Beside the shares held in Transilvania Investments Alliance, I also hold shares in the other SIFs. How did I obtain them?

According to Law no.133/1996 for the transformation of Private Ownership Funds into financial investment companies, Romanian citizens who received certificates of ownership under Law no. 58/1991 and subscribed one or more such certificates in the privatization processes initiated and carried out under Law no. 55/1995, received as dividends, in the form of shares, a part of the revenues due to the Private Ownership Funds by March 31, 1996.

Thus, citizens who have subscribed a booklet of certificates of ownership in a company, regardless which one, received 6 additional shares in SIF Banat Crisana, 5 in SIF Moldova, 8 in SIF Transilvania (at present Transilvania Investments Alliance), 38 in SIF Muntenia and 10 in SIF Oltenia. The 8 shares originally held by the SIF Transilvania shareholders were doubled twice, based on the decisions of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders dated April 27, 2007 and April 28, 2014 (which approved the share capital increase and granting free shares to shareholders, namely one free share for each share held) and as a result, the shareholder who initially received 8 shares currently holds 32 shares in Transilvania Investments Alliance.

Please note that increases of the initial number of shares received under the above, were performed over the time also by the other Financial Investment Companies.

If you want to know the current situation of your holdings, you must request a statement of account from the Central Depository S.A., headquartered in Bucharest, 34-36 Carol I Boulevard, Floors 3, 8 and 9, District 2, Phone: 021–4085800, 021-4085874, e-mail: contact@depozitarulcentral.ro, website: www.roclear.ro.

I sold the shares held in Transilvania Investments Alliance at the beginning of the year. Why I have not received dividends distributed from the profit of the previous year?

The right to receive dividends belongs to the shareholders registered in the shareholders register on the registration date set under F.S.A. Rule no.5/2018 relating to issuers of financial instruments and market operations.

Thus, the registration date is approved by the same general meeting of shareholders of Transilvania Investments Alliance (former SIF Transilvania) which approved the dividend distribution and shall be subsequent by at least ten working days to the date of the general meeting of shareholders.

For example, the shareholders entitled to receive dividends from the profit made by the company in 2022 were those registered in the shareholders register on May 31, 2023, set as registration date by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of April 24, 2023.
