1. PREAMBLE
Due to its specific scope of business, Transilvania Investments relates both to the Romanian economic and legislative context and also to the regional/global macroeconomic framework, a series of events recorded during 2023 having direct or indirect influences on the results and performance of the Company.
1.1 General macroeconomic context
The year 2023 is characterised by a mix of positive elements. However, several risks have increased, such geopolitical ones, with the on-going Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, whereas tension escalated in the Middle East. At the same time, European economies have faced higher-than- expected levels of inflation and slowdowns in economic growth. In this climate, investors have shown optimism, as evidenced by the rise in stock market indices in the region. As regards Romania, the stock market had an excellent year, the BET index rising by 32% in 2023, and the merger and acquisition market has been buoyant, impact transactions taking place, such as: the takeover of Profi by Mega Image, the takeover of Enel by Public Power Corporation, the merger between Unicredit and Alpha Bank Romania, the purchase of First Bank by Intesa Sanpaolo.
While the budget deficit remained high, the current account deficit narrowed as the balance of goods deficit improved. The EUR-RON exchange rate remained on a stable line and inflation entered a downward curve. With the fiscal measures adopted, the government hopes to reduce the budget deficit, which is doubtful given that 2024 is an election year, with four sets of elections to be held.
In 2023, the GDP growth rate has been +2% (below the European Commission's estimate of economic growth of 2.2%).
Although the consumer price index declined in 2023, from 16.4% in December 2022 to 6.6% at the end of 2023, private consumption grew by only 0.9% at the end of the first three quarters, marking the erosion of household purchasing power. Industrial production did not have a good year in the given European context, dropping by 4.9% in 2023 compared to the previous year.
Although the budget deficit was 5.7% of the GDP in 2023, a positive aspect was generated by increased investment spending, which includes capital spending, as well as spending on development programmes financed from domestic and external sources, which was 38.8% higher in 2023 compared to the previous year.
As the budget deficit deepened, public debt increased in nominal terms (by 16% since the beginning of the year) and now stands at 49.7% of the GDP.
Direct foreign investment decreased by 34% from the previous year amid a significant decrease in intra- group lending.
The real estate market was down in 2023, with the number of transactions 10% lower than in the previous year, according to data published by the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration. At the same time, the number of building permits issued in 2023 was about 21% lower than in 2022.
After the NBR raised its policy rate from 6.75% to 7% in its January 2023 meeting, in subsequent meetings, including the most recent one in mid-February 2024, the NBR decided to keep it at 7%.
Lending slowed, with non-government credit down 0.2% year-on-year in real terms as compared to the previous year, while deposits increased, especially those in RON of residents who recorded a 11.5% real increase in balance. The non-performing loan rate remained stable this year at around 2.33% (in December 2023).

OMV Petrom, together with Romgaz, announced the final investment decision in the Neptun Deep project, amounting to EUR 4 billion (2024-2026). Production is planned to start in 2027.
1.2 Economic growth prospects
Four rounds of election will take place in 2024, and the election year will undoubtedly have an impact on the Romanian business environment. Expected increases in pensions and wages will support private consumption growth at the same time as accelerating government spending.
The energy price cap remains in place until March 2025, which should help private consumption.
The European Commission estimate for Romania's economic growth for 2024 is +2.9%, fuelled by real income growth and government spending.
Inflation, while expected to remain on a downward trend, will remain at high levels without reaching the NBR target, fuelled by consumption growth and high taxes, putting pressure on financing costs. Given that the budget deficit will remain at a high level of around 6% of the GDP, it will continue to be covered by the issuance of public debt, with government bonds having to bear interest rates that investors, especially institutional investors, will find attractive.
As an election year, the EUR-RON exchange rate is also not expected to fluctuate significantly.
In 2024 there will be pressure on financial institutions and oil and gas companies, which are subject to additional turnover tax, in addition to corporate tax.
1.3 Context of the Romanian capital market
The Romanian capital market had a very good year, with the main BET index increasing by 32% and the BET-TR index by 40%, as compared to the previous year. The BET-TR index had the best performance in the region in 2023.
The total trading value recorded on all markets in the year 2023, with all kinds of financial instruments, has surpassed RON 38 billion, 58% higher than in the previous year.
One of the most important events on the Romanian capital market was the initial public offering for Hidroelectrica, the largest such offering ever made on the BSE. The offering for Hidroelectrica attracted a total of RON 9.3 billion. Hidroelectrica debuted on July 12, 2023 on the Regulated Market of the BSE and is the largest Romanian company listed on the BSE in terms of capitalization. Through 11 corporate bonds issued, the issuers brought EUR 1.6 billion, highlighting increased appetite for funding. The Ministry of Finance has also been active in the capital market, attracting EUR 1.9 billion through 20 Fidelis government bonds issued.
Throughout the year 2023, the evolution of shares listed on the regulated market compared to the previous financial year recorded the following significant aspects:
as compared to the same period of the previous year, the value of transactions recorded in 2023 on the regulated segment of the B.S.E. recorded a higher aggregate level;
at the end of the period under review, the market capitalisation of the regulated market was 50% higher than in the same period of the previous year (YoY change).

Throughout the year 2023, the evolution of the main regulated market index BET TOTAL RETURN (calculated in local currency, includes dividends) was positive, recording an increase of 36%. We note the widening gap between the evolution of the local index and the MSCI Frontier Markets evolution, resulting in an overperformance of the local market.

conditions of active and prudent management of the assets held in the business lines (trading, travel and leisure, real estate, industrial and venture capital/private equity).
3.2. Investment entity
Transilvania Investments applies the IFRS standards as the accounting base, in compliance with the requirements of the F.S.A. Rule 39/2015 on approving the Accounting regulations compliant with the International Financial Reporting Standards, applicable to the entities authorised, regulated and supervised by the Financial Supervisory Authority from the financial instruments and investments sector.
I.F.R.S. 10.4 provides certain exceptions from the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, among which the exception applicable to the parent companies which are classified as “investment entities”. Transilvania Investments’s management, as a result of the carried-out analyses, has found that the company complies with the requirements of the definition of an “investment entity” in accordance with I.F.R.S. 10., namely:
i. obtains funds from one or several investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services;
ii. commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds only for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both;
iii. measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
Under these conditions, Transilvania Investments has prepared a single set of financial statements, namely separate financial statements in accordance with I.F.R.S.
As of 1 January 2015, the Company’s financial investments have been measured at fair value. In the light of IFRS 9, as of 1 January 2018, Transilvania Investments has classified its investments in subsidiaries and associated entities, the bonds and the fund units as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. The investments of the company in other equity instruments (other than the associated entities and subsidiaries) are classified as financial assets held at fair value through other comprehensive income and/or financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss.
Transilvania Investments directly provides services related to investment management for its investors, having as main scope exclusively the activities specific to the closed-end investment companies. Transilvania Investments does not provide consultan
cy services for investments and administrative services, whether directly or through a subsidiary, to third parties and/or its investors.
The company applies an exit strategy based on the permanent monitoring of the investments made and on the analysis of the current market situations, in view of obtaining higher yields and meeting the objectives established through the annual revenue and expenditure budgets.
Transilvania Investments presents its strategy to its current and potential investors, relying on specific documents approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders, namely the company Strategy and the Investment Policy Statement.
The company was authorized by the Financial Supervisory Authority as a Retail Investor Alternative Investment Fund (F.I.A.I.R.). The operation of Transilvania Investments as a closed-end type, diversified F.I.A.I.R., set up as an investment company, self-managed, is based on a series of rules regarding the risk profile, investment exposure limits, valuation and reflection of portfolio financial assets in the company's net assets, transparency and reporting obligations.
Annual Report 2023
Page 10/74
Image should be here
Transilvania Investments monitors the structure and performance of its investment portfolio and:
i. publishes monthly the statement of assets and liabilities, respectively reports on the values of N.A.V. and N.A.V. per share, calculated by the company and certified by the depositary (Annex no. 10 according to F.S.A. Regulation no. 7/2020), together with the statement of assets for which valuation methods in accordance with international standards and the fair value principle were taken into account (Annex according to art. 38 paragraph (4) of Law no. 243/2019);
ii. calculates, on a monthly basis, and publishes, quarterly, half-yearly and annually, within the deadline set forth by the applicable legislation in force for publication of the quarterly/half- yearly/annual reports, the detailed statement of investments (Annex no. 11 to the F.S.A. Regulation no. 7/2020).
3.3 Financial assets at fair value
According to IFRS 13, depending on the input data used in the valuation process, the levels of the fair value are defined as follows:
Level 1 input data are (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities which the entity has access to on the measurement date;
Level 2 input data are input data other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 input data are input data unobservable for the asset or the liability.
Setting the materiality of the input data within the process of the fair value measurement in its aggregate requires the use of the professional rationale, considering the specific factors as a result of the complexity implied by the measurement of these investments and also of the reflection of the changes in the fair value in the financial statements. The process of the fair value measurement afferent to the financial instruments held by Transilvania Investments is carried out according to the asset valuation policy, the internal procedures and the related methodology, which consider the portfolio structure, specifics and characteristics.
Under the general concept and according to the rules defined at the level of the fund by its authorisation as a R.I.A.I.F., it was envisaged that stakes in issuers listed on an alternative/multilateral system in Romania would be assimilated to securities with a liquidity considered as irrelevant
for applying the mark-to-market method, the option being that the shares of such companies to be valued on the basis of a valuation report in accordance with the valuation standards in force. For the companies
listed on the main segment of Bucharest Stock Exchange, usually, the trading activity of the shares concerned is considered relevant to apply the mark-to-market method. In specific situations, which do not fall within the general coordinates mentioned above, a prudent judgement is considered with regard to quantitative and/or qualitative aspects of the market and trading activity of the issuer's securities.
In the context of the above and the provisions of art. 114 - (5) of the F.S.A. Regulation no. 9/2014, we mention the following aspects relating to the issuers in the portfolio held as at 31 December 2023 for which the valuation was not carried out on a mark-to-market basis:
within the share portfolio held by Transilvania Investments as at 31 December 2023, for issuers whose shares are admitted to the multilateral trading system of the Bucharest Stock Exchange and traded within a 30 business days period prior to 31 December 2023, presented in the table below, the option of estimating the value on the basis of a valuation report has been maintained;
the analysis of the information on company characteristics and the trading activity of the shares of the respective issuers resulted in a number of aspects and elements that could not be considered relevant for the use of the mark-to-market method;

the summary data of trading indicators or parameters for a 12-month period prior to 2023 reflect: the dominant, control or significant position held by Transilvania Investments as shareholder in the companies, shareholding structures with a high degree of stake concentration which results in a generally low free-float, low number of trading sessions for those companies in the context of the annual trading programme of the B.S.E. or compared to issuers traded in the same segment for which the mark-to-market method was used, certain discontinuities in trading resulting from the existence of time intervals without transactions, low volumes traded compared to the total number of shares of the issuers and/or stakes of Transilvania Investments, low average number of trades in a trading session, lack of presence of the issuers in the composition of some stock indices etc.

By reference to the internal regulations of the company and the portfolio of managed assets whose values are classified on level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, in 2023, the valuation activity was performed internally and in collaboration with third parties, based on a services contract for drafting valuation reports, in the context of the legislative framework and the Valuation Standards in force.

3.5.8. The engagement policy of Transilvania Investments
Transilvania Investments drafted and published on its website the Company engagement policy that describes how the company is involved within the investee companies.
According to this policy, the engagement of Transilvania Investments means:
Monitoring the issuers in which the Company has invested (investee companies) on relevant matters (including strategy, financial and non-financial performance and risks, capital structure, social and environmental impact and corporate governance);
Conducting dialogues with investee companies;
Exercising voting rights and other rights attached to the shares, in order to capitalize on the rights deriving from the investment in the portfolio issuers;
Cooperating with other shareholders, communicating with relevant stakeholders of the investee companies;
Managing actual and potential conflicts of interest related to the engagement of Transilvania Investments.
The main actions carried out in 2023 by Transilvania Investments, according to its engagement policy, have been as follows:
On a quarterly basis, based on the financial reports publicly disseminated at the Buchaest Stock Exchange (BSE), the specialized departments in the company analysed the evolution of the financial indicators of the issuers in the portfolio, the fulfilment of the revenue and expenditure budgets, the implementation of the investment programs, as well as and the positioning of shareholdings in the managed portfolio. Furthermore, the current reports published by
issuers at the BSE were constantly monitored, in order to determine the possible financial impact on the value
of shares issued by these issuers and the current financial result.
Moreover, persons with specific responsibilities within Transilvania Investments Alliance participate in investor meetings, financial results conferences/teleconferences and other investor events organised by investee companies.
The specialized departments of Transilvania Investments, through their designated staff, participated in conference calls or physical events of the issuers whose shares are listed on the regulated market, in which the quarterly/half-yearly or annual financial results and issuer development strategy for the next period were presented (e.g. FP,TLV, BRD, BVB, DIGI, SNP, SNG, HAI etc).
Transilvania Investments also participated in Frontier Investor Days Conference, organized by Wood & Company, in September 2023, where they participated in presentations and discussions both with issuers from the portfolio, as well as with other issuers that might be of investment interest, such as: H2O, BRD, TLV, WINE, SNG, BVB, M, SNP, ONE, FP, DIGI, TRP etc.
Throughout 2023, Transilvania Investments actively exercised its voting right in a professional manner in the general meetings of the shareholders of the portfolio companies,
for purposes of defending the company interests and of its shareholders in the investee companies.
Thus, based on the analyses performed by the specialised departments and approved by the company's Board, documents were issued for participation and exercise of voting rights for a number of 89 Ordinary General Meetings of Shareholders and 44 Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders.
At the same time, it was decided not to issue participation/voting documents for 71 Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders, as the items on the agenda did not impact the corporate interests of Transilvania Investments.

Moreover, with regard to the portfolio companies in which it is the majority shareholder, Transilvania Investments has defined a new business strategy, with a focus on the travel and leisure sector, a sector that holds an important share of the portfolio managed by the company, which aims to develop plans to streamline the management of companies in this sector, so that the increased interest in domestic tourism is exploited to its full potential. Considering the contribution of partners specialised in this sector, new performance criteria have been defined for these companies, criteria that are directly implemented by Transilvania Investments at the time of establishing and preparing the voting options during the general meetings.
As regards companies with an industrial profile, options for restructuring and making their activity more efficient are considered, by adopting policies to create a sustainable framework for the activity of companies with such a typical profile, either by restructuring their production activity in order to reduce its impact, or by reconfiguring their activity to ensure the most efficient use of their resources to ensure the best use identified in the context in which they are placed.
Also, the options for accessing programmes financed from various sources, such as non-reimbursable funds, NRRP, grants, state aid schemes, PPP programmes etc. are constantly monitored by Transilvania Investments for the continuation of investment programmes targeting the companies in Transilvania Investments' portfolio.
In the case of employees of the company who are part of the Boards of Directors of the companies in the portfolio, in order to avoid conflicts of interest, they may not participate in the elaboration and signing of the analyses concerning such companies.

Assessment of the technical level of the Company
The Company has the appropriate technical equipment to fulfil its activity scope and it permanently cares for its renewal and maintenance to ensure the best operating conditions.
In 2023, Transilvania Investments has planned and started a process of IT infrastructure transformation, so that it improves service delivery and access to IT resources regardless of location, transparently and securely in line with ISO 27001.
Thus, in 2023, the company's existing equipment was installed in the two locations, Brașov and Bucharest, into a professional DataCenter, and an own IT&C system was implemented to increase the level of security and control of information and data managed by employees, partners and collaborators.
To this end, several solutions have been implemented to achieve these objectives, such as visualisation solutions from the DataCenter, storage, authentication and authorisation, anywhere-anywhere login, filesharing, antivirus/antispyware/antiransomware, patch & vulnerability management, New DataCenter backup, log centralization and event correlation and reporting.
At the same time, the Disaster Recovery Solution was implemented for Transilvania Investments, through which a replication is performed using specific technologies that transfer data stored at virtual machine level, according to specific RPO (Recovery Point Objective) parameters. The connection between the Main Datacenter and the Disaster Recovery site is made via a dedicated line, which replicates the virtual machines and also transfers the backups.
Also, to better organise technical support from an IT point of view, and in order to have a centralization and an accurate categorization of the problems occurred, a ticketing system was implemented.

Perspective elements regarding the company’s activity
After a difficult year 2022, marked by military turmoil and record global inflation for the last half century, 2023 was one of the most prolific years for capital markets. At the end of 2022, many analysts were anticipating a global recession in 2023. In the past, such rapid and significant increases in key interest rates, as we have seen in the last two years in the US and Europe, have caused an economic downturn. However, with the global economy remaining robust and therefore increasingly arguing against a recession, the „soft landing” scenario has become increasingly likely. The recent past has shown that businesses, consumers and, as a result, the economy have become far more resilient than the daily news would often suggest.
In 2023, Bucharest Stock Exchange recorded an exceptional performance of +40% (BET-TR); in addition, the long-awaited event took place, the listing of Hidroelectrica, which attracted new institutional and retail investors. The amounts invested by them in the Hidroelectrica IPO covered approximatively RON 9.3 billion (EUR 1.9 billion), making this listing the largest offering in Europe and the third largest in the world in 2023. This event helped the Bucharest Stock Exchange become much more visible among investors, taking a step towards the much-desired emerging market status of Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI). The Romanian market is currently classified as a frontier market and places our country alongside Vietnam, Marocco, Iceland, Kazakhstan etc. A possible promotion would place us next to countries like Poland, Czech Republic, Turkey, Greece, Hungary etc., and the beneficial effects would be seen in an improved valuation of local companies with increased liquidity and new capital inflows.
Looking ahead, 2024 looks set to be a volatile year, marked by a multitude of elections, both domestic and foreign, which may influence the direction of financial markets. The central banks' efforts to fight inflation have been winning, with local inflation on a downward slope during 2023, but tax hikes have re-fuelled the inflationary spike which may lead to a postponement of interest rate cuts. Inflation in both the US and the Euro area looks set to move into the Fed's and ECB's target range of 2%, and markets expect them to lower benchmark interest rates starting this year. Similarly, the National Bank of Romania has managed through a restrictive monetary policy to bring down inflation over the last 12 months and is in a similar position to the FED and ECB in reducing interest rates. These elements lean more towards a cautiously optimistic outlook, and as long as the image of a "soft landing" dominates the economy, equities could be more attractive than bonds.
Thus, t he activity carried out by Transilvania Investments and, implicitly, the evolution of the portfolio managed remains connected to the internal, as well as the external macroeconomic context. This is also emphasized by the objectives set out in the Investment policy statement for 2020-2024, i.e. the goal of turning the managed portfolio into a proxy for the overall evolution of the local economy, by specifically taking advantage of the potential provided by a number of sectors considered strategic, such as the financial, tourism and real estate sectors.
The Government bonds from Transilvania Investments portfolio, purchased as a tool for expansion or protection against stock market declines, can provide an attractive yield should the Romanian economy suffer, and if inflation continues to rise, their yields can provide protection against capital erosion. The high

liquidity of these securities ensures a much faster freedom of movement by generating cash available to be used according to the opportunities that may arise in the market throughout the year.
Moreover, Transilvania Investments will actively manage the Company’s liquidity conditions in the light of the general economic context and specific market situation, acting so that the main objectives provided in the Investment Policy Statement 2020-2024, the Strategy for 2020-2024 and the Revenue and expenditure budget for the year 2024 are met. Through the main action lines, the restructuring of the managed portfolio, the maintaining of the company’s status as an investment entity which measures and evaluates the performance of its investments on a fair value basis and the strategy on shareholder remuneration will be carried on.

The Company's strategy with regard to the remuneration of its shareholders focuses on the implementation of a balanced remuneration policy that addresses both direct remuneration (dividend income) and indirect remuneration (capital gain facilitated by the reduction of the trading discount).
With regards to the dividend policy promoted, Transilvania Investments aims to increase the attractiveness of TRANSI shares, by ensuring a permanent balance between the remuneration of the company shareholders and the financial resources needed to carry out the annual investment programmes, in line with the medium to long-term investment objectives.
The dividend policy is adapted to and reflects the general and specific conditions of the environment in which the Company operates, namely the macroeconomic context (regional, national), the state and evolution of the capital market (trend, liquidity), the financial performances of the issuers in the managed portfolio and implicitly the policy of these issuers regarding the remuneration of their shareholders.
The distribution of the Company profit is submitted annually to the General Meeting of Shareholders for approval. The Company's proposal for profit distribution/dividend distribution is presented to the shareholders by the Company's Executive Board.
In the event that, in full accordance with the general macroeconomic and investment context, the Company identifies investment opportunities that could lead to an increase in the net asset value and in the market price of TRANSI shares, the Company may consider proposing to allocate the entire profit to legal reserves and/or other own financing sources, based on the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. The grounds for this decision will be set out in the annual proposal for the profit distribution.
For the period 2020-2024, in close correlation with the level of existing liquidity, the stage of the restructuring process of the managed portfolio and the requirements for securing the necessary resources to carry out the investment programmes, the Company is considering a mix of complementary instruments to remunerate the capital invested in TRANSI shares, namely:
The distribution of cash dividends carrying an attractive return by reference to the average trading price recorded in the financial year for which the dividend is calculated;
The carrying out of share buy-back programmes, followed by the cancellation of shares and reduction of the Company's share capital, subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders.

Shareholder remuneration in 2023 was aimed at implementing both components of the above-mentioned mix of instruments, i.e. the distribution of dividends and the implementation of a share buy-back programme to reduce share capital.
Regarding the distribution of dividends , the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 24 April 2023
approved the distribution from the company's net profit for the year 2022 of a gross dividend of RON 0.0140/share, which provides:
a 4.9% yield by reference to the average trading price of the TRANSI shares on the BVB-REGS market in 2022 (yield within the maximum range set out in the shareholder remuneration policy);
a 47.5% dividend payout ratio from the net profit (higher than the ratio set out in the shareholder remuneration policy).
Shareholders entitled to receive dividends for the year 2022 are shareholders registered in the Shareholders Register on 31 May 2023, set as the record date. Dividend payments began on 23 June 2023 ( payment date ) and is carried out through the Depozitarul Central and Banca Transilvania. According to the legal provisions and those of the company's Articles of incorporation, the time limit after which the entitlement to the dividends afferent to the year 2022 lapses is 22 June 2026.

With regard to the implementation of share buy-back programmes, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 24 April 2023 approved the carrying-out of two buy-back programmes, for up to 20 million shares, of which one programme aims at the buying-back of 12 million shares, in order to reduce the share capital by cancelling bought-back shares. Between 8 December 2023 - 6 February 2024, the company carried out first stage of the afore-mentioned buy-back programme, under which it redeemed 4,000,000 own shares representing 0.1849% of the share capital, through transactions at the BSE, for purposes of reducing the share capital. The completion of this programme is expected during 2024.

Moreover, the synthetic diagram of the exposures to various financial assets and activities registered by Transilvania Investments was prepared monthly, according to the Law no. 243/2019. Throughout 2023, the level of shareholdings in various financial instruments was within the limits set forth by the legislation in force.
In accordance with its risk management policies and procedures, Transilvania Investments performed crisis simulations under normal and exceptional market conditions, which would allow the assessment of market risk, as well as under normal and exceptional liquidity conditions, which would allow the assessment of liquidity risk.
In crisis simulations, the impact of stress scenarios, both under normal and exceptional conditions, was estimated on each financial instrument in the portfolio to which the stress factor can be applied, and these effects were summed to determine the cumulative impact of a factor on total assets value, net asset value and unitary net asset value.
The results of the stress tests were presented to the management structures and will be considered when establishing the coordinates of the investment/disinvestment program related to the financial year 2024, when implementing the Investment Strategy and for the synchronization of investments.
The internal audit function at Transilvania Investments is separate and independent from other functions and activities of the company, the audit activity being organised by contracting the services of an individual or legal entity auditor.

terrorist financing), the activity of the IT Department (internal policies and procedures, physical security of equipment, user access to IT applications, database management, business continuity plan, segregation of duties).
The internal audit activity, carried out throughout 2023, was verified by the Audit Committee, which found no irregularities or inaccuracies in the content of the reports submitted to the Supervisory Board and, consequently, the way the internal audit missions were carried out was validated.
7.10 Assessment of the company’s activity regarding the risk management
The risk management activity is reflected in the Company's organizational and operational structure and covers both general risks and specific risks, as provided by Law no. 297/2004 on the capital market, as subsequently amended and supplemented, Law no. 74/2015 on alternative investment fund managers, F.S.A. Regulation no. 9/2014 on the authorisation and operation of Investment Management Companies, Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities and of the Depositaries of Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities, amended and supplemented, F.S.A. Regulation no. 10/2015 regarding the management of the alternative investment funds , F.S.A. Rule no. 4/2018 regarding the management of operational risks generated by computer systems used by entities authorized/endorsed/registered and/or supervised by the Financial Supervisory Authority , Law no. 243/2019 on the regulation of alternative investment funds, as well as amending and supplementing regulations .
In the process of identifying and assessing the financial risks, as well as the indicators used in risk management, the following were also considered: EU Directive 2011/61 on alternative investment fund managers (DAFIA), EU (delegated) Regulation no. 231/2013 supplementing Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and Council with regard to the derogations, general operating conditions, depositories, leverage effect, transparency and supervision, Directive no.
2013/36/EU
on the access to the activity of credit institutions and prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment companies (on capital adequacy) and EU Regulation no. 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment companies.
Upon selecting the approach regarding the financial and operational risks management, the following were considered: the authorisation of the company acting as Alternative Investment Fund Manager (A.I.F.M.) and the company’s classification in the provisions of the EU Directive 2011/61 on alternative investment fund managers (DAFIA - transposed into national legislation by Law no. 74/2015), the references in DAFIA to Directive
2013/36/EU
, the risk management requirements set out in the EU Regulation no. 231/2013, as well as the elements of similarity and difference between a financial investment company and other financial institutions.
The Company’s management analyses and approves on annual basis the risk management policy and the measures, procedures and techniques for the enforcement of said policy, including the risk limits system; it also assesses, monitors and revises, at least once a year, the risk management systems, according to the provisions of EU Regulation 231/2013.
The Executive Board of Transilvania Investments is constantly seeking to minimize the potential adverse effects associated with the financial risks the company is exposed to, through an active policy of prudential diversification of the portfolio, and using one or more techniques to mitigate the risk depending on the dynamics of trading venues and market price trends related to financial instruments held by the Company.
Also, the Executive Board seeks to continuously achieve the highest level of diversification of exposures to both categories of financial assets / transactions and the exposure structure to financial risks. For this purpose, the exposure diversification policy is implemented on the following levels:
Annual Report 2023
Page 65/74
Image should be here
- portfolio diversification by avoiding excessive exposure to a borrower, category of financial asset, issuer, category of financial transactions, country or geographic region;
- financial risks diversification which aims to avoid excessive exposure to a certain type of financial risk.
In order to achieve the highest level of diversification on the levels presented above, the Executive Board has initiated an extensive restructuring and repositioning process of the portfolio and reshaping of the business policies.
Transilvania Investments has implemented, at company level, a risk management system that includes policies, procedures and measures to identify, measure and manage risks. The risk management policies and procedures are part of the " Policies and procedures regarding the functioning of the company as an A.I.F.M." . According to internal policies and procedures, the internal risk management system integrates competences and responsibilities across the whole organizational structure (Supervisory Board, Executive Board, Risk Management Department, Compliance Department, Internal Auditor, Operational Departments). Procedures are established to manage and monitor all relevant risk categories at the company level (market risk, credit risk, investment concentration risk, liquidity risk, operational risk).
At company level, the Risk Management Department - which is operationally and hierarchically separated from the other operational departments of Transilvania Investments, including from the portfolio management function, so that to allow the independent and efficient performance of the risk management activities and the avoidance of conflicts of interests - monitors the risks related to the activity, some of them being:
Market risk
The market risk is monitored on sub-categories: position risk, foreign exchange risk, commodity risk and long-term interest risk. At the company level, the market risks are at a low level considering the impact they may have over the assets held within the quantitative approach based on capital requirements. Market risk indicators relevant to Transilvania Investments are also used within an approach based on internally set limits, such as VaR (Value at Risk) for the portfolio of assets listed on a regulated market and VUAN volatility.
Throughout 2023, the maximum internally set limit of the VaR indicator was 25%; this limit was not exceeded in the period under review. We note that the VaR indicator also falls within the forecasted level estimated in the 2023 crisis simulation (which considered both the reaction of the market value of the share portfolio listed on a regulated market to a decline in local capital market indices, as well as to a decline of an issuer with a significant portfolio share (TLV).
Given the current investment context, characterized by a high degree of unpredictability, we believe that a high level of volatility can characterize a series of trading environments.
Throughout 2023, market crisis simulations were carried out in accordance with the Policies and Procedures on the company’s functioning as an A.I.F.M.
Credit risk (of creditworthiness of the companies in Transilvania Investments portfolio).
Considering that the Company, due to its activity, has long-term exposures to securities issued by financial and non-financial entities, the company management constantly seeks the level of the credit risk to which Transilvania Investments is exposed remains at a prudent and manageable level.
Thus, the Company Management uses, on a case-by-case basis, in accordance to the issuer’s characteristics, proper instruments for diminishing the credit risk, and also permanently monitor its financial evolution.
Annual Report 2023
Page 66/74

As of now, the company has not used financial derivatives in order to decrease the credit risk associated with the exposure to a debtor.
Liquidity risk
The Company monitors both the liquidity risk related to the financial instruments portfolio and the risk related to the coverage of the liquidity needs, the latter being monitored on the following sub-categories: risk of not covering the current liquidity requirement, without considering the uncashed dividends (net LCR), risk of not covering the liquidity requirements, by considering the uncashed dividends (gross LCR), risk of long-term asset funding from resources other than permanent resources. Throughout 2023, the level of these indicators fallen within the limits set internally by Transilvania Investments. On 31 December 2023, the company had two outstanding loans contracted.
Throughout 2023, the company carried out crisis simulations, in accordance with the Policies and Procedures on the company operation as an A.I.F.M., updated with the provisions of the F.S.A. Rule no. 39/2019 on enforcing the ESMA guide regarding the cash crisis simulations in UCITS and A.I.F.s.
Concentration risk
The concentration risk monitoring considers to all assets in the Company’s portfolio. The Company monitors both the risk related to concentration on categories of assets, entities, and the exposures recorded by Transilvania Investments to various financial operations from the perspective of the requirements provided by the legislation in force. By carrying on the portfolio restructuring, the Company avoids high exposures to an issuer.
Operational risk
The operational risks take into consideration the potential losses caused by either the use of certain improper processes, internal systems or human resources that are not able to fulfil their duties in a proper manner, or external events and actions, the legal risk being also included under this category. The Company continuously monitors its IT internal systems, internal processes, human resources and legal processes. These risks register low levels and are being managed by the organizational departments of the company, in accordance with the risk management policy approved by the Company.
In accordance with the legal provisions on the management of operational risks generated by computer systems used by the entities regulated, authorized/approved and/or supervised by the F.S.A.,
Transilvania Investments carried out throughout 2023 the internal assessment of such risks.
Investment limitations
With regard to the monitoring of exposures to a particular category of financial assets, to an issuer or to a certain category of transactions, the following indicators are constantly monitored by the company:
1. The level of holdings of securities and/or money market instruments issued by the same issuer, excluding securities or money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a Member State, by the local public authorities of the member state, a third state or international public bodies to which one or more member states belong. The value of holdings in the same issuer shall not exceed 10% of the total assets held. The percentage may be increased to up to 40% if the total securities held in each of the issuers where the company holds more than 40% of the total assets does not exceed the limit of 80%. On 31 December 2023, the 16.69% of total assets held by Banca Transilvania complies with the legal regulations, considering that the total level of securities, held with each issuer, in which it holds over 40%, as compared to the total assets held, is 51.24%.
2. The level of holdings of financial instruments issued by entities belonging to the same group. The value of this indicator should not exceed 50% of the total assets held. On 31 December 2023, the level of Transilvania Investments’ s holdings of financial instruments in this category is 2.33%, comprising the

The monthly analyses of the types of exposures showed that, throughout 2023, the portfolio of financial instruments managed by Transilvania Investments has complied with the requirements of Law no. 243/2019.
The risk analyses performed at the end of 2023 indicate the following risk profile for Transilvania Investments:
As of 31.12.2023, the leverage ratio, determined in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) no. 231/2013 supplementing Directive 2011/61/EU with regard to exemptions, general operating conditions, depositaries, leverage, transparency and supervision, by using both methods, was low, according to the materiality threshold. Given that Transilvania Investments does not have any derivative items, the amount of the leverage ratio indicator, using the commitment method, does not differ significantly from the leverage ratio using the gross method (no compensation is made between long and short positions; gross method= 1.02, commitment method= 1.05).

At the same time, the Company continually updates and monitors the processes, systems and internal mechanisms to reduce the operational risk as much as possible. In this respect, the Company has implemented a system for monitoring and reporting the operational risk on three levels, namely: (i) first line of defence: identification of operational risks at the level of organizational structures, (ii) second line of defence: management of operational risks within the Risk Management Office with reporting, through risk reports, to the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, (iii) third line of defence (defensive line): The Internal Audit examines, on a regular basis, the fulfilment of the risk management position.
All the tools and techniques of risk assessment and management used by the Company were developed and implemented to ensure an effective management of the risks incurred by Transilvania Investments and implicitly, by reaching this goal, to obtain an average risk profile in line with the business strategy approved by the Supervisory Board and implemented by the Executive Board.
8. ESG ASPECTS WITHIN TRANSILVANIA INVESTMENTS
General framework
The (EU) Regulation 2019/2088 establishes for financial market participants and financial advisors regulations on transparency with regards to sustainability related disclosures in the financial services sector, consideration of the adverse effects on sustainability in their activities and disclosure of sustainability information on financial products.
Sustainability factors cover environmental, social and labour issues, observance of human rights, fighting corruption and bribery issues.
Sustainability-related risk means an environmental, social or governance (ESG) event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or potential material adverse effect on the value of the investment made by the Company.
Investment decisions are usually based on several factors and such risks are likely to materialise over a longer time horizon. It is important to recognise that considering longer-term sustainability interests is economically viable and does not necessarily lead to different returns for investors.
Environmental, social and governance issues (E - environmental; S - social; G - governance) imply, for example, for environmental goals: efficient use of energy resources, renewable energy, raw materials, water and land, in waste production and greenhouse gas emissions, for social goals: contributions to fighting against inequality or promoting social cohesion, social inclusion and labour relations or investment in human capital, and for goals related to good governance practices: compliance with international agreements, compliance with AML issues, fighting against corruption.
Transilvania Investments developed a policy on integrating sustainability risks into the investment decision- making process, and according to the
Investment Policy Statement 2020-2024
(I.P.S.), approved by the
shareholders in December 2020 and further revised based on the resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 28 April 2022, the aim is to gradually introduce E.S.G. factors into the analysis prior to investment operations.
According to its
ESG policy
, the company does not integrate sustainability risks into its investment
decisions, but considers the need for regular reassessment to be important.
Annual Report 2023
Page 70/74

However, relevant available information can be considered and integrated into investment decision s, including those indicating potential adverse effects on sustainability factors (in principle, this information could be considered as favouring non-investment or exit from an investment, as appropriate).
At the same time, the company does not take into account the adverse effects of investment decisions on sustainability factors as, given the structure and specifics of the managed portfolio, there is no published information to analyse the impact of investment decisions on sustainability factors.
The reasons for not integrating sustainability risks into its investment decisions and not considering the adverse effects of investment decisions on sustainability factors include:
- Currently, the information available from credible sources, necessary to determine whether an economic activity qualifies as sustainable and contributes substantially to one or more of the sustainability goals, may be incomplete.
- Small number of issuers required/choosing to publish non-financial information.
- Difficulty in obtaining data from issuers or providing inaccurate information.
- Lack of certainty as to whether the risks can be accurately and fully assessed based upon such information.
- The complexity of applicable regulations requires time to ensure the adequacy of the sustainability risk analysis and reporting processes.
In line with the Investment Policy Statement 2020-2024 and the ESG policy, Transilvania Investments intends to gradually consider the adverse effects of investment decisions on sustainability factors. Thus, the timing of consideration of these impacts depends on the extent to which portfolio companies or companies of interest for future investment will provide sufficient and appropriate information for relevant analysis or will be assessed on the basis of an ESG rating.

2. Remuneration of the Company’s management
The remuneration of the Supervisory Board members and Executive Board members is carried out in accordance with the company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Remuneration policy, approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 28.04.2021 and revised by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 28.04.2022, and the share buy-back programmes for the implementation of the annual Stock Option Plans (SOP), approved by the general meeting of shareholders.
The remuneration policy was drafted in compliance with the provisions of Law no. 74/2015 on alternative investment fund managers , the ESMA Guide 232/2013 and Law no. 24/2017 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations . The remuneration policy is available on the Company’s website, along with the result of the shareholders' vote.
The variable component of the remuneration is determined by reference to the financial and non-financial performance indicators. The remuneration and benefits granted to the members of the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board, according to the provisions of the management/mandate contract, will be presented in the audited annual financial statements, in the Annual Report of the Remuneration Committee and in the Report of the Supervisory Board/Executive Board.
According to the Remuneration policy, the total annual remuneration consists in a fixed component and a variable component. There is an adequate balance between the fixed and variable component of the total remuneration. The fixed component accounts for a sufficiently high percentage out of the total remuneration, which provides the Company with full flexibility as concerns the policy of granting the variable component. The variable remuneration represents an occasional component of the total annual remuneration that can exclusively reward the performance of the company's staff.

2.1. Fixed remuneration
It is the fixed component of the remuneration, not conditioned by the fulfilment of certain performance criteria, whose main element consists of the salaries or indemnities granted in accordance with the management/mandate contract.
The Company intends to provide a competitive basic remuneration, aligned to the market practices, considering the focus on the variable component of the remuneration.
The level of the fixed (basic) remuneration is determined by considering the relevant professional experience and the responsibilities within the company (level of undertaken risk and decision, liability, authority and control) for each position within the organisational structure of the Company.
For each position within the company’s organisational structure, roles and responsibilities are clearly defined together with a set of skills and competencies necessary to hold the concerned position.
The level of fixed remuneration of the Supervisory Board members and the Executive Board members for the year 2023 was the following:
-
The monthly remuneration of the Supervisory Board members was approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders dated 28.04.2022 as follows: 3.5 company-average gross salaries for each member of the Board, 4 company-average gross salaries for the deputy chairman and 5 company- average gross salaries for the chairman.
-
The limits of the monthly remuneration of the Executive Board members, according to the remuneration policy, are as follows: between 7 and 9 company-average gross salaries for the president, between 4 and 6 company-average gross salaries for the executive vice-presidents. The actual level of remuneration is established by the mandate contracts.
2.2. Variable remuneration
Variable remuneration is an additional payment or indemnity paid by the Company by considering performance criteria, being intended to recognize the performance of the identified staff within a certain period, and it is a differential element of the remuneration package.
The variable remuneration is granted by complying with the following general limitation: the total variable remuneration shall not exceed 1.2% of the average total asset value afferent to the year for which the variable remuneration is established, value calculated and reported in accordance with the legal provisions in force.
The members of the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board have the right to receive variable remuneration in the form of shares issued by the Company, within Stock Option Plan (S.O.P.) programs approved by the shareholders on annual basis, by complying with the legal provisions in force on variable remuneration applicable to A.I.F.M.
The eligibility conditions for the annual payment of the variable remuneration consider:
Individual performance, regarding both annual objectives (KPI) and Company performance
Operational (non-financial) performance
General achievements in the field of social responsibility.
The measurement of the risk-aligned performance is carried out in an adequate framework to guarantee that the assessment process is based on performance and that the actual payment of the variable remuneration components which depend on performance is carried out for a period which considers the Company’s policies and their attached risks.

3. Contribution to the long-term performance of the Company
The performance is assessed within a multi-annual framework to ensure that the assessment process is based on long-term performance results. The outcomes of the assessment process are the basis of the motivational policies, which include granting a variable remuneration. The remuneration granted according to the Remuneration Policy actively contributes to the long-term performance of the company, falling within the multi-annual performance indicator provided in Chap. IV of the Fund Strategy and the Investment Policy Statement.
Regarding the multi-annual framework, the Company’s Investment Policy Statement establishes an investment horizon between 2020 2024. Thus, during the mentioned investment horizon, Transilvania Investments aims to align its activity with the following performance indicator (K.P.I.): Increase in the Net Asset Value by at least 30%, increase calculated before any distribution of dividends and/or other forms of shareholder remuneration 1 .
The total variable remuneration is calculated so that it is in direct connection to both the individual performance level that is reached and:
The performance of the operational department which the staff member is part of (as the case may be);
The global performance of the Company, also existing the possibility of non-payment of the variable component, in case of an unsatisfactory performance.
The total remuneration granted complies with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, respectively the variable remuneration related to the year 2022 is granted in the form of shares issued by the Company and will be paid as follows:
60% of the variable remuneration is the initial component and the 40% of the variable remuneration is subject to the deferral period;
The deferral period is of three years;
The 40% component, subject to the deferral period, is proportionally granted at the end of each of the three years n+1, n+2 and n+3, where “n” is the year for which the performance is assessed in order to establish the variable remuneration, according to Annex no. 1, as follows:
- 13.4% of the deferred variable share shall be paid in n+1;
- 13.4% of the deferred variable share shall be paid in n+2;
- 13.3% of the deferred variable share shall be paid in n+3;
- “n” is the accrual period (the year for which the variable remuneration is granted).
4. Performance criteria
In the process of assessing the individual performance, both quantitative (financial) criteria and qualitative (non-financial) criteria are considered.
QUANTITATIVE CRITERIA - are financial indicators used to establish the variable remuneration of an identified staff member. Quantitative criteria
cover a period which is long enough to properly reflect the risk of the staff member’s actions.
QUALITATIVE CRITERIA - cover a period which is long enough to properly reflect the risk of the staff member’s actions, and they differ from the quantitative criteria. The qualitative criteria for each category of identified staff are described in the remuneration policy.
1 The reference level is represented by the net asset value afferent to the financial statements as at 30.06.2020 and covers the period until 30.06.2024.

Through the Incentive and Reward Plan of the identified personnel by granting free shares ("Stock Option Plan") for the year 2022 , the Company sought the stimulation, retention and rewarding of the Company’s identified key personnel.
Rewarding by shares is a good international practice and an effective tool for making the staff responsible and co-interested in the achievement of long-term business objectives and it is intended to reward the beneficiaries' contribution to the development of the Company in the financial year 2022 and to stimulate their retention in the Company, so that they continue to contribute to the Company’s development and the achievement of its business objectives, generating added value.
The Plan represents the implementation of the Company's Remuneration Policy and the Resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 28.04.2022, by which the shareholders approved the running of a buy-back programme of the Company’s own shares, in order to be distributed free of charge to the Supervisory Board members, the Executive Board members and the identified personnel, within a Stock Option Plan program, in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy.
In accordance with the Incentive and Reward Plan of the identified personnel by granting free shares ("Stock Option Plan") for the year 2022 , vesting is conditional on the cumulative fulfilment of certain criteria. Following the assessment of the fulfilment of the performance indicators for the year 2022 by the identified personnel, the shares granted as part of the Plan for the year 2022 were allotted free of charge. In this respect, the Company published on 20.06.2023 the Information document regarding the free allotment of shares to the identified personnel of Transilvania Investments Alliance S.A., based on which the initial component of 60% of the variable remuneration was transferred to the beneficiaries. The 40% difference was transferred to a fiduciary-lawyer and will be released in the period 2024-2026.

All possible care has been taken to ensure that the translation is an accurate representation of the original. However, in all matters of interpretation of information, views or opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.1 Basis of preparation (continued)
The Amendments introduced an exception to the principle from IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements", under which all subsidiaries must be consolidated. The Amendments define an investment entity and provide that a parent company that is classified as investment entity has to measure the subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss instead of consolidating those subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements, as such the Company no longer consolidates subsidiaries and associates and prepares only separate financial statements. The Company does not have any subsidiary providing services that relate to the investment Company’s investment activities. The management of Transilvania Investments assesses annually whether the Company is still an investment entity.
2.2 Basis of measurement
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income and for the fair value revaluation of land and buildings.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue its activity in the foreseeable future as well. The Company’s management considers that the Company will continue to operate normally in the future and, consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on this basis.
2.3 Foreign currency translation
a) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency is the Romanian leu (“RON). This is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company performs its activity. The financial statements are prepared and presented in RON, unless otherwise stated.
b) Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into RON currency at the official exchange rate of the National Bank of Romania (“NBR”) at the end of the reporting period. The translation to the official exchange rate at the end of the reporting period is not applied to non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost.
The exchange rate of major foreign currencies was:

d) As part of “Gains less losses from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax” for the gains or losses on the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
2.4 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of management estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements, as well as the following year reported value of the assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions associated with these are based on historical experience and other factors deemed reasonable in light of the given circumstances, and the result of this considerations represents the basis for the judgements used when establishing the accounting value of the assets and liabilities for which no other valuation sources are available. The results obtained may differ from the value of the estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are periodically reviewed. The revisions of accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current period and following periods.
Change in estimates, in its nature, is not related to prior periods and is not a correction of errors.
To the extent these kinds of change in estimates give rise to changes in assets and liabilities or equity, the effect of changes is recognized by adjusting the carrying amount of the related assets, liabilities or equity item in the period of the change.
The main notes that present estimates with material impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are:
Note 3.1 – Measurement as investment entity;
Note 10 – Current income and deferred tax;
Note 24 – Revaluation reserve for property, plant and equipment;
Note 30 – Fair values of financial assets and liabilities;
Note 31 – Risk management;
Note 33 – Commitments and contingencies.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.5 Going concern
The Company closely monitors the development of the economic environment and the effects of the economic measures applied at national and international level. However, the Company's management considers that the monitoring process entails a series of specific difficulties, considering the fact that it still expects an economic environment that can cross periods of high volatility and an increased degree of unpredictability.
In its capacity as investment fund authorized as an A.I.F.M. by the competent authorities, Transilvania Investments developed procedures regarding the carrying out of its activity in crisis conditions. The entire activity of crisis management is done procedurally and proactively in order to reduce the adverse effects that may be generated by such situations.
In this respect, the management of Transilvania Investments, through stress tests (crisis simulations) performed in accordance with the applicable legal framework, regularly tests negative scenarios that could have an impact on the result of the year, on the net asset value and on the company's operations. The most recent crisis simulation was conducted in November 2023 and targeted also exceptional market conditions, identifying market stressors that could impact the portfolio of listed shares, and those events that, although relatively rare, could have a significant impact on the company's operations. Multiple scenarios have been developed for both market risk and liquidity risk, and the results of the crisis simulations are considered appropriate for the construction and execution of revenue and expenditure budgets and investment programs.
The plan of measures generated at the level of the Transilvania Investments portfolio is built and implemented in dynamics, based on the following main coordinates:
- Analysis of both the industries in the portfolio and the holdings, in order to identify, monitor and manage the risk (considering aspects related to the loss of customers, difficulties in sales and supply, restructuring or temporary cessation of activity, impact on human resources and key staff, security measures imposed by the requirement of ensuring the continuity of the activity and of ensuring the liquidities, of the identification of opportunities generated by the current context);
- Monitoring the action plans taken by the decision makers at the level of each holding in the portfolio;
- The increased importance of dividend-generating holdings, which in the context of the accentuated volatility of the market generate attractive investment returns.
In conclusion, Transilvania Investments constantly monitors the evolution of events, identifies the best measures and has the capacity to ensure the continuity of the activity in terms of profitability. All measures are taken to ensure the flow of liquidity that allows compliance with all commitments made to investors and / or business partners.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.6 General consideration regarding the accounting policies applied
If a standard or interpretation specifically applies to a transaction, to another event or a condition, then the accounting policies applied to that element, are considered selected through the application of the standard or of the respective interpretation, taking into account any implementation guidance issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for the standard or interpretation in question.
The change of an accounting policy is permitted only under one of the following conditions:
the change is imposed by a standard or an interpretation;
the change will provide more reliable and relevant information on the effects of transactions, events and conditions.
Any significant errors of the previous period identified with regards to the recognition, valuation, presentation or disclosure of financial statements elements must be corrected retroactively in the first financial statements that are authorized for issuance through:
adjusting the comparatives for the previous period or periods in which the error was identified; or
adjusting the initial balances of the assets, liabilities and equity, for the most distant period presented, if the error has occurred before the most distant period presented.
2.7 Presentation of financial statements
The financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The Company has adopted a presentation based on liquidity in the Statement of financial position and a presentation of the revenue and expenses according to their nature in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, considering that these methods of presentation provide information that is more relevant than other methods that have been allowed by IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”.

The other presentation requirements are mandatory for the annual periods from or after 1 January 2023.
IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” issued by IASB on 18 May 2017. The new standard provides that insurance obligations need to be assessed at a current value of achievement and provides a more uniform valuation and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are designed to obtain a consistent accounting of insurance contracts based on principles. IFRS 17 prevails over IFRS 4 „S” insurance contracts and related interpretations when applied. Amendments to IFRS 17 „S” insurance contracts issued by IASB on 25 June 2020 defer the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

IFRS 16 “Leasing contracts” amendments - Leases in a sale and leaseback transaction issued by IASB on 22 September 2022. The amendments to IFRS 16 require the lessee to subsequently assess lease liabilities arising from a leaseback transaction in such a way that it does not recognise any gains or losses related to the right retained use. The new requirements do not prevent the seller-tenant from recognising in the profit and loss account gains or losses from the partial or total termination of a lease.
IAS 1 „Presentation of financial statements” amendments - Classification of short-term liabilities and long-term liabilities issued by IASB on 23 January 2020, and IAS 1 „Presentation of financial statements” amendments - Long-term liabilities with financial indicators issued by IASB on 31 October 2022. The amendments issued in January 2020 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 from existing contractual agreements at the reporting date. The amendments issued in October 2022 clarify how the conditions that an entity is required to comply with within twelve months of the reporting period affect the classification of a liability and set the date entry into force for both amendments to the annual periods from or after 1 January 2024.

IFRS 14 „Postponement accounts related to regulated activities” issued by IASB on 30 January 2014. This standard is intended to enable entities that first adopt IFRS, and currently recognise deferral accounts for regulated activities under generally accepted prior accounting policies, continue to do so when switching to IFRS.
The Company anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to existing standards will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements in the future.
2.9 Subsidiaries and affiliated entities
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed or has rights to the variable benefits that can be obtained from the involvement of the Company in the activity of its subsidiary and when the Company has the possibility to influence such benefits through the control owned over the subsidiary.
The associates are those entities over which the Company has significant influence over the financial and operational policies but does not have control, or shared control. The existence of significant influence is determined, in each reporting period, through the analysis of the shareholder structure of the entities in which the Company owns more than 20% from the voting rights, analysis of the constitutive acts and also of the Company capabilities to participate in the decision-making process over the financial and operational policies of the respective entity.
However, where the Company holds less than 20% of the voting rights in an entity but is considered a significant shareholder and exercises significant influence through representation on the Board of Directors and through participation in policy decisions entity, then such entity shall be considered an associate.
The Company does not exercise significant influence on a number of companies where it holds from 20% to 50% of the voting rights (Note 13). In this category fall companies where the Company’s rights as minority shareholder are protective and the majority shareholder does not participate, or the group of shareholders that hold the majority of the shares in such entity act without considering the Company’s opinions.
The investments in subsidiaries and associated entities at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in Note 13.
2.10 Financial assets and liabilities
(i) Classification
a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
The Company classifies its investments in subsidiaries and associates and financial instruments acquired mainly for active and frequent trading, corporate bonds and fund units as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company deems financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at inception these being financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Company’s documented investment strategy.
The Company’s policy requires the Investment Manager and the Management Board to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information.
b) Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses (for financial assets). Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost include cash and current accounts, deposits with banks, dividends to be received, bonds, debts to shareholders, amounts owed to service providers and other receivables and payables.
The amortised cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the asset or financial liability is measured at the time of initial recognition minus principal payments plus or minus cumulative depreciation, determined by the effective interest method, of any difference between the amount initially recognized and maturity value less any impairment losses with financial assets.
A financial asset must be carried at amortised cost, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition, if both of the following are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows; and
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset generate, at certain dates, cash flows that are exclusively payments of principal and interest on the principal due.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost - are recognized at the time of initial recognition and are not attributable to a trading activity.
The Company recognises an impairment with expected credit losses on financial assets at amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 9.
These instruments are classified in Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3, depending on their relative credit quality in terms of initial payments. So:
- Stage 1: includes (i) newly recognized exposures; (ii) exposures for which credit risk has not materially deteriorated since initial recognition; (iii) low credit risk exposures (reduced credit risk relief).
- Stage 2: includes exposures that, although performing, have experienced a significant deterioration in credit risk since initial recognition.
- Stage 3: includes impaired credit exposures.
For Stage 1 exposures, allowance is equal to the expected credit loss calculated over a time horizon of up to one year.
For Stage 2 or 3 exposures, the depreciation is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon corresponding to the full duration of the exposure.
Allowances for impairment of receivables are based on the present value of the expected cash flows of the principal. To determine the present value of future cash flows, the basic requirement is to identify estimated collections, payment maturity and discount rate used.

2.10 Financial assets and liabilities (continued)
The Company defined as “non-performing” exposures receivables that meet one or both of the following criteria:
exposures for which the Company estimates that it is unlikely that the debtor will fully pay its obligations regardless of the exposure value and the number of days for which the exposure is delayed;
unpaid amounts
c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
The Company’s investments in equity instruments other than those classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, through management decision, at initial recognition. The reason for the classification of the investments as equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is represented by the decision to hold the investments for a long term and collect the dividends. The method used to derecognise each category of financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income is "first in, first out", given the measurement and evaluation of the Company’s performance at fair value.
Dividends received from equity investments are recognized in profit or loss account of the year when the Company has the right to receive dividends and it is probable that these will be collected.
All the other elements regarding changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income for the year until the investment is derecognized or depreciated, when the accumulated gain or loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income to retained earnings account for the year.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The best evidence of fair value is price in an active market. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
The Company believes that the accurate determination of the fair value is an essential requirement for presenting information that is useful to the investors and the Company’s key personnel for proper decision-making purposes.
The estimation of fair value of financial instruments held by Transilvania Investments is performed according to the related policy, procedure and methodology on the valuation of assets for financial reporting purposes.
The methods were established separately for:
a) equity investments (shares held in companies);
b) corporate bonds and government securities
c) fund units portfolio.
According to IFRS 13, according to the input used in the valuation model are defined as follows:
(i) Level 1 inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
(ii) Level 2 inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
(iii) Level 3 inputs: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.10 Financial assets and liabilities (continued)
(i) Classification (continued)
c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (continued)
(ii) Amortised cost measurement
The amortised cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the “effective interest method “of any difference between that initial amount and the amount payable at maturity, minus any reduction for impairment losses in the case of financial assets.
Accrued interest includes amortisation of transaction costs deferred at initial recognition and of any premium or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method.
Accrued interest income and accrued interest expense, including both accrued coupon and depreciation discount or premium (including fees deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are included in the carrying amount of related items in the statement of financial position.
(iii) Recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, for the financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss.
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not taken place. Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or internal administrative or holding costs.
The Company initially recognises bank deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities (including assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are initially recognised on the settlement date.
(iv) Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
The Company fully derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or have expired.
(v) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there is an intention to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Such a right of set off (a) must not be contingent on a future event and (b) must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances:
(i) in the normal course of business,
(ii) (ii) the event of default, and
(iii) (iii) the event of insolvency or bankruptcy.

(i) Classification (continued)
c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (continued)
(vi) Amortised cost measurement
The amortised cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the “effective interest method “of any difference between that initial amount and the amount payable at maturity, minus any reduction for impairment losses in the case of financial assets.
Accrued interest includes amortisation of transaction costs deferred at initial recognition and of any premium or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method.
Accrued interest income and accrued interest expense, including both accrued coupon and depreciation discount or premium (including fees deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are included in the carrying amount of related items in the statement of financial position.
(vii) Recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, for the financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss.
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not taken place. Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or internal administrative or holding costs.
The Company initially recognises bank deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities (including assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are initially recognised on the settlement date.
(viii) Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
The Company fully derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or have expired.
(ix) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there is an intention to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.11 Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
The property, plant and equipment are presented at their revalued value less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment losses. Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment under construction is capitalized and depreciated once the assets enter into use.
Property, plant and equipment are subject to revaluation with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. If there is no market-based evidence of fair value, fair value is estimated using an income approach. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are credited to other comprehensive income and increase the revaluation surplus in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are recognised in other comprehensive income and decrease the previously recognised revaluation surplus in equity while all other decreases are charged to profit or loss for the year.
The revaluation reserve for property, plant and equipment included in equity is transferred directly to retained earnings when the revaluation surplus is realised on the retirement or disposal of the asset.
Upon revaluation of property, plant and equipment, accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is treated as follows: accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated from the gross carrying amount of the asset and the gross carrying amount after the recording of revaluation is equal to its revalued amount; this method is used when it is performed a detailed valuation of the land and building portfolio.
The revaluation of property, plant and equipment is made at fair value, which is determined based on evaluations made by authorised external valuators.
The last revaluation of buildings and land was carried out at 31.12.2022 by REVALTEX SRL (independent valuer ANEVAR member), resulting in an increase in the revaluation reserve of RON 4,176,746 and 33% respectively.
Gains and/or losses from de-recognition of tangible assets is determined as difference between revenues from sales of tangible assets and the expenses with their disposal and are recognized in profit or loss for the year (within other operating income or expenses).
(ii) Subsequent costs
The amounts paid or payable, generated by the repairs and daily maintenance costs of the tangible assets owned, are recorded as expense, according to the accrual accounting principle, changing the value of the Company’s profit of loss of the period.
The amounts paid or to be paid, generated by activities that will lead to an increase in the value and/or the useful life of the asset, through the upgrade of the tangible assets owned, and also the activities that lead to a significant increase in the technical parameters which increase the potential of obtaining future economic benefits are capitalised in the value of the tangible assets (increasing the accounting value of that asset).
The Company recognises the cost of a partial replacement of an item of property, plant and equipment in its carrying amount when such cost is incurred, if the IAS 16 recognition criteria are met, and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised whether or not the replaced part was amortised separately. If the carrying amount of the replaced part cannot be determined, the replacement cost will be used as indication of the cost value of the replaced part upon acquisition or construction.

2.11 Property, plant and equipment (continued)
(iii) Depreciation
The depreciation expense for each reporting period is recorded in the profit and loss account.
Depreciation is calculated using the accounting value (acquisition cost or revalued value) using the straight-line depreciation method, on the entire useful life of the asset (starting with the date of the use) and is recorded as expense on a monthly basis. Depreciation of an asset begins when the asset is available for use, when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to operate in the manner management.
The depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date the asset is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale), in accordance with IFRS 5, “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” and the date that the asset is derecognised.
Each part of an item of tangible asset that presents a significant cost to the total cost of that item, shall be depreciated separately.
Depreciation methods and useful lives are established at each reporting date.
Land is not depreciated.
Categories
Years of depreciation
Building
50
Other equipment, furniture and other tangible assets
up to 12
Vehicles
up to 6
The accounting value of a tangible asset must be derecognised:
a) at sale; or
b) when there are no future benefits expected from the use of the asset or from the sale.
The gain or loss that results from the derecognition of a tangible asset is included in the profit and loss account when the item is derecognised.
2.12 Intangible assets
Intangible assets include software and licences.
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are initially valued at cost. Cost is represented either by the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid, or the fair value of other consideration given, to acquire the asset at the time of its acquisition.
For measurement subsequent to initial recognition, the Company applies the cost model, meaning that intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, from the date that it is available for use. The estimate useful life for software is between 1 to 3 years and licenses are amortised on the validity period, using the straight-line method.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.13 Leasing
(i) Recognition
Starting with the year 2019, the Company applies IFRS Standard 16 Lease Contracts ("IFRS 16") which replaces IAS 17. Thus, according to IFRS 16, a contract is or contains leasing if it confers the right to use an identifiable asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. At the date of commencement of the contract a lessee shall recognise an asset relating to the right of use and a liability arising from the contract lease.
As previously under IAS 17, lessors classify leases as operating or financial. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it substantially transfers all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, a lease is classified as an operating lease. For finance leases, a lessor recognizes financial income over the lease term, based on a pattern that reflects a constant periodic rate of return on net investment. The lessor recognizes operating lease payments as income on a straight-line basis or, if more representative of the pattern in which the profit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished, another systematic basis.
The Company has decided, as allowed by the standard, not to apply the provisions of IFRS 16 for short term lease agreements with a term of less than 1 year and those with a low value of the asset (less than USD 5,000).
(ii) Valuation
Initially, the right to use the underlying asset is evaluated at cost.
The cost of the right-of-use asset includes:
a) the amount of the initial assessment of the debt arising from the leasing contract;
b) any leasing payments made on or before the date of commencement of the proceedings, minus any leasing incentives received;
c) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
d) an estimate of the costs (disassembly, restoration of premises) to be borne by the lessee either on the date of commencement or on the date of the end of the contract.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, using the rate implicit in the lease if it is readily determinable. If this rate cannot be easily determined, the lessee will use its incremental borrowing rate.
At the time of commencement, the lease payments included in the assessment of the debt arising from the lease shall comprise the following payments relating to the right to use the underlying asset during the term of the lease which are not paid on the date of commencement of the lease:
a) fixed payments;
b) variable lease payments which depend on an index or rate, initially assessed on the basis of the index or rate from the date of commencement of the course;
c) residual value amounts;
d) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option;
e) payments of penalties for termination of the lease, if the duration of the lease reflects the exercise by the lessee of an option to terminate the lease

2.13 Leasing (continued)
iii) Further assessment of the right-of-use asset
It is based on the cost model, the right-of-use asset is valued at the initial cost minus any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated depreciation losses respectively adjusted for any debt revaluations.
Depreciation shall be calculated in accordance with IAS 16 and shall be carried out throughout the contract period, i.e. the useful life of the underlying asset, applying the linear depreciation method.
After the start date of the contract, the debt increases to reflect interest and decreases to reflect the lease payments made. Interest expense on the debt arising from the lease is reflected in the profit or loss account.
2.14 Investment property
i) Initial recognition
Investment property is property held by the Company to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both and not to be used for the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or sold during the normal course of business.
An investment property is recognized as asset if:
o it is likely that future economic benefits associated to the asset, will flow to the Company;
o the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
An investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. The cost of an investment property includes all costs related to its acquisition price plus any directly attributable expenses.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
The Company measures the investment property at fair value, changes in the fair value of investment property being recognized in profit or loss.
Gains or losses on changes in the fair value of investment property are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
(iii) Transfers
Transfers to, or from, investment property are made when and only when there is a change in use of the respective asset. For the transfer of investment property carried at fair value to property, plant and equipment, the implicit cost of the asset for the purpose of its subsequent accounting will be its fair value on the date of the change in use.
If a real estate property used by the Company becomes an investment property that will be accounted at fair value, the Company applies IAS 16 until the date of the change in use.
(iv) Derecognition
The carrying amount of an investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Gains or losses resulting from the sale or scrapping of an investment property are recognized in profit or loss when it is sold or disposed of.
2.15 Impairment of non-financial assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company must verify if there are indications of asset impairment. Where such indication exists, the Company estimate the asset's recoverable amount as the greater of its value in use and its fair value less any associated costs incurred to sell the asset.

2.20 Dividends payable (at amortised cost)
The Company records a liability to pay dividends in the year when the distribution of the profit on dividends is approved by the General Shareholders Meeting.
Dividends payable recognized in the statement of financial positions are financial liabilities. Financial liability is extinguished either by paying the amounts owned or when the obligation expires after the 3 years period from the distribution date for collecting the dividends is prescribed in accordance with Romanian law, if the shareholders have not collected the amounts at which they are entitled. As such, financial liability represented by the dividends payable which prescribes after fulfilment of the statutory period of 3 years from the distribution date, is directly reversed in profit or loss and is included in “Other operating income”.
2.21 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
2.22 Trade payables and other liabilities
Trade payables are recognised when the counterparty has performed its obligations under the contract (except prepaid expenses) and are carried at amortized cost.
2.23 Employee benefits
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefits include wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions. Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense when services are rendered.
In the normal course of business, the Company makes payments to the public pension, health care and unemployment systems. All employees of the Company are members of the State pension plan and have the legal obligation to contribute to the state scheme (through social contributions). All the contributions due by the Company are recognised in the profit and loss account of the year when the expenses are incurred.
In addition to salaries and other rights of a salary nature, the directors/members of the Supervisory Board, the directors with a mandate contract /members of the Executive Board and the employees of the company have the right to receive variable remuneration according to the remuneration policy approved at the level of the Company. The company includes such benefits in short-term benefits.
The Company does not operate any other pension scheme and, consequently, has no obligation in respect of pensions.
Benefits granted to the Supervisory Board members, Executive Board members and Company’s personnel
In accordance with the remuneration policy approved by the shareholders in April 2022, the structure of staff remuneration is composed of two main elements: fixed remuneration and variable remuneration and/or other benefits.
Variable remuneration is the form of payment or additional indemnity paid by the Company by considering performance criteria, being intended to recognize the performance of the identified personnel within a certain period, and it is a differential element of the remuneration package.
The variable remuneration will be granted subject to the following general limitation: the variable remuneration will not exceed 1.2% of the total average asset, related to the year for which the variable remuneration is established, calculated and reported according to the legal provisions in force.

2.23 Employee benefits (continued)
The eligibility conditions for the annual payment of the variable component of the remuneration consider:
• Individual performance, with regard to both annual objectives (KPI) and the aggregate performance of the Company.
• Operational (non-financial) performance.
• General results concerning social responsibility.
The members of the Supervisory Board, the Executive Board and the staff of the company have the right to receive variable remuneration in the form of shares issued by the Company, within Stock Option Plan (S.O.P.) programs, approved by the shareholders of the company on annual basis, by complying with the valid legal provisions on variable remuneration within A.I.F.M.
The variable remuneration shall be paid 100% by granting instruments/shares of the company:
- 60% of the variable remuneration is the initial component, the difference of 40% is subject to the deferral period;
- The minimum deferral period is 3 years;
- The 40% component subject to the deferral period is granted proportionally at the end of each of the three years.
For these remunerations, the Company recognizes an expense in the period in which the services were provided, in correspondence with an increase in equity (benefits granted to employees and management in the form of equity instruments) for the share granted under SOP programs.
2.24 Income tax expense
The current income tax includes both the current income tax and also the deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss or in equity if the tax is related to equity components.
Current income tax is the tax payable on the taxable profits of the period, determined using the tax rates available at the balance sheet date and any adjustments related to prior periods.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.25 Deferred tax
The deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, using the temporary differences arising between the tax base for calculating the tax for assets and liabilities and their carrying amount. The deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when achieving the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, as it is specified in the laws in force at the reporting date.
Deferred tax receivables are recognized to the extent that will be obtained future probable taxable profits sufficient to allow the existence of these claims. Deferred tax receivables are reduced accordingly if it is considered that is not probable to obtain a related tax benefit. The main temporary differences arise from movements in the fair value and impairment of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company registers deferred tax liabilities from holdings classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and from reserves from revaluation of tangible assets.
On December 31, 2023, the tax rate used to calculate the current and deferred tax was 16% (December 31, 2022: 16%).
2.26 Basic and diluted earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings/ (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary paid shares in issue during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year is the number of ordinary paid shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted by the number of ordinary shares bought back during the year (based on their settlement date) multiplied by a time-weighting factor. The time-weighting factor is the number of days that the shares are outstanding as a proportion of the total number of days in the reporting year.
As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none of the Company’s issued shares or other instruments had dilutive effect, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
2.27 Income recognition
The Company recognises income from financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9. The Company took into account the provisions of IFRS 15 and the conclusion is that the Company did not obtain income from the contracts concluded with clients.
The revenues recorded by the Company are accounted for by their nature (operational, financial), on an accrual basis.
Revenue is measured at fair value of consideration received or receivable. When the result of a transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, revenue shall be recognized only to the extent of the expenses recognized that are recoverable.
2.28 Interest income and interest expense
Interest income and interest expenses corresponding to financial instruments are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method based on accrual basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period of time.

2.28 Interest income and interest expense (continued)
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows payable or receivable during the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or amortised cost of a financial liability. In order to calculate the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the cash flows, considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but does not account for future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received between the parties that are part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
2.29 Dividend income
Dividends on equity instruments are recognised in the income statement in “Dividend income” when the Company's right to receive payment is established.
2.30 Net gains / losses from sale of financial instruments
a) Net gains / (losses) from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Gains less losses from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include the changes in fair value of financial instruments as at fair value through profit or loss and the income from sale of these financial instruments.
b) Net gains / (losses) from disposal of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Net gains or losses from disposal of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include the revaluation reserve of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Income from the sale /assigning of investments held will be recognized at the date when the property right is transferred from seller to buyer, using the account value at the transaction date.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In addition to experience and historical information, the Company also considers in evaluating these effects the current conditions in the financial industry.
3.1. Investment entity classification
The Company applied the amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 from 1 January 2015, and when after consideration of the criteria mentioned in the amendment, the Company's management concluded that the Company qualifies for classification as investment entity. Thus, a company which is an investment company does not need to consolidate any of its subsidiaries.
The management of Transilvania Investments assesses annually whether the Company is still an investment entity. Thus, the Company re-assessed in 2022 the investment entity criteria and concluded that it meets such criteria, since the Company still:
a) obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment management services;

30. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES FAIR VALUE
30.1. Hierarchy analysis of the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value
According to IFRS 13, according to the input used in the valuation process, the fair value levels are defined as follows:
- Level 1 inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
- Level 2 inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
- Level 3 inputs: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
To estimate the fair value that uses Level 1 inputs, the Company relates to the closing /reference prices on the domestic and/or foreign trading systems.
According to International Financial Reporting Standards, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The materiality level of the inputs in the estimation of fair value as a whole is established by using professional judgment, taking into account specific factors, due to the complexity of a valuation of such investments and to the fact that changes in fair value are reflected in the financial statements.
The fair value of the financial instruments held by Transilvania Investments is estimated according to the valuation rules, policy, procedure and methodology for valuing assets for financial reporting purposes. During 2023, a series of briefings were presented on the policies, procedures and rules defined by the Company: annual review of the valuation policy and procedures implemented at the level of Transilvania Investments, update of specific documents regarding the functioning of the company as F.I.A.I.R, publication and availability of evaluation rules used by Transilvania Investments.
Given its organisational structure and the internal regulations within Transilvania Investments, for some participations that are classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, the evaluation activity is based on specific services provided by a contractual partner, in compliance with the provisions of specific legislation and Valuation Standards applicable at the reference date of the report (valuation date).
During 2022 was in place a contract with a company specialised in valuation, which prepared and delivered to Transilvania Investments a series of valuation reports aimed at estimating the fair value for financial reporting purposes of participations representing majority or minority stakes in listed or unlisted companies from various sectors of activity.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consultants S.R.L . and Darian Drs S.A delivers valuation services, is a corporate member of ANEVAR and meets the specific requirements provided by the legislation in force regarding the independence, qualification, experience and competences required for such activity.
Included in the financial instruments whose estimated fair value uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy, the Company has included the following financial assets:
(i) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, consist of equity shares and social parts (participation in the share capital of the entity of less than 20% classified in this category), participation titles;
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, consist of equity shares (participation in the share capital of the entity of more than 20% and less than 20% classified in this category), bonds, government securities, fund units.

30. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)
30.1. Hierarchy analysis of the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value (continued)
The methodology for estimating the fair value takes into account the structure of the portfolio of financial instruments managed by Transilvania Investments as well as the specifics of the investments held. The data and information used in the process of estimating the fair value will be based on reliable and relevant sources of information at the valuation reference date and the data will be obtained from independent sources, if possible and appropriate. The models used in the estimate of fair value depends on the quality, quantity and reliability of data and available information as well as professional judgment.
In the general concept and the rules defined at the fund level by its authorization as F.I.A.I.R. it was taken into account that the holdings held in issuers listed on an alternative / multilateral system in Romania should be assimilated to securities with a liquidity considered as irrelevant for the application of the the market marking method, the option being that the shares of those companies are assessed on the basis of an assessment report in accordance with the valuation standards in force. For the companies listed on the main segment of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, it is taken into account that, as a rule, the trading activity of those shares is considered relevant for the application of the the market marking method. In specific situations not falling within the general coordinates referred to, a prudential judgment shall be considered on quantitative and/or qualitative issues relating to the market and trading activity of securities relating to the issuer.
For equity investments and social parts whose estimated fair value uses Level 3 inputs, the following approaches have been considered:
Market approach - comparison with companies operating on the capital market;
The income approach - discounted cash flow method, discounted dividends method and dividend capitalisation method;
Asset approach - adjusted net asset method.
The fair value estimation process relates to a volatile economic environment influenced by phenomena whose effect, duration or evolution may be difficult to determine and foresee (e.g., the Covid-19 pandemic, energy prices etc.) and such assumptions or matters are reflected in the evaluation reports, as far as possible. The high volatility of specific factors may generate changes in existing circumstances in a relatively short time and the impact on the economic conditions, on the financial markets or at company level could lead to changes in the values initially estimated. An important element that determines the consistency and relevance of date and information used in the evaluation process is the availability and level of complexity of the financial reports of the issuers part of the managed portfolio.
As of December 31, 2023 the fair value of the portfolio of shares for which the valuation was based on the market marking principle is 63,7% of the total value of the portfolio of financial assets managed by Transilvania Investments. The portfolio of shares for which level 3 input data were used and which were the subject of evaluation reports prepared by third parties (PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consultants, Darian Drs) have a share of 26.0% in the total amount of financial assets held by Transilvania Investments on 31 December 2023. At the level of the shares portfolio, there were no participatory movements between the levels of the fair values hierarchy. The share package owned by Transilvania Investments at T.H.R. Marea Neagra S.A. includes on 31.12.2023 a number of 226,942,936 shares transferred on the basis of the division project approved by the A.G.E.A. to this company in December 2023. In order to correctly reflect this shareholding in the total asset of Transilvania Investments, at position “Other active“ was registered with minus the value of the respective shares valued by market marking. Actual adjustment of the holding held at T.H.R. Marea Neagra SA will take place as a result of the completion of the process of reducing the share capital of the issuer in the division procedure, after the registration date established by A.G.E.A. (11.04.2024).
For corporate bonds in the Transilvania Investments portfolio, the estimated fair value takes into account the “default” stage of the respective issue, determined by exceeding the deadline provided in the prospectus for the payment of

principal and coupons. According to the fund rules and methodology for the valuation of financial assets in this category, they are recorded at zero value. The government securities held by Transilvania Investments at 31.12.2023 are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are assessed on the basis of composite price benchmarks published by Bloomberg, respectively mid quotes that have as main support direct observations on the financial instrument.
For fund units the fair value shall be reported to the unit value of the net asset (VUAN) published or communicated by the fund manager for the reference date, respectively, and for the title of participation held in a closed type investment entity, the capital contributions made by Transilvania Investments and the net asset value (VAN) assigned to Transilvania Investments are taken into account, according to the periodic financial reports communicated to investors by that entity.
At the level of the entire portfolio of financial instruments owned by Transilvania Investments, on December 31, 2023, the value of the financial assets recognized at fair value through the profit and loss account amounts to RON 864.1 million, respectively, of which 37,0% is the value of the shares in level 1 of the fair values hierarchy. Compared to the situation on 31 December 2022, at the end of 2023 the financial assets recognised at fair value through the profit and loss account recorded an increase of about 27.4%, respectively RON 186.0 million.
This was determined by:
- the evolution of the quotations related to the financial instruments from Transilvania Investments portfolio, listed on regulated markets or alternative trading systems and falling within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy,
- the trading activity carried out by Transilvania Investments during 2023,
- inflows and outflows of financial assets the amounts of which are recognized in the income statement of the Company,
- the fair values estimated or determined for holdings classified in levels 2 or 3 of the value hierarchy and recognized through the profit and loss account (shares, fund units, government securities).
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had assets measured at fair value classified on the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The risk management policy can be found in the Company organizational structure and it encompasses both general and specific risks, as set forth in law no. 74/2015 and law no. 243/2019 regulating alternative investment funds and amending and supplementing acts of legislation.
In the process of identifying and evaluating financial risks, as well as the ratios used in risk management, EU Directive 2011/61 regarding the managers of alternative investment funds (DAFIA), EU Regulation no. 231/2013, Directive no. 2013/36 / EU on capital adequacy and EU Regulation no. 575/2013 regarding prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment companies were considered. In choosing the approach regarding the management of financial and operational risks, the application of the provisions of EU Directive 2011/61 regarding the managers of alternative investment funds, the references in DAFIA to Directive 2013/36 / EU, the requirements regarding the risk management provided in EU Regulation no. 231/2013 in the case of Transilvania Investments were considered.
The most important types of financial risks to which the Company is exposed are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Market risk includes currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk. This note provides information regarding the Company's exposure to every risk mentioned above, the objectives and policies of the Company and evaluation and risk management processes.
31.1. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss of the Company if a customer or counterparty of a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Issuer risk represents the risk of losing the value of a security in a portfolio, as a result of the deterioration of its economic-financial situation, which can be determined by the business conditions or the general situation of the economy.
The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets balances.

For reference date 31.12.2023, the Company's management has carried out an analysis of the potential loss that could be recorded in relation to the financial assets valued at amortized cost that have a balance at the reference date of this report (current accounts, current accounts, bank deposits).
By reference to the IFR9 provisions, the analysis was focused on two distinct approaches:
I. Analysis of historical data related to the history recorded with each financial institution.
In summary, this is a significant cumulative turnover of deposits made during the financial year 2023 in the four financial institutions that have a balance at the end of the year. A formula has been chosen to adjust the balance weight in annual turnover to the incidence rate recorded in relation to each financial institution (0% at the level of 2023 for each financial institution). It was assumed that the loss in case of Default (LGD) is 100% for each financial institution. The detailed situation is as follows:
Bank
Incident rate
% balance in turnover 2023
% balance 2023 in turnover 2023 weighted with incident rate

It follows that on the basis of historical data no adjustments are required in relation to the expected loss attached to the balances recorded with the four financial institutions.
II. Analysis of prospective data, estimated via Bloomberg Platform (DRSK function)
In summary it is estimated data through the Bloomberg Platform (DRSK function). This resulted in default probabilities of 0.0000% (for the minimum available horizon of 3 months) for Banca Transilvania, BRD and BCR, respectively a negligible probability of 0.0002% (for the same minimum horizon of 3 months) in the case of ING. It was assumed that the loss in case of Default (LGD) is 100% for each financial institution. The detailed situation is as follows:

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
31.1. Credit risk (continued)
The credit risk associated with placements and investments is managed by following principles of prudential diversification of the portfolio. This risk is controlled both by how partners are selected, by monitoring their activities and by monitoring exposure limits.
Considering the fact that through its activity, the Company has long term exposure in relation to its participation in financial and non-financial entities, management is permanently reviewing the risk the Company is exposed to by maintaining it at prudent and manageable level. Thus, the Company management is using, when required by characteristics on debtor/entity, appropriate instruments to reduce the credit risk and at the same time is permanently monitoring their performance evolution. As of today, the Company has not used derivative financial instruments in order to reduce the credit risk related to exposure to any entity.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for current accounts and deposits with banks is:

The above assets are not impaired or overdue, being included in Stage 1.
Credit risk is also diversified by placing cash with several banks. At the same time, the current accounts and deposits are held at Romanian banks, these institutions having a satisfactory rating. Under these conditions, the current accounts and bank deposits of the Company have a low credit risk because they are held at renowned banking institutions.

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
31.2. Market risk and position risk
Market risk is the present or future risk of recording losses related balance and off-balance sheet due to adverse movements in market caused by changes in share prices, fluctuation of interest rates, exchange rates or price of goods. Management sets the limits on the value of risk that may be accepted, which are monitored on a daily basis. However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements.
Position risk is associated with financial instruments portfolio measured at fair value, which use level 1 input, held by the Company with intention to benefit from positive evolution of prices of underlined financial assets or potential dividends/coupons issued by entities. The Company is exposed to general position risk as well as specific, due to short term investments made in government securities, shares and fund units.
The Management is permanently monitoring the reduction of adverse effects related to this financial risk, through an active procedure of diversifying the investment portfolio and by using one or more technics of diminishing of the risk through trading activity or market prices evolution related to financial instruments held by the Company.
At December 31, 2023, financial assets classified at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy represent equity interests amounting to about 63.7% of the total value of the managed portfolio. A positive change of 10% in the prices of the shares measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would determine an increase in equity at December 31, 2023 of RON 78.756.891, a negative change having an equal and opposite impact.
As regards investments in shares whose values are measured in profit or loss based on Level 1 inputs, a positive change of 10% in the prices would mean an increase of RON 31.953.791 of the result before tax for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, a negative change having an equal and opposite impact.
The financial assets in the portfolio of shares held by Transilvania Investments at December 31, 2023, for which the fair value is estimated using Level 3 input data, represents majority or minority holdings in listed but with irrelevant liquidity issuers on the capital market and in closed-end companies. The share of these assets in the portfolio of assets of Transilvania Investments at 31.12.2023 is 30.6%, and by reference to the capital instruments held by Transilvania Investments at December 31, 2023 they account for 28.1% of the total.
In the context of the asset valuation policy and procedure for the purpose of financial reporting established by Transilvania Investments, the Company's management appreciates that the fair values related to these participations are the result of estimates based on appropriate assumptions and methodologies.

The sensitivity analysis covers a percentage of around 98.2% of the value of the portfolio of participations in shares held by Transilvania Investments at December 31, 2023 classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. It was carried out taking into account unobservable input data considered relevant with an impact on the estimated values and possible reasonable variations of the indicators. In the analysis, the variation of an input parameter implies the maintenance of the other variables used in the evaluation.
For the portfolio of fund units held by Transilvania Investments at 31.12.2023, a change by ± 10% of the net asset value per unit (NAV per unit) used as a benchmark of fair value could cause an increase / decrease of RON 2,038,110 in the profit and loss account.
Regarding the RON and EUR government securities portfolio held by Transilvania Investments at 31 December 2023, for the sensitivity analysis, a variation of ±10% of the price benchmark published by Bloomberg used to establish fair value was considered, which would lead to changes in the value of the profit and loss account through an increase/decrease of RON 5,155,687.

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
31.3. Concentration risk
Concentration risk relates to all financial assets held by the Company, regardless of Company intention to hold these assets, and through diminishing this risk is intended to avoid large exposure against the same debtor/entity at Company level.
The management policy of diversifying exposures is applied to portfolio structure, business structure as well as structure of financial risks exposure.
Thus, this diversifying policy implies: avoiding excessive exposures against the same debtor/issue, or geographical area; diversifying structure of financial risks intends to avoid excessive exposure against the same financial risk.
In order to meet this objective, the Company has initiated a restructuring process of the portfolio and re-modelling business policies. As at December 31, 2023 there were concentrations on companies operating in the banking sector, as the main income generating sector and on companies operating in the tourism and recreation sector as a result of the historical holdings of Transilvania Investments.
Such sectors are included in portfolio restructuring programmes, both through sales at arm’s length and through the reduction of their share in the total portfolio by increasing the shares of some companies operating in other sectors in total portfolio.
31.4. Currency risk
The Company is easily exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily for acquired shares in foreign markets, holding to certain investment funds, foreign currency current accounts, receivables and liabilities in other currencies, as well as receivables and obligations in RON, but which according to contracts are consolidated in relation to other currencies, usually EURO and/or USD.
The Company did not use and does not use at this time derivatives to protect itself from exchange rate fluctuations against other currencies.
By computing and monitoring foreign currency net position and foreign currency rate volatility, the Company is aiming to maintain a balance between foreign currency assets and liabilities against total assets and liabilities of the Company.

A positive change of 10% of the RON compared to EUR, USD and GBP at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 would determine an increase of the company’s profit by RON 7,222,700 (2022: RON 4,261,393), all the other variables remaining constant, a negative change having an equal and opposite impact.
31.5. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the current or future risk that profits and equity are negatively affected by adverse changes of interest rates. Operational cash flows of the Company are affected by interest rates fluctuations especially in case of available cash placed in bank deposits and government securities.
Through the interest rate risk strategy, the Company aims to optimize the gap between assets and liabilities sensitive to the interest rate variation both in total and over time horizons so that the impact of the interest rate change on net interest income is minimal, this results in the assumed risk profile. The company has approved maximum exposure limits to long-term interest rate risk. The company has not used and does not use derivatives at this time to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations.
Risk management policies were adopted, as well as a procedure on risk management, with a main focus on prudential diversification of the securities portfolio, in the context of capital market regulator requirements, applicable to the risk profile of investment companies and to other collective investment bodies, with a diversified investment policy.

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
31.6. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the current or future risk that profits, and equity are negatively affected by the inability of the Company to meet its obligations at maturity.
Given that Transilvania Investments is a closed investment fund, the related liquidity risk is lower than in the case of an open investment fund, because shareholders do not have the option to buy back their holdings individually; liquidity requirements are relatively low, reducing the impact of the potentially low liquidity of the portfolio and / or the occurrence of a very high liquidity requirement.
The main focus was placed on Company’s ability to invest in liquid assets in a reasonable time frame, enabling the Company to face easier challenges on financial markets such as high volatility, discrepancies between markets, reduced level of transactions on Bucharest Stock Exchange, inability of suppliers to liquidity/ market makers to perform their roles.
The strategy of liquidity risk management initiated by the Company is portfolio restructuring aiming for assets with high liquidity to represent the highest number of transactions and highest amount in the portfolio.
The portfolio of shares of Transilvania Investments includes:
participations in listed companies on a regulated market, which are constantly analysed from the perspective of liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2023, the share of assets with a high degree of liquidity compared to total assets, namely those participations that meet the criteria established at the level of the Company to be considered liquid was 53.75% (as at 31.12.2022: 45.39%).
other participations (unlisted and listed on an alternative trading system) that do not meet the criteria specific to assets considered liquid.
the Company includes among the illiquid assets also the majority ownership in listed companies on a regulated market.

During 2023, the liquidity risk related to the managed portfolio was proactively managed through a mix of measures:
For reference date 31.12.2023, the Company's management has carried out an analysis of the potential loss that could be recorded in relation to the financial assets valued at amortized cost that have a balance at the reference date of this report (current accounts, current accounts, bank deposits), concluding that no adjustments are required in relation to the expected loss attached to the recorded balances.
the Company analysed monthly the liquidity of assets with a high degree of liquidity, in order to ensure the necessary liquidity related to the payment obligations due in the next 30 days;
During 2023, the portfolio of financial assets was analysed from the perspective of liquidity risk, respectively, the classification criteria and the classification in the optimal holding packages were verified, it is concluded that its level falls within the provisions mentioned in the internal regulations.

possible vulnerabilities regarding the liquidity risk and which can proactively highlight a possible need to implement action plans meant to avoid or manage periods of high liquidity risk.

a. strengthens the ability of the Transilvania Investments Alliance to manage the liquidity of the Company in the interest of investors, respectively contributes to the identification and management of periods with high liquidity risk;
b. helps to identify possible vulnerabilities of an investment strategy in terms of liquidity and investment decision making;

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
31.7. The business environment
Globally, a number of overall developments centred around measures to manage the general inflationary context continued throughout 2023. The overall context has kept the restrictive monetary policies of most central banks at the forefront. All these developments remain dependent on the fragile balance between the trends of tempering inflationary pressures and the structural imbalances still unresolved.
While most governments have maintained support measures for both the population and the economic environment, the main Central Banks have made monetary policies more difficult through the full range of instruments at their disposal.
The investment activity of the Company has adapted to the domestic and international context, characterized by a high degree of unpredictability.
The Company's management cannot reliably estimate the impact on the financial statements brought about by a number of relevant factors such as future declines in financial market liquidity and financial asset quotations, due to the increased volatility of the capital and foreign exchange markets. However, Transilvania Investments does not estimate difficulties in fulfilling its commitments to shareholders and obligations to third parties, the current and estimated cash flows for the future being sufficient to cover debts to third parties, respectively the commitments resulting from the implementation of the shareholders' remuneration policy.
31.8 Operational risk
Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss caused either by the use of inadequate or inaccurate processes, systems and human resources that have not performed their function properly, or by external events and actions and includes legal risk. At the level of Transilvania Investments, a risk management system is implemented, organized on three levels of defence:
- the first line is provided by the functional departments, which have the first responsibility and importance for the effective management and control of the risks in the daily activities performed;
- the second line is represented by the Risk Management Department, which identifies, analyses and monitors the risks at the level of the entire company. Within the second line of defence there is also the compliance function that ensures the compliance of the company's activity with the legal regulations in force and verifies the accomplishment of the controls from the first line and the third line of defence;
- the third line of defence is represented by the Internal Audit, which periodically examines the fulfilment of the risk management function and controls the activities and all the systems that generated the respective operational risks.

31. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
31.8 Operational risk (continued)
The operational risks at the level of the organizational structures are assessed quarterly, in order to monitor, manage and maintain a high level of awareness. During 2023, there were no events of actual occurrence of operational risk at the level of the functional departments of the Company or situations that would prevent the Company from continuing its activity.
31.9 Capital adequacy
As regards the financial risks to which it is exposed, Transilvania Investments applied in 2018 also a capital-based approach, according to EU Regulation no. 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms. The impact of financial risks takes into account the size of the financial resources that are affected by the respective financial risks (resulting from dividing the level of the capital adequacy ratio by the minimum level required by law, i.e. 8%). The intention of Transilvania Investments is that the solvency ratio determined as a ratio between capital requirements for financial risks and own funds (financial resources) is at least two times the required minimum level (resulting in a minimum of 16% of the capital adequacy). As at December 31, 2023 Transilvania Investments registers a high level of capital adequacy ratio of 53.998%.
The own funds of Transilvania Investments as at December 31, 2023, calculated in accordance with the methodology laid down in EU Regulation no. 575/2013, were in amount of RON 1,086,846,239. The own funds of Transilvania Investments are Level 1 own funds, namely share capital, reserves, retained earnings, other comprehensive income, less the deductions provided by the same regulation.
32. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The amount of equity that the Company managed as of December 31, 2023 was RON 1,732,766,109 (December 31, 2022: RON 1,358,162,932).
Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of net asset value. This value is calculated as a ratio between total assets and number of shares issued by the Company.

33. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
33.1. Legal actions
At the end of 2023, the Company continued to be involved in a number of legal actions specific to the activity performed. The Company's management believes that these litigations will not have a material adverse effect on the economic and financial position of the Company as they are reflected in these financial statements.
During 2023, the existing disputes related to the protection of the corporate rights of the Company and also disputes in which other rights of the Company are protected.
33.2. Contingent liability
At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no contingent liability.
33.3 Transfer pricing
The Romanian tax legislation has been providing rules on transfer pricing between affiliates ever since 2000. The current legislative framework defines the principle of “market value” for transactions between affiliates as well as the methods of determining transfer prices. Thus, it is probable that the tax authorities should conduct verifications of the transfer pricing to verify that the tax result and/or customs value of imported goods is not distorted by the effect of the prices practiced in the relations with affiliates. The Company cannot measure the result of such verifications.
34. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with the proposal of the Executive Board for profit distribution on the agenda of the General meeting of shareholders of 22/23 April 2024, the Company will submit to the shareholders’ approval the distribution of the net profit achieved in the financial year 2023 as follows:
Destination
Amount (RON)
Dividends
32,436,657
Other reserves – own sources of financing made up of profit
204,605,050
TOTAL profit, realized and distributed
237,041,707
At the end of January 2023, the company Hoteluri Restaurante Sud S. A. is no longer in the portfolio managed by Transilvania Investments Alliance, it is the subject of a contribution operation to the share capital of Nova Tourism Consortium S.A. (owned Transilvania Investments: 99.99% of the share capital).
The Company registered no other subsequent events requiring adjustments or presentation in the financial statements.
