1 The computations herein related to the subscribed share capital/paid-up share capital / total voting rights are made based on the shareholding structure as received from the Central Depositary as of 31 July 2018 and include the share capital decrease of 26 September 2017 which became effective as of 29 June 2018, and which was registered by the Central Depositary 18 July 2018.

2 As per the Fund's Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting Resolution no. 5 of 26 October 2017, the ninth buyback programme refers to the acquisition by the Fund of a maximum number of shares and / or equivalent GDRs corresponding to the Fund's shares computed so that all the outstanding treasury shares (acquired during this programme and/or previous ones) will not exceed 20% of the subscribed share capital at the relevant time, which represents a total of 1,761,024,502 own shares as of the date of this notification; however, after the cancellation of the shares acquired within the previous / ongoing buyback programmes, the 20% limitation will change and the Fund will notify the market accordingly.
