2.3. What are the key risks that are specific to the Issuer?
Financial risks
(i) Construction costs and Project's success risk. The completion of the Project initially was projected by the end of 2023, but changed Project's development scenario (from hotel / school complex to educational with integrated hospitality services complex) caused the postponement of the construction works and the constructions' schedule had to be revised. Further delay in completion of the Project is expected due to termination of two main material contracts in relation to the lease and sub-lease of the Project's premises by the Issuer as lessor and UAB "Orkelos valdymas" as sublessor. Because of these recent events, the Issuer had to revise the Project's development scenario and construction schedule. It is anticipated that under the revised Project's development scenario, educational facilities (as kindergarten and (or) primary and (or) secondary schools), office and retail facilities, including a couple of restaurants and coffee stores, underground parking will operate in the premises of the Project. Under the revised construction schedule the completion of the Project is projected around the end of 2024. However, considering that the Project's premises will be subject to additional design works that might affect the final timeline of the construction of the Project, additional delays in the Project's completion might be expected. Moreover, as the Issuer is switching to multitenant structure, the Issuer's success in finding tenants and fit out of the Project's premises for separate tenants might also have an impact on the final date of completion of the whole Project and generation of expected return for the Issuer. Even though the Project's development scenario has changed several times, by November 2023 the Project is 69% completed under initially estimated costs' structure. The Issuer is expecting to complete the construction of the Project without material deviations from the initially estimated costs' structure considering that most of the major construction works are already completed, several initial construction solutions will be abandoned due to the changed Project's development scenario and new solutions will be adapted to the new scenario instead. Additionally, it is important to note that fit-out of the Project's premises for individual tenants will not require additional (above the budgeted) Issuer's financial contributions as each tenant will be responsible for the individual adaptation of the premises to its needs. Nevertheless, please take into account that as the situation in global markets and building materials supply chain is changing frequently due to Russian – Ukraine war and related economic and geopolitical situation in the region, including related instability in energy market (even though that the Project is being built as energy efficient and therefore, the Project is more resistant to fluctuations in energy prices), also because of existing uncertainty regarding completion of the Project by the end of 2024 as described above, these factors pose a risk of unexpected increase in construction costs or inability to secure construction material required to complete the Project that may reduce the overall profitability of the Project, delay the completion of the Project and as a result adversely affect the Issuer's activities, financial situation, and ability to redeem the Bonds. Moreover, the Company cannot provide any assurance that there will not be any disputes with its suppliers or that it will be able to maintain business relationships with its existing suppliers. Any disruption to the Company's supply chain as a
result of an issue with a supplier, or any damage to such supplier's integrity could cause the Company significant time and expense in remediation of any deficiencies and could impact its reputation, which could adversely affect its reputation and profitability. Nevertheless, the Issuer's and the Management Company's employees are monitoring the development of the Project, overall market conditions and financial condition of invoked suppliers and plan various scenarios to mitigate risk of unexpected increase in construction costs or inability to secure construction material required to complete the Project.
(i) Economic environment and insolvency risk. The Issuer's activities and results depend on the economic processes in Lithuania and internationally. At the moment economies in the region and globally are disbalanced due to ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, sharp growth of interest rates, energy prices volatility and prolonged post Covid-19 recovery. Lithuania is experiencing unprecedented inflation rates, in this way reducing overall investment market attractiveness and in turn limiting the economic outlook. It can be assumed that these factors contribute to currently experienced slowdown of the real estate market in Lithuania. Even if currently there is no material economic downturn domestically, in the event of its occurrence, the demand for the Issuer's services may decrease, the risk of insolvency of the Company's tenants and/or other contractors may increase, which may have a negative impact on the implementation and results of the Issuer's business strategy and the Project may not generate expected positive returns. Please note that the Issuer is expecting to start receiving rental income once the Project is completed (currently, the completion is scheduled around the end of 2024) and the handover deeds are signed with tenants. In a multi-tenant scenario, the initial rental income might deviate significantly from the expectations set by a single-tenant lease structure that was initially implemented by the Issuer. Despite the potential for higher revenues from a multipurpose property, it is important to acknowledge the low likelihood of achieving full occupancy at the outset. Consequently, the income generated in the initial year or so may fall below anticipated levels. These factors individually, or in combination might cause the insolvency of the Issuer. The Issuer is subject to the Law on Insolvency on Legal Entities of the Republic of Lithuania and Issuer's insolvency may affect the Investors' ability to recover their investments.
(iii) Negative equity risk. According to the BAS Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, the Issuer had a negative equity amounting to -EUR 875,831 during the financial year 2022, i.e. the Issuer's liabilities exceeded the amount of the Issuer's equity. The negative equity situation has been rectified in October 2023 by issuing and subscribing by the Fund 50 new Shares of the Issuer with EUR 25 par value each. The subscription price of the new Shares was EUR 3,500,000, which has been paid by the Fund by setting of the obligations for partial redemption of bonds issued under the bond subscription agreement of 15 November 2018, full redemption of the bond subscription agreements of 9 August 2023, 25 August 2023, 7 September 2023, 14 September 2023 and payment of subscription price for the new Shares. As of 16 October 2023, the Company's equity is positive and reaches EUR 1,118,716. Although solved, such change is not reflected in the available financial statements of the Issuer and has not been audited yet. Moreover, there is a risk that negative equity situation may repeat or reemerge until the day the Project starts generating income. The described situation may negatively impact the Issuer's ability to get financing/refinancing for the Project's development and/or to redeem the Bonds in a timely manner. Additionally, the auditor's report in respect to the BAS Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 expresses a concern on the ability of the Company to ensure its business continuity. The ground for such auditor's concern was negative equity situation and the Company's ability to ensure needed financing to complete the Project. If the Company does not succeed in raising the required funds through the issue of the Bonds under the Prospectus and/or does not receive scheduled contributions by the sole shareholder, there is a risk that the business continuity of the Company may not be ensured.
Business activities and industry risks
(i) Multiple tenants' risk and risk of finding suitable tenants. The success of the Project will depend on the success of its tenants. The Project's cashflow risk will be diversified between multiple tenants. Under such structure, having multiple solvent tenants should minimize the risk or impact on the Issuer's cash flow if one tenant's financial situation changes significantly. It shall be noted that although a multi-tenant property may only periodically achieve 100% occupancy (though it is a primary goal of the Issuer), the risk of having close to zero occupancy is almost non-existent as could be the case when a single-tenant property experiences vacancy. Despite the benefits of implementing a multitenant structure, there are several risks associated with it. First of all, the Issuer is in the beginning of the process of finding new tenants for the Project's premises and currently no lease agreements are concluded by the Issuer. In the face of a potential market slowdown where vacancies in commercial buildings are increasing and competitive pressures are driving lower prices, there is a significant risk that the Issuer will not succeed in finding suitable tenants within a short period of time and therefore, a major vacancy might be experienced that in turn will result in less than expected income from lease of the Project's premises. Secondly, to overcome competitors and to attract new tenants, the Issuer might need to offer significant discounts or other contractual benefits for tenants to minimize vacancies and ensure cash flow. If these risks materialize, they could significantly affect the Issuer's financial condition, results of operation of the Project, as well as ability to redeem the Bonds at their maturity. Nevertheless, the Issuer's and the Management Company's employees are invoking all possible resources to attract new tenants on terms and timeline acceptable to the Issuer.
(ii) Education market risk. A part of the Project is dedicated for educational services where one or several educational institutions will operate a kindergarten and/or primary, and/or secondary schools. The demand for educational services can be influenced by various factors, including economic conditions, changes in population demographics, and regulatory developments. A decline in student enrolment or changes in educational preferences could impact the financial performance of the educational institution leasing Project's space, thereby posing a risk that the Issuer's tenant will face financial difficulties in paying rent to the Issuer and the Issuer will not generate expected return.
(iii) Office market risk. Until now, the office market has shown relative stability. However, it is noteworthy that the median leased office space is on a declining trend. The decrease in the median leased office space suggests a potential shift in market dynamics, which can be attributed to several known reasons. Firstly, there are existing vacancies in the market, indicating a surplus of available office spaces. Secondly, geopolitical factors have contributed to a slowdown in decision-making processes among tenants, leading to a more cautious approach in committing to new leases. Lastly, the economic outlook has introduced uncertainties that are influencing tenant behaviour, resulting in a tendency to shorten lease periods and reduce the leased area as a risk-mitigation strategy. These factors collectively contribute to the observed decline in the median leased office space, highlighting the complexity of the current market conditions and the challenges in securing full occupancy for the project within the expected timeframe. Investors should carefully consider these factors when assessing the potential impact on the project's leasing strategy and overall performance, as these conditions could significantly influence the project's success and the issuer's ability to redeem bonds.
Legal risks
(i) Risk of legal disputes. The Issuer may be involved in legal disputes due to its activities or due to termination of two main material contracts in relation to the lease and sub-lease of the Project's premises by the Issuer as lessor and UAB "Orkelos valdymas" as sublessor (as plaintiff or defendant or third party), the outcome and the costs of which cannot be predicted in
advance. If a dispute is resolved in the manner unfavourable to the Issuer, this could adversely affect its operations, financial condition, and reputation as the Issuer may be required to pay damages awarded, including the legal costs of the opponent (the Issuer itself would also incur legal costs). All of this can have an impact on the Issuer's ability to properly perform its obligations to the Bondholders, and on the attractiveness and liquidity of the Bonds.
Governance and internal control risks
(i) Ownership risk. The Issuer is a company 100% owned by the Fund that is controlled by the Management Company, having prominent expertise, management team, professional staff and resources to outsource professional advisers. The Fund's operational term was extended until June 2025 after which it shall be closed, unless the operational term will be extended for an additional period in accordance with applicable law and internal documents of the Fund. Change in ownership of the Issuer (in case of the closure of the Fund at its maturity or sale of the Issuer's Shares before Fund's maturity) could result in reduction of attractiveness and liquidity of the Bonds, as well as early redemption of Bonds.

On 8 December 2021 the Issuer has concluded the Agreement on Bondholders' Protection with UAB „AUDIFINA“, a private limited liability company, legal entity code 125921757, with its registered address at A. Juozapavičiaus st. 6, LT-09310 Vilnius, the Republic of Lithuania (the Trustee).
The Issue, including the Offering is secured by a first ranking mortgage over the real estate (the Collateral) under the Collateral Agreement concluded between the Issuer and Trustee on 17 December 2021.
3.1.4. Rank of securities in the Issuer's capital structure in the event of insolvency

3.2. Where will the securities be traded?
The Issuer will seek Admission of the Bonds to be issued under the Prospectus to trading on the Bond List of Nasdaq of Nasdaq Vilnius AB (the Bond List of Nasdaq or Nasdaq). The Bonds will be publicly offered in the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Estonia and the Republic of Latvia.
3.3. What are the key risks that are specific to the securities?
General Bonds' risks
(i) Inflation risk. Inflation reduces the purchasing power of a Bond's future interest and Nominal Value. Inflation may lead to higher interest rates which could negatively affect the Bond price in the secondary market. In addition to that, at the time of the Prospectus high inflation is viewed globally as one of the main macroeconomic factors posing significant risk to global economic growth and consequentially to the value of both equity and debt securities.
(ii) Interest rate risk. The Bonds bear interest on their outstanding Nominal Value at a fixed interest rate. While the interest rate of the Bond is fixed until redemption, the prevailing capital market rates change on a daily basis. At the date of the Prospectus, the prevailing capital market rates are higher than the fixed interest rate for the Bonds. Therefore, considering the high competition in the capital markets it might be difficult for the Issuer to attract required external financing to complete the Project. If the market interest rates continue to increase, the market value of the Bonds may fall, the potential Investors may lose interest in the Bonds and it might be difficult to sell the Bonds in a secondary market.
(iii) Refinancing risk. The Issuer plans to use bank loan as the main source for the redemption of the Bonds. The Issuer's ability to successfully refinance its debt is dependent on the conditions of the debt capital markets and its financial condition at such time. Even if the debt capital markets improve, the Issuer's access to financing sources at a particular time may not be available on favourable terms, or at all. The Issuer's inability to refinance its debt obligations on favourable terms, or at all, could have a negative impact on the Issuer's operations, financial condition, earnings and on the Bondholders' recovery under the Bonds. The Issuer's preventative actions and/or anticipated plans on refinancing of the Bonds described above does not guarantee that the Issuer will be able to redeem the Bonds as anticipated on the day of the Prospectus and that Bondholders will recover their planned investments.
Offering and Admission to trading on the Bond List of Nasdaq related risks
(i) Liquidity risk. The Bonds of the first and second parts of the Issue in the total amount of EUR 20,951,000 are already admitted to trading on the Bond List of Nasdaq and the public market for the Bonds of the Issuer is developing. The Bonds to be issued under the Prospectus in Tranches will also be applied for Admission to trading on the Bond List of Nasdaq. However, neither the Issuer nor the Lead Manager can guarantee that the secondary market for the Bonds of the Issuer will develop (or will be maintained) as an active market, especially taking into account that the Bond List of Nasdaq, compared to other international debt securities markets, is characterised by relatively low liquidity and limited secondary trading volume. The historical trading volumes of the already admitted Bonds on the Bond List of Nasdaq for the years 2022 and 2023 (until the date of the Prospectus) are relatively low. Moreover, the liquidity and the market prices of the Bonds can be expected to vary with changes in market and economic conditions, the financial position and prospects of the Issuer and many other factors that generally influence the market prices of securities. As a result, the Bondholders might bear a loss due to not being able to sell the Bond or having to sell them at an unfavourable price.
(ii) Bonds may not be appropriate to some Investors. The Bonds may not be an appropriate investment to some Investors. Each potential Investor into the Bonds should assess appropriateness of the investment taking into account all relevant personal circumstances. The potential Investor shall be aware, that the Issuer itself is not obliged and will not carry out the assessment whether the Bonds are an appropriate financial product for the Investor (although such assessment(s) will be performed by the Lead Manager/Manager(s) in accordance with their internal rules, in any case such assessment(s) may have a different scope and produce a different result). Prospective Investor should not invest into the Bonds unless the Investor has sufficient personal experience himself/herself or with the advice of professional financial advisors, can evaluate the impact on the value of the Bonds upon changes in market and economic conditions, the resulting effects on the value of such Bonds and the impact this investment will have on the potential Investor's overall investment portfolio.
Collateral related risks
(i) Risk of insufficient value of the Collateral. The Issue is secured by a first ranking mortgage over the Collateral under the Collateral Agreement. Apart from the Collateral, there are no other securities of third parties securing the Issue under the Prospectus. Collateral consists of real estate property currently developed and constructed by the Issuer as a part of the Project. As a result, the value of the Collateral directly depends on the construction progress and successful completion of the Project and in case of Issuer's default before the end of construction stage the value of the Collateral could be not high enough to cover Issuer's obligations to the Bondholders. In addition to that, in case of negative development of Lithuanian real estate market and resulting significant drop in the value of the Collateral even after completion of the Project, the value of Collateral could be not high enough that all claims of the Bondholders could be satisfied.
