We did not let the crisis take control - we responded to it with great determination and successfully countered all the challenges it presented by creating a resilient business model that rests on two main pillars. The first one is based on the constant increase in efficiency and cost reduction in all segments of our business. The second one is the focus on key investment projects that allow us to develop and ensure a sustainable and secure future. This combination has enabled us to keep NIS among the profitable oil companies. At the same time, our management team showed leadership and great professionalism, proving that it is ready to respond to any challenge and to run a successful business even in times as challenging as these. Improved efficiency leads to profitability This is specifically the business model that in 2016 made it possible for us to deliver financial results similar to our 2015 performance. It is with great pleasure that we can confirm that we have succeeded in maintaining the profitability of NIS despite adverse macroeconomic trends, such as the drop in crude oil prices which marked the greater part of 2016. We have generated a profit of RSD 15 billion, and EBITDA amounted to RSD 39.8 billion. We have managed to preserve jobs, and to keep the salaries and important benefits unchanged for our employees. We owe this primarily to the measures aimed at increasing operational efficiency which we strictly adhered to, with an effect of RSD 8.6 billion on EBITDA last year. Savings were achieved by means of rational use of capacities, reduction of administrative costs as well as through arrangements with suppliers who agreed to lower the prices of their goods and services. This was a great effort of NIS as a whole, and we are very proud of the fact that a significant contribution to improved operational efficiency also came from our employees who in 2016, as part of the program “I have an idea”, put forward more than 1,000 suggestions and helped us remain stable in the face of the crisis. Leader in investments In the course of 2016, we have invested a total of RSD 26.1 billion and again confirmed our position as the leading investor in the Republic of Serbia. The largest investments were made in exploration and production of oil and gas, and keeping the growth rate of hydrocarbon reserves, which were estimated at 3.4 percent in 2016. In the field of refining, we have additionally modernized our plants and continued preparations for the start of construction of the “Bottom of the Barrel” project which will help increase our refining capacities to one of the largest in the region. In the trade segment, we have continued to increase the volume of sales in the markets of Serbia and the region, reaching the share of nearly 43 percent of

NUM.: 2.801.709 Albania Has there been any research, exploration and/or exploitation activity in the last 10 years? Which companies are active in the upstream activity? Albania has many mineral resources, most notably: copper, iron-nickel and coal, as well as petroleum. There is located one of the largest onshore oil fields in Europe: Patos-Marinza, for which an increasing number of international oil companies today are securing oil prospecting licenses. Over the last decade, the country has awarded drilling licenses to a number of American, Austrian, Canadian, Croatian, Greek, and Swedish companies, and an increasing number of international companies are now seeking prospecting licenses. This has led to a growing workforce and an influx of investment in the oil, mining and gas sectors, which provides optimism for a long term recovery in the extractive industries. In the areas of exploration foreign companies prevail and operate on the basis of PSCs entered into with the Albanian state. In addition to minerals, Albania also holds considerable oil and natural gas, and the government is currently in the process of promoting increased production to international oil and gas firms in the wake of its program of privatization.
