Chapter V – Remuneration of the Fund Manager and of the Board of Nominees

A. The remuneration of the Fund Manager

1. Corporate Governance principles setting the remuneration of the Fund Manager

The remuneration of the Fund Manager of Fondul Proprietatea is part of the Management Agreement negotiated with the Fund Manager and approved by shareholders.

The current remuneration of the Fund Manager is guided by the Management Agreement signed between Fondul Proprietatea and the Fund Manager.

2. The description of the Fund Manager's remuneration

The remuneration due to the Fund Manager is calculated in RON and invoiced and paid in Euro by Fondul Proprietatea in compliance with the following: the amount calculated in RON will be converted into Euro using the official exchange rate for RON to Euro published by National Bank of Romania in the last banking day of the period invoiced.

The remuneration is calculated as (i) a Base remuneration, and (ii) a Distribution remuneration, in each case as set out below and in respect of each Calculation Period.

2.1 Base Remuneration

A base remuneration (the "Base Remuneration") shall be calculated as follows:

Base Remuneration Rate multiplied by the notional amount, multiplied by the number of calendar days during the applicable Calculation Period divided by 365,

where:

the "Base Remuneration Rate" = 45 basis points per year;

1 basis point = 0.0001; and

the "notional amount" is the market capitalization of Fondul Proprietatea, which is defined as:

  • (a) the number of Fondul Proprietatea's paid shares considered on daily basis, minus
  • (b) the weighted average over the applicable Calculation Period of the number of Fondul Proprietatea's settled own shares together with the number of Fondul Proprietatea's equivalent ordinary shares represented by Global Depositary Receipts ("FP GDRs"), in each case where those shares or FP GDRs are held by Fondul Proprietatea as treasury shares,
  • (c) then multiplying the resulting number by the weighted average market price of Fondul Proprietatea's shares calculated for the applicable Calculation Period.

The "weighted average market price" shall be computed based on the daily average market prices of Fondul Proprietatea's shares and corresponding daily volumes, as published by Bucharest Stock Exchange REGS section.

If the number of shares relevant for the computation of the Base Remuneration described above in (a) and (b) changes over the Calculation Period, the Base Remuneration will be an aggregation of the computations for each sub-period.

"Sub-period" is defined as the number of days between two trading dates. The calculation in each subperiod starts on the settlement date of the first transaction (or the beginning of the mandate) and shall end on the date prior to the settlement date of the next transaction (or the end of the mandate).

As the Base Remuneration (including any additional remuneration determined under the previous two paragraphs) is computed using the number of days in a calendar year (365 days), the Base Remuneration Rate used for non-trading days will be the rate applied for the prior trading day.

2.2 Variable remuneration - Distribution Remuneration

It is recognized that distributions beneficial to shareholders would reduce the notional amount upon which the Base Fee is calculated. To reward the Fund Manager for arranging such distributions, a variable remuneration shall be calculated as follows (an amount so calculated in respect of a particular period, a "Distribution Fee"):

  • (a) 250 basis points applied to the value of distributions taking place between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023;
  • (b) 175 basis points applied to the value of distributions taking place between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024.

"Distributions" mean:

(i) Repurchases of Fund shares;

  • (ii) Repurchases of Fund GDRs and/or Depositary Interests ("DI");
  • (iii) Dividends; and
  • (iiv) Returns of share capital.

The calculation of the Distribution Fee shall be made when such distributions become available to shareholders. In case of a repurchase of own shares or of FP GDRs, the calculation of the Distribution Fee shall be made at the date when the own shares repurchase transactions or FP GDRs transactions are settled (i.e. settlement date).

For FP GDRs transactions, the Distribution Fee will be computed taken into account the official exchange rate published by the National Bank of Romania for the date of settlement of FP GDRs transactions.

Any failure on the part of any shareholder to collect, or to take the necessary steps to facilitate the receipt of the distributions made available will not result in any adjustment of the calculation of the Distribution Fee due to the Fund Manager.

2.3 Remuneration of the staff

Fondul Proprietatea does not have own staff, all the necessary services being provided by the Fund Manager, through its own staff and contractors.

The remuneration of the Fund Manager's staff is detailed under the Fund Manager Remuneration Policy.

  • (ii) aiming at mitigating incentives practices which could encourage employees to take unnecessary risks;
  • (iii) remuneration shared between fixed and variable components, with fixed salaries set as a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration so that the Fund Manager is able to operate a fully flexible bonus policy, including the possibility to pay no bonus.

2.4 Payments

2.4.1. Fund Manager

  • (a) The Base remuneration shall be paid by Fondul Proprietatea quarterly, based on the invoices to be issued by the Fund Manager within twenty (20) business days following the end of the quarter for which payment is to be made.

2.4.2. Fund Manager's staff

The FRI Compensation Committee is composed of three non-executive members of the Board of Directors of Franklin Resources Inc. who are independent under applicable corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

The FRI Compensation Committee meets at least once a quarter and periodically reviews the general principles of the FRI remuneration policy. Each year the FRI Compensation Committee sets the annual incentive compensation plan (AIP) pool by considering in particular factors such as FRI's pre-bonus operating income, the overall company performance (actual and projected) as well as investment performance, profitability growth and the overall market environment.

The Fund Manager Remuneration Policy also provides for specific bonuses' claw back and deferral provisions with respect to the Fund Manager's staff.

2.5 Verification

The payment of the Base remuneration and the Distribution remuneration shall be arranged by the Fund Manager only after the verification and certification by the Depositary of the correctness of the following amounts used in the calculation of those fees: the notional amount, the value of distributions, and all the other items used in calculation of the remuneration, as well as the methods for determining the remuneration.

3. Duration of the mandate of the Fund Manager, notice period and potential compensation for revocation without cause

In accordance with the Constitutive Act, the duration of mandate of the Fund Manager is of two (2) years.

Fondul Proprietatea may unilaterally and at its sole discretion terminate the Management Agreement, at any time, on three months' prior written notice to the Fund Manager, based on an OGM resolution for approving the simultaneous termination of the mandate and of the Management Agreement.

For the avoidance of any doubt, termination of the mandate and of the Management Agreement will not entitle the Fund Manager to any damages or the payment of any amounts other than the remuneration to be paid in accordance with the clauses above.

The Fund Manager may terminate the Management Agreement and resign its mandate with six months' prior written notice.

Not later than five business days following the termination notice date provided by the Fund Manager, but subject to timely approval of the GSM agenda by the Board of Nominees, the Fund Manager will call the OGMS having on the agenda the approval of the procedure for the selection of a new sole director and alternative investment fund manager. Such procedure will be prepared by the Fund Manager and agreed with the Board of Nominees before its submission to an OGMS for approval.

Chapter VI - The recruitment and selection procedure for the Fund Manager and the Board of Nominees

Fondul Proprietatea, as an entity supervised by the FSA, shall have in place a procedure for the recruitment and selection of the Fund Manager and of the members of the Board of Nominees, as well as certain provisions for the renewal of the existing mandates.

The recruitment and the selection procedure of both the Fund Manager and of the Board of Nominees of Fondul Proprietatea are set out under the Fund's Constitutive Act.

Thus, according to Article 12 paragraph (2) of the Fund's Constitutive Act, the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting has, among its competencies, the following:

  • ➢ to appoint the members of the Board of Nominees and to cancel their appointment;
  • ➢ to appoint the Alternative Investment Fund Manager in accordance with the law and to cancel its appointment;
  • ➢ to rule over the management of the Alternative Investment Fund Manager and to evaluate his/her performances and to discharge him/her from its management.

A. The procedure of the recruitment and the selection of the Fund Manager

As Fondul Proprietatea's management system is a unitary system, the ordinary general shareholders meeting has appointed a sole director and alternative investment fund manager, which is represented in Romania as sole director, by the individual as permanent representative appointed in accordance with Article 15313 of Companies' Law no. 31/1990.

The mandate of the Alternative Investment Fund Manager is of two (2) years.

The Alternative Investment Fund Manager will call an Ordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders to be held at least six (6) months before the termination of the duration of the mandate of the Alternative Investment Fund Manager with the agenda of approving the renewal of the Alternative Investment Fund Manager's mandate or starting the selection process of a new Alternative Investment Fund Manager and the negotiation of the management agreement to be concluded.

B. The procedure of the recruitment and the selection of the members of the Board of Nominees

The procedure for the selection and the recruitment of the members of the Board of Nominees is set out under the provisions of the Fund's Constitutive Act.

Thus, Article 13 paragraph (8) mentions that: "In case the agenda includes the appointment of the members of the Board of Nominees, the notice shall mention that the list including information regarding the name, the residence and professional training of the persons proposed for the position of member of the Board of Nominees is available to the shareholders, to be further reviewed and completed by shareholders."

Further, Article 15 provides that the ordinary general meeting of the shareholders shall appoint the Board of Nominees, formed of 5 members, and shall establish their remuneration.

Any shareholder will have the right to make proposals on the members of the Board of Nominees.

The members of the Board of Nominees may be shareholders of Fondul Proprietatea or other persons designated by the shareholders and they must have the proper experience and knowledge in order to be able to receive the Alternative Investment Fund Manager reports and of the consultants and, based on the information received, judge the merits of the management of Fondul Proprietatea within the limits of the objectives and principles set by the investment policy as well as by the applicable laws and regulations.

Also, the members of the Board of Nominees have to be qualified properly in order to decide (if there is need with the support of an independent consultant) if the transactions proposed by the Alternative Investment Fund Manager needing the approval of the Board of Nominees are made to the advantage of the shareholders.

The mandate of the members of the Board of Nominees is of three (3) years, period to be extended by right, until the first meeting of the Ordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders.

The Board of Nominees elects amongst its members a chairman.

Chapter VII. Avoiding conflicts of interest

This Policy is drafted based on the principle of avoiding conflicts of interest and includes measures that ensure professional and responsible behavior at the level of Fondul Proprietatea.

The Fund Manager and the Board of Nominees' members are required to act with due diligence and to conduct themselves in a manner and with such ethics and integrity so as to avoid a conflict of interest, either real or apparent.

A "conflict of interest" represents that situation or circumstance that may arise in the operational or decision-making process, where the private interest, directly or indirectly, of a person holding a key position within the Fund interposes with the interests of the Fund and affects or could affect her/his independence and impartiality in decision-making, professional reasoning or the timely and objective performance of duties or that could affect, by its nature, the integrity or stability of Fondul Proprietatea and the financial market. In this respect, the Fund Manager and the Board of Nominees' members should avoid activities, interests and other relationships that might be opposed to the interests of the Fund or might cause a conflict with the performance of their duties.

Measures for avoiding conflicts of interest:

  • the remuneration level of the Fund Manager and of the Board of Nominees' members shall be established in close connection with the responsibilities and commitments of their duties, in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement or of the mandate agreement;
  • the shareholder who is also a member of the Board of Nominees will not participate in the decision on his / her remuneration package and / or mandate contract;
  • the removal of any direct link between the remuneration of relevant persons who mainly carry out a particular activity and the remuneration of other relevant persons, who carry out mainly other activity, when the activities in question may give rise to a conflict of interests;

  • the use of the position held within the Fund in the interest of persons with whom there are blood relations or other extra-professional relations in remuneration practices is prohibited; in order to avoid conflicts of interest, the aim is to avoid appointing people to such positions, which is why each candidate for the position of Board of Nominees must provide a questionnaire on his independence which will be the basis of the independence analysis carried out by the Board of Nominees.

Chapter VIII.Deviations from the Policy

The Board of Nominees, upon recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, in exceptional circumstances, may temporarily derogate from any section of the Policy, based on its full discretion, within the limits of the legal provisions and of the Constitutive Act, in the following exceptional circumstances:

  • (a) upon change of the Fund Manager, in accordance with the new management agreement;
  • (b) upon material changes in the Fund's structure, its overall financial and/or operational performance which may require adjustment of the remuneration components;
  • (c) in any other circumstance where the derogation may be objectively required to serve the long-term interests and sustainability of the Fund or to assure its viability,

but without increasing the remuneration of the Board of Nominees' members.

In addition, change of the relevant legislation may result in derogations from the Policy, outside the discretion of the Fund.

Chapter IX. Disclosure

Once voted by the Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders, the Policy, together with the date and the results of the vote, will be available on the Fund's website, and remains publicly available, free of charge, at least as long as it is applicable.

A paper version will be made available upon request to the Fund.

Chapter X. Revisions to the previous Remuneration Policy

This policy represents the revised version of the Remuneration Policy approved by the shareholders on 20 April 2022.

The revised Policy Remuneration covers:

• the increase of the base remuneration for the members of the Board of Nominees, as well as additional remuneration for certain positions in the Board of Nominees; and the increase of the notice period in case of withdrawal from the position of member of the Board of Nominees.

The revisions pertaining to the remuneration are made for the purpose of granting adequate compensation for the time involvement of the members of the Board of Nominees in monitoring the management of Fondul Proprietatea. Further, the revision pertaining to the increase of the

notice period is made for the purpose of enabling efficient replacements of members in case of withdrawal from the position of member of the Board of Nominees.
