* over a financial year of 18 months ** annualised
We are proud to present the annual report of TINC for the extended fiscal year 2023, a year in which our strategic investments and operational commitment were again rewarded with outstanding results.
These results validate our motto "creating sustainable value by investing in the infrastructure for the world of tomorrow". Indeed, our investments in forward-looking infrastructure create tangible and sustainable value - for society as well as for our shareholders. For the seventh year in a row, TINC succeeded in increasing its distribution to shareholders. This highlights our ability, achieving financial success through thoughtful investments with a positive impact on the future.

Philip Maeyaert Chairman of the Supervisory Board
For the past extended financial year of eighteen months, TINC can again report strong results, despite operating in a world full of challenges such as persistent inflation, high interest rates, volatile power prices and geopolitical uncertainty. The diversification of the portfolio with participations across segments and countries – each with its different dynamics – undoubtedly supports the robust
nature of the overall portfolio. Over the extended financial year, the participations of TINC generated an outstanding portfolio result of €61.5 million, which amounts to an annualised portfolio return of 9.88%. The strong operational performance of the participations across the four segments and the realized gains through active portfolio management contributed to this excellent figure.
This results in a net profit of €50.9 million or €1.40 per share. Based on this outstanding annual result, TINC is proposing a distribution to its shareholders of

Manu Vandenbulcke CEO
€0.84 per share, which is an increase in the distribution for the seventh year in succession. The distribution amounts to an annualised pre-tax yield of 4.77% on the closing share price at the end of the financial year. This distribution is entirely covered by cash flows received by TINC from its investment portfolio.
The investment policy of TINC is embedded in four key societal trends: the transition to a low-carbon society, the upgrading of public infrastructure, increasing digitalisation, and the growing focus on health and well-being. For TINC, these trends provide the framework for investments in four segments: Public Infrastructure, Energy Infrastructure, Digital Infrastructure, and Selective Real Estate.
TINC experienced its strongest investment activity ever with €171.5 million in new investment commitments. This includes additional commitments to six existing participations (Zelfstroom, Storm, Datacenter United, windfarm Kroningswind , GlasDraad, Social Housing Ireland) and to four new participations (Yally, the business service center Obelisc, the PPP Higher Education Buildings and NGE Fibre fiber networks). These new investment commitments are spread nicely over the four segments, and they also illustrate the geographical ambitions of TINC. TINC has, for example, scaled up its presence in Ireland by acquiring a 100% stake in the Irish Higher Education Buildings PPP and made its first investment in France by taking a participation in the fiber networks of NGE Fibre. These new commitments further underline the ambition of TINC to seek profitable growth and portfolio diversification.
TINC also effectively invested €117.4 million in existing and new participations under contractual investment commitments.
At the end of the financial year, TINC still has €112.2 million in contractual investment commitments outstanding, which are projected to be effectively invested over the 2024-2027 period. Of this total amount of €112.2 million in outstanding contractual investments, €35.7 million relates to the Public Infrastructure segment, €23.6 million to the Energy Infrastructure segment, €9.9 million to the Digital Infrastructure segment, and €43 million to the Selective Real Estate segment.
At the end of the financial year, the investment portfolio includes twenty-eight participations, a net increase by three participations.
The fair value of the investment portfolio increases with €52.9 million to €468.4 million at the end of the financial year. This 12.7% increase compared to the previous financial year is the net result of investments in existing and new participations (€117.4 million), repayments from and divestments of participations (€69.5 million) and an increase in the fair value of the portfolio (€3.4 million). The fair value of the portfolio is evenly spread over the four segments, with 33% in Public Infrastructure, 27% Energy Infrastructure, 21% Digital Infrastructure and 19% Selective Real Estate.
The fair value of the investment portfolio is calculated by applying a discount rate to the future cash flows from each individual participation. The weighted average discount rate was 8.10% at the end of the financial year, compared to 7.81% at the end of the previous financial year. The increase is the net result of several changes. One of these changes was the increase of the applicable discount rate for specific participations, such as onshore windfarms. Also, active portfolio management such as the divestment of a number of participations led to changes to the composition of the investment portfolio. The market interest rate further increased slightly during the financial year. TINC has seen interest in high-quality infrastructure remain strong, which largely compensates for any potential upwards pressure on the discount rates due to rising interest rates.
TINC received €126,0 million in cash flows from its investment portfolio. This includes regular dividends and interests, but also the proceeds from the divestment of the stake in Bioversneller NV (€20.1 million) and from the partial divestment of its stake in Dutch fiber company GlasDraad (€40,0 million).
Both these divestments delivered a significant realised gain for TINC. These transactions support the valuation parameters that TINC applies and render cash available for new investment opportunities.
Through the combination of the current participations and the outstanding contractual investment commitments, the investment portfolio of TINC will grow over time to approximately €580 million.
TINC has €27.4 million of cash at the end of the financial year and is available for the outstanding contractual investment commitments and for general investment purposes.
TINC has access to various sources of financing for its investment commitments. On top of the available cash, this comprises cash flows from its investment portfolio, including proceeds from the sale of participations, and the use of debt financing. The debt financing options include drawdowns under available bank credit facilities and the possible bond issues, facilitated by the Sustainable Finance Framework. This framework is implemented with the specific objective of attracting debt funding for sustainable investments within the segments in which TINC operates.
TINC is debt-free and has access to €150 million in undrawn contractual credit facilities with banks.
The combination of €27.4 million in cash and €150 million in available credit facilities means that TINC has access to €177.4 million of available funding at the end of the financial year.
As an investor in the infrastructure for the world of tomorrow, TINC holds a clear long-term vision that is inextricably linked to a focus on societal relevance and sustainability. TINC is committed to contributing to building a low-carbon, healthy, connected, safe and prosperous society through its investment policy and participations. This vision is embedded in the sustainability strategy of TINC for purposes of identifying new opportunities and managing its participations.
In June 2023, the mandate of Mrs. Katja Willems as non-executive board member came to an end. We would like to thank her for her contribution to foster the development of TINC, and we are pleased to welcome Mrs. Martine De Rouck as non-executive board member. The Supervisory Board is an independent and diverse body that currently consists of eight members. We thank our shareholders for their trust and look towards challenging future with confidence. Our robust portfolio and ample financing possibilities are a solid foundation on which we can continue the growth of TINC.

TINC invests in public infrastructure for the future such as roads, locks, public transport, social housing and detention centres that form the backbone of a wellfunctioning, inclusive, and modern society.
Investments in public infrastructure generally take the form of a participation in a public-private partnership (PPP), through which a consortium of industrial and financial partners designs, builds, and finances public infrastructure. This infrastructure is then maintained by the consortium for a fixed contractual period, during which it is made available to a public partner for a fee. At the end of the contract, the infrastructure is transferred to the public partner.
All projects are public-private partnerships based on availability fees, usually under a DBFM or a DBFMO contract (Design, Build, Finance and Maintain (and Operate)). This is an integrated contract form where the contractor is not only responsible for the financing, design, and construction of an asset, but also for its maintenance. All aspects of a project, from design to maintenance, are combined and allocated to a single party, which ensures more efficient project execution.
TINC receives a fixed fee for its PPP participations from public authorities in return for making the infrastructure available during the term of the contract. This fee is not linked to the level of actual use, but covers the operating costs incurred for the maintenance of the infrastructure and the associated finance costs.

Accommodation

Financing comes in the form of both debt capital from lenders and equity capital provided by TINC. This equity contribution is an essential part of the PPP structure. TINC thus enables its partners to focus on the design, realisation and maintenance of these projects.
TINC holds the public infrastructure for the complete life cycle from development and design, during construction, and through to maintenance and operation. It cooperates with local and international contractors in realising and maintaining these projects.
To date, TINC has contributed to the development of over €2 billion of vital public infrastructure through the PPP structure.
Public infrastructure will undoubtedely evolve in today's complex and challenging society. Flexible, effective, and inclusive forms of education, or safe and efficient mobility solutions are only a few examples. Public authorities must meet substantial investment needs and these offer attractive growth opportunities for TINC.
To this end, TINC closely monitors developments concerning public tenders and public-private financing, in cooperation with its partners.

During the financial year, TINC entered into an agreement with Macquarie Capital to acquire the beneficial ownership of the Irish Higher Education Buildings PPP project. The agreement involves TINC committing to investing approximately €42 million over the duration of the project.
With a total value of €250 million, the project is a public-private partnership (PPP) that aims to build six new university buildings in exchange for availability fees.
Once all six buildings have been completed, they will provide around 38,000m² of new campus space for an additional 5,000 students. Construction work is now ungoing, and the aim is for this PPP project to be completed in the course of 2025.
TINC has also joined the SPI.R0 consortium with construction companies Jan De Nul and Willemen. This consortium is responsible for developing the R0xA201 project, a public-private partnership on a DBFM (Design, Build, Finance & Maintain) basis with a term of approximately 33.5 years. This project with a total value of around €250 million involves the redevelopment and maintenance of the motorway interchange on the Brussels Ring at Brussels Airport in exchange for availability fees.
TINC has committed to invest around €15 million in this project in exchange for a 50% stake, with the construction partners holding the other 50%. The project is currently in the permitting stage.

The actual investment will be made after the project has obtained all the required permits and financing has been secured, which is expected to be in mid-2024.
The participations showed generally good operational performance during the financial year. Performance penalties and fines imposed by public authorities remained minimal (1.6% of total income) and were entirely passed on to the subcontractors. High inflation had almost no impact: the possible rise in maintenance costs was almost entirely passed on to the customers or was borne by subcontractors under the respective contracts.
Availability certificates were issued for all participations in the Public Infrastructure segment except the new Higher Education Buildings participation, for which the infrastructure is still under construction.
The Public Infrastructure segment comprises eight participations with a fair value of €154.5 million.
During the financial year, TINC made €42.0 million new investment commitments in this segment. This concerns the acquisition of 100% of the new participation Higher Education Buildings and the exit of the construction partner on the participation Social Housing Ireland.
During the financial year, TINC invested cash of €22.3 million in the Public Infrastructure segment. Part of this amount represents full payment of the committed capital in the Social Housing PPP Ireland participation, as well as the buyout of the 5% minority stake of the construction partner. TINC now holds 100% of the project. The remainder consists of part-payment of the purchase price for the shares in the new participation in Higher Education Buildings.
The portfolio result of the Public Infrastructure segment is €13.8 million. Cash income is €14.6 million.

TINC has long been aware of the urgency and scope of the climate challenge and the role of the energy transition. TINC invests in many renewable energy participations, showing commitment to the transition to a low-carbon society.
The participations of TINC include onshore windfarms and solar farms in Belgium, the Netherlands and Ireland with a capacity of approximately 400MW of which 53MW solar farms. This is the equivalent of the annual power consumption of about 340.000 households. TINC is also financing through subordinated loans two offshore windfarms in Belgium with a total capacity of approximately 380MW.
These participations obtain income from the sale of power, from subsidies, or from a combination of the two, whereby profitability is largely driven by the actual power generation, the evolution of the short and long-term power price, and the level of support under green energy subsidy mechanisms.
A solid and consistent sustainability policy on a European, national, and international regional level creates significant opportunities for investment and growth in energy infrastructure.
TINC closely follows developments in the energy transition, and plans to continue investing actively in this area in the future. TINC cooperates with renowned developers and operators in the energy transition domain.




| Country | Technology | Support mechanism for green energy |
|---|---|---|
| • The subsidy amount for onshore wind farms in Flanders is an amount per MWh produced that is paid over a period of 10 to 15 years in the form of Green Certificates (GSC), paid by the Flemish government. The subsidy amount per MWh is different for each wind farm, is not indexed and is paid on top of the sale of the electricity produced. For wind farms built from 2014 onwards, the mechanism is variable over time, and depends on the annual power prices in the market. When power prices in the market are higher, the subsidy amount is lower, and vice versa. As a result, the total receipts per MWh produced (power price + subsidy amount) are approximately the same during the subsidy period, unless there are such high power prices in the market for which no subsidy amount is received. |
||
| • The support mechanism in Wallonia allows renewable energy producers to enjoy Green Certificates (GSC) in addition to the sale of the produced electricity. The number of GSC received per MWh depends on three factors: the amount of CO2 saved, the evolution of ENDEX prices and a cap (called ceiling) that takes into account when the GSC are reserved. |
||
| Belgium | The subsidy amount for offshore wind farms in Belgium is a fixed amount per MWh produced that is paid by the Federal Government. This subsidy amount is paid over a longer period than the term of the subordinated loans of TINC. The subsidy amount per MWh produced is not indexed. The electricity produced is sold in the market. |
|
| The subsidy amount for solar parks in Flanders is a fixed amount per MWh produced that over a period of 20 years under the form of Green Certificatesis paid by the Flemish Government. The subsidy amount per MWh is different for each solar park and is not indexed. In addition, the owner of the solar park also receives a price for the power sold locally or on the market. |
||
| The Netherlands | The subsidy amount for onshore wind farms in the Netherlands is an amount per MWh produced that is paid over a period of 15 years by the Dutch Government under the "Subsidie Duurzame Energie" or "SDE". The subsidy amount per MWh is different for each wind farm and is not indexed. The subsidy amount is variable in time and depends on power prices in the market where the wind farm owner also receives a price for the power in the market. When power prices in the market are higher, the subsidy amount is lower, and vice versa. In addition, a minimum and maximum amount is set for the subsidy amount per wind farm per MWh produced. |
|
| Ireland | The subsidy amount for onshore wind farms in Ireland is a fixed amount per MWh produced that is paid over a 15-year period by the Irish government under the form of a fixed "Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff" or "REFIT". The subsidy amount per MWh varies by wind farm, is indexed, and includes the market price for the power. When the latter is higher than the subsidy amount, the higher market price is received. |

In the autumn of 2022, a key milestone was reached with construction completion and the start of operations. Delivered on schedule and on budget, the 80MW windfarm will supply power to Google's data centre at Eemshaven through Eneco.
Through the partnership with Storm, TINC invested for the first time in a windfarm in Wallonia. Located in Courrière, this 11MW windfarm is expected to be operational by June 2024.
Storm also saw the first turbine at one of its windfarms replaced by a higher capacity model, which is referred to as 'repowering', increasing the capacity from 5MW to 11.2MW. The old turbine will be given a second lease of life elsewhere in line with the circular economy principles.
The onshore windfarms and solar farms in which TINC has stakes generated 645GWh of power during the financial year. Wind and solar conditions were largely as projected.
The evolution in power prices is a key factor in the profitability of the energy participations. Over the first six months, power prices were both highly volatile and considerably higher than the historical average, before dropping slightly and stabilize at a lower level.
For now, it seems that the Flemish government's intension to phase out subsidies for certain older solar farms has been dropped.

The Energy Infrastructure segment comprises eleven participations with a fair value of €124.4 million.
During the financial year, TINC made €32 million of new investment commitments in this segment. This comprises an additional commitment of €5.0 million for new windfarms developed by Storm, an additional commitment of €12 million to Zelfstroom for the roll-out of solar power systems and a commitment of €15 million to acquire the remaining 27.27% stake in the Kroningswind windfarm (NL).
TINC effectively invested €25.8 million in respect of its commitments to Storm and Zelfstroom and to increase its stake in the Kroningswind windfarm to 100%.
The portfolio result of the Energy Infrastructure segment is €20.4 million. Cash receipts amount to €39 million.

DIGITALE INFRASTRUCTUUR

Digital infrastructure comprises technologies and systems that support the production, management, and use of digital data, services, and applications. Digital infrastructure is of vital importance to modern economic activities, social interaction, and public services and constitutes the foundation for a connected and datadriven world. United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Key components include network infrastructure, such as high-performance fibre optic networks and transmission masts for mobile networks, and data centres for data management and storage. The development of digital infrastructure is strongly driven by the relentless demand for technical services and data storage.
The revenue model for digital infrastructure typically consists of income from the rental of networks or storage capacity to a variety of customers and users.
Digital infrastructure often improves existing traditional infrastructure. Smart mobility, for example, adds value through real-time data exchange over connected networks. The use of digital infrastructure can, therefore, lead to more efficient and more effective use in various industries, including traditional infrastructure.
Digitalisation requires significant investment and is therefore a major priority in the investment and growth ambitions of TINC.

During the financial year, fibre company GlasDraad, set up by TINC in 2017, entered into a partnership with the Dutch company Glaspoort. A joint venture of KPN and APG (the administration and investment arm of Dutch public pension fund ABP), Glaspoort is, like GlasDraad, active in the roll-out of fibre optic networks in the Netherlands. This new partnership will enable both players in the fibre optic market to accelerate the further roll-out of super-fast internet in the Netherlands.
The partnership enables the two firms to pool their expertise, so that they can serve customers even better using the latest and best technologies. The open network will continue to be available to all telecommunication providers, which is a huge leap forward for Dutch households' and companies' internet experience and freedom of choice.
The two companies' activities are also seamlessly aligned. GlasDraad operates mainly in rural areas, while Glaspoort operates in smaller municipalities, in villages, and on industrial estates.
As part of the partnership Glaspoort acquires a 50% stake in GlasDraad with an option to acquire a 100% stake in the longer term at a price to be based on, among other things, the number of connections and the number of active users of the network.
Together, TINC and Glaspoort will continue to invest in the further growth of GlasDraad, with the goal of developing additional fibre networks in the Netherlands.

Datacenter United, a Belgian provider of high-quality collocation data centre services expands to nine data centres. It currently operates six data centres in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges, and is adding two more in the town of Hasselt in Limburg. A third new data centre is being built on Kortrijk's southern ring road to offer digital services both to the local Flemish and Walloon market and to customers in Northern France. This expansion underlines Datacenter United's ambition to become a leading data centre group in Belgium and will empower the company to serve a broad range of customers.
Together with asset management firm abrdn and NGE Concessions, TINC invested in NGE Fibre, a French company controlled by NGE Concessions (a subsidiary of construction and public works giant NGE) that holds stakes in two fibre optic network concessions in France.
TINC has invested €24 million to acquire a minority stake. It is first-ever investment of TINC in France.
The Digital Infrastructure segment comprises three participations with a fair value of €98.4 million.
During the inancial year, TINC made €45.2 million of new investment commitments in this segment. This concerns a commitment to invest an additional €18.4 million in GlasDraad, a commitment to invest €24.6 million in NGE Fibre, and a commitment to invest an additional €2.2 million in Datacenter United.
TINC effectively invested €36.6 million in relation to its commitments to GlasDraad, Datacenter United and NGE Fibre.
The portfolio result of the Digital Infrastructure segment is €15.2 million and includes a realised gain of €5.3 million on the partial disposal (50%) of GlasDraad Cash receipts amount to €40 million, almost all of which came from the partial disposal of the stake in GlasDraad (50%).

NGE Fibre is a bundle of operational fibre optic network concessions located in France's Grand Est region, near the Belgian border.
They form part of France's 'Plan Très Haut Débit' investment programme, which aims to roll out super-fast internet access in the French regions. With a joint coverage that extends to approximately 1.4 million homes, these networks are operated as 'neutral and open networks', which means that the infrastructure is available to rent or lease by any network operator looking to scale up their network capacity.

GlasDraad was founded in 2017 on the initiative of TINC to provide residents and businesses in rural parts of the Netherlands access to a super-fast, reliable, and affordable fibre network.
GlasDraad creates network connections based on actual demand from residents and companies who do not yet have broadband internet access. It then operates these networks based on an 'open access' model, which means that multiple service providers can provide customised content and packages to their customers over the GlasDraad network. GlasDraad receives recurring fees from internet service providers who deliver their content over the network to end users, as well as fees from end users.
In April 2023, GlasDraad sealed a partnership deal with Dutch company Glaspoort, a joint venture of KPN and APG (the administration and investment arm of Dutch public pension fund ABP), which is also active in the roll-out of fibre networks in the Netherlands. The two partners' geographic complementarity enables them to considerably accelerate the roll-out of super-fast fibre internet in the Netherlands: GlasDraad operates mainly in rural areas, while Glaspoort operates in smaller municipalities, villages, and industrial estates. The partnership will see Glaspoort acquire a 50% stake in GlasDraad, with an option to acquire a 100% stake in the longer term at a price to be based on, among other things, the number of connections and the number of active users of the network. TINC and Glaspoort will jointly invest in GlasDraad's development capacity in order to achieve their roll-out ambitions in the Netherlands.

The pooled expertise of Glaspoort and GlasDraad and the use of the latest technologies will undoubtedly benefit the customer experience. The two companies' open access network will offer access to all telecommunications providers.
Datacenter United owns and operates nine data centres in Belgium and provides scalable and reliable collocation services and related services (such as connectivity) to a wide range of customers. Datacenter United is the only operator in Belgium whose data centres are certified to Tier IV, the highest possible level of security.
Customers rent space at Datacenter United first and foremost to run their company's critical applications and data in optimal conditions in secure server racks (collocation services). Customers also get uptime guarantees for the infrastructure. Datacenter United offers its customers a complete service package from its centres in Antwerp, Oostkamp, Ghent, Hasselt, Kortrijk, and Brussels, ranging from physical migration to the data centre to all related services (energy supply including back-up, connectivity via fibre optic networks, and remote hands and eyes). Customers pay a fee for these services based on contracts with varying lengths.
Datacenter United is in the midst of an expansion drive that saw it acquire two data centres in Hasselt and build a new data centre in Kortrijk in 2023.

Réseau Abilis comprises a growing network of specialised residences that provide life-long residential care to people with special needs at 26 sites in Wallonia and Brussels in Belgium, as well as in France and the Netherlands.
The residences house about 1100 people with a wide range of intellectual disabilities, who live in care units ranging from single-person flats to larger living units, depending on their level of independence. The aim is to integrate the residents into the local community, to allow them to stay connected with family and relatives, and to ensure they receive high-quality care.
The residences are operated by around 800 full-time Réseau Abilis employees. For the often life-long care of its residents, Réseau Abilis receives contributions from public authorities. Réseau Abilis then pays an inflation-linked rental fee to TINC for the use of the residences under a long-term agreement. TINC also holds a minority stake in Réseau Abilis itself, which allows TINC to monitor the quality of care.



Headquartered in Blaricum (NL), GaragePark develops and operates innovative multifunctional storage and work spaces.

These units are an ideal place for SMEs to safely store equipment and stock or to carry out occasional work. GaragePark sets itself apart by offering proximity, 24/7 access, secure and low-maintenance storage units, and by generating its own energy through solar panels. The GaragePark concept is a tailor-made solution for small businesses such as plasterers, painters, plumbers, as well as for online retailers, event organisers, city logistics, and in general for all SME owners.
TINC has committed to invest €25 million over the period 2022-2025 as GaragePark develops new parks.


Net profit for the 18-month period amounts to €50.9 million or €1.40 per share, an increase of 103.81% compared to the previous financial year. The increase in net profit is partly attributable to the extended financial year 2022-2023 covering 18 months but is mainly due to a strong portfolio result that reflects the good operational and financial performance of the investment portfolio.

The portfolio result of €61.5 million over 18 months reflects the strong operational and financial performance of the investment portfolio. One key factor driving this strong portfolio result was the good prices at which, thanks to a forward-looking hedging policy, several participations were able to sell the power they generated during the financial year. The realised gains on the sale of the stake of TINC in Bioversneller NV (in August 2022) and on the partial sale of the stake in GlasDraad (April 2023) also contributed significantly to the portfolio result.
This portfolio result translates into and annualised, i.e. 12-month, portfolio return of 9.88%.

The portfolio result of €61.5 million consists of two components:

The remaining operating costs are as follows:
The cost ratio for the current financial year, calculated on an annual basis and not including one-off transaction costs, is 1.22%.
TINC received €126.0 million in cash flows from its investment portfolio. The increase in cash receipts is partly explained by the extended financial year of 18 months, but is mainly the result of the divestment of the full stake in Bioversneller and the partial divestment of the stake in GlasDraad.

The increase in the fair value is the net result of:
The fair value of the investment portfolio is calculated by applying a discount rate to the future cash flows from each individual participation. The weighted average discount rate was 8.10% at the end of the financial year, compared to 7.81% at the end of the previous financial year.
The increase is the net result of several changes. One of these changes was the increase of the applicable discount rate for specific participations, such as onshore windfarms. Also, active portfolio management such as the divestment of a number of participations led to changes to the composition of the investment portfolio. The market interest rate further increased slightly during the financial year. TINC has seen interest in high-quality infrastructure remain strong, which largely compensates for any potential upwards pressure on the discount rates due to rising interest rates.
The table below summarises the weighted-average discount rates applicable to the four segments as at 31 December 2023, compared to the end of the previous financial year.

Net asset value (NAV) amounts to €494.6 million or €13.60 per share as at 31 December 2023, an increase of 6.67% on the net asset value per share of €12.75 at the end of the previous financial year (30 June 2022). Note that this is after the €0.54 (4.2%) distribution per share to shareholders in October 2022. The combination of net increase in the net asset value and the distribution results in a total return for the financial year of 7.27% (annualised).

The decrease in deferred taxes is the result of the amortisation of a number of capitalised costs relating to past capital increases, in line with Belgian GAAP.
The cash position of TINC amounts to €27.4 million at the end of the financial year.
TINC is debt-free and has €150 million of undrawn contracted bank credit lines. The margin amounts to 125 basis points.
TINC also has, since 2022, a Sustainable Finance Framework that allows to issue different types of sustainable debt instruments.
The combination of €27.4 million in cash on hand and €150 million in contractual credit lines means that TINC has a total of €177.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at its disposal to fund contractual investment commitments and for general investment purposes.
During the financial year, TINC made €171.5 million of new investment commitments, both in existing participations (Storm, Zelfstroom, Datacenter United, Kroningswind windfarm, Social Housing PPP Ireland, GlasDraad) and in new participations (Yally, Obelisc, Higher Education Buildings, NGE Fibre).

TINC furthermore invested to €117.4 million in existing participations (Storm, Zelfstroom, Kroningswind windfarm, Social Housing Ireland, GlasDraad NV, Datacenter United, and GaragePark) and in new participations (Yally, Obelisc, Higher Education Buildings, NGE Fibre).
At the end of the financial year, a total of €112.2 million in contractual investment commitments remained outstanding. These commitments are expected to be fulfilled over the coming years as set out in the table above.
TINC has sufficient resources at the end of the financial year to meet the outstanding contractual investment commitments (see above).
Through the combination of the current participations and the outstanding contractual investment commitments, the investment portfolio of TINC will grow over time to approximately €580 million.
TINC committed to contributing €30 million to a funding round for Storm Group, which is a company that develops and sells renewable energy (B). Set to be invested in mid-2024, this amount will be used to, among other things, develop and build battery farms for electricity storage.
In carrying out its operations as an investment company, TINC is itself subject to risks, as are the participations it invests in.
Within the framework developed by the Supervisory Board, following a proposal by the Executive Board and advice from the Audit Committee, the Executive Board is responsible for risk management, covering internal monitoring and compliance with laws and regulations. Risks are managed through a process of continual identification, assessment, evaluation and mitigation. At least once a year, the Executive Board reports to the Supervisory Board on the general and financial risks, and on management and monitoring systems.
The main risks involved are set out below.
While a large number of participations saw their income grow as prices rose, persistent inflation may end up affecting the cost structure and, consequently, the profits of both TINC and its participations.
TINC does not have any participations with infrastructure located in regions that are currently in a state of warfare, ongoing violence, or political unrest. However, geopolitical events and tensions may impact the stability of financial markets or the economic system, as well as affect the availability of debt and/or capital instruments to TINC for the financing of its investment commitments.
At the end of the past financial year, TINC held approximately €27.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and had access to undrawn credit facilities totalling €150 million.
The objective of TINC is to create value by investing in infrastructure companies that generate cash flows for it. TINC is dependent on the ability of its participations to realise the expected cash flows and actually distribute them to TINC. This can be limited or prevented by macroeconomic and cyclical conditions, changing regulations and political developments. TINC pays due attention to monitoring the general economic situation and market developments so that it can assess the potential impact on its income in a timely fashion and take preventive action accordingly. Further diversification of its participations in terms of geography, sub-sectors, and business models should help TINC avoid becoming too exposed to changes in policy and legal frameworks or on cyclical factors in one particular region, sector, or business.
For new participations, TINC looks for investment opportunities in the market that offer sufficiently attractive conditions. There is a risk that there will not be enough such opportunities or that the opportunities will not be sufficiently attractive.
TINC has contractually committed itself to a number of financial engagements with existing and future participations. It has undertaken, on the one hand, to make additional investments in existing participations and, on the other, to acquire new participations at a later date. This comes with a certain liquidity risk.
TINC aligns its financing with its current financial commitments. The financing of investments can take the form of the issue of new shares and/or a credit facility, so that TINC has the option of responding flexibly to investment opportunities.
There is a credit risk with respect to the financial institutions where TINC holds its cash. This risk is mitigated through cautious treasury management that includes spreading cash over various accounts at different financial institutions with dependable ratings. This does not mean, however, that TINC would not be exposed to adverse impact if the financial system were to be affected by external circumstances.
TINC is largely dependent for its investment activities and the management of its investment portfolio on TDP NV, to whom the responsibility for the provision of investment and administrative services (see above chapter Results 2022- 2023) has been entrusted. The loss of TDP or significant changes in management or team of employees could have a (temporary) negative impact on the operations of TINC.
TINC also depends on third parties to manage its IT systems (hardware, software, network, storage systems). Human error, natural incidents or failure of the IT systems could compromise the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data. In addition, TINC could be subject to cyber-attacks on the integrity of its systems and data (computer viruses, malware, phishing) resulting in the IT systems not functioning (properly), data being unavailable and/or unauthorized access to data. Any of these situations may have a negative impact on the operation and/or reputation of TINC. TINC, together with its partners in IT systems and services, tries to ensure that the systems and access to them are adequately secured according to the most current modern standards.
The participations in which TINC invests are, to a greater or lesser extent, subject to financial, operational, regulatory and commercial risks.
The participations of TINC are subject, among other things, to credit risks with respect to the counterparties from whom they must receive their income. In many cases, the counterparty is the government or a government-affiliated party (PPP, party involved in an energy-subsidy scheme), or a company of considerable size, which limits the risks involved.
Liquidity risk, especially the risk that cash required will not be available, and the interest-rate risk, which is the risk that cash flows to TINC will be impacted by a higher interest burden, are addressed by ensuring financing for a longer period whenever possible, including through hedging strategies.
Participations are not exposed to any foreign-exchange risk because all income and financial liabilities are in euros.
Changes in regulations concerning support schemes, or in the fiscal or legal treatment of infrastructure and investments in it, could negatively affect the results of participations and thus the cash flows they generate for TINC.
A significant proportion of participations operate in regulated environments, such as energy infrastructure, PPPs, and healthcare, and benefit from subsidy mechanisms such as green-energy certificates. Infrastructure is also subject to specific regulations such as those covering health, safety and the environment.
Care institutions, such as specialised residences for people with special needs, are subject to specific risks. There is a risk that existing permits will not be renewed, or will be suspended or revoked. Furthermore, the rates the institutions charge are regulated, with the result that an unfavourable change in the social and benefits policy could have a negative impact on results.
The participations are subject to various tax laws. TINC structures and manages its business operations based on applicable tax laws and accounting standards and practices.
Any change to, or tightening or stricter enforcement of these regulations could have an impact on revenues or entail additional capital expenditures or operating costs, and could thus affect results, cash flows to TINC, and returns.
Perhaps the most significant operational risk is that the infrastructure will not be available or will not produce enough. To prevent this, the participations rely on suppliers and subcontractors that have been carefully selected on the basis of their experience, the quality of the work they do, their solvency, and so on. Where possible, TINC also ensures that it works with enough counterparties to prevent the concentration of risks and any excessive dependence. Furthermore, wherever possible, TINC has the insurance needed to cover contingencies such as business interruptions.
In the care sector, there is also a risk of difficulties in maintaining an appropriate quality of service and in recruiting and retaining skilled staff. This could have a negative impact on the image of, and growth prospects for, a given care institution or its cost structure.
It cannot be ruled out that infrastructure, once it is up and running, will have defects and become either partly or fully unavailable. Although the responsibility for this lies for the most part with the parties that the participations have brought in to realise and maintain the infrastructure, it could happen that these parties fail to solve certain technical issues due to technical, organisational or financial reasons. This could negatively impact the results generated by the participations in question.
The portfolio contains participations whose business model depends on demand from customers or those in need of care, or is subject to changes in pricing, e.g. electricity prices.
If demand (and thus revenues) were to drop below current expectations, this could adversely impact the cash flows to TINC and the valuation of a given participation.
Investing in the development of infrastructure involves additional risks. TINC usually has to provide financing from the early development phase, while the infrastructure generates cash flows only once it is completed and operational. The resulting risks include potential cost overruns and delays in completion (many of which are caused by factors outside TINC's direct control), as well as costs incurred for design and research, with no guarantee that the development will be completed.
When considering investing in the development of infrastructure, TINC assesses the economic, market and other conditions, as well as the value or potential value of the infrastructure. These assessments could turn out to be incorrect, which could have a negative impact on business operations, the financial situation, business results and the prospects for the infrastructure.
TINC intends to distribute a total of €30.5 million before tax to shareholders for the current extended financial year of 18 months, which means €0.84 per share before tax. The €0.84 distribution per share consists of a dividend of €0.23 per share (27.4% of the distribution) and a €0.61 capital reduction per share (72.6% of the total distributed amount). It is expected to be paid in May 2024, after the general meeting has approved the distribution.
On 26 October 2022, a distribution of €19.6 million (€3.3 million in dividend and €16.4 million in capital reduction) was paid to shareholders for the previous financial year, which ended on 30 June 2022. This was a distribution of €0.54 per share, which comprised a dividend of €0.09 per share (16.7% of the distribution) and a €0.45 capital reduction per share (83.3% of the total distributed amount).
The total number of issued shares is 36,363,637 at the end of the financial year.

TINC (hereinafter also 'the Company') is a participation company within the meaning of Article 3, 48° of the Belgian Act of April 19, 2014 on alternative collective investment institutions, and as such not subject to the provisions of this Act.
The present Statement relates to the corporate governance policy of TINC and has been drawn up in accordance with Articles 3:6 and 3:32 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code.
TINC applies the 2020 Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (the '2020 Code') as its benchmark for the organisation of its corporate governance structure, as required by law. The 2020 Code was published in the Belgian Official Gazette (BS, May 17, 2019) and can also be found on www.corporategovernancecommittee.be.
TINC has integrated the main aspects of its corporate governance policy in the Corporate Governance Charter. The Corporate Governance Charter can be found on its website (www.tincinvest.com) and is available free of charge at its registered office.
Belgian listed companies are required to comply with the 2020 Code, but may, with the exception of the principles, deviate from the provisions and guidelines to the extent that this is disclosed, together with the reasons for doing so, in the Corporate Governance Statement (the 'apply or explain' principle).
In the financial year ending on December 31, 2023, TINC applied the Corporate Governance Code, but given the specific situation of TINC deviated from the following recommendations:
The following table shows the shareholding structure of TINC, based on the transparency notifications received:
| Shareholder (31/12/2023) | Number of shares | % |
|---|---|---|
| Belfius Insurance NV | 3,887,007 | 10.69 |
| Gimv NV | 3,881,597 | 10.67 |
| Other shares | 28,595,033 | 78.64 |
| Total | 36,363,637 | 100.00 |
Pursuant to the Belgian Act of May 2, 2007 (the "Transparency Act"), the Articles of Association of TINC set the legal thresholds for transparency notifications (5% and multiples of 5% of the total voting rights).
TINC received no transparency declarations in the past financial year. Transparency declarations are available for consultation on the TINC website (www.tincinvest.com).
The Company's shares are freely transferable and all carry the same rights, with no restrictions in the articles of association on the exercise of voting rights.
At the end of the financial year, the registered capital of TINC amounted to €135.450.589,91 represented by 36,363,637 shares. During the financial year, a capital reduction took place in October 2022. The capital was reduced by €16,363,636.65 without cancelling any existing shares. No other securities were issued that could affect the capital or the number of shares. All shares are shares with voting rights
On October 21, 2020, the Extraordinary General Meeting renewed the authorisation to the Board to increase, during a period of 5 years from the date of publication of this authorisation (i.e. until November 16, 2025), the share capital of the Company by an amount of up to €168,177,863.21 by contribution in cash, in kind or by incorporation of reserves or issue premiums or by issue of convertible bonds and warrants. Upon making use of this authorisation, preferential subscription rights may be limited or overridden. No use was made of this authorisation during the past financial year.
On October 21, 2020, the Extraordinary General Meeting also renewed the authorisation to the governing board, during a period of 5 years from the date of publication of this authorisation (i.e. until November 16, 2025), to acquire, pledge or dispose of the Company's own shares, without the prior approval of the general meeting of shareholders. This may be done at a price per share not lower than 80% but also not higher than 120% of the closing stock price of the day immediately before the date of the transaction, and is limited to 20% of the total number of shares outstanding. No use was made of this authorisation during the past financial year.
• On October 21, 2020, the Extraordinary General Meeting resolved that the authorised capital (see above) can also be used upon receipt of a notice of a public takeover bid on the Company.
By decision of the same date, the governing body of the Company was also authorised to acquire the Company's own securities without the prior approval of the general meeting of shareholders, when deemed necessary to avoid a threatening and serious harm for the Company.
Both authorisations were valid for a period of three years following the publication of the authorisation (i.e. until November 16, 2023) and have since expired.
The annual general meeting of shareholders takes place, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on the third Wednesday of May at 10 a.m. In 2024, this will be on May 15, 2024.
The rules governing the convening of, admission to and course of the meeting, the exercise of voting rights and other details are found in the Articles of Association and the Corporate Governance Charter, which are both available on the Company's website (www.tincinvest.com).
The shares of TINC have been listed since May 12, 2015 on the continuous market of Euronext Brussels (ISIN code BE0974282148).
Financial services are provided by Belfius Bank.
TINC seeks to maintain the liquidity of the shares by taking part in roadshows and investor events with both institutional and private investors. TINC also maintains proper communication with analysts who follow the stock. During the past financial year these included analysts from Belfius Bank, KBC Securities, Degroof Petercam, Kempen and the Vlaamse Federatie van Beleggers (VFB). Additionally TINC has appointed KBC Securities as liquidity provider in order to ensure a sufficiently active market in TINC shares by maintaining adequate liquidity in normal market conditions.
The TINC website contains a separate section with information for investors and shareholders (www.tincinvest.com).
TINC is a public limited company under Belgian law with a sole director.
TINC Manager NV was appointed as Statutory Director for an indefinite period.

In the Articles of Association of TINC, TINC Manager is appointed as the sole director (the 'Statutory Director'). TINC Manager is a public limited company under Belgian law, the shares of which are held by TDP NV, a joint venture between Gimv and Belfius.
Pursuant to Article 2:55, first paragraph and second paragraph of the Companies and Associations Code, the Statutory Director has appointed Mr Manu Vandenbulcke, Chairman of the Management Board, as its permanent representative.
The Statutory Director has a dual governance model with a Supervisory Board and a Management Board that exercise jointly the mandate of statutory, sole director of TINC.
In executing their mandate, the Supervisory Board and the Management Board act in accordance with the corporate governance rules that apply to listed companies. Two subcommittees of the TINC Manager Supervisory Board have been set up: the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
At the date of this annual report, the Supervisory Board of TINC Manager, the Statutory Director, is composed of eight directors, four of whom are independent directors and four of whom are non-executive directors.
The four non-executive directors are appointed, in accordance with the articles of association of the Statutory Director, upon nomination by Gimv and Belfius, each of which has the right to propose candidates for two non-executive directors of the Statutory Director's Supervisory Board, as long as they hold jointly at least 10% of the voting rights in TINC. If the joint ownership of Gimv and Belfius Bank falls below 10% of the voting rights in the Company, they will each waive their respective rights to nominate one of the two directors. This will result in Gimv and Belfius Bank each nominating one director for election by the general meeting of shareholders of the Statutory Director. In that case, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, under the supervision of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, shall identify, recommend and present nominees, from whom the general meeting of shareholders shall appoint two directors.
In addition, the Supervisory Board is composed of four directors who meet the independence criteria set in accordance with Article 7:87 of the Code of Companies and Associations and the 2020 Code.
The current composition reflects the diversity policy in terms of competences, background, age and gender. Directors have backgrounds in audit, law, academia, banking, investment and/or business, among others. Four of the eight directors belong to a different gender than the other directors. TINC believes that bringing together people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives leads to a broader and more creative approach to problems and decision-making. Together with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board monitors diversity, in particular when making recommendations to TINC Manager's shareholder for the (re) appointment of directors.
Directors are appointed for a term of four years in accordance with the articles of association (without prejudice to the possibility of reappointment).
In June 2023, the mandate of two directors ended, namely Kathleen Defreyn and Katja Willems. Upon the advice of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the recommendation of the Supervisory Board in accordance with the Corporate Governance Charter, Ms Defreyn was reappointed and Ms
De Rouck, upon nomination by Belfius, was appointed as director by the general meeting of the Statutory Director, TINC Manager.
At the close of the past financial year, the Supervisory Board of the Statutory Director was composed of:
| Name | Year of birth | Function | Mandate lasts until | Committees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Philip Maeyaert | 1961 | Independent director – Chairman | 2024 | Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee |
| Kathleen Defreyn | 1970 | Independent director | 2027 | Chairman of the Audit Committee |
| Martine De Rouck | 1956 | Non-executive director | 2026 | |
| Elvira Haezendonck | 1973 | Independent director | 2026 | Member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee |
| Helga Van Peer | 1973 | Independent director | 2024 | Member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee |
| Kristof Vande Capelle | 1969 | Non-executive director | 2026 | |
| Marc Vercruysse | 1959 | Non-executive director | 2026 | Member of the Audit Committee Member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee |
| Peter Vermeiren | 1965 | Non-executive director | 2026 | Member of the Audit Committee Member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee |

The Supervisory Board is responsible for the overall policy and strategy of TINC and for all acts specifically reserved to the Supervisory Board by law or by the articles of association. The Supervisory Board is also responsible for the appointment and the supervision of the Management Board.
In addition, the articles of association of TINC Manager expressly grant its Supervisory Board the authority to take decisions regarding investments, divestitures and capital operations of companies within the investment portfolio.
During the past, extended financial year, the Supervisory Board, in the exercise of its mandate as Statutory Director of TINC, met eight times. The presence of the directors at the meetings and in the committees is set out in the remuneration report.
In its meetings the Supervisory Board discussed mainly the following topics:
For an overview of the attendance of individual directors, see chapter 6.7.2 in the remuneration report.
In dealing with these topics, the conflict of interest procedure for individual directors did not have to be applied.
During the extended financial year, the Supervisory Board decided on a number of investments involving a transaction with TDP NV, a related party of TINC. In particular, TDP NV is the parent company of TINC Manager, the sole director of TINC. Consequently, those transactions were subject to an assessment by a committee of independent directors as required by Art. 7:116 of the Companies and Associations Code. The committee was in each case composed of the four independent directors, who met repeatedly as part of the proceedings.
This concerns the following transactions:
A press release on these transactions was issued on 2 July 2023 and 17 October 2023 respectively, explaining the transactions in accordance with the legal provisions of the Companies and Associations Code. These press releases can be viewed on the company's website (www.tincinvest.com).
During the past extended financial year, the Supervisory Board, led by the chairman, undertook an evaluation of its composition, operation and effectiveness. Particular attention was paid to a balanced and diverse composition, alignment on strategy, the practical organisation of meetings, the flow of information from the subcommittees, sustainability, and compliance.
The Supervisory Board has two subcommittees are set up, i.e. the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
The Audit Committee consists of one independent director and two nonexecutive directors of the Statutory Director. The chairman is an independent director who is not the chairman of the Supervisory Board. In the past financial year, the Audit Committee consisted of the chairman, Kathleen Defreyn, who was reappointed to this role, Marc Vercruysse and Peter Vermeiren. With a chairman who, as CFO at various companies, has many years of accounting and auditing experience, and other members with a banking or CFO background, the Audit Committee has the necessary experience and expertise to fulfil its task.
In the past financial year, the Audit Committee met four times, all of which were attended by all or nearly all of the members. The Company's auditor was present when the interim and annual reports were discussed and reported to the committee on his findings regarding the auditing process for each of these reports.
The Audit Committee considered the process of financial reporting, the valuation of the investment portfolio, the semestrial and annual results, the independence of the statutory auditor and the selection of a new statutory auditor.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is composed of three independent directors and two non-executive directors. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee consisted in the past financial year of Philip Maeyaert (chairman), Elvira Haezendonck, Helga Van Peer, Marc Vercruysse and Peter Vermeiren.
In the past financial year, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee met five times. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee discussed the draft remuneration report in accordance with Article 3:6, §3 of the Companies and Associations Code, the evaluation of the Supervisory Board and its committees, the composition of the Board in the light of the (re)appointment of directors, compliance with the Corporate Governance Code, and the remuneration policy for directors.
The Management Board consists of at least three members, who need not be directors. The members are appointed and dismissed by the Supervisory Board, upon advice from the CEO (except as regards his own appointment), for an indefinite period of time.
The Management Board is, in execution of the mandate of TINC Manager as Statutory Director, authorised to perform all acts that are necessary or useful to achieving the Company's object and are not reserved by law or the articles of association to the Supervisory Board. As such, the articles of association of TINC Manager explicitly provide that the power to take decisions regarding investments, divestments and capital operations of companies within the investment portfolio is entrusted to the Supervisory Board.
The Chairman of the Management Board is the CEO who leads the Management Board and ensures its organization and proper functioning. Notwithstanding the fact that the Management Board is a collegial body and has collective responsibility, each Management Board member has specific tasks and responsibilities.

The Management Board is at the date of this annual report composed of:
Manu Vandenbulcke obtained a master's degree in Law at the KU Leuven in 1995, an LLM degree at the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa) in 1997 and a postgraduate degree in real estate (1999) and economics (2000) at the KU Leuven. He started his career in 1998 at Petercam Securities in Brussels. In 2000, he joined Macquarie Bank Ltd in London where he worked in structured finance and then corporate finance. Manu Vandenbulcke has been CEO of TDP NV since 2007.
Manu Vandenbulcke has been chairman of the Management Board and CEO of the Statutory Director with responsibility for general management since 2015.
Filip Audenaert has a diploma in Computer Sciences and a diploma in Commercial Engineering from the KU Leuven. He started his career at KBC Group in 1994 in the Corporate Banking department. Prior to joining TDP in 2010, he also worked in the Corporate Finance department of KBC Securities.
Filip Audenaert has been a member of the Management Board of the Statutory Director since 2015, with responsibility for financial management.
Bruno Laforce obtained a masters' degree in Law at the KU Leuven in 1992 and an LLM degree at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1997. He started his career as an attorney specialising in corporate, M&A and capital markets, advising on private equity investments and capital market transactions. He later held the position of corporate counsel at Telenet. Prior to joining TDP, he worked at Gimv as Senior Legal Counsel and then as Fund Manager.
Bruno Laforce has been a member of the Management Board and corporate secretary of the Statutory Director since 2015, with responsibility for legal affairs, compliance and public affairs.
For the support of its investment activities and the management of its investment portfolio, TINC relies on TDP NV. TDP NV is active in developing, managing and investing in infrastructure, has as shareholders Belfius and Gimv and is also the shareholder of TINC Manager, the sole director of TINC. TINC entered into two service agreements with TDP for this purpose.
Under this agreement TDP NV is responsible for providing support services such as identifying and analysing investment opportunities, coordinating the implementation of investment decisions and monitoring the legal, fiscal, and financial matters relating to the participation of the investments in the investment portfolio.
For the services it provides pursuant to this agreement, TDP receives an annual fee consisting of (i) a fixed amount (indexed) and (ii) a variable amount of 0,75% of outstanding investments, i.e. the sum of amounts (a) effectively invested, (b) committed to be invested (c) paid as transaction costs; minus all repayments received or impairments made (under BGAAP) in respect of such investments.1
TDP also provides the administration of TINC (including accounting and reporting, corporate housekeeping, communication and investor relations) under an Administrative Services Agreement for which TINC pays an annual fixed amount (indexed).1
In addition to the aforementioned service agreements, TINC has also entered into a Partnership agreement with TDP NV.
The Partnership agreement provides that TDP act as a central platform for investment opportunities and contains principles regarding the allocation of investment opportunities. TINC has the option to invest 50% in any investment opportunity that is identified at TDP. The remaining 50% of any such investment opportunity is available for investment by TDP (and/or by TDP-associated companies), as far as this complies with the applicable investment criteria.
The Partnership agreement aims to create synergies, resulting in a stronger market position for infrastructure investments. This makes it possible, among other things, to seize larger investment opportunities through co-investment.
To the extent that the investment opportunities of TINC relate to the acquisition of participations directly from TDP or affiliated parties of TDP, the legal procedure for conflicts of interest will be applied. For the application of this procedure in the last financial year, see above under 1.3.2.4.
1 For an overview of the amounts paid under these agreements, see chapter Financial Statements.
The annual shareholders' meeting of October 21, 2020 reappointed Ernst & Young Bedrijfsrevisoren CVBA, represented by Mr. Ronald Van den Ecker, as its statutory auditor. Its mandate ends after the annual shareholders meeting in May 2024. Total fees of EY in respect of the past financial year amounted to €176,698, composed of fees of €176,123 charged to TINC and/or its subsidiaries for the exercise of the statutory auditor's mandate and fees for non-audit services of €575. Non-audit services provided by entities affiliated with the network of the auditor amount to €91,500.
As EY Bedrijfsrevisoren has reached the statutory maximum term for an auditor's mandate, it will be proposed to the general meeting, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee, to appoint BDO Bedrijfsrevisoren, represented by Ms Veerle Catry as the new auditor.
The Supervisory Board has decided not to create an internal audit function for the time being, since the size of the business does not justify a full-time position, but assesses the possible need to do so on an annual basis.
This does not prevent TINC, as a listed company, being attentive to business risk management. This is a process in which all levels of the company are involved in identifying potential events that could affect the company. TINC takes care to manage these, so that they fall within the risk appetite and so that reasonable assurance can be offered that the company will achieve its business objectives (cf. the definition used by COSO, Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission).
In line with the COSO enterprise risk management framework, TINC operates as follows with respect, among other things, to the following categories of business objectives:
• Operational: a Portfolio Status Report (containing a matrix of controls and action and attention points) is gone through and discussed on a regular basis in the Management Board. This Portfolio Status Report is established on the basis of interviews with the persons responsible for monitoring and managing the various investments in the portfolio;
• Reporting: TINC has developed strict systems to optimise the timely processing and accuracy of available data, and to interconnect operating and financial data with its accounting treatment and subsequent reporting. A summary of key operating and financial data is regularly reported to and discussed with the Supervisory Board and, if applicable, its advisory committees;
An overview of the main risks to which TINC is subject is described elsewhere in this report.
The Statutory Director is entitled, under the articles of association, to an annual remuneration consisting of the following components:
a) A variable amount equal to 4% of the net result of the Company before the remuneration of the Statutory Director, before tax, excluding variations in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities (plus VAT, if applicable); and
(percentages are applied cumulatively)
The fee includes VAT (if applicable). This over-performance fee has been in place since the IPO but has never been paid out so far due to non-fulfilment of the conditions. In particular, the dividend part of the annual distribution made by TINC has never exceeded 4.5% of the IPO price.
The General Meeting of Shareholders of the Statutory Director decides on the remuneration of directors. During the past financial year, it was decided that with effect from 1 July 2023, all directors will be entitled to remuneration and not only the independent directors.
In addition, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee conducted an evaluation of the existing remuneration policy on the basis of, on the one hand, the latest available Guberna report on the remuneration of non-executive directors in Belgian listed companies and, on the other hand, a benchmarking with the remuneration policy of a number of companies of a similar size or nature listed on Euronext Belgium. On this basis, a proposal was drawn up whereby greater weight is given to the fixed annual basic remuneration than to the attendance fee per meeting.
Upon the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board submitted a proposal for an updated directors' remuneration policy to the general meeting of the Statutory Director, which adopted the new remuneration policy for members of the Supervisory Board as follows:
The directors are not remunerated in shares (see 1.1. of this Corporate Governance Statement).
There are no contracts or arrangements entered into by TINC Manager with directors containing specific notice periods, additional pension plans, termination conditions or severance payments.
For the past financial year, the following attendances were recorded and corresponding fees paid:
| Director | Fixed remuneration | Supervisory Board | Committees | Total remuneration* | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance | Attendance fee* | Attendance | Attendance fee* | |||
| Philip Maeyaert (chair) | 30,000 | 7/7 | 7,000 | 5/5 | 2,500 | 39,500 |

Management Board members are not remunerated by TINC Manager for their mandates at TINC Manager but receive remuneration from TDP NV. Accordingly, no contracts or arrangements have been entered into by TINC Manager with members of the Management Board containing specific notice periods, additional pension schemes, termination conditions or severance payments.
Infrastructure is the backbone of a modern society, and is often the catalyst for various forms of development - economic, social and personal development. That development is a gradual process and only becomes meaningful if it brings continuous improvement, and if it is anchored in a sustainable philosophy.
TINC is committed to sustainable development by helping to build infrastructure that not only meets the needs of today but also anticipates the needs of future generations. TINC summarises this ambition in its motto: "Invest in the world of tomorrow".
Infrastructure that enables sustainable development must itself embrace sustainability. This means that every stage of its lifecycle – from planning and design to operation and eventual decommissioning – must comply with principles that ensures economic, financial, social, environmental and institutional sustainability.1
The core of TINC's sustainability policy is based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN Sustainable Development or UN SDGs), a comprehensive set of goals that aim at sustainable development and are also a reference model (sdgs.un.org/goals).
The investment strategy of TINC is based on four themes, four important pillars underpinning that sustainable development.
What is sustainable infastructure?
The portfolio investments of TINC are therefore located in four focus areas, namely public infrastructure, energy infrastructure, digital infrastructure and Selective Real Estate.
By investing in these focus areas, TINC, as a long-term investor, contributes to the fulfilment of several of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations.

TINC uses the Sustainable Development Goals as a benchmark and has selected the development goals that are most closely related to its activities and on which it can have an impact, either within its own organisation or as a responsible investor through its investment portfolio.

• conducting corporate governance and respecting the rule of law (including through policies on acting with integrity, anti-corruption, etc.) as a responsible investor

TINC is a listed investment entity whose management is entrusted to a sole director, TINC Manager NV.
Governance by TINC Manager is characterised by the following features:
TINC does not have staff of its own but relies on TDP NV to perform a number of management tasks (see Corporate Governance Statement).
TDP is a Belgian company with Belfius and Gimv as shareholders and has the following characteristics:
TDP also pays attention to the environment and especially the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. The vehicle fleet has already been largely electrified and will be 100% electric in the next few years. The company operates from a building that is equipped with solar panels and has a green power contract, reducing CO₂ emissions as much as possible. The CO₂ emissions of TDP are part of the scope 3 emissions of TINC.
| (in tonnes of CO₂) | 2021 | 2022* | 2023* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Scope 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Scope 3 (partial) | 52.15 | 151.97 | 146.95 |
| Total emissions | 52.15 | 151.97 | 146.95 |
* based on a full scope 1, 2 and 3 analysis at TDP
In carrying out its activities, TINC implements the sustainability policy both in the deployment of funds in the investment portfolio (assets side) and in the raising of funds (liabilities side). As a listed infrastructure investment company, TINC thereby seeks to maintain an open and trustworthy relationship with its stakeholders (see box for an overview of the stakeholders of TINC).
TINC is actively involved in different phases of the infrastructure lifecycle within in its participations. Each phase has its own dynamics, characteristics and challenges in terms of sustainable and responsible investment.
3 As TINC has no staff of its own, no office buildings and only portfolio investments, only categories 1 and 15 of scope 3 are applicable. This table includes only category 1 (purchased goods and services) and is specifically limited to services provided by TDP. Figures are calculated according to the hybrid method.
A new investment in an infrastructure company is preceded by a, usually lengthy, process of careful assessment and consideration of the merits and associated risks. This investment process involves a number of aspects that touch on sustainability.
Each new investment opportunity is assessed as to whether it fits within the investment policy of TINC. TINC applies a number of grounds for exclusion.
Therefore, in accordance with its Sustainability Policy, TINC will not allocate investment money to
If no grounds for exclusion apply and TINC considers that the investment potentially fits within the investment policy, in a subsequent phase the investment opportunity is subjected to a thorough investigation ('due diligence'). As part of this due diligence, TINC uses questionnaires to get a view on the sustainability content of the investment opportunity by means of general and sector-specific questions. The analysis of the responses will be taken into account by TINC in the final assessment of the investment proposal by the competent bodies.
In addition, for each new investment, an analysis is made of the impact (positive or negative) of the investment on the Sustainable Development Goals. This allows TINC to monitor the impact and take action to prevent negative effects or strengthen positive ones. See opposite for examples relating to a recent new investment.

While participation its portfolio investments, TINC also pays attention to sustainability aspects specific to or linked to each participation. Where possible, TINC makes use of the central guiding role it often plays in its portfolio companies.
Particularly in participations where TINC is the sole shareholder, TINC generally takes responsibility for the management and administration of the infrastructure company, with the assistance of specialist subcontractors (in operational, financial, legal and administrative matters).
In the participations in which TINC is a co-shareholder, TINC (or its representatives) holds one or more directorships, thus being actively involved in decision-making. Alternatively, in the case of smaller minority participations, agreements are made with other shareholders on participation in major decisions.
TINC is not represented in the governing bodies of investments where only debt financing is provided.
From that active role as director and shareholder, TINC also interacts with its portfolio companies on sustainability to encourage further awareness and action.
This manifests itself, for example, in awareness of the importance of greenhouse gas emissions for the climate.
Participations in the investment portfolio contribute to fulfilling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.*

In the past financial year, a large number of participations took steps to measure their CO₂ emissions, with a view to examining opportunities to reduce them. In more than half of the participations (about 70% of the portfolio in terms of fair value), steps have been taken to regularly measure and monitor CO₂ emissions.
Some initial observations can already be made:
• CO₂ emissions are of course unavoidable in infrastructure construction, both as a result of the production of the required materials and during the construction process.
• The business of many portfolio companies is actively intended to avoid CO₂ emissions. This is particularly the case for Energy Infrastructure participations which are active in wind and solar energy production. These energy investments produced 645GWh of renewable energy in the past financial year.
TINC intends to communicate further on its (in)direct CO₂ emissions once measurements at its participations are sufficiently well-established and measurements are available at a sufficient number of participations.
TINC aims to hold investments over a longer period, if possible over the full lifetime of the underlying infrastructure. There are no participations whose infrastructure will reach the end of its useful life in the immediate future. TINC intends to develop a policy on this in the coming period.
To the extent that divestments do occur, for example through the sale of a participation, the divestment process is surrounded by adequate safeguards, including the application of anti-money laundering and terrorist financing policies.
TINC has taken steps towards sustainability in terms of its financing. At the end of the last financial year, TINC was fully equity financed. To provide funding for the further growth of the portfolio, TINC has developed a framework for raising debt financing of a sustainable nature for investments within the investment policy and focus areas of TINC (the 'Sustainable Finance Framework'). The aim is to make investments that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically with regard to social and environmental aspects.
The Sustainable Finance Framework ('SFF') was prepared in line with the ICMA Green Bond Principles 2021, the Social Bond Principles 2021, the Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021 and the LMA Green Loan Principles 2021 and Social Loan Principles 2021. The framework of the SFF was reviewed by an independent organisation (ISS Corporate Services).
Based on the SFF, TINC can issue debt instruments such as commercial paper, debt securities, loans, bonds, etc. specifically intended for investments of a sustainable nature.
Both the SFF and its independent assessment are available on the website of TINC.
In carrying out its activities, TINC enters into a dialogue with various stakeholders, aiming for transparent communication and a mutually enriching exchange of views to promote cooperation. This includes a focus on sustainability.
| Interested party | |
|---|---|
| (stakeholder) | Description of the interaction |
| Shareholders | TINC interacts with its shareholders; it does so not only at the annual general meeting, open to all shareholders, but also with institutional shareholders (at roadshows) and private investors at fairs or investor days. |
| Supervisory Board | TINC has a sole director with a dual board structure (see Corporate Governance Statement). This structure, and the fact that the Supervisory Board also has the authority for investment decisions, ensures good interaction between the directors, with their diversity of backgrounds, experience and skills, and the members of the Management Board in whose hands the operational responsibility lies. |
| Participations | In most participations, TINC is represented on the board of directors, where it interacts with the other directors and shareholders. |
| Debt financiers | TINC itself has [no] debt position towards banks. Nevertheless, TINC has provided for the possibility to raise sustainable debt financing through the independently reviewed Sustainable Finance Framework. The companies in the portfolio generally obtain debt financing from various banks or banking syndicates. Contacts with them are maintained via, among other things, periodic and ad hoc reporting. |
| Financial institutions | TINC and its investees communicate frequently with the financial institutions with which they have relationships, including within the framework of money laundering prevention rules. |
| Sector organisations | TINC keeps in touch with what is happening in the infrastructure sector and attaches importance to the exchange of ideas; TINC and/or TDP are members of the IPFA (International Project Finance Association), BVA (Belgian Venture Capital Association), GLIO (Global Listed Infrastructure Organisation) and the Guberna Institute, among others. |
| Government and administration |
As a listed company, TINC falls under the supervision of the FSMA and maintains regular contacts. |
| Analysts | Following the announcement of the half-year and annual results and other press releases, TINC maintains a regular and proper relationship with the analysts monitoring the stock. |


During the past financial year, TDP/TINC reported for the first time under the reporting framework of the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UNPRI). This resulted in a first Private Assessment Report. Good scores have already been obtained for the 'Sustainability policy, governance and strategy' and 'Confidence-building measures' components. For the modules on applicable asset classes, further refinement of inputs is needed, which is planned for the next reporting in 2024.
Rating agencies regularly review TINC, offering investors insight into the sustainability aspects they consider important. TINC will, where useful and possible, interact with such rating agencies to promote the most accurate and complete representation of sustainability characteristics.

The increase in reserves during the past financial year (compared to June 30, 2022) amounts to €55,770,181. This increase is the net result of (a) a decrease due to payment of a dividend (€3,272,727), (b) a decrease in the deferred tax asset, recognised directly in equity, due to the pro rata amortisation of the costs related to the previous capital increases (€291,211), and (c) the increase due to the transfer of part of the retained earnings to available reserves (€59,334,119).
Compared to June 30, 2022, retained earnings decreased by €8,435,106. The net decrease is made up of total comprehensive income of €50,899,013, less the addition to the available reserves of €59,334,119.

The consolidated financial statements of TINC SA (hereinafter 'TINC') for the extended financial year of 18 months ending December 31, 2023 were authorised for issue by resolution of the Statutory Director on March 4, 2024. TINC is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Belgium whose shares are publicly traded. Its registered office is located at Karel Oomsstraat 37, 2018 Antwerp, Belgium.
TINC is an investment company that takes interests in participations that are active in the construction and operation of infrastructure.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical-cost basis, except for investments held at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the functional currency of the Company, and all values are rounded to the nearest euro, except when otherwise indicated. The Company presents its balance sheet in order of current and non-current assets and liabilities.
On first-time adoption of IFRS as adopted by the European Union, TINC considered the application of the amendments to IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements), IFRS 12 (Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities) and IAS 27 (Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements) regarding investment entities (the 'Amendments') and concluded that the TINC meets the definition of an investment entity as set out within IFRS 10. For the extended financial year of 18 months ending on December 31, 2023, this remains the case.
Under IFRS 10 an investment entity is an entity which:
In assessing whether it meets the definition of an investment entity, an entity must consider whether it has the following typical characteristics of an investment entity :
TINC has adopted the Amendments as from the financial year ended December 31, 2014 further to an assessment by TINC taking into account that:
This is the case with respect to all DBFM/PPP participations (where the infrastructure will revert to the public authority at the end of the project life) as well as for the energy participations (where the infrastructure will revert to the landowner or will be removed at the end of the project life) and to a large respect for other participations.
Once an investment programme within a certain participation has been completed, TINC will not add additional Infrastructure assets to such participation unless inextricably connected to the underlying Infrastructure asset (e.g. the maintenance, modifications, renovations or pre-agreed/ scheduled expansion of the existing Infrastructure asset). Upon final expiry of all rights in relation to the underlying Infrastructure assets and/or removal of the Infrastructure assets from the plot of land, the company participation such Infrastructure assets will be wound up and liquidated.
As a consequence TINC, as an investment company, measures all investments in participations (including subsidiaries thereof which it controls and joint ventures and associates) at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
The fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows generated by the participations at an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used are based on market discount rates for similar assets adjusted with an appropriate premium to reflect specific risks or the phase of the underlying Infrastructure assets.
See below ('determination of fair value') for more information about the measurement procedure.
Associates are undertakings in which TINC has significant influence over the financial and operating policies, but which it does not control. Given that TINC is an investment company, these investments are measured at fair value, in accordance with IAS 28, par. 18, and are presented as financial assets – equity participations and measured at fair value through profit and loss. Changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period of the change.
Financing costs are recorded in the income statement as soon as incurred.
In accordance with the exception under IFRS 10, the company does not consolidate subsidiaries in the financial statements The company measures unconsolidated subsidiaries at FVPL.
When TINC invests in the equity of a company, this regards a participation in the share capital of that company. In most cases, such participation goes together with a participation in the company's shareholder loan. Both are recognised together on the balance sheet in 'Investments at fair value through profit and loss'.
For valuation purposes a participation in the equity and shareholder loan of a company are taken together as they are economically to be considered as one.
When TINC grants a loan to a company without participating in the equity, this loan is also valued at fair value and is included under the heading 'Investments at fair value with recognition of changes in value in the income statement'.
Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the investment at the date of disposal.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. Regular way purchases or sales are contractual purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
TINC applies the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments, by valuation technique.
Level 1: listed (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: other methods in which all variables have a significant effect on the calculated fair value and are observable, either directly or indirectly; Level 3: techniques using variables which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, but are not based on observable market data.
All participations of TINC are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
In accordance with IFRS 13, fair value is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of an active market for a financial instrument, TINC uses valuation models. Here, TINC follows the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines. The valuation methodologies are applied consistently from period to period, except where a change would result in a better estimate of fair value.
Participations in infrastructure companies are often characterised by a high degree of long-term visibility on expected future cash flows. This visibility is the result of long-term contracts, a regulated framework, and/or the strategic position of the infrastructure. At each valuation exercise the expected long-term future cash flows of each underlying company are first updated based on its recent financial figures and updated assumptions. The resulting cash flows to TINC are then calculated based on the participation in each of the companies.
The updated expected future long-term cash flows related to each of TINC's participations are discounted at a market discount rate. This discount rate is reflective of the participation's risk rating, which is subject to the company's profile and to the investment instrument itself (an equity participation or a loan).
The profile of an infrastructure company is determined by potential fluctuations in revenues and expenses, the presence and robustness of long-term contracts and the quality of the counterparties thereto, the refinancing risk of the debt, etc. Recent transactions between market participants can provide an indication of a market discount rate.
When an equity participation is accompanied by a shareholder loan, all expected future cash flows related to both investment instruments are discounted together at a market discount rate.
The resulting fair value is considered the fair value of the participation and is recognised on the balance sheet under 'Investments at fair value through profit and loss'. In case of a recent transaction, the transaction value will initially be applied.
Changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement as unrealised gains or losses.
On the divestment of a participation, the capital gain or loss, calculated as the difference between the sale price and the fair value on the balance sheet at the time of the sale, is recognised as a realised gain or loss in the income statement.
Financial assets and liabilities are derecognised from the accounting records whenever TINC no longer manages the contractual rights attached to them. It does this when the financial assets or liabilities are sold or when the cash flows attributable to these assets are transferred to an independent third party.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recorded at the transaction date.
Other non-current and current assets are measured at amortised cost.
Current taxes are based on the results of TINC and are calculated according to the local tax rules.
Deferred income tax is provided, based on the liability method, on all temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences between the taxable base for assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, except:
Deferred taxes are recognized for all deductible temporary differences. TINC does recognize deferred tax assets on any unused tax credits and any unused tax losses.
A deferred tax asset will be recognised for tax losses and tax credits as far as it is probable that they can be offset against future taxable profit.
Cash and cash equivalents are cash, bank deposits and liquid assets. These are all treasury resources held in cash or on a bank deposit. These products are therefore reported at nominal value.
Provisions are recognised when TINC has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations and a reliable estimate of the amounts can be made. Where TINC expects an amount which has been provided for to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as an asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable TINC will receive economic benefits and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Dividend revenue is recognised on the date on which TINC's right to receive the payment is established. Dividend revenue is presented gross of any nonrecoverable withparticipation taxes, which are disclosed separately in the statement of comprehensive income.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially valued at fair value. Subsequently, the loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends proposed by the Statutory Manager are not recorded in the financial statements until they have been approved by the shareholders at the annual General Meeting.
TINC calculates both basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with IAS 33. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of warrants and stock options (if any) outstanding during the period.
TINC typically incurs various costs in issuing or acquiring its own equity instruments. Those costs might include registration and other regulatory fees, amounts paid to legal, accounting and other professional advisers, printing costs and stamp duties. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided. Other costs related to public offerings of equity instruments (such as road shows and other marketing initiatives) are recognised as an expense.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, which is the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. Currently the Company operates as a single segment.
Several amendments apply for the first time in 2023, but do not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of TINC. TINC has not early-adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.
The nature and the impact of each of the following new standards, amendments and/or interpretations are described below:
The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies.
Guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy disclosures.
These amendments had no impact on TINC's consolidated financial statements.
The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates. Accounting estimates are defined as 'monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty'.
The amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.
These amendments had no impact on TINC's consolidated financial statements.
The Amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12 Income Taxes, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The Amendments also clarify that where payments that settle a liability are deductible for tax purposes, it is a matter of judgement (having considered the applicable tax law) whether such deductions are attributable for tax purposes to the liability recognised in the financial statements (and interest expense) or to the related asset component (and interest expense). This judgement is
important in determining whether any temporary differences exist on initial recognition of the asset and liability.
The amendments apply prospectively to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.
These amendments had no impact on TINC's consolidated financial statements.
The Amendments introduce:
The Amendments clarify that IAS 12 applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules published by the OECD, including tax law that implements qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes. The Amendments introduce a mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognising and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
The Amendments require an entity to disclose that it has applied the exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. An entity is required to separately disclose its current tax expense (income) related to Pillar Two income taxes, in the periods when the legislation is effective, as this helps users of financial statements understand the relative level of those taxes.
The temporary exception from recognition and disclosure of information about deferred taxes and the requirement to disclose the application of the exception, applies immediately and retrospectively upon issue of the Amendments. The disclosure of the current tax expense related to Pillar Two income taxes and the disclosures in relation to periods before the legislation is effective and required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, but are not required for any interim period ending on or before 31 December 2023.
TINC is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice.
The amendment added a transition option for a 'classification overlay' to address possible accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities in the comparative information presented on initial application of IFRS 17. If an entity elects to apply the classification overlay, it can only do so for comparative periods to which it applies IFRS 17 (i.e., from transition date to the date of initial application of IFRS 17). No amendments have been made to the transition requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
The amendment is effective for the reporting period in which IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts are initially applied.
These amendments had no impact on TINC's consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 17, a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4) that was issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects
The core of IFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:
IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with comparative figures required.
This standard is not applicable to TINC.
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of TINC's financial statements are disclosed below. TINC intends to adopt these standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.
The amendments clarify the criteria for determining whether to classify a liability as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
there is an exception to the requirement that settlement of liabilities by way of own equity instruments impacts the classification of liabilities.
• Disclosures - the amendments require additional disclosures by an entity that classifies liabilities arising from loan arrangements as non-current when it has a right to defer settlement of those liabilities that are subject to the entity complying with future covenants within twelve months.
Companies are required to apply the amendments for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
TINC is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice.
The amendments require an entity to provide information about the impact of supplier finance arrangements on liabilities and cash flows, including:
1 Not yet endorsed by the EU as per 20 December 2023
The amendments require an entity to aggregate information about its supplier finance arrangements, however, the entity must disaggregate information about unusual or unique terms and conditions of individual arrangements when they are dissimilar. Furthermore the amendments require that explanatory information about payment due dates, when those payment due date ranges are wide, to be disaggregated.
The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed.
TINC is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice.
The amendments specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable.
The amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025 and can be applied earlier, in which case, an entity is required to disclose that fact. However, an entity cannot restate comparative information
TINC is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice.
The amendments specify how a seller-lessee measures the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction in a way that it does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained. The amendment does not prescribe specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities arising from a leaseback. The initial measurement of the lease liability arising from a leaseback may result in a seller-lessee determining 'lease payments' that are different from the general definition of lease payments in Appendix A of IFRS 16. The seller-lessee will need to develop and apply an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
Companies are required to apply the amendments for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
TINC is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice.

The sum of interests, dividends and revenues from participations during the extended financial year amounts to €48,586,200. This is an increase of €28,201,983 compared to the previous financial year. This increase is largely explained by the extended financial year 2022-2023 which includes 18 months.
Dividends received amount to €35,634,123, an increase of €24,394,283 compared to the previous financial year. The increase in dividends is explained by the predominantly good financial and operational performance of the participations and includes a significant contribution from the participation Parkeergarage Eemplein, where a one-time dividend of €10,000,000 was received following a refinancing.
Interest income amounts to €11,745,044, an increase of €3,122,472 compared to the previous financial year. Interest income includes (i) capitalized interest included in the fair value of participations and (ii) interest either received in cash or scheduled to be received in cash shortly after the end of the previous financial year.
Revenue amounts to €1,207,033, an increase of €685,227 over the previous financial year. This sum consists of revenues from participations including mandate fees or fees from transactions.

The remaining amount of €1,557,613 represents an increase in portfolio income due at the end of the reporting period but not yet received.
TINC applies the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments, by valuation method.

| Investment portfolio | - | - | 415,436,602 | 415,436,602 |
All of TINC's participations are considered level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. All participations in level 3, except for Zelfstroom, Yally and Garagepark are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology whereby future cash flows which are expected to be received by TINC from its participations are discounted at a market discount rate. This valuation technique has been consistently applied to every investment. In case of Garagepark, Zelfstroom and Yally the transaction value is considered as fair value.
Projected future cash flows to TINC from each participation are generated through detailed project-specific financial models, including long-term projections of gross revenues, operating expenses, debt service obligations and taxes. The expected cash flows to TINC are often sustainable as the gross revenues within the participations are often based on long term contracts, a regulated environment or a strategic position of the infrastructure. The expected cash flows to TINC are partially based on management estimation, relating to both general assumptions applied across all participations and to specific assumptions applicable for a single participation or a limited group of participations.
TINC classifies investments in the following categories:
The calculation of the fair value of TINC's participations is based on:
The expected future cash flows to TINC are calculated based on a specific and detailed financial model per participation. Each financial model reflects all expected future revenues and costs over the lifetime of the underlying infrastructure. The expected future cash flows to TINC are thus the net cash flows from TINC's participations after payment of all operating costs and debt obligations within the participations. Debt obligations at participation level are typically fixed for the entire duration of the underlying infrastructure, without refinancing risk. Interest on debt obligations is typically fixed, via hedging, for the entire duration of the financing, to prevent future cash flows for TINC from being impacted by rising interest rates.
The expected future income and expenses of each participation are based on the specific revenue model of that particular participation. These revenues and costs are usually quite predictable over the long term, which is a typical characteristic of infrastructure.
The business model of participations in Public Infrastructure is based on the availability of the infrastructure. When the infrastructure is not available for use, penalty points or discounts are imposed by the contracting authority. These are charged on the basis of contractual agreements and borne by the subcontractors or operational partners involved to whom responsibility for the
long-term (maintenance) obligations was entrusted. Participations in Public Infrastructure have a life of between 20 and 35 years. At the end of the project life, the infrastructure is transferred to the grantor(s)/public partner(s). The sharp increase in the expected cash flows at the end of the life (see graph below) is the result of restrictions imposed by the debt providers, as a result of which cash distributions from the participations to the shareholders are subordinated to all other cash flows within the participations. After repayment of debt financing, the available cash accrues in full to shareholders.
The business model of the participations in Energy Infrastructure is predominantly based on production volumes, applicable support measures for green power and power prices in the market. An increase in power prices means that expected revenues increase. These revenues are often partially offset by a corresponding decrease in allowances from support measures, which is a feature of most renewable energy subsidy schemes. Loans to energy companies with production- and price-related revenues are less affected by changes in revenues thanks to the equity buffer. A life of 20 to 25 years is generally used for the participations in Energy Infrastructure. This corresponds to the average duration of user rights related to the land on which the infrastructure is built and/or to the technical lifetime of the installations.
At the end of this period, the energy infrastructure is removed or passes to the landowner(s). The debt financing in Energy Infrastructure participations is also on an instalment basis and usually has a term slightly shorter than the duration of the applicable support measures. It is fully repaid at the end of that period.
Over the reporting period, TINC received cash flows of €126,030,764 in the form of dividends, interest, fees, realised gains, repayments and divestments of capital and loans. These cash flows underpin the distribution policy of TINC.
The following charts provide an indicative overview of the sum of the cash flows that TINC expects to receive per type of infrastructure over the expected lifetime of the participations, calculated at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022. The charts do not include outstanding contractual investment commitments to existing participations and to contracted new participations, nor any other possible new additional investments.

The expected cash flows within each of the participations are based on longterm contracts, a regulated environment and/or a strategic position, which is specific to infrastructure.
In determining the estimated future cash flows for the purpose of valuing the participations, the following assumptions, among others, are used:
• The estimated future power production (wind and solar) is based on historical production figures, where available, and on independent studies that estimate the expected amount of wind and solar and the estimated production volume on a probability scale. At December 31, 2023, this results in FLH (Full Load Hours) of 2,430 MWh/MW (compared to 2,584 MWh/MW at June 30, 2022) for the entire energy portfolio, calculated as an average of the estimated future production weighted by the production capacity of each stake. The current estimate of 2,430 MWh/MW is in line with the portfolio-level P50-probability scenario. The P50-probability scenario corresponds to an estimated production (depending on future sunshine or wind levels) that has a 50% probability of occurrence. For participations in onshore windfarms,
this estimate corresponds to long-term wind speeds at 100 meters above ground between 5.6 m/s and 6.6 m/s, depending on the location of the site. For solar power participations, this estimate corresponds to average irradiance of 1,071 kWh/m2.

kECO is granted at the time of the grant application and is fixed for the entire duration of the grant.
- The support mechanism in the Netherlands allows producers of renewable energy to benefit from the SDE sustainable energy subsidy if the market price is between a minimum (floor) and maximum (cap) level. It is granted by the Dutch government for a period of 15 years, and limited to a set maximum production level. The SDE support to the operational Kreekraksluis onshore windfarm amounts to a maximum of €67/MWh for 1,760 full load hours (70,400 MWh) per year for a period of 15 years. For the Kroningswind windfarm, the SDE support amounts to a maximum of €37/ MWh for 2,712 full load hours (216,387 MWh).
- The support mechanism in Ireland allows renewable energy producers to benefit the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff (REFIT), which is a price guaranteed by the Irish government per MWh produced. This is granted for a period of 15 years from the commissioning of the plants. The REFIT price for the Meenwaun onshore windfarm in portfolio is currently approximately €79 per MWh and is indexed annually based on the Irish consumer price index. The electricity produced is sold in the market. If the selling price in the market is lower than the REFIT price, the government pays the producer the difference between the selling price and the REFIT price. This guarantees to the producer that it will receive the predetermined price. If the market price is higher, the market price is received.
The fair value of the investment portfolio is calculated by applying a discount rate to the future cash flows from each individual participation. The weighted average discount rate was 8.10% at the end of the financial year, compared to 7.81% at the end of the previous financial year. The increase is the net result of several changes. One of these changes was the increase of the applicable discount rate for specific participations, such as onshore windfarms. Also, active portfolio management such as the divestment of a number of participations led to changes to the composition of the investment portfolio. The market interest rate further increased slightly during the financial year. TINC has seen interest in high-quality infrastructure remain strong, which largely compensates for any potential upwards pressure on the discount rates due to rising interest rates.
The table below summarises the weighted average discount rates applicable to the four segments as of December 31, 2023, and in comparison with the figures as of June 30, 2022.

The subordinated loans outstanding on December 31, 2023 have fixed interest rates and consist of a combination of shareholder loans and other loans not linked to equity.
The interest payments and principal repayments of the subordinated loans are subject to restrictions in the senior loan contracts. Interest is paid periodically. If the available cash flows from the participations are not sufficient, the agreements provide for a roll-up. Shareholder loans are typically flexible with respect to the principal repayments, but all shareholder loans must be repaid before the expected end of the operational life of the infrastructure. Loans that are not shareholder loans are repaid in accordance with a fixed repayment schedule. If the available cash flows from the participations are not sufficient, any overdue repayments must be paid as soon as possible. The agreed maturity date of a loan is typically several years prior to the end of the expected operational life of the infrastructure in the company that has issued the loan.

Cash and deposits comprise all freely withdrawable liquid funds held in cash or on bank deposit. During the past financial year, the cash position decreased by €21,071,237. This is the net result of a €19,636,364 distribution to shareholders, a €117,443,610 cash outflow from investing activities and a €10,157,330 cash outflow due to operating expenses. These cash outflows are partly compensated by cash inflows of €79,002,285 as a result of repayments from participations (including surplus values realised on disposals) and €47,163,781 in the form of dividends, interest and fees from participations.

TINC's commitments with regard to new and existing participations (GlasDraad, Higher Education Ireland, Storm, Garagepark, NGE Fibre, Yally and Zelfstroom) and its related financing obligations will be invested in accordance with the contractual provisions. Total commitments increased during the reporting period and are the result of additional commitments for Higher Education Buildings, Yally, Zelfstroom, NGE Fibre, GlasDraad and Storm and are partially offset by effective investments in GlasDraad, Kroningswind, Higher Education Ireland, Sociale Huisvesting Ierland, Datacenter United, Obelisc, Storm, Zelfstroom, Yally, NGE Fibre and Garagepark.
Commitments to contracted participations concern future acquisitions of new additional participations that have already been contractually agreed.
Through the partial disposal of GlasDraad, Glaspoort has taken a 50% stake in GlasDraad on a joint venture basis, with the possibility of eventually acquiring GlasDraad in full. This will be done at a price to be determined based on, among other things, the number of connections and the number of active users of the fiber network.
At December 31, 2023, the total amount of investment commitments was €112,233,517, composed of €112,233,517 equity and €0 shareholder loans.
TINC has €150,000,000 of undrawn contractual bank credit lines at December 31, 2023.
In the performance of its activities as an investment company, TINC is subject to risks both at the level of TINC itself as at the level of the participations it invests in.
Within the framework developed by the Supervisory Board following a proposal by the Executive Board and advice from the Audit Committee, the Executive Board is responsible for risk management, covering internal monitoring and compliance with laws and regulations. Risks are managed through a process of continuous identification, assessment, evaluation and mitigation. At least once a year, the Executive Board reports to the Supervisory Board on the general and financial risks and the management and control systems.
The following main risks can be distinguished.
Although a large number of holdings see their income increase with rising price levels, a persistent inflationary environment can weigh on the cost structure and consequently on the results of both TINC and its holdings.
TINC has no investments with infrastructure located in areas currently experiencing a state of war, ongoing violence or political unrest. Geopolitical events and tensions can nevertheless have an impact on the stability of the financial markets or the economic system and on the availability of debt and/or equity instruments for TINC to finance its investment commitments. At the end of the past financial year, TINC had approximately €27,4 million in cash and unused credit lines amounting to €150 million.
TINC's objective is to create value by investing in infrastructure companies that generate cash flows for TINC. In doing so, TINC depends on the ability of its participations to realise the expected cash flows and effectively distribute them to TINC. Macroeconomic and economic conditions, changing regulations and political developments can all restrict or obstruct this ability. TINC carefully monitors the general economic situation and market trends in order to assess the earnings impact in a timely fashion and take preventive measures where possible. A further diversification, in terms of geography, subsectors and revenue models, of its participations should prevent TINC's becoming overdependent on changes of the policy and legal framework or economic factors in one particular region, sector or business.
For new participations, TINC is dependent on the availability of investment opportunities in the market at sufficiently attractive conditions. The risk exists of an insufficient quantity of such opportunities or of existing opportunities being insufficiently diversified.
TINC has entered into contractual financial commitments with a number of existing and future participations. These take the form of commitments to invest further in existing participations, and also agreements to acquire new participations at a later date. There is a certain liquidity risk.
TINC tailors its funding to its outstanding financial commitments. Future investments can be financed by issuing new shares, debt instruments and/or a credit facility (or a combination of both) giving TINC the ability to respond flexibly to investment opportunities.
Credit risk exists with respect to the financial institutions where TINC has deposited its cash. This risk is mitigated by prudent treasury management whereby treasury resources are spread over accounts at different financial institutions with reliable ratings. This does not prevent TINC from being negatively impacted to the extent that the system of financial institutions is affected by external circumstances.
TINC is largely dependent for its investment activities and the management of its investment portfolio on TDP NV, to whom the responsibility for the provision of investment and administrative services (see above chapter Results 2022-2023) has been entrusted. The loss of TDP or significant changes in management or team of employees could have a (temporary) negative impact on TINC's operations.
TINC also depends on third parties to manage its IT systems (hardware, software, network, storage systems). Human error, natural incidents or failure of the IT systems could compromise the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data. In addition, TINC could be subject to cyber-attacks on the integrity of its systems and data (computer viruses, malware, phishing) resulting in the IT systems not functioning (properly), data being unavailable and/or unauthorized access to data. Any of these situations may have a negative impact on the operation and/or reputation of TINC. TINC, together with its partners in IT systems and services, tries to ensure that the systems and access to them are adequately secured according to the most current modern standards.
The participations in which TINC invests are susceptible to a greater or lesser extent to inter alia financial, operational, regulatory and commercial risks.
With regard to financial risks, the participations are subject inter alia to credit risk in respect of the counterparties from whom they expect to receive their income. In many cases, the counterparty is the government or governmentaffiliated party (PPP, energy-subsidy schemes) or a company of considerable size. This has the effect of limiting the risk.
Liquidity risk, particularly the non-availability of cash requirements, and interest rate risk, with cash flows to TINC being affected by higher interest expense due to rising interest rates, are offset by recourse to longer-term financing as much as possible (amongst others via hedging strategies).
Foreign currency risk does not exist today in the participations since all revenue and financial liabilities are denominated in euros.
Regulatory changes regarding support measures, or tax or legal treatment of (investments in) infrastructure may adversely affect the results of the participations, with a knock-on effect on their cash flows to TINC.
A significant portion of the participations operate in regulated environments (e.g. energy infrastructure, public - private partnerships and care) and benefit from support measures (e.g. green certificates). Infrastructure is also subject to specific health, safety and other regulations and environmental rules.
Healthcare institutions such as specialised residential care facilities for persons with special needs are associated with specific risks. Non-renewal, suspension or withdrawal of current licences is possible. Furthermore, charged rates are regulated, so unfavourable changes in the social and reimbursement policy rate could have a negative impact on the results.
The participations are subject to different tax laws. TINC structures and manages its business activities based on current tax legislation and accounting practices and standards.
An amendment, tightening or stricter enforcement of those regulations may have an impact on revenue, cause additional capital expenditure or operating costs, thereby affecting the results, the cash flows to TINC and return.
The biggest operational risk is that of the infrastructure being unavailable / only partially available for use, or not (fully) constructed. To prevent this, participations rely on suppliers and subcontractors that are carefully selected based on, inter alia, their experience, the quality of already delivered work, and solvency. TINC is also careful where possible to work with a sufficient number of different counterparties, to avoid risk concentration and over-reliance. Furthermore, where possible, the necessary insurance is taken out to cover, for example, business interruptions.
In addition, there is a risk of difficulties in the healthcare sector with respect to the maintenance of an appropriate level of quality of service and the recruitment and retention of competent care staff, which could have an adverse effect on the image and development prospects of the core facility or the cost structure.
It is not impossible that infrastructure, once operational, can become defective and not (fully) available. Although this responsibility for this is placed largely on the parties that the participations have used for building and maintaining the infrastructure, it can happen that these parties fail to solve certain technical problems for technical, organizational or financial reasons. In this case the results of the participations can be adversely affected.
The investment portfolio contains participations whose earnings models are dependent on demand of users or persons in need of care or which are subject to changes in pricing (e.g. electricity prices).
Should demand for (and therefore revenue from) these companies' services fall below current expectations, this would negatively affect the cash flows and the valuation of these investments.
Investing in the development of infrastructure involves additional risks. In infrastructure under development, TINC usually has to provide funding in the early development phase, while the cash flows derived from the infrastructure only start later on, once the infrastructure is operational. Associated risks include potential cost overruns and delays in completion (many of which are often caused by factors not directly under the control of TINC), development costs incurred for design and research, without guarantee that development will reach completion.
When TINC considers investing in infrastructure development, it will make certain estimates of the economic, market and other conditions, including estimates of the (potential) value of the infrastructure. These estimates could turn out to be incorrect, with adverse consequences for the business, financial condition, operating results and outlook for the infrastructure.

TINC committed €30 million to participate in a funding round for Storm Group, a developer and operator of renewable energy. This amount will be invested during 2024 and used for the development and construction of, among other things, battery parks for the storage of electricity.
In the context of the statutory audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements) of TINC NV (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group"), we report to you as statutory auditor. This report includes our opinion on consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year of 18 months ended 31 December 2023 and the disclosures including material accounting policy information (all elements together the "Consolidated Financial Statements") as well as our report on other legal and regulatory requirements. These two reports are considered one report and are inseparable.
We have been appointed as statutory auditor by the shareholders' meeting of 21 October 2020, in accordance with the proposition by the Board of Directors following recommendation of the Audit Committee. Our mandate expires at the shareholders' meeting that will deliberate on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2023. We performed the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group during 9 consecutive years.
We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of TINC NV, that comprise of the consolidated balance sheet on 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows of the year and the disclosures, including material accounting policy information, which show a consolidated balance sheet total of € 497.406.399 and of which the consolidated income statement shows a profit for the year of € 50.899.013.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated net equity and financial position as at 31 December 2023, and of its consolidated results for the year then ended, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS") and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISA's") applicable in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the ISA's approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB") that apply at the current year-end date and have not yet been approved at national level. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report.
We have complied with all ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium, including those with respect to independence.
We have obtained from the Board of Directors and the officials of the Company the explanations and information necessary for the performance of our audit and we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current reporting period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and consequently we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company invests in different investments, which are valued at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet under the heading "Investments at fair value through profit and loss". These represent 94% of the consolidated balance sheet. Due to the absence of direct observable market data, these investments are valued through methods using unobservable inputs, which can have a significant effect on the fair value. These unobservable inputs are also partly based on assumptions as well as estimates made by management. This is a key audit matter because the use of a different valuation method and/or changes to the underlying assumptions could lead to significant deviations in the fair value.
We performed additional procedures on areas with an increased risk of subjectivity and high level of estimation in the valuation process. These procedures included, amongst others::
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium and for such internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
As part of the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and provide, if applicable, information on matters impacting going concern, The Board of Directors should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease business operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA's will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
In performing our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework that applies to the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium. However, a statutory audit does not provide assurance about the future viability of the Company and the Group, nor about the efficiency or effectiveness with which the board of directors has taken or will undertake the Company's and the Group's business operations. Our responsibilities with regards to the going concern assumption used by the board of directors are described below.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA's, we exercise professional judgment and we maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going-concern;
• evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and evaluating whether the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events.
We communicate with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the audits of the subsidiaries. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities.
We provide the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report, unless the law or regulations prohibit this.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report.
In the context of our mandate and in accordance with the additional standard to the ISA's applicable in Belgium, it is our responsibility to verify, in all material respects, the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report, as well as to report on these matters.
In our opinion, after carrying out specific procedures on the Board of Directors' report, the Board of Directors' report is consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with article 3:32 of the Code of companies and associations.
In the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are also responsible to consider whether, based on the information that we became aware of during the performance of our audit, the Board of Directors' report and other information included in the annual report, being:
contain any material inconsistencies or contains information that is inaccurate or otherwise misleading. In light of the work performed, there are no material inconsistencies to be reported.
Our audit firm and our network have not performed any services that are not compatible with the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and have remained independent of the Company during the course of our mandate.
The fees related to additional services which are compatible with the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as referred to in article 3:65 of the Code of companies and associations were duly itemized and valued in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In accordance with the standard on the verification of the conformity of the financial statements with the European uniform electronic format (hereinafter "ESEF"), we have carried out the verification of the compliance of the ESEF format with the regulatory technical standards laid down by the European Delegated Regulation No 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereinafter: "Delegated Regulation").
The governing body is responsible for preparing, in accordance with the ESEF requirements, the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format (hereinafter "the digital consolidated financial statements") included in the annual financial report available on the FSMA portal (https://www.fsma.be/nl/data-portal).
It is our responsibility to obtain sufficient and appropriate supporting information to conclude that the format and marking language of the digital consolidated financial statements comply in all material respects with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
Based on the work carried out by us, we believe that the format and marking of information in TINC's digital consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2023 included in the annual financial report available on the FSMA portal (https://www.fsma.be/nl/data-portal) are in all material respects in accordance with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
