Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited United Kingdom Bucharest Branch, as Sole Administrator and Fund Manager of Fondul Proprietatea presents the preliminary results of the Fund for the year ended 31 December 2015 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by European Union ("IFRS"), with an audited net accounting loss of RON 565.1 million, as compared to the net profit for 2014 of RON 427.2 million.
According to the FSA Norm no. 39/ 28 December 2015, IFRS became the statutory basis of accounting for the entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA – Financial Investments and Instruments Sector, including Fondul Proprietatea, starting with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
The main factor behind the significant accounting loss in 2015 was the unrealised negative net change in fair value related to equity investments classified at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS, principally concerning OMV Petrom SA, due to the negative evolution of the share price of this company in 2015.
Total shareholders' equity was RON 12,053.1 million as at 31 December 2015, a decrease of 9.7% compared to the value of RON 13,347.9 million as at 31 December 2014.
The Fund reported a Net Asset Value ("NAV") of RON 12,087.8 million as at 31 December 2015 and a Net Asset Value per Share ("NAV per share") of RON 1.1564 (a negative NAV per share total return of 0.6% as compared to 31 December 2014). The NAV is prepared in accordance with the local rules issued by the capital market regulator.
In 2015, the Bucharest Stock Exchange underperformed the largest markets in Central Europe except Poland, in both local currency and EUR terms, as shown in the table below.
| % change in 2015 | in local currency | in EUR |
|---|---|---|
| BUX (Hungary) | 43.81% | 44.56% |
| ATX (Austria) | 10.97% | 10.97% |

The discount of the Fund share price to NAV was 30.0% as at 31 December 2015. In 2015, the discount ranged between 20.8% and 40.1%.
On 28 December 2015, the FSA published the Norm no. 39/2015 approving IFRS as the statutory accounting basis (official accounting regulations) for the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, although, during 2015 Romanian accounting regulations (CNVM Regulation no 4/2011, as subsequently amended) were the official accounting regulations.
Under IFRS, Fondul Proprietatea incurred an accounting loss of RON 565.1 million. The main factor behind the accounting loss in 2015 was the unrealised negative net change in fair value related to equity investments classified at fair value through profit or loss, principally related to OMV Petrom SA, as a result of the negative evolution of the share price of this company in 2015.
The current and retained accounting losses are expected to be covered from the accounting profits of future financial years.
Although due to this situation there will be no distributable profits according to the Fund's 2015 statutory annual financial statements (prepared under IFRS), the Fund Manager remains committed to ensuring annual cash distributions to the Fund's shareholders.
The Fund Manager has already recommended, and the shareholders have approved (on 27 January 2016), a cash distribution of RON 0.05 per share (via the decrease of the share capital through the reduction of the nominal value of the Fund's shares) to the shareholders registered as such at the Registration Date (i.e. 6 June 2016), proportionally with their participation to the paid-up share capital of the Fund (the Ex-date is 3 June 2016). The payments to shareholders for this cash distribution are expected to start on 27 June 2016 (the Payment Date).
Based on our current understanding of Romanian tax law, no Romanian tax will arise for the Fund or its shareholders on this distribution. The decrease of share capital is subject to the endorsement of the change of the Constitutive Act from the FSA.
In addition, the Fund Manager will seek to return further value to shareholders by continuing to buy-back shares.

Notes:
(a) Prepared on the basis of IFRS
(b) Prepared on the basis of local rules issued by the capital market regulator
(c) Calculated with dividend/ capital return reinvested, where applicable
(d) The difference in change (%) between total NAV and NAV per share is accounted for by the change in the number of treasury shares (treasury shares acquired through buy-backs are excluded from the number of shares used in the computation of NAV per share) and in paid capital during the period
(e) Compared to the end of the previous year
(f) Compared to the date of GDR listing on LSE, i.e. 29 April 2015
As at 31 December 2015, the NAV (calculated according to local rules issued by the capital market regulator) is similar with the Shareholders' equity (calculated according to IFRS) due to similar valuation methodologies applied to equity investments, as illustrated in the following table:
| Local Capital Market Regulations* | IFRS Regulation | |
|---|---|---|
| Listed securities Valued at closing market prices (regulated markets) |
Valued at fair value | |
| Valued at reference prices (Alternative Trading Systems)** |
||
| Unlisted or illiquid listed securities |
Valued as per latest issued annual financial statements (proportionally with the stake held) or using fair valuation methodologies |
Valued at fair value |
* Details on the valuation methods used for the holding in each company are presented in the Annex 2 to this report; the shares of companies under insolvency or reorganisation procedure are valued either at zero or at a value assessed by an independent authorised valuer, using valuation methods in accordance with International Valuation Standards (fair value principles). The shares of companies under judicial liquidation procedure or any other liquidation procedures, as well as of companies under temporary or final suspension of operations, must be valued at zero until the respective procedures are completed.
** Reference price is considered to be the average price for the securities listed on an Alternative Trading System.

According to the Fund's Investment Policy Statement, there are two performance objectives that the Fund Manager has been working to achieve. The NAV objective refers to higher adjusted NAV7 per share as at 30 June 2016 compared to the NAV per share as at 30 June 2015, of RON 1.1851 per share. The discount objective is to have a discount between the closing price of the Fund's shares and the latest reported NAV per share equal to or lower than 15%, in at least two thirds of the trading days in the period 1 July 2015 – 30 June 2016.
As at 31 December 2015, the adjusted NAV per share was 2.4% lower than the 30 June 2015 NAV per share of RON 1.1851. During the first six months of the reporting period, the Fund's NAV has been negatively impacted by the decrease in the value of the listed holdings in the portfolio, primarily OMV Petrom SA and Romgaz SA.
| NAV Objective | Amount RON | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Total NAV as at 31 December 2015 | 12,087,846,128 | |
| Costs related to the 2015 return of capital after 30 June 2015, until 31 December 2015 |
3,213 Fees charged by Central Depositary and Paying Agent for the payments performed after 30 June 2015 |
|
| Costs related to buy-backs after 30 June 2015, until 31 December 2015 |
188,682 Fees related to fifth buy-back programme after 30 June 2015 and sixth buy-back programme up to 31 December 2015 |

In the period 1 July – 31 December 2015, the discount was greater than 15%, for both shares and GDRs. Although the discount to NAV has not yet narrowed below15%, the Fund Manager continues to work towards achieving and exceeding this objective.
We will continue our efforts to reduce the discount to NAV as we firmly believe that the Fund's shares should be trading at a significantly lower discount than the current levels, given the quality of the underlying portfolio assets, our track record in working with the portfolio companies to improve efficiency and profitability, the attractive cash distribution yield of around 6%, the ongoing buy-back programmes, and our transparency, disclosure, and proactive investor relations efforts.
The significant depreciation of oil prices, increased volatility in the emerging and frontier markets, as well as the delays in the IPOs of the state owned companies in the Fund's portfolio, prolonged insolvency of Hidroelectrica SA, and failed negotiations with Electrica SA have been the main obstacles in our efforts to further reduce the Fund's discount to NAV.

7 The adjusted NAV for a given date will be calculated as the sum of: (1) the reported NAV as at the end of the reporting period, (2) any returns to shareholders, following reductions of the share capital (return of nominal value) implemented after 30 June 2015, and (3) any distribution fee and any transaction costs relating to non-dividend distributions including buy-backs of shares and/ or GDRs executed after 30 June 2015. The adjusted NAV per share will be equal to the adjusted NAV divided by the total number of the Fund's paid shares, less treasury shares (FP ordinary shares bought back) and less equivalent in FP ordinary shares of FP GDRs acquired and not yet converted into FP ordinary shares, on the last day of the reporting period.
After the listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange on 25 January 2011, we had another important milestone for the Fund in 2015: the listing on the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange through Global Depositary Receipts on 29 April 2015. As at 31 December 2015, the Fund was the fifth largest closed-end fund listed on the LSE based on its Net Asset Value. The primary purpose of the Fund's listing on the LSE was to facilitate easier investor access to the Fund's shares and to attract additional demand for the shares from new investors, as the Fund is ideally placed to offer investors exposure to a diversified range of Romanian listed and unlisted equity securities that should benefit from Romania's steady growth perspectives and strong economic fundamentals.
Throughout the year, we continued our efforts to increase the visibility and the profile of the Fund, as well as of the local capital market, and of Romania, to a broader international institutional investors base, through participation in 24 global and regional emerging and frontier market conferences in New York, London, Dubai, Zurs, Zagreb, Vienna, Warsaw, Prague, Stegersbach and Bucharest, where we met with over 125 international and local institutional investors and analysts interested in finding out more details about the Fund and its equity story, and to receive updates on the Fund, the corporate actions, and the underlying holdings.
During the year, we also organised 15 road-shows in the most important financial centres in Europe (London), the United States (New York, Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco), Canada (Toronto and Montreal) and the Middle-East (Dubai). During the road-shows, we participated in individual and group meetings with representatives from over 300 international institutional investment firms, both current shareholders and potential investors of the Fund.
Furthermore, we continued to organise our regular events dedicated to local and foreign institutional investors and analysts, who had the opportunity to receive a detailed overview of the Romanian economy and local capital market, and to meet with the top management of the largest Romanian companies, already listed or that are planning to list on the stock exchange.
Therefore, on 5 March, in collaboration with the Bucharest Stock Exchange and WOOD & Company, we organised the second edition of the "Romania Investor Day in London" event. 88 representatives from 61 investment firms, with assets under management of over EUR 900 billion, and 50 representatives from 16 Romanian corporates (both listed and unlisted) participated in the event. The event featured presentations and speeches from the Ambassador of Romania to the United Kingdom, representatives of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development, the Treasury Director from the Ministry of Public Finance, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Economy, Commerce and Tourism, the President of the FSA, the CEO and the President of the Bucharest Stock Exchange and the Fund Manager of Fondul Proprietatea. During the second part of the day, over 100 meetings were held between the investors and the management teams of the participating companies.
On 30 and 31 March, we held the second edition of the "Romania Investor Days in New York" event, organised in partnership with the Bucharest Stock Exchange, Swiss Capital and Auerbach Grayson. On the first day of the event, a plenary session featured presentations and speeches from the Romanian Ambassador in the United States of America, the Presidential Advisor and Head of the Presidential Chancellery, the Minister of Public Finance, a Director of the FSA, the President of the Romanian American Chamber of Commerce, the CEO and the President of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, the IMF Mission Chief for Romania and the Fund Manager of Fondul Proprietatea. More than 60 representatives of 40 international investment firms with over EUR 1,000 billion assets under management, and representatives of 15 Romanian companies, both listed or unlisted, participated in the event. During the second part of the first day and the entire second day of the event, 176 individual and group meetings were organised between the institutional investors and the management teams of the participating companies.
Between 27 and 29 October, we organised the eighth edition of the "Fondul Proprietatea Analyst and Investor Days" event. 75 representatives from 47 local and foreign institutional investors (with over USD 1,500 billion collectively in assets under management) participated in the event. Also, representatives of the Romanian Presidency, the Embassies in Romania of the United States of America and of the United Kingdom, international financial institutions, local authorities, companies in the Fund's portfolio and other companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange joined the event, bringing the total number of attendees to approximately 170. The participants had the opportunity to visit some of the most important assets in the Fund's portfolio, and to receive the latest updates on the Fund, the largest portfolio companies, the Romanian capital market environment, and the Romanian economy in general.
The first day of the event, was dedicated to the site visits. The guests visited the primary aluminium facilities of Alro, the largest aluminium smelter in Central and Eastern Europe, located in Slatina, and Hidroelectrica's powerplant in Draganesti. During the site visits, the participants met the companies' technical teams which presented to them the facility. The second day of the event, was dedicated to speeches and presentations from the Presidential Adviser and Head of the Presidential Chancellery, the USA and UK Ambassadors, the Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Romania, the Minister of Energy, the President of the Regulatory Authority for Energy, and of the FSA, the IMF Resident Representative in Romania, the Senior Economist of the Macro Research division of Goldman Sachs, as well as from top portfolio companies: OMV Petrom SA, Romgaz SA, Hidroelectrica SA, BRD Groupe Societe Generale SA, Nuclearelectrica SA, Electrica SA, and from Grzegorz Konieczny, CEO and Fund Manager of Fondul Proprietatea who updated the participants with the most important developments regarding the Fund.
On 29 October, we organised the "Frontier Investors Day" event together with WOOD & Company. 164 investor meetings were organised between the institutional investors and the 24 companies present at the event, Romanian listed companies or potential future IPOs, as well as foreign corporates from other frontier markets: Georgia, Slovenia, and Ukraine.
As part of our communication strategy to update the institutional investors and analysts covering Fondul Proprietatea on the Fund's results, the latest events involving the Fund and its portfolio companies and the planned future corporate actions, we organised the 2014 preliminary results, 2015 first quarter, 2015 first semester and 2015 third quarter results conference calls, where more than 60 investors and analysts participated on average.
As part of our communication strategy to update the retail investors in 2015 we sent three letters to shareholders, in March, July, and October, in order to update the individual shareholders of the Fund on the main corporate actions planned by the Fund Manager, the latest developments regarding the Fund and its underlying portfolio companies. Also, on 16 September, we organised the second "Retail Investor Day", and 63 individual shareholders participated in the event.
In addition, throughout the entire year, we organised 65 individual meetings with current and prospective investors, as well as 89 conference calls.
Communication between the Fund Manager and the investors remains our top priority, as we aim to ensure that investors are informed about the latest developments and obtain feedback as we continue to focus on maximising shareholder value.
Following the self-assessment conducted, the Fund Manager informs the shareholders and investors that the Fund is fully compliant with the provisions of the new Corporate Governance Code of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, applicable starting 4 January 2016.
On 21 January 2015, the Fund's General Shareholders Meeting ("GSM") approved a new mandate to list the Fund on the LSE by 10 July 2015. As mentioned above, the Fund's secondary listing through GDRs successfully took place on 29 April 2015. The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed by the Fund to act as depositary bank in relation to the GDR facility.
The GDR facility is limited to one-third of the Fund's subscribed share capital under the Romanian securities regulations, or 81,228,524 GDRs between 29 April and 12 August 2015 and 74,622,820 GDRs after this date, each GDR representing 50 shares, and the currency of the GDRs is US dollar. As at 31 December 2015, 32.98% of the Fund's issued shares were converted into GDRs.
For further updates regarding the limit of the GDR facility, please see the section Subsequent Events.
During 2015 the Fund has completed the implementation of the fourth and fifth buy-back programmes and started the implementation of the sixth buy-back programme. The seventh buy-back programme was approved by shareholders during the October 2015 GSM and the Fund Manager can start its implementation after the cancelation of the shares acquired during fifth buy-back programme is effective.
During the 28 April 2014 GSM, the shareholders approved the fourth buy-back programme, for a maximum number of (i) 990,855,616 shares or (ii) 10% of the subscribed share capital at the relevant time, whichever is the lesser, starting with the date when the third buy-back programme is completed, within the price range of RON 0.2 per share to RON 2 per share, to be cancelled upon completion of the buy-back programme.
The execution of the fourth buy-back programme started on 1 October 2014 and until 2 February 2015, all 990,855,616 treasury shares were acquired, at a total acquisition value, including transaction costs, of RON 1,060,874,423. The cancellation of the shares acquired within this buy-back programme was effective on 12 August 2015.
On 19 November 2014 the Fund's shareholders approved the fifth buy-back programme that refers to the acquisition of a maximum number of (i) 227,572,250 shares or (ii) 10% of the subscribed share capital at the relevant time, whichever is the lesser. The buy-back could be performed within the price range of RON 0.2 per share to RON 2 per share, the shares repurchased to be cancelled upon completion of the buy-back programme. The execution of the fifth buy-back programme started on 10 February 2015 and until 29 July 2015, all 227,572,250 treasury shares were acquired, at a total acquisition value, including transaction costs, of RON 193,699,522.
During the GSM held on 29 October 2015, the Fund's shareholders approved the decrease of the share capital through the cancellation of the shares repurchased by the Fund within the fifth buy-back programme. As at 31 December 2015, the share capital decrease process was ongoing.
During the 27 April 2015 GSM the shareholders approved the sixth buy-back programme for a maximum number of 891,770,055 shares or the equivalent number of global depositary receipts corresponding to the shares of Fondul Proprietatea, valid until 15 November 2016. The buy-back shall be performed at a price between RON 0.2 per share and RON 2 per share. The buy-back transactions can only be applied to fully paid shares and the repurchased shares will be cancelled. The implementation of this buy-back programme is subject to the availability of the necessary cash. The execution of the buy-back programme started on 9 September 2015 and until 31 December 2015, the total number of shares repurchased was 149,649,624 (111,074,924 ordinary shares and 38,574,700 equivalent shares of the GDRs repurchased, where 1 GDR represents 50 ordinary shares), at a total acquisition value, including transaction costs, of RON 121,497,490.
For further updates regarding the sixth buy-back programme, please see the section Subsequent Events.
On 29 October 2015 the Fund's shareholders approved the seventh buy-back programme that refers to the acquisition of a maximum number of shares computed so that all the outstanding treasury shares (acquired during this programme and/or previous ones) will not exceed 10% of the issued share capital at the relevant time, starting with the date when the share capital decrease regarding the cancellation of the shares repurchased within the fifth buy-back programme is effective, for a maximum period of 18 months as of the date when this shareholders' resolution is published in the Official Gazette of Romania. The buy-back shall be performed at a price that cannot be lower than RON 0.2 per share or higher than RON 2 per share. The transactions can only be applied to fully paid shares, global depositary receipts or depositary interests corresponding to the shares of the Fund, which will be cancelled. The implementation of this buy-back programme will be subject to the availability of the necessary cash.
During the 21 January 2015 GSM, the Fund's shareholders approved the return to shareholders of RON 0.05 per share, following the reduction of the nominal value of the shares of the Fund from RON 0.95 to RON 0.90. The decrease was motivated by the optimisation of the share capital of Fondul Proprietatea, involving the return to the shareholders of a part of their contributions, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund. The shareholders resolution was published in the Official Gazette of Romania on 4 February 2015 and the endorsement by the FSA of the new Constitutive Act reflecting the share capital decrease was received on 21 May 2015 (Endorsement no. 169/ 20 May 2015).
The shareholders registered with the Central Depositary on 24 June 2015 had the right to receive RON 0.05 per share, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund. The payment of the capital return started on 29 June 2015 (the Payment Date). By 31 December 2015, shareholders had collected over 96% of the total distribution of RON 534.3 million.
During 2015, two cancelations of shares have been registered, following the implementation of the third and fourth buy-back programmes, and the cancelation of the shares acquired during the fifth but-back programme was approved, as follows:
The Fund Manager remains committed to returning cash to shareholders on an annual basis (subject to applicable law and necessary approvals), the Fund's Annual Cash Distribution Policy being as follows:
"In the absence of exceptional market conditions or circumstances, and subject to any restrictions under Romanian legal or tax regulations, the Fund Manager intends to recommend to shareholders a cash distribution related to each financial year equivalent to 100% of the sum of (i) the Fund's dividend income from portfolio companies, (ii) plus interest on cash balances, (iii) less expenses and taxation and (iv) less compulsory allocations to reserves according to the regulations in force, in each case for that year. The cash distributions would be paid to shareholders either in the form of a return of capital (by decreasing the nominal value per share) or in the form of dividends, in each case subject to any restrictions under Romanian legal or tax regulations. In the case of dividend distributions (where permitted by applicable law), the distributable amount will be assessed based on audited financial information. In the case of a return of capital, the distributable amount will be based on a best estimate according to the latest management accounts at the time of proposing the resolution".
The Annual Cash Distribution Policy does not limit additional cash returns and share buy-backs that can be recommended by the Fund Manager separately, subject to available cash and depending on the discount level, according to the Investment Policy Statement.
The Annual Cash Distribution Policy is published on the Fund's webpage.
On 6 August 2014, the FSA issued Instruction no. 2/ 6 August 2014, whereby entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA in the Financial Investments and Instruments Sector were required to apply IFRS, as the official basis of accounting with effect from 1 January 2015. As a result, starting on 1 January 2015 the Fund adopted IFRS as the statutory official accounting framework and used the accounting records under IFRS for quarterly report for the quarter ended 31 March 2015 and for the computation of the non-portfolio items for the 30 January 2015, 27 February 2015, 31 March 2015 and 30 April 2015 NAV reports.
However, during 2015, the FSA decided to postpone the implementation of IFRS as official accounting regulations for regulated entities. FSA Instruction no. 1/19 May 2015 regarding the amendment of Instruction 2/2014 was published in the Official Gazette of Romania and entered into force on 19 May 2015, delaying the implementation of IFRS as the official accounting regulations until 1 January 2016. As a result, starting May 2015 the official accounting regulations for the Fund reverted to Romanian Accounting Regulations, being used for the preparation of the Semi-annual report for the six-month period ended 30 June 2015, of the quarterly report for the quarter ended 30 September 2015 and for the computation of the non-portfolio items for the monthly NAV reports starting with the 29 May 2015 report.
On 28 December 2015 the official accounting regulations applicable to Fondul Proprietatea were once again changed by the FSA Norm 39/2015 regarding the approval of the accounting regulations in accordance with IFRS, applicable to the entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA – Financial Investments and Instruments Sector ("Norm 39/2015"), published in the Official Gazette of Romania no. 982/ 30 December 2015.
According to Norm 39/2015, starting with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, IFRS are the official accounting regulations (the statutory basis of accounting) for the regulated entities, including Fondul Proprietatea. As a result, being the official accounting records, the annual IFRS financial statements were used for the preparation of this report.
During 2015, there were two changes of the current Investment Management Agreement ("IMA 2014") that produce effects during the year (Addendum 2 and 3 to the IMA 2014), both related mainly to the distribution fee payable by the Fund to the Fund Manager. The shareholders also approved the third change (Addendum 4 to the IMA 2014), reflecting new commercial changes related to the fees payable to the Fund Manager, which will be effective after FSA endorsement, according to regulations in force.
For further updates on the endorsement by the FSA of the Addendum 4 to the IMA 2014, please see the section Subsequent Events.
The Law 74/2015 implementing AIFM Directive was published in the Official Gazette of Romania on 23 April 2015. Following the entry into force of the Law 74/2015 on 24 May 2015, the FSA approved Regulation 10/ 2015 regarding the alternative investment funds management ("Regulation 10/ 2015") on 22 July 2015, which was published in the Official Gazette of Romania on 28 July 2015. According to the FSA Regulation 10/2015, the Fund is qualified as an Alternative Investment Fund under the Romanian law implementing the AIFM Directive and needs to comply with the provisions of the law implementing AIFM Directive and Regulation 10/2015 before 24 May 2016.
On 29 October 2015 the GSM approved the AIFM Directive implementation plan for the Fund as follows:
For further updates on the implementation of AIFM Directive, please see the section Subsequent Events.
On 12 January 2015, Law no. 10/2015 was published in the Part I of the Official Gazette of Romania no. 22 ("Law 10") and entered into force on 15 January 2015. Law 10 amends, among others, Title VII of Law no. 247/2005 governing mainly the organisation and functioning of the Fund ("Fund Law"). The main amendments are presented below:
• Any inconsistencies there might have been in the past legislation regarding the right of the Fund's shareholders to freely appoint the fund manager are now clarified; the provisions of Article 12 (2) of the Fund Law, stating that the fund manager is appointed through an international tender organised by the State were repealed;
A consolidated version of the Fund Law containing the amendments brought by Law 10 can be found on the Fund's website.
On 4 May 2015, Fondul Proprietatea concluded a revolving committed credit facility of RON 500 million with Citibank Europe Plc, Dublin – Romania Branch. The purpose of the credit facility is for general corporate use, including share buy-backs, but excluding investments. It is intended to be a bridging loan.
The Fund used the credit facility during 2015, but as at 31 December 2015 there was no outstanding balance.
On 17 December 2015 the Fund and Citibank Europe Plc Dublin - Romania Branch agreed to extend the revolving committed credit facility of RON 500 million, with a potential increase by a further RON 500 million, subject to future mutual agreement of the parties. The availability period of the facility starts on 4 January 2016 and ends on 31 August 2016. The final reimbursement should take place on 30 September 2016, at the latest.
On 10 December 2015 the Fund Manager announced the calling of a new Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders ("EGM") for 27 January 2016.
The main decisions of the shareholders during 27 January 2016 GSM were the following:
The execution of the sixth buy-back programme started on 9 September 2015 and until 31 December 2015, the total number of shares repurchased was 149,649,624 (111,074,924 ordinary shares and 38,574,700 equivalent shares of the GDRs repurchased), at a total acquisition value, including transaction costs, of RON 121,497,490.
On 14 January 2016 the Fund filed with the FSA an application for a buy-back tender offer, to accelerate the sixth buy-back programme, by acquiring 430 million shares or the equivalent number of GDRs corresponding to the shares of the Fund, from the Fund's shareholders. However this was withdrawn on 25 January 2016 due to material market volatility, which significantly impacted stock market prices and the value of portfolio holdings. In order to ensure that the tender offer is priced appropriately relative to the market price, to maximise value for the Fund's shareholders, the Fund Manager will continue to monitor market developments closely and is prepared to restart the process when market conditions are more supportive. On 28 January the Fund resumed the daily buybacks of shares, as repurchasing shares at the current market price should have a more positive impact on the Fund's NAV per share and enhance shareholder value.
The Fund Manager considers that in the current market environment, it is important to stay prudent in cash management and limit the leverage of the Fund.
On 22 January 2016 The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary bank of the GDRs, has notified that total GDR holdings have reached the limit for GDR issuance, of one third of the Fund's issued share capital, as provided by the regulations in force. As a result, until further notice from The Bank of New York Mellon with respect to the GDR facility, no new GDRs may be issued.
The FSA issued Endorsement no. 1/ 7 January 2016 whereby it endorsed with comments the Addendum no. 4/ 2 November 2015 to the Investment Management Agreement concluded between the Fund and the Fund Manager on 29 April 2014, proposing a different wording related to the calculation of the distribution fee between 1 November 2015 and 31 March 2016, which will be added on the agenda of the next GSM.
The distribution fee rate applicable was 100 basis points for the period between 1 November 2015 and 6 January 2016 and 200 basis points for the period between 7 January 2016 and 31 March 2016.
On 28 January 2016 the FSA issued Endorsements no. 25, respectively Endorsement no. 26, whereby it endorsed the following amendments brought to the Fund's registration documents, which were approved by the Fund's shareholders during the 29 October 2015 GSM:
According to the FSA Board Resolution from 27 January 2016, the IMA signed between Fondul Proprietatea SA and FTIS, as its Alternative Investment Fund Manager and Sole Director, as approved by the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting Resolution no. 8/ 29 October 2015 with effect as of 1 April 2016, does not require FSA's endorsement prior to its entering into force. Furthermore, FSA considers that Commission de Surveillance du Sector Financier of Luxemburg, as the competent authority of the AIFM home state member, has oversight obligations in respect to the management performed by FTIS, based on the notification sent regarding the new IMA.
The key performance indicator of the Fund is its Net Asset Value. The Fund is required to publish a monthly net asset value per share in accordance with local rules issued by the capital market regulator, no later than 15 calendar days after the reporting month end. All NAV reports are published on the Fund's website at www.fondulproprietatea.ro, together with the share price and discount information.
CNVM Regulation no. 4/2010, as subsequently amended, allows the NAV calculation based on best international practice suitable for a listed closed-end fund.
Listed securities are valued at closing market prices if listed on regulated markets, or reference prices if listed on an Alternative Trading System ("ATS"), on Rasdaq market or on UNLS section of BVB. In case of shares listed on ATS the reference price is considered to be the average price; in case of shares listed on Rasdaq the reference price is considered to be the closing price for the shares listed on section RGBS and the average price for the shares listed on section XMBS; and in case of shares traded on UNLS section of BVB the reference price is considered to be the average price.
Illiquid or unlisted securities are valued using either the value of shareholders' equity, as per the latest available annual financial statements, proportionally with the stake held, or according to International Valuation Standards which permit fair valuation.
The shares in the companies going through insolvency or a reorganisation procedure are valued either at zero, or at the value provided by an independent valuer, using valuation methods in accordance with International Valuation Standards which permit fair valuation. The shares in the companies under a judicial liquidation procedure, or any other liquidation procedures, as well as in the companies under temporary or final suspension of operation, are valued at zero until the procedure is finalised.
The treasury shares acquired through buy-backs are excluded from the number of shares used in the NAV per share computation.
In September 2015, Fondul Proprietatea started the sixth buy-back programme which is carried out by the Fund through buying both ordinary shares on the Bucharest Stock Exchange and GDRs on the London Stock Exchange.
From an accounting point of view the GDRs bought back by the Fund are accounted for exactly as the own ordinary shares repurchased, as a deduction in shareholders' equity (in an account with debit balance in shareholders' equity). This is the result of the application of substance over form principle, due to the fact that buy-back via GDRs is only a technical/ legal form of the transaction, the substance of the transaction being that the Fund buys back its own shares, giving the same rights to both the holders of the Fund's ordinary shares and to the holders of the Fund's GDRs, to take part in the buy-back programmes carried out by the Fund.
According to CNVM Regulation no. 4/2010, as subsequently amended, in the computation of the NAV per share, the number of own shares bought back by the Fund, held at the NAV reporting date, should be deducted from the number of shares issued and paid-in.
Due to the fact that in substance the Fund's GDRs are similar with the ordinary shares to which they correspond, in the computation of the number of shares used in the calculation of NAV per share, the equivalent number of shares corresponding to the GDRs bought back and held by the Fund as at NAV reporting date are also deducted (together with the number of the ordinary own shares bought back and held).
Starting 1 January 2015, according to FSA Instruction no. 2/6 August 2014, entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA were required to apply IFRS as the official basis of accounting. Therefore, starting on 1 January 2015 the Fund adopted IFRS as the statutory official accounting regulations and used the accounting records under IFRS for the computation of the non-portfolio items for the 30 January 2015, 27 February 2015, 31 March 2015 and 30 April 2015 NAV reports.
In May 2015 the FSA issued Instruction no. 1/19 May 2015 (which amended Instruction no. 2/2014) according to which the implementation of IFRS as the official basis of accounting is postponed until 1 January 2016 and regulated entities should continue to apply the Romanian Accounting Regulations (CNVM Regulation 4/2011) in 2015. As a result, the Fund used the accounting records according to Romanian Accounting Regulations for the computation of the non-portfolio items in the monthly NAV reports, starting the 29 May 2015 NAV report.
On 28 December 2015 the official accounting regulations applicable to Fondul Proprietatea were again changed by the FSA Norm 39/2015; as a result, starting with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, IFRS are the official accounting regulations (statutory basis of accounting) for the Fund.
However, even if the statutory 2015 annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS by adjusting the accounting records based on Romanian Accounting Regulations, according to the letter received from the FSA on 21 December 2015, the FSA confirmed the use of the accounting records under Romanian Accounting Regulations for the computation of non-portfolio items in the 31 December 2015 NAV. The differences between Romanian Accounting Regulations and IFRS on the non-portfolio items will be explained in a note in the Annex "Statement of Assets and Obligations of Fondul Proprietatea SA as at 31 December 2015, prepared in accordance with CNVM Regulation 4/2010 (Annex no. 4)", that will be part of the 2015 Annual report.
The following chart shows information on the monthly published NAVs per share for the period 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015:

The grey section within May 2015 represents the value of the 2015 return of capital per share, approved by shareholders in January 2015, which was recorded in May 2015, following the FSA endorsement of this share capital decrease (Endorsement no. 169/ 20 May 2015), which resulted in a corresponding reduction of the NAV per share.
During the first quarter of 2015 the NAV per share decreased by 3.5%, mainly due to the negative impact of the decrease of the share prices of certain listed holdings, principally OMV Petrom SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 480.9 million or RON 0.0447 per share).
During the second quarter of 2015, the NAV per share had an overall moderate upward trend compared with the end of the first quarter of 2015, mainly due to the positive share price evolution of the Fund's listed holdings, principally OMV Petrom SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 146.3 million or RON 0.0137 per share) and Romgaz SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 52.0 million or RON 0.0049 per share) and also due to the fifth buy-back programme carried out by the Fund during this period.
During the third quarter of 2015 the NAV per share decreased by 4.3%, mainly due to the negative impact of the decrease of the share prices of certain listed holdings, principally OMV Petrom SA (impact on Fund's NAV of RON 450.8 million or RON 0.0426 per share) and Romgaz SA (impact on Fund's NAV of RON 246.7 million or RON 0.0233 per share), while the buy-backs carried out during the period had a positive impact.
In the last quarter of 2015, the NAV per share increased overall, mainly due to the update of the independent valuation for unlisted portfolio holdings (the main positive impact being related to the holdings in Hidroelectrica SA and CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA), partially offset by the decrease of the share price of certain portfolio companies, principally of OMV Petrom SA share price (negative impact of RON 484.1 million or a decrease of RON 0.0462 per share), while the sixth buy-back programme carried out by the Fund during this quarter had a positive impact.
In October and December, 22 unlisted holdings, representing 99.7% of the total unlisted portfolio, were independently valued (including valuation updates for 21 of the holdings). The valuations were performed by KPMG Advisory and Ernst & Young Service, in accordance with International Valuation Standards. The overall impact was an increase of RON 749.4 million or RON 0.0717 per share, as compared to the 30 September 2015 NAV.

Based on ANRE Order 150/ 2014, starting January 2015, the regulated electricity distribution tariffs decreased between 1% (for high voltage) and 3.3% (for low voltage). Based on the ANRE Order 62/2015, gas distribution tariffs decreased as of 1 May 2015 between 0.2% and 6.3% depending on the end-consumer consumption volume.
May: The Fund requested the amendment of the convening notices of the OGM of E.ON Distributie Romania SA and E.ON Energie Romania SA, called on 26 May and 28 May 2015 respectively, in order for shareholders to approve the initiation of court actions against the Board members and managers of E.ON Distributie Romania SA, E.ON Moldova Distributie SA and E.ON Energie Romania SA, for the recovery of damages caused to the companies by approving, concluding and performing service agreements with E.ON Romania SRL, the majority shareholder of the three companies. Fondul Proprietatea considers that the service agreements entered into by the three companies with the majority shareholder E.ON Romania SRL are unnecessary and the price paid by the companies to E.ON Romania SRL for the strategic consultancy services is unjustified. According to data available to the Fund, in 2014, the total value of these service agreements related to strategic and management consultancy amounted to an estimated RON 34.4 million.
December: Based on ANRE Order 174 issued on 14 December 2015, the regulated electricity distribution tariffs decreased on average by 9.6%. Among the reasons quoted by the regulator for this reduction are the positive gap between actual distributed volumes in 2015 versus initial projections, substantial reduction in the cost of energy purchased by the distributor to cover grid losses and the implementation of the reduced Regulated Rate of Return (to 7.7% vs. 8.5%) legislated at the end of 2014.

March: According to the consolidated IFRS financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, the company reported a net profit of RON 131.4 million (a decrease of 69.2% y.o.y).
April: At the Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April the Board of Directors proposed, and shareholders approved, to distribute a gross dividend per share of RON 0.3 for the financial year 2014 translating into a pay-out ratio of 71% from distributable net profit.
August: The company released the financial results for the first six months of 2015: electricity output was flat y.o.y. at 5.18 TWh and total sales were up 0.5% y.o.y. to RON 858.4 million. The total costs decreased slightly y.o.y. despite the additional costs generated by the planned shutdown of Unit 2 in Q2 2015 for approximately 25 days. Total operating expenses decreased 3.3% to RON 843.9 million. Salaries expenses were higher than estimated mainly due to the fact that some benefits in kind were previously booked as other expenses.
Operating profit increased to RON 14.4 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to a loss of RON 18.4 million in the first six months of 2014, mostly supported by a lower tax on special constructions, which was reduced to 1.0% from 1.5% previously (paid in full amount in first quarter of 2015). The bottom line decreased to RON 1.6 million compared to RON 14.4 million in the first six months of 2014 as financial losses offset improvements in operating activity.
November: The company released the individual financial statements for the first nine months of 2015: the sales decreased 1.7% y.o.y to RON 1,283.7 million, operating profit increased 25.5% y.o.y. to RON 107.3 million and net profit increased 69.7% y.o.y. to RON 131.1 million. The improvement in profitability was mainly generated by the decrease of the tax on special constructions (from 1.5% in 2014 to 1.0% in 2015). The quantity of electricity sold decreased by 1.0% y.o.y because of the planned shutdown for maintenance works. The weighted average selling price decreased by 1.1% y.o.y. to 161.5 RON/MWh.

During the 21 January 2015 GSM, the Fund's shareholders approved the return to shareholders of RON 0.05 per share, following the reduction of the nominal value of the shares of the Fund from RON 0.95 to RON 0.90. The decrease was motivated by the optimisation of the share capital of Fondul Proprietatea, involving the return to the shareholders of a part of their contributions, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund. The shareholders resolution was published in the Official Gazette of Romania on 4 February 2015 and the endorsement by the FSA of the new Constitutive Act reflecting the share capital decrease was received on 21 May 2015 (Endorsement no. 169 / 20 May 2015).
The shareholders registered with the Central Depositary on 24 June 2015 have the right to receive RON 0.05 per share, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund. The payment of the capital return started on 29 June 2015 (the Payment Date).
Following recent legislative changes, starting with this year, the payments were performed through Central Depositary, as follows:
a) for shareholders having a custodian/ brokerage account, directly by the respective custodian bank or broker;
The Paying Agent appointed by the Fund for the 2015 distributions is BRD Groupe Societe Generale.
As an important notice to shareholders, the payment of the amounts due to the Fund's shareholders related to the return of capital approved in 2015 is subject to the general statute of limitation. As such, the shareholders may request these payments only within a three year term starting with the Payment Date, namely until 29 June 2018.
The FSA, through Endorsement no. 25/27 January 2015, endorsed the decrease of the subscribed share capital from RON 11,815,279,886.85 to RON 11,575,064,733.65, following the cancellation of 252,858,056 treasury shares acquired by the Fund in the third buy-back programme in 2014. The share capital decrease was effective on 27 January 2015. Therefore, starting from 27 January 2015, the new value of the Fund's subscribed share capital was RON 11,575,064,733.65, (representing 12,184,278,667 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.95 per share). The value of the paid-in share capital was RON 11,229,443,001.15 (representing 11,820,466,317 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.95 per share).

The share capital decrease was effective on 12 August 2015.
Therefore, starting on 12 August 2015, the new value of the Fund's subscribed share capital is RON 10,074,080,745.90, divided into 11,193,423,051 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.90 per share. The value of the paid in share capital is RON 9,746,649,630.90, divided into 10,829,610,701 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.90 per share. As a result of the share capital decrease the new GDR facility limit, calculated as one third of the share capital, is 74,622,820 GDRs.

Deposits with banks included as at 31 December 2015 bank deposits denominated in RON with maturities of up to one month, held with banks in Romania.
As at 31 December 2015, treasury bills caption included treasury bills with discount, while government bonds caption comprised short-term government bonds with coupon, both denominated in RON, with original maturities up to one year, issued by the Ministry of Public Finance of Romania.
The overall decrease in liquid assets in 2015 was mainly caused by the funding of the buy-back programmes carried out by the Fund during this year (fourth, fifth and sixth buy-back programmes) and to the payment of the return of capital to shareholders started in June 2015, net of the dividends collected from portfolio companies and of the proceeds on disposal of portfolio holdings (mainly related to the holding in Romgaz SA).
Starting 1 January 2014, Fondul Proprietatea applied the Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 - Investment Entities, the Fund being an investment entity. As a result, the Fund classified and measured its investments in subsidiaries and associates as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The other equity investments were classified as financial assets available for sale.
The equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are recorded in the profit or loss. Subsequent measurement is at fair value and all changes in fair value are accounted for through profit or loss. Equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are not subject to the review for impairment.
The equity investments classified as available for sale are measured at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income (equity). At the derecognition of an available for sale equity investment, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss. Impairment losses on available for sale equity investments are recognised by transferring the cumulative loss that was recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired equity investment classified as available for sale increases, this is recognised in other comprehensive income (equity).
As at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, all the equity investments of the Fund were carried at fair value.
Listed shares traded in an active market were measured at fair value, using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument at the reporting date. A market is considered active if transactions for the asset take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
In case of unlisted shares and listed shares that are not traded in an active market, where sufficient information was available, the fair values of equity investments were determined by independent valuers, using valuation techniques, in accordance with International Valuation Standards (99.7% of the total unlisted portfolio).
Investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted price in an active market, and whose fair values determined by independent valuers were not available, are measured at values considered to be equivalent to fair values, being the values used in the calculation of the net asset value of the Fund, determined in accordance to the regulations issued by the FSA/CNVM and reported on monthly basis (only an insignificant part of the portfolio).
The decrease of equity investments by RON 1,127.0 million in 2015 was mainly due to a 28.9% decrease in value of the OMV Petrom SA share price with (negative impact of RON 1,269.5 million) and to the disposal of part of the holding in Romgaz SA (negative impact of RON 565.8 million), which were partially offset by the net increase in the value of unlisted equity investments following the update of the independent valuations (total net positive impact of RON 756.2 million), the most significant contributor being the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (RON 476.0 million).
The deferred tax asset recognised by the Fund as at 31 December 2014 was reversed in 2015 due to the change of the Romanian fiscal legislation provisions regarding the tax treatment of the unrealised changes in fair value recognised through profit or loss for holdings over 10% of the share capital of the issuer, held for an uninterrupted period of at least 1 year, which, starting 1 January 2016, are no longer considered taxable/ deductible, so would no longer generate deferred tax.
As at 31 December 2015, the net deferred tax position is nil due to the fact that the Fund recognised a deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses carried forward, only to the level of the deferred tax liability arising from the taxable temporary differences (with impact recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income, depending on the nature of the corresponding item).

Gross dividend income represents the dividend income earned from the Fund's portfolio companies, mainly from Hidroelectrica SA (RON 128.9 million), Romgaz SA (RON 121.4 million), OMV Petrom SA (RON 120.5 million) and Electrica Furnizare SA (RON 38.3 million). The decrease as compared to 2014 was mainly determined by the lower level of dividends approved for distribution by the Fund's portfolio companies, the most significant decrease being for OMV Petrom SA (a decrease of RON 210.9 million), which was partially offset by the dividends received from Hidroelectrica SA (RON 128.9 million).
The net loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss in 2015 and 2014 represent the net unrealised loss from the negative net change in fair value related to equity investments classified at fair value through profit or loss, principally OMV Petrom SA, due to negative evolution of the share price of this company in these years.
In performing the impairment test for the equity investments available for sale, the Fund considers all relevant factors, such as: significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, market and industry conditions, to the extent that they influence the recoverable amount of the investment, financial conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, any specific adverse events that may influence the issuer's operations, recent losses of the issuer. The most significant impairment losses on equity investments available for sale in 2015 were related to the holdings in Complexul Energetic Oltenia SA (RON 45.6 million), Nuclearelectrica SA (RON 36.2 million), and in Alro SA (RON 8.0 million). In 2014 the most significant impairment losses recorded were related to the holdings in Complexul Energetic Oltenia SA (RON 213.4 million), Nuclearelectrica SA (RON 94.8 million), and in Alro SA (RON 12.4 million).
Interest income arose from deposits held with banks and from short-term government securities.
The net gain on disposal of equity investments available for sale represents the difference between the proceeds from disposals and the carrying values of the equity investments as at disposal date, plus the net unrealised gain related to these investments disposed of, transferred from equity (other comprehensive income) to profit or loss upon their derecognition.
During 2015 the Fund sold part of its holdings in Romgaz SA and Primcom SA and its entire holdings in Forsev SA, SIFI CJ Agro SA, Electroconstructia Elco Cluj SA and Petrotel Lukoil SA.
In 2014, the Fund sold its entire holdings in Erste Group Bank SA, Raiffeisen Bank SA, Resib SA, Severnav SA, Transelectrica SA, Transilvania Com SA, Turdapan SA and part of its holding in Conpet SA, Oil Terminal SA, and Romgaz SA.
The other comprehensive income comprised the changes in fair value of equity investments available for sale, net of related deferred tax, where applicable.
The income tax expenses in 2015 represent among others the reversal of the deferred tax asset recorded as at 31 December 2014, netted off by the recognition of the deferred tax asset as at 31 December 2015 through profit or loss for a part of the unused tax losses carried forward. For further details, please see the paragraph related to the deferred tax asset above.

Investment management and administration fees increased in 2015 as compared to 2014 mainly due to the distribution fees which were payable by the Fund starting 20 March 2015 when the Amendment no. 2 to the current Investment Management Agreement in force, was partially endorsed by the FSA, but was also influenced by the change in the base fee rate starting September 2014 from 0.479% per year to 0.60% per year (when this Investment Management Agreement entered into force) and by the change in the notional value used in calculation of this fee.
The total investment management and administration fees in 2015 included the base fee in amount of RON 53.4 million (2014: RON 56.5 million) and the distribution fee in amount of RON 14.9 million (2014: nil).
Intermediaries fees and other expenses related to disposal of portfolio holdings were lower in 2015 as compared to 2014, mainly as a result of the lower value of disposal transactions carried by the Fund during 2015.
FSA monthly fees decreased, mainly due to the decrease of the FSA fee rate from 0.1% per year to 0.0936% per year (i.e. 0.0078% per month) and due to the decrease of the Fund's total NAV on which these fees are based.
Other operating expenses included mainly litigation assistance and legal advisory expenses, valuation expenses, internal and external audit expenses and investor relations expenses.
