LATVIJAS GĀZE GROUP CONSOLIDATED AND JSC "LATVIJAS GĀZE" ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2020 2 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Dear shareholder, In 2020, Latvijas Gāze group succeeded in attaining a positive result despite the challenges brought on by the market conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic and a consecutive warm winter in Europe have caused a significant natural gas demand drop. As a result, natural gas prices dived to multi-year low levels in summer. Liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) deliveries to Europe increased substantially, as Europe became a swing buyer during natural gas oversupply period. Continuous low natural gas price environment eventually forced multiple LNG suppliers to cancel an ample amount of LNG loadings in order to minimize losses associated with LNG deliveries. LNG cancellation in summer and economic recovery in 2H 2020 brought balance to the natural gas market and natural gas prices commenced a rapid recovery in autumn. Higher winter-summer spread intensified competition for capacity at the Inčukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility. Regulated storage tariff for one year bundled unit capacity product was multiple times lower compared to winter-summer spread and costs for storing natural gas in other European countries. The storage capacity was allocated based on the number of participants and the requested volume, rather than the price offered. Consequently, slightly less storage capacity was allocated to JSC “Latvijas Gāze” compared to last year. Natural gas forwards demonstrated a significantly tighter market in 2021, thus a decision was taken to defer the injected underground storage inventory to next year. However, this had a negative impact on Q4 2020, as JSC “Latvijas Gāze” decided to use pipeline supply instead of storage supply. Nonetheless, this decision will ultimately improve future period results in future periods. Competition in the Baltic region has intensified to high levels during summer as LNG supply increased dramatically. LNG oversupply in the world pushed producers to deliver gas in Europe and Baltic region at sunk costs. Despite the fact that 2020 showed high price magnitude within a year and extreme daily volatility, it was observed that business players offered aggressive pricing during summer when lower natural gas prices prevailed. JSC “Latvijas Gāze” for the first time in history implemented profit over volume strategy and decreased long term sales contracts in the portfolio during low price environment. Apart from warmer winter, this was the second factor that decreased natural gas sales. The opening of the Finish gas market since 1st January 2020 provided both opportunities and challenges for all natural gas traders. Balticconnector pipeline has not even come close to reaching its announced technical capacity during 2020. As a result, deliveries from Baltic region to Finland were heavily congested during winter season months. Our risk management approach limited committed sales to Finland and most of sales agreements were structured in a flexible way - taking into account potential congestion. Despite congestion the company successfully sold sizeable amount of natural gas in Finland. JSC “Latvijas gaze” successfully implemented up-to-date IT solutions, including customer portal and new billing system. The migration of 442 thousand customers’ contracts to new billing system was finalised, providing a competitive solution for customer service. The new IT solutions will allow significantly cut operating expenses in the medium term while staying customer oriented and focusing to increase the customer satisfaction at the same time. In the strive to contribute to greenhouse carbon reduction Latvijas Gāze group continues to develop CNG business in transport sector as CNG emits less CO2 than liquid fossil fuels. Furthermore, our strong team continues to exploit opportunities in renewable projects despite the fact that government incentives remain limited at present.

    BALTICA Volume 22 Number 1 June 2009 : 11-22 Changes in Latvia’s seacoast (1935-2007) Guntis Eberhards, Ineta Grīne, Jānis Lapinskis, Ingus Purgalis, Baiba Saltupe, Aija Torklere Eberhards, G., Grīne, I., Lapinskis, J., Purgalis, I., Saltupe, B., Torklere, A. 2009. Changes in Latvia’s seacoast (1935- 2007). Baltica, Vol. 22 (1), 11-22. Vilnius. ISSN 0067-3064. Abstract This paper presents the first compilation of available published scientific material from the 20 th century and results of research during the past 15 years in the seacoast process monitoring system. Using the first Latvian coastal land surveys from the 1930’s and analysis data from topographic maps from the 1980’s, changes in the Baltic coastline (growth and erosion) over a period of 50 to 60 years have been determined and maps of these changes have been made. The data indicates significant seacoast erosion that exceeds 50–60 m at the open Baltic seacoast, but reaches a maximum of 100–200 m, especially influenced by the large ports (Ventspils, Liepāja). Coastal erosion is significantly less along the coast of the Gulf of Riga. Coastal growth by the accumulation is seen along limited portions of the coast. During the last 15 years, coastal erosion due to severe storms has increased significantly by a factor of 1 to 3 times compared with the rate observed during the last 50–60 years of the 20 th century. Keywords Baltic Sea, coastal processes, storms, cartographic material analysis, change tendencies, influence of harbors, deficit of sediments.

Curtis A Thesis in the Field of Sustainability and Environmental Management for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University April 2019 1 Copyright 2019 Daryl D. Curtis 2 Abstract This research explored to what extent sustainability-related indices are attuned to millennial investor’s interests. Current and projected growth in millennials’ wealth, increases in sustainably-invested assets, millennials’ interests in sustainable investing, ESG integration in the investment profession, and the United Nations’ implementation of sustainability initiatives are amongst several factors which indicate there’s a demand for sustainability-related indexed products for retail and institutional millennial investors. The basis for this research is product issuers can only develop and bring to market sustainability-related index-based products (e.g., Exchanged Traded Funds (ETFs), mutual funds, tracker funds, and derivatives) for the millennial cohort if index providers construct indices based on millennial investors’ interests.
