Franklin Templeton International Services S.à r.l., in its capacity as Alternative Investment Fund Manager and Sole Director ("Fund Manager") of Fondul Proprietatea S.A. (the "Fund"), would like to update shareholders with respect to the implementation status of the share capital decrease by reducing the shares' nominal value for the coverage of the cumulated accounting losses and the distribution to shareholders of RON 0.05 per share, as approved through the Fund's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting Resolution no. 10 of 31 October 2016 ("EGM Resolution no. 10").

Following the Fund Manager's request sent to the Financial Supervisory Authority ("FSA") in connection to the endorsement status of EGM Resolution no. 10, FSA informed us on 10 March 2017 that the endorsement request of the Fund's share capital decrease and the amendment of the Constitutive Act will be proposed to be discussed during FSA's Board meeting dated 15 March 2017.
