Such forward- looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors beyond our control that could cause our actual performance or achievements to be materially different from future performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

This Report contains summary audited financial information for Adria Midco B.V. and its subsidiaries for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, unless another source, such as management accounts, is specifically mentioned. In addition, this Report contains summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for Adria Midco B.V. and its subsidiaries for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, which represents the arithmetical addition of the financial information of Adria Midco B.V. for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 (which includes the financial results of Slovenia Broadband S.à r.l. and its subsidiaries from March 1, 2014) and the financial information of Slovenia Broadband S.à r.l. for the two months ended February 28, 2014, after applying certain intercompany eliminations and making certain pro forma adjustments to give effect to the acquisition by United Group B.V. of Slovenia Broadband S.à r.l. and its subsidiaries on March 6, 2014, as though it had occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma financial information for Adria Midco B.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries is presented for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of the results of operations or financial position that we would have reported had the acquisition by United Group B.V. of Slovenia Broadband S.à.r.l. and its subsidiaries been completed as of the dates and for the periods presented herein and should not be taken as representative of our results of operations or financial condition following the completion of such transaction. Certain financial measures and ratios related thereto in this presentation, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditure, RGUs and ARPU (collectively, the ‘‘Non-IFRS Measures’’) are not specifically defined under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles. These measures are presented here because we believe that they and similar measures are widely used in our industry as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance and financing structure. Our management believes this information, along with comparable IFRS measures, is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the operating performance in the periods presented. These measures are used in the internal management of our business, along with the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, in evaluating the operating performance. These measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and are not measurements under IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles, and you should not consider such items as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS, and they may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. 2 FY 2015 HIGH YIELD REPORT Summary 28 April 2016 – United Group, the leading cable and pay-TV operator in South Eastern Europe, today reports its financial results for twelve months of 2015.
