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 NAV per share1 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 – second reporting period – interim monitoring

The Adjusted NAV per share as at 30 June 2023 was 4.1% lower than the 31 December 2022 NAV per share of RON 2.5701.

¹ 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 non-dividend 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.

The Adjusted NAV per share at 30 June 2023 is lower than 31 December 2022 NAV per share mainly as a result of the adjustment in Hidroelectrica SA valuation, as part of the IPO process finalised at the beginning of July. The final IPO price was RON 104 per share, which implied a 14.6% discount (RON 1.58 billion) vs. the latest valuation in 31 May 2023 NAV.

The Sole Director is committed to its continued efforts towards protecting shareholders' value and implementing the necessary measures in accordance with the IPS to address the volatile environment which marked the last years.

In January the AIFM started the implementation of the 14th buyback programme, including a Tender offer for 225 million shares of the Fund (in the form of ordinary shares and GDRs) that was completed on 13 March 2023. Also, at the Sole Director's proposal, during the 21 April 2023 GSM the shareholders approved a dividend distribution of RON 0.05 per share with payment date on 6 June 2023. Following the above, the total distributions to the Fund's shareholders during the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 amount to RON 881.3 million.

In addition, shareholders approved during the 18 August 2023 GSM, a special dividend distribution from Hidroelectrica SA IPO proceeds of RON 1.7225 per share with payment date on 29 September 2023. For more details, please see Subsequent events section.

Discount Objective – second reporting period – interim monitoring

In the period 1 January 2023 - 30 June 2023, the discount to NAV was above 15% in all trading days.

	Discount at 3 Jan 2023	Discount at 30 Jun 2023	Average Discount 3 Jan – 30 Jun 2023	Discount Range 3 Jan – 30 Jun 2023

Note: The discount is calculated based on the latest published NAV available for the day of the calculation

The AIFM will continue its efforts to minimise the discount to NAV, through close collaboration with underlying portfolio assets to improve governance, efficiency, and profitability, as well as ongoing implementation of the Discount Control Mechanism, transparent communication, and disclosure, supported by proactive investor relations.

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 six road-shows in London and United States and met with 54 investment firms 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 semester, we also participated to four investor conferences in London, meeting with 20 representatives of international institutional investors.

Furthermore, during the first six months of 2023, we organized 37 conference calls and 19 in-person meetings with institutional investors and financial analysts covering Fondul Proprietatea, interested in the latest developments regarding the Fund's corporate actions, and its portfolio companies.

Taxonomy Regulation

The investments underlying Fondul Proprietatea do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities, including enabling or transitional activities, within the meaning of the Taxonomy Regulation.

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive

On 28 November 2022, the European Parliament adopted Directive (EU) 2022/2464 regarding corporate sustainability reporting, published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 16 December 2022. The requirements will start to apply between 2024 and 2028, and the Member States have to transpose the directive into local legislation so that it applies from 1 January 2024.

According to the provisions in CSRD, there is an explicit exemption for alternative investment funds in respect of the applicability of reporting requirements on sustainability information based on the provisions introduced in the revised Accounting Directive, Article 1 Scope, paragraph 4.

On 15 June 2023, the FSA published on its website for public consultation a draft norm amending FSA Norm no. 39/2015, implementing CSRD requirements for Fondul. Based on the provisions of this draft norm, similarly to the provisions of CSRD, there is a specific exemption from the reporting requirements on sustainability information applicable in case of the Fund.

The Fund will continue to monitor the implementation of the directive requirements within the national legislation, during the following reporting periods.

Regulatory updates

Changes in Romanian Water Law

As a hydro energy producer, Hidroelectrica SA is obliged to pay to ANAR a turbinated water tax which was generally calculated based on the volume of water used to generate electricity by its hydropower plants. Until recently, in the absence of a special equipment installed to measure the used water volumes in order to calculate the applicable turbinated tax, Hidroelectrica SA was required to pay an equivalent of the maximum authorized debit of its powerplants, multiplied by the operating time of the power generation.

On 31 May 2023, the Government issued GEO no. 52/2023, which amended the turbinated water tax collected by ANAR setting a new quantification method, respectively a new fee of RON 37/ MWh generated. In addition, the new law repealed the provisions according to which the water tax was annually indexed with the annual consumption price index.

Changes in the legislation regarding corporate governance of public enterprises

In June 2023, the Parliament of Romania approved Law no. 187/2023 for amending and supplementing GEO no. 109/2011 on corporate governance of public enterprises. According to Law 187/2023 the Agency for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Performance of Public Enterprises (RO: Agentia pentru Monitorizarea si Evaluarea Performantelor Intreprinderilor Publice - "AMEPIP") shall be set up under the Romanian Government. According to the law, AMEPIP's role is to establish the corporate governance policies for SOEs as well as to coordinate the implementation of corporate governance rules at the level of tutelary public authorities.

AMEPIP's main responsibilities include:

(i) participation in the selection procedure for the appointment of the board members of public enterprises at central level, through its representatives in the nomination and selection committees;
(ii) approval of the minimum level of the key performance indicators for SOEs;
(iii) monitoring the implementation of the remuneration policy, the objectives and strategies of public enterprises and assessment of the performance of the board members of public enterprises;
(iv) application of sanctions to public tutelary authorities, public enterprises, and other responsible persons.

Outlook for 2023

The World Health Organization announced in May that it no longer considers COVID-19 to be a "global health emergency". According to the IMF1 , the global economy experiences a gradual recovery from the powerful blows of the COVID 19 pandemic and Russia's unprovoked war on Ukraine, with supply-chains largely recovered and inflation still at high rates that continue to affect purchasing power.

Global growth is projected at 3.0% for both 2023 and 2024. For Romania, according to April 2023 World Economic Outlook published by IMF, the real GDP growth for 2022 was 4.8% and this is expected to drop to 2.4% in 2023 and increase to 3.7% in 20241 .

IMF projections from July 20231 forecast global inflation to fall from 8.7% in 2022 to 6.8% in 2023 and 5.2% in 2024. According to Eurostat2 , the EU annual inflation rate was 5.5% in June 2023, down from

¹ World Economic Outlook, April and July 2023, www.imf.org

² Eurostat – Euro Indicators Publication no. 81/19 July 2023, www.ec.europa.eu/eurostat

6.1% in May. For Romania, according with National Statistics Institute1 the annual inflation rate in June 2023 was 10.3%.

According to the monthly BVB report2 for June 2023, the capital market in Romania increased by 10.0% in the first six months, taking into account the BET-TR index, but this development took place against the backdrop of decreased liquidity. Also, at the end of June 2023 the number of investors in the Romanian capital market reached 141,000, a level that represents an all-time high.

On 11 January 2023, the Board of the National Bank of Romania once again raised its key monetary policy rate by 0.25% to 7.0%, the eighth consecutive rate hike, in line with the trend followed by most central banks across the world.

Whilst the potential for further interest rates increases is high, we expect inflationary pressure to be more subdued through the second semester of 2023. With the right mix of fiscal and economic policy, Romania once again has strong prospects to become one of the best performing economies in the European Union.

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.

Evolution of the NAV per share (RON)

The following chart shows information on the monthly published NAVs per share for the period 31 December 2022 to 30 June 2023:

Source: Fund Manager calculations

During the first quarter of 2023, the NAV per share had an increase of 0.5% compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the tender offer within the 14th buyback programme that was finalised in March and the slight net increase in the value of listed holdings.

During the quarter, the Fund has also performed an analysis of the unlisted holdings valuation based on the most recent information available (market multiples, updated financial information, business plans, changes in legislation) and concluded that there were no significant changes. As a result, no updates were required to the valuation of the unlisted holdings in the portfolio.

During the second quarter of 2023, the NAV per share had an overall decrease of 6.7% compared to the end of the first quarter, mainly due to the valuation update of the holding in Hidroelectrica SA at the end of June (details included below), which was partially netted of by the (1) dividends recorded from portfolio companies (impact on the Fund's NAV of RON 962.5 million), (2) the valuation update of the other significant unlisted holdings in the portfolio (details included below), and (3) the 14th buyback programme carried out by the Fund during this period.

In April 2023, the valuation of the holding in Hidroelectrica SA was updated with assistance from KPMG Advisory, using the Discounted Cash Flow method as primary valuation method and taking into consideration the final (audited) financial statements as at 31 December 2022, the financial information as at 31 March 2023, the dividends approved by the company's shareholders on 28 April GSM and the Company's Business plan.

Also, following the signing on 19 April 2023 of the Sale and Purchase Agreement between the Fund, as seller, and Public Power Corporation SA, as purchaser, for the sale of all the equity stakes held by the Fund in E-Distributie Muntenia SA, Enel Energie Muntenia SA, E-Distributie Dobrogea SA, E-Distributie Banat SA, and Enel Energie SA, in exchange for a total consideration of RON 650,000,000, the Fund update the valuation of these holdings accordingly.

For 30 June 2023 NAV, following the completion of the offer period and publication of the pricing announcement on 5 July 2023 for Hidroelectrica SA IPO, the Fund updated the valuation of Hidroelectrica SA based on the total gross IPO proceeds of RON 9,281.2 million, resulting in a 14.6% discount vs. the valuation in 31 May 2023 NAV. The price used in valuation (RON 103.46 per share) was the weighted average between the final IPO price (RON 104 per share) and the discounted price for the retail investors (RON 100.88 per share).

In addition, in June the Fund performed valuation updates for the remaining 4 large unlisted holdings, which together with Hidroelectrica SA and Enel holdings represent 98.0% of the Fund's total unlisted portfolio as at 30 June 2023. 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 2023 (date for the market multiples) and it was based on the financial data of the companies as at 31 March 2023. The reports also considered all relevant subsequent events until 30 June 2023 (such as dividends declared, changes in legislation, etc.). The total impact of the valuation update was an increase of RON 218.4 million compared to 31 December 2022 NAV.

Participation in share capital increases/ decreases

Hidroelectrica SA share capital increase

On 20 April 2023, the Fund subscribed to the share capital increase of Hidroelectrica SA with a cash contribution of RON 2,678,640. The registration of the share capital increase with the Romanian Trade Registry was finalised on 29 May 2023.

CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA share capital increase

CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti called a GSM that took place on 25 October 2021 through the convening notice published in the Official Gazette of Romania Part IV no. 3873/20.09.2021, for the approval of a share capital increase with the land inside Baneasa airport, brought as Romanian State's contribution in kind to the company's capital. The initial proposed value for the share capital increase was RON 3,814,809,171. This was the third time the share capital increase process was 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 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 Registry;
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 of Romania;
After the 60 days period expires, the share capital would 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 would not subscribe, the unsubscribed shares would 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.

To protect the interest of the Fund and its shareholders, 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.

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 GSM is irrevocably settled.

In the litigation related to the claim for annulment of the aforementioned GSM, on 25 May 2023, Ilfov Court (Tribunalul Ilfov) dismissed the Fund's claim as unfounded. The Court's decision is not final. The Fund filed the appeal against the decision.

Considering the above, the dilution risk was assessed as not significant and thus no additional adjustments were applied to the valuation of the company for 30 June 2023.

CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime share capital increase

On 9 February 2022, during the CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime 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. The first instance court has rejected the complaint. The Fund has appealed the decision and the Court set the next hearing on 13 September 2023.

Aeroportul International Timisoara SA share capital increase

During the GSM held on 9 June 2023, the majority shareholder approved a share capital increase of RON 25.2 million, by issuing 2,523,850 new shares at a nominal value of RON 10 per share, to finance a proposed investment project. In order to avoid dilution, Fondul Proprietatea would have to subscribe to 504,770 new shares, or RON 5.04 million. Fondul Proprietatea challenged the validity of the GSM decision, and the Court decided to suspend the effects of the share capital increase until there is a final verdict on the issues raised in the initial claim. However, the suspension decision is subject to appeal from the company.

Restructuring plan of CE Oltenia and related roadmap

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 with the view to 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).

As approved in the general shareholders meetings of CE Oltenia, the Company will develop 4 solar parks with a total capacity of 455 MW together with OMV Petrom, 4 solar parks with a total capacity of 280 MW and a 475 MW natural gas energy block with Tinmar Energy and an 850 MW combined cycle power plant on natural gas with Alro.

The restructuring led to a spin-off from CE Oltenia of 2 units totalling 300MW, respectively of the Craiova II Power Plant Branch. Shareholders approved the spin-off process and related actions during the August 2022 GSM. The new company, Electrocentrale Craiova SA, was established following a symmetric spin-off, taking over the assets and liabilities of Craiova II Power Plant Branch and mirrors percentage wise the current shareholding structure of CE Oltenia (share capital of RON 23,829,130 with FP's stake of 21.559%, respectively 513,754 shares).

In 2023, CE Oltenia will receive approximately EUR 91 million (RON 449 million) in state aid as part of the Restructuring Plan. The state aid is intended to finance the purchase of greenhouse gas emission certificates in 2023. The company has received grants worth EUR 776 million so far.

As per the restructuring plan, the Romanian authorities committed to create a distinct subsidiary of CE Oltenia ("the lignite subsidiary") which will comprise and operate the existing lignite power units and related assets of CE Oltenia that are not intended for transition to gas or renewables. The accounts of the lignite subsidiary will be clearly separated from the accounts of CE Oltenia. Such lignite capacities should decrease over time in line with national lignite phase-out calendar. During the GSM taking place on 4 August 2023, the shareholders approved to initiate the establishment of the lignite subsidiary which as per the Restructuring Plan should be completed before the end of the restructuring period i.e. before the end of 2026.

The recent change in the legislation brought by GEO 26/2023, allowing land valuation to be carried out at fair value, facilitated the initiation of the share capital increase with the value of the lands that will be contributed by CE Oltenia in the new investment companies, brought as Ministry of Energy's in-kind contribution to the company's share capital.

The share capital increase with the value of the lands amounting to EUR 41 million (RON 204 million) was approved during the GSM taking place on 29 August 2023, by issuing 20,346,788 new shares at a nominal value of RON 10 per share in favour of the Ministry of Energy. Following the implementation of the share capital increase with the value of the lands, given that the Fund does not intend to contribute cash, the Fund's stake in CE Oltenia will decrease to 11.81% while Ministry of Energy's stake will increase to 87.48%.

In line with the Restructuring Plan that also entails an equity contribution in cash, CE Oltenia has conveyed a GSM for the approval of the share capital increase operation for 28 September 2023. Assuming the Fund will not participate, the Fund's stake in CE Oltenia share capital is estimated to decrease to 7.37%.

Enel companies and Enel Spa exit from Romania

For more details regarding the factors impacting the business of Enel group companies in Romania during 2022, please see the Fund's Annual Report for 2022.

On 14 December, Enel Spa announced that it entered into an exclusivity agreement with Greek company Public Power Corporation (PPC) in relation to the potential disposal of all the equity held by Enel Group in Romania (Target Assets). During the exclusivity period that ended on 28 February 2023, the parties negotiated the transaction documentation and PPC carried out appropriate due diligence on the Target Assets.

According to the announcement, the closing of the sale, which is expected by Q3 2023, is subject to certain conditions precedent customary for this kind of transactions, including the clearance from competent antitrust authorities.

On 14 March 2023 the AIFM of the Fund informed the shareholders about the receipt of the tag along right under the Privatisation Agreement entered into between Electrica SA and Enel on 11 June 2007 relating to the acquisition of and subscription for shares in the subsidiary for Electricity Distribution and Supply Electrica Muntenia Sud SA, in relation to the Fund's shareholding in Enel Energie Muntenia SA and E-Distributie Muntenia SA. The tag along notice was triggered following the entry by Enel and PPC into the agreement for the sale of all the equity stakes held by the Enel Group in Romania.

On 19 April 2023 the Fund, as seller, and PPC, as purchaser, have concluded an agreement for the sale of all the equity stakes held by the Fund in E-Distributie Muntenia SA, Enel Energie Muntenia SA, E-Distributie Dobrogea SA, E-Distributie Banat SA, and Enel Energie SA (the "SPA"), in exchange for a total consideration of RON 650,000,000.

The completion of the sale under the SPA is subject, among others, to the closing of the transaction between Enel and PPC, which is expected to take place in Q3 2023.

Energy Sector

Energy market developments

As per currently available information from the grid operator, national electricity consumption decreased by 7% y.o.y. in Q2 2023, while national production increased by 5%. Romania continued to be a net power exporter in Q2 2023, as in the previous two quarters.

As per OMV Petrom's estimates, national gas consumption significantly decreased by approximately 12% compared to Q2 2022, mainly as a result of Brazi power plant outage and reduced industrial gas offtake.

On the Romanian centralised markets, the weighted average price of natural gas for transactions with medium and long-term standardised products concluded in Q2 2023, irrespective of delivery period, was RON 168/MWh (Q2 2022: RON 471/MWh). The average price for the quantities delivered during the quarter was RON 252/MWh (Q2 2022: RON 406/MWh). Regarding short-term deliveries, on BRM day-ahead market, the average price in Q2 2023 was RON 175/MWh (Q2 2022: RON 506/MWh).

Energy market regulatory environment

Updates on the energy market regulatory environment

There were no major updates in the energy market regulatory environment during the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. An overview of main regulatory requirements, relevant for the companies in the Fund's portfolio, is included below.

Overview of main regulatory requirements in the energy sector

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

GEO no. 108/2022 was further modified on 16 December 2022 through Law no. 334/2022. According to Law no. 334/2022 the total installed capacity of lignite and coal-fired electricity that will be phased out of service by 2032 at the latest is 4,920 MW, of which 3,780 MW by the end of 2025.

The energy capacities based on coal and lignite remaining available on 31 December 2021 are gradually taken out of operation and can be transferred to the technical reserve at the disposal of the national energy dispatcher, as follows:

a) by the end of 2022, 660 MW of lignite-based electricity production capacity;
b) by the end of 2025, another 1,425 MW of remaining lignite-based electricity production capacities;
c) until the end of 2032 at the latest, additional electricity production capacities based on lignite and coal of 1,140 MW.

Windfall tax

In the context of high energy price, the electricity sector was subject to several forms of windfall taxation throughout 2022. Initially, between 1 November 2021 and 31 March 2022, Law no. 259/2021 introduced for electricity producers the taxation at an 80% rate of the additional revenues resulting from the difference between the average monthly selling price and RON 450 per MWh.

Subsequently, GEO no. 27/2022 extended the timeline of the windfall tax until 31 March 2023 while keeping the 80% tax rate and the RON 450/MWh reference rate unchanged.

Starting 1 September 2022, GEO no. 119/2022 extended the timeline for the windfall tax until 31 August 2023, increased the windfall taxation rate on electricity producers to 100% (from 80% previously) and broadened the scope of the windfall tax to electricity and gas traders on the wholesale market and to import/ export and intra-EU electricity transactions.

Law no. 357/2022 for the approval of GEO no. 119/2022, which entered into force on 16 December 2022, further extended the application of the windfall taxation until 31 March 2025.

a) Electricity producers

For electricity producers, the monthly additional revenues subject to the windfall taxation are calculated based on the average realised 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, etc.). Starting with 1 January 2023, in the computation of the average price the costs with electricity purchased for imbalances is limited to only 5% of the value of the production sold.

Cogeneration plants supplying public heating services and production capacities commissioned after 1 April 2022 are exempted from the windfall taxation.

b) Electricity traders - limitation of profits to 2% for trading activities

Starting with 1 September 2022 electricity and natural gas producing entities, aggregated electricity producing entities, electricity and natural gas traders, electricity and natural gas suppliers and independent electricity aggregators have the obligation to pay a contribution to the Fund for Energy Transition for trading activities. Based on the formula for calculating the contribution to the Fund for Energy Transition, the profit resulting from trading activities is capped at 2%.

Caps for end-consumers prices

Throughout 2022, the Government implemented several support schemes and price caps at the level of electricity and gas end-consumers, key legislation pieces being represented by GEO no. 118/2021 related to the compensation scheme for consumption of electricity and natural gas for the cold season 2021-2022 (i.e. between 1 November 2021 and 31 March 2022), Law no. 259/2021 for the approval of GEO no. 118/2021 and GEO no. 3/2022 which further amended GEO no. 118/2021.

Starting with 1 April 2022, the price caps at the level of electricity and gas end-consumers were implemented through GEO no. 27/2022 which was subsequently amended by several normative acts, most notably by GEO no. 119/2022 which extended the duration of the price caps at the level of electricity and gas end-consumers from 31 March 2023 until 31 August 2023 and Law no. 357/2022 for the approval of GEO no. 119/2022 which among other adjustments further extended the duration of price-capping measures until 31 March 2025.

Between 1 January 2023 and 31 March 2025 the following price caps apply for the end-consumers:

Electricity supply	Maximum invoiced price (VAT included)
Households (monthly consumption less than 100 KWh and households in other special circumstances specified by the law)	RON 0.68 / KWh
Households (monthly consumption less than 255 KWh)	RON 0.80 / KWh
Households (monthly consumption between 255 KWh and 300 KWh)	RON 0.80/ KWh for the first 255 KWh and RON 1.3 / KWh for the rest
Households (monthly consumption above 300 KWh)	RON 1.0 / kWh
Non-household consumers1	RON 1.0/ KWh for 85% of consumption and up to RON 1.3/ KWh for the rest of monthly consumption
Public and private hospitals as defined by Law no. 95/2006	RON 1.0 / KWh
Other household and non-household consumers not covered above	RON 1.3 / KWh
Gas supply	Maximum invoiced price (VAT included)
Households	RON 0.31 / KWh
Non-household consumers with an annual consumption of up to 50.000 MWh and heat producers	RON 0.37 / KWh

Source: Law no. 357/2022

Includes SMEs, certain regional public utility service providers and public authorities, Bucharest Underground service Metrorex, airports under the Ministry of Transport, companies in the food sector, agriculture and pisciculture (NACE Code 01 and 03).

Based on the existing legislation, the 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.

As an exception, based on Law no. 357/2022, in case of electricity producers who are transferring electricity from the production portfolio to the supply portfolio the capped price is either the contractual price in case it is lower than the price caps or the maximum price cap for each category of consumers.

The value resulting as a product between the quantity of electricity billed to final customers, beneficiaries of the support scheme established by the Government, and the positive difference between average purchase price of active electricity recorded by electricity suppliers and the value of the active electricity invoiced to end-consumers by the same electricity suppliers is compensated to suppliers from the state budget.

According to GEO no. 119/2022, the maximum weighted average price of electricity used by ANRE to calculate the amounts compensated from the State Budget and paid to electricity suppliers was RON 1,300/MWh, subsequently lowered through Law no. 206/2023 to RON 900/MWh as of 14 July 2023.

Regulated domestic wholesale gas price for natural gas producers

Based on the provisions of GEO no. 27/2022 as subsequently amended natural gas producers have been obliged to sell part of their production at regulated prices.

According to the latest legislative provisions enacted through GEO no. 119/2022 and Law no. 357/2022 in the period 1 September 2022 – 31 March 2025, natural gas producers have the obligation to sell at a price of RON 150/MWh, the volumes of natural gas used for the production of thermal energy in the cogeneration plants and in the thermal power plants for population consumption.

Also, for the period 1 April 2023 – 31 March 2025, natural gas producers have the obligation to sell at a price of RON 150/MWh, the necessary quantities of natural gas resulting from the current domestic production activity to the transport and system operator Transgaz and to the gas distribution operators in order to cover 75% of the gas quantity for technological consumption.

For the household and heating producers' volumes, the producers are exempt from the payment of the windfall tax.

The centralized electricity acquisition mechanism

Through GEO no. 153/2022, adopted on 11 November 2022, the Government introduced from 1 January 2023 until 31 March 2025 the centralised electricity acquisition mechanism at the regulated price of RON 450/MWh.

According to GEO no. 153/2022, the electricity producers in scope of the regulation would have to sell based on an annual and monthly centralised acquisition mechanism the available production to the electricity and natural gas market operator OPCOM at the above-mentioned regulated price. In the same time, OPCOM would sell at the same price of RON 450/MWh the electricity purchased through the centralised acquisition mechanism to the supply companies who have end-consumer portfolios and to the electricity transport operator Transelectrica and to the electricity distribution operators for covering their grid losses. The electricity producers from renewable sources benefiting from support schemes such as wind and solar, the cogeneration plants and the production capacities commissioned after 1 April 2022 are exempted from the obligation to sell to OPCOM.

Measures regarding sale of energy to Republic of Moldova

Government issued GEO no. 138/2022 amending GEO no. 119/2022 by temporary introducing the requirement to conclude bilateral contracts, within the limits of available quantities, giving priority to traders/ suppliers appointed by to the Government of the Republic of Moldova at a set price of RON 450/MWh.

Regulated transport and distribution tariffs

According to the provisions of GEO no. 119/2022, as subsequently amended by Law no. 357/2022, for licensed economic operators, providers of electricity and natural gas transport and distribution services, the additional costs of purchasing electricity and natural gas, made between 1 January 2022 and 31 August 2025, in order to cover own technological consumption and, respectively, technological consumption, compared to the costs included in the regulated tariffs, are capitalised quarterly. The capitalised costs are recognised in the regulated tariffs in compliance with the cost recognition criteria provided in the ANRE methodologies.

Capitalised costs shall be amortised over a period of 5 years from the date of capitalisation and are remunerated with 50% of the RRR approved by the ANRE, applicable during the amortisation period of the respective costs and recognised as a distinct component. The resulting assets are recognised in the accounting records and in the annual financial statements of the distribution operators, according to the instructions developed by the Ministry of Finance.

On 19 October 2022, ANRE's methodology for capitalising the cost difference related to the own technological consumption for the period 2022-2023 was published in the Official Gazette of Romania.

Other regulations

According to ANRE Order no. 1/ 20 January 2021 and Order no. 3/ 20 January 2021, starting with 1 February 2021, the regulator allows the following, until the 4th regulatory period ends (2019 - 2023), for electricity and gas distribution companies:

to add 1% incentive above the current level of RRR for newly employed assets;
to add an incentive of 2% to the current level of RRR for investments fully or partially financed through EU grants.

ANRE Order no. 79/4 July 2023 introduces the year 2024 as a transition period from the fourth to the fifth regulatory period, which starts in 2025.

The Fund is allowed to buy back daily up to 25% of the average daily volume of the Fund's traded 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 duration of the 14th buy-back programme is 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2023.

Tender Offer within the 14th buy-back programme

On 17 January 2023, the Fund submitted to the FSA an application for the endorsement of a tender offer to accelerate the 14th buy-back programme.

The daily execution of buy-backs for both shares on BVB and GDRs on LSE was suspended starting with 4 January 2023.

The Fund selected Swiss Capital SA together with Auerbach Grayson as agents and Swiss Capital SA 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 2 February 2023, 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 10 February to 13 March 2023.

On 13 March 2023, the Fund Manager announced the results of the tender offer: total subscriptions of 1,237,263,281 shares representing 549.895% of the offer (730,673,281 were subscribed in the form of shares and 506,590,000 shares in the form of GDRs, namely 10,131,800 GDRs).

Under the tender offer, the Fund repurchased 225,000,000 shares (132,875,150 in the form of shares and 92,124,850 shares in the form of GDRs, namely 1,842,497 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 14 March 2023, and the settlement/ payment date was 16 March 2023 for both shares and GDRs.

The daily execution of the 14th buy-back programme resumed on 14 March 2023 on BVB and on 15 March 2023 on 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 GSM.

As at 30 June 2023, 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 21 April 2023 Annual GSM, the shareholders approved the coverage of the negative reserves in amount of RON 230,576,693 related to the 12th buy-back programme using the other reserves set up for this purpose as per the decision taken in the 2022 Annual GSM.

The table below shows the movement of the negative reserves during the six-month period ended 30 June 2023:

During the 21 April 2023 Annual GSM, the Fund's Sole Director proposed, and shareholders approved the cancellation of the 549,019,085 treasury shares repurchased within the 13th buy-back programme and also the allocation of RON 908,845,064 from 2022 accounting profit to other reserves in order to be available for covering the related negative reserve.

The related negative reserve in amount of RON 908,845,064 (please see table above), is recorded only after all legal and regulatory steps related to the cancellation are completed (e.g. FSA endorsement, the registration to the Trade Registry). The coverage of this negative reserve will be subject to shareholders approval during the annual shareholders' meeting subsequent to the completion of all cancellation steps.

% Liquid assets less liabilities in NAV	6.9%	2.1%	6.0%

Source: Fund Manager calculations

Current accounts include also the cash blocked for distributions to shareholders

The liquid assets decreased at the end of the first quarter mainly as a result of the cash outflows for the Tender Offer within the 14th buy-back programme settled in March 2023.

The most important cash inflows in the second quarter are related to the collection of dividend receivables from portfolio companies (mainly Hidroelectrica SA), partially netted off by the dividend distribution of RON 0.05 per share with Payment date 6 June 2023.

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.

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.

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 2023 was 0.71% and including transaction related expenses this was 0.91% (30 June 2022: 1.01%; including transaction related expenses: 1.07%).

The Total Expense Ratio at 30 June 2023 represents the annualised expenses of the Fund based on the actual expenses incurred during the first six months of the year, divided by the period average NAV. Similarly to OCR, 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 2023 was 0.59% and including transaction related expenses this was 0.85% (30 June 2022: 0.74%; including transaction related expenses: 0.84%).

The differences in TER and OCR values at 30 June 2023 are as a result of the different calculation methods – TER is based on the expenses for the first six months of the year which are subsequently annualised, while OCR is based on the total actual expenses for the last 12 months to reporting date.

Both TER and OCR are lower at 30 June 2023 compared to 30 June 2022 as a result of lower total administration fees due to FTIS in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 (both base fee and distribution fee).

The total transaction costs recorded by the Fund are significantly higher in 2023 as a result of the costs related to the listing of Hidroelectrica SA .

Performance fees

According to the Management Agreement in force during the period 1 April 2020 – 31 March 2022, in certain conditions detailed below a Performance fee become payable by the Fund to the AIFM.

• 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 becomes payable (i.e. the Base Fee Rate becomes 65 basis points instead of 60 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 is equal to or below 15%, a further additional Base Fee Rate of 5 basis points per year becomes payable (i.e. the Base Fee Rate becomes 70 basis points instead of 60 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 15%/ 20% in certain trading days are detailed in the table below:

All amounts in million RON	H1 2023	H1 2022

Total NAV at the end of the period	13,008,003,659	16,327,273,801
% Total Performance fee in NAV	-	0.0166%

Statement of Financial Position

Source: Condensed interim IFRS financial statements of the Fund

The liquid assets of the Fund during H1 2023 included term deposits and current accounts. The liquid assets decreased by RON 118.7 million at 30 June 2023 compared to the end of 2022. The most significant decreases are related to the acquisition of treasury shares within the 14th buyback programme, including the tender offer settled in March 2023 (RON 603.7 million) and the dividends paid during the period (RON 241.5 million), which were partially offset by the dividends received from the portfolio companies (RON 786.7 million).

The net decrease in equity investments of RON 11,524.8 million during H1 2023 was mainly related to the reclassification of Hidroelectrica SA (RON 9.28 billion) and Enel holdings (RON 588.8 million) as non-current assets held for sale as well as to the fair value decrease of Hidroelectrica SA before the reclassification date (RON 1.87 billion).

The holding in Hidroelectrica SA was valued at expected IPO proceeds before the reclassification to non-current assets held for sale, therefore the fair value movement is presented as unrealised loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss as detailed in the section below.

Capital Expenditure

Capital expenditure comprises the value of the licenses, the implementation costs and the updates of the accounting and reporting software, net of the accumulated amortisation. During H1 2023 the Fund did not incur any capital expenditure cost.

Other (expenses)/income, net included mainly the net foreign exchange gain/(loss) and other operating income/(expenses)

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

Interest income arose from short term deposits held with banks.

The net unrealised loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss in H1 2023 was mainly generated by the changes in fair value of the unlisted portfolio. The decrease in fair value was mainly generated by the valuation decrease of the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (RON 1.87 billion), whereas the following companies recorded an increase in fair value: CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA (RON 115.1 million), Engie Romania SA (RON 49.6 million), CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime SA (RON 30.2 million) and Societatea Nationala a Sarii SA (RON 23.5 million).

Net gain from non-current assets held for sale valued at fair value through profit or loss of RON 61.2 million represents the fair value movement of the holdings in the Enel group companies following their reclassification to non-current assets held for sale on 31 March 2023.

Gross dividend income was mainly generated by the amounts recorded from Hidroelectrica SA (RON 867.4 million), Societatea Nationala a Sarii SA (RON 56.0 million) and CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA (RON 31.5 million).

Additional details on the administration fees for H1 2023 and comparatives are presented below:

Source: Condensed interim IFRS financial statements of the Fund

The decrease in the administration fees recognised in profit or loss in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022 was mainly due to:

the decrease in base fee rate as per the Management Agreement starting on 1 April 2022 compared to previous one (i.e. 0.45% vs. 0.6%);
the lower market capitalization of the Fund in H1 2023;
no performance fee applicable as per the Management Agreement starting on 1 April 2022.

The decrease in dividend distribution fee in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022 was as a result of the decrease in the annual dividend approved in 2023 (RON 0.05 per share) compared to the previous year (RON 0.1250 per share).

Risks and Uncertainties

The following section presents details of the main risks and uncertainties that might affect the activity of the Fund and its liquidity during the next six months:

Description of risk	Mitigating action
Market risk Changes in market prices and rates, such as security prices, changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates will affect the Fund's income or the value of its holdings.	The Fund implements market risk management techniques to manage and control market risk exposures, keeping them within acceptable levels, while optimising returns. The AIFM has an ongoing risk management framework in compliance with requirements of the AIFM Directive.
Security price risk and valuation risk
Fluctuations in the value of a security instrument as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused by factors specific to the issuer or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market, can negatively affect the Fund's income or value of its holdings. Securities without a readily available market price, such as the Fund's unlisted holdings, are exposed to uncertainties coming from the valuation of the securities prices, from factors such as the choice of valuation model, parameter uncertainty and timeliness of parameter estimates.	Diversification across securities and industries is the primary technique for mitigating equity price risk. All potential investments undergo a thorough due diligence process. Portfolio management reviews the risk/ return profiles of portfolio assets on a regular basis. A detailed pricing policy ensures adequate valuation of the unlisted holdings. Valuations performed by the external service providers are reviewed by Franklin Templeton's Fair Valuation Committee.
Dilution risk Share capital changes in state owned companies where the Fund holds a minority position can result in a reduced valuation, legal action, and loss for the Fund.	Dilution risk based on unjustified economic inputs can be detrimental to a company's value. Where it is quantifiable, dilution risk is therefore considered in the companies' valuations. The portfolio management team, investor relations and legal teams are actively involved in all corporate actions involving the Fund's holdings. Fundamental analysis, investor communication and legal action are used to solidify the Fund's position. External legal and third-party counsel is used where beneficial.
Sector concentration risk Large portfolio exposure to a specific industry sector or group of companies expose the Fund to concentration risk and can cause overall Fund performance to be negatively affected by the performance of a specific sector.	Diversification and concentration limits are set and monitored periodically. The companies in which the Fund holds equity instruments operate in different industries, however the Fund has concentrated exposures to the Energy sector. Regular review is performed assessing sector by sector risk and return contribution.
Corporate governance risk

Poorly managed companies in the Fund's portfolio can negatively affect the Fund's performance due to 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.

Description of risk	Mitigating action
People Risk The ability of the Fund to achieve its objectives is dependent upon the expertise of the Investment Manager and its ability to attract and retain suitable staff.	Fund Management and the Board of Nominees ensure that the principal members of the management team are suitably incentivised, participate in strategic leader programmes and monitor key succession planning metrics. The Board discusses this risk regularly with the Fund Manager.
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.	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
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.	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 behaviour. Failure or breach of information technology systems and security may entail risk of financial loss, disruption to operations or damage to	The Fund's objective in managing operational risk is to maintain a proper balance between limitation of financial losses and damage to the Fund's reputation with the overall cost effectiveness, avoiding control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity. The Fund has in place an operational monitoring system, documented through policies and procedures, which ensures escalation and remediation of potential operational issues.

1. General information

Fondul Proprietatea SA (referred to as "Fondul Proprietatea" or "the Fund") was incorporated as a joint stock company, undertaking for collective investment, in the form of a closed end investment company, based on 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, Buzesti Street, 7th Floor, District 1, Bucharest.

Starting 1 April 2016, Fondul Proprietatea is an alternative investment fund as defined by the Directive 2011/61/EU ("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 intended to 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. 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 Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive 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 and subsequently amended during 15 November 2022 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, under ISIN number ROFPTAACNOR5 with the market symbol "FP".

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 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 2022, prepared in accordance with IFRS. These condensed interim financial statements are available starting with 31 August 2023, 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 2023 and determined that it 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 equity-linked 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 to 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, non-current assets held for sale 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.

(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)

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 2023 were as follows: 4.9634 RON/EUR, 4.5750 RON/USD and 5.7822 RON/GBP (30 June 2022: 4.9454 RON/EUR, 4.7424 RON/USD and 5.7525 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 4 Financial assets and financial liabilities;
Note 14 Deferred tax;
Note 16 Equity investments;
Note 17 Non-current assets held for sale;
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 or 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 2023, the Fund's Sole Director performed a periodic analysis of the multiples values of publicly traded peer companies and of the portfolio companies' financial information.

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 2022 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

The table below presents the fair value amount and hierarchy of financial instruments carried at amortised cost as at 30 June 2023 and as at 31 December 2022:

30 June 2023	Amortised cost	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total

Valuation process

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 Fund's AIFM 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 the current context in the global financial markets. 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 valuation reports were prepared as at 31 October 2022 or 31 May 2023 (for 30 June 2022: 31 October 2021 or 31 May 2022), based on the significance of the holding and the financial information available for the companies under valuation at the respective dates.

Also, following the signing on 19 April 2023 of the Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") between the Fund, as seller, and Public Power Corporation SA, as purchaser, for the sale of all the equity stakes held by the Fund in E-Distributie Muntenia SA, Enel Energie Muntenia SA, E-Distributie Dobrogea SA, E-Distributie Banat SA, and Enel Energie SA, in exchange for a total consideration of RON 650,000,000, the Fund update the valuation of these holdings accordingly.

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.

(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)

4. Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

Valuation process (continued)

Considering the economic uncertainties, the risks and the 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 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.

The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 30 June 2023 was prepared as follows:

82.8% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined by applying either IPO estimated subscription price or agreed upon contractual price;
16.1% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation report updated with the assistance of the external valuation services provider as at 31 May 2023;
0.8% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation report updated with the assistance of the external valuation services provider as at 31 October 2022 incorporating the impact of any significant corporate action that took place until 31 December 2022;
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.

As at 30 June 2023, the fair value for 4.3% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2022: for 90% 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 12.4% of the Level 3 equity investments (31 December 2022: for almost 10% of the Level 3 equity investments) was determined by applying the income approach using the discounted cash flow method.

(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)

4. Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

Valuation process Financial assets measured at fair value – Level 3 (continued)

A significant change occurred in the valuation technique for the following companies: Hidroelectrica SA, E-Distributie Banat SA, E-Distributie Muntenia SA, E-Distributie Dobrogea SA, ENEL Energie SA, ENEL Energie Muntenia SA as they were valued at 30 June 2023 based on either IPO estimated subscription price or agreed upon contractual price based on signed Sales and Purchase Agreement.

The valuation for the Level 3 equity investments as at 31 December 2022 was prepared as follows:

99.7% of the fair value of Level 3 equity investments was determined based on the valuation report updated with the assistance of the external valuation services provider as at 31 October 2022 incorporating the impact of any significant corporate action that took place until 31 December 2022;
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.

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.

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.

Valuation process Financial assets measured at fair value – Level 3 (continued)

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).

The following tables set out information about the significant unobservable inputs used at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 in measuring equity instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Listed illiquid equity instruments	32,430,719	Bucharest Stock Exchange reference price	These shares are traded infrequently and have little price transparency. 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.

Total	(1,657,470,798)	61,200,000	3,295,329,845

The unrealised gain from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 was mainly generated by the change in fair value for the holdings in CN Aeroporturi Bucuresti SA (unrealised gain of RON 115,100,000), Engie Romania SA (unrealised gain of RON 49,600,000), CN Administratia Porturilor Maritime SA (unrealised gain of RON 30,200,000) and Societatea Nationala a Sarii SA (unrealised gain of RON 23,500,000).

The unrealised gain from non-current assets held for sale valued at fair value through profit or loss for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 was generated by the change in fair value for the holdings in E-Distributie Muntenia SA (unrealised gain of RON 39,601,978) and Enel Energie Muntenia SA (unrealised gain of RON 21,599,628).

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 loss from equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 was generated by the negative change in fair value for the holding in Hidroelectrica SA (unrealised loss of RON 1,870,266,600) following the change in valuation method from fair value based on valuation report to fair value based on estimated IPO subscription price.

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 dividend income was subject to 8% Romanian withholding tax during the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 and subject to 5% Romanian withholding tax during the six-month period ended 30 June 2022. 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. 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 ongoing 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 2023 a total amount of RON 87,109,081 represented special cash distributions (six-month period ended 30 June 2022: RON 199,798,481).

Please see the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, prepared in accordance with IFRS for further details regarding the sale of the Fund's entire holding in this company.

As at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 there is no income tax due or to be recovered from the State Budget by the Fund. Please see Note 14 Deferred tax for details regarding the deferred tax computation and recognition.

(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)

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 2023 and 30 June 2022, none of the Fund's issued shares or other instruments had dilutive effect, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

	6 months ended	6 months ended
	30 June 2023	30 June 2022
(Loss)/Profit for the period	(680,268,878)	4,129,747,178

Such payments are subject to a general statute of limitation, respectively the shareholders may request the payments only within a three-year term starting with the distribution payment date, except for specific instances that are individually assessed.

14. Deferred tax

As at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 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 2023 and 31 December 2022, the net deferred tax position is nil as the Fund did not recognise any deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability.

As at 31 December 2022 the unused fiscal loss carried forward amounts to RON 717,393,241 out of which RON 500,524,785 will expire on 31 December 2027 and RON 216,868,456 will expire on 31 December 2029.

During the year ended 31 December 2022, the share capital of the Fund decreased by RON 101,073,312 following the cancellation on 19 October 2022 of 194,371,754 treasury shares acquired by the Fund within the twelfth buyback programme.

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

	30 June 2023	31 December 2022
Number of shares in issue	6,217,825,213	6,217,825,213

(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)

19. Shareholder' equity (continued)

(b) Other reserves (continued)

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 2023 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 held on 21 April 2023 the shareholders approved that the amount of RON 230,576,693, which was allocated to other reserves based on the 20 April 2022 GSM, be used to cover the negative reserve generated from the cancellation of shares acquired during 2021 through the twelfth buy-back programme. During the GSM held on 21 April 2023, the Fund's shareholders also approved the allocation to other reserves of an amount of RON 908,845,064 from the 2022 net audited accounting profit to be used for covering the negative reserves estimated to arise in 2023 from the cancellation of treasury shares acquired during 2022 through the thirteenth 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 2023 and 30 June 2022.

During the 21 April 2023 meeting, the shareholders also approved the decrease of the legal reserve of Fondul Proprietatea by RON 20,214,661.57 from RON 666,868,485 representing 20.63% of the share capital to RON 646,653,823 representing 20.00% of the share capital. Following the decrease, the corresponding amount was transferred to retained earnings and remains available for future use by shareholders.

(c) Treasury shares

The table below summarises the details regarding the fourteenth buy-back programme, respectively the buy-back programme carried during 2023:

(d) Dividend distribution

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 had 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.

During the 21 April 2023 General Shareholders Meeting, the Fund's shareholders approved the distribution of a gross dividend of RON 0.05 per share from 2022 financial year profit. The shareholders registered in the shareholders' registry with the Central Depositary on 12 May 2023 had the right to receive a gross dividend of RON 0.05 per share, proportionally with their participation in the paid in share capital of the Fund. The payment started on 6 June 2023.

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.

(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)

20. Contingencies

(a) Litigations

At 30 June 2023, 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. 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 filed the second appeal which was rejected by the High Court of Cassation and Justice on 1 April 2021.

The Fund has initiated legal actions against World Trade Center Bucharest SA and the Ministry of Finance for recovering the amounts, which are pending with the Court.

(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:

(all amounts are in RON unless otherwise stated)

20. Contingencies (continued)

(b) Other contingencies (continued)

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 the 60 days period expires, the share capital will increase with the value of paid-up shares (Romanian State in kind contribution being already considered completed);
If the Fund would not subscribe, the unsubscribed shares would be cancelled and Fondul Proprietatea 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. 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.

In the litigation related to the claim for annulment of the aforementioned GSM, on 25 May 2023, Ilfov Court (Tribunalul Ilfov) dismissed the Fund's claim as unfounded. The Court's decision is not final. The Fund filed the appeal against this decision.

Considering the above, the dilution risk was assessed as not significant and thus no additional adjustments were applied to the valuation of the company for 30 June 2023. 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.
