DESCRIPTION OF NAV BASIS

Net Asset Value is calculated according to regulations currently applying to Fondul Proprietatea, approved by Local Regulator (CNVM Regulation no. 4/2010 as subsequently amended). Where there is trading activity in the last 30 trading days, shares listed on a regulated market are valued at closing price. The shares admitted to trading on AeRO market (alternative trading system) are valued based on the Reference Price method, respectively the average price. Where there is no trading activity in the 30 trading day period for listed investments, the unlisted valuation approach applies. Investments in unlisted companies are valued using either shareholders' equity value per latest annual financial statements (proportionally with the stake held) or by using valuation methods in accordance with International Valuation Standards (fair value principles). Any holding in companies going through an insolvency or reorganization procedure is valued either at zero or at the value provided by an independent valuer, using valuation methods in accordance with International Valuation Standards (fair value principles). Any holding in companies under judicial liquidation procedure, or any other liquidation procedures, as well as in companies under temporary or final suspension of operation, is valued at zero until the procedure is finalised. Starting with the NAV report as at 29 January 2016, the accounting records under IFRS are used for the computation of NAV non-portfolio items.

WHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS?

The Fund's portfolio consists mainly of unlisted financial instruments and consequently the performance of the Fund can fluctuate considerably over time.

Risk related to industry sectors: the Fund has a significant exposure in companies in oil, gas and electricity sector. Therefore, the Fund's performance will depend largely on the overall condition of the industries and markets in which the companies in the Fund's portfolio operate.

Risk related to Romania: The Fund holds significant holdings in companies that are controlled by Romanian State. Past experience indicates that management of these companies is often replaced after government changes, which may affect the financial results of such companies in the Fund's portfolio and the Fund's overall performance.

Other materially relevant risks are unlisted investment risk, and share discount to NAV risk. For full details of all of the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the "Risk Factors" section of the Fund in the current prospectus of Fondul Proprietatea.
