1.4. Remuneration Policy
The S.A.I. ERSTE Remuneration Policy sets out policies and practices that are consistent with and
promote sound and effective risk management. It does not encourage risk-taking which is inconsistent
with the risk profiles, rules or instruments of incorporation of the Company and does not impair
compliance with the duty of S.A.I. ERSTE to act in the best interest of shareholders.

The Remuneration Policy includes fixed and variable components of salaries and discretionary
pension benefits that are appropriately balanced and the fixed component represents a sufficiently
high proportion of the total remuneration to allow the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable
remuneration components, including the possibility to pay no variable remuneration component. The
Remuneration Policy applies to those categories of staff, including senior management, risk takers,
control functions and any employee receiving total remuneration that falls within the remuneration
bracket of senior management and risk takers whose professional activities have a material impact on
the risk profile of S.A.I. ERSTE.

The S.A.I. ERSTE Remuneration Policy sets out the general principles and the specific manner in
which remuneration is awarded to company staff.

The Remuneration Policy meets the standards of an objective, transparent and fair remuneration
structure, in accordance with the legal provisions in force. The S.A.I. ERSTE remuneration system
promotes an appropriate and effective risk management structure and does not encourage excessive
risk taking. Relevant information may be obtained free of charge at the offices of S.A.I. ERSTE or on
the company’s official website at: www.erste-am.ro.

According to the applicable regulations, S.A.I. ERSTE has established a Remuneration Committee
comprising non-executive Supervisory Board members. The Remuneration Committee will prepare
and assess the company’s general remuneration principles on an annual basis or as frequently as
required, will implement and monitor compliance with the same. In accordance with the provisions of
the Remuneration Policy, the members of the Supervisory Board are in charge of awarding
remuneration and bonuses.

According to the applicable legal provisions, S.A.I. ERSTE will observe the following principles:

1. The remuneration system will promote sound and effective risk management and will discourage
risk‐taking which is inconsistent with the risk strategies of S.A.I. ERSTE.
2. The Remuneration Policy is prepared in accordance with the Group strategy, the applicable
regulations, ESMA/2016/575 Guidelines on sound remuneration policies under the UCITS Directive,
taking into consideration the standards observed by S.A.I. ERSTE and the investment funds managed,
in order to avoid conflicts of interest.
3. Within the framework of performance assessment, S.A.I. ERSTE will take into consideration long-
term performance and will make sure that variable remuneration based on performance is awarded for
a period of time which takes into consideration existing risks.
4. Control function compensation is not linked to the performance of the teams that they may oversee.
Staff in control functions is compensated in accordance with the achievement of the objectives linked
to their functions, independent of the performance of the business areas they control.

Variable remuneration is determined based on financial and non-financial objectives and targets.
Objectives may be qualitative (knock-out criteria resulting in the non-payment of at least part of the
remuneration, e.g. for compliance breaches, violation of limits) or quantitative (knock-in criteria
resulting in the payment of at least part of the remuneration, e.g. specific indicators for each position
within a department). The performance measurement of the risk, audit and compliance functions
should take into consideration the specific requirements of each such function.
Variable remuneration is performance based. Variable remuneration is also an incentive for prudent
risk taking in the long term and for sound risk management.

In connection with the consideration of sustainability risks in the Remuneration Policy of S.A.I. ERSTE,
particular care is taken to ensure that no excessive risk taking with regard to sustainability risks is
encouraged and that the remuneration structure is linked to a risk-weighted performance.

1.5. Other information

Pursuant to the applicable legal provisions, S.A.I. ERSTE also performs the distribution of shares in
the funds managed by companies in the Erste Asset Management GmbH Group. Consequently, S.A.I.
ERSTE is entitled to a distribution fee in line with the provisions laid down in the agreement concluded
between S.A.I. ERSTE and the management companies referred to above.

In addition, in line with the applicable legal provisions, S.A.I. ERSTE submits regular reports to the
Authority regarding the distribution of shares in the funds managed by companies in the Erste Asset
Management GmbH Group in Romania.

In order to avoid any potential conflict of interest, additional costs to investors or the collection of
benefits at the expense of investors in the managed funds, S.A.I. ERSTE pursues a number of
different business channels in relation to all the activities performed, thus separating the management
activity, including investment services, from the activity related to the distribution of shares other than
the ones managed by S.A.I. ERSTE.

1.6. Transparency of the integration of sustainability risks, pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation


2019/2088

Sustainability factors mean environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights,
anti‐corruption and anti‐bribery matters.

A sustainability risk is an event or condition, the occurrence of which could have a material adverse
effect on the value of the investment.

S.A.I. ERSTE has identified the following general sustainability risks:

Environmental risks related to mitigating the effects of climate change, adaptation to climate change
and the transition to a low-carbon economy, biodiversity protection, resource management, and waste
and other pollutant emissions.

Social risks related to labour and safety conditions and compliance with recognized labour standards,
respect for human rights, and production safety.

Governance risks in connection with the due diligence of the company's management bodies,
measures to combat bribery and corruption, and compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.

The quantitative and/or qualitative assessment of sustainability risks requires the evaluation of several
relevant sources of information published by third parties. Taking into account the fact that, so far,
there has been no standardised disclosure of sustainability factors, assessments that are not
evidence-based may lead to inconsistent outcomes.

The sustainability data currently available to SAI ERSTE are incomplete, inaccurate and/or not
updated. Even when such data are identified, there is no guarantee that sustainability risk
assessments are accurate and may constitute grounds for an investment decision-making process
and/or the identification of any actual/potential adverse impact on sustainability factors.

In view of the considerations above, the investment policy of S.A.I. ERSTE is not compatible with the
integration of sustainability risks in the investment decision-making process and, thus, the company is
currently unable to consider the EU criteria for sustainability in terms of environment matters and/or
the adverse impacts of investment decision on sustainability factors. Nevertheless, the company is
strongly committed to the objectives of the Regulation and will continue to make consistent compliance
efforts, as part of the Erste Asset Management Group.

To this end, a first step, besides actively monitoring the regular sustainability reports published by the
companies in which S.A.I. ERSTE invests, is for the company to apply exclusion criteria that leads to
the strict exclusion from the S.A.I. ERSTE investment of socially, economically, and environmentally
relevant fields such as: coal mining, the manufacture and sale of controversial weapons, and
businesses which do not adhere to the standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO) or the
UN Global Compact.

As regards the forward-looking assessment of the estimated impact of sustainability risks on the
investment portfolio managed, based on the currently available data, S.A.I. ERSTE is not able to
actually assess the potential impact of sustainability risks on portfolio returns. So far, the overall
assessment of available data shows that sustainability risks may cause lower asset values and may
result in negative impacts on the Fund’s net asset value.

- securities lending refers to transactions where the Fund transfers securities subject to an
arrangement whereby the borrower will return the securities on a future date or at the request of
the lender.

The Fund may enter into securities lending arrangements and may post collaterals associated
with such arrangements, subject to the provisions laid down in the regulations in force as
well as subject to the provisions set forth in the ESMA Guidelines/2014/937 on ETFs and
other UCITS issues and the related Q&A document.

Securities lending arrangements will be executed between S.A.I. ERSTE and an intermediary
authorised in a Member State or a credit institution authorised in a Member State.

The Fund may enter into securities lending arrangements provided that intragroup conflicts of
interest are avoided. To this end, the loan will be granted to the entity which presents the most
lucrative terms and conditions.

The Fund may not enter into securities lending arrangements which account for more than 20%
of its assets, while the term of any loan should not exceed 3 months.

The Fund will enter into securities financing transactions to benefit from market opportunities in the
form of financial benefits. Associated risks will be handled in an appropriate manner within the
applicable risk management system.

The financial instruments involved in the securities financing transactions will be limited to shares,
bonds or money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a Member State or non-Member State,
the local public authorities of a Member State or by international public bodies where one or more
Member States act as members.

The maximum share of assets which may be the subject of securities financing transactions (as % of
total assets):

Repos and sell–buy back transactions 30%

The Fund’s counterparties in the securities financing transactions above will be intermediaries
authorized in a Member State or credit institutions having their registered office in a Member State,
with an investment grade rating assigned by at least one credit rating agency such as Standard &
Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch Ratings. Eligible counterparties will be selected on the basis of criteria
including, without limitation: legal status, country of origin, minimum credit rating.

Collateral management policies

For the purposes of securities financing transactions, the Fund will accept collateral in the form
of bonds (issued or guaranteed by a Member State or non-Member State, local public
authorities or international public bodies where one or more Member States act as members),
liquid shares included in the composition of stock exchange indices or cash.

Securities received as collateral are subject to the Fund’s Asset valuation rules.

In the case of securities lending, collateral value is established in accordance with the relevant
S.A.I. ERSTE risk management procedure and may account at any time for at least 110% of
the value of the securities subject to the lending agreement.

Collateral agreements are executed with no title transfer, subject to the provisions laid down in
Government Ordinance no. 9/2004 concerning certain collateral agreements, approved as
amended and supplemented by Law no. 222/2004, as amended and supplemented.

All the collaterals received by the Fund for the purposes of the securities financing transactions, in
order to mitigate counterparty risk, will meet at all times the following criteria:
a) Liquidity – collateral other than cash will be highly liquid and must be traded on a regulated market
or alternative trading system with a transparent pricing mechanism to allow quick selling for a price
that is similar to the current collateral value;
b) Valuation – collateral should be measured at least on a daily basis, and assets whose price is
subject to high volatility may not be accepted as collateral, unless adequate conservative haircuts
are set;
c) Issuer credit rating – the collateral received should be posted by an issuer with good credit rating;
d) Matching – the collateral received by the Fund should be issued by an entity that is independent
from the counterparty, whose performance is unlikely to match the performance of the counterparty;
e) Diversification (concentration) – the collateral should be sufficiently diversified in terms of countries,
markets and issuers. This criterion will be deemed fulfilled when the Fund receives from a
counterparty in securities financing transactions and OTC derivatives transactions collaterals whose
maximum exposure to a specific issuer does not exceed 20% of the net asset value of the Fund.
When the Fund is exposed to various counterparties, various collaterals should be aggregated to
determine the 20% exposure to any single issuer.
f) Collateral other than cash may not be sold, reinvested or pledged;
g) Cash collateral must be:
(i) deposited with credit institutions in Member States;
(ii) invested in government bonds with good credit ratings;
(iii) used for the purposes of reverse repos, provided that transactions involve credit institutions
subject to prudential supervision requirements, and the Fund may withdraw the entire accrued
amount, at any time;
(iv) invested in near money market funds.
h) The assets subject to securities financing transactions and the collateral received will be placed
for safekeeping with Banca Comercială Română, as Fund depositary and custodian.

For the purposes of adequate risk management:


a) eligible counterparties in securities financing transactions will be reviewed by the Investment
Department and Risk Management Unit, subject to approval by the S.A.I. ERSTE Management
Board;
b) securities received as collateral must have good credit ratings and meet the liquidity and
diversification criteria;
c) haircuts will take into consideration the following (without limitation): the issuer type and credit
rating, time to maturity, etc.

Both the shares and bonds accepted as collateral, and the financial instruments acquired following
investment of cash collateral are subject to the risk categories listed in Section 3.2.9. below.

The Fund should be able to enforce the collaterals received at any time, without referring to the
counterparty and without the approval thereof.

Expenses associated with securities financing transactions will be incurred by the Fund and all the
revenues generated by the same will be deemed Fund revenues.

3.2.8. Risk factors


Investments in open-investment funds entail not only specific advantages, but also the risk of not
achieving objectives, including losses for investors, in accordance with the risk-reward principle.

Considering the applicable investment policy, the main risk categories for the Fund are as follows:

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from fluctuating market values for the assets in the Fund’s
portfolio caused by changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the
prices of shares and commodities or the solvency of an issuer;
Interest rate risk refers to the likelihood of varying interest rates, resulting in reduced market values for
sensitive exposures;

Currency risk refers to the adverse change, i.e. fall in the value of assets and/or increase in the value
of liabilities denominated in currencies other than the currency of the Fund, as a result of fluctuating
exchange rates;

Price risk is the risk of falling asset/commodity prices as a result of developments in factors affecting
the issuer or the market in general.

Concentration risk is a component of market risk and refers to the risk of investment portfolios being
over-exposed to certain market risk factors such as the RON interest rate yield curve, the EUR/RON
exchange rate, etc.

Credit risk – arises with respect to any receivables and refers to the risk of loss in case of adverse
changes in the credit rating of a counterparty or securities issuer, which may result in partial or total
default.
Credit risk comprises two main components: the risk of a counterparty defaulting on its payment
obligations (counterparty risk) and the risk of increasing interest rate spread;

Counterparty risk is the risk of loss for a fund arising from a borrower acting as counterparty or a
securities issuer not being willing or able to meet its obligations before final settlement in whole or in a
timely manner. This also includes settlement risk, i.e. the risk of a counterparty failing to meet its
obligation to deliver financial instruments or cash as agreed subject to the terms of the underlying
transaction.

The risk of rising interest rate spread refers to the risk of falling market values for debt instruments, as
a result of changes in borrower creditworthiness;
Credit risk also includes:

Concentration risk, the risk of loss arising from over-exposure to a certain issuer/group of issuers,
economic sector, geographic region, counterparty/group of related counterparties, whose
creditworthiness is determined by common factors such as sector, market, geographic location, and
type of financial instrument;
Downgrading risk, the likelihood of an asset/issuer’s credit rating being downgraded by a credit rating
agency, resulting in falling bond prices caused by rising risk premiums and subsequently falling yields.

Liquidity risk is the risk that a position cannot be sold, liquidated or closed out at an adequate price,
within an appropriate amount of time, without any significant impact on market price and that this will
impair the fund’s ability to meet its redemption and payment obligations at any time;

Operational risk is the risk of loss for the fund that can result from inadequate internal processes,
human error or system failure in S.A.I. ERSTE, or from external events, legal and documentation risks,
and risks that can result from the fund’s trading, settlement and valuation procedures;

Legal risk is the risk of changes in the applicable legal framework, with negative impact on taxation,
the determination of net asset value, etc.

Sustainability risk means an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs,
could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment. The
occurrence of sustainability risks may have an impact on financial instruments in the medium and long
term.
Both derivatives and embedded derivatives involve more risk than financial instruments such as
equities and bonds are usually traded outside regulated markets.

Aggregate risk exposure as a result of transactions in derivatives, including embedded derivatives,


may not exceed the Fund’s total net asset value.

Considering all risks associated with investment funds, S.A.I. ERSTE provides no guarantees that the
objectives set in the investment policy above will be met and will generate financial gains for investors.

S.A.I. ERSTE has in place and maintains a risk management policy aimed at handling all the risks
associated with the Fund. S.A.I. ERSTE will assess, monitor and review the adequacy and
effectiveness of its risk management policy on a regular basis and will notify any significant
amendment to the Authority.

S.A.I. ERSTE is in no position to guarantee returns that are similar to the relevant benchmark.

3.3. Key features of fund shares

3.4 Information concerning the issuance and redemption of fund shares

3.4.1 Subscription of fund shares


By signing the application forms, investors become parties to the Fund’s Memorandum of
Association and undertake to abide by the provisions set forth in the Prospectus of the Fund.
S.A.I. ERSTE will publish in Ziarul Financiar a notice concerning the amendments made to the
Fund documents, whenever appropriate.

In order to be able to subscribe the fund’s shares, investors are required to submit appropriate
identification documents and information, in accordance with the legal provisions in force,
including the information required for FATCA and CRS purposes.
Whenever the information provided is inaccurate or incomplete, thus preventing SAI ERSTE from
meeting its KYC&AML&CFT obligations as well as its reporting obligations to the competent
supervisory authorities, SAI ERSTE will be entitled to refuse the establishment of business
relationships.

The initial subscription documents concluded with SAI ERSTE or the Fund distributor include an
investor statement certifying that the investor has received, read and understood the provisions
of the Prospectus of YI Active EUR Open-End Investment Fund.

Following payment, the subscription request becomes irrevocable.


In the case of natural persons, the initial subscription documents are completed and signed
by the shareholders. Natural person investors may authorise one or several authorised
representatives who will perform subsequent subscriptions/redemptions, either by
completing the required documents with the identification data of the authorised
representative(s) or by (ii) presenting an authenticated power of attorney.

In the case of legal persons, the initial subscription documents may be completed and signed
either by legal representatives or by authorised representatives pursuant to an authenticated
power of attorney. When subsequent operations are performed by a person other than the
legal representative, the latter will complete the required documents with the identification
data of the authorised representative(s) or will present an authenticated power of attorney.

A person subscribing shares will become a Fund investor on the day when the relevant shares are
issued. Fund shares are issued and the transaction is recorded to the investor’s investment account
on the business day following the day when the Fund’s omnibus account has been credited with the
corresponding amount.

Fund membership and the holding of fund shares are certified by the Transaction Confirmation Notice
delivered pursuant to the regulations in force. S.A.I. ERSTE will provide investors with the Transaction
confirmation Notice in a durable medium or at the offices of the distributors. Whenever investors
provide an e-mail address for the use of S.A.I. ERSTE or the Distributor, the same may be used to
meet the aforementioned obligation.

Following the first purchase of fund shares, S.A.I. ERSTE will open an investment account on behalf of
the investor, showing all the subscription and redemption transactions thereof.

The initial investment amount will be minimum EUR 25, but no less than the value of one share.
All shareholders must hold a minimum of one fund share at any time.

Shares will be purchased at their applicable purchase price.

The purchase price of a fund share is the issue price of the fund share paid by investors and
equals the net asset value per share determined by S.A.I. ERSTE and certified by the
Depositary, taking into consideration the value of the assets on the date when the
corresponding sum is credited to the Fund’s omnibus accounts, plus the subscription fee, if
any.

The number of fund shares purchased by investors is determined according to the formula:

Number of shares = Sum paid by investors


Issue price on the date when the sum
is credited to the Fund’s omnibus account

The number of shares is rounded to 2 decimals, to the nearest integer.

Payment of fund shares subscribed will be made in EUR by bank transfer o n l y , to the
Fund’s omnibus accounts opened with credit institutions to this purpose by way of

- current account transfer;


- ATM transfer from a card account opened with Banca Comercială Română SA;

- transfer from a current account opened with Banca Comercială Română SA (when the
investor has no current account opened with Banca Comercială Română SA, such current
account will be opened prior to performing transactions in fund shares).

Subscriptions in cash will not be accepted.

In case of death, reorganisation or merger of one investor, the Fund will continue to operate via
legal successors or designated beneficiaries.

Direct subscription

For subsequent investments, investors in the Fund may opt for direct subscription, as indicated
in the initial subscription documents, whereby S.A.I. ERSTE is authorised to issue fund
shares to investment accounts following a bank transfer certified by the omnibus account
statement issued by the Fund, in the absence of a Subscription Request Form.
Upon payment by current account transfer, investors will be required to fill in the “Details” field of
the relevant payment order with their national identification number (for individuals) or single
registration number (for legal entities), for identification purposes. Otherwise, the allocation of the
amounts transferred to the corresponding investor accounts will become difficult or sometimes,
even impossible.
Lack of such identification data may result in failure to meet the term set out in this Prospectus for
the allotment of fund shares to corresponding investment accounts. S.A.I. ERSTE may not be
held liable for any resulting late allotment or cancellation of shares caused by incorrectly filling in
the relevant payment order.

When a person who seeks to become an investor in the Fund deposits an amount that falls below
the minimum required subscription amount, S.A.I. ERSTE will take all necessary steps to refund the
respective amount starting from the publication date of the net asset value per share corresponding
to the date when the initial subscription amount is deposited. When refunds are not possible within a
period of three years for reasons beyond the control of S.A.I. ERSTE, corresponding amounts will
be booked as Fund revenues.

3.4.2. Redemption of fund shares

Investors are entitled to redeem their fund shares in full or in part, at any time, provided these are in no
way encumbered. When following the submission of a Redemption Request Form, investors are left
with less than one fund share, the remaining fund share fraction will be mandatorily redeemed at the
same time.

Once submitted at the offices of distributors or at the headquarters of S.A.I. ERSTE, as appropriate,
redemption requests becomes irrevocable.

In the case of natural persons, Redemption Request Forms may be filed both by fund shareholders
and the authorised representatives thereof.

In the case of legal persons, Redemption Request Forms may be filed by the legal representatives or
authorised representatives thereof.
Upon receipt of a Redemption request, S.A.I. ERSTE determines the sum payable to the investor,
while distributors will pay out redemptions only upon receipt of relevant instructions from S.A.I.
ERSTE.

The redemption price is the sum payable to the investor on the date when the Redemption Request
Form is filed and takes into consideration net asset value per share, as determined by S.A.I. ERSTE
and certified by the Depositary on the same date, less the redemption fee, if any.

Any legal charges and bank fees will be deducted from the redemption amount in accordance with the
provisions of this Prospectus.

The shares issued by the Fund are cancelled and cancellation is shown in the investor’s account on
the business day immediately following the day when the Redemption Request Form was filed.

S.A.I. ERSTE will provide investors with the Transaction Confirmation Notice or a relevant account
statement in a durable medium, at the S.A.I. ERSTE headquarters or at the offices of distributors.
Whenever investors provide an e-mail address for the use of S.A.I. ERSTE or the Distributor, the
same may be used to meet the aforementioned obligation.

No cash payouts are made at the headquarters of S.A.I. ERSTE or at the offices of distributors.

Payment of redemptions will be made in the fund’s currency of denomination only, by bank transfer, to
the account indicated by the investor or the authorised representative thereof in the Redemption
Request Form. Upon redemption, potential fees associated with crediting the investor account will be
incurred by the investor. In case of inconsistencies or errors in the personal data provided by the
investor for bank transfer purposes, potential fees related to additional operations required will be
entirely incurred by the investor.
By way of exception, when seeking to use the redemption amounts for the purpose of subscribing the
shares of one of the funds managed by SAI ERSTE, investors may request that redemption amounts
be paid to the omnibus account of the fund where subscription is sought.

The redemption price will be paid out within a reasonable time period, no later than 10 business days
from the date when the Redemption Request Form was filed.

3.4.3. Suspension of fund share subscription and redemption


In case of merger with one or several other funds, the Financial Supervisory Authority may decide to
suspend the subscription and redemption of fund shares until such time as the merger process is
completed.

For the purposes of protection of public interest and the investors, the Authority may decide to
temporarily suspend the subscription and/or redemption of fund shares. The suspension decision will
indicate the terms, conditions and grounds for suspension. Suspension may be further extended when
the grounds for suspension subsist.

When the Depositary gives notice to the Authority of the refusal by S.A.I. ERSTE to provide relevant
information and/or documents, the same Authority may suspend the issuance and redemption of fund
shares until such time as the matter is resolved, but no longer than two business days. The
suspension decision will indicate the terms, conditions and grounds for suspension. Suspension may
be further extended when the grounds for suspension subsist.
When redemption requests within a period of 5 (five) business days exceed 5% of the Fund’s asset
value, S.A.I. ERSTE reserves the right to suspend transactions for a period of up to 30 (thirty)
business days.

Any redemption request whose amount exceeds 1% of the Fund’s asset value may be charged an
additional 5% of the total redemption amount.

When any investor’s redemption requests within a period of 5 (five) business days exceed 3% of the
Fund’s asset value, the relevant investor may be charged an additional 5% of the total redemption
amount.

Amounts in the form of additional charges will be deemed Fund revenues.

When the company’s Management Board makes the justified decision of suspension, the grounds for
suspension and the notice to investors will be made available to the Authority in advance.

3.4.4. Business hours


No transactions are conducted at the headquarters of S.A.I. ERSTE and at the offices of distributors
on Saturdays, Sundays, statutory holidays and other public holidays, as well as on 31 December.

subscriptions performed via the Internet on Saturdays, Sundays, statutory holidays and other public
holidays, as well as on 31 December, fund shares will be issued/cancelled at the issue/redemption
price determined against the assets held on the immediately following business day.

3.4.5. Distribution of fund shares


Fund shares may be distributed by S.A.I. ERSTE directly or through companies authorised to provide
distribution services pursuant to the outsourcing/delegation agreements concluded with S.A.I. ERSTE,
subject to the applicable legal terms and conditions.
S.A.I. ERSTE has concluded an Agreement for the distribution of fund shares with Banca Comercială
Română S.A., headquartered in Bucharest, 159 Calea Plevnei, Business Garden Bucharest, Building
A, 6th Floor, 6th District, tel.: 0800 801 227 or 021 407 42 00; e-mail: DOG.BOCD@bcr.ro or

Fund shares may also be distributed through authorised agents. Such agents are natural persons
approved and registered with the Authority’s Public Register, who conduct business on behalf of S.A.I.
ERSTE pursuant to binding agreements and are prohibited from conducting such business in their
own name. Authorised distribution agents may not be involved in collecting or making payments
from/to investors in the Fund. The list of authorised distribution agents is available at www.erste-am.ro.
As of January 2019, following completion of the transitional period for the implementation of Law no.
126 / 2018 on markets in financial instruments, the distribution of fund shares via the authorized
distributor Banca Comerciala Romana S.A. (BCR) will be deemed an investment service.

Thus, distribution of shares will be carried out by Banca Comerciala Romana, subject to all the
additional rules and conditions governing the business pursued by BCR as credit institution which
provides investment services.

In light of the foregoing, when selecting to subscribe/redeem fund shares via BCR, investors will enter
an investment services agreement (the Agreement). The parties to this Agreement may be both
individuals and legal entities.

The subject matter of the agreement will be the provision of investment services (trading on behalf of
the clients) and ancillary services (the safekeeping of financial instruments).

The terms and conditions of the Agreement will be agreed between BCR and each individual investor,
subject to the legal provisions regulating the provision of investment services.

BCR may also provide investment services in relation to fund shares by means of distance
communication, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions in force

3.5. The Fund asset valuation rules are detailed in the Rules of the Fund attached hereto.

3.6. Fees and other costs


3.6.1. Fees payable by investors
A. The subscription fee
As of the date of this Prospectus authorisation, investors pay a subscription fee of 1%.

The maximum subscription fee may be 5%.

The subscription fee may go up and down, but may not exceed the maximum limit; changes
in the subscription fee should be notified to the Authority within 10 days and become effective
on the date when the relevant notice to investors is published in the daily newspaper indicated
in this Prospectus. S.A.I. ERSTE may decide to raise the maximum limit of the subscription fee,
provided that authorisation is received from the Authority and the change becomes effective
within no less than 10 days after publication of the notice to investors.

If investment in the Fund is kept for at least 365 days from the issuance of fund shares,
the subscription fee may be subject to negotiation. Any such negotiation will result in the
execution of an Investment Agreement. If investors fail to comply with the requirement above
and shares are redeemed within the 365 day period, the subscription fee discount offered
upon subscription will be incurred by investors.
S.A.I. ERSTE may charge different subscription fees for natural persons, legal persons,
investors who are associates or employees of the financial Group where S.A.I. ERSTE
belongs; such fees may go down to zero according to the type of investor, the amount invested
and the investment term.
For investments in fund shares which are part of the individual investment portfolios managed
by S.A.I. ERSTE, the subscription fee is zero.
For holders of individual investment portfolios managed by S.A.I. ERSTE who decide to
transfer their portfolios in part or in full for the purpose of investment in Fund shares, the
subscription fee is zero
When another fund which is subject to direct or delegated management by S.A.I. ERSTE or by
any other company to which S.A.I. ERSTE is linked by joint management or control or by any
direct or indirect significant equity holding makes investments in the shares of the Fund, no
subscription fees will apply.
S.A.I. ERSTE may offer subscription fee discounts, according to the type of investor, the
amount invested and the investment term. This type of discount involves no other additional
costs for the Fund.
Subscription fees are collected by S.A.I. ERSTE.

The subscription fee is considered in determining the issue price, according to the formula:

Issue price = NAVS × (1+c%)

where c% is the subscription price expressed as a percentage.

Consequently, the sum paid by investors as subscription fee may be determined according
to the formula:

Subscription fee (RON) = Sum paid by investors x c%


1+c%
B. The redemption fee

The Fund charges no redemption fee.

3.7.1 Other fees and costs

deducted from the management fee charged by S.A.I. ERSTE to the Fund.

The sums determined in accordance with the formula below will be considered daily in the
calculation of Fund assets.

Fund management fee = F% * ATF

CIU management fee = B% * ATB

Fund management fee (considering deduction) =

where:

OPC (CIU) - CIU managed by S.A.I. ERSTE where the Fund invests;

F% - management fee expressed as a percentage and charged to the Fund;

ATF - total Fund assets against which the Fund management fee is determined;

B% - management fee expressed as a percentage and charged by the CIU where the
Fund invests;

ATBi - total assets of the CIU where the Fund invests, used for the determination of the CIU
management fee;

Nr. TitluriOPC - number of shares held by the Fund in the CIU;

n - number of CIUs where the Fund invests.

3.7. Fund merger and dissolution


A. Open-end investment fund merger and spin-off
Open-end investment funds may merge by:
a) acquisition of one or more funds by another fund;
b) establishing a new fund through the amalgamation of two or more funds.

Merger by acquisition involves the transfer of all the assets of one or several open-end investment
funds to another fund referred to as the acquiring fund, and results in the dissolution of the acquired
fund/funds.

Merger by amalgamation involves the establishment of a new open-end investment fund to which the
merging funds transfer all their assets and results in the dissolution of all the merging funds.

The merger of two or several open-end investment funds takes place at the initiative of the asset
management companies involved. The sole objective of the asset management companies is to
protect the interests of investors in the funds involved to the merger.

The asset management companies will give notice to the Authority concerning their intention to merge
the funds, accompanied by a draft of the merger agreement and a certificate of incumbency issued by
the depositary, indicating the number of investors and the net asset value of the funds involved in the
merger. Within maximum 30 days from the submission of the said documents, the Authority will issue
a decision to suspend the issuance and redemption of the shares of the funds involved in the merger,
except for full redemptions of such fund shares, until such time as merger proceedings are completed,
but no longer than 90 days from suspension.
The suspension decision will become effective 30 days after the date when the decision was
communicated to the asset management companies involved. Within five days from the said
communication date, the asset management companies will publish and provide the Authority with
evidence of publication of the notice concerning the merger and the suspension date for the issuance
and redemption of the shares of the funds involved in the merger. For the purposes of investor
protection, the merger notice will indicate that there is no guarantee that resulting shares will have the
same value as before the merger.

The asset management companies will pay out all the redemption requests filed in the period between
the publication of the merger notice and the entry into force of the suspension of the issuance and
redemption of the shares of the funds involved in the merger, as the provisions laid down in art. 110(3)
and (4) of Regulation no. 9/2014 do not apply.

In the case of merger by acquisition, the Authority will withdraw the authorisation of the acquired fund,
while the acquiring fund will continue to pursue business in accordance with the regulations in force.

In the case of mergers by amalgamation, the Authority will withdraw the authorisation of the funds
involved in the merger, while the resulting fund. All merging funds will be under the management of the
same asset management company.

On the business day immediately following the merger, the asset management company of the fund
resulting from the merger will provide the Authority with a certificate of incumbency issued by the
depositary with regard to the status of the resulting fund; this certificate will be similar to the certificate
provided upon filing the merger notice.

The share conversion calculation date is the merger date.

When the funds involved in the merger proceedings have different depositaries, the
aforementioned certificate will be accompanied by a handover protocol executed upon
transfer of the assets of the open-end investment funds involved to the depositary of the
resulting fund.

Spin-off is prohibited.

B. Transfer of fund assets and shares


The companies involved in the merger should adopt identical valuation criteria for the same type of
financial instruments which are the assets of the funds involved. Such criteria should be identical to
those applicable to the resulting fund.

No additional cost will be incurred by investors as a result of mergers.

The appropriateness and reliability of the valuation criteria and of the fund share conversion rate will
be assessed by financial auditors who are members of the Romanian Chamber of Financial Auditors
(“C.A.F.R.”).

C. Fund liquidation
The Authority will withdraw the authorisation of the Fund under the following circumstances:
a) at the request of S.A.I. ERSTE, when the value of the assets no longer provide economic

authorisation for the current asset management company.

of the Supervisory Board within two business days from the date of the Supervisory Board
meeting. The resolution will comprise the following information:

c) the auditor’s report concerning the assets and liabilities of the open-end investment fund;

also approving the notice to investors which will be published at least on the S.A.I. ERSTE website as
well as in the daily newspaper indicated herein, on the day immediately following receipt of the
suspension decision from the Authority. The suspension of Fund share issuance and redemption as
part of the Fund liquidation proceedings will entail no redemption rights for investors.

Within 5 business days from the commencement date of the suspension, as indicated in the Authority
decision referred to above, S.A.I. ERSTE will request the Authority to withdraw the Fund’s
authorisation, based on the following documents and information:
a) the up-to-date holdings of the Fund on the suspension commencement date referred to above (i.e.
information concerning the number of investors and net asset value, including net asset value per
share), as certified by the depositary;
b) the financial auditor’s report concerning the current assets and liabilities of the Fund.

Within maximum 15 business days from the day when the Authority communicates the decision to
withdraw the Fund’s authorisation, S.A.I. ERSTE will conclude an agreement with a financial auditor
who is a member of C.A.F.R. and will act as trustee in the Fund’s dissolution. The agreement will

Law no. 297/2004 and the implementing regulations thereof. A copy of the agreement signed following
the review of at least 3 competing bids to ensure the lowest price will be transmitted to the Authority.

assistance and expertise for the fulfilment of duties and responsibilities, while holding direct liability for
the manner in which the said natural or legal persons discharge their duties. All subcontractors, as well
as their duties or responsibilities will be indicated in the agreement concluded between the asset
management company and the trustee. All subcontractor fees and other costs will be paid from the
trustee’s own fee.

The trustee will foreclose all the Fund’s assets and take all necessary measures for the preservation
thereof. The trustee will retain copies of all the Fund’s accounting records and books of accounts kept
by the asset management company and the depositary.

Within maximum 20 business days from signing the agreement, the trustee will make a
complete inventory of all the assets and liabilities of the Fund and prepare an inventory report
comprising, without limitation:

a) a valuation of all assets at market value, as well as a valuation of all current liabilities of the
Fund;

b) a list of all shareholders, the number and value of shares held by each such shareholder prior
to dissolution;

c) a schedule of the dates when assets are sold and resulting proceeds are paid out.
The report will be sent to the asset management company and the Authority within maximum 48
hours from preparation, and will be published in the Authority’s Journal.

The trustee will choose a bank based in Romania or the Romanian branch of a foreign bank of
sound reputation and financial standing in order to open an account for the sole purpose of
depositing the proceeds derived from the Fund’s dissolution. The trustee will be the only
person entitled to operate the account.

The trustee will complete the dissolution process within maximum 60 business days from
publication of the inventory report. The trustee must sell the assets of the open-end investment
fund at maximum market value. The trustee may request the Authority to extend the 60 day
period referred to above by a maximum of 30 days, for the purpose of selling the assets.

Following receipt of requests for full redemption, only the Fund’s net asset value will be the
subject of the legal requirements concerning determination, certification and publication. When
the asset management company decides not to pursue withdrawal of the Fund’s authorisation,
the Fund’s net asset value per share will be equal to the last NAVS determined by S.A.I.
ERSTE and certified by the Depositary.

Following liquidation of all assets, the trustee will pay out all the costs related to the Fund’s
dissolution, as well as any other outstanding liabilities of the Fund, and will record all the
amounts expensed from the sales proceeds. Then, the trustee will distribute resulting
proceeds to fund shareholders, in accordance with the dates scheduled in the inventory
report, but no later than 10 business days from the completion of dissolution proceedings. Net
sums will be distributed solely based on the number of fund shares held by each investor on the
date when dissolution proceedings are initiated, according to the principle of equal and fair
treatment of all investors, and subject to no other criteria.

In the event that the payment of the amounts due to some shareholders is deemed impossible, the
trustee will retain the said amounts to the bank account referred to above, for an undetermined period
of time. The said bank account will be set up in the form of a non-interest bearing, zero fee escrow
account opened with a credit institution licensed by the NBR or with the branch of a credit institution
licensed in another Member State.

The trustee will provide the said credit institution with the identification data of all the investors whose
sums are deposited in the respective global account, as well as with information on the updated
account balance of each such investor.

The trustee’s creditors will not be able to start legal proceedings with respect to the sums deposited in
the bank account above. The trustee will advise the credit institution of the said prohibition at the time
when the bank account is opened.

The trustee prepares the final report, comprising the outcomes of the dissolution process, the sums
distributed from the proceeds of asset sales and the manner of distribution, and will produce evidence
of payment. The final report will be sent to the Authority, and published in Ziarul Financiar as well as in
the Authority’s Journal. After all payments are made, the trustee will close down the bank account,
except in the event that the payment of the amounts due to some shareholders is deemed impossible,
and the provisions above regarding the escrow account apply.
