Limited (and Mr. Georgios Melissanidis, as the person ultimately controlling Georgiella Holdings Co. Limited), upon a legal and business review of the current status of the Emma Delta Shareholders' Agreement, that as of the date of entry into force of the Third Amendment to the Emma Delta Shareholders' Agreement (that is 27 June 2019), Emma Delta Management Ltd. is under the sole control of SAZKA Group a.s..
Thus, in accordance with the terms of the Emma Delta Shareholders' Agreement, as amended and restated on 27 June 2019, VALEA FOUNDATION exercises, through SAZKA Group a.s., sole control over Emma Delta Management Ltd. within the meaning of L. 3556/2007.
