Update to the investigation by the Romanian National AntiCorruption Directorate
In connection with the investigation triggered by the Romanian National Anti-Corruption Directorate (“DNA”), which we have previously disclosed to the market and to our investors in the initial public offering prospectus dated 26 April 2017, in the supplemental prospectus dated 8 May 2017 (together, the “Prospectus”), as well as in the subsequent public reports, we inform you that, on 7 June 2017, the DNA attached several assets pertaining to RCS & RDS S.A. (the Company’s subsidiary) to secure an amount of up to Lei 13,714,414 (approximately EUR 3 million). Should RCS & RDS S.A. be found guilty for having committed the alleged criminal offences by a final court resolution, it is possible that enforcement be made against these assets up to the value of the secured amount.
On 7 June 2017, Mr. Bendei Ioan, member of the Board of directors of RCS & RDS S.A., was indicted by the DNA in connection with the offences of bribery and accessory to money laundering. Mr. Bendei Ioan was also placed under judicial control for a period of 60 days, starting on 7 June 2017. As a consequence of such measure, Mr. Bendei Ioan is subject to several obligations and communication restrictions.
RCS & RDS S.A. and the Company will take necessary measures so that these measures do not interfere with their business in any material manner.
