Franklin Templeton International Services S.à r.l., in its capacity as Alternative Investment Fund Manager and Sole Director ("Fund Manager") of Fondul Proprietatea S.A. (the "Fund"), would like to update shareholders with respect to the implementation status of the share capital decrease by reducing the shares' nominal value for the coverage of the cumulated accounting losses and the distribution to shareholders of RON 0.05 per share, as approved through the Fund's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting Resolution no. 10 of 31 October 2016 ("EGM Resolution no. 10/2016").

Further to the current report published on the Fund's webpage on 10 March 2017, the Financial Supervisory Authority ("FSA") informed us on 16 March 2017 that the endorsement request of the Fund's share capital decrease and the amendment of the Constitutive Act "has been postponed to be discussed during FSA's Board meeting to be held next week" (per our understanding, the meetings of the Board of the FSA take place usually on Wednesdays or Tuesdays).
