Anti Money Laundering

Pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations relating to the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism obligations have been imposed on all professionals of the financial sector to prevent the use of securitization undertakings for money laundering purposes. Within this context a procedure for the identification of bondholders has been imposed. Namely, the Subscription Agreement of a prospective bondholder not being a natural person must be accompanied, where applicable, by a copy of its articles of association or constitutive documents and a certified extract from the relevant commercial register and identification on its authorized signatories and economic beneficiaries, and any other documentation that may be requested.

Such identification procedure must be complied with in the case of direct subscriptions and in the case of subscriptions received from any intermediary resident in a country which does not impose on such intermediary an obligation to identify bondholders equivalent to that required under the laws for the prevention of money laundering. Failure to provide proper documentation may result in a refusal of the issuing of bonds or the withholding of redemption proceeds.

It is generally accepted that professionals of the financial sector resident in a country which has ratified the recommendations of the FATF are deemed to be intermediaries having an identification obligation equivalent to that required under the applicable laws. The complete updated list of countries having ratified the recommendations of the FATF is available on www.fatf-gafi.org. Other guidelines, rules and recommendations may be taken into account, as the case may be. Any information provided in this context is collected for anti-money laundering and anti-financing of terrorism compliance purposes only.

Lux Media Securities has commissioned an external auditor, reporting to the Shareholders. The mission, scope of work, authority and responsibilities are laid down in the Audit Charter, which is in conformance with the IIA standards and endorsed by the Board and approved by the external auditor.

The external auditor performs the audit on the consolidated financial statements and the statutory financial statements. In this role, the external auditor attends the annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As part of the audit engagement, the external auditor issues a management letter to the Board in which (potential) improvements in the adequacy and effectiveness of the governance, risk and control framework are being recommended. The Board will make recommendations to the General Meeting once every five years as to the appointment of the external auditor.

The internal auditor undertakes the assessment and reporting on significant current and emerging business performance issues and risks, the administrative framework, internal control systems and regulatory compliance processes.
