Β. Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of “MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDINGS S.A.”
Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of “MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP
HOLDINGS S.A.(the Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated statements of financial position as at
December 31 2021, and the separate and consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,
statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and selected explanatory notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the company “MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDINGS S.A.” and its subsidiaries (the Group)
as at December 31 2021, the financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as incorporated into the Greek
Law. Our responsibilities, under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
separate and consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report. We remained independent of the Company and its
subsidiaries, during the whole period of our audit, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as incorporated in the Greek Law and we have
fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with current legislation requirements and the aforementioned Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
separate and consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters, as well as the related risks of material
misstatement, were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Restructuring of loan liabilities
As at December 31, 2021, the Group and the Company
present total loan liabilities of € 956.8 mil. and € 419.9 mil.
of which 195.8 mil. and 1.3 mil. respectively have been
classified as short-term liabilities.
On 14/05/2021 the Company completed the restructuring
of its existing loan liabilities (accounting balance 419.5
mil. as at December 31, 2021) and signed the relevant
contractual documents, based on which, the repayment
period of the Company's bank loan was extended for 3
years with the option of further extension for 1 year,
without interim repayments. In accordance with the
requirements of IFRS 9, the Company assessed that the
restructuring of its bank loans constitutes a non-significant
amendment to the terms of the loans, recognized an
accounting profit of 32.9 mil., and the amount of € 418.6
mil. has been classified in the long-term loan liabilities as
at December 31, 2021.
Furthermore, as at December 31, 2021, the Group’s short-
term liabilities include a loan liability (capital and interest)
of the subsidiary RKB amounting to 99.2 mil. as at
December 31, 2021, for which the restructuring process is
in progress as at the financial statements approval date.
The management and the creditor bank are currently
processing the loan agreements related to the
restructuring of the RKB loan obligation which is expected
to be completed within the next months. The creditor bank
has disclosed in writing its intention not to demand the
settlement of the existing loan (principal or interest
payable) until the completion of the restructuring.
In light of the above, management expects that the
Company and the Group will be in position to cover their
financial requirements for the next twelve months, while
maintaining sufficient cash flows. We focused on this
matter given the significance of the loan liabilities, as well
as management’s estimates regarding the timing of the
completion of the restructuring of the subsidiary’s loan
liabilities and the impact it will have on the Group’s future
liquidity.
The Group’s and Company’s disclosures relating to the
loan liabilities and the basis of financial statements
preparation are included in notes 3 and 25 to the financial
statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the
following procedures:
We reviewed and evaluated the contractual
documents signed by management regarding the
restructuring of the Company’s existing loan
obligations.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the
accounting treatment relating to the restructuring
of the Company's bank loans in the financial
statements.
We reviewed and evaluated the relevant
documents relating to the restructuring of RKB’s
loan liability, which is currently in progress.
We examined the cash flow budget of the
Company and the Group's subsidiaries for the
following twelve months and assessed the
reasonableness of the key assumptions and
estimates of future cash flows, taking into
account, inter alia, the available information on
the capital and interest repayments of the loan
liabilities based on the existing loan agreements
or other documents relating to their restructuring.
We examined the mathematical accuracy of the
cash flow budgets.
We assessed the adequacy of the related
disclosures in the financial statements.

Assessment of impairment of non-current assets
As at December 31, 2021, the Group has recognised
goodwill of 30.1 mil, intangible assets of 33.1 mil. and
tangible assets of 676.6 mil. Further, as at December
31, 2021 the Company has recognised investments in
subsidiaries of € 361.4 mil.
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS,
management performs at the end of each reporting
period, impairment tests for goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful life while for intangible assets
with definite useful life, tangible assets and investments
in subsidiaries impairment tests are performed only when
relevant indications exist. The abovementioned
assessment requires significant level of judgement.
The impairment test requires the identification of the
recoverable amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU)
as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value
in use. The assessment requires judgement by
management regarding the future cash flows of each
CGU (relating to variables such as revenue growth rate,
capital and operating expenditures) and the discount
rates applied to future cash flows.
Based on the impairment tests performed for the year
ended as at December 31, 2021, no impairment losses
were recognized for goodwill, intangible assets with
indefinite useful life and the tangible assets of the Group,
while an impairment loss of0.1 mil. was recognized on
investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial
statements.
Due to the importance of these financial statement items
and the management’s use of assumptions and
estimates, we consider the impairment assessment of the
abovementioned non-current assets as one of the key
audit matters.
The Group’s and Company’s disclosures relating to the
accounting policy, judgements and estimates used for the
impairment assessment of the abovementioned assets,
are included in notes 4.3, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 9, 10, 11 and 12
to the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the
following procedures:
We assessed management’s estimates regarding
the existence of impairment indications of these
non-current assets.
For those CGUs that impairment indications
existed, we evaluated: i) the appropriateness of the
methods applied for the identification of
recoverable amount and ii) the reasonableness of
the key assumptions and estimates of future cash
flows.
We evaluated the reliability of management’s
estimates during the preparation of the business
plans which are the basis of the valuations. Among
others, we compared and analyzed the budgeted
estimates /forecasts to the actual performance of
the CGUs.
We examined the mathematical accuracy of
discounted cash flow models.
For the abovementioned procedures where it was
deemed appropriate, we used Grant Thornton’s
specialist.
We examined for each investment in subsidiary in
the separate financial statements management’s
comparison of their carrying amount with the value
in use for the determination of the impairment
losses of the investment in subsidiaries in the
separate Financial Statements.
We assessed the adequacy of the related
disclosures in the financial statements.

Provisions and contingent liabilities from court cases
As at December 31, 2021, the Group and the Company
are involved under their capacity as defendants in
various and complex court cases during their normal
operations.
The recognition and measurement of provisions and the
measurement and disclosure of the contingent liabilities
related to court cases includes significant judgements by
management which take into consideration the estimates
of its legal advisors and as a result we considered this
area as one of the key audit matters. The estimates
relate to the outcome and the possible financial impact of
each case to the Group and the Company.
The Group’s and Company’s disclosures relating to the
provisions and contingent liabilities are included in notes
4.16, 5.12 and 45.3 to the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following
procedures:
We assessed management’s procedures
regarding the collection, monitoring and
assessment of pending court cases and respective
provisions recognized.
We received and evaluated the letters of both the
Group’s legal department and the external legal
advisors and we discussed with management and
the legal advisors, where necessary.
We evaluated management’s conclusions
regarding the impact of the pending court cases in
both Group’s and Company’s financial statements.
We assessed the adequacy of the related
disclosures in the attached financial statements.
Fair value measurement of investment property
As at December 31 2021, the Group has recognized
investment property at the amount of 211.8 mil. In
2021, the Group decreased the value of its investment
property by 20.5 mil. as a result of the derecognition of
3 investment properties in the context of the transaction
for the acquisition of the minority interest in the subsidiary
RKB. At the same time, fair value measurement of the
investment properties resulted in a decrease of € 0.7 mil.
Investment properties are recognized initially at
acquisition cost including any transaction costs and
subsequently at fair value. The fair value measurement
of the investment properties which has been assigned by
Group’s management to an independent appraiser is
based on significant estimates relating among others to
the range of market rentals, the rental adjustment factor
and the discount rate.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned factors
and the significance of this item to the Group’s financial
statements, we assessed the fair value measurement of
investment properties as one of the key audit matters.
The Group’s disclosures relating to the accounting
policy, judgements and estimates used for the fair value
measurement of the investment properties are included
in notes 4.8, 5.10 and 15 to the Group’s financial
statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following
procedures:
We tested management’s procedures regarding
the fair value measurement of investment
properties.
We assessed the independence, objectivity,
experience and knowledge of the independent
appraiser assigned by management to assess the
fair value.
We tested the reasonableness of management’s
assumptions and estimates used for the
assessment of the fair value of investment
properties. In addition, we tested the
appropriateness of the valuation methods used.
We tested on a sample basis the completeness
and accuracy of the data provided by management
to the independent appraiser, including
reconciliation to the lease agreements and
contracts.
For the abovementioned procedures where it was
deemed appropriate, we used an independent
expert.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the accounting
treatment relating to the derecognition of the
investment properties relevant to the acquisition of
the minority interest in RKB, after reviewing the
documents related to the above transaction.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information are included in the Management Report of the
Board of Directors, for which reference is made in the Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements and the
Representations of the Members of the Board of Directors, does not include the financial statements and the auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements do not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, we conclude, based on our audit, that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate that
matter. We have nothing to report, regarding the aforementioned matter.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the separate and
consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements
in accordance with the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as management determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s
and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease
operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (artic. 44 Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial
reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs, as incorporated into the Greek Law, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated into the Greek Law, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s and
Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Company’s or Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
© 2022 Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants Management Consultants | 58 Katehaki Av., 115 25, Athens | Τ: +30 210 7280000 F: +30 210 7212222 | www.grant-thornton.gr
up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company of the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Company and the Group to express audit opinions on the separate and consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the separate consolidated financial statements of the periods under audit and are therefore the
key audit matters.

to the reduction of its borrowing.

Page 16

The Group’s loan liabilities on 31/12/2021 amounted to 956.8 m compared to 1,047.1 m on
31/12/2020. The significant decrease by 90.3 m of the loan liabilities compared to 31/12/2020 is
mainly due to the reduction of the Company's borrowing.
On 31/12/2021, MIG Groups loan liabilities are analyzed as follows: Transportation € 4 75.9 m
(49.7% of the total), Real Estate and Other 61.4 m (6.4% of the total) and Financial Services 419.5
m (43.9% of the total).

investing activities amounted to 63.2 m compared to (68.6) m in the corresponding last year
period, of which (4.8) m (32.6) m respectively related to discontinued operations. The difference
is mainly due to the inflow from the sales of the Company's holdings in the VIVARTIA and
SINGULARLOGIC groups.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities (continuing and discontinued operations): Cash flows from
financing activities amounted to (48.0) m compared to the corresponding last year period which
were (1.8) m. The difference is mainly due to the reduction of the Company's borrowings which

Sales of the Transportation operating segment in 2021 amounted to 347.9 m, increased by 19.8%
compared 290.4 m in the corresponding last year period, despite the fact that it was affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic throughout the year, with restrictions on the movement of passengers as well as
the implementation of a reduced passenger protocol on vessels. A better performance in the transport
project as well as the consequent increase in turnover during the year 2021, are indications of a
gradual normalization of operations in the operating segment.
EBITDA amounted to 42.0 m compared to 40.4 m during the corresponding comparative period.
The increase in the fuel price (with the average price of marine fuel consumed in 2021 being by 32.4%
increased, compared to 2020), significantly affected the operating costs of the ATTICA group
resulting in the improvement of EBITDA to significantly lagging behind sales increase.
Losses after tax amounted to (13.3) m in relation to losses after tax (50.0) m during the
corresponding last year period. The improvement in the result is mainly due to the profit arising from
hedging part of the fuel price risk 13 m in 2021 against loss es of (24.6) m in 2020.
1.3.2 Real Estate and Other
Sales of the operating segment in 2021 amounted to 12.5 m compared to 13.1 m in the

is due to the repayment of the Company's loan liabilities from the outcome of the sale of holdings in
the VIVARTIA and SINGULARLOGIC groups, as well as to the profit from the modification /
restructuring of its bank borrowing in accordance with IFRS 9.

MIG MEDIA
On 18/03/2022 the subsidiary MIG MEDIA was put into liquidation.
5. PROSPECTS DEVELOPMENTS FOR FY 2022
On-going effect of COVID-19 pandemic in line with the geopolitical development, adversely
influencing fuel prices, are the key factors affecting MIG Group operations and results.
The Company has completed the settlement of its loan liabilities under favorable terms and in 2022
will focus on implementing its strategy, including the following triptych: a) Maximizing the value
of its investment in ATTICA group through appropriate actions in order to limit the effects of fuel
prices increases b) Completing the restructuring of the subsidiary RKB loan liabilities in line with
amending the companys operation in order to improve its profitability and liquidity and facilitating
rational management of the large number of properties owned by the company in Serbia c) MIG's
internal restructuring aimed at reducing operating costs.
The prospects of the business segments are analytically presented below as follows:
5.1 Transportation
ATTICA group
The transportation segment was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 as well as
in the first months of 2021. Restrictions imposed on passenger traffic and implementation of a reduced
passenger protocol on vessels adversely affected the routes between various destinations. Reduced
permitted capacity in combination with the increase in fuel prices created unprecedented conditions
globally, directly provoking loss-making activity of the company. Gradual liberalization of travel and
increased tourist arrivals in 2021 brought about a significant increase in demand for travel, thus
positively affecting the company's revenue. However, the rapid increase in oil prices boosted the
company's operating costs, therefore the increase in the company's EBITDA is significantly lower
than the increase in its sales.
The outbreak of war in Ukraine and the dramatic effects on the course of oil prices generate intense
uncertainty regarding the company's results in 2022. Despite the geopolitical instability, the estimates
appear to be positive in respect of the tourist flows in summer. However, the company takes all the
necessary measures (tariff adjustment, rescheduling routes, offsetting part of the cost of fuel, etc.) in
order to mitigate the adverse effects of the increase in the oil price by 28% from the beginning of the
year. Nevertheless, the term of geopolitical instability, the ongoing crisis in the energy market and
the course of the pandemic in the coming months constitute the factors that cannot be accurately
estimated.
5.2 Real Estate
RKB
The real estate segment in Serbia was not significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.
The company is indirectly affected by the macroeconomic environment and inflationary pressures
which reduce its clients disposable income and consumption.
In 2022 the company focuses its strategy on the following actions:
A) Completion of bank loan restructuring, which will lead to extending the repayment period,
reducing financial costs and partial write-off of default interest.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 23
B) Rational management of the companys assets throughout Serbia aiming at selectively selling some
properties that do not have satisfactory commercial results, strengthening cash flows and reducing
loan liabilities.
C) Enhancing the company's liquidity by increasing the average receivables turnover.
D) Increasing the number of new leasing contracts and renewing existing ones with more favorable
terms for the company.
E) Completion of the minority stake acquisition by MIG REAL ESTATE SERBIA (100% subsidiary
of MIG).
Given the above, the company's prospects seem moderately optimistic.
6. RISK AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
Τhe Company and the Group are exposed to risks pertaining to currencies, financing and interest
rates, fuel prices, credit and liquidity. The Group reviews and periodically assesses its exposure to
the risks cited above on a case by case basis as well as collectively and uses financial instruments to
hedge its exposure to certain risk categories.
Evaluation and assessment of the risks faced by the Company and the Group are conducted by the
Management. The main aim is to monitor and assess all the risks to which the Company and Group
are exposed through their business and investment activities.
The Group uses several financial instruments and pursues specialized strategies to limit its exposure
to changes in the values of investments that may result from market volatility, including changes in
prevailing interest rates and currency exchange rates.
The risk and uncertainty factors to which the Group and the Company are exposed are analyzed as
follows:
6.1 Currency risk
Euro is the Groups functional currency. The Group operates in foreign countries and, therefore, is
exposed to currency risk. This type of risk mainly arises from current or future cash flows in foreign
currency. In particular, ATTICA group is affected by exchange rates to the extent that the marine
fuels which are bought for the operation of its ships are traded internationally in US Dollars as well
as by exchange rates due to its participating interest in the subsidiary TANGER MOROCCO MARITIME
S.A. and in the associate AFRICA MOROCCO LINKS, whose currency is expressed in Moroccan
Dirhams. The largest percentage of MIGs and the Groups revenues and expenses are Euro
denominated. Likewise, the largest percentage of the Companys investments is denominated in Euro.
The Groups investment in the Serbian RKB is not exposed to significant FX risk , since the majority
of its assets (investment properties) are denominated in Euro and the major part of the inflows
associated with these assets is also in Euro.
On 31/12/2021, out of the Groups total assets and liabilities, 19.5 m and 0.6 m respectively were
held in foreign currency. A change in exchange rates by +/-10% would result in an amount of +/-
1.7 m recognized before tax in the Income Statement and an amount of -/+ 1.7 m recognized in
equity.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 24
6.2 Financing, Interest rate risk
Changes in the international macroeconomic environment affect the course of interest rates. A
potential increase in interest rates increases the debt service costs that the Group maintains its
financing as well as its new terms.
Bank debt constitutes one of the funding sources of the Groups investments. The Group's borrowing
rate usually consists of a fixed margin plus a floating rate (EURIBOR), which depends directly on
the amount and changes in interest rates. This fact exposes the Group to cash flow risk in case of
increase of EURIBOR. The Groups policy is to constantly monitor interest rate trends as well as the
duration of its financial needs.
As at 31/12/2021, assets and liabilities of 102.6 m and 956.8 m respectively were exposed to
interest rate risk. A change in interest rates by +/- 1% would result in the recognition of - / + 8.2 m
in the consolidated Income Statement and in Equity.
6.3 Fuel Price risk
ATTICA group, as well as all the shipping companies, are significantly affected by fluctuations in
fuel prices. It is to be noted that the cost of fuel and lubricants is the most significant operating cost
and represents approximately 44% of ATTICA group costs of sales in 2021. A change in the price of
fuel by 10% on an annual basis, will have affect the Groups income statement and equity by
approximately -/+ 13.0 m.
In addition, it is noted that from 01/01/2020 the new Regulation of the International Maritime
Organization is effective, which requires the maximum percentage of sulfur in marine fuels not to
exceed 0.5%, except vessels with a scrubbers system where fuel consumption with a sulfur content
of up to 3.5% is permitted. The fuel price with sulfur content up to 0.5% imposed by the new
Regulation is significantly higher than the fuel price with sulfur content of 3.5% and 1% used by the
Group until 31/12/2019, which has led to increase the cost of marine fuel.
The average price of marine fuels consumed by the Group in 2021 increased by 32.4% compared to
the year 2020.
Moreover, the Russian military invasion in Ukraine in February pushed the existent high fuel prices
to even higher levels, recording extreme fluctuations even on a daily basis. Indicatively, in February
2022, the average fuel price increased by 28% compared to December 2021.
ATTICA group management implement a series of actions such as, harmonization of its pricing
policy, optimization of vessel routes, reduction of speeds and performance of hedging activities for
the price of fuel for part of the quantity consumed in order to deal with any consequences.
6.4 Credit risk
Credit risk is the potentially delayed payment to the Group and the Company of current and future
receivables by counterparties.
Aiming at minimizing credit risk and bad debts, the Group has adopted efficient monitoring
procedures and policies per counterparty based on the counterpartys credibility.
The Group has set credit limits and specific terms of credit policy for all categories of its
customers. Moreover, ATTICA group has obtained bank guarantees from major customers, in
order to secure its trade receivables. As at 31/12/2021 there is no significant concentration of
credit risk in trade and other receivables, for which sufficient impairment provisions have not
been made.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 25
The Group performs transactions only with recognized financial institution of adequate credit
rating in order to minimize the credit risk in its cash available and cash equivalents.
6.5 Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies cash adequacy as well as the existence and availability of
necessary funding sources. The Group is managing its liquidity requirements on a daily basis through
systematic monitoring its short and long-term financial liabilities and through daily monitoring of the
payments made. Furthermore, the Group is constantly monitoring the maturity of its receivables and
payables, in order to maintain a balance between capital continuity and flexibility via its bank credit
worthiness.
Maturity of financial liabilities as at 31/12/2021 and 31/12/2020 for the Group and the Company is
analyzed as follows:

6.6 Risk of Accidents
Due to the nature of their operations, the Group's companies are subject to the abovementioned risk
that may negatively affect the Group's results, customers and/or operations. ATTICA group vessels
are covered by hull and machinery, protection and indemnity and war risks insurances.
6.7 Competition and Operations Seasonality risk
The competition between the companies operating in the transportation segment is particularly intense
and can adversely affect its sales and profitability.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 26
ATTICA group operates on routes with intense competition, which can further intensify the
companys efforts aimed at increasing the market shares in already mature markets. Moreover,
ATTICA groups sales are highly seasonal. The highest traffic for passeng ers and vehicles is observed
during the months between July and September, while the lowest traffic for passengers and vehicles
is observed between November and February. In contrast, freight sales are not significantly affected
by seasonality.
6.8 Risks related to domestic economic and market conditions
The Group's operations are significantly affected by the amount of disposable income and consumer
spending which in turn are affected by the prevailing economic conditions in Greece. Passenger
shipping is sensitive to the effects of any economic downturn on either the Greek economy or the
tourism market or even emergencies (COVID-19, war in Europe) which lead to reduced demand which
combined with potential oversupply would lead to reduced fares and occupancy, adversely affecting
the Group's profitability.
6.9 Capital management policies and procedures
The Groups targets in terms of capital management are the following:
to ensure the maintenance of high credit ratings and healthy capital ratios;
to ensure the Groups ability to continue as a going concern; and
as a holding company, to increase the value of the Company and, consequently, create value for
its shareholders through the value increase of its portfolio companies.
The Group monitors capital in terms of equity, less cash and cash equivalents (see Note 47.8)
6.10 COVID-19 Pandemic
The appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic in combination with the restrictive measures occasionally
taken to address it, such as lockdowns, restrictions on passenger traffic volume, etc., had an adverse
impact on the Group's financial operations, with particular emphasis on the Transportation operating
segment. The Group's Management as well as the managements of the separate operating segments,
having continuously evaluated all the new data, they have taken and continue to take measures to
reduce the impact of the pandemic on operation, financial performance and position of the operating
segments, with an ultimate goal to ensure their going concern and development.
The effects of the pandemic on every operating segment are analyzed as follows:
Transportation
Due to the pandemic and the consequent restrictive measures occasionally imposed by the Greek
State, ATTICA group's traffic volume continues to be decreased compared to the pre-COVID-19
period and especially in relation to 2019. However, the increase in the traffic volumes in 2021
compared to 2020, as well as during the first two months of 2022 versus the respective 2021 period,
marks a trend of gradual normalization of operations, expected to further improve following lifting
of the restrictive measures in March 2022. The reduction in passenger and vehicle traffic volumes has
led ATTICA group to deprive of a significant direct liquidity source. However, with the abolition of
the reduced protocol of passengers on board the vessels, this risk has been significantly decreased.
ATTICA group holds adequate liquidity level for working capital purposes and, at the same time,
tries to contain operating costs. At the same time, ATTICA group continues to improve its financial
position and take actions to further enhance its liquidity. More specifically, in 2021, ATTICA group
issued loans amounting to 94 m, while maintaining its strong capital structure and low leverage
ratio (52% net borrowing in relation to total employed capital). Following the abolition of the reduced
passenger transport protocol in March 2022, and provided that the pandemic continues its declining
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 27
course, the impact of the pandemic on ATTICA groups financial performance is estimated to be
significantly decreased this year. Finally, ATTICA groups management is constantly assessing every
new information with regards to the evolution of the pandemic and adjusts the vessels routes mainly
concerned about protecting ATTICA group's financial position and rendering the best possible service
to its customers and local communities.
Regarding ATTICA group’s loan liabilities, there are terms related to the observance of financial
ratios. The management is constantly monitoring the development in order to make a request in a
timely manner to the creditor bank obtaining its consent regarding the compliance obligations where
necessary.
Real Estate and Other
RKB subsidiary may face the adverse effects of the pandemic, as well as any restrictive measures
may affect the smooth operation of its commercial stores and, consequently, the company’s sales and
profitability. In 2021, RKB's sales and operating profitability were not significantly affected by the
pandemic. RKB's management will remain focused on maintaining or even increasing leased space,
while at the same time will seek to streamline its costs and improve its profitability. Under this plan,
RKB's management does not expect to face liquidity issues.

During 2021, the following events took place:
ATTICA group
Responsibility and Sustainable Development (including Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG)
issues) hold a significant position in the ATTICA group's business model and greatly affect business
decision making. We realize that the way in which we perform our operations and make decisions
affect a wide range of individuals, groups and organizations - our social partners, with whom we keep

in a two-way communication framework, presenting our progress in respect of the essential areas of
our operations, in line with initiatives and actions, implemented in order to ensure the responsible
operation of ATTICA group.
In particular, ATTICA group has adopted an integrative approach regarding the Responsibility related
issues, at all the hierarchy levels. The Chief Executive Officer has overall responsibility for
Responsibility and Sustainable Development issues at the Board of Directors level. At Top

issues related to the actual or potential impact its operations can have on each of the aforementioned
focus areas, taking into account, inter alia, the interests of important stakeholders, in order to organize
ESG issues more effectively and manage them in a meaningful and systematic way.

ESC RESPONSIBILITY & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
The following key non-financial issues are related to long-term sustainability and are essential to
ATTICA group, our shareholders and our social partners. The most important actions of the group,
taking into account the expectations of key stakeholders, are presented below as well.
ENVIRONMENT PILLAR
Our key commitment is to incorporate principles of sustainable development into our procedures and
implement environmentally friendly business practices, aiming at minimizing the environmental
impact that inevitably results from our operations. In collaboration with the Lloyds Register, ATTICA
group conduct the strategic planning for decarbonization.
As part of this commitment, we assess the environmental issues we face each year and seek to
minimize their impact on the environment. The most important of such issues are related to air quality
& energy consumption, use of raw materials & solid waste, water consumption & liquid waste.
Air quality and climatic change
We seek to operate responsibly towards the environment and perform our activities in a way that
reduces our environmental impact.
-
We evaluate annually our impact on the environment, through the Environmental Management
System that we apply, which is certified according to ISO14001.
-
We have certified all of our vessels for the proper and systematic monitoring, recording and
disclosure of carbon dioxide emissions according to the provisions of the European Regulation
EU MRV 757/2015.

-
We calculate the greenhouse gas emissions per energy source we use, most of which pertain to
fuel oil (both for shipping fuels and on-board electricity generation) and electricity (for office
operations) in order to identify areas where our environmental impact can be reduced.
-
We take actions that reduce our impact on gaseous pollutants mainly from the operation of the
vessels engines.
-
We seek to reduce our impact on the ozone layer applying environmentally friendly refrigerants
in our refrigerators and freezers, as well as through our cooperation with the suppliers that do not
use refrigerants as materials which have a significant effect on the ozone layer.
-
We strive to reduce noise pollution, since vessel docking and operation can be a potential source
of noise. Indicatively, we ensure the use of machinery and mechanical equipment, which comply
with the required standards on noise levels.
-
We take action to raise awareness and facilitate active participation of our employees and
customers in protecting the environment.
Raw Materials and Solid Waste
-
We recognize that raw materials are not inexhaustible, but finite, and prioritize the use of natural
resources as efficiently as possible. To achieve this, we implement programs to monitor use of
materials, reduce materials used, reuse materials, recycle materials and dispose materials
properly.
-
We implement initiatives to reduce use of materials, within the context of our efforts for efficient
use of natural resources, such as the use of multi-machines, most of which are recycled and
reconstructed, the use of reconstructed electronic equipment, the efficient use of spare parts and
other supplies (such as consumables) etc.
-
We take care of the reuse of consumables, where possible.

and lubricants), related to our activities and arising from the operation of our offices and vessels,
where possible.

extensively using, among others, seawater on board of vessels after appropriate treatment, perform
only absolutely necessary external cleaning, in case of rain or bad weather and we put special
labels to remind our passengers and employees about the responsible use of water in the
accommodation, hygiene and catering of our vessels BLUE STAR FERRIES and SUPERFAST
FERRIES, as well as in our offices.

Accounting Policy
The figures presented in this report have been calculated and are presented in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and their interpretations. Their preparation requires estimations
during the application of ATTICA group’s accounting principles.
Important admissions are presented wherever it has been judged appropriate. The accounting
principles used in the preparation of the table presented above are outlined in Note 3.
The current section is included in the Non-Financial Information Report for the first time, as
stipulated in EU Regulation 2020/852. The information presented herein abide by the Regulations
requirements and the Delegated Acts issued as of the time of this publication.
The related guidelines have a relative margin of interpretation and are constantly evolving to adjust
to the needs of the process. ATTICA group pays close attention to the related developments and will
adjust its approach accordingly regarding the assumptions and applicable methodology.
For the first reporting period (FY2021) the reporting obligations cover only the Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) of turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx) as
well as the accompanying information regarding their interpretation and calculation.
I. Turnover KPI. The proportion of Taxonomy-eligible economic activities from the total
turnover has been calculated based on the turnover from services corresponding to Taxonomy-
eligible activities (numerator), divided by the total turnover (denominator), both of which
referring to 2021. Specifically, the total turnover of ATTICA group is presented in Notes 8
and 33.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 38
II. CapEx KPI. The CapEx KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible Capex (numerator) divided by
total Capex (denominator). As for the reporting period 2021, we only report in the numerator
on CAPEX from taxonomy-eligible economic activities, as there are no CapEx plans to
upgrade a taxonomy-eligible economic activity to become taxonomy-aligned or to expand a
taxonomy-aligned economic activity. In addition, we have not reported purchases of output
from taxonomy-eligible economic activities and individual measures, enabling certain target
activities, as reliable statements on the taxonomy-alignment of our suppliers output are
currently not available and we are not obliged to assess the taxonomy-alignment of our
individual measures for the purposes of the simplified reporting. The total capital expenditure
contains the additions to property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets and right-
of-use assets during the fiscal year, before accounting for depreciation, amortization and any
re-measurements, including those resulting from any revaluations and impairments. The total
capital expenditure is presented in the Cash Flow Statement of ATTICA group which has been
consolidated in the Cash Flow Statement of MIG Group.
III. OpEx KPI. The OpEx KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible Opex (numerator) divided by our
total OpEx (denominator). The definition of EU Taxonomy for the operational expenses
includes expenses for research and development, renovation of buildings, maintenance and
repair, as well as any other direct expenses related to the day-to-day maintenance of property,
plant and equipment.
Total OpEx consists of direct non-capitalized costs relating to repair and maintenance
(denominator). It does not include expenditures relating to the day-to-day operation of PP&E
such as: raw materials, cost of employees operating the machine, electricity or fluids that are
necessary to operate PP&E.
Similar to CapEx above, for the reporting period 2021 we only report in the numerator on
OpEx from taxonomy-eligible economic activities, as there are no Opex plans to upgrade a
taxonomy-eligible economic activity to become taxonomy-aligned or to expand a taxonomy-
aligned economic activity.
In addition, we have not reported purchases of output from taxonomy-eligible economic
activities and individual measures, enabling certain target activities, as reliable statements on
the taxonomy-alignment of our suppliers output are currently not available and we are not
obliged to assess the taxonomy-alignment of our individual measures for the purposes of the
simplified reporting.

committee to be appointed as its Chair should
have served on the committee as a member
for at least one year, unless the committee
has not been established or operated in the

amendment of the contracts of the
executive members of the Board of
Directors is required, as the Company’s

BoD Members Suitability Policy
BoD MembersSuitability Policy is governed by the principle of transparency and aims to facilitate
high professional quality of the BoD members selected through impartiality and non-discrimination,
in order to ensure the effective operation of the Company based on the overall strategy and its
medium/long-term business objectives, and the fulfillment of the BoDs role in promoting the
corporate interests.
The Company monitors the effectiveness of the BoD Members Suitability Policy and evaluates it at
regular intervals or when deemed necessary. The Board of Directors is in charge of monitoring of the
implementation of the Suitability Policy, assisted by the Companys Nomination & Remuneration
Committee, when appropriate.
The BoD approves the amendments to the Suitability Policy based on relevant recommendations of
the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. If deemed substantial, the amendments are submitted
for approval to the General Meeting of Shareholders, in compliance with Article 3, para. 3, Law
4706/2020.
The Company has put in place a Succession Plan for its Board Members in order that the management
of the Companys affairs and the decision making process are smoothly continued in the event of
resignation of a Board Member.
BoD Members Suitability Policy is posted on the Company's website
(www.marfininvestmentgroup.com.
Diversity policy
Aiming at the enhancement of its development and competitiveness, the Company considers the
increased diversity in its Board of Directors as a basic element for the achievement of the strategic
targets of MIG Group, taking especially into consideration the various sectors where the individual
subsidiary companies operate.
In particular, the diversity of education, professional experience and origin among the members of
the Board of Directors facilitates the understanding of business organization and business affairs and
renders objective and constructive the exchange of opinions and the examination of the issues from
different perspectives, for the taking of successful decisions. In contrast, inefficient diversity could
lead to one-dimensional approaches and limited exchange of opinions, fewer ideas and challenges
during BoD meetings and perhaps to less effective supervision of the Board of Directors or the
executive members.
The Company encourages diversity of the BoD members and key executives without discrimination
in relation to nationality, race, language, religious or political beliefs, age, etc. Furthermore, the
Company encourages equal treatment and provision of equal opportunities irrespective of gender in
accordance with the applicable legislation, in order to ensure adequate representation per gender (at
least 25%, rounding any fraction to the previous digit).
3. Audit Committee
The main objective of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors exercising its
supervisory duties, ensuring the transparency of corporate activities and fulfilling the obligations and
responsibilities towards its shareholders and the supervising authorities. Therefore, the Audit
Committee reports to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Committee meets at least every three
months or whenever considered necessary.
The role of the Audit Committee includes, inter alia, the following:

performed after the entry into force of Law 4706/2020 on corporate governance - were presented to

3 BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION
3.1 Statement of Compliance
The consolidated and separate Financial Statements as of December 31st 2021 covering the 12 month
period from January 1st to December 31st 2021, have been prepared according to the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which were published by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and according to their interpretations, which have been published by the
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and have been adopted by the
European Union until December 31st 2021. The Group applies all the International Accounting
Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and their Interpretations, which apply to the
Groups activities. The relevant accounting policies, a summary of which is presented below in Note
4, have been applied consistently in all periods presented.
The aforementioned Financial Statements were prepared based on the going concern principle, which
implies that the Company and its subsidiaries will be in position to continue operating as entities in
the foreseeable future, taking into account the currently effective and projected financial position of
the Group.
As at 31/12/2021, the Group and the Company present negative working capital, since the current
liabilities exceed the current assets by 84.3 m and 3.0 m respectively.
The Groups short-term liabilities include a loan liability obligation (capital and interest) of the
subsidiary RKB amounting to 99.2 m on 31/12/2021, for which the restructuring process is in
progress at the date of approval of the attached financial statements. In particular, on 15/12/2021 the
Management received the approval of the creditor bank for the settlement of RKBs loan liability,
including the basic terms (see detailed Note 25). The Group's Management and the creditor bank are
currently processing the loan agreement related to the restructuring of RKB's loan liabilities
(including interests). Restructuring of RKB's loan liabilities is expected to be completed within the
next months. In this light, the creditor bank has notified in writing its intention not to claim the
existing loan capital or interest due until the restructuring is completed
On 14/05/2021 restructuring of the existing loan obligations of the Company was completed,
following signing the relevant contractual documents (see Note 25). In particular, the repayment
period of the Company's bank loan was extended by 3 years with the right of further extension by 1
year at the discretion of the creditor bank, without interim repayments. Following this, as at
31/12/2021 the total bank borrowing of the Company (accounting balance € 41 8,6 m) has been
classified as long-term loan liabilities. At the same time, pursuant to the Refinancing Agreement, the
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 74
issuance of Tranche C of the new CBL amounting to € 5 m is projected in order to finance the
Company's working capital needs.
In this context, the Company and the Group Management expects that the Company and the Group
will be in position to meet their financial needs, while maintaining sufficient cash flows.
3.2 Basis of Measurement
The Groups financial Statements have been prepared according to the principle of historical cost, as
modified for the fair value adjustment of the items to follow:
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through Profit & Loss (derivatives included);
Financial assets available for sale; and
Investment property.
3.3 Presentation Currency
The presentation currency is Euro (the currency of the Groups parent domicile) and all the amounts
are presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise mentioned.
3.4 Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements according to IFRS requires the use of estimates and
judgments on the application of the Companys accounting policies. Opinions, assumptions and
Management estimates affect the valuation of several asset and liability items, the amounts
recognized during the financial year regarding specific income and expenses as well as the presented
estimates on contingent liabilities.
The assumptions and estimates are assessed on a continuous basis according to historic experience
and other factors, including expectations on future event outcomes that are considered as reasonable
given the current conditions. The estimates and assumptions relate to the future and, consequently,
the actual results may deviate from the accounting calculations.
The aspects requiring the highest degree of judgment as well as the aspects mostly affecting the
consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Note 8 to the Financial Statements.
3.5 Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies based on which the Financial Statements were drafted, are in accordance
with those used in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements for the FY 2020, adjusted to
the new Standards and revisions imposed by IFRS (see par. 3.5.1, 3.5.2 and 3.5.3).
3.5.1 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are
effective and have been adopted by the European Union
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their
application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2021.
Amendments to IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts deferral of IFRS 9 (effective for annual
periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)
In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments that declare deferral of the date of initial application of
IFRS 17 by two years, to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. As a consequence,
the IASB also extended the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9
Financial Instruments in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts”, so that the entities are required t o apply
IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The amendments do not affect the

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: Interest Rate Benchmark
Reform Phase 2 (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)
In August 2020, the IASB has finalized its response to the ongoing reform of IBOR and other interest
benchmarks by issuing a package of amendments to IFRS Standards. The amendments complement
those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the
old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. More
specifically, the amendments relate to how a company will account for changes in the contractual
cash flows of financial instruments, how it will account for a change in its hedging relationships as a
result of the reform, as well as relevant information required to be disclosed. The amendments do not
affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases”: Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June
2021 (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/04/2021)
In March 2021, the IASB issued amendments to the practical expedient of IFRS 16, that
extend the application period by one year to cover Covid-19-related rent concessions that
reduce only lease payments due on or before 30 June 2022. The effect from the above amendment
to the consolidated Financial Statements amounted to 285k.
3.5.2 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have
not been applied yet or have not been adopted by the European Union
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they
have not been adopted by the European Union. In particular:
Amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations, IAS 16 Property, Plant and
Equipment, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and
Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (effective for annual periods starting on or after
01/01/2022)
In May 2020, the IASB issued a package of amendments which includes narrow-scope amendments
to three Standards as well as the Boards Annual Improvements, which are changes that clarify the
wording or correct minor consequences, oversights or conflicts between requirements in the
Standards. More specifically:
o Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual
Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business
combinations.
o Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting
from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced
while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize
such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
o Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify which
costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.

IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4.
The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of
insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based
standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital
markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about
insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB
issued amendments, which do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 has
first been issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in
the Standard, make financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by deferring the
effective date of the Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required
when applying the Standard for the first time. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its
Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the
European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (effective
for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation
of liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the
requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entitys right to defer
settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected
by managements intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer
settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirement s
for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments.
Furthermore, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to defer by one year the effective date of
the initially issued amendment to IAS 1, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Group will
examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any.
The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual periods
starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that pertain to accounting policy
disclosures. The objective of these amendments is to improve accounting policy disclosures so that
they provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements.
More specifically, companies are required to disclose their material accounting policy information
rather than their significant accounting policies. The Group will examine the impact of the above on
its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the
European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors:
Definition of Accounting Estimates (effective for annual periods starting on or after
01/01/2023)
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that they clarify how companies should
distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is
important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future
transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied
retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The Group will examine the impact of the

above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted
by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 12Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities
arising from a Single Transaction” (effective for annual periods starting on or after
01/01/2023)
In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to specify how companies should
account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations
transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and a liability. In specified circumstances,
companies are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the
first time. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required
to recognise deferred tax on such transactions. The Group will examine the impact of the above on
its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by
the European Union.
Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9
Comparative Information” (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In December 2021, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS
17 to address an important issue related to temporary accounting mismatches between insurance
contract liabilities and financial assets in the comparative information presented when applying IFRS
17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for the first time. The amendment aims
to improve the usefulness of comparative information for the users of the financial statements. The
Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to
have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
3.5.3 Implementation of the Final Decision of IFRS Interpretations Committee on Attributing
Benefit to Periods of Service (IAS 19)
In May 2021, IFRS Interpretations Committee (hereinafter the Committee”) issued the final agenda
(hereinafter the Decision) on Attributing Benefit to Periods of Service (IAS 19). This Decision
provides explanatory information on the application of the basic principles and regulations of IAS 19
as regards attributing benefit to periods of service under the defined benefit plan. This explanatory
information differentiates the way in which the basic principles and regulations of IAS 19 have been
applied in Greece in the previous years, and therefore, entities that prepare their financial statements
in accordance with IFRS are required to amend their accounting policy accordingly.
Until the issuance of the aforementioned Decision, the Group and the Company applied IAS 19,
attributing the benefits defined by article 8 of Law 3198/1955, Law 2112/1920, and its amendment
by Law 4093/2012 in the period from hiring until the employee retirement date. The application of
this final agendas decision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements has led to
attributing benefits in the last 16 years until the date of employee retirement following the scale
recorded in Law 4093/2012.
The Group and the Company treated the above Decision as a change to accounting policy, applying
the change retroactively from the beginning of the first comparative period, in accordance with
paragraphs 19 - 22 of IAS 8. The following tables present the effect of the implementation of the
final Decision for every affected item of financial statements. Any lines, not affected by the changes
brought about by the change to accounting policy, are not included in the tables presented below.

4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
4.1 Consolidations
4.1.1 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all the companies, which the parent has the power to control directly or indirectly
through other subsidiaries. The Company has and exercises control through its ownership of the
majority of the subsidiaries voting rights. The companies also considered subsidiaries are those in
which the Company, being their single major shareholder, has the ability to appoint the majority of the
members of their Board of Directors. The existence of potentially dilutive minority interests which are
exercisable during the financial statements preparation is taken into consideration in order to assess
whether the Company controls the subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated (full consolidation) under the purchase method from the date of
acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated
from the date on which control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the
acquisition of subsidiaries. As of the acquisition date, the acquirer shall recognize goodwill arising
from the acquisition that is measured as the excess of:
the aggregate of: (i) the consideration transferred measured at fair value (ii) the amount of any
non-controlling interest in the acquired company valued either at their fair value or the
proportionate shareholding of the non-controlling interests, times the net recognizable assets of
the acquired company; and (iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date
fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquired company, less
the net value of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed.
Goodwill is annually tested for impairment, and the difference between its book and its recoverable
value is recognized as an impairment loss in the period’s results.
Acquisition-related costs are costs (i.e. advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or
consulting fees) are recognized as expenses, burdening profit and loss for the period when incurred.
The opposite case, which is a business combination in which the net of the acquisition-date amounts of
the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, exceeds the consideration-transferred
amount then the transaction is characterized as a bargain purchase. Following all the necessary re-
examinations, the excess amount of the aforementioned difference is recognized as profit in profit or
loss for the period.
Intracompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies
are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction offers impairment
indications of the asset transferred.
Where necessary, the subsidiaries accounting policies have been modified to ensure consistency with
those adopted by the Group. Note 2 provides a full list of the consolidated subsidiaries alongside the
Groups shareholdings.
Subsidiaries financial statements preparation date coincides with the relevant date of the parent
company.
4.1.2 Investments in Subsidiaries (Separate Financial Statements)
The investments of the parent company in its subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment losses.
Impairment test is performed based on the requirements of IAS 36.

4.1.3 Changes in a parents ownership interest in subsidiaries
In case of changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary, it is examined whether the changes
result in a loss of control or not.
Changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are
accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners).
In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests shall
be adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference
between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the
consideration paid or received shall be recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners
of the parent.
In case the parents ownership interest changes in such a way that there is loss of control, then
the parent shall record the necessary accounting entries and recognize the result from the sale
(derecognition of the assets, goodwill and liabilities of the subsidiary as of the date of loss of
control, derecognition of the book value of non-controlling interests, determination of the result
from the sale). Following the loss of control of a subsidiary, any investment in the former
subsidiary is recognized according to the requirements of IFRS 9.
4.1.4 Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are the part of the subsidiary that is not attributed, directly or indirectly, to
the parent company. The losses that relate to the non-controlling interests of a subsidiary might exceed
the rights of the non-controlling interests in the parent companys equity. The profit or loss and the
total comprehensive income should be attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling
interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
4.1.5 Associates
Associates are the companies on which the Group has significant influence but not control. The
assumptions used by the Group are that a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights of
a company indicates significant influence on that company except where it can clearly be proved
otherwise. Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and are consolidated using the
equity method.
At the end of every financial year, the cost increases or decreases with the Group’s proportion in the
changes in equity of the investee company. The Groups share in the associates profits or losses
following their acquisition is recognized in the Income Statement whereas the change in the
associates reserves is recognized in equity reserves. When the Groups shareholding in the losses of
an associate is equal or exceeds the cost of its investment in the associate including any other doubtful
debts, the Group does not recognize further losses except if it has covered liabilities or made payments
on behalf of the associate and those deriving from its shareholder capacity. If in the future the
associate presents profits, the investor will begin to re-recognize its share in the profit, only when its
share in the profits becomes equal with its share in the losses not recognized.
Non-realized profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated by the
Groups shareholding in the associates. Non-realized losses are eliminated except if the transaction
indicates evidence of impairment of the transferable assets.
The accounting policies of the associates are modified in order to be consistent with those used by
the Group.

4.1.6 Investments in Associates (Separate Financial Statements)
Investments in associates in the separate Financial Statements are measured at fair values according
to IFRS 9 provisions for the assets available for sale. The investments are initially recognized at fair
value and any change in their fair value is recognized directly in equity to the extent that the change
does not pertain to any loss from permanent impairment in the investments value. As of 31/12/2021,
the Company did not have any investments in associates.
4.1.7 Investment in joint arrangements
Joint Arrangements are classified as either a joint venture or a joint operation depending on the
rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement.
Interests in joint ventures- under the equity method are initially recognized at acquisition cost and
then adjusted to the Group's percentage on the profit or loss as well as to other comprehensive income
of joint ventures. When the extent of the Group participation in joint venture losses equals or exceeds
its interest in this joint venture, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or advanced payments on behalf of the joint venture.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of
the interest in joint ventures. Moreover, unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless there is evidence
for the impairment of the transferred asset.
Moreover, regarding its interests in Joint Arrangements, the Group recognizes the following in its
consolidated financial statements:
a. its assets (including its share in any assets under joint arrangement),
b. its liabilities (including its share in any liabilities burdening it under joint arrangement),
c. its share in revenue from disposal of production under joint arrangement, and
d. its expenses (including its share in any expenses burdening it under joint arrangement).
4.2 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is defined as an agreement creating either a financial asset in a company and
a financial liability, or, a shareholding in another company.
4.2.1 Initial Recognition and Derecognition
Financial asset or financial liability are recognized in the Statement of Financial Position, when and
only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability (or part of it) is derecognized from the Statement of Financial Position, when and
only when the contractual liability is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired.
4.2.2 Classification and measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component and are
measured at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initial measured
at fair value adjusting for transaction costs except for financial assets measured at fair value through
profit and loss.
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into
the following categories:
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 82
a. Amortized cost
b. Fair value through profit and loss, and
c. Fair value through other comprehensive income
The classification is determined by both the entitys business model for managing the financial asset
and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented
within the items Other financial results, Financial expenses and Financial income”, except for
impairment of trade receivables which is presented within operating expenses.
4.2.3 Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss, amortized cost or fair
value through other comprehensive income. The classification is based on both criteria:
i. the entity s business model for managing the financial asset, meaning, whether the objective is
to hold for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or collecting contractual cash flows
as well as the sale of financial assets, and,
ii. whether the contractual cash flows of the financial asset consist exclusively of capital repayments
and interest on the outstanding balance (SPPI criterion).
The measurement category at amortized cost includes non-derivative financial assets like loans and
receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not tradeable in an active market. After
initial recognition these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, changes of fair value
are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and reclassified in Income Statement upon
derecognition of the financial instruments.
For financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are measured at their fair value and
changes of fair value recognized in gains or losses of Income Statement. The fair value of these
instruments is determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique
where no active market exists.
4.2.4 Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Groups financial liabilities include mainly bank loans and Bond Loans. Borrowings are initially
measured at cost, which is the fair value of the exchange received minus the cost of issuance. They
are then measured at amortized cost under the effective rate method. Loans are classified as short
term liabilities unless the Group maintains the absolute right to transfer the settlement of liabilities
for at least 12 months after the Financial Statements reporting date.
Financial liabilities may be classified upon initial recognition at FVTPL, if the following criteria are
met.
(a) The Classification reverses or reduces significantly the accounting mismatch effects that would
emerge if the liability had been measured at amortized cost.
(b) These liabilities belong to a group of liabilities, being managed or evaluated with respect to their
performance, based on fair value, according to the Groups financial risks management strategies.
(c) A financial liability contains an embedded derivative, classified and measured separately.
Convertible Bond Loans
The Group classifies a financial instrument it issued under equity or liabilities depending on the
instruments contractual terms. Convertible bond loans are divided in two parts: on the one hand, the
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 83
financial liability, and on the other, the equity component regarding the option the holder is granted
to convert the bond into common shares of the Company.
The financial liability is initially measured at present value of any future payments the Group has
assumed regardless of bond holdersexercising any option. The discount rate used is the market rate
in effect on the issuing date for a similar loan, excluding the embedded conversion option.
Subsequently, the liability is measured either at amortized cost by the effective rate method or at the
fair value according to the specific characteristics of each CBL. The interest derived from bond loans
is included in the Financial expenses account.
The residual value between the net product of issue and the present value of the financial liability,
after subtracting the corresponding income tax is directly credited to equity.
In case that the rule fixed for fixed” of IAS 32 is not qualified, the convertible bond loan constitutes
as a whole a compound financial instrument and as a whole (both the element of the loan and the
incorporated derivative in the form of conversion option) is classified as a financial liability.
Disposal of convertible bonds of the Company after their issue by companies of the Group is
accounted for in the consolidated financial statements in a way equivalent to the initial issue of bonds.
4.2.5 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
All financial derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value. Financial derivatives are presented
separately as assets when the fair value is positive and separate in the liabilities when the fair value is
negative.
The method of recognition of profit or loss depends on whether a derivative has been identified as a
hedged item and whether it is offset by nature of the item which is offset.
With the hedging of cash flows, the Group intends to cover the risks that cause a change in cash flows
and arise from an asset or a liability or a future transaction and that change will affect the income
statement. Examples of the Group's cash flow offsetting include future transactions in the shipping
fuel market, subject to changes in market prices.
The Group uses hedge accounting when at the commencement of the hedging transaction and the
subsequent use of the financial items derivatives it may also document the relationship between the
hedged item and the hedging instrument regarding the risk management and strategy for the hedging
decision. Moreover, hedge accounting is applied only when it is expected to be effective and can be
reliably measured and on an ongoing basis for every reporting period.
The Group has set a ratio of 1:1 as a hedge ratio for the relationship between the hedging instrument
(contracts) and the hedged item (oil).
Ineffectiveness in hedging may result from a) differences that may arise in the time difference between
the cash flows of the hedging instruments and the hedged item, and b) contingent change in the hedging
ratio of the hedging relationship resulting from the amount of the hedged item, which the Group
actually hedges, and the amount of hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to offset this
amount of the hedging item and c) contingent decrease in consumption due to route reductions.
Changes in the fair value of the effective component of the hedging instrument are recognized in equity
(Fair value reserves) through other comprehensive income, while the inefficient component is
recognized in the Income Statement.
The amounts accumulated in equity are transferred to the Income Statement in the periods when the
hedged items are recognized in the incomes statement.
The Group measures the fair value reserves at the lowest of the following amounts (in absolute sizes):
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 84
i) the cumulative gain or loss of the hedging instrument from the commencement of the hedging; and;
ii) the cumulative change in fair value (in present value) of the hedged item (i.e. the present value of
the cumulative change in the hedged expected future cash flows) from the commencement of the
hedging.
When a cash flow hedging item expires, is disposed or exercised without being replaced, or when a
hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative profit or loss in
the Equity at that time is transferred to the income statement,
Finally, it is to be noted that as far as hedge accounting is concerned, the Group continues to apply
the requirements arising from IAS 39.
4.2.6 Fair Value Measurement Methods
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are traded in active markets are determined by
the current bid prices without subtracting the transaction costs. As for non-traded financial assets and
liabilities, the fair values are determined by the application of valuation techniques such as an analysis
of recent transactions, comparable assets that are traded, derivative valuation models and discounted
cash flows.
The Group uses generally accepted valuation methods for the measurement of fair values of ordinary
instruments such as interest rate swaps and FX swaps. The data used is based on relevant market
measurements (interest rates, share prices, etc.) on the reporting date of the Statement of Financial
Position. Valuation techniques are also used for the valuation of non-traded securities as well as for
derivatives with no underlying assets. In this case, the techniques used are more complex and apart
from market data, they include assumptions and estimates for the future cash flows of the security.
The estimated future cash flows are based upon Managements best estimates and the discount rate
used is the market rate for an instrument having the same attributes and risks.
In some cases, the valuations derived from the generally accepted methods for valuation of securities
are adjusted to reflect factors which are taken into consideration by the market in order to value a
security, such as business risk and marketability risk.
The method used to determine fair value for financial instruments that are valued using valuation
models is described below. These models include the Group's assessment of the assumptions an
investor would use in performing a fair value valuation and are selected based on the specific
characteristics of each investment.
The Company, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 at the end of each reporting period of
the financial statements performs the calculations required in relation to the determination of the fair
value of its financial instruments. Investments in listed shares in domestic and foreign stock
exchanges are valued based on the quoted market prices for these shares. Investments in non-listed
shares are valued based on generally accepted valuation models which sometimes incorporate data
based on observable market inputs and sometimes are based on unobservable data.
4.2.7 Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of Financial
Position when the Group has a legally enforceable right and intends to settle both the asset and
liability simultaneously on a net basis amount.
Income and expenses are offset only if such an act is permitted by the standards or when they refer
to gains or losses that arose from a group of similar transactions such as trading portfolio transactions.

4.3 Impairment of Assets
The Group as part of the impairment tests at the end of each financial year:
i) Identifies and assesses the condition of the Greek economy, but also the performance of a
sample of companies in the relevant segment of each company.
ii) Collects, analyzes and monitors the information on previous performance, compared with the
financial development of the companies at the end of each reporting period. The analysis of this
data provides information in respect to achieving or not achieving the business objectives and
indicates the trend regarding the results and the financial performance of the companies at the
end of the annual reporting period.
iii) Examines the business conditions and the available information and estimates regarding future
developments in the economy and financial trends.
Taking into account that there are indications of impairments on each interim reporting date of the
financial statements the Group retests the assumptions of the business plans using as base the business
plan drawn up at the end of the previous annual reporting period and which relates to subsequent
financial periods with a five-year horizon.
4.3.1 Non-financial assets (goodwill, other intangible assets and tangible fixed assets)
For impairment measurement purposes, assets are classified into smaller groups of assets that can
generate cash flows independently from other assets or Cash Generating Units of the Group (CGU).
As result, certain assets are tested for impairment on their own while others at Cash Generating Unit
level. Goodwill is allocated to such Cash Generating Units, from which it is expected that benefits
will arise from synergies relating to business combinations, and which represent the smaller level
within the Group, where the Management monitors goodwill.
Cash Generating Units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are subjected to impairment testing, at
least on an annual basis. All other separate assets or Cash Generating Units are subject to impairment
testing when events or changes in conditions indicate that their book value may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount where the book value of an asset or a Cash
Generating Unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the highest between fair value less sale
costs and value in use. In order to define value in use, the Management defines the estimated cash
flows for every Cash Generating Unit, defining a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the current
value of these cash flows. The data used for the impairment test arise directly from recent calculations,
approved by the Management, suitably adjusted in order not to include future reorganizations and
improvements of assets. Discount factors are defined separately for every Cash Generating Unit and
reflect the corresponding risk elements, defined by the Management on an individual basis.
The Cash Generating Units impairment loss firstly decrease the book value of goodwill, allocated to
them. The remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets of each Cash Generating
Unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that the
previously recognized impairment loss no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if the
recoverable amount of a Cash Generating Unit exceeds its carrying value.
4.3.2 Financial Assets
The Group and the Company recognize impairment provisions for expected credit losses of all
financial assets except for those measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The purpose of IFRS 9 ‘s impairment requirements is to recognize expected credit losses over the
financial asset s lifetime, whose credit risk has raised after initial recognition, regardless if the
assessment is at a collective or standalone level, using all information which can be collected, based
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 86
on both historical and current data as well, but also data in respect of reasonable and supportable
forecasts.
In applying the above mentioned approach a distinction is made between:
o financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial
recognition or that have low credit risk (Stage 1),
o financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition
and whose credit risk is not low (Stage 2), and
o financial instruments that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date (Stage 3).
For financial instruments of Stage 1 are recognized as credit losses for the next twelve months period,
while for financial assets of Stage 2 or Stage 3 are recognized as credit losses over their lifetime.
Expected credit losses are defined as the difference between all the contractual cash flows that are
due to and the cash flows that are actually expected to be received by the Group or the Company.
This difference is discounted at the original effective interest rate of financial asset.
The Group applies the simplified approach of this Standard for assets instruments from contracts,
trade receivables and leases receivables by calculating the expected credit losses over the lifetime of
abovementioned instruments. In this case, the expected credit losses reflect the expected shortfalls in
contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial
instrument. In calculating the expected credit losses, the Group uses a provision matrix in which the
above mentioned financial instruments have been grouped in regard of balances nature and ageing
and by taking into account available historical data in respect of the debtors, adjusted with future
factors related to debtors and financial environment.
4.4 Conversion into Foreign Currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional currency and the
Groups reporting currency.
(a) Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities in the financial statements, including goodwill and fair value adjustments
due to business combinations, of the foreign subsidiaries, are converted into Euro by using the
exchange rates applicable on the Statement of Financial Position reporting date. Revenues and
expenses have been converted into the Group’s reporting currency by using the average exchange
rates prevailing during the financial year. Any differences arising from the said procedure have been
debited / (credited) to the FX translation reserve account of the subsidiaries while its recognized
in other income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Upon selling, elimination or
derecognition of a foreign subsidiary the above FX translation reserve is transferred to the Income
Statement of the period.
(b) Transactions in Foreign Currency
Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency by using the exchange rates
applicable on the date when the said transactions were performed. The monetary assets and liabilities
which are denominated in foreign currency are converted into the Groups functional currency on the
Statement of Financial Position reporting date using the prevailing exchange rate on that day. Any
gains or losses due to translation differences that result from the settlement of such transactions during
the period, as well as from the conversion of monetary assets denominated in foreign currency based
on the prevailing exchange rates on the Statement of Financial Position reporting date, are recognized
in the Income Statement.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 87
The non-monetary assets which are denominated in foreign currency and which are measured at fair
value are converted into the Groups functional currency using the prevailing exchange rate on the
date of their fair value measurement. The FX translation differences from non-monetary items
measured at fair value are considered as part of the fair value and thus are recorded in the same
account as the fair value differences. In case where currency risk is effectively hedged for
nonmonetary assets that are valued as available for sale, the part of the change in their fair value
which is attributed to currency fluctuations is recognized in the Income Statement for the reporting
period.
Gains or losses deriving from transactions in foreign currency as well as from the end of period
valuation of monetary assets, denominated in foreign currency, which meet the criteria for cash flow
hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income and cumulatively in equity.
4.5 Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are recognized in the Financial Statements at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and any potential impairment losses. The acquisition cost includes all direct costs stemming from the
acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent expenses are recorded as an increase in the book value of tangible assets or as a separate
asset only to the degree that the said expenses increase the future financial gains anticipated from the
use of the fixed asset and their cost can be measured reliably.
The cost of repair and maintenance works is recognized in the Income Statement when they are carried
out.
The depreciation of tangible fixed assets (excluding land, which is not depreciated) is calculated
based on the straight-line method over their estimated useful life as follows:
Tangible assets
Useful life (in years)
Buildings
40
Building facilities
6
Vehicles
5
Passenger vessels
35
High speed vessels
25
Ηydrofoil-flying dolphins
15
Vessels additions and improvements
5
Port facilities
10
Other equipment
3-5
The residual value and the useful life of each asset are re-assessed at the end of every financial year.
When the book values of the tangible fixed assets are higher than their recoverable value, then the
difference (impairment) is recognized directly as an expense in the Income Statement. Upon sale of
tangible assets, the differences between the sale price and their book value are recognized as profits
or losses in the Income Statement.
4.6 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include mainly software licenses, rights, and trademarks. Furthermore, in the
consolidated financial statements intangible assets are recognized at fair value which had not been
previously recognized in the financial statements of the acquired companies.
An intangible asset is initially recognized at cost. The cost of an intangible asset which was acquired
in a business combination is the fair value of the asset on the purchase date.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 88
Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization
and any impairment loss. Amortizations are recorded based on the straight-line method during the
useful life of the said assets. The period and method of amortization is reassessed at least at the end
of every reporting period.
(a) Software
The maintenance of software programs is recognized as an expense when the expense is realized. On
the contrary, the costs incurred for improving or prolonging the return of software programs beyond
their initial technical specifications, or respectively the costs incurred for the modification of the
software, are incorporated in the acquisition cost of the intangible asset, only if they can be measured
reliably.
(b) Trademarks
Trademarks are measured at cost less their accumulated amortization and any impairment losses.
Furthermore, trademarks are recognized at fair value based on the purchase price allocation (PPA)
into the assets and liabilities of the acquired company.
The cost of trademarks includes initial set up expenses as well as expenses relating to their registration
in Greece and abroad.
(c) Licenses
Licenses are recognized at fair value based on the allocation procedures regarding the consideration
effective under acquisition of assets and liabilities of acquirers. Licenses recognized when allocating
acquisition costs have indefinite useful life and are tested for impairment in every reporting period.
Below is a summary of the policies adopted regarding the useful life of the Group’s intangible assets:
Intangible assets

4.7 Goodwill
Goodwill arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates.
Goodwill is the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed of the acquired entity on the date of the acquisition. In the case where
a subsidiary is acquired, goodwill is presented as a separate asset, whereas in the case of an associate
acquisition, goodwill is included in the Groups investment in associates account.
On the date of acquisition (or on the date of completion of the purchase price allocation), the goodwill
is allocated to the Cash Generating Units or to the group of Cash Generating Units which are expected
to benefit from this business combination. Following the initial recognition, the goodwill is measured
at cost less accumulated losses due to its impairment. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested on a
yearly basis or more regularly if events or changes in conditions indicate that there might be a possible
impairment loss (please refer to Note 4.3.1 in respect of the procedures followed for a goodwill
impairment test).
If part of a Cash Generating Unit, to which goodwill has been allocated, is sold, then the amount of
goodwill corresponding to the sold part is included in the book value of the asset in order to calculate
the profit or loss. The amount of goodwill apportioned to the sold part is assessed based on the
relevant values of the part sold as well as on the remaining part of the Cash Generating Unit.

4.8 Investment Property
Investment property relates to investments in properties which are held (either through acquisitions
or through leasing) by the Group, either to generate rent from its lease or for the increase in its value
(increased capital) or for both purposes and are not held: a) to be used for production or distribution
of raw materials / services or for administrative purposes; and b) for the sale as part of the company’s
ordinary activities.
Investment property is initially valued at purchase cost including transaction expenses. Subsequently,
it is measured at fair value. Independent appraisers with adequate experience in the location and in
the nature of investment properties measure the fair value.
The book value recognized in the Group’s Financial Statements reflects the market conditions on the
date of the reporting date of the Statement Financial Position. Every profit or loss derived from the
fair value revaluations of the investment is recognized in the Income Statement for the period in
which it has been recognized (for the result recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income
for the presented period please refer to Note 15).
Properties which are under construction or utilized in order to be used as investment properties in the
future are included in investment properties account. In the case where the company is not in a
position to measure the fair value of the property which is under construction, but expects to be in a
position to measure its fair value upon completion, the investment property under construction will
be measured at cost up to the time when it will be feasible to measure the fair value or when the
construction will be complete.
Property transfers from investment property to fixed assets take place only when there is a change in
the use of the said property which is proven by the Groups own use of the property or by the Groups
commencement to develop this property for sale.
An investment property is derecognized (eliminated from the Statement of Financial Position) when
it is sold, or it is permanently retired and when the investment is not expected to generate future
economic benefits from its sale. The profits or losses from the retirement or sale of investment
properties are derived from the difference of the net proceeds from the sale and the book value of the
asset and are recognized in the Income Statement for the period in which the asset was sold or
withdrawn.
4.9 Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lowest price between cost and net liquidation value. The cost of finished
and semi-finished products includes all costs incurred to obtain and process up to their current state
and it includes raw materials, labor costs, general industrial expenses (based on normal operating
capacity but excluding cost of debt) and packaging costs. The cost of raw material and of finished
products is defined according to the average cost.
The net realizable value of finished and semi-finished products is the estimated selling price during
the ordinary operations of the Group minus the estimated costs for their completion and the estimated
costs for their sale. The net liquidation value of raw material is the estimated replacement cost during
the Companys ordinary operations. A provision for slow-moving or impaired inventories is formed
when necessary.

4.10 Leases
The Group as a lessee
For every new contract signed, the Group assesses whether the contract constitute, or involves, a
lease. A lease constitutes or involves a lease if the contract grants the right-of-use of an identified
asset for a period against a fixed consideration. In this context, the Group assesses whether:
the contract grants the right-of-use of an identified asset, which is either expressly specified
in the contract or indirectly if expressly specified at the time the item becomes available for
use by the Group,
the Group has the right to substantially receive all financial benefits from the use of the
identified, and
the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
Leases are recognized in the Statement of Financial Position as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
at the date the leased asset becomes available for use.
The rights-of-use assets are initially measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment. The cost, at initial recognition, includes the amount of initial measurement of the lease
liability, initial costs directly attributable to the lease, costs of rehabilitation and the lease payments
made on or prior to the effective date, reduced by the amount of discounts or other incentives.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the rights-of-use assets are amortized at the straight-line basis over
the shorter period between the asset's useful life and its lease term and is subject to impairment test
if relative indications are identified.
Lease liabilities are initially recognized at amount equal to the current value of the leases over the
entire term of the lease and include conventional fixed lease payments, variable payments that depend
on an index and amounts related to residual payments that are expected to be paid. T hey also include
the exercise price of the purchase option, as well as amounts of penalties for terminating the lease if
the lessor is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The interest rate implicit in the lease is used
to calculate the present value of the lease, or in the event that this is not specified in the contract, the
incremental borrowing rate. This interest rate represents the cost that the lessee should pay to borrow
the capital needed to acquire an asset with similar characteristics, and conditions with the leased asset
in a similar economic environment.
After initial recognition, the amount of the lease liabilities is increased by their financial cost and
decreased by the lease payments. In the event, there is a change in the lease payments due to a change
in an index, in measuring the residual value or in evaluating an exercise price of the purchase option,
extending or terminating the lease, then the amount of the liability is reassessed.
The Group has chosen to make use of the facilitation practices provided for in IFRS 16 for short-term
leases (leases with a maturity less than 12 months) and for low-value leases. Lease payments for these
leases are recognized as expenses in the consolidated Income Statement using the fixed method.
In the Statement of Financial Position the right-of-use assets are presented in Fixed Assets, while
the lease liabilities are presented separately.
Sale and leaseback
For sale and leaseback transactions which constitute finance leases, any positive difference from the
sale of the asset with respect to its book value is not recognized immediately as income from the
Company but is rather recognized as deferred income in the financial statements which is amortized
over the leases duration.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 91
If the fair value of the asset during its sale and leaseback is lower than its book value, then the loss
derived from the difference between the book value and the fair value is not immediately recognized,
except if the asset is impaired in which case the assets book value is decreased to its recoverable
value according to IAS 36.
The Group as a lessor
The Group's leases as a lessor are classified as operating or finance. A lease is classified as financial
if it transfers substantially all the risks and benefits related to the ownership of the identified asset.
On the contrary, a lease is classified as operating if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and
benefits related to the ownership of the asset.
Lease income from operating leases is recognized under the terms of the fixed method lease. Initially,
direct costs burdening the Group in the negotiation and agreement of an operating lease are added to
the book value of the leased asset and are recognized throughout the lease term as lease income.
Assets under finance lease are derecognized and the Group recognizes a receivable equal to the net
investment in the lease. Lease receivables are discounted by the realized interest rate method and the
book value is adjusted accordingly. Leases collected are increased on the basis of interest on the
receivables and are decreased by the lease collections.
4.11 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Deposits
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted deposits include cash in hand, sight deposits, term deposits,
bank overdrafts and other highly liquid investments that are directly convertible into particular
amounts of cash equivalents which are not subject to significant value change risk. They also include
separately the Group’s and the Companys blocked deposits.
For purposes of preparing the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents
consist of cash in hand, bank deposits as well as cash equivalents as defined above.
4.12 Share Capital and Treasury Shares
The share capital is defined according to the nominal value of the shares issued by the Company. A
share capital increase by cash payment includes every share premium at the initial share capital
issuance.
(a) Share capital increase expenses
Expenses directly related to a share capital increase are shown subtracted from equity after deducting
tax.
(b) Dividends
Shareholders dividends are recognized as a liability within the financial year approved by the General
Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders.
(c) Treasury shares
Parent company shares owned by the parent or its subsidiaries are recognized at acquisition cost, are
included in the Treasury Shares account and are subtracted from the parent company’s equity until
they are cancelled, reissued or resold. Treasury share acquisition cost includes transaction
expenditures, after excluding the corresponding income tax. The parent companys treasury shares do
not reduce the number of outstanding shares; they do, nevertheless, affect the number of shares
included in the earnings per share calculation. The parent companys treasury shares are not entitled
to a dividend. The difference between the acquisition cost and the final price from reselling (or
reissuing) the treasury shares is recognized in equity and is not included in the net result for the
financial year. On 31/12/2021, the Group did not hold any treasury shares.

Page 92
4.13 Income Tax and Deferred Tax
The income tax charge includes current taxes, deferred tax and the differences of preceding financial
yearstax audits.
Current income tax
Current tax is calculated based on the tax statements of Financial Position from each one of the
companies included in the consolidated Financial Statements, according to the tax laws applicable in
Greece or other tax regulations applicable for foreign subsidiaries. The income tax expense includes
income tax based on each company’s profits as presented on their tax declarations and provisions for
additional taxes and is calculated based on the dully or in principal constituted tax rates.
Deferred income tax
Deferred taxes are the taxes or the tax reliefs from the financial encumbrances or benefits of the
financial year in question, which have been allocated or shall be allocated to different financial years
by the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is determined under the liability method deriving from the
temporary differences between the book value and tax base of assets and liabilities. There is no
deferred income tax if it derives from the initial recognition of an asset or liability at a transaction,
other than at a business combination, and the recognition did not affect either the accounting or the
tax profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured in accordance with the tax rates in effect in the
financial year during which an asset or a liability shall be settled, taking into account the tax rates
(and tax regulations) which have been or are effectively in force until the Statement of Financial
Position reporting date. In case where it is not possible to clearly determine the time needed to reverse
the temporary differences, the tax rate applied is the one in force in the day after the Statement of
Financial Position reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized when there is taxable income and a temporary difference which
creates a deferred tax asset. Deferred tax assets are re-examined on each reporting date and are
decreased to the extent where there won’t be sufficient taxable income to allow the utilization of the
benefit as a whole or in part of the deferred tax asset.
Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences derived from investments in
subsidiaries and associates, except in the case whereby the temporary differences reversal is
controlled by the Group and is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the
foreseeable future.
Most changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expenses in
the Income Statement for the financial year. Only those changes in assets and liabilities which affect
the temporary differences are recognized directly in the Groups equity resulting in the relative
change in deferred tax assets or liabilities to be recognized in equity.
Profits from shipping activities
According to Law 27/1975, Article 6, the ship-owners companies whose vessels are carrying the
Greek flag or foreign flag but have established their offices in Greece under Law 89/67 pay taxes
based on the gross tonnage of the vessels, regardless of profits or losses. This tax is in effect an
income tax which is readjusted according to the above law.
After the payment of the aforementioned tax, every liability relating to income tax from shipping
activities is settled. In this case, a permanent difference is created between accounting and taxable
income, as a result the difference is not taken into consideration for the calculation of deferred
taxation.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 93
Profits from non-shipping activities
In this case we calculate the total income by adding the income from non-shipping activities. Non-
vessel expenses are allocated based on the gross registered tonnage of each vessel.
The profit arising from the above calculation, referring to non-shipping activities, is taxable under
the general provisions.
4.14 Government grants
Government grants related to grants for assets are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable
assurance that the grant will be received and that all the relevant conditions attached will be met.
These grants are recognized as deferred income, which is recognized in the profits or loss of each
reporting period in equal instalments based on the useful life of the asset after deducting all related
depreciation expenses.
Grants relating to expenses are recognized after deducting all the relevant expenses during the period
required for their systematic correlation with subsidized expenses.
4.15 Employee Benefits
Short-term Benefits: Short-term benefits to personnel (except for termination of employment
benefits) in cash and in kind are recognized as an expense when considered accrued. Any unpaid
amount is recognized as a liability, whereas in case the amount already paid exceeds the benefits
amount, the entity identifies the excess as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the
prepayment shall lead to a future payments reduction or refund.
Retirement Benefits: Benefits following termination of employment include lump-sum severance
grants, pensions and other benefits paid to employees after termination of employment in exchange
for their service. The Groups liabilities for retirement benefits cover both defined contribution plans
and defined benefit plans.
The defined contribution plans accrued cost is recognized as an expense in the financial year where
it relates. Pension plans adopted by the Group are partly financed through payments to insurance
companies or state social security funds.
(a) Defined Contribution Plan
Defined contribution plans pertain to contribution payment to Social Security Organizations and
therefore, the Group does not have any legal obligation in case the Fund is incapable of paying a
pension to the insured person. The employers obligation is limited to paying the employers
contributions to the Funds. The payable contribution by the Group in a defined contribution plan is
identified as a liability after the deduction of the paid contribution, while accrued contributions are
recognized as an expense in the Income Statement.
(b) Defined Benefit Plan (non-funded)
Under Laws 2112/20 and 4093/2012, the Company must pay compensation upon retirement or
termination to its employees. The amount of compensation paid depends on the years of service, the
level of wages and the way of leaving service (dismissal or retirement). The entitlement to participate
in these plans is usually based on years of service of the employee until retirement.
The liability recognized in the Statement of financial Position for defined benefit plans is the present
value of the liability for the defined benefit less the plan assetsfair value (reserve from payments to
an insurance company), the changes deriving from any actuarial profit or loss and the service cost.
The defined benefit commitment is calculated on an annual basis by an independent actuary through
the use of the projected unit credit method. Regarding FY 2021, the selected rate follows the tendency

of iBoxx AA Corporate Overall 10+ EUR indices, which is regarded as consistent with the provisions
of IAS 19, i.e. is based on bonds corresponding to the currency and the estimated term relative to
employee benefits as well as appropriate for long-term provisions.
A defined benefit plan establishes, based on various parameters, such as age, years of service and
salary, the specific obligations for payable benefits. Provisions for the period are included in the
relative staff costs in the accompanying separate and consolidated Income Statements and comprise
of the current and past service cost, the relative financial cost, the actuarial gains or losses and any
possible additional charges. Regarding unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, the revised IAS 19 is
applied, which includes a number of changes to accounting for defined benefit plans, including:
recognition of actuarial gains/losses in other comprehensive income and their permanent
exclusion from the Income Statement,
non-recognition of the expected returns on the plan investment in the Income Statement but
recognition of the relative interest on net liability/(asset) of the benefits calculated based on the
discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation,
recognition of past service cost in the Income Statement at the earliest between the plan
modification date or when the relative restructuring or terminal provision are recognized,
other changes include new disclosures, such as quantitative sensitivity analysis.
4.16 Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities
Provisions are recognized when the Group has present legal or imputed liabilities as a result of past
events; their settlement is possible through resources outflow and the exact liability amount can be
reliably estimated. The provisions are reviewed on the date of the Financial Statements and are
adjusted accordingly to reflect the present value of the expense expected for the settlement of the
liability. Restructuring provisions are identified only if there is a detailed restructuring plan and if
Management has informed the affected parties on the plans key points. When the effect of the time
value of money is significant, the provision is calculated as the present value of the expenses expected
to be incurred in order to settle this liability.
If it is no longer probable that an outflow will be required in order to settle a liability for which a
provision has been formed, then it is reversed.
In cases where the outflow due to current commitments is considered improbable or the provision
amount cannot be reliably estimated, no liability is recognized in the financial statements.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed except if the
probability of an outflow, which encompasses economic benefits, is scarce. Possible inflows from
economic benefits for the Group which do not meet the criteria of an asset are considered a contingent
asset and are disclosed when the inflow of the economic benefits is probable.
4.17 Revenues-Expenses Recognition
For the recognition and measurement of revenues from contracts with customers, a new model is
followed which includes a 5-step process.
1. Identifying the contract with a customer.
2. Identifying the performance obligations.
3. Identifying the transaction price.
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations.
5. Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange
for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 95
third parties (value added tax, other taxes on sales). If the amount of consideration is variable, then
the Group estimates the amount of consideration which will be entitled for transferring promised goods
or services with the method of expected value or the method of most probable amount. Transaction
price, usually, is allocated to each performance obligations on the base of relevant stand-alone selling
prices of promised contract, distinct good or service.
Revenues are recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied, either at a point in time
(usually for obligations relevant to transfer of goods at a client) or over time (usually for obligations
relevant to transfer of services to a client).
The Group recognizes a contractual obligation for amounts received from clients (prepayments) in
respect of performance obligations which have not been fulfilled, as well when it retains right on an
amount of consideration which is unreserved (deferred income) before the execution of contract ‘s
performance obligations and the transfer of goods or services. The contractual obligation is
derecognized when the performance obligations have been executed and the revenue has been
recognized in Income Statement.
The Group recognizes trade receivable when exists an unconditional right to receive an amount of
consideration for executed performance obligations of the contract to the client. Respectively the
Group recognizes an asset from contracts when it has satisfied the performance obligations, before
client s payment or before become due the payment, for example when the goods or the ser vices are
transferred to the client before the Group ‘s right to issue the invoice.
Revenue is recognized as follows:
Income from charters of vessels: Income from charters of vessels is recognized when the
passenger makes the voyage.
Revenues from government grants from barren lines itineraries are recognized during the period
they occur and included in Sales.
Revenue from chartering: Revenues from chartering are recognized on an accrual basis, as
stated in the charter agreement.
Income from sales of services on board of ships: Group offer its services either directly to the
customer or through contractors issuing upon completion the invoice or services rendered
invoice. Revenue is recognized based on services rendered (accrual basis income).
Income from rentals: Revenue from operating leases of the Groups investment properties is
recognized gradually during the lease.
Interest and Dividend income: Interest income is recognized using the effective rate method
which is the rate which is accurately discounts estimated future cash flows to be collected or paid
in cash during the estimated life cycle of the financial asset or liability, or when required for a
shorter period of time, with its net book value.
Dividends are recognized as income upon establishing their collection right.
Expenses: Expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the period on an accrual basis. Payments
made under operating leases are transferred to the Income Statement as an expense at the time of
use of the leased asset.
The interest expense is recognized on an accrual basis.

4.18 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying asset, which will require considerable time until the asset is ready for the suggested use or
disposal, form part of the acquisition cost of that asset until the asset it ready for the suggested use
or disposal. In other cases, the borrowing costs burden profit or loss of the period when incurred.
4.19 Profit or loss from discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that is either disposed of or classified as held
for sale and
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
is part of a unified, coordinated disposure plan for a large part of business or geographical area
of operations or
is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to be resold.
Profit or loss from discontinued operations, including profit or loss of the comparative period are
presented as a separate line in the Income Statement. This amount constitutes the after tax results of
discontinued operations and after-tax profit or loss resulting from the valuation and disposal of the
assets classified as held for sale (please refer to Note 7).
The disclosures of discontinued operations of the comparative period include disclosures for earlier
periods presented in Financial Statements so that the disclosures relate to all the operations that have
been discontinued until the last date of the latest period presented. In cases where operations,
previously classified as discontinued operations, are now continuing operations, disclosures of the
prior periods are adjusted accordingly.
4.20 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (Basic EPS) are calculated by dividing the profit after tax that is attributable
to the shareholders of the parent company with the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of ordinary shares acquired as treasury
shares.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit after tax that is attributable to the
shareholders of the parent company (after adjusting for the post tax interest expense of the convertible
securities) with the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the period (adjusted for
diluted shares).
The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the accounting period as well as
during all presented accounting periods is adjusted in relation to the events that have altered the
number of outstanding ordinary shares without the corresponding alteration of the resources.
4.21 Operating segments
The Companys BoD is the main corporate body responsible for business decision -making. The BoD
reviews all of the internal financial reports in order to assess the Companys and Groups performance
and take decisions on the allocation of resources. The Management has set the operating segments
based on the said internal reports. The BoD uses different criteria in order to assess the Groups
activities which vary according to the nature of each segment, taking into consideration the risks
involved and their cash requirements.
MIGs operating segments are defined as the segments in which the Group operates and on which the
Groups management information systems are based.

Page 97
It should be noted that due to the aggregation criteria and the nature of MIG’s activities (buyouts and
equity investments) some of the subsidiaries present or may present similar performance on a long-
term basis as if they were operating in the same segment and hence are aggregated and considered as
one operating segment. For the segmentation, the following have been taken into consideration:
the nature of the products and services;
the type of customer for the products and services;
the methods used in distributing products and services;
the regulatory framework; and
the potential risks involved.
Following the application of IFRS 8 and based on the Managements approach have been identified
the following operating segments. The operating segments of the Group and the main consolidated
companies (subsidiaries and associates) are presented below:
Transportation (MIG SHIPPING, ATTICA),
Financial Services (MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP, MIG AVIATION HOLDINGS, MIG
LEISURE, TOWER TECHNOLOGY, ATHENIAN ENGINEERING),
Real Estate and Other (MIG REAL ESTATE SERBIA, RKB, MIG MEDIA).
4.22 Non-current assets classified as held for sale and discontinued operations
The Group classifies a long-term asset or a group of long-term assets and liabilities as those held for
sale if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than
through continuing use.
The basic requirements in order to classify a long-term asset or group of assets as held for sale is that
the asset (or group of assets) must be available for sale in its present condition while the sale should
be subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets and must also be highly
probable.
In order for a sale to be considered extremely possible, the following conditions should be applied:
management must be committed in relation to a plan to sell the asset or the group of assets,
a process to identify a buyer and complete the transaction has to be initiated,
the asset or group of assets under disposal must be offered for sale at a price that is reasonable
compared to the concurrent market value of such assets,
the sale must be expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification of the
asset or group of assets as assets held for sale, except for specific exceptions, and
the actions required to complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant
changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or group of assets and liabilities) as held for
sale, the carrying amount of the asset (or group of assets and liabilities) will be measured in
accordance with applicable IFRS.
Long-term assets (or group of assets and liabilities) classified as held for sale are measured (after the
initial classification as mentioned above) at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less
costs to sell and the impairment losses are recorded in the Income Statement. Any increase in fair
value under a subsequent valuation is recorded in the Income Statement but not for an amount
exceeding the cumulative impairment loss that had been initially recognized.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 98
Starting from the date a long-term asset (or group of assets and liabilities) is classified as held for
sale, depreciation is not recognized on such a long-term asset.
5 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENTS
The preparation of the Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) requires the Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which
affect assets and liabilities, contingent receivables and liabilities disclosures as well as revenues and
expenses during the periods presented.
In particular, amounts included in or affecting the financial statements, as well as the related
disclosures, are estimated through making assumptions about values or conditions that cannot be
known with certainty at the time of preparation of the financial statements and therefore actual results
may differ from what has been estimated. An accounting estimate is considered significant when it is
material to the financial position and income statement of the Group and requires the most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments of the management. Estimates and judgments of the Management
are based on past experience and other factors, including expectations for future events that are
deemed to be reasonable in the circumstances, and are constantly reassessed on the basis of all
available information. The Group assesses such estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical
results and experience, holding meetings with experts, trends and other methods that are considered
reasonable in the circumstances, as well as projections regarding their potential change in the future.
(1) Business Combinations
At initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are included in the
consolidated Financial Statements at their fair value. Upon fair values measurements, the
Management makes estimates on future cash flows; however, actual results may differ. Any change
in the measurement after the initial recognition will affect the measurement of goodwill. Details on
the acquired assets and liabilities are analyzed in Note 6.
(2) Estimates when calculating value under Cash Generating Units (CGU)
The Group conducts a related impairment test of investments in subsidiaries and associates whenever
there is evidence of impairment in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36. If it is established that
there are reasons for impairment, it is necessary to calculate value in use and fair value less costs to
sell regarding every CGU. Recoverable amounts of CGUs are determined for impairment tests
purposes, based on the value in use calculation, which requires making estimates. For the purpose of
calculating value in use, estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money as well as the risks associated
with particular CGU. Calculation uses cash projections based on business-approved business plans.
These business plans and cash flow projections usually cover a five-year period. Cash flows beyond
the period when projections are available are projected at the estimated growth rates. The key
assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of various CGUs and sensitivity analyzes are
reported in Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
(3) Goodwill Impairment tests and Intangible Assets with Indefinite useful
The Group carries out the relevant impairment test on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful life derived from subsidiaries and associates, at least on an annual basis or in case of an
indication for impairment, according to IAS 36. In order to determine whether there is impairment
evidence, the value in use as well as the fair value less the sale cost of the business unit must be
calculated. Usually, methods such as present value of estimated cash flows are used along with
valuations based on similar transactions or companies trading in active markets and the stock
quotation. For the application of these methods, the Management is required to use information such
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 99
as the subsidiary’s forecasted future profitability, business plans as well as market data such as
interest rates etc. (for further information please refer to Notes 10 and 37 to Financial Statements).
(4) Impairment of Tangible Assets
Tangible assets are tested for impairment in case of events or changes in the circumstances suggesting
that the accounting value may not be recoverable. In order to estimate the current value in use, the
Management estimates future cash flows arising from the asset or cash generating unit and chooses
the suitable discount rate in order to estimate the present value of the future cash flows (further
information is provided in Note 9).
(5) Depreciated Assets Useful Life
The Management examines the useful life of depreciated assets every financial year. On 31/12/202 1,
the Management estimates that the useful lives represent the anticipated remaining useful life of the
assets.
(6) Estimate of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The calculation of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities for which there are no public market
prices, requires the use of specific valuation techniques. The measurement of their fair value requires
different types of estimates. The most important estimates include the assessment of different risks
to which the instrument is exposed to such as business risk, liquidity risk etc., and the assessment of
the future profitability prospects in the case of equity securities valuation.
(7) Measurement of expected credit losses
Impairment of financial assets is based on assumptions regarding default risk and percentages of
expected credit losses. In particular, the Group's Management applies judgments under selecting such
assumptions, as well as under selecting the inflows for the our poses of calculating impairment, based
on the historical data, the current market conditions and the projections for the future financial sizes
at the end of the reporting period.
Regarding contractual assets, trade receivables and leases, the simplified approach of IFRS 9 is
applied, calculating the expected credit losses over the life of those items using a table of projections.
This table is based on historical data but is adjusted in such a way that it should reflect the projections
for the future economic environment. The correlation between the historical data, the future financial
conditions and the expected credit needs making significant estimates. The amount of expected credit
losses depends to a large extent on changes in the circumstances and the projections of the future
financial conditions. Moreover, historical data and projections for the future may not lead to
conclusions indicative of the actual amount of default on customer liabilities in the future (further
information is provided in Notes 4.3.2 and 19).
(8) Derivatives Fair Value assessment and Hedge Accounting
The Group uses derivatives to manage a series of risks including risks relevant to interest rates,
foreign currency and prices of goods. In order to assess the effectiveness of a hedging procedure, the
Group is required to firstly state its hedging strategy and then to assess that the hedge will be effective
throughout the duration of the hedging instrument (derivative). See further information on derivatives
in Note 27.
(9) Provision for Income Tax
The provision for income tax based on IAS 12 is calculated by estimating the taxes to be paid to tax
authorities and includes the current income tax for every financial year and a provision for additional
taxes that might emerge in tax audits.
The Groups companies are subject to various income taxation legislations. To determine the total
provision for income tax, as presented in the Statement of Financial Position, significant estimates
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 100
are required. For specific transactions and calculations, the final tax determination is uncertain. The
Group recognizes liabilities for the forecasted tax issues based on calculations as to the extent to
which additional tax will arise. In cases where the final tax amount differs from what had been initially
recognized, the differences affect the provisions for income tax and deferred tax for the period when
it had been determined (for further information please refer to Note 41).
(10) Fair Value Measurement of investment property
Estimates relating to fair value measurement of investment property are determined based on
appraisal reports carried out by independent real estate appraisal firm, which assess the fair value of
investment property according to international accepted appraisal methods. The most appropriate
indication of fair value is the existing current values in an active market for relevant rental and other
agreements. In case that the abovementioned information is not available, the value is determined
through a range of reasonable estimates of fair values. In most cases, Discounted Cash Flows was
assessed as the most appropriate valuation method, since the real estate properties are held by the
Group for investment purposes and they are already leased or planned to be leased. Discounted cash
flows models are based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, which derive from the lease terms
of existing rentals and (where possible) from external data, such as current rentals for similar
properties in the same location and condition, using discount rates which depict the current market
estimate regarding the uncertainty of the amount and timing of these cash flows. The application of
discounted cash flow models, involves the use of assumptions to estimate fair value, which are relate
to: receipt of contractual rentals, expected future market rentals, vacancy periods, maintenance
expenses and appropriate discount rates. Further information regarding the key assumptions is
included in Note 46.2.
(11) Provision for Personnel Compensation
The provision amount for personnel compensation is based on an actuarial study. The actuarys study
includes specific assumptions on discount rate, employees remuneration increase rate, consumer
price index increase and the expected remaining working life. The assumptions used are imbedded
with significant uncertainty and the Groups Management continuously reassesses these assumptions
(for further information please refer to Note 24).
(12) Contingent Assets and Liabilities
The Group is involved in court claims and compensations during its ordinary activities. The
Management judges that any settlement would not significantly influence the Groups financial
position on 31/12/2021. The Management assesses the outcome of pending legal cases, according to
information received from the Legal Department and collaborating legal offices. Such information
arises from the recent developments in the legal cases they handle. In case of a probable outflow from
companys resources for the settlement of liability and the amount can be estimated reliably, the
Management will make the necessary provisions. Defining the amount necessary to settle the liability
is based on the Management's estimates and a number of factors that require judgment. Changes in
judgments or estimates are likely to result in an increase or decrease in the Group's liabilities in the
future. When additional information becomes available, the Group's Management reviews the events,
based on which it might have to review its estimates (see Note 45.3).

Fixed assets under contraction mainly includes the three Aero Catamaran type high-speed vessels for
which the completion of their construction is expected within 2022.
Property, plant and equipment are subject to impairment test whenever events and circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of property, plant and
equipment exceeds their recoverable amount, the excess amount refers to impairment loss which is
recognized directly in the Income Statement. The largest amount that arises from comparing the fair
value of the asset, after excluding the costs incurred for the sale, and value in use, constitutes the
recoverable amount of the asset.
The changes in the Companys property, plant and equipment account are analyzed as follows:

10.2 Impairment test on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life
On 31/12/2021, an impairment test was conducted on recognized goodwill and consequently, on the
recognized intangible assets with indefinite useful life. The impairment test on goodwill which had
arisen as a result of the acquisitions of the Groups consolidated companies, was conducted having
allocated said assets to the respective Cash Generating Units (CGU). The recoverable goodwill
amount associated with the respective CGU was determined through value in use, which was
calculated by using the method of discounted cash flows.
Similarly, the recoverable value of trademarks with indefinite useful life (value in use) was
determined through the income expected to arise from royalties based on the Income Approach via
Relief from Royalty method. In determining the value in use, the Management uses assumptions that
it deems reasonable, based on the best available information which is applicable at the reference date
of the Financial Statements (please refer to Note 10.3).
10.2.1 Consolidated Financial Statements
Changes in goodwill in 2021 and the way it is allocated to the Group's operating segments are
analytically described in note 10.1 above. According to the impairment test conducted at the end of
the reporting period, there was no need to impair the recognized goodwill.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 113
The intangible assets of the Group, whose analysis is shown in Note 11, also include intangible assets
with indefinite useful life. From the impairment test with reference date 31/12/2021, no need arose
for the recognition of impairment losses on intangible assets with indefinite useful life.
As at 31/12/2021 the intangible assets of the Group with indefinite useful life amounted to 27,428k
and related to trademarks of the Transportation” segment (31/12/2020: 27,428k).
10.2.2 Company Financial Statements
In the separate Financial Statements, the total impairment amount was 39,604k, which pertains to
amount € 39,529k from impairment of other assets by RKB (see note 16). The aforementioned
amounts are included in the item Income / (Expenses) from participations and other financial assets
of the separate Income Statement.
10.3 Assumptions used in calculation of Value in Use
The recoverable amount of every CGU is determined according to value in use calculation. The
determination is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows, as expected to be
generated by every CGU (discounted cash flow method). The specific methodology for determining
the value in use is affected (has sensitivity) by the following key assumptions, as adopted by the
Management om order to determine future cash flows:
5-year business plan per CGU:
o The business plans were prepared for a maximum period of 5 years, except if a longer period
can be justified. The cash flows beyond this period are derived using the estimations of the
implied growth rates stated below.
o The business plans are based on recent budgets and estimations.
o Projected operating margins and EBITDA, as well as future estimations based on reasonable
assumptions, are used in business plans.
The calculations for determining the recoverable amounts of the CGUs were based on the business
plans approved by the Management, which included the necessary revisions to capture the current
economic situation and reflect past experience, projections of studies per sector and other information
available from external sources.
Perpetuity Growth rate:
The cash flows beyond the 5-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates in
perpetuity, as obtained from external sources. For the year ended on 31/12/2021 and the year ended
on 31/12/2020, perpetuity growth rate stood at 2%.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC):
The WACC method reflects the discount rate of future cash flows for each CGU, according to which
the cost of equity and the cost of long-term debt and any grants are weighted, in order to calculate
the total cost of capital of the company. The WACC for the Transportation segment stood at 8.9% on
31/12/2021 (31/12/2020: 9.5%). The basic parameters determining the weighted cost of capital
(WACC) include:
o Risk-free return:
Since all cash flows of the business plans are denominated in euro, the yield of ten-year Euro Swap
Rate (EUS) was used as the risk-free rate. At the valuation date, the ten-year Euro Swap Rate was
0.30 %. The 10-year Greek Government Bond was not used as risk free rate, given the recognition by
the markets of significant risk premium (spread) on the title.
o Country risk premium:
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 114
Assumptions arising from independent sources were taken into account for the calculation of the
specific country risk premium. The risk associated with the activity in every market, as stated in each
specific country risk premium, is included in the Cost of Equity of each company.
o Equity risk premium:
The calculation of the equity risk premium was based on assumptions arising from independent
sources. Betas are evaluated annually based on published market data.
Sensitivity analysis of recoverable amounts:
On 31/12/2021, the Group analyzed the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts per CGU in respect of
a change in some of the key assumptions disclosed in note 10.3 (Indicatively a change: (i) by one
percentage point in EBITDA up to 2026 and half a percentage point in EBITDA margin to perpetuity,
(ii) by one percentage point in the discount rate up to 2026 and half a percentage point in the discount
rate to perpetuity or (iii) by a half percentage point growth rate to perpetuity). Relevant analysis
indicates that no impairment has been arisen regarding Groups goodwill and intangible assets of the
operating segment Transportation”.

In compliance with the applied accounting policies and provisions of IAS 36, the Company conducts
a relevant impairment test regarding its assets at the end of each reporting period, given that relative
impairment indications are effective. The relevant test can be conducted earlier if there is evidence
of potentially arising impairment loss. The evaluation focuses both - on endogenous as well as
exogenous parameters.
During the year ended on 31/12/2021 an impairment arose on the value of investments in subsidiaries
amounted to 75k, while at the same time an impairment reversal arose amounted to 1,280k due to
subsidiary’s share capital return (see note 6.3). The aforementioned amounts are included in the
Income/(Expenses) from investments and other financial assets of the separate Income Statement.
(see note 10.2.2).

On 31/12/2021, investments in real estate include investment property of the subsidiary RKB
amounting to 211,806k on which there are collaterals to secure RKB borrowing (see note 45.2).
Following the Companys Board of Directors decision as of 16/12/2021 and the Extraordinary General
Meeting of Shareholders held on 17/01/2022, it was decided that the Company should acquire
(indirectly, through 100% subsidiary company under the title MIG REAL ESTATE SERBIA) the
minority stake of 16.89% in the subsidiary RKB against a consideration consisting of 3 real estate
assets owned by RKB of total value 20.5 m. Based on the above decisions , on 31/12/2021 the
Group decreased the value of its investment property items by 20.5 m. The following transaction is
expected to be completed within the next months, since the settlement of typical procedures is
imminent.
Furthermore, in 2021, the Group reassessed the fair value of RKB's real estate portfolio, assigning
the appraisal task to an independent real estate appraiser. The revaluation of the fair value of the
aforementioned investment properties resulted to decrease of 647k.
The total decrease in the value of the Group's investment property items, amounting to 21,137k is
included in the item Other financial results of the consolidated Income Statement for 2021.
In March 2021, the subsidiary RKB sold an investment property against the amount of 15 m. From
the proceeds of the sale, an amount of 12.8 m was used to reduce the company's bank borrowing.
In addition, the following amounts related to investment property have been recognized in profit or

17 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND OBLIGATIONS
Deferred income tax occurs from temporary differences between the book value and the tax bases of
the assets and liabilities and is calculated based on the tax rate which is expected to be applicable in
the financial years when the temporary taxable and deductible differences are predicted to be reversed.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when an applicable legal right exists to offset current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes refer to the same tax authority. A
deferred tax asset is recognized in respect to tax losses carried forward to the extent that the
realization of a relevant tax benefit is possible through future taxable profits.
The offset amounts for the Group are the following:

24 EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS OBLIGATIONS
In accordance with the labor legislation of the countries, in which the Group operates, employees are
entitled to compensation in case of dismissal or retirement. With regards to subsidiaries domiciled in
Greece (being the largest part of Group’s activities), the amount of compensation varies depending
on the employees salary, the years of service and the mode of stepping down (redundancy or
retirement). Employees who resigned or dismissed on justifiable reasons are not entitled to
compensation. In case of retirement, a lump sum compensation shall be paid pursuant to Law 2112/20.
The Group recognizes as a liability the present value of the legal commitment for the lump sum
compensation payment to personnel stepping down due to retirement. These are non-financed defined
benefit plans according to IAS 19 and the relevant liability was calculated on the basis of an actuarial
study.
The analysis of the liability for employee benefits due to retirement of the Group and the Company
is as follows:

The total financial cost of long-term and short-term loan liabilities as well as finance leases for the
annual period 01/01-31/12/2021 (and the respective comparative period) is included in Financial
expenses of the consolidated and separate Income Statement.
The Groups average borrowing interest rate for the annual period ending on 31/12/202 1 amounted
to 3.64% (31/12/2020: 3.94%).
As of 31/12/2021, the short-term liabilities of the Group, includes capital and interest liabilities (see
note 3.1) amounting to 99,2 m of a Group's subsidiary, for which the restructuring process is in
progress at the approval date of the accompanying financial statements.
(a) Loans of the Company (MIG) 31/12/2021:
Restructuring of the Companys bank borrowings
On 14/05/2021, the restructuring of the Companys entire banking debt has been completed by signing
the relevant agreements. In the context of the implementation of the Restructuring Agreement, the
following has been agreed:
(a) Issuance of a new Common Bond Loan amounting initially to 281.4 m. The product arising from
the issuance of the new Common Bond Loan was used for the full repayment of the existing Common
Bond Loan and the reduction of the balance of the existing Convertible Bond Loan.
(b) Amendment of the terms of the existing Convertible Bond Loan whose balance currently stands
at 160 m.
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the Company assessed whether
the restructuring of its bank lending is related to a substantial or non-substantial modification of the
terms of the loans. In the context of this assessment, the Company took into account both qualitative
and quantitative criteria. The relevant assessment indicated that the restructuring of the Company's
bank lending constitutes a non-substantial modification in the terms of the loans, on one hand, because
the lender and the collateral have not changed and, on the other hand, because the percentage
difference between the present value of the old and the present value of modified cash flows
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 127
(discounted at the initial effective interest rate) does not exceed the threshold of 10% as provided in
IFRS 9. Therefore, the Company recorded the restructuring of its bank lending, applying the
Modification Accounting, as follows:
i. The book value of the loan liabilities was adjusted to reflect the net present value of the
modified cash flows discounted at the initial effective interest rate of 4.1%, standing at
408.9 m on 14/05/2021.
ii. The difference between the old (pre-restructuring) book value of loan liabilities ( 441.8 m)
and the new book value of loan liabilities ( 408.9 m) was recognized on 14/05/2021, in the
income statement. In particular, the accounting profit from restructuring loan liabilities
amounting to 32.9 m was recognized in the item Other financial results.
The financial expenses arising from the new loan liabilities are calculated based on the initial effective
interest rate of 4.1%, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, against the contractual interest
rate, and therefore the results of the Company have been burdened in 2021 with additional interest of
6.5 m.
Common Bond Loan initially amounting to 281,4 m
On 13/05/2021 MIG proceeded with signing a Common Bond Loan Program amounting up to 305
m in four tranches, to be covered by PIRAEUS BANK SA. The issue of Tranche A amounting to
281.4 m was completed on 14/05/2021 and the proceeds of the issue were used to refinance the
existing loan obligations of the Company. The coverage of Tranche B bonds (up to 5 m in order to
finance part of the interest payment of the issued Tranche A), Tranche C bonds (up to 5 m in order
to finance the Company's working capital needs) and Tranche PIK bonds (up to € 13 m for the purpose
of repaying capitalized interest) will be made under the terms and conditions described in the Issuance
Program. The loan is projected to be repaid through a lump sum payment three (3) years from the
date of the first issue, with the possibility of extension by 1 year at the discretion of PIRAEUS BANK
SA. The contractual interest rate of the new CBL amounts to EURIBOR 12 months plus 2% per annum
for all the Tranches except Tranche C with the potential capitalization of up to 75% of the accrued
interest of every Tranche (i.e. 1.50% of the applicable interest rate) and payment of 25% of Tranche
A through issuing bonds of Tranche B. The margin of Tranche C amounts to 1% per year.
The book value of the loan as at 31/12/2021 amounts to 271.8 m (nominal value 281.4 m plus
accrued interest 3.6 m until 31/12/2021).
Convertible bond loans of 160 m
Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, on 13/05/2021 the amendment of the CBL Program was
signed, according to which the repayment date of the CBL was postponed until 15/05/2024 (versus
31/07/2021), with the potential extension by 1 year at the discretion of PIRAEUS BANK SA. At the
same time, the contractual interest rate reduced and stood at EURIBOR 12 months plus a margin of
0.50% with the potential of annual capitalization of a part or all the due interest (compared to a margin
of 4% with the potential of annual capitalization of up to 50% of the due interest, effective until
31/03/2021), while the obligation to comply with the specific financial covenants was lifted.
Within the first half of 2021, the partial repayment of the existing CBL was performed (balance as at
31/12/2020: 295.1 m) from the consideration received following disposal of VIVARTIA ( 5.1 m)
and from the issuance product of the new CBL initially amounting to 281.4 m ( 130 m). Following
the above, on 31/12/2021 the book value of the loan amounts to 147.7 m (nominal value 160 m
plus accrued interest 0.5 m until 31/12/2021).
In order to secure Common Bond Loan and Convertible Bond Loan, first and second class pledge has
been established, respectively, on all the shares of ATTICA owned (directly and indirectly) by the

27 FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
On 31/12/2021 financial derivatives amounted to receivables of 4,714k (31/12/2020: receivables
972k and liabilities 3,291k). These derivatives relate to hedging transactions against changes in fuel
price, are carried out by ATTICA group. These items are recorded at fair value.
The Group's policy with respect to hedging the risk of cash flows from the change in marine fuel price
is to cover up to 80% of the projected fuel needs in use through hedging instruments. In 2021, the
Group 's hedging contracts were within the limits of the aforementioned policy.
There is a direct economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the
terms of the hedging contracts are linked to the projected future marine fuel markets. ATTICA group
has set a ratio of 1:1 as a hedge ratio for the relationship between the hedging instrument (contracts)
and hedged item (fuel oil).
Ineffectiveness in hedging may result from (a) differences that may arise in the time difference
between the cash flows of the hedging instrument and the hedged item, and (b) contingent change in
the hedging ratio of the hedging relationship resulting from the amount of the hedged item, which
ATTICA group actually hedges, and the amount of hedging instrument that the ATTICA group
actually uses to offset this amount of the hedging item and c) contingent decrease in consumption due
to route reductions.
In 2021 no case of inefficiency occurred related to hedging contracts.
The effect of hedging instruments on the Statement of Comprehensive Income as at 31/12/2021 relates
to a change in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income amounting to 3,329k and
reclassification from other comprehensive income amounting to 1,452k. The amounts included in
the Income Statement are included in other financial results. There were no cases of hedging future

RKB has pledged its investment properties as collateral for its loans, amounting to 211,806k
(31/12/2020: 245,393k).
45.3 Court cases
The Company and its subsidiaries (under their property as defendant and plaintiff) are involved in
various court cases during their normal operations. The Group makes provisions in the Financial
Statements in respect to the pending court cases when it is probable that cash outflows will be required
in order to settle the liability and this amount can be estimated reliably.
The Group as of 31/12/2021 has made provisions amounting to 1,441k (31/12/2020: 1,141k, in
respect to court cases (please refer to Note 29). The Management as well as the legal advisors estimate
that the outstanding cases, apart from those already provided for, are to be settled without a significant
negative impact on the Groups or Companys consolidated financial position or on their operating
results.
CPBs Lawsuit against MIG:
Further to MIGs appeal against the Republic of Cyprus before the International Arbitration Tribunal,
claiming the amount of 824 m plus interest and additional damages relating to its investment in
CYPRUS POPULAR BANK (CPB), the State-owned bank CPB, which has been under resolution
since 2013, filed a lawsuit against MIG (thus placing it as the 12
th
defendant in a lawsuit already
filed against 11 persons, among which Mr. A. Vgenopoulos and Messrs. Bouloutas and Magiras)
before the Cypriot courts claiming an amount of over 2 m without specifying a priori the subject of
the claim, reserving its right to specify its allegations and damages at a later stage.
On 08/05/2013 an Interim Order (Interim Measures) was issued unilaterally (ex parte), inter alia
ordering and forbidding MIG, until a new order is issued, from transferring to or in favor of A.
Vgenopoulos, E. Bouloutas and K. Magiras, any assets (kept on their account or to their benefit),
including monies, except if the total value of their assets without incumbencies and other securities
(unencumbered value) exceeded the amount of 3.79 billion.
On 28/06/2013 and 01/07/2013 MIG and A. Vgenopoulos, E. Bouloutas and K. Magiras filed
applications for setting aside the procedure (cancellation of the writ of summons).
On 02/07/2013 A. Vgenopoulos, E. Bouloutas and K. Magiras filed an opposition against CPBs
application for an interim order. MIG stated that it would not file an opposition and that it would
accept the outcome of the oppositions of the other defendants, without admitting the facts included
in CPBs application.
On 23/05/2014 the Court issued its interim decisions whereby a) it rejected the applications dated
28/06/2013 and 01/07/2013 for setting aside the procedure and b) rendered the interim orders dated
08/05/2013 absolute against all defendants and in force until the termination of the trial or until an
opposite order of the Court and overruled the relevant objections of the defendants.
On 06/06/2014 appeals were filed by the applicants and the defendants who filed the opposition
against (a) the interim decision dated 23/05/2014 on the set aside application and (b) the interim
decision/order dated 23/05/2014 on the opposition against the interim order application, respectively.
Both sides filed appeal outlines and the hearing took place on 22/09/2021.
On 17/07/2014 MIG filed a set aside application due to lack of jurisdiction of the District Court of
Nicosia against which CPB filed an opposition. On 11/04/2016 the Court ruled that the burden of
proof in the set aside application is borne by the applicants-defendants. On 31/01/2017 the Court
issued a decision according to which the Court accepted its jurisdiction without examining the
individual requests and allegations of the applicants, among which the request for a preliminary ruling
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 144
of the Court of European Union on the matter. On 14/02/2017 MIG and E. Bouloutas and K. Magiras
filed an appeal against the above decision for which a pre-trial is now expected to be fixed in 2022.
With regard to the jurisdiction, MIG obtained a legal opinion from Professor of Private Law in Oxford
University Andrian Briggs, who contends that according to the Regulation (EC) 44/2001 the Cypriot
Courts lack jurisdiction in this case. The said legal opinion was filed with the Court.
On 15/05/2015 CPB filed an application to amend the statement of claim and MIG, filed an opposition
against said application. The Court with its interim decision dated 08/09/2015, allowed the
amendment of the statement of claim which was filed on the same day. By reserving its position on
numerous matters, CPB specifies the amount of damages incurred to 3.99 billion.
On 26/2/2020 CPB filed an application to amend the writ of summons in order that the liquidator of
the late A. Vgenopoulos legacy is added as a litigant party.
On 08/01/2021 the Central Bank of Cyprus filed a petition for liquidation of CPB (with prot. No
1/2021) and the relevant proceedings are currently ongoing. In the event that CPB is put under
liquidation, the Liquidator to be appointed, must file an application for the amendment of the title of
the lawsuit.
On 27/01/2022 CPB filed an application for issuance of a ruling against the defendants due to the fact
that they have not filed yet their defense against the statement of claim, which was set, upon
adjournment, for hearing on 18/05/2022. Furthermore, time was granted for the filing of the defense
of the Company and other defendants until 16/05/2022.
It is hereby noted that CPB has initiated proceedings for the declaration of enforceability in Greece
and in England, of the freezing order dated 23/05/2014, which does not turn against MIGs assets. By
decision no. 27/2016 of the Athens one-member Court of First Instance (Voluntary Procedure) the
above order was declared enforceable in Greece, as explicitly mentioned in the said decision of the
Athens Court of First Instance. Against this decision MIG (together with A. Vgenopoulos, E.
Bouloutas and K. Magiras) filed an Appeal before the Athens three-member Court of Appeal
(Contentious Jurisdiction) which was finally rejected by decision no. 983/2017 of the Athens three-
member Court of Appeal. MIG has filed before the Supreme Court an application for cassation against
said decision for which no fixed date of hearing has been set. The other defendants have also filed
applications for cassation.
Furthermore, by Order of Judge Leslie of High Court of Justice in England and Wales, Queen’s Bench
Division, dated 26/02/2015, the above order of the Nicosia District Court was declared enforceable
in England and Wales. Upon CPBs relevant application a decision on interim measures was issued
according to the provisions of article 47(2) and (3) of Regulation 44/2001 of the Council, which does
not concern MIGs assets. MIG together with the above defendants has challenged the above Order
of Judge Leslie by filing an appeal, the hearing of which has been adjourned by consecutive orders
of the Court until 30/06/2022.
The Company still considers that the obvious aim of CPBs lawsuit against MIG was the defense of
the Republic of Cyprus in the international arbitration. According to MIG’s legal counsels, CPBs
claim and consequently the outcome of the case cannot be assessed at this initial procedural stage, in
terms of both illegal acts or omissions and damages, taking into consideration all the circumstances
surrounding the case, including other parallel proceedings.
Lawsuit of 1.Elma Holdings Public Co Ltd”, 2.Liberty Life Insurance Public Company Ltd,
3. Dodoni Portfolio Investments Public Company Limited and 4. Jupiter Portfolio
Investments Public Company Limited vs, inter alia, MIG before the Cypriot courts.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece

The claimants have turned not only against MIG but also against CPB, the former members of the
Board of Directors of Bank of Cyprus Public Company Ltd, Dubai Financial Limited Liability
Company, Deutsche Bank A.G. London Branch”,PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd”, Grant Thornton
(Cyprus) Ltd, and the Central Bank of Cyprus by a lawsuit filed befor e the Nicosia District Court on
18/06/2015. The claimants request compensation for damages allegedly caused by acts or/and
omissions of the Board of Directors of CPB and by conspiracy among the Company and other
defendants, which led the CPB into a resolution regime and/or termination of its operations and /or
collapse and/or bankruptcy without however making references to specific acts or omissions. The
total amount of the requested compensation comes to 39 m plus interests and costs.
Following rejection of various procedural objections or applications by the Court of first instance, for
which the Company may revert at a later stage according to local procedural rules, the claimants have
to file their statement of claim in order to bring forward their claim.
The Company believes that the claim is unsubstantiated, however as its adjudication is still at an early
procedural stage and no details of the claim have been provided, MIGs legal counsels are not yet
able to formulate an opinion on its outcome.
Other Potential Liabilities
1. On 18/12/2015, the transfer of all shares of SKYSERV to SWISSPORT AVIAREPS HELLAS S.A.
was completed. According to specific terms and conditions of the sale and purchase agreement, MIG
has undertaken to compensate SKYSERV for any amounts that it may be required to pay and for
which there was no relevant provision in its Financial Statements.
Three lawsuits were filed against SKYSERV by OLYMPIC AIRWAYS SERVICES S.A. - In
Liquidation (hereinafterOAS) seeking payment for the total amount of 5.6 m, (plus interest from
the lapse of 30 days after issuance of each invoice), invoking the contracts for provision of services
entered between the companies on 09/06/2009.
Two of the above lawsuits for claims of 4,144,902.09 and of 251,418.32 (plus interest) have
already been rejected finally, partly as vague and partly as without merit or unfounded.
On the one of the above lawsuits for a claim of 1,243,119.10 (plus interest), the Athens
Multimember First Instance Court issued its decision no. 4964/2018, whereby it admitted the lawsuit
for the amount of 1,183,402.50 plus interest as of 23/10/2009. Both OAS and SKYSERV filed
appeals against said decision, which would be heard on 09/04/2020. However, the said hearing was
adjourned due to the provisional suspension of the Courts operation for reasons of public health
(because of COVID-19). A new hearing date for SKYSERV’s appeal was fixed ex officio for
08/04/2021, while OASs appeal was fixed for 22/04/2021, but on that day so they were withdrawn
for the same reasons. In the care of the Company, which has assumed the handling of the case, the
hearing of both appeals has been set for 09/12/2021. On that date the case was heard and a decision
is expected to be issued.
OASs pending lawsuit, as its other two lawsuits, did not contain all necessary elements required for
enabling judicial assessment and in the context of the trials, OAS provided - objectively - no evidence
adequate to lead to the substantiation of its claims in the Court’s consideration. Furthermore,
SKYSERV raised an objection regarding the abusive filing of each lawsuit, as OAS stated through its
legal representative at three different time points that no debt had arisen from the agreements in
question and that the invoices in question were due to be cancelled even before OAS was put under
liquidation, which in fact did not occur. For the above reasons, the Company considers that it is
possible that the above decision no. 4964/2018 of the Athens Multi-Member Court of First Instance
be reversed on appeal, taking into consideration the positive outcome of the case with respect to the
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021

other two lawsuits of similar object and arguments, regarding which its estimation that they would be
rejected has already been confirmed.
2. On 09/11/2018 the Company completed the transfer of its total stake, direct and indirect, in
HYGEIA to HELLENIC HEALTHCARE SINGLE-PERSON HOLDINGS S.A. (the Buyer).
According to individual terms and conditions of the sale and purchase agreement, the Company has
assumed towards the Buyer, inter alia, the liability of HYGEIA, MITERA and/or LETO deriving from
or in connection with litigation concerning malpractice, professional liability and similar cases,
provided that the event or circumstances which caused the initiation of the relevant proceeding refers
to a date on or prior to 09/11/2018. The Company is liable for any amount that HYGEIA, MITERA
and/or LETO may be required to assume, compensate or pay pursuant to an enforceable court
judgment or out of court settlement, to the extent that such amount exceeds (i) the amount of
provisions specifically made for each of HYGEIA, MITERA and LETO in the Annual Financial
Statements on 31/12/2017; and (ii) any amount that such company has actually received as beneficiary
pursuant to a valid insurance policy. The Buyer shall keep the Company informed of any material
developments in relation to a matter giving rise to an indemnified liability and the Company shall
give to the Buyer whatever reasonable assistance the Buyer may reasonably require in mitigating,
settling, disputing etc. any relevant third party claim. It is hereby noted that the Company is no longer
liable for damages that may arise from or in relation to any breach of warranties included in the sale
and purchase agreement, excluding those relating to real estate assets and tax issues of HYGEIA
group.
So far, the Company has received no notice of any developments that could trigger any liability.
3. On 11/01/2021 the transfer of the entire direct and indirect participation of the Company in
SINGULARLOGIC to the companies SPACE HELLAS S.A” and EPSILON NET S.A”. According
to the specific terms of the share purchase agreement, the Company (together with its wholly owned
subsidiary TOWER TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS (OVERSEAS) Limited”) has undertaken, among
other things, the responsibility for any deviations from its warranty statements to the buyers. In
particular, it has been provided that the sellers are liable for third party claims and any taxes, fees,
levies, fines or surcharges that may be imposed on the SINGULARLOGIC group, provided that the
above relates to the period until the signing of the Share Purchase Agreement and does not appear as
a liability or there is no relevant provision for them in the annual financial statements of
SINGULARLOGIC dated 31/12/2019, provided they are notified in writing and in time in order to be
able to take legal action. The liability of the sellers stands in principle for 4 years, with the exception
of any additional financial obligations arising from the tax or insurance legislation, for which the
liability stands until the statutory time of limitations expires, and may not exceed the total amount.
of 4,000,000 for all liability cases. In relation to the disputed claims of SINGULARLOGIC against
OSE S.A.amounting to 3,783,238 plus interest and expenses, the agreement includes a special
clause for the elimination or limitation of the above liability of the sellers and / or the return of the
collected amounts to the sellers.
So far, the Company has received no notice of any developments that could trigger any liability.
4. On 30/03/2021 the transfer of the entire participation of the Company in VIVARTIA to
VENETIKO HOLDINGS SINGLE MEMBER S.A., i.e. an entity controlled by the investment funds
of CVC CAPITAL PARTNERS”, was completed. According to the individual terms of sale and
purchase, the Company has assumed, among other things, the responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of the information that has been disclosed to the buyer. For certain fundamental
warranties (power to sell the shares, lawful issue and payment of shares of VIVARTIA group
companies, non-occurrence of an insolvency event), the seller's liability is unlimited, but it is
considered unlikely to arise. In other respects, liability for any breach of other warranties (in relation

customers and suppliers, pending litigation and other proceedings, fixed assets, intellectual property

30% of the total transaction price. The Company shall not be liable unless it has received a relevant
notification from the Buyer until 30/06/2023 or with regard to issues relating to real estate assets of
VIVARTIA group until 30/06/2026 or with regard to tax issues latest on the date falling 3 months
after the lapse of the statute of limitations provided by law.
So far, the Company has received no notice of any developments that could trigger any liability.

45.5 Contingent tax obligations
The Group’s tax obligations are not conclusive, since there are non-tax audited financial years, as
analyzed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements for the year ended on 31/12/2021. For the non-tax
audited financial years there is a probability that additional taxes and surcharges will be imposed
when they are assessed and finalized. The Group assesses on an annual basis its contingent liabilities
which may result from tax audits of preceding financial years, by forming provisions where it is
deemed necessary. The Group has made provisions for non-tax audited financial years amounting to
148k (31/12/2020: 148k).
The Management considers that apart from the provisions that have already been made, potentially
arising tax amounts will not have any significant effect on equity, Profit/Loss and on cash flows of
the Group and the Company.
Tax Compliance Report:
For the years 2011- 2020, the Group companies operating in Greece and subject to tax audits by
Chartered Accountants in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 82 of Law 2238/1994 and in
compliance with the provisions of Article 65Α par. 1, Law 4174/2013, received a Certificate of Tax
Compliance without any substantial differences. Under the Circular POL 1006/2016, the companies
that have been subject to this special tax audit are not exempted from the statutory audit of the
competent tax authorities. The Management of the Group estimates that in case such audits are carried
out by the Tax Authorities in the future, no additional tax differences will arise with a significant
effect on the Financial Statements.
Regarding the financial year 2021, the special audit for the issue of the Certificate of Tax Compliance
is currently in progress and the relevant tax certificates are expected to be issued following the
publication of the annual Financial Statements for FY 2021. Should any additional tax liabilities arise
till the finalization of the tax audit, it is estimated that they will not have a material effect on the
Financial Statements.

46 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
46.1 Measurement of fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments levels analysis
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position
of the Group and the Company are classified under the following 3 level hierarchy in order to
determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments per valuation technique:
Level 1: Investments that are valued at fair value based on quoted (unadjusted) prices in active
markets for comparable assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Investments that are valued at fair value, using valuation techniques for which all
inputs that significantly affect the fair value, are based (either directly or indirectly) on
observable market data.
Level 3: Investments that are valued at fair value, using valuation techniques, in which the data
that significantly affects the fair value, is not based on observable market data. This level
includes investments where the determination of the fair value is based on unobservable market
data (five years business plan), using however additional observable market data (Beta, Net
Debt / Enterprise Value of identical firms in the specific segment such as those included in the
WACC calculation).
The following tables reflect the Group financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis on 31/12/2021 and 31/12/2020:

47 RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Each one of MIGs large investments is exposed to specific risks. The occurrence of any of these
risks could lead to a possible revaluation of MIGs portfolio and to the reassessment of the strategic
objectives of the Group.
Τhe Company and the Group are exposed to risks pertaining to currencies, financing and interest
rates, fuel prices, credit and liquidity. The Group reviews and periodically assesses its exposure to
the risks cited above on a case by case basis as well as collectively and uses financial instruments to
hedge its exposure to certain risk categories.
Evaluation and assessment of the risks faced by the Company and the Group are conducted by the
Management. The main aim is to monitor and assess all the risks to which the Company and Group
are exposed through their business and investment activities.
The Group uses several financial instruments and pursues specialized strategies to limit its exposure
to changes in the values of investments that may result from market volatility, including changes in
prevailing interest rates and currency exchange rates.

47.1 Currency risk
Euro is the Groups functional currency. The Group operates in foreign countries and, therefore, is
exposed to currency risk. This type of risk mainly arises from current or future cash flows in foreign
currency. In particular, ATTICA group is affected by exchange rates to the extent that the marine
fuels which are bought for the operation of its ships are traded internationally in US Dollars as well
as by exchange rates due to its participating interest in the subsidiary TANGER MOROCCO MARITIME
S.A. and in the associate AFRICA MOROCCO LINKS, whose currency is expressed in Moroccan
Dirhams. The largest percentage of MIGs and the Groups revenues and expenses are Euro
denominated. Likewise, the largest percentage of the Companys investments is denominated in Euro.
The Groups investment in the Serbian RKB is not exposed to significant FX risk , since the majority
of its assets (investment properties) are denominated in Euro and the major part of the inflows
associated with these assets is also in Euro.
The analysis of the Groups financial assets and liabilities per currency converted in Euro as at
31/12/2021 and 31/12/2020 is presented as follows:

47.2 Financing and interest rate risk
Changes in the international macroeconomic environment affect the course of interest rates. A
potential increase in interest rates, increases the debt service costs that the Group maintains its
financing as well as its new terms.
Bank debt constitutes one of the funding sources of the Groups investments. The Group's borrowing
rate usually consists of a fixed margin plus a floating rate (EURIBOR), which depends directly on
the amount and changes in interest rates. This fact exposes the Group to cash flow risk in case of
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

duration of its financial needs.

necessary funding sources. The Group is managing its liquidity requirements on a daily basis through
systematic monitoring οf its short and long-term financial liabilities and through daily monitoring of

47.5 Fuel price fluctuation risk
ATTICA group, as well as all the shipping companies, are significantly affected by the volatility of
fuel prices. It is to be noted that the cost of fuel and lubricants is the most significant operating cost
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF DECEMBER 31st 2021
MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDING S.A., 10, El. Venizelou str., 106 71 Athens, Greece
Page 153
and represents approximately 44% of ATTICA group costs of sales in 2021. A change in the price of
fuel by 10% on an annual basis, will have affect the Group’s income statement and equity by
approximately -/+ 13.0 m. ATTICA group has hedged a part of the fuel prices fluctuation risk.
In 2021, the average price of marine fuels, used by the Group, increased 32.4% compared to the year
2020.
Moreover, the Russian military invasion in Ukraine in February pushed the existent high fuel prices
to even higher levels, recording extreme fluctuations even on a daily basis. Indicatively, in February
2022, the average fuel price increased by 28% compared to December 2021.
ATTICA group management implement a series of actions such as, harmonization of its pricing
policy, optimization of vessel routes, reduction of speeds and performance of hedging activities for
the price of fuel for part of the quantity consumed in order to deal with any consequences.
47.6 Accident risk
Due to the nature of their operations, the Group's companies are subject to the aforementioned risk
that may negatively affect the Group's results, customers and/or operations. ATTICA group vessels
are covered by hull and machinery, protection and indemnity and war risks insurances.
47.7 Competition risk and seasonality of activities
The competition between the companies operating in the transportation segment is particularly intense
and can adversely affect its sales and profitability.
ATTICA group operates on routes with intense competition, which can further intensify the
companys efforts aimed at increasing the market shares in already mature markets. Moreover,
ATTICA group’s sales are highly seasonal. The highest traffic for passengers and vehicles is observed
during the months between July and September, while the lowest traffic for passengers and vehicles
is observed between November and February. In contrast, freight sales are not significantly affected
by seasonality.

47.9 COVID-19 Pandemic
The appearance of COVID-19 pandemic in combination with the restrictive measures occasionally
taken to address it, such as lockdowns, restrictions on passenger traffic volume, etc., had an adverse
impact on the Group's financial operations, with particular emphasis on the Transportation operating
segment. The Group's Management as well as the managements of the separate operating segments,
having evaluated all the new data, they have taken and continue to take measures to reduce the impact
of the pandemic on operation, financial performance and position of the operating segments, with an
ultimate goal to ensure their going concern and development.
The effects of the pandemic on each operating segment are analyzed as follows:
Transportation
Due to the pandemic and the consequent restrictive measures occasionally imposed by the Greek
State, ATTICA group's traffic volume continues to be decreased compared to the pre-COVID - 19
period and especially in relation to 2019. However, the increase in the traffic volumes in 2021
compared to 2020, as well as during the first two months of 2022 versus the respective 2021 period,
marks a trend of gradual normalization of operations, which is expected to further improve following
lifting of the restrictive measures in March 2022. The reduction in passenger and vehicles traffic
volumes depriving ATTICA group of a significant direct liquidity source. However, with the abolition
of the reduced protocol of passengers on board the vessels, this risk has been significantly decreased.
ATTICA group holds adequate liquidity level for working capital purposes and, at the same time,
tries to make continuous efforts to reduce operating costs. At the same time, ATTICA group continues
to improve its financial position takes actions to further enhance its liquidity. More specifically,
within 2021, ATTICA group issued loans amounting to 94 m, while maintaining its strong capital
structure and low leverage ratio (52% net borrowing in relation to total employed capital). Following
the abolition of the reduced passenger transport protocol in March 2022, and provided that the
pandemic continues its declining course, the impact of the pandemic on ATTICA groups financial
performance is estimated to be significantly decreased this year. Finally, ATTICA group’s
management constantly assesses every new information with regards to the evolution of the pandemic,
and adjusts the vessels routes mainly concerned about protecting ATTICA group's financial position
and rendering the best possible service to its customers and local communities.
Regarding ATTICA group’s loan liabilities, there are terms related to the compliance of financial
ratios. The Management is constantly monitoring the development in order to make a request in a
timely manner to the creditor bank obtaining its consent regarding the compliance obligations where
necessary.
Real Estate and Other
RKB subsidiary may face the adverse effects of the pandemic, as any restrictive measures may affect
the smooth operation of its commercial stores and, consequently, the company’s sales and
profitability. Within 2021, RKB's sales and operating profitability were not significantly affected by
the pandemic. RKB's management will remain focused on maintaining or even increasing leased
