Update on selection process for an alternative investment fund manager

Further to Resolution no. 9 / 25 September 2023 of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders ("OGMS") of Fondul Proprietatea S.A. ("Fondul"), published on the Fund's website here, the Board of Nominees ("Board / BoN") of Fondul Proprietatea S.A. is pleased to provide the following update on the BoN led selection process for an alternative investment fund manager ("AIFM") for Fondul.

As noted in the announcement on 2nd December 2024, the BoN received two AIFM submissions from:

· A global infrastructure asset manager; and

· A European-based AIFM in partnership with a Romanian asset management advisory firm.

In collaboration with its selection advisor Deutsche Numis, the BoN has conducted an initial review of candidate submissions based on the selection criteria approved by Fondul shareholders by General Meeting of Shareholders held on 27 September 2024.

Following its review, the BoN announces that it will conduct additional due diligence and will engage with candidates during scheduled meetings, to take place in February 2025, at the office of the selection advisor. The purpose of these meetings will be to further evaluate the candidate submission and obtain additional clarifications. In line with the shareholders instructions, the BoN will only select candidates that satisfy the condition to be, or be in a consortium with, an EU regulated AIFM.

A further update will be made by the BoN to investors following completion of its review.
