As the unbundling of activities falls into the category of transactions made between companies under common control, and as the Company was to continue the same activities as the ones that were carried out when it still belonged to AB Lietuvos Dujos, AB Amber Grid recognised all the assets and liabilities transferred to it at the book value as recorded at the moment of transfer by the transferor (i.e. AB Lietuvos Dujos) itself.

Legal disputes

According to the Republic of Lithuania Law on the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal and applicable resolutions adopted by the NCCPE, the natural gas system users that transport natural gas via the gas transmission system, when settling

Commitments and contingencies (continued)

accounts for gas transmission services rendered to them must pay an inseparable component of the natural gas transmission price, i.e. the LNGT-related extra tariff (surcharge).

In the light of the fact that AB Achema as a user of the gas transmission system, has systemically failed to pay the LNGT-related extra tariff (surcharge), AB Lietuvos Dujos, being the administrator of the LNGT funds, on 12 April 2013, filed a lawsuit with Kaunas Regional Court for payment of the LNGT-related extra tariff (surcharge), award of default interest and the obligation to perform the contract. BY 1 August 2013 acceptance certificate AB Lietuvos dujos transferred the aforesaid case to AB Amber Grid. On 17 September 2013, AB Amber Grid revised the amount of the claim. By 12 December 2013 judgement the court of first instance partially satisfied the claim brought by AB Amber Grid, i.e. the Court awarded the total requested debt and procedural interest; nevertheless, the court reduced the interest to be awarded from from 0.04 percent to 0.02 percent. AB Achema lodged an appeal, and AB Amber Grid also lodged an appeal concerning the award of interest. The disposition of the case should not have any financial impact on the Company because, as the court satisfied the claim brought by AB Amber Grid, the awarded amount of money shall be remitted to the beneficiary of the LNGT-related extra tariff (surcharge).

On 7 March 2014, AB Amber Grid addressed Kaunas Regional Court with a claim requesting to award the debt for the outstanding LNGT-related extra tariff (surcharge) amounting to LTL 11,009,062.23 for the period from 1 September 2013 to 31 December 2013 and award the default interest for the LNGT-related extra tariff (surcharge) amounting to LTL 375,668.35 not paid in a timely manner for the afore-mentioned period. The case is heard in the court of first instance. The disposition of the case should not have any financial impact on the Company because, as the court satisfied the claim brought by Amber Grid AB, the awarded amount of money shall be remitted to the beneficiary of the LNGT-related extra tariff (surcharge).

On 19 November 2012, AB Achema addressed Vilnius Regional Administrative Court requesting to revoke Paragraphs 3.1 and 4 of Resolution No 03-317 of 19 October 2012 "On Setting the Amount of Funds Allocated for Full or Partial Compensation of the Costs of Installation and Operation of the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal, Infrastructure and Connector Thereof for the Year 2013" and requesting to repeal Paragraph 2 of Resolution No O3-330 of the NCC of 26 October 2012 "On Adjustment of the Tariff Caps for Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution of AB Lietuvos dujos and Setting of the Tariff Cap for the Inseparable Component of the Natural Gas Transmission Price (the LNGT-Related Extra Tariff (Surcharge)) for the Year 2013". AB Amber Grid is involved in the proceedings as a third party concerned. The case is heard in the court of first instance. In the opinion of the management bodies, disposition of the case is not clear and cannot be reasonably assessed.

In 10 July 2013, Panevėžys District Court received a claim brought according to the plea raised by a prosecutor at the Public Interest Protection Department of Panevėžys Regional Prosecutor's Office against the defendants, namely, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania, AB Lietuvos dujos, the third parties concerned, namely, the Lithuanian Road Administration under the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Lithuania, and the state enterprise Panevėžio regiono keliai, regarding the revocation of the orders of the Minister of Economy in the part concerning transfer of a road of national significance, application of restitution, which is attributable to the general competence courts or the administrative court. By 1 August 2013 acceptance certificate AB Lietuvos dujos transferred the afore-mentioned case to AB Amber Grid. A part of the road belonging to AB Amber Grid by ownership right which leads to the Panevėžys Gas Compressor Station falls with a section of Piniava-Paliūniškis Road which has the status of a road of national significance. As all roads of national significance shall be owned by the right of exclusive ownership exclusively by the State itself, the prosecutor requests for annulment of the orders adopted by the Minister of Economy and the acceptance certificates in question whereby the above road was registered as the property of AB Lietuvos dujos and currently is registered as the ownership of AB Amber Grid. The claim has been revised several times, as the prosecutor revised his pleas. The case is pending before the court of first instance. The disposition of the case could have a financial impact on the Company, since the Company seeks that a compensation was awarded to it if the court annuls the ownership rights of AB Amber Grid to at least a part (6,534 sq. m.) of the road in question. In the opinion of the management bodies, the disposition of the case is unclear and cannot be reasonably estimated.
