The registration shall be followed by the transfer of shares from the transferor to the members in the transferor. As evidenced by the received notifications, the transferee's shares held by the transferor shall entirely be used as compensation, i.e. share exchange for the members in the transferor - (i) Wurmböck Beteiligungs GmbH, (ii) Goldscheider Keramik Gesellschaft m.b.H. and (iii) Dr. Franz Lanschützer, proportionally to the size of the stake that each individual member holds in the transferor. Thus, the merger and share transfer did not result in the change of controlling persons.

Status change- merger of EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH to the Issuer.

4) Information on the document based on which the fall below the threshold prescribed by Article 413 of the Act occurs

Joint Merger Plan (Ger. Verschmelzungsplan) dated 20 April 2018, concluded between EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH as transferor company and Issuer Valamar Riviera d.d. as transferee company (hereinafter: Joint Merger Plan or Plan).

The merger of EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH as transferor company to Issuer Valamar Riviera d.d. as transferee company is carried out through the registration of the merger in the court registers where EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH and Valamar Riviera d.d. are registered and therefore EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH as transferor ceases to exist while the transferee continues its business operations with all its rights and liabilities and is also the universal legal successor of the transferor.

The transferor is a shareholder in the transferee holding a total of 55,594,884 shares of the Issuer Valamar Riviera d.d., which represents 44.11% of the share capital of the transferee.

Pursuant to Article 224 paragraph 3 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act¹ and Article 512 paragraph 1 of the Companies Act, these shares of the transferee that are held by the transferor shall entirely be used as compensation, i.e. exchange of shares for the members

^<sup>1 Stock Corporation Act (Ger. Aktiengesetz), Federal Law Gazzette (BGBI) 1965/98 (hereinafter: AktG).

in the transferor in the following way: Valamar Riviera d.d. shall transfer these shares of the transferee to the members in the transferor proportionally to the size of the stake that each individual member holds in the transferor (aliquot).

The members in the transferor as at the Joint Merger Plan are:

• a) The company: Wurmböck Beteiligungs GmbH with registered office in Vienna, 8 Plöβlgasse, 1040 Vienna, Republic of Austria, commercial register number (FN) 479879 f, personal identification number (OIB): 27318626442 – that holds one business stake in the nominal amount of EUR 15,750.00, which represents 45% (forty-five percent) of the share capital of the transferor.
• b) The company: Goldscheider Keramik Gesellschaft m.b.H. with registered office in Vienna, 8 Plößlgasse, 1040 Vienna, Republic of Austria, commercial register number (FN) 113805 k, personal identification number (OIB): 93917247170 - that holds one business stake in the nominal amount of EUR 15,750.00, which represents 45% (fortyfive percent) of the share capital of the transferor.
• c) Dr. Franz Lanschützer from Vienna, 16/1 Salmannsdorferstraße, 1190 Vienna, Republic of Austria, personal identification number (OIB): 56212187099 - that holds one business stake in the nominal amount of EUR 3,500.00, which represents 10% (ten percent) of the share capital of the transferor.

Pursuant to this, the following ratio has been determined for the exchange according to which in the exchange process the members in the transferor shall receive for their business stake in the transferor, and which is annulled within the merger:

• a) Wurmböck Beteiligungs GmbH $-$ a total of 25,017,698 shares of the transferee and the adequate stake, pursuant to Article 225.a paragraph 3 point 3 of AktG and Article 522 paragraph 4 of the Companies Act by operation of law (ipso iure);
• b) Goldscheider Keramik Gesellschaft m.b.H. a total of 25,017,698 shares of the transferee and the adequate stake, pursuant to Article 225.a paragraph 3 point 3 of AktG and Article 522 paragraph 4 of the Companies Act by operation of law (ipso iure);
• c) Dr. Franz Lanschützer a total of 5,559,488 shares of the transferee and the adequate stake, pursuant to Article 225.a paragraph 3 point 3 of AktG and Article 522 paragraph 4 of the Companies Act by operation of law (ipso iure).

Since the transferor is a shareholder in the transferee, and whose shares will be transferred in the exchange process to the members in the transferor as previously stated, in the course of the merger process the transferee shall not issue new shares, i.e. shall not increase its share capital that remains entirely unchanged. Insofar, the crossborder merger is neutral for the transferee.

Pursuant to the law, the Joint Merger Plan became valid on 8 May 2018 when the general assembly of the Issuer Valamar Riviera decided to approve the Plan, and after the general assembly of the transferor EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH previously rendered on 20 April 2018 the same decision to approve the Plan.

Pursuant to the law, the full legal effects of this status change – merger of EPIC Hospitality Holding GmbH can occur upon the registration of the merger in the Commercial register of the competent court of the Republic of Croatia. Pursuant to this, it will be possible to perform the transfer of the Issuer's shares from the transferor to the members in the transferor after the registration of the merger is carried out.

5) Information on the number of voting rights (absolute and relative amount) by which falling below the threshold prescribed by Article 413 of the Act occurs

55,594,884 (fifty-five million five hundred ninety-four thousand eight hundred eightyfour) ordinary, registered shares, without nominal amount.
