Audit report To the Shareholders of OPA INVEST S.A. Following our appointment by the General Meeting of the Shareholders dated 15th April 2015, we have audited the accompanying annual accounts of OPA INVEST S.A., which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st December 2015, the profit and loss account for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Board of Directors responsibility for the annual accounts The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual accounts in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation of the annual accounts, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Responsibility of the "Réviseur d entreprises agréé" Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the "Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier". Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts. The procedures selected depend on the judgment of the "Réviseur d entreprises agréé", including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the "Réviseur d entreprises agréé" considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the annual accounts in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Significant accounting policies The Company maintains its accounts in euro (). The annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements under the historical cost convention. Accounting policies and valuation rules are, besides the ones laid down by the law of 10th December 2010, as amended, determined and applied by the Board of Directors. The preparation of annual accounts requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Board of Directors to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the annual accounts in the period in which the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the annual accounts therefore present the financial position and results fairly. The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company's principal valuation rules may be summarised as follows: (a) Formation expenses The formation expenses for the investment funds managed by OPA INVEST S.A. are totally amortised. (b) Debtors Debtors are valued at their nominal value. They are subject to value adjustments where their recovery is compromised, these value adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply. 9
