(the "Fund"), in view of the upcoming extraordinary ("EGM") and ordinary ("OGM") meetings on 14 February 2018, would like to recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all the points on the EGM and OGM agendas, except for -     point 2 on the EGM agenda (e.g. the approval of the new Investment Policy Statement) where the Fund Manager refrains from making any recommendation, as the Fund Manager will present options for investment strategy under point 1 of the EGM agenda and the shareholders can express their will by voting on this point 2, and      -     point 2 on the OGM agenda (e.g. the appointment of three members of the Board of Nominees), where the Fund Manager refrains from making any recommendation, as the candidates are nominated and decided by the shareholders. The Fund Manager's voting recommendations contained herein are not binding in any way and should not be deemed under any circumstances as a supporting documentation/argument for substantiating one's vote. The Fund Manager will implement and will comply with all the decisions taken by the Fund's shareholders, irrespective of its recommendations herein, subject to compliance with law and regulation. The Fund Manager would like to remind shareholders that it has summoned both  the EGM and OGM meetings of the Fund's shareholders for 14 February 2018, at "Radisson Blu" Hotel, 63-81 Calea Victoriei Street, Atlas Room, 1st District, Bucharest, Romania, starting at 11:00 a.m. (Romanian time).
