To the Shareholders
Pursuant to the legal requirements, the Board of Directors of Altri, SGPS, S.A. ("Altri") hereby presents its Management Report for the first half of 2021.
MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
The second quarter of this year continued to be a challenging time for Altri and for Portugal, in a pandemic situation, more than a year after it started in our Country.
A moment that necessarily affects the activity of our teams, our partners and customers. We have taken all the necessary measures to ensure, as a priority, the safety and well-being of all those who share our daily lives and the company has shown that it is prepared to face this challenge with resilience, creativity and focus on delivering results to all our stakeholders. I would like to thank all of our people for their dedication and the example they have set during this challenging period.
In this context, I note the strong operational and financial performance of Altri, with the establishment of quarterly and half-year records for production and sales. Our industrial units, which are second generation biorefineries, increased, without exception, their performance, allowing us to supply the market with base materials for thousands of products that are part of our daily lives, as well as to increase domestic sales and exports. In this period, the company recorded a strong growth in EBITDA to € 69.4 M, which represents an increase of +132% year-on-year, and +75.8% over the first quarter of the year. In the first semester, the Group also presented very significant results, with EBITDA growing to € 108.9 M, +72.8% when compared to the same period of last year.
In terms of forest management, Altri has contributed significantly to an increasingly better production forest, by systematically supporting producers and partners in the adoption of best practices and certification of their plantations.
A quarter that is also marked by the placement in the capital market of the subsidiary GreenVolt, in an absolutely record time and with the full commitment of its exceptional team.
Also in terms of our commitment to contribute to a more renewable world, Altri reinforced its commitment to measures that will allow the Group to meet its demanding Commitment 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

INTRODUCTION
Altri was incorporated in March 2005 and quickly became known and recognised as a leading European producer of bleached eucalyptus pulp and, more recently, of dissolving pulp. The company is now also a relevant player in the renewable energy sector, particularly in industrial cogeneration using black liquor and biomass, as its forestry strategy is based on the full use of all the components provided by the forest: pulp, black liquor and forest wastes.
All the shares representing Altri's share capital are admitted to trading on a regulated market - Euronext Lisbon integrating its main reference index, PSI-20.
Altri's success is due to a variety of factors, most notably the high level of investment made, especially in recent years - Altri has invested in the last ten years more than 464 million Euro in industrial units in Portugal, equipping them with the most advanced technology available on the global market, adapting them, right from the start, to the conditions of the New BREF (Best Available Techniques – Reference Document for the Production of Pulp, Paper and Board). Therefore, Altri's industrial units are now national and international references in terms of best practices and environmental compliance.
Altri has three pulp mills in Portugal: Celulose Beira Industrial (Celbi), S.A., in Figueira da Foz, Celtejo – Empresa de Celulose do Tejo, S.A., in Vila Velha de Ródão and Caima – Indústria de Celulose, S.A., in Constância, with an installed capacity of production of eucalyptus pulp of more than 1 million tonnes per year in the three units as a whole. Additionally, Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A. (previously designated by Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A.) materializes the presence of Altri in the renewable energy sector, being currently composed by six biomass power plants which generates energy through biomass, considering the acquisition of Tilbury, in the United Kingdom, on 30 June 2021.
The forest is a strategic asset for Altri. At the end of 2020, Altri, through its subsidiaries, Altri Florestal, S.A. and Florestsul, S.A., managed 86.3 hectares of forest in Portugal. Altri's management practices are certified by the main sustainable forest management certification systems, a guarantee that the Company will achieve its goals, now and in the future.
In these lands, eucalyptus stands out as the main crop of Altri's forest, ensuring a self-supply that complements the supply provided by the wood and biomass market. These lands are fully certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most renowned certification bodies worldwide.
Although Altri's forests are scattered across the country, they are mostly concentrated in Tejo's valley, a fact that makes them even more relevant due to their proximity to Altri's manufacturing units. This proximity is extremely relevant from the strategic point of view, because it allows optimising transportation costs, while ensuring a greater efficiency in the mobilisation of wood when compared to the production of wood located at farther distances.
The pursuit of Altri's industrial strategy is based on integrated forest management in Portugal, which aims at optimising the forest, guaranteeing that all its components are fully used. Thus, eucalyptus is processed in Altri's mills, producing paper pulp and electricity (cogeneration), while the bark, the branches and the forest waste are used to generate electricity using biomass.
Altri's development strategy is clearly based on the reinforcement of its operational efficiency and, at the same time, on the diversification of the sources of revenue for segments with higher added value and that enable an evolution in the value chain. Thus, in order to comfortably compete in the commodity market, and in a context marked by an adverse exchange rate, the Company must reduce its operating costs and, on the other hand, invest in the manufacture of products with higher added value, which will allow the Group to grow.
Altri aims to become the most efficient producer on a global scale providing a door-to-door service to its customers. With this goal in mind, Altri developed a strategy based on three pillars:
Cutting cash cost per tonne: the projects completed in recent years and those underway do not entail an increase in fixed costs, leading to a dilution of the cash cost per tonne;
- Strategic location of the customer base: the prime location for Altri's customers is Western and Central Europe, where it is possible to optimise the balance between the quality of customer service and transportation costs;
- Wood self-sufficiency: Altri has under its intervention around 86.3 thousand hectares of forest in Portugal, ensuring a potential level of wood self-sufficiency around 15 to 20%.
In pursuit of its continuous improvement goals, and in particular regarding the valorisation of forest resources, in 2005, Altri acquired 50% of EDP Produção - Bioeléctrica, S.A. to generate electricity from forest biomass in partnership with EDP. This company is the leader in its market segment, with a 50% share of licences for generating electricity from forest biomass. In 2018, Altri reached an agreement with EDP to acquire, directly and through its subsidiary Caima - Indústria de Celulose, S.A., the remaining 50%, thereby taking control of 100% of that Company (now Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A.).
Hence, Altri, through its subsidiary Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A. ("GreenVolt") owns and manages currently five biomass power plants, which demonstrates its strong investment in the renewable energy sector and raised it to a prominent position in this market in Portugal.
Also, regarding the energy sector, Altri is also investing in generating electricity via renewable-based industrial cogeneration (a process based on the use of plant components with combustible properties).
On 30 June 2021, subsidiary GreenVolt took the first step towards international expansion, having acquired an urban biomass plant (urban wood waste, such as demolition/construction waste) in Tilbury, United Kingdom, with an installed capacity of 42MW. GreenVolt has agreed a partnership with an investor in United Kingdom (Equitix Investment Management Ltd), reserving for itself a majority position. This acquisition allows GreenVolt to pursue its ambitious project of growth and internationalization, consolidating its position in the renewable energy sector at the European level and contributing to the expansion of the business.
Also on 30 June 2021, subsidiary GreenVolt entered into an agreement to acquire 70% of Profit Energy's share capital. The completion of the transaction is subject to the verification of a number of conditions, including a non-opposition decision by the Competition Authority, and the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of August 2021. Profit Energy is an engineering company specialized in the development and design of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, with a particular focus on solar photovoltaic systems and LED lighting, including the provision of project development and engineering services, procurement and construction, and operation and maintenance services.
Already after the conclusion of second quarter 2021, and following the communications disclosed in this regard, an increase in GreenVolt's share capital in the amount of 177,599,998.75 Euro was recorded on July 14, 2021, following which 41,788,235 new ordinary, book-entry, nominative shares without nominal value were issued at a unit subscription price of 4.25 Euro. These shares were subscribed:
- By a group of professional investors, who subscribed 30,588,235 shares, amounting to 129,999,998.75 euros;
- By the company V-Ridium Europe Sp. z.o.o., which subscribed 11,200,000 shares, in the amount of 47,600,000 euros (with an issue premium in the amount of 8,400,000 euros), by delivering 11,200,000 shares of V-Ridium Power Group, Sp. z.o.o., representing 100% of the share capital of that company, which is now wholly owned by GreenVolt.
V-Ridium is a Polish company, operating in the renewable energy sector, and is a reference player in this sector. It has a pipeline of wind and solar projects, mostly in Poland and Greece, with about 2,800 MW of which more than 1,500 MW are at an advanced stage of development.
All the shares representing GreenVolt's share capital were admitted to trading on Euronext Lisbon on July 15, 2021.
On July 26, GreenVolt informed that, as agreed in the Underwriting Agreement entered into on July 1, 2021, the Joint Global Coordinators acting in the name and on behalf of the Managers, exercised the Greenshoe Option, resulting in the issue by GreenVolt of 4,588,235 additional shares, with a unit price of 4.25 Euro per share. Accordingly, GreenVolt
will resolve on the corresponding additional capital increase in the amount of 19,499,998.75 Euro, to be carried out through the issue of the new optional shares.
Consequently, the current functional organizational structure of the Altri Group is as follows:

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
PULP SEGMENT
According to data from the Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC), World Chemical Market Pulp Global 100 Report (May 2021), the cumulative total demand for the first five months of 2021 of hardwood pulp decreased slightly in 1.3% compared to the same period of 2020. This decrease is justified by the integration of part of the pulp that ceased to come to the market by a large producer of pulp and paper in Southwest Asia. However, there was an increase in China (+1.3%) and in Western Europe (+0.9%). The inventory level on hand at hardwood pulp producers were 37 days, which corresponds to a decrease of 4 days compared to the level of inventories that occurred in 2Q20.
During 2Q21, Pulp prices (BHKP) showed a strong increase (+27% in USD) and there were several announcements of price increases during the quarter. The demand in China had a positive effect on prices in Europe. At the beginning of July 2021, the PIX market price was 1,114 USD/ton, which compares with 865 USD/ton at the end of 1Q21 and 680 USD/ton at the end of 2020. On average, the price recorded by PIX was 1,009 USD/ton during 2Q21 vs 767 USD/ton during 1Q21.

ENERGY SEGMENT (GREENVOLT)
The Altri Group, through its subsidiary GreenVolt, operates five thermoelectric power plants from forest biomass with about 98 MW of installed capacity, thus consolidating its strategy of integration between the forest biomass producing industry and energy production from this renewable resource.
Total revenues associated with the portuguese forest biomass power generation unit in 2Q21 amounted to € 20.8 M, which translates as a 4.0% decrease vs. 2Q20. EBITDA reached € 7.2 M, and despite an increase of 6.3% vs. 1Q21, registered a decrease of 8.2% vs. 2Q20. This decrease is due to a shutdown of the power plant located at Vila Velha de Rodão, associated with the replacement of equipment to improve the efficiency of production at this same plant, which reduced the sales of this unit to zero during the months of May and June, while maintaining the level of fixed costs. It should be noted that the EBITDA mentioned excludes approximately € 3 M of non-recurring transaction costs, mainly due to the acquisition of Tilbury. 2Q21 2Q20 2Q21/2Q20 1Q21 2Q21/1Q21 Energy Sales (GWh) 172.8 182.1 -5.1% 179.2 -3.6% Energy Revenues (€ 000') 20,764 21,628 -4.0% 21,200 -2.1% EBITDA Energy (€ 000')* 7,190 7,830 -8.2% 6,766 6.3% EBITDA mg 34.6% 36.2% -1.66 pp 31.9% +2.7 pp

Based on this strategy, and on the results of an auscultation carried out at the end of 2020, the main sustainability objectives for the Group were identified, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, and with the expectations of our stakeholders. Thus resulting in the definition of the "2030 Commitment" of the Altri Group.
| 2030 Commitment | 2018 | 2030 Goal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 'T | Reduce the specific water use $(m^3 / tSA)$ in Altri's industrial units by 50% | 20 | 10 |
| $\frac{1}{\overline{q}}$ | Reduce the organic load (COD, kg $O2$ / tSA) in Altri's industrial effluents by 60% | 11 | $\boldsymbol{4}$ |
| $\circ$ | Increase by at least 60% the amount of renewable electric energy injected into the National Electricity Network (GWh) |
625 | 1000 |
| $\ddot{\bullet}$ | 100% of the primary energy consumed at Altri's industrial units is from renewable sources | 83% | 100% |
| $\overline{\vec{q}}$ | Doubling the number of women in leadership roles | 19 | 38 |
| $\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\overline{\over$ | 100% of process waste recovered or reused | 77% | 100% |
| 815 | Reduce specific GHG emissions of scope 1 and 2 by 60% (kg $CO2$ / tSA) | 192 | 66 |
| Reduce scope 3 emissions by 30% (kg CO 2 /tSA) | 292 | 202 | |
| Increase the percentage of wood consumption with forest management certification by 40% | 57% | 80% | |
| Duplicate the area under natural conservation management (ha) | 7980 | 16000 | |
| STRENE RED OF | Develop 13 biodiversity stations and biospots | $\overline{2}$ | 15 |
| Walk towards zero accidents with lost days * | Continuous improvement in order to achieve this goal |
Over the next quarters we will be updating the various initiatives aligned with the different objectives of Commitment 2030 developed by the Altri Group.
In order to reinforce its 2030 commitment to double the number of women in leadership positions, Altri, as a signatory member of the United Nations Global Compact, has joined Target Gender Equality (TGE), an accelerator program that supports companies around the world in setting and achieving ambitious targets for women's representation and leadership in companies.
5 Total net investment: Payments in the period related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment related to the operational activity of the Pulp and Energy segments.
OUTLOOK
In the Pulp segment, after a very strong start to the year, with Pulp (BHKP) prices rising 62% (in USD), more stability is expected for the second half of the year. However, we continue to have consistent signs of solid demand in Europe supported by some change in consumption patterns of some paper segments and by the 18% reduction in pulp inventories in European ports in the first six months of the year.
The focus of the Altri Group continues to be on developing operational improvements in its industrial units in order to improve their efficiency and maintain a level of profitability that is a reference of the sector in Europe.
In the energy segment, through its listed subsidiary GreenVolt, it will continue to develop the ambitious project of national and international expansion. GreenVolt intends to consolidate its leadership position in Portugal and become a reference player at international level in the renewable energy market, both in forest biomass and also in solar and wind energy.

1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Altri, SGPS, S.A. ('Altri' or 'the Company') is a public company incorporated on 1 March 2005, whose head office is located at Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, 818, in Oporto, and its main activity involves managing shareholdings, while its shares are listed at Euronext Lisbon.
Altri is dedicated to managing shareholdings primarily in the industrial sector, as the parent company of the group of companies shown under Note 4 and referred to as the Altri Group. There is no other company above it that includes these consolidated financial statements. The Altri Group's current activities focus on producing bleached eucalyptus pulp at three production plants and on generating electricity via waste consumption and forest biomass through its power plants. In June 2021, with the acquisition of Tilbury, in the United Kingdom, through its subsidiary Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A., the Group now includes six thermoelectric power plants.
Faced with this reality in the Altri Group, its Board of Directors considers there are two business segments, namely, production and commercialization of bleached eucalyptus pulp and electricity generation via waste consumption and forest biomass, being management information also prepared and examined on that basis (Note 15).
The Altri Group's condensed consolidated financial statements are shown in Euros, in amounts rounded off to the nearest Euro. This is the currency used by the Group in its transactions and, as such, is deemed to be the functional currency.
The exchange rate used in converting the foreign currency to Euro was as follows:
| 30.06.2021 | ||
|---|---|---|
| End of the | Average for the | |
| financial year | financial year | |
| Pound sterling | 0.85805 | 0.86801 |
2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements, for the six months period ended on 30 June 2021, were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and include the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, as well as, the selected explanatory notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required to be published on the annual financial statements, and should, therefore, be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Altri Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2020.
The accounting policies adopted for preparation of the attached condensed consolidated financial statements were consistently applied during the periods being compared.
The Board of Directors assessed the capacity of the Company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates to operate on a going concern basis, based on the entire relevant information, facts and circumstances, of financial, commercial or other nature, including events subsequent to the condensed consolidated financial statements' reference date, as available regarding the future. As a result of the assessment conducted, the Board of Directors concluded that it has adequate resources to keep up its operations, which it does not intend to cease in the short term. Therefore, it was considered appropriate to use the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The attached condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the accounting books and records of the company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, adjusted in the consolidation process, in the assumption of going concern basis. When preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group used historical cost as its basis, modified, where applicable, via fair value measurement of i) biological assets measured at fair value, and ii) certain financial instruments, which are recorded at their fair value.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions and critical judgements in the process of determining accounting policies to be adopted
FINANCIAL INFORMATION 1H2021 Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
by the Group, with significant impact on the book value of assets and liabilities, as well as on income and expenses for the period. Although these estimates are based on the best experience of the Board of Directors and on its best expectations regarding current and future events and actions, current and future results may differ from these estimates. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas with significant assumptions and estimates are disclosed in Note 2.4 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2020.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND COMPARABILITY OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the period, there were no changes in accounting policies. Likewise, no material errors were recognised in relation to previous financial years.
New accounting standards and their impact in these condensed consolidated financial statements:
Up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the European Union endorsed the following accounting standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, mandatorily applied to the financial year beginning on 1 January 2021:
| Effective date (financial years begun on or after) |
|
|---|---|
| Amendment to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts - deferral of IFRS 9 | 01 Jan 2021 |
| Amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 |
01 Jan 2021 |
The adoption of these standards and interpretations had no relevant impact on the Group's financial statements.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments, and revisions were endorsed by the European Union and have mandatory application in future years:
Effective date (financial years begun on or after)
Amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37 and Annual Improvements 2018-2020
01 Jan 2022
The Group did not proceed with the early implementation of these amendments in the condensed financial statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2021 due to the fact that their application is not mandatory. No significant impacts are expected on the financial statements resulting from their adoption.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION 1H2021 Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes

01 Jan 2023 |
| Proposed changes to leases IFRS 16: Covid-19 Leases Concessions after 30 June 2021 |
01 Apr 2021 |
These standards have not yet been endorsed by the European Union and, as such, the Group did not proceed with the early adoption of any of these standards in the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2021, as their application is not mandatory, and is in the process of examining the expected effects of these standards.

This plant, with approximately 42 MW available for renewable generation, is one of the UK's largest plants producing energy through biomass from municipal wood waste. It operates with the majority of its revenues under the Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs) system. The ROC component of revenues grows according to the Retail Price Index (RPI), and a derivative contract has been signed that sets this annual growth at 3.4532% until 2037 (Note 11). For the main cost items biomass and operation and maintenance - long-term contracts are in place.
The Group's international expansion strategy in the energy segment is based on the exportation of its technical competencies, namely operational excellence. This acquisition fits in the subsidiary GreenVolt's strategic pillars, namely the international expansion, the diversification of investment styles and the reinforcement of the assets and competencies base.
Thus, a partnership was agreed with an investor from the United Kingdom (Equitix Investment Management Ltd), reserving for the subsidiary GreenVolt a 51% shareholding position.
In accordance with the agreement between the subsidiary GreenVolt and Equitix, the Board of Directors of Altri considers that it controls Tilbury in accordance with the principles of IFRS 10. As the relevant matters, as defined by the Board of Directors of Altri, are approved and/or controlled by Altri, through the subsidiary GreenVolt and the decisions where the approval of Equitix is required are deemed to be protective rights of Equitix. Therefore, their results will be included in Altri by the full consolidation method considering that the Group controls the relevant activities.
At the date of presentation of these financial statements and taking into consideration that the acquisition was concluded at 30 June 2021, the purchase price allocation is still ongoing as prescribed by IFRS 3, hence, the difference arising on acquisition (consideration paid vs. fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed) was fully allocated to Goodwill. The purchase price allocation will be completed by the end of the twelfth month from the acquisition date, as permitted by IFRS 3.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION 1H2021 Condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
As at 30 June 2021, Altri recognised the non-controlling interests based on the share capital increase performed by Equitix on Lakeside Topco, subsidiary that holds 100% of Lakeside Bidco, amounting to 35.0 million pounds (approximately 40.8 million euros).
The acquired tangible fixed assets relate entirely to the assets allocated to the biomass power plant in the United Kingdom, whose construction was completed in January 2019. Therefore, a provision for dismantling and decommissioning of the plant was also recorded, to cover existing liabilities at the end of the useful life of the assets, relating to the physical dismantling of the plant, recovery of the land and other associated costs. Additionally, the balance of suppliers acquired is mainly related to amounts payable to suppliers responsible for the construction of the plant.
6. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
As at 30 June 2021 and 2020, Cash and cash equivalents are as follows:

Additionally, the balance of suppliers acquired is mainly related to amounts payable to suppliers responsible for the construction of the plant. |

|---|---|---|
| Regarding the right-of-use assets acquired, these relate to the land lease agreement, near the Port of Tilbury, which corresponds to the land where the power plant is located. |
||
| Finally, as part of the acquisition, an intangible asset was acquired, which relates to a supplementary agreement to the Power Purchase Agreement (signed on 23 March 2015) with ESB Independent Generation Trading Limited (ESB IGT), where part of the terms of the agreement are adjusted, which will benefit Tilbury. In this sense, Tilbury had to make a payment of around 20.0 million euros, which will be reflected in an increase in future revenues, as a result of the increase in the net energy sale |
||
| With effect on 31 March 2021, the companies Ribatejo Green, Lda, Amieira Green, Lda, Piara Solar, Lda and Maior Green, Lda, which represented a residual contribution in the Group, were liquidated. |

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2021, investment payments refer to the payments related to the acquisition of the subsidiary Golditábua, S.A. (in the amount of 2.3 million euros) and the payments related to the acquisition of the subsidiary Tilbury, including the payment of Shares and the payment of Shareholders Loans, net of the Cash and Cash equivalents incorporated as of the acquisition date (in the amount of 167.0 million euros).
In the "Bank deposits" caption, a captive amount is included, which is intended for the payment of debt related to bank loans.
7. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES
According to current Portuguese legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, tax benefits granted, or when inspections, complaints or challenges are in progress, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, the deadlines are extended or suspended. Therefore, the Group's tax returns since 2017 may still be subject to review.
The Board of Directors of Altri believes that any potential corrections resulting from reviews/inspections of these tax returns by the tax authorities will not have a significant effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2021.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
| The amount recorded under 'Provisions' includes the dismantling provision of the power generation plants operated by Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A. and its subsidiaries. The increase recorded in the six months period ended 30 June 2021 refers to the unwinding of the discount. This discount that results from the passage of time is recorded against the caption 'Financial expenses'. The amount recorded under the caption 'Provisions' is the best estimate from the Board of Directors in order to address the entirety of losses to be incurred with currently ongoing legal proceedings. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Altri Group had in force derivative financial instrument contracts associated with hedging interest rate changes, inflation changes and derivative financial instrument contracts associated with hedging exchange rate changes. All these instruments are recorded at fair value. Altri Group subsidiaries only use derivatives to hedge cash flows associated with operations generated by their activity.

12. FINANCIAL RESULTS
| In June 2021, with the acquisition of Tilbury, derivative financial instrument contracts associated with the hedging of interest rate and inflation rate variations, were put into effect. These instruments are recorded at fair value. On 30 June 2021, changes in the fair value of derivatives were recorded in equity. |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As mentioned above, the growth of the ROC component of Tilbury's revenue is influenced by the Retail Price Index (RPI), and, with the aim of hedging the uncertainty associated with the evolution of the RPI, an inflation derivative contract was celebrated, which fixed the annual growth at 3.4532% until 2037. |
||||
| Additionally, also arising from the acquisition of Tilbury, an interest rate derivative contract was celebrated, with the objective of mitigating the volatility risk regarding the evolution of the interest rate of the new loan constituted in 2021, with a nominal value of approximately 140 million euros. In this case, the variable interest rate (indexing) "SONIA" was exchanged for a fixed interest rate of 0.8658%. |

The caption "Shareholder loans" includes a loan obtained from a shareholder of one of GreenVolt's subsidiaries, of Lakeside Topco Limited. This loan bears interest at a rate of 7% and the payment date of the loan is due on 31 March 2054. Thus, the totality of the loan was classified as non-current.
17. APPROPRIATION OF NET PROFIT
Regarding the 2020 financial year, the Board of Directors proposed in its annual report, which was approved in the General Meeting held on 30 April 2021, that the individual net profit of Altri, SGPS, S.A. in the amount of EUR 95,148,555, should be allocated as follows:
| Free reserves | EUR 43,865,637 |
|---|---|
| Dividends | EUR 51,282,918 |
The distribution of profits for the financial year results in the payment of a gross dividend of EUR 0.25 per share.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 14 July 2021, an increase in the subsidiary GreenVolt's share capital in the amount of 177,599,998.75 Euro was recorded, following which 41,788,235 new ordinary, book-entry, nominative shares without nominal value were issued at a unit subscription price of 4.25 Euro. As such, the share capital of the subsidiary which was that of 70,000,000 Euros is now of 247,599,998.75 Euros, represented by 116,788,235 ordinary, book-entry, nominative shares without nominal value.
These shares were subscribed:
- By a group of professional investors, who subscribed 30,588,235 shares, amounting to 129,999,998.75 euros;
- By the company V-Ridium Europe Sp. z.o.o., which subscribed 11,200,000 shares, in the amount of 47,600,000 euros (with an issue premium in the amount of 8,400,000 euros), by delivering 11,200,000 shares of V-Ridium Power Group, Sp. z.o.o., representing 100% of the share capital of that company, which is now wholly owned by GreenVolt.
On July 26, 2021, the Joint Global Coordinators, acting in the name and on behalf of the Managers, exercised the Greenshoe Option, resulting in the issue by the subsidiary GreenVolt of 4,588,235 additional shares, with a unit price of 4.25 Euro per share. Accordingly, GreenVolt will resolve on the corresponding additional capital increase in the amount of 19,499,998.75 Euro, to be carried out through the issue of the new optional shares. As such, the share capital of the subsidiary which was that of 247,599,998.75 Euros is now of 267,099,997.50 Euros, represented by 121,376,470 ordinary, book-entry, nominative shares without nominal value.
All the shares representing the subsidiary GreenVolt's share capital were admitted to trading on Euronext Lisbon on July 15, 2021.
The magnitude, extent and durability of the current Covid-19 pandemic context will depend on the effectiveness of the mass vaccination process, as well as the effectiveness of any additional containment measures defined by governments. We believe that the combination of these various factors will define the effects on the global economy and on consumption patterns.
From 30 June 2021 to the date of issue of this report, there were no other relevant facts that could materially affect the financial position and future results of the Altri Group, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates included in the consolidation.
