Notes to the Financial Statements

1. General Information

The parent company of the MOTOR OIL Group (the Group) is the entity under the trade name "Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A." (the Company), which is registered in Greece as a public company (Societe Anonyme) according to the provisions of Company Law 2190/1920, with headquarters in Maroussi of Attica, 12Α Irodou Attikou street, 151 24. The Group operates in the oil sector with its main activities being oil refining and oil products trading.

Major shareholders of the Company are "Petroventure Holdings Limited" holding 40% and "Doson Investments Company" holding 5.6%.

These financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Amounts in these financial statements are expressed in € 000's unless otherwise indicated. Any difference up to €1,000 is due to rounding.

As at 30 September 2019 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 2,315 and 1,292 respectively (30/9/2018: Group: 2,151 persons, Company: 1,249 persons).

2. Basis of Financial Statements Preparation & Adoption of New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

2.1 Basis of preparation

The interim condensed financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, 'Interim financial reporting' and as such do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. In this context, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases that is effective as of 1 January 2019. The impact of the adoption of the aforementioned standard and the new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2.2 below. Several new and revised accounting standards and interpretations, amendments to standards and interpretations applicable either in the current or in the forthcoming fiscal years including their potential impact on the interim condensed financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.3.

2.2 Changes in accounting policies

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. The new lease standard applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether the use of an identified asset is controlled by the customer. It supersedes the following Standards and Interpretations:

  • IAS 17 Leases;
  • IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease;
  • SIC-15 Operating Leases—Incentives; and
  • SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to lessee accounting in the sense that it removes the distinction between operating and finance leases under IAS 17 and requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the IFRS 16 lessor accounting requirements remain largely unchanged from IAS 17, and continue to require a lessor to classify a lease either as an operating lease or a finance lease. However, under IFRS 16, an intermediate lessor is required to classify the sublease as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease and not by reference to the underlying asset. In addition, IFRS 16 provides guidance on the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. Extensive disclosures are also required by the new Standard.

The Group adopted IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. All modifications made at the date of transition to IFRS 16 were recognized as adjustments in the opening balances of the respective captions of the Group's statement of financial position (Note 2.2.1) as of 1 January 2019 without restating the comparative figures.

2.2.1 Impact of adoption of IFRS 16

Under the provisions of IAS 17, the Group classified each of its leases (as a lessee) at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Group applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group has opted to recognize a lease expense on a straight-line basis for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.

The Group has not made use of the practical expedient available on transition to IFRS 16 not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease and related guidance in IFRS 16 has been applied to all lease contracts that were effective as of 1 January 2019. The reassessment did not change significantly the scope of the contracts that meet the definition of a lease for the Group. In applying IFRS 16, the Group also elected to use the following practical expedients available by the standard at the date of initial application: (a) the exclusion of initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset, (b) reliance on the assessment made before the date of initial application on whether leases are onerous by applying the provisions of IAS 37 and (c) the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

After excluding the short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group recognized a right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for all leases previously classified as operating. The right-of-use assets were recognized based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for prepayments previously recognized. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. For leases previously classified as finance, the Group recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application.

The effect of adoption IFRS 16 as at 1 January 2019 (increase / (decrease)) is as follows:

(In 000's Euros) Ref. GROUP COMPANY

i. The carrying amount of the assets under previously classified finance leases and the corresponding finance lease liabilities were reclassified from the captions "Property, Plant & Equipment" and "Borrowings" respectively to the captions "Right-of-use assets" and "Lease liabilities".

  • ii. The application of IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
  • iii. The carrying amount of those previously recognized lease prepayments was reclassified from the captions "Other non-current assets" and "Trade & other receivables" respectively to the caption "Right-of-use assets".

The reconciliation schedule between the operating lease commitments disclosed in the Group's annual financial statements as of 31 December 2018 and the lease liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position as of 1 January 2019 is presented in the following table:

2.2.2 Revised accounting policies

The Group as a lessee

The Group assesses whether a contact is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. Accordingly, it recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the leases. If this rate cannot readily be determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payment included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

  • fixed lease payment (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;
  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
  • the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under the residual value guarantees;
  • the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:

  • the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
  • the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is measured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.
  • a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case, the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The right-of-use asset comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired.

Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognized and measured under IAS 37. The costs are included in the related right-of-use asset. The Group did not incur any such costs during the periods presented.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the lease commencement date.

The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occur and are included in the caption "Other operating income / (expenses)" in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

As permitted by IFRS 16, the Group applied the practical expedient according to which a lessee is not required to separate non-lease components, and as such, it accounts for any lease and associated nonlease components as a single arrangement.

The Group as a lessor

Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two separate contracts. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the Group's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to reporting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

When a contract includes lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component.

2.3 New standards, interpretations and amendments

New standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations have been issued, which are effective for accounting periods starting on or after January 1st, 2019. Those which are expected to have an impact on the Group are listed in the following paragraphs.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments"

The interpretation sets out to determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12 (Income Taxes). The Interpretation requires from an entity to assess the probability that the relevant authority will accept each tax treatment (or group of tax treatments) that it used or plans to use in its income tax filing.

In case the entity concludes that it is most probable that a particular tax treatment will be accepted from the relevant authority, it has to determine the relevant tax effect in accordance with the tax treatment included in its income tax filings.

In case the entity concludes that it is not highly probable that a particular tax treatment will be accepted, it has to use the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when determining the relevant tax effect.

The decision should be based on which method provides better predictions of the resolution of the uncertainty.

The interpretation does not have significant impact on the financial position and / or the financial performance of the Group and the Company.

IAS 19 (Amendment) "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement"

The Amendments to IAS 19 clarify that in case a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement. In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling. The amendment does not have significant impact on the financial position and / or the financial performance of the Group and the Company.

IAS 28 (Amendment) "Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures"

The amendment clarifies that an entity applies IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. Detailed amendments to the initial IAS text are provided. The amendment does not have significant impact on the financial position and / or the financial performance of the Group and the Company

Amendments to standards being part of the annual improvement program of 2017 of the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) 2015 – 2017 Cycle.

The following amendments describe the most important changes brought to the IFRS as a result of the annual improvement program of the IASB published in December 2017. The amendments have been endorsed by the E.U. with an effective date of January 1st, 2019.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements"

The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business.

The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, it does not remeasures previously held interests in that business.

IAS 12 "Income Taxes"

The amendment clarifies that an entity must recognize all income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity, depending on where the entity recognized the originating transaction or event that generated the distributable profits giving rise to the dividend.

IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs"

The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that outstanding amount becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally.

Amendments effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2020

The following amendments were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2020. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRS 3 Business Combinations - (issued on 22 October 2018)

In October 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued Definition of a "Business" (Amendments to IFRS 3).

The proposed amendments are intended to provide entities with clearer application guidance to help distinguish between a business and a group of assets in the process of determining the nature of the activities and assets acquired.

The amendments to IFRS 3 are effective as of January 1st 2020 and must be applied to transactions that are either business combinations or asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2020, Consequently, entities do not have to revisit such transactions that occurred in prior periods. Earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material - (issued on 31 October 2018)

In October 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements) and IAS 8 (Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors) (the amendments) to align the definition of 'material' across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition.

The new definition states that "information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity."

The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. An entity will need to assess whether the information, either individually or in combination with other information, is material in the context of the financial statements.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2020 while earlier application is permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - (Issued on 26 September 2019)

In September 2019, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published 'Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7)' as a reaction to the potential effects the IBOR reform could have on financial reporting.

The amendments published deal with issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative interest rate and address the implications for specific hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement), which require forward-looking analysis.

There are also amendments to IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures) regarding additional disclosures around uncertainty arising from the interest rate benchmark reform.

The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position and / or the financial performance of the Group and the Company.

The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2020 with earlier application permitted whilst they have not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

Based on historical information of the Company and the Group, the percentage of quarterly sales volume varies from 26% to 28% on annual sales volume and thus there is no material seasonality on the total sales volume.

5. Changes in Inventories / Cost of Sales

It is noted that inventories are valued at each Statement of Financial Position date at the lower of cost and net realizable value. For the current and previous period certain inventories were valued at their net realizable value resulting in the following charges to the Statement of Comprehensive Income (cost of sales) for the Group, € 8,476 thousand for 1/1–30/9/2019 whereas during the prior period 1/1-30/9/2018 there was a charge of € 472 thousand.

The charge per inventory category is as follows:

(In 000's Euros) 1/1-30/9/2019 1/1-30/9/2018
Product 6,431 0
Merchandize 2,045 0
Raw Material 0 472
Total 8,476 472

The total cost of inventories recognized as an expense during the current and prior year period for the Group was for 1/1–30/9/2019: € 6,437,309 thousand and for 1/1-30/9/2018: € 6,285,555 thousand (Company: 1/1–30/9/2019: € 4,862,352 thousand,1/1-30/9/2018: € 4,839,848 thousand).

14. Other Financial Assets

Other Financial assets comprise of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) that refer to unlisted equity securities which are not held for trading and which the group has irrevocably elected at initial recognition (transition) to recognise in this category.

In the prior financial year, the group had designated those unlisted equity investments as available-for-sale since management intended to hold them for the medium to long-term. On disposal of these equity investments, any related balance deferred within the FVOCI reserve is reclassified to retained earnings.

These companies have activities in the sector of risk management and commodities hedging.

22. Contingent Liabilities/Commitments

There are legal claims by third parties against the Group amounting to approximately € 17.5 million (Company: approximately € 14.6 million). There are also legal claims of the Group against third parties amounting to approximately € 20.1 million (Company: approximately € 0.1 million).

No provision has been made for the above cases as their outcome is not expected to have a negative impact for the Group and/or the amount of the contingent liability cannot be currently estimated.

The Company and, consequently, the Group in order to complete its investments and its construction commitments, has entered into relevant contracts with construction companies, the non executed part of which, as at 30/9/2019, amounts to approximately € 14.0 million.

The Group companies have entered into contracts to purchase and sell crude oil and fuels, at current prices in line with the international market effective prices at the time the transaction takes place.

The total amount of letters of guarantee given as security for Group companies' liabilities as at 30/9/2019, amounted to € 425,775 thousand. The respective amount as at 31/12/2018 was € 358,033 thousand.

The total amount of letters of guarantee given as security for the Company's liabilities as at 30/9/2019, amounted to € 300,685 thousand. The respective amount as at 31/12/2018 was € 250,575 thousand.

Companies with Un-audited Fiscal Years

The tax authorities have not performed a tax audit on "CYTOP SA" for the fiscal years 2012 up to and including 2014 as well as for "KEPED SA" and "ELTEPE SA" for the fiscal years 2012 up to and including 2016. Thus, the tax liabilities for those companies have not yet finalized. At a future tax audit, it is probable for the tax authorities to impose additional tax which can not be estimated at this point of time. The Group though estimates that this will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.

For the fiscal years from 2013 to 2018 MOH group companies that were obliged for a tax compliance audit by the statutory auditors, have been audited by the appointed statutory auditors in accordance with L2190/1920, art. 82 of L 2238/1994 and art. 65A of L4174/13 and have issued the relevant Tax Compliance Certificates. In any case and according to Circ.1006/05.01.2016 these companies for which a Tax Compliance Certificate has been issued are not excluded from a further tax audit by the relevant tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may perform a tax audit as well. However, the group's management believes that the outcome of such future audits, should these be performed, will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group or the Company.

24. Management of Financial Risks

The Group's management has assessed the impacts on the management of financial risks that may arise due to the challenges of the general business environment in Greece. In general, as it is further discussed in the management of each financial risk below, the management of the Group does not consider that any negative developments in the Greek economy may materially affect the normal course of business of the Group and the Company.

a. Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that Group companies will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Group's management monitors the capital structure on a frequent basis.

As a part of this monitoring, the management reviews the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group's intention is to balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt. The Group through its 100% subsidiary "Motor Oil Finance plc" that is based in London, has already issued, since 2014, bond loans through the offering of Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and also maintains access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives. A possible exit of Great Britain from EU (Brexit) is not expected to have any impact in this subsidiary or in the Group.

Gearing Ratio

The Group's management reviews the capital structure on a frequent basis. As part of this review, the cost of capital is calculated and the risks associated with each class of capital are assessed.

The gearing ratio at the year end was as follows:

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury department provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk),

credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not enter into material financial instruments transactions, including derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The Treasury department reports on a frequent basis to the Group's management that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

c. Market risk

Due to the nature of its activities, the Group is exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (d) below), interest rates (see (e) below) and to the volatility of oil prices mainly due to the obligation to maintain certain level of inventories. The Company, in order to avoid significant fluctuations in the inventories valuation is trying, as a policy, to keep the inventories at the lowest possible levels. Furthermore, any change in the pertaining refinery margin, denominated in USD, affects the Company's gross margin. There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures these risks. Considering the conditions in the oil refining and trading sector, as well as the negative economic environment in general, we consider the course of the Group and the Company as satisfactory. The Group also through its subsidiaries in the Middle East, Great Britain, Cyprus and the Balkans, aims to exploit its endeavors at international level and to further strengthen its already solid exporting orientation. Moreover, the instability in the domestic market, is not expected to create problems to the normal course of business of the Company, which due to its strong exporting orientation generates adequate cash flows to cover the necessary imports of crude oil for the refinery activities. Furthermore, crude oil prices are determined in the international markets and are not affected so by any domestic market turbulences.

d. Foreign currency risk

Due to the use of the international Platt's prices in USD for oil purchases/sales, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations may arise for the Company's profit margins. The Company minimises foreign currency risks through physical hedging, mostly by monitoring assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to have borrowings with competitive interest rates and terms. Hence, the operating expenses and cash flows from financing activities are not materially affected by interest rate fluctuations.

f. Credit risk

The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well-known oil companies. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices. In addition, the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 30/9/2019 amounted to Euro 19.7 million. As far as receivables of the subsidiary sub groups "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL A.E." and "L.P.C. S.A." and the subsidiaries "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." and "NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide range of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is limited. The Group manages its domestic credit policy in a way to limit accordingly the credit days granted in the local market, in order to minimise any probable domestic credit risk.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and available bank loan facilities. In order to address such risks, the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and cash equivalents and ensures available bank loans facilities, maintaining also increased cash balances. Moreover, the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.

As at today the Company has available total credit facilities of approximately € 1.2 billion of which € 591 million have been withdrawn and total available bank Letter of Credit facilities up to approximately \$ 950 million.

Going Concern

The Group's management considers that the Company and the Group have adequate resources that ensure the smooth continuance of the business of the Company and the Group as a "Going Concern" in the foreseeable future.

25. Events after the Reporting Period

Within October 2019 the Group through its newly formed Cyprus-based company TEFORTO HOLDINGS LIMITED, 100% subsidiary of ELEKTROPARAGOGI SOUSSAKI S.A., acquired 85% of the share capital of STEFANER ENERGY S.A. The latter was founded in Greece in 2014 and possesses three power production licenses for a respective number of wind parks in Greece of a total capacity of 9.4 MW.

STEFANER ENERGY S.A. will proceed with the construction of the three above mentioned wind parks at an estimated total construction cost of Euro 12 million.

Besides the above, there are no events that could have a material impact on the Group's and Company's financial structure or operations that have occurred since 1/10/2019 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.
