The Company did not hold any own shares * EUR 1 = SEK 9.12 on 30 May 2014 Events during the month * The Russian stock market recovered significantly in May, with the RTS index (EUR) gaining 11.6%, thus outperforming the other markets in the region. The index has rebounded around 25% since its low in mid-March, but is nevertheless down almost 10% year-to-date. East Capital Russia Domestic Growth Fund (100% Russia) gained 20.8% in May and East Capital Deep Value Fund (around 32% Russia) gained 5.2%. The de-escalation of the crisis in Ukraine in combination with large energy deals supported the Russian stock market and the currency. Many domestic oriented stocks rebounded sharply on the improved sentiment, currency appreciation and company specific news. * On 27 May, East Capital Explorer acquired Vilnius Business Harbour, an A Class office complex in the central business district of Vilnius, and a neighboring land plot. The acquisition was made as a direct investment, and the total purchase price amounted to EUR 61.6m, corresponding to a yield of approximately 7%. Of the total amount, the equity commitment of EUR 22.3m (the fair value in the NAV report) and the transaction costs were paid in cash, while the rest is financed through bank loans. This acquisition is in line with East Capital Explorer's increasingly focused investment strategy with a growing part of Private Equity and Real Estate investments, and it will contribute positively to the portfolio's cash flow. * East Capital Special Opportunities Fund II has, as a result of the previously announced planned liquidation, successfully divested 88% of its portfolio and will subsequently distribute approximately EUR 17.6m to East Capital Explorer around 13 June. The remaining part of the Fund's assets is expected to be paid out during the autumn of 2014.
