The fair value of the Notes as at 31 December 2023 was estimated by an independent valuer, in accordance with generally accepted principles and appropriate methods followed internationally.

The main assets (approximately 99.7% of the total assets) of the Company are the Notes; hence, the Company's sole source of revenues are receivables from the Notes, which are linked to receivables from the non-performing loans included in the Cairo Portfolio ("Loans"). The receivables from the Notes are allocated in accordance with the prioritization schedule underpinning the issuance of the Notes ("Repayment Schedule"), under which payments on the mezzanine and junior notes are the last in the order of priority2. Given that the payment of the receivables from the Notes follows the full repayment of the receivables from the senior notes, the Company did not have revenues in 2023.

  1. Cairo Portfolio means the mixed portfolio of non-performing loans, which was transferred in June 2019 by Eurobank Ergasias S.A. to the Irish special purpose companies Cairo No. 1 Finance DAC, Cairo No. 2 Finance DAC, and Cairo No. 3 Finance DAC.
  2. The payments under the senior notes precede the payments under the mezzanine notes and the latter precede the payments under the junior notes. In addition, the payments to noteholders is preceded by other obligatory payments, such as payments for taxes, fees and expenses, etc.

The Company's operating expenses during the same financial period relate to operating and administrative expenses, such as auditors' fees, third party fees for the provision of legal, administrative and investor relations services as well as ATHEX expenses.

It should be noted that, the Company, as a noteholder, does not have any right on the formulation or implementation of the Cairo Portfolio business plan, which was prepared and is being executed by the servicer of the Cairo portfolio. Consequently, the Company cannot affect its revenues in any manner or draw up its own business plan.
