RESULTS OF THE RIGHTS OFFER
Shareholders are referred to the rights offer to NEPI shareholders which
closed on Monday, 28 November 2011 in respect of pre-emptive rights holders
registered in Romania and Friday, 2 December 2011 in respect of
shareholders on the SA and UK share registers ("the rights offer").
Shareholders are advised that in respect of the 14 285 714 NEPI shares
("new NEPI shares" or "rights offer shares") which were offered,
shareholders and/or their renouncees applied for a total of 21 113 283 new
NEPI shares (148% of the new NEPI shares available under the rights offer).
The applications included excess applications for 8 674 131 new NEPI
shares, of which 1 846 562 new NEPI shares will be allocated equitably,
taking cognisance of the number of shares and rights held by the
shareholder immediately prior to such allocation, including those taken up
as a result of the rights offer, and the number of excess shares applied
for by such shareholder.
The rights offer was fully underwritten by Fortress Income 2 Proprietary
Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortress Income Fund Limited
("Fortress"). Given that the rights offer was fully subscribed for after
taking into account the excess applications received, Fortress will not be
allocated any rights offer shares pursuant to its underwriting obligation.

share certificates in respect of excess rights offer shares in certificated
form will be despatched to shareholders by Wednesday, 7 December 2011.
