The valuation date was 31 December 2021 with a new value of RON 9,040.9 million (total impact of the valuation update in the Fund's NAV as at 31 January 2022 resulted in a net increase of RON 512.9 million, an increase in value with 3.87%, compared with 31 December 2021).

The unaudited profit for the 6-month period is RON 4,129.7 million compared with RON 1,801.1 million for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2021. The main contributor to the profit recorded in the first half of year 2022 was the net gain from equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss amounting to RON 3,295.3 million, mainly generated by the valuation updates for Hidroelectrica, net off by the negative share price evolution of the Fund's listed holdings (mainly coming from OMV Petrom SA).

Performance Objectives

According to the Management Agreement in force starting with 1 April 2022, the First Reporting Period of the mandate is from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2022 and the Second Reporting Period is from 1 January 2023 until 31 December 2023.

In accordance with the Fund's IPS, there are two performance objectives that the AIFM is aiming to achieve. The NAV objective refers to an Adjusted NAV1 per share in the last day of the Reporting Period higher than the reported NAV per share as at the end of the previous Reporting Period. The discount objective implies the discount between the closing price of the Fund's shares on BVB – REGS and the latest reported NAV per share to be equal to, or lower than 15%, in at least 2/3 of the trading days in the Reporting Period.

NAV Objective – First reporting period (interim monitoring)

The Adjusted NAV per share as at 30 June 2022 was 29.14% higher than the 31 December 2021 NAV per share of RON 2.2624.

1 Summarizing the provisions of the IPS, the adjusted NAV for a given date is calculated as the sum of: (i) the reported NAV as at the end of the Reporting Period; (ii) any distributions to shareholders, being either dividend or non-dividend ones (i.e. in the last case following reductions of the par value of the shares and distribution to the shareholders), implemented after the end of the previous Reporting Period, and (iii) any distribution fee and any transaction/ distribution costs relating to either dividend or nondividend distributions including buy-backs of shares/ GDRs/ depositary interests executed through daily acquisitions or public tenders after the end of the previous Reporting Period. The adjusted NAV per share is equal to the adjusted NAV divided by the total number of the Fund's paid shares, less FP ordinary shares bought back and less equivalent in FP ordinary shares of FP GDRs acquired and not yet converted into FP ordinary shares, on the last day of the Reporting Period. For more details, please refer to the IPS available on the Fund's webpage.

  • (ii) by the Payment Agent for cash payments at any of its agencies, or by bank transfer (when the supporting documentation required by the Payment Agent and a payment request were submitted to the Payment Agent).

Also, as an important notice to shareholders, this dividend payment is subject to the general statute of limitation. As such, shareholders may request the payments only within a three-year term starting with the Payment Date, namely by 27 June 2025.

Investor Relations

In the first six months of the year, in our efforts to increase the visibility and the profile of the Fund, as well as the local capital market, and Romania, to a broader international institutional investor base, the Fund's management team organised two road-shows in the United States and met with 22 investment professionals interested in finding out more details about Fondul Proprietatea and its equity story, and in receiving updates on the Fund, its corporate actions, and the main portfolio holdings, as well as on the Romanian macroeconomic environment.

During the first six months of the year, we also participated to three online and one in person investor conferences, during which we discussed with 44 portfolio managers and analysts.

On 2 February we organized a conference call for institutional investors and financial analysts to inform them about the latest developments regarding Fondul's share capital and the payment made by the Romanian Ministry of Finance on 1 February for all unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State in Fondul Proprietatea. 28 investors and analysts participated to the call.

On 28 February and 15 May, we organized the 2021 Annual Results Conference Call and the Q1 2022 Results Conference Call with institutional investors and financial analysts, with around 28 professionals participating at each call.

Furthermore, during this six-month period, 33 conference calls and 3 in person meetings were organized with institutional investors and financial analysts covering Fondul Proprietatea, interested in the latest developments regarding the Fund's corporate actions, and its portfolio companies.

Communication between the Fund Manager and investors remains our top priority as we aim to ensure that investors are informed about the latest developments and obtain their feedback as we continue to focus on maximising shareholder value.

The twelfth buy-back programme (implemented during 2021)

The twelfth buy-back programme has been finalized on 31 December 2021. During the 20 April 2022 Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting, the Fund's Sole Director proposed, and the shareholders approved the cancellation of the 194,371,754 treasury shares repurchased through the twelfth buy-back programme. The Fund will undertake all the required legal and regulatory steps for the cancelation of shares.

The thirteenth buy-back programme (ongoing during 2022)

During the 15 December 2021 GSM the shareholders approved the thirteenth buy-back programme for a maximum number of 800,000,000 shares and / or equivalent GDRs corresponding to shares, starting with 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2022, at a price that cannot be lower than RON 0.2 per share or higher than RON 2.5 per share. The shares repurchased during the buy-back programme will be cancelled. The Fund selected Auerbach Grayson in consortium with Swiss Capital to provide brokerage services for the programme. The Fund is allowed to buy back daily up to 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Fund's shares (in the form of ordinary shares or GDRs) on the regulated market on which the purchase is carried out, calculated in accordance with the applicable law.

The thirteenth buy-back programme started on 31 January 2022.

Tender Offer within the thirteenth buy-back programme

On 29 March 2022 the Fund submitted to the FSA an application for the endorsement of a tender offer to accelerate the thirteenth buy-back programme.

The daily execution of buy-backs for both shares on BVB and GDRs on LSE was suspended starting with 14 March 2022.

The Fund selected Swiss Capital S.A. together with Auerbach Grayson as agents and Swiss Capital S.A. as intermediary in relation to the purchase of shares, and The Bank of New York Mellon as tender agent in relation to the GDR purchases.

On 11 May 2022, the FSA approved the Fund's application for the public tender offer. The purchase price was RON 2.19 per share and the USD equivalent of RON 109.50 per GDR, and the subscription period was from 18 May to 24 June 2022.

On 24 June 2022, the Investment Manager announced the results of the tender offer: total subscriptions of 1,358,016,097 shares representing 417.8511% of the Offer (1,105,449,747 were subscribed in the form of shares and 252,566,350 shares in the form of GDRs, namely 5,051,327 GDRs).

Under the tender offer, the Fund repurchased 325,000,000 shares (264,555,900 in the form of shares and 60,444,100 shares in the form of GDRs, namely 1,208,882 GDRs) at a purchase price of RON 2.19 per share and the USD equivalent of RON 109.50 per GDR, computed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer Documentation. The shares' Trade Date was 27 June 2022, and the settlement / payment date was 29 June 2022 for both shares and GDRs.

The daily execution of the thirteenth buy-back programme was resumed on 4 July 2022 on both BVB and LSE.

Impact of the buy-back programmes on the Fund's equity

The Fund recognises the treasury shares (repurchases of own shares and GDRs) at trade date as a deduction from shareholders' equity (in an equity reserve account). Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost, including brokerage fees, distribution fees and other transaction costs directly related to their acquisition.

Upon completion of all legal and regulatory requirements, the treasury shares are cancelled and netted off against the share capital and / or other reserves. The details on the accounting treatment to be applied for the registration and cancellation of treasury shares can be found in the FSA Norm no. 39/2015, article 75.

A negative equity element arises upon cancelation of the shares acquired in a buy-back programme, where the acquisition price is higher than the nominal value, but this does not generate an additional shareholder's equity decrease. At the cancellation date, only a reallocation between the equity accounts is booked, without any impact on profit or loss and without generating additional shareholders' equity decrease (the decrease is recorded at share acquisition date).

Article 75 from Norm no. 39/2015 mentions that the negative balance arising on the cancellation of equity instruments may be covered from the retained earnings and other equity elements, in accordance with the resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting. As at 30 June 2022, the Fund's equity elements that could be used to cover the negative reserve are sufficient and include retained earnings, reserves and share capital.

Coverage of the negative reserves

During the 20 April 2022 Annual GSM, the shareholders approved the coverage of the negative reserves related to the eleventh buy-back programme using the other reserves set up for this purpose as per the decision taken in the 2021 Annual GSM, in amount of RON 671,941,938.

The table below shows the movement of the negative reserves during the first six months of 2022:

The related negative reserve in amount of RON 230,576,693 (please see table above), will be recorded only after all legal and regulatory steps related to the cancellation of shares, are completed (e.g., FSA endorsement, registration to the Trade Registry).

Outlook for 2022

Overview

Despite the economic recovery experienced in 2021, the outlook for 2022 has changed markedly as several risks have begun to materialize during the first half of the year. Performance exceeded expectations in the first quarter of the year, but world real GDP is estimated to have shrunk in the second quarter, the first contraction since 2020, primarily as a result of economic downturns in China and Russia.

Global economic risks have been continuously reassessed following the start of the war on Ukraine, with forecasts being adjusted downwards from previous levels while inflationary pressure has intensified. At the same time, the uncertainty and restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic is decreasing, however supply chain disruptions and trade blockages continue to pose a challenge considering the sanctions imposed on Russia and the reduction of transport capacity in Ukraine, considering that these countries have an important role in the production and global export of grains and raw materials, including natural gas and oil in the case of Russia.

Economic impact

During the first half of the year, the IMF attributed the economic deceleration on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The war in Ukraine, in addition to the tragic human cost, has a significant impact on economic growth especially for the Euro area through higher energy and commodity prices and disruption of international commerce.

Even though the growth rate had an upward trend during January and February 2022, the impact of the war and the gradual withdrawal of the political incentives have led to a downwards revised global economic projection compared with December 2021, mainly for 2022 and 2023. In March 2022, The Central European Bank anticipated a moderation of global real GDP growth to 4.1% in 2022 and 3.6% in both 2023 and 2024[1]. Real GDP for emerging and developing Europe is expected to shrink by 1.5 percentage points less in 2022 than predicted in the April 2022 WEO but grow by 0.4 percentage point less in 2023, on the back of stronger Russian export growth in 2022 and the recently announced additional sanctions on Russia in 2023.

In April 2022, according to the IMF, global growth was projected to slow from an estimate of 4.4% in the forecast issued in January to a revised figure of 3.6% in 2022 and 2023[2] (growth in 2021 was about 6.1%). Based on the

[1] https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/economic-bulletin/html/eb202202.en.html

[2] World Economic Outlook, April 2022 (imf.org)

WEO from July[3] , global growth is expected to be 3.2% in 2022 and moderating to 2.9% in 2023, lower than projected in the April 2022 WEO.

For Romania, according with April 2022 WEO, the real GDP growth for 2021 was 5.9% and is expected to moderate to 2.2% in 2022 and 3.4% to 20232 .

From IMF projections from July 20223 , global inflation has been revised up mainly due to rapidly rising food and energy prices and it is anticipated to reach this year 6.6% in advanced economies and 9.5% in emerging market and developing economies– upward revisions of 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively. Although long-term inflation expectations have been stable in most major economies, they have started to rise according to some measures. Central banks of major advanced economies are withdrawing monetary support more assertively and raising policy interest rates faster than expected in the April 2022 WEO.

In June, in the euro area, inflation reached 8.6% and in emerging market and developing economies, secondquarter inflation is estimated to have been 9.8%3 . For 2022, is estimated to be 7.3% and 3.9% in 2023.

For Romania, according with INS[5] the annual inflation rate in June 2022 compared with June 2021 is 15.1%, the main factors being increase in consumer prices of some energy products, which in this second quarter have increased by 87.2% for gas and 38.5% for fuels[6] .

According with the monthly report of BVB, the Romania Capital market[7] fully recovered from the declines caused by the war in Ukraine by the end of the first half of this year, but other external risks are still present and can significantly influence the activity in the capital markets. The BET-TR index, which also includes dividends, increased by 0.8% in the first 6 months, reaching 23,305.43 points. In the last trading session from June, the BET index had a decrease of 5.9%, reaching a level of 12,294.26 points. The total trading value of all types of financial instruments exceeded RON 13.5 billion in the first half of this year. The investors operating on BVB became much more active in January-June this year and introduced 56.8% more sell-buy orders than in the same period last year.

On 5 August 2022, the Board of the National Bank of Romania raised its key monetary policy rate by 0,75% to 5.5%[8], the seventh consecutive rate hike, pushing the borrowing costs to the highest since February 2012.

Regulatory Updates

Updates regarding the Fund's application to FSA for registering as an AIF

On 28 January 2022, FSA authorized Fondul Proprietatea as an Alternative Investment Fund closed-end type (authorization no. 25/28.01.2022), addressed to retail investors ("closed-end type AIFRI"), with BRD Groupe Société Générale as depositary.

FSA also authorized the amendments to the Fund's Constitutive Act, as approved by the Fund's Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting Resolution no. 1 of 14 January 2021 and the simplified Prospectus of Fondul Proprietatea.

The documentation regarding the operation of the Fund as a closed-end type AIFRI, established as an investment company, managed by FTIS, including the Constitutive Act in force, can be consulted on the Fund's website, ww.fondulproprietatea.ro, in the About Fondul Proprietatea section.

Romanian state prohibited from selling shares in Romanian companies for two years

In August 2020, the Romanian Parliament enacted Law 173/2020 regarding certain measures for protecting national interest within the economic activity. The law entered into force on 16 August 2020, banning the sale of shareholdings owned by the Romanian state in national companies, banks, or other companies in which the state is a shareholder, irrespective of the ownership percentage, for the next two years. Ownership transfers that commenced before the entry into force of the law are suspended for a two-year term. On 5 October 2020, GEO no. 166/2020 entered into force, setting exceptions from Law 173/2020 by limiting the prohibition only with respect to shares held by the Romanian state. On 3 February 2021, the Government proposed for Parliament's approval a new draft law that repeals the requirements of Law 173/2020, which was adopted by the Senate on 22 March 2021. The

draft law is still in Parliament for other legislative procedure. There is no estimation as to when this law will enter into force and if this will be before 16 August 2022 when Law 173/2020 ends its effects. Also, a new draft law was registered with the Senate on 30 June 2022 for amending the deadlines stipulated in Law 173/2020 (extending the prohibition until August 13, 2024) and for repealing the GEO no. 166 / 2020.

Changes in Romanian Water Law

During 2020, the Parliament approved several changes to the Water Law which entered into force on 16 July 2020. According to these changes, all owners of water installations that collect underground or surface waters are required to install water metering devices within 6 months calculated from 16 July 2020. Failure to comply with this requirement, even for well justified technical reasons, could lead to the obligation to pay the water contribution to ANAR at the level of the maximum authorised flow.

To calculate the water volume used by its hydropower plants to produce electricity, Hidroelectrica has been using an indirect calculation method based on the electricity volume produced by each hydro-unit. Hidroelectrica's management considers it is technically unfeasible to install standard water meters as required by law, given the size and the variety of technical specifications of its power plants.

The Romanian Government changed the Water Law starting with 31 December 2020, via GEO no. 225/2020, according to which by way of exception, in case of the non-existence/proven technical impossibility of mounting water metering devices, indirect metering methods are applied, by reporting the maximum authorized flow to the actual time of use for electricity production, the user having the obligation to communicate the data generated by compliant devices measuring the time of use.

Following the latest changes approved in December 2020, further amendments to Romanian Water Law are currently debated in Parliament, with a potential impact on the activity of Hidroelectrica. On 8 February 2021, the Senate, as first chamber discussing the amendments, approved a change that would allow Hidroelectrica to continue to use indirect methods for determining the water volumes, as before July 2020 (i.e. cancelling the effects of the changes in legislation adopted after July 2020). The law then moved to the Chamber of Deputies which was the decisional body. Here, it suffered unexpected changes brough by the Agricultural Commission, which included a flat-water contribution for hydropower producers of RON 33/ MWh. This would push Hidroelectrica's production costs, in an average hydrological year, to around RON 528 million from around RON 350 million based on the calculation system used until 2020, leading to an over 10% increase in Hidroelectrica's overall average production cost. The law is currently reassessed by the same Agricultural Committee in the Chamber of Deputies.

The entire legislative process involves several mandatory steps, and the final wording of the law cannot be predicted.

The changes in legislation are estimated to be effective after the date of publication of this report. The Fund is monitoring the legislative process in Parliament, as well as Hidroelectrica's ongoing discussions with ANAR, in order to be able to assess any potential impact on the company. Considering the current legislative status, we don't expect any changes to occur until this report is published.

Regulation for amending the FSA Regulation governing the GDRs

On 30 March 2022, FSA published on its website, for public consultation until 9 April 2022, the draft Regulation for amending the FSA Regulation governing the GDRs. The amendments were approved by the FSA on 27 April 2022 and entered into force on 10 May 2022, the date when it was published in the Official Gazette.

The draft regulation reduces the limit of the number of shares subject to an offer for which GDRs can be issued "at most 1/10 of the number of shares object of the offer, but not exceeding 1/3 of the total shares issued by the issuing company". At the same time, the regulation removes the provisions stating that the FSA may derogate from the provisions which set the limits for which GDRs may be issued and adds provisions for delisting the GDRs. A response letter expressing the Fund's disagreement to the amendments and the reasons for keeping the existing rules was submitted to the FSA, during the consultation period, on 8 April 2022.

New legal provisions regarding the composition of the audit committees

The recent enacted provisions in the FSA Regulation no. 20/2021 require that at least one member of the audit committee should have theoretical knowledge and practical and professional experience on the application of accounting principles and in financial audit (previously "... regarding the application of accounting principles or in financial audit"). In addition, the Authority for the Public Supervision of the Statutory Audit Activity (ASPAAS) Order no. 123/28 April 2022 on the composition of the audit committee, published in the Official Gazette on 4 May 2022, provides that: (i) at least one member of the audit committee must be a certified financial auditor and (ii) the qualification of financial auditor is proved by a document issued by the competent authority from Romania or from another Member State. The Fund should comply with the above rules no later than 31 December 2022.

The Government Ordinance 16/2022 includes among others, amendments on the dividend withholding tax regime, which will be impacting FP's distributions.

Portfolio Analysis and Financial Highlights

NAV Methodology and NAV Evolution

The key performance indicator of the Fund is its Net Asset Value. The Fund is required to publish a monthly net asset value per share in accordance with the local rules issued by the capital market regulator, no later than 15 calendar days after the reporting month end and after the dates when share capital changes are recorded within Trade Register.

All NAV reports are published on the Fund's website, www.fondulproprietatea.ro, together with the share price and discount / premium information.

Starting with 28 January 2022, the date when the Fund's registration process as an alternative investment fund with the FSA was finalised, the Fund started to apply the Romanian AIF Law (Law 243/2019) and AIF Regulation (Regulation 7/2020).

Listed securities are valued either at closing market prices if listed on regulated markets, or at reference prices if listed on an ATS. Illiquid and unlisted securities are valued using the fair value determined either by reference to published prices on the stock exchange where shares are traded (listed securities) or assessed using valuation techniques in accordance with International Valuation Standards. The holdings in the companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, judicial reorganisation or which ceased their activity are valued at zero.

The treasury shares acquired through buy-backs are excluded from the number of shares used in the NAV per share computation. Due to the fact that in substance the Fund's GDRs are similar to the ordinary shares to which they correspond, in the computation of the number of shares used for the NAV per share calculation, the equivalent number of shares corresponding to the GDRs bought back and held by the Fund as at the NAV reporting date is also deducted, together with the number of ordinary own shares bought back and held.

NAV per share (RON per share)

The following chart shows information on the monthly published NAVs per share for the period 31 December 2021 to 30 June 2022:

Source: Fondul Proprietatea, based on NAV reports submitted to the FSA, computed for the last working day of the month

During the first quarter of 2022, the NAV per share had an increase of 3.7% compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the increase in valuation of the unlisted holding Hidroelectrica SA (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 1,396.45 million or RON 0.2385 per share), netted off by the dilution in NAV/ share resulted from the Ministry of Finance's payment for the unpaid shares during February 2022.

On 1 February 2022, the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Finance paid RON 189,182,422 to the Fund, as payment for all unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State in the Fund (as at 31 December 2021, the Romanian State held 363,812,350 unpaid shares, each share having a nominal value of RON 0.52). Consequently, following this payment, starting with 1 February 2022, the new value of the Fund's subscribed and paid-up share capital is RON 3,334,342,422.84 (divided into 6,412,196,967 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.52/share), so the number of shares used in the calculation of the NAV increased.

During the second quarter of 2022, the NAV per share had an overall increase of 18.5% compared to the end of the first quarter, mainly due to the dividends recorded from portfolio companies (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 856.0 million), to the valuation update of the unlisted holdings in the portfolio (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 2,457.8 million compared with 31 March 2022), net off by the thirteen-buyback programme carried out by the Fund during this period, including the Tender Offer settlement.

In April 2022, based on the most recent financial information, the most recent comparable trading multiple for EBITDA and the most recent estimated DLOM from KPMG, the Fund performed an update of the valuation for Hidroelectrica SA. The total impact was an increase in Hidroelectrica's value by 13.3% / RON 1,446.0 million compared to the 31 March 2022 NAV.

In June 2022, the Fund performed valuation updates for 8 unlisted holdings representing 98.7% of the Fund's total unlisted portfolio as at 31 March 2022. The valuation was performed with the assistance of KPMG Advisory, in accordance with International Valuation Standards. The valuation date for the updated reports was 31 May 2022 (date for the market multiples) and is based on the financial data of the companies as at 31 March 2022 (except Hidroelectrica SA for which the financials data date was 30 April 2022). The reports also considered all relevant subsequent events until 30 June 2022 (such as dividends declared, changes in legislation, etc). The total impact of the valuation update was an increase of RON 3,854.2 million compared to the 31 December 2021 NAV, and an increase of RON 2,457.8 million compared with the 31 March 2022 NAV (RON 1,011.8 million compared with April 2022).

On 20 January 2022, the Fund announced the agreement to sell 2,275,000,000 ordinary shares including a 50% exercise of the upsize option, held by the Fund in OMV Petrom S.A., following the completion of an accelerated bookbuild offering.

Share capital increase process at CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti

CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti called through the convening notice published in the Official Gazette of Romania Part IV no. 3873/20.09.2021 a General Shareholders Meeting that took place on 25 October 2021, for the approval of a share capital increase with the land inside the Baneasa airport, brought as Romanian state's contribution in kind to the company's capital. The proposed value for the share capital increase was initially RON 3,814,809,171. This is the third time the process to increase the share capital is initiated since 2001, when Baneasa Airport received the land ownership certificates.

On 26 October 2021 (the second calling for the shareholders' meeting) the share capital increase was approved with only the Romanian State voting in favour, as follows:

  • The share capital increase approved was for RON 4,768,511,460;
  • RON 3,814,809,170 represents in kind contribution of the Romanian State, calculated as the value of the land parcels as evaluated by the valuer appointed by the Trade Register;
  • The amount of RON 953,702,290 represents the value of shares offered to be subscribed by Fondul Proprietatea for maintaining the 20% participation to the share capital. The preference rights may be used by the Fund within 60 days calculated starting with the date when the shareholders' resolution is published in the Official Gazette;
  • After the 60 days period expires, the share capital will be increased with the value of the paid-up shares (the Romanian State's contribution in kind being considered as already completed);
  • If the Fund will not subscribe, the unsubscribed shares will be cancelled.

Fondul Proprietatea expressed its opinion strongly disputing the fundamentally flawed land valuation report, as the land valuation report carried out in 2021 attributes a very high value to the land, despite a previously approved valuation report from 2017, which had set the value of the same land at RON 269 million.

Fondul Proprietatea started court cases for the annulment of the shareholders' resolution, and for the suspension of the entire process until the claim for annulment case is irrevocably closed, to protect the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Following the hearing that took place on 13 January 2022, the Bucharest Court of Appeal admitted the request of suspension filed by the Fund and ordered the suspension of the effects of the increase until the claim for the annulment of the CNAB EGSM is irrevocably settled.

Regarding the Fund's request for intervention, following the hearing on 11 February 2022, the Court approved the suspension of this file until the claim for annulment is irrevocably settled.

This is likely to increase the duration of the legal proceedings by more than 1 year and, as such, the capital increase will not take place (under Romanian Law, the term for finalizing such a capital increase is of one year starting with the publication of the GSM decision in the Official Gazette). Consequently, the Fund Manager assessed the dilution risk not to be significant and no adjustment was booked in the valuation for this risk.

In addition, the claim for annulment is not expected to be irrevocable settled during 2022. The first hearing for the annulment case was held on 10 March 2022, but it was postponed to 8 September 2022.

Restructuring Plan of Complexul Energetic Oltenia S.A (CE Oltenia) and related roadmap

On 22 October 2021 during the GSM of CE Oltenia, shareholders approved the partial coverage of the accumulated accounting losses registered by CE Oltenia as of 31 December 2020, proportionally by all shareholders of the company. The accounting losses in amount of RON 1 billion will be covered by reducing the share capital from RON 1,270,318,090 to RON 270,318,090, respectively from 127,031,809 shares to 27,031,809 shares, with a nominal value of RON 10.00 each. The share capital decrease operation is effective starting with 19 January 2022, the registration with the Romanian Trade Register. Following the share capital decrease operation, the Fund maintains its 21.559% stake holding, but the number of shares decreased from 27,031,809 shares to 5,828,033 shares, with a total nominal value of RON 58,280,330.

On 25 November 2021 during the GSM of CE Oltenia, the majority shareholder voted for the approval to start the operation to increase the share capital of the company with the value of the lands for which property rights certificates were obtained and to request the Trade Register Office for the appointment of one or more experts to evaluate these assets. The plots of land subject to the share capital increase will be used by the company to develop the new investments according to the commitments assumed through the Restructuring Plan.

In January 2022, The European Commission approved Romania's plan to grant CE Oltenia a restructuring aid for up to EUR 2.66 billion (RON 13.15 billion). The measure will enable the company to finance its Restructuring Plan and restore its long-term viability.

The implementation of the Restructuring Plan will lead to the need to operate capital increases, both in cash as well as with the value of lands that will be used by CE Oltenia to develop the new investments alongside coinvestors (photovoltaic power plants and gas fired power plants). The implementation of the Restructuring Plan will also lead to a symmetrical spin-off of Craiova II Power Plant Branch from CE Oltenia (the initiation of the process was approved by shareholders during the 26 August 2021 GSM). The carve-out project uses as cut-off date the financial statements of CE Oltenia as of 31 December 2021 and implies a symmetrical spin-off by way of transferring the assets and liabilities related to Craiova II Power Plant Branch to a newly established company which shall mirror percentage wise the current shareholding structure of CE Oltenia and will have a share capital of RON 23,829,130 (FP's stake of 21.559%, respectively 513,754 shares). As a result of the spin-off, FP's number of shares in CE Oltenia will be decreased with its corresponding shares in Craiova II, respectively from 5,828,033 to 5,314,279 shares, however maintaining its 21.559% stake holding. Shareholders approved the spin-off process and related actions in the GSM as of 18 August.

Considering its current investment strategy, Fondul Proprietatea does not intend to participate in these capital increases.

Presumably, as a result of the capital increases, the participation of Fondul Proprietatea in CE Oltenia will be diluted at around 5% according to Fondul's current estimates.

In order to carry out the share capital increase with the value of the lands that will be contributed by CE Oltenia in the new investments, a change in the current legislation would be needed so that the evaluations of all the lands with which the capital increase would be carried out can be realized at fair value.

CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime

On 9 February 2022, during the CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime's GSM, the majority shareholder approved the increase of the share capital from RON 132,906,430 to RON 323,311,340, respectively with the amount of RON 190,404,910, through incorporation of part of reserves. The Fund maintained its stake holding, as new shares issued were distributed proportionally to existing shareholders. As at the date of issuing this report, the Fund held 6,466,226 shares, representing 20% of the company's share capital. However, the Fund decided to challenge in Court the validity of the GSM which approved the share capital increase, and the case is ongoing.

Hidroelectrica S.A. listing

S.N. a Sarii Salrom Listing

On 5 July 2021, the general shareholders meeting of Salrom approved in principle the listing of the company on the BVB, through a public offering of the company's shares held by the Fund.

Based on a competitive selection process, Fondul Proprietatea has appointed the Investment Bank (BRD – Groupe Société Générale) and the legal advisor (Dentons Europe – Zizzi – Caradja & Associates) that will be involved in preparing the Prospectus and the listing of Salrom on BVB. .

The approval is a positive development as it allows the Fund to explore its options with regards to a potential realization of all or part of its holding in the company.

Darian DRS SA was approved as independent expert valuator to evaluate the land plots for the in-kind contribution.

Fondul will continue to monitor the share capital increase process as it progresses and will decide to participate or not by taking into consideration the best interest of our shareholders.

Enel Energie and Enel Energie Muntenia

Starting with the second semester of 2021, the companies are struggling with a crisis situation that hit the entire energy sector following the increase of the electricity prices, as well as due to the enactment of legislative changes which introduce a governmental scheme to support the electricity and natural gas for final consumers until 31 March 2023. In December 2021 and March 2022, the board of directors of the 2 companies approved to contract from banks a bridge-financing program amounting to EUR 235 million for Enel Energie and EUR 255 million. for Enel Energie Muntenia, respectively, to cover the financing needs. In August 2022, given that the financing needs have increased and the banks with whom the companies already concluded financial agreements could not positively respond in a timely manner, management identified a solution to be urgently implemented, namely a shareholder loan from the financing arm of Enel Group – Enel Finance International N.V. amounting to EUR 250 million for Enel Energie and EUR 125 million for Enel Energie Muntenia.

Government issued EGO no. 108/2022 related to the decarbonisation of the energy market, which entered into force on 1 July 2022. The legislation foresees gradual shutdown of the lignite and coal power plants by 2030, while allowing for temporary closure postponement in case of an energy crisis.

Law no. 206/2022 on measures applicable to end customers in the electricity and natural gas

Law no. 206/2022 for approving the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 27/2022 on measures applicable to end customers in the electricity and natural gas market during the period 1 April 2022 - 31 March 2023, as well as for amending and supplementing certain regulatory acts in the field of energy was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force on 14 July 2022. The new legislation provides further clarifications of deadlines and requirements for energy market participants.

Windfall tax

EGO no. 27/18.03.2022 extends the timeline for the windfall tax (80% of the monthly additional revenues) until 31 March 2023. The monthly additional revenues are determined based on the average realized price above RON 450 / MWh multiplied by the volume of electricity sold. In the computation of the average price, certain expenses are subtracted from revenues (e.g., costs with electricity purchased in the market, costs with carbon allowances, grid access costs, financing costs).

The updated windfall tax methodology applies retroactively on the windfall tax due to be paid under Law 259 / 2021's provisions. Also, under the initial form of EGO no 27/ 18.03.2022 electricity delivered to grid operator and power distributors with the aim of covering grid losses was excluded from the windfall tax. However, this exemption was eliminated following the enactment of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 112/2022 which entered into force on 18 July 2022.

Energy suppliers

End consumer energy prices are capped until 31 March 2023, as follows:

Electricity supply Invoice price (VAT included)
Households (consumption less 100KWh per month) 0.68 RON / KWh
Households (consumption less then 300KWh/ month) 0.8 RON / KWh
Non–households (excluding energy intensive users) 1.0 RON / KWh
Gas supply Invoice price (VAT included)
Households 0.31 RON / KWh
Non - households (consumption of 50 GWh/annum or heating
producers)
0.37 RON / KWh

Supply component is capped at RON 73 / MWh for power and RON 12 / MWh for natural gas respectively, with the component 10% higher for suppliers of last resort.

According to the Ordinance, suppliers would be reimbursed from the State's Budget and settlement of the subsidies paid by the State for the cold season will begin after 31 March 2022.

Also, Law no. 206/2022 for approving the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 27/2022 and subsequently Government Emergency Ordinance no. 112/2022 introduced certain subsequent adjustments in the implementation of price caps at the level of end-consumers.

Regulated domestic wholesale gas price for natural gas producers

Natural gas producers are required to sell gas to suppliers to cover household consumption, at RON 150 / MWh, and at RON 250 / MWh to cover consumption of heating producers until 31 March 2023. Natural gas producers are exempted from the payment of the windfall tax. Additionally, the reference price for royalties mentioned in the ordinance applies for quantities covering household consumption.

Natural gas producers are required to provide natural gas at demand to the transport operator (Transgaz) / natural gas distribution operators within 5 days (in full or partially).

Regulated transport and distribution tariffs

Grid losses generated by the increase of power prices above the previous threshold set by the National Authority for Energy Regulations (ANRE) in 2021 will be corrected through the new distribution tariffs, according to the methodology.

Latest market developments

As per currently available information from the grid operator, national electricity consumption decreased by 6% in Q2 2022 compared to the same quarter of 2021, while national production decreased by 10%. Romania was a net power importer in Q2 2022, compared to a net power exporter in Q2 2021.

As per OMV Petrom's estimates, national gas consumption decreased by approximately 19% compared to Q2 2021, as some end user's consumption was impacted by high energy prices. In addition, the decrease is also due to the higher base effect, with consumption in Q2 2021 at unusually high level due to cold weather. On the Romanian centralized markets, the weighted average price of natural gas for transactions with medium and long-term standardized products concluded in Q2 2022 irrespective of delivery period (5.2 TWh) was RON 471/MWh (Q2 2021: RON 120/MWh). The average price for the quantities delivered during the quarter was RON 406/MWh (Q2 2021: RON 80/MWh). Regarding short-term deliveries, on BRM day-ahead market, the average price in Q2 2022 was RON 506/MWh (Q2 2021: RON 116/MWh).

Consolidated sales revenues increased by 45% y.o.y. in Q1 2022, mainly supported by higher commodity prices and higher sales volumes of petroleum products and electricity. The Clean CCS Operating Result of RON 2,241 million in Q1 2022 was significantly higher than RON 653 million in Q1 2021, due to much higher contribution of all business segments mainly following the increase in prices in Exploration and Production segment, strong margins on gas from storage and third-party transaction in the Gas and Power segment and significantly higher refining margins in the Refining and Marketing segment.

Profitability continued to improve in Q2 2022, reaching a net profit of RON 3 billion, as market prices favored all business segments. Consolidated sales revenues increased by 160% y.o.y., mainly supported by higher commodity prices and higher sales volumes of petroleum products and electricity. Significantly higher refining margins in the Refining and Marketing segment as well as strong margins on gas from third party transactions and higher power margin in the Gas and Power segment supported a Clean CCS Operating Result of RON 3,660 million, which quadrupled y.o.y. Special items comprised net charges of RON 450 million largely consisting of net temporary losses from power forward contracts in the Gas and Power segment.

In 2021 the traffic reached an all-time high of 67,5 million tons of merchandise.

H1 2022 results evince a rather flattish performance, as an almost symmetrical increase in revenues and costs. The increase in costs is mainly due to higher utilities costs, which are mostly passed through to the operators. Total traffic increased by 17% y.o.y. to 37.5 million tons, on the back higher volumes of crude oil, petroleum products, cereals, and iron-ore. Almost half of the incremental increase in volumes of 5.4 million tons was linked to Ukraine. However, increased revenues from services rendered to ships were eroded by a decline in rental revenues, due to the expiration of a beneficial clause for one of the largest clients.

GSM

In May GSM, the shareholders approved the management proposal of a total dividend of RON 33.3 million, out of which RON 6.6 million was paid to Fondul.

The table above shows the change in the net liquid assets of the Fund as a percentage of the NAV.

The total liabilities position as at 31 December 2021 is higher due to the recording of the February 2022 dividend payable amount following the shareholders' approval in the 15 December 2021 GSM of a RON 0.0600 gross dividend distribution per share from the remaining unallocated 2019 profit.

The bank deposits and treasury bills and government bonds decreased mainly due to the cash outflows related to the payment of 13th Buyback Tender Offer (RON 711.5 million) and the payment of June 2022 dividend distribution (RON 682.4 million) net of the cash inflows from the collection of dividend receivables (RON 626.1 million) and the collection of Buyback Tender Offer guarantee back from the broker (RON 215.3 million).

For more details regarding the liquid asset evolution during the first half of 2022 please see section Financial Statements Analysis.

Cost Ratios of the Fund

The Fund elected to use Ongoing Charge Ratio and Total Expense Ratio as alternative performance measures because applying industry standards to the calculation of expense charges creates consistent and comparable data across the sector.

Ongoing Charge Ratio

The Ongoing Charge Ratio of the Fund represents the annual percentage impact in shareholder returns of the recurring operational expenses, and it is calculated as the total ongoing charges for the last 12 months divided by the average monthly net asset value of the Fund during the same period.

For the purpose of this calculation, expenses do not include foreign exchange losses, value of equity investments disposed of, impairment adjustments, fair value adjustments, expenses with provisions and income tax expenses.

The Fund elected to use this alternative performance measure due to the fact that applying an industry standard approach to the calculation of ongoing charges creates consistent and comparable data across the sector. Although the OCR figure is based on historical information, it provides shareholders with an indication of the likely level of costs that will be incurred in managing the Fund in the future.

The OCR of the Fund as at 30 June 2022 was 1.01% and including transaction related expenses this was 1.07% (30 June 2021: 0.85% and including transaction related expenses this was 0.90%).

Total Expense Ratio

The Total Expense Ratio for the first six months of 2022 represents the annualised expenses of the Fund divided by the period average NAV. For the purpose of this calculation, expenses do not include foreign exchange losses, value of equity investments disposed of, impairment adjustments, fair value adjustments, expenses with provisions and income tax expenses.

The TER of the Fund as at 30 June 2022 was 0.74% and including transaction related expenses this was 0.84% (30 June 2021: 0.87% and including transaction related expenses this was 0.87%).

The TER of the Fund is lower compared to the OCR as the 6 months average NAV used in TER calculation is higher than the 12 months average NAV used on OCR calculation.

Performance fees

During the H1 2022, according to the Management Agreements in force the Base fee payable by the Fund to the AIFM was calculated as Base Fee Rate multiplied by the notional amount, multiplied by the number of calendar days during the calculation period, divided by 365. The standard Base Fee Rate was:

  • Until 31 March 2022: 60 basis points per year, and
  • Starting with 1 April 2022: 45 basis points per year.

Until 31 March 2022, in certain conditions detailed below an additional Base Fee, representing a Performance fee, become payable.

For each day in a calculation period when the share price discount1 to NAV was below or equal to 20%, but above 15%, an additional Base Fee Rate of 5 basis points per year become payable (i.e. the Base Fee Rate becomes 65 basis points per year for the applicable days in the relevant period);

1 The daily discount is calculated in accordance with the IPS, i.e. the discount between the FP shares closing price on the BVB – REGS for each trading day and the latest reported NAV per share at the date of calculation.

For each day in a calculation period when the share price discount1 to NAV was equal to or below 15%, a further additional Base Fee Rate of 5 basis points per year become payable (i.e. the Base Fee Rate become 70 basis points per year for the applicable days in the relevant period).

The Performance fees recorded by the Fund because of the Fund's share price discount to NAV lowering below 20%/ 15% in certain trading days are detailed in the table below:

All amounts in RON H1 2022 H1 2021
Total Performance fee during the period 2,714,634 4,934,648
Total NAV at the end of the period 16,327,273,801 11,428,655,133
% Total Performance fee in NAV 0.0166% 0.0432%
Source: Fondul Proprietatea

Starting with the new MA, from 1 April 2022, there is no performance fee applies.

Income from operating activity

The income from operating activity mainly comprises the gross dividend income, the changes in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, interest income and the net realised gains/ losses from transactions with financial instruments. The changes in fair value of the equity investments of the Fund are recognised in profit or loss.

The income from operating activity is significantly influenced by the changes in the share price of listed portfolio companies, the performance of the portfolio companies and their resolutions on dividend distributions, as well as by money market performance.

As at 30 June 2022 the Fund's exposure to Romanian equities accounted for 97.2% of the NAV, the difference of 2.8% being represented by the net cash and receivables.

The BET-XT index, which reflects the performance of the top 25 most traded companies listed on BVB's Regulated Market, including the financial investment companies (SIFs), decreased by 6.05% during the first six months of 2022 compared to the end of 2021.

BET-BK index is a free float market capitalisation weighted index of the Romanian and foreign stocks listed on BVB's regulated market with the highest free-float market capitalisation adjusted with liquidity factors. BET-BK was designed to be used as a benchmark by asset managers and other institutional investors. The calculation methodology reflects on legal requirements and investment limits applying to investment funds. BET-BK decreased by 10.5% during the first six months of 2022 compared to the end of 2021.

There are also amplified risks with respect to the

missing professional skills and missing experience in
the industry the company operates in.
The portfolio management team is actively involved
with portfolio companies, promoting and enhancing
high standards of good corporate governance.
Share price discount to NAV risk
Shares of the Fund are traded on the Bucharest and
London stock exchanges. Market participants
expectations may cause the shares of the Fund to trade
at a premium or discount to the NAV per share of the
Fund. Investor returns may be positively or negatively
affected by such market factors.
The Fund has implemented several measures to reduce
the discount to NAV, including an attractive dividend
yield, ongoing buy-back programs as well as
transparency, disclosure, and proactive investor
relation efforts. A discount objective and related DCM
are part of the IPS.
Credit and Counterparty risk
There is a risk of financial loss to the Fund if
counterparties to financial instruments fail to meet
their contractual obligations; it arises principally from
cash and deposits with banks, treasury bills,
government bonds and other receivables.
Cash and short-term money market instruments are
diversified across counterparties. An internal Credit
Counterparty Committee oversees the selection and
approval of authorised counterparties. The committee
meets periodically and reviews current exposure,
credit limits and ratings for counterparties. The
committee has the power to assign a counterparty to a
"watch list" or "restricted list" thereby limiting or
preventing further trades with it.
Liquidity risk
The Fund might not be able to meet its financial
obligations as they fall due.
The Fund's equity investments include unlisted
instruments issued by companies domiciled in
Romania, which are not traded on a regulated market
and generally may be considered illiquid. As a result,
the Fund may not be able to sell certain investments
within the time constraints imposed by its own
liquidity requirements, or to respond to specific events
such as deterioration in the creditworthiness of a
particular issuer.
As a closed end investment fund, liquidity risk of the
Fund is less significant than for an open-end fund, as
shareholders do not have the option to redeem their
holdings. The Fund's approach to managing liquidity
is to ensure that it has sufficient liquid assets to meet
its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal
and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Fund's
reputation. The Fund's assets are periodically
monitored for their liquidity levels under both normal
and stressed market conditions.
Operational and Cyber risk
The Fund might incur direct or indirect loss arising
from a wide variety of causes associated with the
Fund's processes, service providers, technology and
infrastructure, and from external factors such as those
arising from legal and regulatory requirements and
generally accepted standards of corporate behavior.

and external threats. The operational monitoring
system covers all teams involved with the operations
of the Fund.
Legal and Regulatory risk
The existence, operation and the initial set-up of the
Fund are regulated by local and European regulations.
Such regulations may be subject to change or subject
of some local interpretations and may directly affect
the Fund and its shareholders.
This risk is sustained by the legislative history of the
past years that reveals a series of laws which have also
changed the Fund's portfolio composition.
Representatives of the Fund consult with external
agencies and law firms with the aim to anticipate
potential regulatory changes and interpretations and
assess their impact on the Fund. In doing so the Fund
strives to optimise its operational efficiency under
current and upcoming regulations.
Franklin Templeton has internal policies promoting
compliance with best practices and regulations.
Sustainability risk
Sustainability risk means an environmental, social, or
governance event or condition, that, if it occurs, could
potentially or actually cause a material negative
impact on the value of the Fund's investments.
The monitoring of sustainability risks is performed
according to a three-lines of defense model whereby
portfolio management teams integrate sustainability
risks into their investment management process,
second line functions such as investment compliance
and risk monitor the impact of sustainability risks on
the portfolio where relevant, and the third line of
defense functions, such as internal audit, ensure that
the control framework is carried-out according to
policies and procedures in place.

Overview

The cash and cash equivalents (liquid assets) of the Fund during the first six months of 2022 included term deposits with banks and government bonds issued by the Romanian Ministry of Finance. All instruments are denominated in RON and have maturities of up to one year.

The decrease in liquid assets by 11.3% during the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 was mainly due to the amounts paid for tor acquisition of treasury shares (RON 760.1 million), dividends paid, net of withholding tax (RON 1,021.8 million), partially offset by proceeds from disposal of equity investments following the sale of the participation in OMV Petrom (RON 978.3 million) and dividends received, net of withholding tax (RON 626.2 million).

Payables have increased by 104.9% compared to 31 December 2021 mainly due to the increase in administration fee payables due to the distribution fees chargeable following the buy-back tender offer performed by the Fund.

Other liabilities have decreased by 66,3% compared to 31 December 2021 due the fact that at 31 December 2021, the payable due to the dividend distribution with payment date on 18 February 2022 was fully booked.

The net increase in equity investments of RON 3,295.3.8 million during the first six months of 2022 was mainly generated by the increase in the fair value of the unlisted portfolio holding Hidroelectrica SA (RON 3,518.8 million increase) partially offset by the decrease in the fair value of the unlisted portfolio holdings Engie Romania SA (RON 82.4 million), E- Distributie companies (RON 157.8 million).

Equity investments

Classification and measurement of equity investments

Starting 1 January 2014, Fondul Proprietatea applies the Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 - Investment Entities, the Fund being an investment entity. As a result, the Fund classifies and measures its investments in subsidiaries and associates as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Starting 1 January 2018, the Fund adopted IFRS 9 and classified all its equity investments (other than subsidiaries and associates) as equity investments at fair value through profit or loss (the default option under IFRS 9).

The equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and the transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with all changes in fair value accounted for through profit or loss. Equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are not subject to impairment testing.

Valuation

As at 30 June 2022, all the equity investments of the Fund were carried at fair value.

Listed shares are measured at fair value using quoted prices for that instrument at the reporting date.

The fair value of unlisted shares is calculated and approved by the Fund's Sole Director using valuation techniques in accordance with International Valuation Standards, based on independently appraised valuation reports.

The holdings in companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or with negative shareholders' equity, companies in insolvency or reorganisation are valued at nil.

Capital Expenditure

Statement of Comprehensive Income

Source: IFRS financial statements

* Other income, net included mainly the net gain/ (loss) from fair value changes related to government securities, net foreign exchange gain/ (loss) and other operating income/ (expenses).

The net unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the first six months of 2022 of RON 3,295.3 million was mainly generated by the increase in the fair value of the unlisted portfolio holding Hidroelectrica SA (RON 3,518.8 million increase) partially offset by the decrease in the fair value of the unlisted portfolio holdings Engie Romania SA (RON 82.4 million), E- Distributie companies (RON 157.8 million). Net gain from other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is related to the collection of all unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State (Ministry of Finance). At 31 December 2021, the fair value of the receivable was zero.

Gross dividend income for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 included the dividend income earned from the Fund's portfolio companies, mainly from Hidroelectrica SA (RON 764.0 million) and OMV Petrom SA (RON 57.6 million).

Interest income arose from deposits held with banks and from short-term government securities.

Net realised loss from non-current assets held for sale was generated by the partial disposal of OMV Petrom SA holding.

Details regarding the administration fees for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 are presented in the table below:

Source: IFRS financial statements

The increase in the administration fees in H1 2022 compared with H1 2021 was mainly due to:

  • the increase of FP paid shares following the collection of all unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State in the Fund starting with 1 February 2022,
  • the lower base fee rate as per the Management Agreement which came into force on 1 April 2022 (0.45% compared to 0.6% as per the previous Management Agreement);
  • the increase in distribution fee for buy-back programmes is due to the tender offer organized by the Fund which implied the acquisition of 325 million shares and generated a distribution fee chargeable of RON 17.8 million and due to the increased distribution fee to 2.5%, as per the new Management Agreement starting with 1 April 2022 (1% under the previous Management Agreement);
  • the increase in distribution fee for dividend distribution is due to the dividend which was approved by the Fund's shareholders on 20 April 2022 – Total gross distributed amount of RON 774.3 million which generated a distribution fee chargeable of RON 19.4 million (new distribution fee as per the new Management Agreement starting with 1 April 2022: 2.5%).

The new Management Agreement in force starting with 1 April 2022 does not include any Performance fee. The performance recorded in the first three months of 2022, was calculated according with the Management Agreement in force until 31 March 2022. The Fund's share price discount to NAV was: higher than 20% in 3 trading days, between <20% and >15% in 8 trading days and lower than 15% in 52 trading days.

1. General information

Fondul Proprietatea SA (referred to as "Fondul Proprietatea" or "the Fund") was incorporated as a joint stock company and is operating as an undertaking for collective investment, in the form of a closed end investment company, established in accordance with Law no. 247/2005 on the reform in the field of property and justice and other adjacent measures, as subsequently amended ("Law 247/2005") and registered in Bucharest on 28 December 2005. The address of the Fund's registered office is 76 - 80, Buzeşti Street, 7th Floor, District 1, Bucharest.

Starting 1 April 2016, Fondul Proprietatea is an alternative investment fund as defined by the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive and by the Romanian legislation. On 28 January 2022, the Financial Supervisory Authority authorized Fondul Proprietatea as a closed-end Alternative Investment Fund designed for retail investors, with BRD Groupe Société Générale as depositary.

The Fund undertakes its activities in accordance with Law 24/2017 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations, Law 74/2015 regarding Alternative Investment Fund Managers, Law 247/2005, Law 297/2004 regarding the capital market, as subsequently amended, Law 243/2019 regulating the alternative investment funds and amending and supplementing certain normative acts and Companies Law 31/1990 republished as subsequently amended and it is an entity authorised, regulated and supervised by the FSA, as an issuer. Until 2013, FSA (the financial market supervisory authority) was known as the National Securities Commission. In accordance with its Constitutive Act, the main activity of the Fund is the management and administration of its portfolio.

The Fund was initially established to allow the payment in shares equivalent of the compensation due in respect of abusive expropriations undertaken by the Romanian State during the communist period, when properties were not returned in kind. Beginning with 15 March 2013, the compensation process was suspended and starting January 2015, the Romanian State decided to use a different compensation scheme that no longer involves the payment in Fondul Proprietatea shares equivalent.

Starting with 1 April 2016 the Fund is managed by Franklin Templeton International Services S.à r.l. ("FTIS") as its Sole Director and Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") under the Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and local implementation regulations. The FTIS mandate is for a period of two years and the current mandate was approved during 29 September 2021 shareholders' meeting for the period 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2024. The related contractual terms along with the execution of the Management Agreement were approved by the Fund's shareholders during 15 December 2021 shareholders' meeting.

Starting with 1 December 2020, the portfolio management and the administrative activities previously delegated to Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited United Kingdom, Bucharest Branch are performed by FTIS through its Bucharest Branch.

Since 25 January 2011, Fondul Proprietatea has been a listed company on the spot regulated market managed by the Bucharest Stock Exchange in Tier I shares of the Equity Sector of the market (renamed as of 5 January 2015 as Premium Tier shares), under ISIN number ROFPTAACNOR5 with the market symbol "FP".

Since 29 April 2015, the Fund's Global Depositary Receipts ("GDR") have been listed on the London Stock Exchange – Specialist Fund Market, under ISIN number US34460G1067, with the market symbol "FP.". The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed by the Fund to act as depositary bank in relation to the GDR facility. The GDR facility is limited to one-third of the Fund's subscribed share capital under the Romanian securities regulations, each GDR representing 50 shares, and the currency of the GDRs is the US dollar.

These condensed interim financial statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 are not audited.

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting and applying the FSA Norm 39/2015. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, prepared in accordance with IFRS. These condensed interim financial statements are available starting with 31 August 2022, on the Fund's official webpage, www.fondulproprietatea.ro and at the Fund's registered office.

The Fund is an investment entity and does not consolidate its subsidiaries as it applies IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (Investment Entities). In consequence, the Fund does not prepare consolidated financial statements, the separate financial statements being the Fund's only financial statements. The Fund has reassessed the criteria for being an investment entity for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 and continues to meet them.

In determining whether the Fund meets the criteria from the definition of an investment entity, the management considered the investments portfolio structure and the Fund's investment objective. Aspects considered in making this judgement were the fact that the Fund has more than one investment, more investors neither of which are related parties of the Fund and the ownership interests from its portfolio are in the form of equity. The Fund's investment objective is also a typical one for an investment entity, respectively the maximization of returns to shareholders and the increase of the net asset value per share via investments in Romanian equities and equitylinked securities. The Fund's management analysis considered also other relevant factors, including the fact that almost all Fund's investments are accounted for using the fair value model.

(b) Going concern

The Fund's Sole Director has, at the authorisation date of these condensed interim financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Fund has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, it continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

According with the Fund's constitutive act, the duration of Fondul Proprietatea is until 31 December 2031 and it may be extended by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, with additional periods of 5 years.

(c) Basis of measurement

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a fair value basis for the main part of the Fund's assets (equity investments, treasury bills and government bonds, respectively), and on the historical cost or amortised cost basis for the rest of the items included in the financial statements.

(d) Functional and presentation currency

These condensed interim financial statements are prepared and presented in Romanian Lei (RON), which is the Fund's functional and presentation currency. All financial information presented in RON has been rounded to the nearest unit.

(e) Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency of the Fund at the exchange rate valid at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate valid at that date. Non -monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate valid at the date of the transaction and are not subsequently remeasured.

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

(e) Foreign currency (continued)

The exchange rates of the main foreign currencies, published by the National Bank of Romania at 30 June 2022 were as follows: 4.9454 RON/EUR, 4.7424 RON/USD and 5.7525 RON/GBP (30 June 2021: 4.9267 RON/EUR, 4.1425 RON/USD and 5.7374 RON/GBP).

(f) Use of estimates

The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information and critical judgements in applying accounting policies with significant areas of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant impact on the amounts recognised in these condensed interim financial statements are included in the following notes:

  • Note 15 Deferred tax;
  • Note 16 Equity investments;
  • Note 20 Contingencies.

(g) The impact of the Russia – Ukraine military conflict on the Fund's financial position

On 24 February 2022, Russia engaged in military actions on Ukraine territory. Fondul does not have any direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine. The Fund Manager is closely monitoring developments that may impact financial markets including sanctions, actions by governments and developments in Ukraine itself. The Fund Manager will further assess the impact on the portfolio companies operations and valuation and take any potential actions needed, as facts and circumstances are subject to change and may be specific to investment strategies and jurisdictions. At the authorization date of these condensed interim financial statements, the Fund Manager is not able to reliably estimate the impact as events are unfolding day-by-day.

During the six month period ended 30 June 2022, the Fund's Sole Director performed a periodic analysis of multiples values of publicly traded peer companies and of the portfolio companies financial information and adjusted the value of unlisted holdings accordingly, where the case (see Note 5 for further details on fair value adjustments).

The Fund's Sole Director will continue to closely monitor the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures applied on a national and international level.

(h) COVID-19 pandemic

The Romanian Government decided to no longer extend the state of alert beyond 8 March 2022 and lifted all the restrictions imposed in the country in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the Fund's Sole Director will continue to closely monitor the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures applied on a national and international level.

3. Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Fund's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed interim financial statements.

Fair value hierarchy

The Fund classifies the fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement, the levels of the fair value hierarchy being defined as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The table below presents the classification of the financial instruments carried at fair value by fair value hierarchy level, based on the inputs used in making the measurement:

(288,772,189) (103,497,017)
Total 3,295,329,845 1,189,630,743

The unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 was mainly generated by the change in fair value for the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (unrealised gain of RON 3,518,876,030), as a result of the strong performance registered by the company in the period in the current electricity market context. The unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the six month period ended 30 June 2021 was mainly generated by the change in fair value for the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (unrealised gain of RON 909,684,890) and OMV Petrom SA (unrealised gain of RON 243,758,207), as a result of the strong performance of these companies.

The unrealised loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 was generated by the negative change in fair value for the holding in Engie Romania SA (unrealised loss of RON 82,400,000), in E-Distributie Banat SA (unrealised loss of RON 69,900,000), E-Distributie Muntenia SA (unrealised loss of RON 44,200,000) and also in E-Distributie Dobrogea SA (unrealised loss of RON 43,700,000).The unrealised loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss the six month period ended 30 June 2021 was mainly generated by the decrease in fair value for the holding in CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA (unrealised loss of RON 32,200,000), E-Distributie Banat SA (unrealised loss of RON 21,400,000) and E-Distributie Muntenia SA (unrealised loss of RON 20,000,000).

The dividend income was subject to 5% Romanian withholding tax during the six month periods ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021. In cases where the relevant shareholding of the Fund was above 10% of total share capital of the paying company, for at least one year prior to the dividend distribution date, a withholding tax exemption is applied.

6.Gross dividend income (continued)

According to the Annual Cash Distribution Policy of the Fund, the special cash distributions received from portfolio companies are not subject to Fund's dividend distribution to shareholders. The Fund Manager may propose the distribution to shareholders of such amounts after considering the on-going measures imposed by the Discount Control Mechanism and the available cash. For the purpose of the Annual Cash Distribution Policy of the Fund, the special cash distributions are the amounts distributed by the portfolio companies from other sources than the annual net profit included in the latest annual financial statements. From the total gross dividend income for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 a total amount of RON 199,798,481 represented special cash distributions (six month period ended 30 June 2021: RON 252,329,768).

7. Net gain/(loss) from other financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss

The net gain/(loss) from other financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 mainly comprised the realised gain from the change in the fair value of the receivable related to the unpaid share capital from the Romanian State which was classified at fair value through profit or loss due to the failure of Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) test requested by IFRS 9. The fair value of this receivable as at 31 December 2021 was nil.

On 1 February 2022, the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Public Finance, transferred RON 189,182,422 to the Fund, as payment for all unpaid shares, consequently the value of the receivable related to the unpaid share capital from the Romanian State was updated accordingly, and the resulted difference was recorded as realised gain through profit or loss.

The remaining amounts recorded under this category represent the net loss generated by the change in fair value for the government bonds held by the Fund during the six month periods ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021.

8. Net realised loss from non-current assets held for sale

In January 2022, the Fund publicly announced that it had taken the decision to proceed with the partial sale of the investment in OMV Petrom SA (listed company) through an accelerated bookbuild offering. Consequently, as at 31 December 2021, the Fund reclassified, in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, the part of the holding in OMV Petrom SA of RON 1,135,225,000 subject to the bookbuild offering, as non-current assets held for sale. The sale offering was completed on 19 January 2022 for 2,275,000,000 shares representing approximately 57% of Fund's holding in OMV Petrom SA and the gross proceeds received from the disposal amounted to RON 978,250,000.

The realised loss of RON 156,975,000 from the disposal of the non-current assets held for sale represents the difference between the total proceeds from the disposal (RON 978,250,000) and the fair value at the reclassification date of the non-current assets held for sale disposed of (RON 1,135,225,000).

There were no assets classified as non-current assets held for sale during the six month period ended 30 June 2021.

10. Finance cost

On 29 June 2020, the Fund extended the credit facility concluded with BRD - Groupe Societe Generale SA for a period of another two years, until 29 June 2022. The credit facility is for general corporate and operational use and has a committed amount of RON 45,000,000. The Fund may access, subject to bank's approval and in accordance with the provisions of the credit facility agreement, additional financing in excess of the said committed amount, without exceeding a total amount of RON 100,000,000 at any given time. The Fund decided not to extend the credit facility.

The finance costs for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 of RON 37,250 (six month period ended 30 June 2021: RON 45,250) comprise the commitment fee on undrawn amounts from the credit facility. No amount was drawn by the Fund during the period.

The fiscal result impact as at 30 June 2022 of RON 28,912,733 included in the table above represents the unrecognised deferred tax asset for the tax losses recorded for the six month period ended 30 June 2022.

The fiscal result impact as at 30 June 2021 of RON 37,961,570 included in the table above represents the current tax on profit for the first six months of 2021 which was offset by the Fund's tax losses carried forward.

As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 there is no income tax due or to be recovered from the State Budget by the Fund.

See Note 15 Deferred tax for details regarding the deferred tax computation and recognition.

12. Basic and diluted earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary paid shares in issue during the period, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Fund and held as treasury shares (based on their settlement date). As at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021, none of the Fund's issued shares or other instruments had dilutive effect, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

The cash held in the distributions bank accounts can only be used for payments to shareholders. Such payments are subject to a general statute of limitation, respectively the shareholders may request the payments only within a threeyear term starting with the distribution payment date, except for specific instances that are individually assessed.

15. Deferred tax

As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 there is no difference between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities that could result in amounts that are deductible/ taxable when determining taxable profit or tax loss of future periods. In consequence, as at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021, the net deferred tax position is nil as the Fund did not recognise any deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability.

As at 30 June 2022 the unused fiscal loss carried forward amounts to RON RON 3,000,035,282 out of which RON 2,499,510,496 will expire on 31 December 2022 and RON 500,524,785 will expire on 31 December 2027.

As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 the Fund did not recognise any deferred tax asset for the unused tax losses carried forward as there is a high probability that there will be insufficient future taxable profit against which the loss carried forward can be utilised.

The effective tax rate used to calculate the deferred tax position of the Fund is 16% (standard tax rate).

There was no movement in the deferred tax position during the six month periods ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021. The deferred tax balances during both these periods were zero.

16. Equity investments

All Fund's equity investments are classified at fair value through profit or loss.

The equity instruments of the Fund are valued at fair value as follows:

  • At fair value, determined either by reference to published prices on the stock exchange where shares are traded (listed securities) or assessed using valuation techniques in accordance with International Valuation Standards (unlisted securities);
  • Valued at nil, for holdings in companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, judicial reorganisation or which ceased their activity.

The movement in the carrying amounts of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss during the six month periods ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 is presented below:

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety.

If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs, that financial instrument is classified on Level 3. Assessing the significance of an input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires significant judgment, considering factors specific to the asset.

The Fund considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

For Level 3, the equity investments valuations were performed using valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs, which ensures that the underlying data is accurate, and that appropriate inputs were used in the valuation.

As at 30 June 2022, the fair value for 91% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2021: for 89% of the Level 3 equity investments) was determined by applying the market comparison technique using comparable trading multiples for EBITDA, while the fair value for almost 9% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2021: for almost 11% of the Level 3 equity investments) was determined by applying the income approach using the discounted cash flow method. There was no significant change in the valuation technique used for the valuation of the holdings as at 30 June 2022 compared with that used as at 31 December 2021.

The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 30 June 2022 was prepared as follows:

  • 84.0% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation report updated with the assistance of the independent valuer as at 31 May 2022 incorporating the impact of any significant corporate action that took place until 30 June 2022 based on financials as at 30 April 2022;

  • 14.5% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation report updated with the assistance of the independent valuer as at 31 May 2022 incorporating the impact of any significant corporate action that took place until 30 June 2022 based on financials as at 31 March 2022;

  • 1.2% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation reports prepared with the assistance of an independent valuer as at 31 October 2021;

  • 0.3% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments representing listed but illiquid holdings was determined based on the last available Bucharest Stock Exchange reference price;

  • the holdings in companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, judicial reorganisation or which ceased their activity were valued at nil.

The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 30 June 2021 was prepared as follows:

  • 97.3% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation reports updated with the assistance of the independent valuer as at 31 May 2021 incorporating the impact of any significant corporate action that took place until 30 June 2021;

  • 2.1% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation reports prepared with the assistance of an independent valuer as at 31 October 2020;

  • 0.7% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments representing listed but illiquid holdings was determined based on the last available Bucharest Stock Exchange reference price;

  • the holdings in companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, judicial reorganisation or which ceased their activity were valued at nil.

The Fund's Sole Director believes that the fair values of the equity investments presented in these condensed interim financial statements represent the best estimates based on available information and under the current conditions.

The valuations are based on prevailing market, economic and other conditions at the valuation date and correspond with a period of significant volatility in global financial markets and widespread macro-economic uncertainty. To the extent possible, these conditions were reflected in the valuation. However, the factors driving these conditions can change over relatively short periods of time. The impact of any subsequent changes in these conditions on the global economy and financial markets generally, and on the Fund's portfolio holdings specifically, could impact the estimated fair values in the future, either positively or negatively.

The achievement of the forecasts included in the valuation reports critically depends on the assumptions used, on the specific developments of the portfolio companies' business, on government legislation and, in case of electricity sector, on the decisions regarding the regulated tariffs for electricity distribution as well as on the continuing restructuring process of the power sector.

As a result, the current valuation may not have identified, or reliably quantified the impact of all such uncertainties and implications.

The Fund's management has analysed the period between the date of the valuation reports and the date when these condensed interim financial statements were authorised for issue and there was no information known or available to the Fund's management which may have significant impact on the fair values of the equity investments as at the reporting date, as they are presented in these condensed interim financial statements.

Considering the economic uncertainties, the risks and the strong volatility existing in the capital markets, the Fund's Sole Director closely monitors the evolution of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures on the Fund's portfolio companies. The Fund's Sole Director will perform a periodic analysis of multiples values of publicly traded peer companies and of the available portfolio companies' financial information and will adjust the value of unlisted holdings accordingly, if the case.

The Fund has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework includes a valuation department and a valuation committee, both independent of portfolio management which have overall responsibility for fair value measurements.

The economic uncertainties are expected to continue in the foreseeable future and consequently, there is a possibility that the assets of the Fund are not recovered at their carrying amounts in the ordinary course of business. A corresponding impact on the Fund's profitability cannot be estimated reliably as of the date of these condensed interim financial statements.

Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that the Fund believes that a third-party market participant would consider these factors in pricing a transaction.

For the financial investments classified as Level 1, the Fund had adequate information available with respect to active markets, with sufficient trading volume, for obtaining accurate prices.

Fair values for these equity instruments were considered to be those
used in the calculation of the net asset value of the Fund, in accordance
with the regulations issued by the Financial Supervisory Authority.

As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Fund's investments in companies in liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, judicial reorganisation or which ceased their activity are valued at nil.

Significant unobservable inputs are the following:

Revenue multiple: is a tool used to appraise businesses based on market comparison to similar public companies. Revenue based business value estimation may be preferred to earnings multiple valuation whenever there is uncertainty regarding some of a company's expenses. The most common tendency is to

value a firm based on its sales whenever this number is the most direct indication of a company's earning capacity.

EBITDA multiple: represents the most relevant multiple used when pricing investments and it is calculated using information from comparable public companies (similar geographic location, industry size, target markets and other factors that valuers consider to be reasonable). The traded multiples for comparable companies are determined by dividing the enterprise value of a company by its EBITDA and further discounted for considerations such as the lack of marketability and other differences between the comparable peer group and specific company.

Discount for lack of marketability: represents the discount applied to the comparable market multiples to reflect the liquidity differences between a portfolio company relative to its comparable peer group. Valuers estimate the discount for lack of marketability based on their professional judgement after considering market liquidity conditions and company-specific factors.

Discount for lack of control: represents the discount applied to reflect the absence of the power of control considered under the discounted cash flow method, in order to derive the value of a minority shareholding in the equity of subject companies.

Weighted average cost of capital: represents the calculation of a company's cost of capital in nominal terms (including inflation), based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model. All capital sources (shares, bonds and any other long-term debts) are included in a weighted average cost of capital calculation.

Price/Earnings multiple ("P/E"): Price/Earnings ratio is a market prospect ratio that calculates the market value of an investment relative to its earnings by comparing the market price per share by the earnings per share. It shows what the market is willing to pay for an investment based on its current earnings. Investors often use this ratio to evaluate what an investment's fair market value should be by predicting future earnings per share.

Price/Book value multiple: often expressed simply as price-to-book, this multiple measures a company's market price in relation to its book value (net assets). It reflects how many times the book value per share investors are ready to pay for a share. The Price/Book value multiple varies dramatically between industries. A company that requires more assets (e.g. a manufacturing company with factory space and machinery) will generally post a significantly lower price to book than a company whose earnings come from the provision of a service (e.g. a consulting firm).

19. Shareholders' equity

(a) Share capital

On 1 February 2022, the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Finance paid RON 189,182,422 to the Fund, as payment for the unpaid shares owned by the Romanian State in the Fund (as at 31 December 2021, the Romanian State held 363,812,350 unpaid shares, each share having a nominal value of RON 0.52). This payment was performed in exercise of the Romanian State's rights under Law 247/2005 on the reform in the fields of property and justice, as well as some adjacent measures.

Consequently, starting 1 February 2022, the new value of the Fund's subscribed and paid-up share capital is RON 3,334,342,422.84 (divided into 6,412,196,967 shares with a nominal value of RON 0.52/share).

The table below presents the Fund's shares balance and their nominal value:

30 June 2022 31 December 2021
Number of shares in issue 6,412,196,967 6,412,196,967
Number of paid shares 6,412,196,967 6,048,384,617

investors
Romanian State 5.78%
Foreign private individuals 2.95%
Treasury shares 7.52%
Total 100.00%

Source: Depozitarul Central SA (Central Depositary)

(b) Reserves related to the unpaid share capital

Unpaid share capital represented the nominal value of certain contributions due to the Fund by the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Public Finance as shareholder, which were initially recorded as paid share capital (based on Law 247/2005) and in 2011 were considered unpaid following the final results of several litigations that took place in the past. Holders of unpaid shares are not entitled to vote or to receive dividends or other cash distributions, until the matters are legally clarified.

Due to the fact that there are no clear provisions regarding the unpaid share capital in the special legislation related to the Fund and that according to the general framework provided by the Companies' Law the deadline for the payment by the Romanian State represented by Ministry of Public Finance of the unpaid share capital expired, the Fund recorded a presentation adjustment as at 31 December 2017 for the entire balance of unpaid share capital against other reserves.

This adjustment was recorded in the financial statements only for presentation purpose.

As at 31 December 2021 the fair value of the receivable related to the unpaid amounts from the Romanian State was nil. On 1 February 2022, the Romanian State, represented by the Ministry of Public Finance, transferred RON 189,182,422 to the Fund, as payment for all unpaid shares mentioned above. The registration of the new share capital structure (subscribed and paid-up) and of the total voting rights of the Ministry of Public Finance with the Trade Registry, Financial Supervisory Authority and the Central Depositary was completed during the first quarter of 2022. Consequently, this presentation adjustment was reversed in the first quarter of 2022.

(c) Other reserves

30 June 2022 31 December 2021
Legal reserve 666,868,485 666,868,485
Other reserves 230,576,693 671,941,938
Distributions for which the statute of limitation occurred 123,281 123,281
Losses from cancellation of treasury shares (negative equity reserves) - (671,941,938)
897,568,459 666,991,766

As required by the Romanian Companies' Law, a minimum 5% of the profit for the year must be transferred to the legal reserve until the reserve equals at least 20% of the issued share capital. The legal reserve cannot be used for distributions to shareholders. As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021, the legal reserve amount represented 20% of the value of the issued share capital.

The amounts allocated to other reserves are to be used to cover the losses (negative reserves) recorded from cancellation of shares acquired through the buy-back programmes.

During the General Shareholder Meeting ("GSM") held on 20 April 2022 the shareholders authorized that the amount of RON 671,941,938, which was allocated to other reserves based on the 28 April 2021 GSM, be used to cover the negative reserve generated from the cancellation of shares acquired during 2020 through the eleventh buy-back programme. During the GSM held on 20 April 2022, the Fund's shareholders also approved the allocation to other reserves of an amount of RON 230,576,693 from the 2021 net accounting profit to be used for covering the negative reserves estimated to arise from the cancellation of treasury shares acquired during 2021 through the twelfth buy-back programme.

Losses from cancellation of treasury shares comprise the negative reserves related to the losses on the cancellation of treasury shares acquired at an acquisition value higher than the nominal value. These amounts will be covered from retained earnings and other equity elements, in accordance with the resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting.

Since January 2017, the Fund's share nominal value was constantly lower than its market price, situation which did not change up to the date of these financial statements. All buy-backs performed after this date were made at an acquisition price higher than the nominal value and consequently all cancellations of treasury shares acquired through the buy-back programmes generated negative reserves.

There was no negative reserve recorded during the six month periods ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021.

* The dividend payment is subject to the general statute of limitation. As such, shareholders may request the payment only within a three-year term from the Starting Payment Date, unless the legislation provides for another term.

Only the shareholders registered in the shareholders' registry with the Central Depositary on the registration date approved by the Fund's shareholders have the right to receive the related gross dividend, proportionally with their participation in the paid-in share capital of the Fund.

During the 20 April 2022 General Shareholders Meeting, the Fund's shareholders approved the distribution of a gross dividend of RON 0.1250 per share from 2021 profit. The shareholders registered in the shareholders' registry with the Central Depositary on 3 June 2022 have the right to receive a gross dividend of RON 0.1250 per share, proportionally with their participation in the paid in share capital of the Fund. The payment started on 27 June 2022.

20. Contingencies

(a) Litigations

At 30 June 2022, the Fund was involved in certain litigations, either as defendant or claimant. After analysing the requirements of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Fund considers that there are no litigations which may have significant effects on the Fund's financial position or profitability.

(b) Other contingencies

Other contingencies of the Fund included the receivables from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA and the potential payable regarding CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA share capital increase, as detailed below.

(i) Receivables from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA

Title II, Article 4 of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 81/2007 stipulated the transfer of World Trade Center Bucuresti SA receivables from the Authority for State Assets Recovery to the Fund, amounting to USD 68,814,198 (including the original principal and related interest and penalties) on 29 June 2007.

Between 2008 and 2010 the Fund recovered from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA, USD 510,131, EUR 148,701 and RON 8,724,888. Given the uncertainties regarding the recoverability of the amounts due by World Trade Center Bucuresti SA, the above amounts were recognised on receipt basis in the Fund's financial statements.

20. Contingencies (continued)

The amounts recovered from the enforcement procedure were accounted for by the Fund as contributions of the Romanian State to the share capital of the Fund, decreasing the receivable related to the unpaid capital.

In August 2013, World Trade Center Bucuresti SA filed a claim against the Fund asking the Fund to pay back all the amounts received through the enforcement procedure during 2010 and 2011 (EUR 148,701, USD 10,131 and RON 8,829,663).

On 7 July 2016, the Bucharest Court admitted the claim filed by World Trade Center Bucuresti SA and obliged Fondul Proprietatea to pay back the amounts recovered from the enforcement procedure (EUR 148,701, USD 10,131 and RON 8,829,663) and the related legal interest calculated for these amounts. During the period from July to August 2016, the Fund performed the payment of these amounts and the related legal interest to World Trade Center Bucuresti SA. The Court decision is irrevocable.

On 18 February 2020, the Court ruled in favour of the Fund in the case started against the Romanian State, represented by Ministry of Public Finance, for recovering the contributions of the Romanian State to the share capital of the Fund. The decision was issued in the first stage and Ministry of Public Finance appealed it. On 18 September 2020, Bucharest Court of Appeal admitted the appeal of Ministry of Public Finance. The Fund filled the second appeal which was rejected by the High Court of Cassation and Justice on 1 April 2021. Consequently, the amounts mentioned above are to be recovered by the Fund from World Trade Center Bucuresti SA.

The Fund has initiated legal actions in this respect, which are pending with the Court. In case that the court decision is unfavorable, the Fund - based on the argumentation of the Court and the argumentation of the High Court of Cassation and Justice in the previous claim against the State (which is yet to be communicated to us) will consider what other steps can be taken to recover the amount from the Romanian State, as payment for the shares which will be considered unpaid.

(b) Other contingencies (continuare)

(ii) CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA share capital increase

CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti called through the convening notice published in the Official Gazette of Romania Part IV no. 3873/20.09.2021, a General Shareholders Meeting for 25 October 2021, in order to approve a share capital increase with the land located inside the Baneasa airport, brought as Romanian state's contribution in kind to the company's share capital. The proposed value for the share capital increase was initially RON 3,814,809,171. This is the third time when the process to increase the share capital is initiated since 2001 when Baneasa Airport received the land ownership certificates.

During 26 October 2021 (i.e. second call of the shareholders meeting) the share capital increase was approved only with Romanian State votes in favour as follows:

  • The share capital increase approved was for RON 4,768,511,460, out of which:
  • RON 3,814,809,170 represents in kind contribution of Romanian State calculated as the value of the land parcels valuated by the valuer appointed by Trade Register;
  • The amount of RON 953,702,290 represents the value of shares offered to be subscribed by Fondul Proprietatea for maintaining 20% participation in the share capital. The preference rights may be used by the Fund within 60 days calculated starting with the date when the shareholders resolution is published in the Official Gazette;
  • After 60 days period expires, the share capital will increase with the value of paid-up shares (Romanian State contribution in kind being already considered to be completed);
  • If the Fund will not subscribe, the unsubscribed shares will be cancelled and Fondul Proprietatea's holding will be diluted to 0.73%.

Fondul Proprietatea already expressed its opinion strongly disputing the fundamentally flawed land valuation report, as the land valuation report carried out in 2021 attributes a very high value to the land, despite a previously approved valuation report from 2017, which had set the value of the same land at RON 269 million.

20.Contingencies (continued)

Fondul Proprietatea commenced court proceedings for the annulment of the shareholders resolutions asking the court to suspend the entire process till the claim for annulment case is irrevocably closed, to protect the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Following the hearing that took place on 13 January 2022, the Bucharest Court of Appeal admitted the request of suspension filed by the Fund and ordered the suspension of the effects of the increase until the claim for the annulment of the CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti GSM is irrevocably settled.

Considering the above, the dilution risk was assessed as not significant and thus no additional adjustments were applied to the valuation of the company.

The Fund will continue to update its shareholders regarding the share capital increase process. The duration of court cases in Romania is not predictable. However, the Fund will use all legal available means to have a solution for this issue as soon as possible.

Thus, the amount of RON 384,520 was paid to him as net remuneration while the corresponding overpaid contributions to the State Budget resulted following the recalculation were offset by the Fund with the taxes payable to the State Budget.

There were no loans between the Fund and the members of the Board of Nominees neither in the first six months of 2022 nor in the first six months of 2021.

There are no post-employment, long term or termination benefits related to the remuneration of the members of the Board of Nominees.
