In particular, the Investment Manager would like to note that on 31 March 2017 the High Court of Cassation and Justice announced that it has rejected the Litigant's appeal in file no. 2808/2/2013, which targeted the annulment of Decision no. 34/18 august 2010 issued by the National Securities Commission (now Financial Supervisory Authority) for registering the Fund as a closed-end investment company.
