Ι. REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2017– PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION

At the end of the first half of 2017, the Greek economy finds itself at a crucial turning point as far as its return back on a growth path and the improvement in employment and investments are concerned.

In particular, after a prolonged period of recession and stagnation, the completion of the second review of the country's economic adjustment programme in June 2017 mitigates the risks for the Greek economy, bolsters investor confidence and contributes crucially to the improvement of the economic climate. However, the conditions with respect to the financing of the real economy remain adverse, in spite of the steadily lessening pressure on the banking system after 2015. The rate of return of deposits remains low, as the restrictions in fund transfers and the delays regarding the critical problem of the resolution of non-performing loans sustain a climate of scepticism among depositors.

On the international front, the mitigation of political risk in the EU during the first half of 2017 creates positive prospects for a strengthened performance by the European economies. At the opposite end, the widespread geopolitical instability, the UK's impending exit from the EU and the refugee crisis continue to be areas of concern.

2017 is a milestone year for MYTILINEOS, as the completion of the corporate transformation, which was announced in December 2106 and was completed in July, marked the evolution of MYTILINEOS Group into a new Company with a sound balance sheet and enhanced financial strength. The increased majority with which the corporate transformation was approved at the historic General Meetings of 1 June 2017, in combination with the fully successful issue of the common bond loan in June, which was oversubscribed and attracted the increased participation of private investors, demonstrate the market's confidence in the Company, which is now entering a new era.

Metallurgy and Mining Sector

After the lows of many years which had been observed in the first quarter of 2016, the prices for Aluminium followed an upward trend, which was continued during the first half of 2017.

More specifically, the average price for Aluminium in the LME stood at \$1,885/tn in the first half of 2017, up by approximately 22% relative to the previous year, while the premia for Aluminium products remained at the same levels with those of first half of 2016. The performance of the USD against other currencies was strengthened, with the Euro/USD parity standing at 1.08 for the first half of 2017, compared to 1.12 in the first half of 2016.

The sector's fundamentals remain strong, as demand in the first half of 2017 reached nearly 30 million tonnes, growing by 5.7% relative to the same period in 2016. On the production side, the progress of reforms in China remains a key driver of developments, through the limitation of aluminium production of aluminium without license as well as as because of the environmental protection requirements.

In this environment, MYTILINEOS remains committed to the strict control of costs with the implementation of its third cost optimization programme under the name "The Best".

EPC & Infrastructure Sector

Despite the continuing volatility of the external environment, the Business Unit EPC showed a positive performance during the reference period continuing the successful execution of the existing projects.

At the same time the dynamic entry in the energy market of the sub-Saharan Africa continued with the signature of another significant contract in Ghana, valued at USD 363 m. The contract, includes the engineering, procurement construction and commissioning of a new Combined Cycle Power Plant located in Tema, 16 miles east of Accra.

It should be noted that the backlog of the existing projects amounts up to € 1,12 bil. for the Group and € 727mio for the Company.

Power & Gas Sector

In the domestic energy market, demand for electricity remains at low levels, as it is negatively affected by the weak performance of the Greek economy. Demand for electricity grew by 3.4% in the first half of 2017 to reach 25.4 TWh, a development that was nevertheless also due to the climate conditions.

In terms of the generation mix, natural gas posted the strongest growth in the first half of 2017 (+36.4%), with its share in the generation mix rising to 28%, up by 21% from the previous year. The production of electricity from lignite-fired plants also increased, (+23.4%), with the lignite's share in the generation mix standing at 32%. In contrast, net imports

of electricity and generation from hydropower plants decreased by 35.% and 29.5%, respectively, with the total generation from RES-based plants remaining stable.

As a consequence of the above trend, the average System Marginal Price (SMP) grew to €53.1, up by +24.9% relative to the same period in 2016.

In this environment, in the first half of 2017 MYTILINEOS continued to strengthen its presence in both the wholesale and retail electricity markets. More specifically, the Company ranks first among all private suppliers, with a market share of 3.6%, expanded by 50% relative to the same period in 2016 At the same time, the generation of electricity by the Company's units grew by 6% to 2 million MWhrs for the first half of 2017, corresponding to 9.0% of domestic production.

The Group's policy is to monitor its performance on a month to month basis thus tracking on time and effectively the deviations from its goals and undertaking necessary actions. The group evaluates its financial performance using the following generally accepted Key Performance Indicators (KPI's).

-EBITDA (Operating Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization): The Group defines the «Group EBITDA» quantity as profits/losses before tax, itemized for financial and investment results; for total depreciation (of tangible and intangible fixed assets) as well as for the influence of specific factors, i.e. shares in the operational results of liaised bodies where these are engaged in business in any of the business sectors of the Group, as well as the influence of write-offs made in transactions with the above mentioned liaised bodies.

- ROCE (Return on Capital Employed): This index is derived by dividing profit before tax and financial results to the total capital employed by the Group, these being the sum of the Net Position; the sum of loans; and long - term forecasts.

- ROE (Return on Equity): This index is derived by dividing profit after tax by the Group's Net Position.

- EVA (Economic Value Added): This metric is derived by multiplying the total capital employed with the difference (ROCE – Capital Expenditure) and constitutes the amount by which the financial value if the company increases. To calculate the capital expenditure, the Group uses the WACC formula – « Weighted Cost of Capital».

The Weighted average cost of capital is calculated as, the quotient of Equity Capital to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and Debt) multiplied by the return on Equity* plus the quotient of Debt to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and Debt) multiplied by the return on Debt adjusted by the company tax rate (due to tax saving on interest paid).

$$
WACC = \frac{E}{E+D}r_E + \frac{D}{E+D}r_D(1-TC)
$$

Where E Equity Capital D Debt rE Return on equity rD Return on debt Tc Tax rate

The calculation of the indicator Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for the 1st half of 2017 sums to 5,84%.

*Return on Equity is calculated by utilizing the "Capital Asset Pricing Model" (CAPM) and is equal to risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium multiplied by beta coefficient that reveals the variability of the stock in relation to market fluctuations.

2017 2016
EBITDA 277.559 222.363
ROCE 12,43% 12,10%
ROE 11,18% 3,45%
EVA 147.231 205.562

The above indicators for the presented period (on an annualized basis) as well as for the previous year, are as follows:

II. Significant corporate events during the first half of the year

During the reporting period the company proceeded to the below decisions and actions:

  • On 21.07.2017, MYTILINEOS (under its identity as legal successor of METKA due to merger) announced that it has concluded an agreement with the General Authority for Electricity and Renewable Energy of Libya (GAEREL) to carry out the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a new power plant in Tobruk, Libya. The project, with total output of more than 500MW, includes the supply and installation of 3 General Electric GT13E2 gas turbines in open cycle configuration, together with all associated balance of plant equipment and a 220/66kV substation. The contract value for MYTILINEOS amounts to \$380 million. The contract is subject to final approval from the responsible state authorities in Libya, and will only become effective upon opening of an irrevocable letter of credit confirmed by 1st class international bank. The project will be carried out on a fasttrack schedule so that the first gas turbine will be ready to connect to the grid within 9 months from commencement, and the second and third gas turbines will be ready for connection within 10 and 11 months respectively. This is METKA's first major project in Libya and emphasizes the company's commitment towards supporting markets with critical needs for power. This is MYTILINEOS' first major project in Libya and emphasizes the company's commitment towards supporting markets with critical needs for power.
  • On 14.02.2017, MYTILINEOS (under its identity as legal successor of Aluminium of Greece due to merger) and General Electric signed a 10-year agreement, to implement global first-of-their-kind digital smelter solutions for AoG to enhance its aluminium smelting process and contribute to increased operational efficiency and productivity.
  • Following the BoD decisions of 23.03.2017, the AGM decisions of MYTILINEOS S.A. and METKA S.A of 01.06.2017 and AGM decisions of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE, PROTERGIA and PROTERGIA AGIOS NIKOLAOS POWER S.A of 06.06.2017 as well as the as the BoD Report on the merger in line with article 69 paragraph 4 of Law 2190/1920 and the article 4.1.4.1.3 of the Athens Exchange Rulebook, all the aforementioned companies have approved the corporate restructuring by absorption of METKA, ALUMINIUM OF GREECE, PROTERGIA and PROTERGIA AGIOS NIKOLAOS POWER S.A by MYTILINEOS.

It shall be noted that on 06.07.2017 , the merger was approved by the Ministry of Economy and Development.

Said corporate restructuring has no effect on the control of MYTILINEOS. On a Group level, the sole change is the conversion of METKA's non-controlling shareholders, to shareholders of the new entity.

On 23.06.2017, the completion of the Public Offer of the bonds of MYTILINEOS was announced. A total of 300.000 common, bearer bonds of the Company with a nominal value of €1.000 each (the Bonds) have been allocated and as a result capital of an amount of €300.000.000 has been raised. The total demand from investors that participated in the Public Offer was €740,8 m. The final yield has been set at 3,10%, the Bonds interest rate at 3,10% and the offer price of the Bonds at €1.000 each, namely 100% of the nominal value.

On 30.06.2017, MYTILINEOS (under its identity as legal successor of METKA due to merger) announced the signature of a new EPC contract with Early Power Limited (EPL), Consortium consisting of Endeavor Energy, a leading independent power development and generation company focused on Africa, Sage, a leading independent Ghanaian energy trading firm, and General Electric, for a new power plant in Ghana. The Bridge Power project (stage 1) will be executed through MYTILINEOS' 100% subsidiary Power Projects Limited, and its scope includes the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a 200 MW power project being fueled by LPG, Natural Gas and Diesel. This is MYTILINEO's third major project in Ghana and the contract value is approximately 363\$ million.

ΙΙΙ PROSPECTS – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2017

1. Prospects for the second half of 2017

Metallurgy and Mining Sector

In the Metallurgy and Mining sector, the growth rate of global aluminium demand is expected to remain strong during the second half of 2017, thus helping support aluminium prices.

The developments regarding the performance of emerging economies and especially of the Chinese economy, the energy costs, the evolution of the Euro/USD parity as well as a potential strengthening of protectionist policies are expected to be the key factors that will determine the developments in the sector in the months ahead.

The strong fundamentals, as these are reflected in the upward trend of Aluminium prices, and the Company's steadfast focus on the strict control of production costs, create the conditions for achieving a strong financial performance in the second half of 2017.

EPC & Infrastructure Sector

The Group adjusts its strategic planning by focusing on the development of its activities in markets with particular demands, where its prestige and know-how can generate significant added value.

Based on this strategy, the company will pursue the timely execution of existing projects and the signing of new contracts in targeted markets. Group will continue to implement its plan for the expansion and strengthening of its presence in the markets of Asia and Africa. Penetration in the market of Iran will remain an essential business objective for the company, with a view to exploiting the new opportunities in the energy infrastructure sector. At the same time, the Group will continue to implement photovoltaic projects, through its subsidiary METKA EGN.

Power & Gas Sector

In spite of the progress made during the last few years, the energy market is still in a transition stage and the achievement of the targets set for strengthening competition and for the effective opening up of the market will require the promotion of major regulatory changes.

With 1.3 GW of installed capacity currently in full operation, MYTILINEOS is firmly established as the largest independent energy producer and supplier in the country and has secured the critical size required in order to benefit the most from the expected full liberalisation of the domestic electricity market.

2. Risks & Uncertainties

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, cash flow risk and fair value interest-rate risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of commodity and financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the exposure to certain financial risks.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group Treasury operates as a cost and service centre and provides services to all business units within the Group, co-ordinates access to both domestic and international financial markets and manages the financial risks relating to the Group's operations.

Credit Risk

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counter party. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale customers.

Concerning trade accounts receivables, the Group is not exposed to significant credit risks as they mainly consist of a large, widespread customer base. However, the atypical conditions that dominate the Greek market and several other markets in Europe are forcing the Group to constantly monitor its business claims and also to adopt policies and practices to ensure that such claims are collected. By way of example, such policies and practices include insuring credits where possible; pre-collection of the value of product sold to a considerable degree; safeguarding claims by collateral loans on customer reserves; and receiving letters of guarantee.

To minimize credit risk on cash reserves and cash equivalents; in financial derivate contracts; as well as other short term financial products, the Group specifies certain limits to its exposure on each individual financial institution and only engages in transactions with creditworthy financial institutions of high credit rating.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is related with the Group's need for the sufficient financing of its operations and development. The relevant liquidity requirements are the subject of management through the meticulous monitoring of debts of long term financial liabilities and also of payments made on a daily basis.

The Group ensures that there is sufficient available credit facilities to be able to cover its short-term business needs, after the calculation of cash flows arising from the operation as well as cash and cash equivalents which are held. The funds for long-term liquidity needs ensured by a sufficient amount of loanable funds and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

Capital Control imposition in Greece

Regarding the capital control imposition there was no differentiation to what was stated on the Group's Annual Financial Report of 31/12/2016.

Price Risk

The Group's earnings are exposed to movements in the prices of the commodities it produces, which are determined by the international markets and the global demand and supply.

The Group is price risk from fluctuations in the prices of variables that determine either the sales and/or the cost of sales of the group entities (i.e. products' prices (LME), raw materials, other cost elements etc.). The Group's activities expose it to the fluctuations of the prices of Aluminium (AL), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb) as well as to Fuel Oil as a production cost.

Regarding price fluctuation of metals, the Group's policy is to minimize risk by using financial derivative instruments.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is activated in a global level and consequently is exposed to foreign exchange risk emanating mainly from the US dollar. This kind of risk mainly results from commercial transactions in foreign currency as well as net investments in foreign entities. For managing this type of risk, the Group Treasury Department enters into derivative or non derivative financial instruments with financial institutions on behalf and in the name of group companies.

At Group level, such financial instruments are considered to constitute compensation means for the exchange rate risk of specific assets, liabilities or future commercial transactions

Interest rate risk

The Group's assets that are exposed to interest rate fluctuation primarily concern cash and cash equivalents. The Group's policy as regards financial assets is to invest its cash in floated interest rates so as to maintain the necessary liquidity while achieving satisfactory return for its shareholders. In addition, for the totality of its bank borrowing, the Group uses

floating interest rate instruments. Depending on the level of liabilities in floating interest rate, the Group proceeds to the assessment of interest rate risk and when necessary examines the necessity to use interest bearing financial derivative instruments. The Group's policy consists in minimizing its exposure to interest bearing cash flow risk as regards longterm funding.

Other risks and uncertainties

a. Risk Factors

Mytilineos Group (the "Group") being active in three main business areas such as Metallurgy & Mining, Power & Gas and EPC & Infrastructure, faces a number of diversified risk factors. Therefore, its business, financial condition or results of operations may be impacted by such risk factors.

In addition to any other factors presented and discussed elsewhere in this report, the following are the main important factors that could cause the Group's actual results to differ materially from those expected in any projection.

Market risk

The global economic conditions remain generally highly cyclical. The Group is subject to cyclical fluctuations in LME prices, €/\$ parity, general economic, financial and credit conditions, and aluminium end-use markets.

The Group implemented a number of actions to hedge its exposure to market risk, improve its cost structure and secure liquidity.

Such actions mainly include:

  • Forward selling of Aluminium by use of several financial instruments.
  • Mitigation of its €/\$ parity exposure by use of derivative products.
  • Assessment and/or restructuring of its energy cost items.
  • Asset optimization and cost reduction programs.
  • Production process improvements.
  • Re-assessment of its credit policy and customer credit worthiness procedures.

Increase in the cost of raw materials or significant lag effects

The Group's operational results are influenced by the rising cost of raw materials like metallurgic coke, soda and other basic materials as well as by the cost of freights related to the transportation of the aforementioned materials.

The Group tries to negotiate and "lock" the main freight contracts with competitive terms. At the same time, the Group has implemented a new system of assessing the prices for the procurement of raw materials, while it also runs a continuous cost optimization and reduction program.

Moreover, the Group's operational results may be influenced by unfavorable conjuncture, when the drop in the price of cost items that are linked with the price of LME or the parity €/\$ is not enough to counterbalance the respective reduction in the price of LME or the US Dollar during the same period.

Availability of Greek Bauxites and market concentration

The Group for its Alumina operations is highly dependent on the availability of Greek Bauxites. By the operation of its own mines through its 100% subsidiary Delphi Distomon S.A., the Group covers almost the 38-40% of its requirements in Greek Bauxites. However, in the years to come there might be difficulties in the licensing of new sites and the exploration of new bauxite mines in Greece. Furthermore, the Greek bauxite market is already quite concentrated; therefore this fact along with a possibility of a further concentration could have a negative impact on the Group's input cost for Greek bauxite in the future. For these reasons the Group is continuously trying to negotiate long term bauxite contracts as well as joint ventures or strategic alliances with Greek miners.

Health, safety and environmental laws and regulations and cost / liabilities associated with such laws and regulations

The Group's activities fall under the laws and regulations that are relevant to health, safety and environmental protection. The compliance cost with such regulations involves, among others, either investments or the significant spending for actions relating to the safe management of industrial wastes and measures for remedying environmental damages.

Group's personnel is exposed to a series of hazards that can influence or threat, either directly or indirectly, their health and safety. In order for these risks to be addressed the Group has taken all the necessary actions, starting from estimating their possible consequences on the human capital and evaluating the need for corrective measures at work place environment.

Environmental issues within our responsibility might arise in the future in relation to our current facilities that we owned in the past or facilities where we conducted our operations even if the Management has not been or could not be aware of such issues up to date or these issues have not been present yet.

Moreover, the continuous application of Best Available Techniques for operational procedures and waste management as well as environment friendly use of fossil fuels (mainly Natural Gas), especially for Metallurgy and Energy business sectors, is not only a crucial factor of Group's business growth but also depicts Group's commitment towards environmental protection issues and sustainable management of natural resources.

Climate change, climate change legislation or regulations and greenhouse effects.

Semi-annual financial report for the period 1st January to 30th June 2017 14 Energy is a significant raw material relevant to the activities of our Group while it is considered that in the immediate future it shall be an important source of revenue as well. Moreover, the Group is active in the wider energy sector being involved in the construction of integrated energy projects (EPC). There is a widely spread belief that the consumption of the energy that is generated by fossil fuel constitutes one of the main factor contributing to the warming of our planet.

A continuously increasing number of governments, governmental bodies and committees have initiated or intend to pursue regulatory and legislative changes in order to deal with the potential risks of such phenomenon. As a result of the EU regulatory amendments, the Group's operating margins might be affected by the changes that could be put in place in its production facilities having increased emissions of greenhouses gases and in its facilities with high energy needs.

Given the width of the scope of such changes, the assessment of the eventual impact of the future legislation and legislative framework for the climate change, as well as of the European and international conventions and agreements is unclear. The Group might be obliged to undertake significant investments in the future in order to comply with the new, amended legislation and the new regulations.

Finally, the Group, as a result of an eventual deficit or surplus in terms of CO2 emission rights management and due to its large energy consumptions mainly because of the production of aluminum, might recognize significant cost or revenue in future.

On the other hand, due to anyone of the aforementioned legislative changes relating to the climate change, the Group might be given opportunities in the EPC & Infrastructure sector.

Failure of achieving the expected long term benefits from productivity and the cost reduction initiatives.

The Group has undertaken and will pursue initiatives relevant to productivity and cost reduction in order to improve the performance and reduce the overall production cost. All such actions may not be fulfilled or the entire estimated savings might not be achieved for various reasons beyond the Group's control.

Political and regulatory issues

The Group's activities in Greece relevant to energy remain regulated , in a significant degree, by the government and depend on political decisions or legal and regulatory framework matters. The developments within this environment, which could be translated into delays in the essential deregulation of the energy market, might affect the activities of the Group and its future results as well as the value of its energy assets or assets, the operation of which requires an important consumption of energy products.

Moreover, the Group may be affected by adverse political developments or developments relating to the regulatory framework that could be connected to its EPC activities in areas outside Greece and mainly in countries with political instability.

IT Security

Our business operations are supported by different software and data processing systems. However, we cannot fully exclude an eventual non availability of such systems or violation in terms of data safety.

We mitigate such risks by applying high standards and taking measures in order to obtain and ensure their availability, reliability, confidentiality and traceability. In addition and in order to control eventual hazards we regularly invest in the upgrading of software, hardware and equipment and we conduct regular internal and external audits supported by international consulting groups and we apply continuing progress procedures.

EPC & Infrastructure related risks

The Group through its activity on the EPC & Infrastructure sector, is contractually exposed to risks related to the design, engineering, procurement, construction and deliver of ready-to-operate energy facilities for an agreed price. Said risks involve mainly cost overruns associated with:

  • unanticipated increases in the costs of raw materials and equipment,
  • equipment or mechanical failures,
  • unforeseen construction conditions,
  • delays caused by adverse weather conditions
  • performance failure or defaults by suppliers or subcontractors
  • additional works required as the customer changes its instructions or is unable to provide on time and on schedule the required information relating to the design or engineering of the project
  • unforeseen or unexpected changes relating to sociopolitical situations mainly in countries with political and governmental instability.

In cases were more resources in terms of time and expenses are required from the Group due to a client's fault, the Group negotiates a refund.

Unforeseen events

Unforeseen events, including natural disasters, acts of war or terrorist attacks, non-scheduled interruption of the production operation/ outage, interruption of supply or incapacity of the equipment and/or of the processes to meet the specifications may increase the cost and affect the Group's financial results. Moreover, the Group's insurance terms in force may not provide sufficient coverage for the entire damage generated by such events

Pendency of proceedings

The Group, has been involved in a number of cases against third parties, either as complainant or as respondent. The outcome of such cases may involve expenses or revenues that can significantly affect the results as well as the financial position of both the subsidiaries and the Group alike.

Organization and implementation of risk management

The Group determines risk as a set of uncertain and unpredictable situations that may affect all its activities, its business operation, its economic performance as well as the implementation of its strategy and the achievement of its goals. For this reason it has established a specific risk management approach in all its fields of activities where certain risks have been recognized as follows:

  • Identification and assessment of risk factors
  • Design of a risk management policy
  • Implementation and evaluation of risk policies

The Group has applied specific and complete processes for the Enterprise Risk Assessment and Management (ERM). All the senior executives are involved in a process of initial recognition and assessment of any kind of enterprise risk in order to enhance the role of the Executive Committees and BODs in respect of design and approval of specific actions on the basis of said ERM procedures.

With regard to Non-Financial Information, since 2010 the Group has introduced a specific Stakeholder engagement process for evaluating the materiality of the sustainability issues which are related to its activity sectors. This process, coupled with the prioritisation of these issues by the Group's subsidiaries, is at the core of the policy that the Group follows in preparing and disclosing its annual Sustainability Report.

The process for determining the material sustainability issues is an ongoing exercise that is constantly developed and improved. The purpose of this process is to highlight the issues that reflect the Group's significant environmental and social impacts and influence substantially the decisions of its Stakeholders.

By identifying and understanding the material sustainability issues, the Group formulates and develops its uniform business strategy and the latter's purposes, targets and social and environmental initiatives, while in parallel promoting Responsible Entrepreneurship across the entire range of its activities at the local, national and international level.

Last but not least the Group conducts regular internal audits to ensure the appropriate and effective implementation of the risk detection and assessment procedures as well as the management policy for such risks.

Internal Audit System

D. Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying separate and consolidated condensed statement of financial position of MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A. as of 30 June 2017 and the related separate and consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim financial information, which form an integral part of the six-month financial report of Law 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed financial statement in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and apply for interim financial information (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information has not been prepared in all material respects, in accordance to IAS 34.

Emphasis of matters

We would like to draw your attention to

1.Note 8.16 to the financial statements, making reference to the fact that on 26/10/2016, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued the decision lifting the First Instance General Court Decision as of October 8th 2014, in respect of the government grant provided by Greece to the MYTILINEOS S.A as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE S.A. The aforementioned decision referred the case back to the General Court so that the remaining reasons behind the appeal, previously omitted, should be examined. The appeal in question revives the contingent liability of the MYTILINEOS S.A to return the amount of €17,4 million plus interest to the Public Power Corporation S.A. – Hellas (PPC S.A.). MYTILINEOS S.A has submitted all the required statements regarding the procedures. The Management of MYTILINEOS S.A. estimates that the appeal will be reaccepted by the General Court and, therefore, no amounts will potentially outflow in order to settle the aforementioned contingent liability.

  1. Note 8.1 of the financial statements, making reference to the fact that the financial statements of the Company following the 6/7/2017 approval by the Ministry of Economy and Development of the merger of the companies "MYTILINEOS S.A - GROUP OF COMPANIES", "METKA S.A ", "ALUMINUM OF GREECE S.A ","PROTERGIA S.A" and PROTERGIA THERMOELEKTRIKI AGIOU NIKOLAOU S.A" by absorption of the second, third, fourth and fifth companies from the first, incorporate the assets and the liabilities of the merged companies, as well as to the accounting policy of incorporating these assets and liabilities.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of that matters.

Reference to other legal requirements

Based on our review, we concluded that the content of the six-month financial report, as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007, is consistent with the accompanying condensed interim financial information.

The merger of the companies Mytlineos, METKA, ALUMINIUM OF GREECE, Protergia and Protergia Thermo by absorption of the second, third, fourth and fifth company by the first one and the modification of the articles of association of the acquiring company has no effect on the companies' control as well as the final controlling company (Mytilineos SA – Mother Company) is the same company as before (par.B1 IFRS 3). Because of this the companies' transformation (merger) is considered to be a transaction among entities under the same control and for this it constitutes an exception of the application of IFRS 3.

The management complied with the provisions of paragraphs 10 to 12 of IFRS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changing in Accounting Estimates and Errors", which among others state that "In the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition, management shall use its judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant to the economic decision-making needs of user and reliable".

The company has chosen the merger accounting method or pooling of interests method. Under this method the Statements of Financial Positions of the merging companies are aggregated, by the use of the book values of the assets and liabilities without further calculation of their fair value.

Under the merger accounting method or pooling of interests method we detail the following:

  • Assets and liabilities of the merged companies are recognized using their book values although adjustments should be recorded to achieve uniform accounting policies. The book values used are derived from each company's Financial Statements.
  • No goodwill is recognized. The difference between the cost of an investment and the acquired company's equity is recognized as a distinct reserve in the Company's equity
  • Intangible assets and contingent liabilities are recognized only to the extent that they are also recognized in the financial statements of the acquired companies
  • Transaction costs are directly recognized in the P&L statement
  • The financial statements of the acquiring companies were composed using data until the 31.12.2016, so the financial statements of the Company incorporated their figures as of the 01.01.2017

8.2 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are effective and have been adopted by the European Union

There are no new Standards, Interpretations, Revisions or Amendments to existing Standards that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2017.

8.3 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have not been applied yet or have not been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

In May 2014, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 15. The Standard fully converges with the requirements for the recognition of revenue in both IFRS and US GAAP. The key principles on which the Standard is based are consistent with much of current practice. The new Standard is expected to improve financial reporting by providing a more robust framework for addressing issues as they arise, increasing comparability across industries and capital markets, providing enhanced disclosures and clarifying accounting for contract costs. The new Standard will supersede IAS 11 "Construction Contracts", IAS 18 "Revenue" and several revenue related Interpretations. The Group is already examining the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2018.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9. The package of improvements introduced by the final version of the Standard, includes a logical model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking "expected loss" impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting The Group is already examining the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2018.

IFRS 16 "Leases" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)

In January 2016, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 16. The objective of the project was to develop a new Leases Standard that sets out the principles that both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer ('lessee') and the supplier ('lessor'), apply to provide relevant information about leases in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. To meet this objective, a lessee is required to recognise assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 12: " Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2017)

In January 2016, the IASB published narrow scope amendments to IAS 12. The objective of the amendments is to clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 7: "Disclosure Initiative" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2017)

In January 2016, the IASB published narrow scope amendments to IAS 7. The objective of the amendments is to enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. The amendments will require entities to provide disclosures that enable investors to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Clarification to IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

In April 2016, the IASB published clarifications to IFRS 15. The amendments to IFRS 15 do not change the underlying principles of the Standard, but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, how to determine whether a company is a principal or an agent and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendment to IFRS 2: "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

In June 2016, the IASB published narrow scope amendment to IFRS 2. The objective of this amendment is to clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. More specifically, the amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, for share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligation, as well as, a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IFRS 4: "Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

In September 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 4. The objective of the amendments is to address the temporary accounting consequences of the different effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the forthcoming insurance contracts Standard. The amendments to existing requirements of IFRS 4 permit entities whose predominant activities are connected with insurance to defer the application of IFRS 9 until 2021 (the "temporary exemption") and also permit all issuers of insurance contracts to recognize in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts Standard is issued (the "overlay approach"). The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2014-2016 Cycle (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2017 and 01/01/2018)

In December 2016, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2014-2016 Cycle, a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to several issues addressed during the 2014-2016 cycle. The issues included in this cycle are the following: IFRS 12: Clarification of the scope of the Standard, IFRS 1: Deletion of short-term exemptions for first-time adopters, IAS 28: Measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 for IFRS 12, and 1 January 2018 for IFRS 1 and IAS 28. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

In December 2016, the IASB issued a new Interpretation, IFRIC 22. IFRIC 22 provides requirements about which exchange rate to use in reporting foreign currency transactions (such as revenue transactions) when payment is made or received in advance. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 40: "Transfers of Investment Property" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

In December 2016, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 40. The objective of the amendments is to reinforce the principle for transfers into, or out of, investment property in IAS 40, to specify that (a) a transfer into, or out of investment property should be made only when there has been a change in use of the property, and (b) such a change in use would involve the assessment of whether the property qualifies as an investment property. That change in use should be supported by evidence. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)

In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)

In June 2017, the IASB issued a new Interpretation, IFRIC 23. IAS 12 "Income Taxes" specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC 23 provides requirements that add to the requirements in IAS 12 by specifying how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

8.4 Pro forma figure "Operating Earnings before Financial & Investment results, Tax, Depreciation & Amortization" (Group EBITDA)

Pro forma figures (EBITDA, EBITDA margin, free cash flow, net debt) are not governed by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Thus, these figures are calculated and presented by the Group in a way that provides a more fair view of the financial performance of its Business Sectors. The Group defines "Group EBITDA" as the Operating earnings before any interest income and expenses, investment results, depreciation, amortization and before the effects of any special factors. "Group EBITDA" is an important indicator used by Mytilineos Group to manage the Group's operating activities and to measure the performance of the individual segments.

The special factors that affect the Group's net profit / (losses) and EBITDA are the following:

a) the share in the EBITDA of associates when these are active in one of the Group's reported Business Sector and b) the effects of eliminations of any profit or loss from asset construction transactions of the Group with the associates.

It is noted that the Group financial statements, prepared according to IAS 1 and IAS 28, include:

The Group's profit realized in connection with the construction of fixed assets on account of subsidiaries and associates, when these are active in one of its reported Business Segments. Such profits are deducted from the Group's equity and fixed assets and released in the Group accounts over the same period as depreciation is charged. Consequently, for the calculation of EBITDA (operational results before depreciation), the Group does not eliminate the profit from the construction of fixed assets as its recovery through their use will effect only the profit after depreciation.

The Group states that the calculation of "Group EBITDA" may differ from the calculation method used by other companies/groups. However, "Group EBITDA" is calculated with consistency in each financial reporting period and any other financial analysis presented by the Group. Specifically financial results contain interest income/expense, while investment results contain gains/loss of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, share of results in associates companies and gains/losses from the disposal of financial assets (such as subsidiaries and associates).

8.6 Significant information

On 21.07.2017, MYTILINEOS (under its identity as legal successor of METKA due to merger) announced that is pleased to announce that it has concluded an agreement with the General Authority for Electricity and Renewable Energy of Libya (GAEREL) to carry out the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a new power plant in Tobruk, Libya. The project, with total output of more than 500MW, includes the supply and installation of 3 General Electric GT13E2 gas turbines in open cycle configuration, together with all associated balance of plant equipment and a 220/66kV substation. The contract value for MYTILINEOS amounts to \$380 million. The contract is subject to final approval from the responsible state authorities in Libya, and will only become effective upon opening of an irrevocable letter of credit confirmed by 1st class international bank.

Semi-annual financial report 46 The project will be carried out on a fasttrack schedule so that the first gas turbine will be ready to connect to

the grid within 9 months from commencement, and the second and third gas turbines will be ready for connection within 10 and 11 months respectively. This is METKA's first major project in Libya and emphasizes the company's commitment towards supporting markets with critical needs for power.

8.7 Impairments testing of goodwill and intangible assets

On 30/06/2017 the Group analyzed the sensitivity of recoverable amount in relation to a reasonable or possible change in some of key assumptions which were disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 (discount rate or growth rate). Sensitivity analysis was based upon some basic assumptions regarding to:

  • Discount rate
  • Growth rate
  • Fx rate €/\$
  • Metal prices in LME
  • Oil prices

This analysis doesn't indicate that the Group's carrying amount of Cash Generating Units exceeds the recoverable amount.

8.11 Discontinued operations

The Group, since 2009, applies IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations", and presents separately the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A., following the suspension of the production activity of the Zinc-Lead production plant in Romania, and presents also the amounts recognized in the income statement separately from continuing operations. Given the global economic recession, there were no feasible scenarios for the alternative utilization of the aforementioned financial assets.

From 2011 and on, by applying par. 13 of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets Held for Sale", the Zinc-Lead production ceases to be an asset held for sale and is considered as an asset to be abandoned. The assets of the disposal group to be abandoned are presented within the continuing operations while the results as discontinued operations.

In December 2015, SOMETRA S.A., contributed the Zinc-Lead activity, through a spin – off process, to its newly established subsidiary Reycom Recycling S.A. (REYCOM). The said spin - off is part of the "Mytilineos Group" restructuring process, regarding the Zinc-Lead discontinued operation, targeting on the production of Zn & Pb oxides through the development of a recycling operation of metallurgical residues.

For the fiscal years that have not been inspected by the tax authorities (as reported in the above table), there is a possibility of additional tax imposition. Therefore the Group assesses, on an annual basis, the contingent liabilities regarding additional taxes from tax inspections in respect of prior years and makes relevant provisions where this is deemed necessary. The Management assesses that apart from the recorded provisions which as at 31.12.2015 amount to € 1,3mil., any tax differences that may arise in the future will not have a material impact on the financial position, results and cash flows of the Group.

For the fiscal year 2012 and 2013, the Group companies which were subject to tax audit by statutory auditors or audit firm, received a Tax Compliance Certificate free of disputes in 2013 and 2014 accordingly.

For the 2014 and 2015 tax audit, the companies of the Group which operate in Greece have been subjected to a tax audit by Chartered Auditors according to article 65A par. 1 of law 4174/2013 and of law 4262/2014. Said tax audit has been completed during 2015 and 2016 accordingly and the tax certificates were distributed by the statutory auditors.

For fiscal year 2016, the tax audit is already being performed by the legal auditors and is not expected to bring any significant differentiation on the tax liabilities incorporated in the Financial Statements. According to the relevant recent law, the audit and issuance of tax certificates are also valid for the fiscal years starting from 2016 onwards on an optional basis.

In March 2017, the tax audit of the absorbed company METKA INDUSTRIAL – CONSTRUCTION SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME, for the fiscal years 2009 and 2010 according to Law 2238/1994, was completed. This audit resulted in additional income taxes amounting to € 377,816.24 and other taxes (stamp duty) amounting to € 2,330.16 and fines and surcharges amounting to € 57,032.48. The aforementioned additional tax liabilities resulting from the tax audit are already covered by the provisions made in the financial statements for the year 2016.

The absorbed companies "METKA INDUSTRIAL – CONSTRUCTION SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME, "ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME" (ALUMINIUM OF GREECE), "PROTERGIA POWER GENERATION AND SUPPLIERS" (Protergia) and PROTERGIA AGIOS NIKOLAOS POWER SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME" (Protergia THERMO) (hereinafter absorbed companies) for the period from 01/01/2017 (date of commencement of the transformation) until 06/07/2017 (date of approval by the competent authorities), according to the applicable regulatory framework (article 54 of Law 4172/2013 and Circular 1057/2017) are required to submit separate income tax statements. Furthermore, the absorbed companies for that period have submitted other statements of indirect and withholding taxes in order to meet their tax obligations.

For the absorbed companies said period, on the one hand, does not fall within the scope of the special audit carried out by chartered auditors in order to obtain a tax certificate (or Report on Tax Compliance) under Article 65A of Law 4174/2013 and, on the other hand, has not been subject to control by the competent tax authorities. As a result, the tax liabilities for the period 01/01/2017 to 06/07/2017 of the absorbed companies have not been deemed definitive, the management estimates that no additional taxes and surcharges are expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

8.16 Other Contingent Assets & Liabilities

Notes of Independent Power Transmission Operator S.A. (ADMIE)

On 17.12.2014, Independent Power Transmission Operator S.A. (IPTO or ADMIE) sent briefing notes to MYTILINEOS (henceforth the "Company") as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME due to merger, requesting the issuance of a credit invoice for the amount of €17.4m relating to the Excise Tax (ET) on Gas consumed at the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant for the period of 28/11/2012 until 31/10/2013 (henceforth the "Reference Period"). Said ET was invoiced to ADMIE during the aforementioned period, pursuant to its related debit notes.

In relation to the above, we note the following:

  • The CHP station is a dispatchable cogeneration unit, part of which qualifies as highly efficient (High-Efficiency Combined Heat and Power/ HE-CHP) under the Code's provisions, but also under the specific operational terms which were approved by way of RAE's Decision No. 700/2012 (as amended by Decision 341/2013).

  • According to Article 197(2) of Law 4001/2011, from 1/9/2011 onwards, all HE-CHP stations, regardless of their installed capacity, gain priority for the allocation of their loads. In particular, in accordance with Article 197(3) of the above Law, HE-CHP stations with an installed capacity over 35MW are to be compensated with the tariff which derives from the table displayed in Law 3468/2006, plus the Natural Gas Clause Coefficient (CC), which is calculated using the following formula: CC = 1+(AGP-26)/(100 x nel)

Where:

• AGP: the monthly mean average unitary selling price of natural gas to NG users in Greece who are also electricity customers, in €/MWh using the gross calorific value (GCV). This value is determined by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change's Petroleum Policy Directorate and is communicated to Hellenic Transmission System Operator S.A. (HTSO or DESMIE) on a monthly basis.

• nel: the electrical efficiency of the provision for High-Efficiency CHP based on the gross calorific value (GCV) of natural gas, which is defined in accordance with the station's technical information, as reported by the relevant Operator.

The CC value cannot be lower than one (1) and is determined on a case-by-case basis by way of a decision made by the Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Change (henceforth the "Ministerial Decision") following consultation by RAE. RAE's opinion must also take the plant's installed capacity into account, in a way so that the determined value generally decreases as the capacity increases.

Moreover, the AGP is displayed in €/MWh and includes the ET, as specified in the letter sent by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change's Petroleum Policy Directorate on 2/11/2011.

The High-Efficiency CHP station owned by the Company has an installed capacity of 334MW, of which 134.6MW has priority in entering the system (HE-CHP) in accordance with the aforementioned decisions which approved the Specific Operational Terms. From 1/9/2011 until 31/10/2013 (which ADMIE set as the final date for settling the ET), the CC value, as defined above, had not been established because the relevant decision had not been issued by the Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Change, despite the fact that the Regulatory Authority for Energy had issued two relevant opinions in accordance with the provisions of Article 197(2) of Law 4001/2011 (RAE 3/2012 and RAE 5/2013). Consequently, the Subsidiary's HE-CHP neither issued invoices nor received a tariff in accordance with the provisions of Law 4001/2011. Instead, following the signing of a Private Agreement between the Company and the Operator of Electricity Market (LAGIE) on 26.4.2013, HE-CHP issued temporary invoices, for the entire aforementioned period, at the minimum price which could have resulted from the application of the mathematical formula established by Law 4001/2011 (if the CC value was set at the unit price, i.e., if the AGP amounted to 26€/MWh). According to the Private Agreement, the final settlement was to take place following the establishment of the CC by way of the issuance of the relevant Ministerial Decision, so that dispatched HE-CHP energy would be compensated in accordance with the provisions of the "Supplementary Agreement for Transactions relating to Electricity from the Dispatchable High-Efficiency CHP Station" (Government Gazette B' 3108/23.11.2012) which was concluded between the Company and LAGIE on 28.11.2012.

The aforementioned provisions of Law 4001/2011, in conjunction with the provisions specified in the letter sent by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change's Petroleum Policy Directorate, as well as the provisions of both the Company's Private Agreement with LAGIE and the "Supplementary Agreement for Transactions relating to Electricity from the Dispatchable High-Efficiency CHP Station" between the two parties, require that the Natural Gas ET is recovered to the extent that the natural gas was consumed in generating electricity. Therefore, the Company also recognized the part of the Natural Gas ET which corresponded to consumptions made in generating useful heat (steam for the Alumina production process) as a liability (deducted from ADMIE's receivables balance), the total value of which amounted to €9.1m.

Semi-annual financial report for the period 1st January to 30th June 2017 55 Regarding the remaining balance of ADMIE's relevant briefing note, which amounts to €8.3m and relates to the Natural Gas ET which corresponded to consumptions for electricity generation (HE- CHP), it is noted that this does not constitute a liability for the Company. Specifically, in accordance with IAS 37, "a liability is a present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits". Based on the above and given that the Company has not received a final compensatory price for the Period (by way of the CC, see above), while, based on the Private Agreement between the Company and LAGIE, the final

settlement will take place following the issuance of the relevant Ministerial Decision regarding the establishment of the CC (which has not been issued), the Company believes that it has no commitment which would legally constitute an obligation to return the amount of €8.3m. A relevant liability may arise once the aforementioned Ministerial Decision regarding the establishment of the CC is issued, in which case the Company estimates that the final compensation that it will receive for electricity dispatched to the system as High-Efficiency CHP will exceed the amount of €8.3m. Therefore, it is not expected that a loss will result for the Company .

Finally, in respect of the final settlement of the CHP pricing for 2013 it is noted that, on the 4th of June 2015 the Company, sent a letter to the Operator of the Electricity Market (LAGHE) asking the convene of the Dispute Settlement Committee as provided in the article 16 p. 2 of the "Supplementary Agreement for Transactions relating to Electricity from the Dispatchable High-Efficiency CHP Station" signed between the parties. The dispute in consideration concerns the imposition of a 10% special tax plus an extra 10% of one-off discount on tariffs, both regarding the financial year 2013.

Following negotiations, the parties have reached a mutually acceptable draft arbitration agreement, so as to jointly apply for the resolution of the dispute by the special arbitration of the Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE), in accordance with article 37 of L.4001/2011. The approval of the arbitration agreement by the board of directors of the companies is expected, in order to appoint arbitrators and the third arbitrator and the arbitration procedure to be initiated.

According to IAS 37.14: A provision shall be recognised when:

(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised.

No provision has been made for this matter, since according to the relevant opinions of the Company's legal advisers and the management of the Company: (a) the existence of a commitment has not yet been finalized; and (b) there is no probability that there will be an outflow of financial resources.

State aid in favour of MYTILINEOS (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME due to merger), Decision of the European Commission

Semi-annual financial report for the period 1st January to 30th June 2017 56 In October 2011, the Company (in its capacity as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME due to merger) instituted proceedings before the General Court of the European

Union against the European Commission's decision of 13.07.2011 that ordered the recovery from the Company of state aid received by the latter amounting to approximately €17.5m (plus interest currently at around 4.5 million EUR) ). This amount represents the European Commission's assessment of the difference between the market electricity price and the price paid by the Company to PPC following the relevant interim measures decision, for the period January 2007 to March 2008.

The appeal was granted for purely procedural reasons by virtue of the General Court's decision on 8.10.2014 on case T-542/11. The decision did not assess the substance of the case.

PPC, who intervened to the case, submitted an appeal against this decision. The appeal was granted by the European Union Court's decision of 26.10.2016 on case C-590/14P.

Further to the aforementioned, the case (T-524/11 RENV) is pending before the General Court of the European Union, which will examine the substantive reasons, for which the Company seeks annulment of the European Commission's decision dated 13.07.2011. It is noted that the pending appeal has no suspensive effect. The Company has the right to apply for suspension before the General Court of the European Union. However, until a decision is issued, accepting any application for suspension, the European Commission's decision constitutes a valid and enforceable legal title for recovery under Greek law. It should also be noted that if the Greek State seeks recovery from the Company through an enforcement proceeding, of the amount awarded by the European Commission as constituting unlawful State aid, the Company has the right to bring legal proceedings (opposition and application for suspension) before the Greek courts. The Company questions the correctness of the classification by the European Commission as State aid, of the difference between the market price of the electricity sold and that paid by the Company to PPC for the period January 2007-March 2008. This is because, according to the Company, PPC invoicing to it for the electricity supplied to it by PPC cannot be the same with that for the balance of industrial consumers, since the Company is the best customer (in terms of consumption profile) of PPC. To support this view, the Company claims that it has recently signed with PPC a long-term electricity procurement contract with an entirely specialized tariff, which is significantly lower than the average industrial tariff. In addition, the Company claims that the European Commission no longer has any interest in the outcome of this case, as evidenced by the fact that it has not appealed against the decision of the General Court of the European Commission, which annulled its decision dated 13.07. 2011.

However, the European Commission, in a recent letter, insists on the obligation to (temporarily) recover the amount from the competent authorities of the Hellenic Republic, a letter to which PPC referred, in May 2017 to claim recovery of the amount from the Company.

The final judgment on the nature of the difference in the selling price of electricity as illegal or non-State aid, lies with the Courts of the European Union, before which the case is pending.

According to IAS 37.14: A provision shall be recognised when:

(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised.

No provision has been made for this matter, since according to the relevant opinions of the Company's legal advisers and the management of the Company: (a) the existence of a commitment has not yet been finalized; and (b) there is no probability that there will be an outflow of financial resources.

DEPA claim against the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME and Protergia Thermoilektriki Agiou Nikolaou Power Generation and Supply S.A. due to merger) and Korinthos Power S.A.

DEPA S.A. demands:

For the year 2014 regarding charges for the Annual Quantity Deficit (clause take or pay):

  • The amount of €1,539,312.97 plus interest by Korinthos Power S.A.

Regarding charges that arose from the retrospective revision of the contract price due to the revision of the prices charged by DEPA's supplier, the Turkish company "BOTAS PETROLEUM PIPELINE CORPORATION":

  • the amount of €6,256,309.53 plus interest €867,441 by the Company (as universal successor of Protergia Thermoilektriki Agiou Nikolaou Power Generation and Supply S.A.);
  • the amount of €7,245,689.86 plus interest €1,580,818 by the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME) and
  • the amount of €4,653,532.99 plus interest €618,601 by Korinthos Power S.A.

The Company and Korinthos Power S.A. contested the existence of the said amounts. More specifically:

The Company (as universal successor of Protergia Thermoilektriki Agiou Nikolaou Power Generation and Supply S.A. due to merger) and Korinthos Power S.A. have already filed arbitration lawsuits against DEPA S.A. in order to resolve the aforementioned disputes.

Moreover the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME) intends to file for arbitration against DEPA S.A.

The above arbitration proceedings of Company and Korinthos Power S.A. are currently ongoing. In any case, it is expected that a relevant arbitration award will be taken into account, which was issued in order to resolve a related dispute between the opposing party DEPA S.A. and another electricity producer, according to which it was held that the relevant retrospective charging of said electricity producer due to revisions to the price of natural gas in DEPA S.A.'s relation with its supplier BOTAS PETROLEUM PIPELINE CORPORATION cannot concern a period of time longer than thirty (30) months prior to the date of issuance and notification of the invoice for the retroactive revision of the contract price, and that said charge would not be burdened retroactively for the period prior to its imposition with default interest, and on this basis it is expected that there is an even greater probability of success of the claims that were respectively raised by the aforementioned companies in relation to this dispute.

Following the aforementioned, the Group has recognized a provision of possible liability of 3,9mio€, which has been taken into account for the year 2016 results.

Other Contingent Assets & Liabilities

Legal claim of the Company (as universal successor of METKA S.A. due to merger) from its supplier.

There is a pending claim of the Company (as universal successor of METKA S.A. due to merger) against a supplier amounting to € 28.1 million, which relates to compensation for poor performance.

For the above case, the defendant company has also requested arbitration against the absorbed company RODAX S.A., the cases of which are automatically taken over by the Company. Following the above request the Arbitration Court of International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) issued a final judgment, by virtue of which it held the defendant company RODAX SA equally responsible (ie 50%) for the harmful event from which the aforementioned legal claims of the Company arise. The aforesaid litigation of the Company has been scheduled at first to be heard before the Court of Livadia on 20th of April, 2017 further postponed to 02.11.2017.

Litigation with UBAF

After the termination of the agreement between the Company (as universal successor of METKA S.A. due to merger) with UBAF (Bank) to keep cash of the Company amounting to € 59,7 mil. within a term deposit account, followed the refusal of UBAF to transfer the aforementioned balance it maintained to the Company's current account. The reason of the above was the invocation of the need to use the specific amount as pledge, in case that any demands be raised, from counter guarantees that the Bank has provided, on the Company's request, in order to issue good performance guarantee letters. Following the above, the Company proceeded with the commencement of proceedings before the courts of France. The litigation addresses the legal and substantial merits of the claim by UBAF to keep that amount to a pledge account for the sake of its own assurance, without in any case UBAF questioning that the Company is the beneficiary of that amount.

Arbitration with ENTREPOSE ALGERIE SPA

ENTREPOSE ALGERIE SPA as a subcontractor of the Company (in its capacity as a universal successor of METKA S.A. as a result of merger) on the basis of a relevant contract (No A-7449) entered into on 1 June 2014, concerning the execution of part of the works relating to the construction of Hassi R'mel II power plant in Algeria, referred to arbitration against the Company before the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), claiming payment of the amount of EUR 6,968,496.39 plus interest, as compensation for damage suffered on the basis of that contract. The Company (as a universal successor of METKA SA due to merger) intends to respond to the above-mentioned application for arbitration by submitting a claim against ENTREPOSE ALGERIE SPA for the payment of damages and penalties amounting to approximately EUR 8,650,000 due to non- compliance of the contractor with its contractual obligations under the same contract.

Company's other Contingent Assets & Liabilities

The Company has a pending legal claim against the Republic of Serbia for the amount of US\$ 98,9 million including interest and expenses until the hearing, which relates to compensation for the damages caused to the Company as a result of the failure by "RTB BOR", a state enterprise of former Yugoslavia (now "Serbia"), to comply with obligations that the latter had contractually undertaken, and for which compensation the Republic of Serbia is also liable due to breaching its international contractual obligations. For said case, the Company filed a claim against the Republic of Serbia before an international arbitral tribunal. Following the conducting of the arbitration proceedings and the submission of pleadings by both parties outlining their claims, the arbitration proceedings were completed and the arbitral decision is currently being awaited. In its results, the Company will acknowledge the amount that may be awarded to it by the Arbitral Tribunal at the time of the expected positive outcome. The amount expected to be awarded may not be accurately assessed.

There are other potential third party claims of € 3.97 million against the Company for which no provision has been made. According to IAS 37.14: A provision shall be recognised when:

(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised.

No provision has been made for this matter, since according to the relevant opinions of the Company's legal advisers and the management of the Company: (a) the existence of a commitment has not yet been finalized; and (b) there is no probability that there will be an outflow of financial resources.

Moreover, there are claims of the Company against third parties, which totally amount to €21.85m.

8.21 Share Capital

MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A.'s shares are freely traded on the Athens Exchange. The Company's share capital is fully paid– up and the shares have been fully paid. Upon the completion of the merger by absorption of "METKA INDUSTRIAL – CONSTRUCTION SOCIETE ANONYME" , "ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME", "PROTERGIA POWER GENERATION AND SUPPLIES SOCIETE ANONYME" and "PROTERGIA AGIOS NIKOLAOS POWER SOCIETE ANONYME OF GENERATION AND SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY" by "MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A.", the Company will proceed with all the necessary actions in order to ensure that the new shares that METKA's beneficiary shareholders are entitled to as a result of the Merger are credited to their SAT (Dematerialized Securities System-DSS) accounts. No new shares will be issued for the balance of the Absorbed Companies, given that the Absorbing Company owns the entirety (100%) of their shares either directly or indirectly. Therefore, their total contributed assets (assets and liabilities) will not result in an increase of the Absorbing Company's share capital, but the amount relating to the value of the Absorbing Company's participation in the aforementioned Absorbed Companies will be deleted from the Absorbing Company's

"Participating Interests" account, and any differences will be registered under equity accounts as differences resulting from the Merger. As of the date of the completion of the Merger, the new shares that are attributable to the beneficiaries of METKA's shares will confer to them the right to participate in the Absorbing Company's profits and the right to receive dividends. The share capital and the alterations to the Absorbing Company's share capital before and after the Merger are shown in the following table:

8.22 Financial Assets – Financial Liabilities

The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • 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); and

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.

The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy for 30/06/2017 and 31/12/2016 as follows:
