On 12 June 2012, the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania passed the Law on the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal (hereinafter referred to as "the LNGT"), setting forth that the installation and operation of the LNGT, including the infrastructure and the connector, may be co-financed with a mark-up imposed on the natural gas transmission tariff. Accordingly, on 9 October 2012, the NCCPE adopted Resolution No. O3-294 "On the Adoption of Procedure for the Administration of Funds to Finance in Part or in Full the Costs Related to the Installation and Operation of the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal, Including Infrastructure and Connector thereof", setting forth a procedure for the administration of the aforesaid funds. On 28 September 2012, the NCCPE by its Resolution No. O3-275 "On Amending the National Control Commission for Prices and Energy Resolution No. O3-106 on the Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution Price Cap Calculation Methodology as of 8 August 2008" set forth that funds required to compensate in full or in part for the costs incurred in relation to the installation of the LNGT, including the infrastructure and connector thereof, by a special NCCPE decision to that effect may be imposed as a complementary and integral component of the natural gas transmission price cap – an LNGT mark-up. By its Resolution No. O3-330 as of 26 October 2012 the NCCPE set the LNGT mark-up amount for the year 2013: LTL 37.53 per thousand cubic meters.

12 Commitments and contingencies

Legal disputes

According to the Republic of Lithuania Law on the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal and applicable resolutions adopted by the NCCPE, all the natural gas system users that transport natural gas via the gas transmission system, when settling accounts for gas transmission services rendered to them must pay an additional tariff mark-up constituting an integral part of the overall natural gas transmission tariff – an LNGT mark-up (also referred to as the LNGT funds). In accordance with the statutory provisions, the LNGT funds shall be administered by the natural gas transmission system operator. Before 31 July 2013, the functions of the administrator of the LNGT funds were performed by AB Lietuvos Dujos. Following the NCCPE decision on the withdrawal of the AB Lietuvos Dujos natural gas transmission operator’s license and on the issuance of a fixed-term gas transmission operator’s license to AB Amber Grid. On 17 September 2013, AB Amber Grid adjusted the amount of the claim. By court ruling as of 12 December 2013, the Court of First Instance granted in part the aforesaid claim of AB Amber Grid, i.e. the Court ordered to pay all the requested debt amount and legal interest amount, but the interest awarded by the Court was reduced from 0.04 per cent to 0.02 percent. AB Achema lodged an appeal, and AB Amber Grid also lodged an appeal – it appealed against the part of the court ruling concerning the award of interest. The outcome of the case will have no financial impact on the Company, because should the aforesaid claim by AB Amber Grid be granted, the amount awarded by the Court would have to be transferred by AB Amber Grid to the final beneficiary of the LNGT-funds.

On 19 November 2012, AB Achema appealed to the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court requesting revocation of items 3.1 and 4 of Resolution No. 03-317 of 19 October 2012 “On fixing the fund amount to compensate, in full or in part, for the costs of the construction and operation of the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal, its infrastructure and connector in the year 2013” and requesting repeal of item 2 of the NCCPE Resolution No. 03-330 of 26 October 2012 “On the adjustment of AB Lietuvos Dujos natural gas transmission and distribution price caps and introduction of a complementary and inseparable component of the natural gas transmission price cap (the LNGT mark-up) for the year 2013”. On 29 January 2013, by a court order AB Lietuvos Dujos was involved into the judicial dispute as an interested third party. On 1 August 2013, by a Transfer-Acceptance Deed the aforesaid case was transferred by AB Lietuvos Dujos to AB Amber Grid. In the opinion of the Management, the outcome of the case is unclear and cannot be reasonably estimated.

On 10 July 2013, AB Lietuvos Dujos received a notification by the Panevėžys District Court that on 3 July 2013 the Court issued a ruling to apply to a Specialized Judicial Panel for Jurisdiction Disputes requesting opinion thereof whether the lawsuit of the plaintiff, a prosecutor of the Public Interest Defense Department of the Panevėžys District Prosecutor’s Office against the defendants, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania, AB Lietuvos Dujos, the third parties –the Lithuanian Road Administration under the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Lithuania, and VĮ Panevėžio Regiono Keliai – regarding the revocation of the Minister of Economy’s orders in the part of the transfer of a road of national importance, application of restitution is attributable to the general competence courts or to the administrative court. On 1 August 2013, by a Transfer-Acceptance Deed AB Lietuvos Dujos transferred the aforesaid case to AB Amber Grid. One part of the road that is owned by AB Amber Grid and leads to the Panevėžys Gas Compressor Station coincides with a section of the Piniava-Paliūniškis Road, which has the status of a road of state importance. Since by law all roads of state importance shall be owned by the right of exclusive ownership exclusively by the State itself, the prosecutor seeks annulment of the orders issued by the Minister of Economy and the property transmission deeds in question, whereby this road was registered as assets of AB Lietuvos Dujos, now – the assets of AB Amber Grid. The action has been revised several times, as the prosecutor adjusted his claims. The case is pending before the Court. The outcome could have a financial impact on the Company, since the Company seeks to be awarded a compensation, should the Court annul AB Amber Grid’s ownership rights to at least a part (6,534 sq. m.) of the road in question. In the opinion of the Company’s Management, the outcome of the case is unclear and can not be reasonably estimated.
