Through its expansion into the Eastern and South-eastern European
region, the company operates in markets that have been experiencing
political and economic change. This circumstance has affected, and

South-eastern European region involve uncertainties, including tax
uncertainties and risks related to foreign exchange rates that
typically do not exist in other markets.
