Slovenian Weekly Regional Overview 24.9.2017 - 28.9.2017

ZAVAROVALNICA TRIGLAV:
Triglav Skladi, a Triglav Group member and its asset management arm, bought 100% stake in ALTA Skladi, a Slovene asset management company with almost 10% market share. ALTA Skladi manages 22 mutual funds with over EUR 270m of AuM.
Jointly Triglav will now have roughly 36% market share on the Slovene mutual fund market and a billion of AuM. Triglav reported that the purchase price excluding adjustment for net debt is EUR 21.7m, a part of which is contingent on future payments made into the funds of the acquire.
Please note this deal needs to be signed off by regulators.
The move is in-line with its strategy to strengthen its asset management segment.

TELEKOM SLOVENIJE:
Telekom Slovenije reached a court settlement with the company T-2 d.o.o., removing a EUR 129.6m (w/o interest; with interest EUR 260m) lawsuit payment threat. Telekom Slovenije also mentioned that all other open relations with T-2 were settled (Telekom had receivables overdue with T-2 etc). However, no details were given.
We hope more will be disclosed in 9M18 report, scheduled for end October.
We can only speculate if media articles mentioning EUR 50m (EUR 30m net) were true or not. We believe that this news warrants no significant change to our investment thesis. Possibly the paid amount could be slightly above our expectations, curbing slightly 2018 profit and maybe even our target price, albeit slightly, but not long-term estimates or our dividend expectations.
