts, i.e., the Net Asset Value or the average weighted capitalisation on the Nasdaq Vilnius Stock Exchange for the last ended quarter. When determining the Performance Fee amount which

V.INFORMATION ON THE TYPES OF RISKS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT

25. RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE ACQUISITION AND INVESTMENT OF INVESTMENT UNITS OR SHARES

Any kind of investment is inherently related to risk, and investment into Shares is additionally related to specific and higher-thanaverage long-term risk. Such type of investment is suitable only for persons who are capable of assuming this risk and understand that, by acquiring the Shares, they can lose the entire invested amount.

In addition to the risk factors listed below, there can be further risk factors that are not specified herein because, when preparing this Prospectus, the Management Company has no information about such factors or considers them to be insignificant. However, such risks can affect the Company's financial results and have an impact on the value of the Shares. Therefore, the information on risk factors provided herein should not be deemed a detailed and final description of risk factors encompassing all risk factors. Having regard to the aforesaid, the decision to acquire Shares must be adopted having considered the risk factors specified below.

The net asset value of the Company can increase or decrease; for this reason, the Shareholder may not recover the amount invested into the Company. There are no guarantees and no guarantees may be granted regarding the Company's activities and investment return or a specific investment of the Company, and the investment results of the previous period do not guarantee that they will be the same in the future as well.

The sequence of presentation (disclosure) of the risk factors is not based on the analysis of the probability of the occurrence and impact of the respective factors on the Share value and the comparison of factors because due to the specifics of the activities of the Company (activities in the particularly cyclical economic sector) such analysis and comparison could not be sufficiently grounded and could mislead the Shareholders.

The tools for the management of risk factors are not and cannot be considered as ensuring the elimination of respective risk factors.

  • 25.1.1. General risk. The value of an investment into real estate can fluctuate in the short-term depending on the general economic situation, real estate lease and sale prices, demand and supply fluctuations. Investments into real estate should be made for a medium or long period in order that the investor could avoid the risk of short-term price fluctuations. Investments into real estate are related to higher-than-average risk. If investments are not profitable or in case of other unfavourable circumstances (inability to pay creditors in time), bankruptcy proceedings can be instituted against the Company. Redemption of the Shares is limited, i.e., a shareholder cannot demand that the Company or the Management Company, which took over its management, would redeem the Shares. But a shareholder will have a possibility to sell Shares in the secondary market. The inherit risk reflects the nature of investment into low-liquidity financial instruments; therefore, there are no effective tools for the management of such risk applicable by the Management Company.
  • 25.1.2. Real estate development risk. Real estate projects developed by the Company can take longer than planned or cost more than planned and return on investments of the Company may decrease for this reason. Managing this risk, the Company will assign sufficient resources for control over the budgets and performance terms of real estate development projects.
  • 25.1.3. Risk of inflation and deflation. There is a risk that in case of inflation the value of a Share will grow slower than the inflation, which would result in the return lower than inflation. In such a case, the real return earned by persons who sold the Shares of the Company in the market from increase in the value of the Shares can be smaller than expected. In case of deflation, there would be a risk that the value of the Company's investments will decrease by reason of the drop of the general price level. Managing this risk, it will be sought to ensure the efficient activities and communication of the Company, thus increasing the attractiveness of its Shares to a wider circle of investors.
  • 25.1.4. Macroeconomic environment. Real estate development tends to follow the general developments in the macroeconomic environment. Interest rates, unemployment, inflation, private consumption, capital expenditure and other macroeconomic indicators have significant influence on real estate developments and hence the operations and the potential profitability of the Group. Favourable developments in the macroeconomic environment increase demand for real properties, allow the real estate companies to increase rent rates of properties and other prices related to activities of the Group. Adverse developments increase pressure on real estate prices, rent rates and yields. Hence the Group's results are dependent on general macroeconomic environment and adverse developments in the environment might lead to reconsideration of some of the Group's development plans, negative pressure on prices and rents of the Group's properties or other changes in relation to the Group's properties that might have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and profitability.
  • 25.1.5. Cyclicality of the real estate sector. Real estate development is a cyclical sector. The number of real estate related transactions fluctuates significantly depending on the stage of the real estate cycle. In the Baltic countries has been relatively high lately as a fast growth in prices fuelled by availability of cheap financing was followed by a steep decline as a result of financial crisis. In the future the Baltic real estate market might regain the lost momentum, again inflating

the price levels, which might be followed by overheating of the market and downward pressure on the prices, thus, starting the next real estate cycle.

RISK FACTORS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE GROUP (COMPANY AND HER SUBSIDIARIES)

  • 25.1.6. Dependence on external financing. The Group's cash inflows currently are sufficient to finance operating cash outflows and to pay monthly instalments of repayments and interests' payments of bank borrowings. However, further development of the Group's activities will require substantial amounts of capital to fund capital expenditures. For this reason, failure to secure adequate levels of external financing might limit the Group's growth plans and place it at competitive disadvantage as compared to well-capitalized peers. Failure to obtain external financing may lead to forced sale of assets at unfavourable prices or even cause insolvency which may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operation or financial condition and may destroy the shareholders' value.
  • 25.1.7. Risk related to lease agreements. The Group's lease agreements may be divided into two categories: non-cancellable fixed-term lease agreements and cancellable lease agreements entered for an unspecified term. For the cancellable lease agreements, tenants must notify the administrator 1-6 months in advance if they wish to cancel the rent agreement.

The Group seeks to use both types of agreements, depending on the market situation and the properties in question. Lease agreements entered for an unspecified term involve nevertheless a risk that many such agreements may be terminated within a short period of time. The Group aims at renewing the fixed term lease agreements flexibly in cooperation with its tenants. There are, however, no guarantees that the Group will be successful in this. To prevent tenants from terminating the lease agreements, the Group may also be forced to agree on the reduction of rent fees. The reduction of rent fees payable to the Group under a large number of lease agreements and/or concurrent termination of a large number of lease agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.

  • 25.1.8. Risk of reliance on the Company's property administrator. On 2 January 2013 the Company has entered into an agreement with a third party for property management and administration services on part of Company's asset portfolio. An agreement was terminated on 1 January 2018, after the Company's subsidiary Proprietas, UAB and the Company signed a property management and administration agreement. The detailed list of buildings, administered, based on this agreement is provided in Section 2.3. of the Company's consolidated annual report "Information about the Issuer's group of companies". Under this agreement the third party, as an administrator of the property, is committed to increase Company's value and maintain high quality of service for buildings' tenants and employees. In case of change in administrative prices in the market, new contracts under less favourable conditions can be entered into with administrator, which may directly influence the increase in Company's costs.
  • 25.1.9. Interest rate risk. There is a risk that in case of fast recovery of the global economy or increase in inflation, central banks will increase interest rates and it will be more expensive to service loans in connection with the Company's investments, therefore, the value of the Company's investments can decrease. To avoid this risk, the Management Company shall seek that the Company would get most of its loans at fixed interest rates. If it seems necessary, the Company shall hedge against interest rate risk when entering relevant transactions.

Rising interest rates will increase the Group's debt service costs, which will reduce the return on investment. If considered necessary, the Group will manage interest rate risk by entering financial derivatives' contracts.

  • 25.1.10. Leverage risk. Leverage risk is related to possible depreciation of real estate objects acquired with borrowed money. The bigger the leverage, the higher probability of this risk is. To manage this risk, the Management Company will seek to use the financial leverage of such level that it would be reasonably expected to be refinanced even if the macroeconomic situation has changed.
  • 25.1.11. Credit risk. The Company has given and may have given loans to other companies, therefore, in case of deterioration of the financial condition of those companies, there is a risk that the Company will not get back all the loans granted by it.
  • 25.1.12. Risk of liquidity of the Company's investments. This is a risk to incur losses due to low liquidity of the market when it becomes difficult to sell assets at the desired time at the desired price. In management of this risk, the Company will regularly monitor the real estate market, will get ready for the property sale process in advance, in this way reducing the liquidity risk. Acquiring Shares, the shareholders also assume the risk of securities liquidity – in case of a drop in demand for Shares or delisting them from the stock exchange, investors would find it difficult to sell them. In case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, the demand for Shares, as well as their price may decrease. Liquidity risk also covers the cash flow disruption risk incurred by the Company due to late payments and/or full default on monetary obligations by insolvent tenants. In order to manage this risk, the Management Company will take measures so that the Company would have sufficient information about the market situation and could make decisions regarding the realisation of the Company's investments on the basis of such information.

OF THE SPECIAL CLOSED-END REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT COMPANY INVL BALTIC REAL ESTATE

  • 25.1.13. Total investment risk. The value of the investment in real estate can vary in the short term, depending on the general economic conditions, rent and purchase prices of real estate, demand and supply fluctuations, etc. Investment in real estate should be carried out in the medium and long term, so that the investor could avoid short-term price fluctuations. Investing in real estate is related to higher than medium risks. Failure of investments of the Group or under other illaffected circumstances (having been unable to pay for the creditors) can have a significant adverse effect on the Group's performance and financial situation or in the worst-case scenario bankruptcy proceedings may be initiated.
  • 25.1.14. Investment diversification risk. This is a risk that one bad investment can have a significant effect on the results of the Company. To reduce this risk, the Company will have a sufficient number of different real estate objects in its portfolio, in this way maintaining the proper diversification level.
  • 25.1.15. Tenants' risk. The Company will seek to let real estate objects at as high prices as possible. Though currently the rent is paid in time (overdue obligations of tenants are very small and are not significant for activities of the Company), there is a risk that upon change (deterioration) of the economic situation the tenants will default on their obligations – this would have a negative impact on the profit and cash flows of the Company. In case of late performance of a large part of obligations, the ordinary business of the Company may be disrupted, it may be necessary to search for additional sources of financing, which may be not always available. The Company, in case of failure to earn planned income from lease or to maintain a high percentage of occupation of the buildings, can face the problem of costs that are not compensated by permanent tenants. This risk may manifest itself in case of big increase in the supply of rented premises and reduction in demand, drop-in rental fees. In case of a failure to let the premises at planned prices or in planned scopes, also in case current tenants terminate their lease agreements, the income of the Company could decrease, whereas fixed costs would remain the same. Accordingly, the profit of the Company would decrease. Seeking to avoid such situations, the Management Company will constantly monitor the status of the Company's property with the tenants so that the tenants who pose a threat of default on their obligations would be replaced by tenants who would pose a lower risk. Despite this, this risk is not and cannot be eliminated.
  • 25.1.16. Risk of valuation of the Company's assets. The assets of the Company will be evaluated according to the main rules set in the Articles of Association and the Accounting Policy of the Management Company. Valuation of individual assets held by the Company shall be performed by the independent appraiser, however such valuation of assets shall be only determining the value of the assets, which does not automatically mean the exact sale price of an investment held by the Company, which depends on many circumstances, for example, economic and other conditions, which cannot be controlled. Thus, the sale price of investments held by the Company can be higher or lower than the value of assets determined by a property appraiser. In order to manage this risk, only the property appraisers who can ensure the high quality of services will be selected.
  • 25.1.17. Competition risk. The Company, investing into investment objects, will compete with other investors, including, without limitation, with other investment companies or real estate investment funds. Thus, there is a risk that competition with other investors will demand that the Company would conduct transactions at less favourable conditions than it would be possible in other cases. When managing this risk, the Management Company will seek to use the maximally broad network of business contacts in order to conduct transactions the knowledge of which is not sufficiently wide to create significant competition.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S SHARES (INVESTMENTS THERETO)

  • 25.1.18. Market risk. Acquisition of Shares entails the risk to incur losses due to unfavourable changes in the Share price in the market. A drop in the price of the Shares can be caused by negative changes in the value of assets and profitability of the Company, general share market trends in the region and in the world. Trade in Shares can depend on comments of financial brokers and analysts and announced independent analyses about the Company and its activities. If the analysts give an adverse opinion about prospects of the Shares, this can also have a negative effect on the price of Shares in the market. In assessing Shares, non-professional investors are advised to address intermediaries of public trading or other specialists in this field for help.
  • 25.1.19. Dividend payment risk. Though the Company has approved its dividend payment policy, payment of dividend to Shareholders is not guaranteed and will depend on profitability of activities, investments plans and the general financial situation. Managing this risk, the Management Company will seek to inform the Shareholders, within the terms established by law, about the Company's financial results so that the Shareholders could plan their cash flows accordingly.
  • 25.1.20. Liquidity of the Issuer's Shares is not guaranteed. It may be possible that in case an investor wants to urgently sell the Issuer's securities (especially many them), demand for them on the exchange will not be sufficient. Therefore, sale of shares can take some more time, or the investor may be forced to sell shares at a lower price. Analogous consequences could appear after the exclusion of the Company's Shares from the Secondary List of Nasdaq. Besides,

in case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, demand for the Shares of the Company and, at the same time, their price may decrease.

OTHER RISKS

  • 25.1.21. Risk of conflict of interest. There is a risk that there will be such situations where the interests of the Management Company (or related persons) and of the Company or the Shareholders will differ or the interests of individual Shareholders will differ, i.e., a conflict of interest will occur. Where it is impossible to prevent a conflict of interest, the Management Company shall ensure that the Shareholders are treated fairly. In accordance with the legal acts regulating the organisation of the activities of collective investment undertakings, the Management Company has implemented proper tools to prevent conflicts of interest which allow to carry out the activity of preventing and managing conflicts of interest independently in order to prevent or reduce the risk of conflicts of interest or to properly manage any existing conflict of interest. Employees of the Management Company must immediately, as soon as they become aware of such information, notify the Investment Committee and/or Advisory Committee (if any formed) about a potential or existing conflict of interest. The Investment Committee, approving of investment decisions, shall take into account the information presented to it about potential or existing conflicts of interest. The Investment Committee shall immediately inform the head and the Board of the Management Company about conflicts of interest it is aware of. The service providers of the Company and/or the Management Company (to the extent related to the management of the Company) may provide services also to other collective investment undertakings which have similar investment targets, investment strategy and investment policy as the Company. Thus, there may be such situations where any service provider, while carrying out its activities and providing its services to the Company, would have a potential conflict of interest in respect of the Company. In such situations each of them will have to act having regard to the provisions of the contracts concluded by the Company and/or the Management Company for the benefit of the Company (including the confidentiality undertakings).
  • 25.1.22. Risk related to uncertainty of legal regulation of the Company's activities. There is a risk that legal actions may be taken against the Company and/or the Management Company including but not limited to disputing the issue of a licence of a closed-end investment undertaking (the permit to approve the incorporation documents of the Company and to choose the depository) or the powers of the Management Company to manage the Company, also enforcing recovery from the assets of the Company for fulfilment of the obligations to creditors of Shareholders and/or the Management Company or demanding that Shareholders and/or the Management Company fulfil the outstanding obligations of the Company.
  • 25.1.23. Risk of major shareholders. Most Shares (around 80 per cent) and votes conferred by them are held by several major Shareholders who control AB Invalda INVL and the Management Company as of the date of the entry into force of the Articles of Association; therefore, these Shareholders can exercise significant influence on the Company's activities. There are no guarantees that the position of these Shareholders will always coincide with the opinion and interests of the Management Company and minor shareholders.
  • 25.1.24. Risk of changes in laws and regulations. There is a risk that upon changes in the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania or of the states in which the Company's profit is invested, these changes can negatively affect the protection of the Company's investments, their profitability and value, or the changes in the legislation can have a different negative impact on the Company's rights and interests. Managing this risk, it will be sought to have in place an effective regulation monitoring system and participate in associated business structures which can have a lawful impact on legislative processes that are significant to the Company.
  • 25.1.25. Tax risk. There is a risk that, upon changes in the country's economic conditions, political situation or due to other reasons, new taxes applicable to the Shareholders or the Company will be introduced or the rates of the existing taxes will increase; therefore, the Share price, liquidity and/or attractiveness can decrease or the value of the Company's investments can decrease as a result of this. Managing this risk, the Management Company will seek to organise the Company's activities by ensuring the optimal tax regime applicable to it.
  • 25.1.26. Risk of transactions with related parties. The Company and/or Controlled Companies and/or Real Estate Companies conclude and/or may conclude mutual transactions which can be declared by the tax administrator as non-compliant with the requirements of the legal acts applicable to such transactions (e.g. failure to comply with the arms-length rule). In such case the Company and/or Controlled Companies and/or Real Estate Companies may have to pay the respective fines and/or interest established in the legal acts. In order to manage this risk, the Management Company will seek to follow the most recent practice in the application of the tax legal acts reasonably articulated by the tax administrator; however, it cannot be considered that this risk has been eliminated.
  • 25.1.27. Geopolitical risk. There is a risk that the activities of the Company may be affected by geopolitical changes (e.g. conflicts between states, internal conflicts of neighbouring states, insurrections, wars) and for this reason the value of the Company's investments can decrease or it may be impossible to sell the Company's investments at the preferred time

OF THE SPECIAL CLOSED-END REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT COMPANY INVL BALTIC REAL ESTATE

for the desired price. The usual monitoring of the geopolitical situation carried out by the Management Company should contribute to the management of this risk.

  • 25.1.28. Risk related to forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, opinion, expectations and forecasts regarding future events and financial trends that will possibly have an impact on the Company's activities. Future-looking statements include information about potential or presumable results of the Company's activities, investment strategy, contractual relationships, borrowing plans, investment conditions, effect of future regulation and other information. The Company is unable to ensure that forward-looking statements will fully and correctly reflect future events and circumstances. The Company, the Management Company and its employees are under no obligation to specify or alter forward-looking statements except to the extent required by laws and the Articles of Association. It is sought to avoid misleading the Shareholders or the persons who intend to become Shareholders by informing them about the conditionality of forward-looking statements.
  • 25.1.29. Risk related to possible liability of the Company. There is a risk that the activities of the Company and the general performance results of the Company can be negatively affected by demands and claims regarding the non-disclosed or non-identified obligations and/or violations related to the investments acquired by the Company which may result in the Company's liability for such obligations and/or violations and, therefore, the value of the Company's investments and the price of Share can decrease significantly. When managing this risk (to the possible extent of acting reasonable and having regard to economic efficiency criteria), it will be sought not to assume any liability obligations or limit them significantly.
  • 25.1.30. Risk of the Company's insolvency. In case of realisation of one or several of the risks indicated above, which would have a negative effect on the value and/or liquidity of Controlled Companies and/or Real Estate Company, this can result in the Company's solvency problems when the Company is incapable of fulfilling the assumed obligations. In such a case, the Company's shareholders can lose all their funds invested in the Company. The Management Company will provide the Shareholders with all information specified by law which would enable the Shareholders to take respective decisions regarding the possession or sale of Shares, having regard to the Company's financial situation.
  • 25.1.31. Risk related to the duty to redeem the Company's shares. The applicable legal acts provide for the duty of the Company in certain circumstances to redeem its shares from the shareholders who demanded such redemption. Accordingly, if the Company becomes subject to the duty to offer to the Shareholders redemption of its own Shares and if such a redemption is requested by the Shareholders holding a significant number of Shares, the Company may be forced to sell its investments urgently, which can significantly reduce the return earned by the Company from the sale of investments. The respective measures are provided for the management of this risk in the Articles of Association.
  • 25.2. Investments into the Shares are related to higher-than-average long-term risk. The Company cannot guarantee that the Shareholders will recover the invested funds.

SUSTAINABILITY RISK FACTORS AND THEIR IMPACTS

25.4.1. Sustainability risk. Sustainability risk means an environmental, social or governance (ESG) event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment. The materialisation of this risk could have a negative impact on the value of the Company's net assets and the assets of the Company's shareholders. In order to mitigate this risk, the Management Company also assesses the sustainability factors and associated sustainability risks relevant to the specific investment being analysed and applies its Policy on Responsible Investment and Integration of Sustainability Risks.

25.4.2. Waste risk. There is a risk that Operating Companies will not properly manage computer waste or other electronic waste. This waste contains hazardous metals that, if not handled properly, can pose a risk to the environment and health. In order to avoid this risk, the Company will encourage the Operating Companies to recycle computer waste and other electronic waste (if possible).

25.4.3. Risk of illegal work. There is a risk that due to a shortage of skilled labour, the Company's service providers and/or contractors may employ persons: (i) who are not citizens of the European Union or who enjoy freedom of movement under European Union law without recruiting , or (ii) will not be contracted in writing. This risk may affect the Company's reputation.

25.4.4. Management and human resources risks. The success of the Company's investment will largely depend on the decisions made by the managers of the companies controlled (directly or indirectly) by the Company, as well as the decisions made by the people responsible for the management of the Company, and the experience and abilities of the said people. There is no guarantee that the same persons will manage the companies controlled (directly or indirectly) by the Company, as well as the Management Company for the entire term of the Company' activities. The Management Company will seek to

implement a promotion policy that ensures that key personnel motivation to participate in the Company's and its investment activities until the end of the term of the Company's activities.

Assessment of the likely impact of sustainability risk on return on the Fund's investments. Taking due account of the Company's investment strategy in respect of sustainability factors, the Management Company is of the opinion that the impact of sustainability risk on the potential return on the Company's investments corresponds with the impact of general investment risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

26. WHERE AND HOW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE TYPES OF RISKS CAN BE OBTAINED.

The Shareholders can find additional information about the risks related to the Shares in the Articles of Association and historical Prospectuses which were announced in order to admit the Shares to trading on a regulated market. In addition, such information will be made available subject to request to the Management Company.

34. SUSTAINABILITY REQUIREMENTS INTO INVESTMENT DECISIONS

Acting in compliance with the principle of proportionality, the Management Company shall not apply the requirement to mandatorily pay the extra pay in financial instruments. However, if the Management Company provides such possibility, the extra pay may, at the employee's choice, be paid in financial instruments or equivalent instruments (share options, contributions to the pension fund, insurance instalments).
