Statement on FAS findings

Global Ports Investments PLC ("Global Ports" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the "Group" or the "Global Ports Group"; LSE ticker: GLPR) has been informed that following an investigation launched in June 2016 by the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), the FAS has found several entities, including the Group's FCT, VSC and PLP terminals, in breach of antimonopoly laws in relation to the pricing of stevedoring services in Russian ports. The investigation surveyed the pricing of terminal handling charges (THC*) from 2015.

Global Ports believes that it has behaved appropriately in relation to competition regulation and intends to challenge the finding in court. While court proceedings are ongoing, the FAS decision will not be enforced. If the court upholds the finding, the potential outcome may be forfeiture to the federal budget of amounts equivalent to what FAS deems to be excessive revenues.

Global Ports has always offered market driven, competitive prices for its services in a market with significant available capacity. Since the beginning of the year, Global Ports has provided its clients with additional commercial initiatives as well as introduced rouble-based pricing for services offered to Russian freight forwarders.

The Russian container terminals market is highly competitive with capacity utilisation at the lowest levels in more than a decade. Capacity utilisation - which indicates the amount of capacity within ports that is actually being used - was at around 50% at the end of 2016, down from 74% in 2013. This shows the significant increase in the level of spare capacity in ports, which is still the case today, resulting in continued fierce competition for business and ongoing downward pressure on prices.

* THC is the key component of revenues from container handling, and is charged for container movements from the vessel to trucks or railcars (or vice versa) within the terminal.
