1 Please note that on 28 December 2018, the cancellation of 74,210,188 shares acquired during BB8 was registered with the Trade Registry. Thus, as of 28 December 2018, the new values of the Fund's share capital are: subscribed share capital RON 4,733,020,898.32, divided in 9,101,963,266 shares, and the paid-up share capital is RON 4,543,838,476.32, divided in 8,738,150,916 shares.

2 The total voting rights does not reflect yet the share capital decrease which was effective starting with 28 December 2018, as its implementation with Depozitarul Central S.A. is ongoing and it is expected to be implemented before end of January 2019.

3 As per the Fund's Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting Resolution no. 4 of 14 November 2018, published in the Official Gazette of Romania, Part IV, no. 4592 on 4 December 2018, the tenth buyback programme refers to the acquisition by the Fund of a maximum number of 750,000,000 shares and/or equivalent global depository receipts corresponding to the Fund's shares ("GDRs").
