Report issued by the Management of the INSTITUT IGH, JSC on reasons for exclusion of pre-emption rights to subscription of new shares that are issued through conversion of convertible bonds

The Company Management convened the General Assembly meeting for 26 April 2012 during which the Management and the Supervisory Board will propose the decision on an increase in share capital. At the time of submittal of this Report, the meeting has not as yet been held, and the voting results relating to proposed decisions can not realistically be anticipated.

Regardless of the proposed decision on an increase in share capital, and on possible increase in share capital of the Company, the Company intends to additionally strengthen its balance sheet by converting some of its short-term liabilities into long-term liabilities, and this through issuance of convertible bonds.

The Management and the Supervisory Board consider that by issuing convertible bonds, a greater interest of potential investors will be achieved, as these bonds, by their very nature, offer an additional right to conversion into shares.

As these are convertible bonds that give right to conversion into shares, which may eventually result in an increase in share capital, the pre-emption right during subscription of new shares can only be exercised by holders of convertible bonds that have fully been paid in and, at that, the pre-emption rights of other company shareholders are excluded in relation to subscription of new shares, because this is a specific instrument that is actually aimed at increasing the share capital.

Furthermore, because of the duration and costs of the procedure, the Management and the Supervisory Board consider it appropriate to propose, with regard to issuance of convertible bonds, the use of exemption from publication of Prospectus at public offerings as provided for in Article 351, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 3, of the Capital Market Act. At that the amount to be paid for subscription of convertible bonds by each investor shall be no less than € 50,000.00, to be paid in HRK equivalent of this amount, based on mean exchange rate of HNB (Croatian National Bank) prevailing on the date of payment for such subscription of bonds.

By means of proposed increase in share capital through issuance of new shares, which will be decided upon at the General Assembly meeting to be held on 26 April 2012, and by proposed issuance of convertible bonds, the Company will complete the process of its financial restructuring, and preconditions would thus be created for the new cycle of organic growth, and for continuous increase of profitability and added value for its shareholders.

INSTITUT IGH d.d. Jure Radić, Ph.D. CE General Manager

The Company Management's report on reasons for exclusion of pre-emption rights with regard to subscription of convertible bonds will not be voted on at the General Assembly, i.e. only note will be taken about submittal of the Management's report.

Securities will be issued as annuity bonds, which means that they involve serial depreciation, through semi-annual annuities.

Convertible bonds will entitle their holders-creditors to the payment of principal and fixed interest on principal, to be determined by the Company Management, subject to prior approval by the Supervisory Board.

The interest will be paid semi-annually throughout the bond duration period.

The annuities will be paid semi-annually, at the end of each period, starting from the third period. The issuer shall pay 70% of the principal over the first seven annuity payment periods, and this through equal annuity payments, while the last annuity payment will amount to 30% (pool factor 0.30) of the principal, and the bond holders will have the right to convert bonds into ordinary shares of the Company, which will be issued based on decision on the conditional increase of share capital.

The bond to share conversion rate will be defined by the Company Management at the time of issuance of shares. The conversion rate will be defined by using the share price of HRK 760.00 (for each share having nominal value of HRK 400.00) and the bond price at the day of conversion, which will be defined by the Company Management. The day of conversion will be 5 May 2017.

At that the amount to be paid for subscription of convertible bonds by each investor shall be no less than € 50,000.00, to be paid in HRK equivalent of this amount, based on mean exchange rate of HNB (Croatian National Bank) prevailing on the date of payment for such subscription of bonds. Consequently, in accordance with provisions contained in this Decision, the prospectus shall not be published for the issuance of bonds.

Article 7
