The Company did not hold any own shares * EUR 1 = SEK 8.84 on 31 January 2014 Events during the month * As per 1 January 2014, East Capital has restructured part of its funds in order to adapt the funds to the EU regulatory framework for alternative investment fund managers (AIFMD). Four of East Capital's Bering funds, domiciled in the Cayman Islands, are included in the restructuring: East Capital Bering Russia Fund, East Capital Bering Balkan Fund, East Capital Bering Central Asia Fund and East Capital Bering Ukraine Fund A. At year- end, these funds comprised approximately 29% of East Capital Explorer's NAV. East Capital Explorer welcomes the restructuring, as a smaller number of funds will increase visibility and more clearly define the fund portfolio, which is in line with the overall strategy of a more concentrated portfolio with an increased weight of direct and private equity investments. On 1 January, the funds were transferred to two new funds domiciled in Luxembourg; East Capital New Markets Fund that will benefit from the progress within selected Small and Mid Cap companies in Eastern European frontier markets, and East Capital Deep Value Fund that actively manages holdings with an unwarranted liquidity discount and significant yield potential.
