Portfolio composition and news
As reported on the occasion of the publication of the half-year results on August 25, 2022, the Gazprom ADRs in EEII's portfolio were exchanged for ordinary shares of Gazprom PJSC listed on the Moscow exchange. These shares remain under custody with UBS Switzerland AG.
Despite observable prices and a liquid market, due to the current sanctions against Russia and the retaliation measures taken by the Russian Federation against international investors, the Moscow Stock Exchange is currently not deemed to be accessible for international investors such as the Company, and it is equally unclear if and how the Company could dispose of this asset. For this reason, the Board of Directors decided to revalue the Company's holding with an impairment charge of 99 % as of December 31st 2022. For details on the assumptions of this decision we refer to the annual report 2022 published on April 28th, 2023.
Meanwhile, Gazprom shares traded in a broad range of RUB 215 - 160 during Q4, thereby indicating, that significant potential value remains in this investment.
