    Notes:

    • Total EBITDA = operating profit + depreciation and impairment losses + provisions (increase and reversal)

    • Cash flow = retained earnings + depreciation and impairment losses + provisions (increase and reversal)

    • Net debt = non-current interest bearing debt (net of loan issue charges) + current interest-bearing debt (including debts to shareholders) - cash and cash equivalents

    • In comparison with 2014, the year was impacted by the full consolidation of the Supremo Group on 1 July 2015, the inclusion of AMS in January and the change in Portucel's stake from 81.19% to 69.4% in July 2015, the latter only impacts the retained profits attributable to Semapa shareholders

      PORTUCEL DIVIDENDS

    • In December, Portucel distributed in advance the earnings of 2015 in the amount of 30 million euros, equivalent to 0.0418 Euros/share, and earnings carried forward amounting to 100 million euros, equivalent to 0.1395 euros /share, within the information included in the Voluntary General Tender Offer Prospectus dated 3 July 2015, as stated in Portucel's communication to the market released on 23 November 2015.


      GENRAL MEETINGS

    • On 30 April 2015, Semapa's Annual General Meeting approved the proposal for the reduction of its share capital by 11,822,445 euros, from 118,332,445 euros to 106,510,000 euros, through the cancellation of 11,822,445 own shares.


    • The Extraordinary General Meeting of Semapa was held on 23 June 2015, at which 98.6% of the capital present or represented voted favourably to approve the only two proposals presented by the shareholder Sodim, SGPS, S.A.: a) Acquisition of a maximum of 48,461,924 own shares by Semapa, and each shareholder who accepted this offer would receive 3.40 shares of Portucel for each Semapa share owned by it, and b) Reduction of the share capital of Semapa, by up to 48,461,924 euros, through the cancellation of a maximum of 48,461,924 own shares to be purchased according to the terms of the offer. The shareholders of 74.97% of the share capital of Semapa were present or represented at the shareholders' meeting. After the public exchange offer, which occurred from 6 to 24 July 2015, Semapa purchased 24.864.477 own shares, which were cancelled as a result of the share capital reduction, which now stands at 81,645,523 euros represented by 81,645,523 shares. The Semapa Group reduced its stake in Portucel from 75.85% to 64.84% of the share capital and from 81.19% to 69.40% of the non-suspended voting rights, the effect of which was the Portucel Group's withdrawal from Semapa's tax consolidation, thereby increasing the heading of taxes.
