No. 12.807/16.03.2018
Submitted for approval in the OGMS meeting of 26 April 2018
R E P O R T on the gross dividend per share proposal and on the dividend payment modality for financial year 2017
The approval of a gross dividend per share amounting to RON 25.22, established according to Government Ordinance 64 of 30 August 2001 on the distribution of profits in national companies and trading companies owned by the state or where the state is a majority shareholder and the autonomous administrations with the applying of 50,019578% to profit as dividends. The distribution share foreseen in the income and expense budget of the National Gas Transmission company Transgaz SA per 2017 approved by GOMS Decision no 1/27.04.2017 is of 50%.
In the Government meeting of 08.02.2018 the Memorandum on the issue of "The mandating of the representatives of the State in the General Meeting of the Shareholders/the Board of Administration, as the case may be, to the national companies and the companies with full or majority state capital, as well as to the autonomous administrations, in order to take the necessary measures to allocate a quota of at least 90% of the net profit achieved in 2017 as dividends/payments to the state budget " was approved, which proposes:
a) To mandate the representatives of the State in the General Meeting of Shareholders/Board of Administration, as the case may be, to decide on the allocation of a minimum 90% share of the net profit achieved in 2017 as dividends/payments to the state budget on the occasion of the approval of the Financial Standing of such year;
b) If the provisions of letter a) cannot be implemented because of well justified reasons, the Government may approve by Memorandum the mandating of the state representatives in the General Assembly of the Shareholders/Board of Administration, as the case may be, to decide on the allocation of another quota of the net profit, but subject to the provisions of the GO no. 64/2001.
Given that the implementation of the provisions contained in point a of the Memorandum may result in Transgaz' incapacity to finance strategic development projects within the limits of leverage imposed by the grant agreements, the necessary formalities will be undertaken to obtain the mandate for approval in the GMS of the share distribution of profit in the form of dividends according to point b of the Memorandum.
According to Art. 15.3 (e) of the updated Articles of Incorporation of SNTGN TRANSGAZ SA, we submit for approval:
1) The value of the gross dividend per share in amount of 25,22 lei;
2) Dividend payment to the shareholders starting from 16 July 2018.
According to Art.111 (2) (a) of Law 31/1990 on the trading companies, as further amended and supplemented, and to Art.15 (3) (g) of the Articles of Incorporation of Transgaz, the General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company has the competence of establishing the dividend.
The proposal for allocating by destinations the net profit amounting to 582.061.043 lei, according to Government Ordinance 64 of 30 August 2001 on the distribution of profits to national companies and trading companies owned by the state or where the state is a majority shareholder and the autonomous administrations, is as follows:
C Dividends to the shareholders 296.936.345,68 lei
C Profit for the establishment own financing sources 285.124.697,32 lei.
According to Art. 67 (2) of Law 31/1990 on the trading companies, as further amended and supplemented, dividends are distributed to the shareholders proportionally with their participation in the paid up share capital.
The paid up share capital of Transgaz is of RON 117,738,440 divided into 11,773,844 ordinary, nominative, indivisible shares having a nominal value of RON 10/share.
Thus, the value of the gross dividend is of RON 25,22 /share.
According to Art. 86 (51) of Law 24/2017 on the issuers of financial instruments and market operations the payment of dividends due to shareholders is to be made through the central depository and through the participants to their system.
The date for the beginning of dividend payment was established considering the following:
C According to Art.67 (2) of Law 31/1990 on the trading companies, dividend payment term is established by the General Meeting of the Shareholders and cannot exceed 6 months from the date of the approval of the annual financial statements of the financial year ended, unless otherwise provided by special law;
C Art. 1293(2) of Regulation 13/2014 of the Financial Supervisory Authority stipulates that `in the case of the dividends, the General Meeting of the Shareholders shall establish as payment date a business day following up to 3 working days the registration date but not later than 6 months from the date of the General Meeting of the Shareholders establishing the dividends`;
C According to Art. 1 (3) of GEO 64/2001, as updated, `by derogation from the provisions of Art. 67 (2) of Law 31 / 1990 ... the national companies where the state is the sole, majority or controlling shareholder shall transfer dividends to shareholders within 60 days from the deadline provided by the law for the submission of the annual financial statements`. According to OMPF 470/11.01.2018, Annex 1, Chapter III, the deadline for the submission of the annual financial statements and of the annual accounting reports for year 2017 for the national companies is of 150 days from the end of the financial year.
