The supervisory board of AS Tallinna Sadam (hereinafter: “Tallinna Sadam”) approved the
audited annual report for 2023 presented by the management board. In the audited financial
results of 2023, compared to the 12-month unaudited financial results disclosed on 28
February 2024, part of unused properties has been reclassified as investment properties,
interest liabilities have been reclassified from trade and other payables to short-term loans and
borrowings, and credit losses on financial assets have been presented in a separate line in the
consolidated income statement. The correction had no impact on the Group’s consolidated

In 2023, the annual revenue of Tallinna Sadam group was EUR 116.6 million (–4,2%) adjusted
EBITDA amounted to EUR 49 million (–12%) and the profit was EUR 15.9 million (–38%). The
volume of investments was EUR 20.7 million (+50%).

Based on the dividend policy approved by the general meeting of shareholders to pay a
dividend at least 70% of the profit, the management board, with the approval of the supervisory
board, will propose to the general meeting of shareholders to pay a dividend of EUR 0.073
per share in 2024, totaling EUR 19.199 million.

According to the draft resolution of the shareholders submitted to the general meeting, the list
of shareholders entitled to receive dividends will be established as at 10.05.2024 at the end of
the business day of Nasdaq CSD settlement system. Consequently, the day of change of the
rights related to the shares (ex-dividend date) is set to 09.05.2024. From that day the person
acquiring the shares will not have the right to receive dividends for the financial year 2023.
Dividends shall be disbursed to the shareholders on 17.05.2024.

According to Valdo Kalm, chairman of the management board of Tallinna Sadam, despite the
difficult times, the company continues to earn a decent profit. Different business areas balance
each other, making the group as a whole resistant to the risks of the external environment,
which is why we are still ready to pay dividends and at the same time continue with
investments. "At the moment, there is a strong focus on cost savings while preparing and
launching new growth projects such as offshore wind farms quay and real estate development.
At the same time, the strong liquidity position allows paying dividends in the same amount as
last year," said Kalm.
