NOTICE OF CONSEQUENCES OF BUSINESS TEAM RESTRUCTURING
Dear clients,
as you could read in the previous news from today, the APF GROUP has experienced very dynamic growth in recent months, which in many ways exceeds our long-term plans and expectations. Paradoxically, this rapid growth found us less prepared in the area of maintaining the quality of business processes and managing the too rapid expansion of the business structure. The existing external trading structure has grown to such an extent that it was unable to provide sufficient training for traders, as a result of which unprofessional behavior of some of its members, especially new ones, began to appear.
Of course, we strongly object to any unethical or unprofessional behavior, because our first priority has always been and always will be a satisfied client. We do not intend to risk, in any way, that similar actions should continue to increase unchecked, therefore the management of APF GROUP decided to make a fundamental change - to leave the existing business structure and create a new one. Because this decision required quick and decisive executive action, we faced a slight deviation from the expected trading results at the end of September as a result, which will cause a delay in sending trading returns for a minority of our clients by 1-3 days.
We are fully aware that a similar situation has occurred for the first time and could therefore raise certain doubts. Although this payment delay only affects approximately 5% of our clients, we are notifying and communicating it to all clients to avoid the possible spread of misinformation. We are convinced that the regularly achieved excellent economic results and the positive consequences of business restructuring will clearly justify this minor one-off complication. In the coming weeks, we will also introduce other attractive products that will allow you to further and profitably evaluate your investments.
At the same time, we would like to point out that due to the rapid business growth of our group, independent negotiations may occur, from which we clearly distance ourselves. Only business managers listed on our website https://apfgroupcr.com/en/kontakt/ are authorized to deal with our clients on behalf of the APF GROUP. If anyone else were to offer you APF GROUP products or provide any information about the APF GROUP portfolio, this may be purposeful, fraudulent or manipulative behavior with the intention of harming the interests of our clients and the APF GROUP itself. We have also recorded cases of intentional damage to the good name of the APF GROUP among clients by some merchants with whom cooperation has been terminated. If you personally encounter similar behavior, we will be very grateful if you inform us about it so that we can continuously take steps to protect our clients from similar situations and prevent them.
We thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Rebranding of the APF GROUP
Dear Clients,

Starting in November, we will begin to intensify our communication regarding our brand, VERDANT, which represents a private fund for qualified and professional investors, established by the APF GROUP.
The first step is the launch of our new website, followed by communication campaigns in the media and public spaces. These campaigns aim to introduce VERDANT as an investment tool through which it is possible to support Czech agriculture and acquire the highest quality Czech agricultural land. One of the campaign's themes will highlight our roots, the legacy of our ancestors, which we aim to protect and pass on to future generations in the best possible condition.
This also marks a new approach to how we communicate about the fund and our group as a whole. We want to provide you with even more information about our activities, market developments, and the projects we are involved in. Our goal is to be completely transparent in all our operations, as we believe this is the essential path to mutual trust and the development of our collaboration.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on the VERDANT website and let us know what information you would like to have available to ensure your satisfaction and enable you to make informed investment decisions.

APFC token market price development
Dear Clients,
According to Whitepaper, a key attribute of the APFC token is that the funds raised through its sale are used to purchase agricultural land and to finance agricultural projects in the Czech Republic. The value of the APFC token is therefore correlated (correlation) with the value of agricultural assets owned by APF GROUP.
As an example, we present the correlation between the development of the market price of the APFC token (source: CoinGecko) and the development of the total area of agricultural land owned by APF GROUP (source: APF GROUP) for the comparable period of 2024.
This correlation represents a kind of "gold standard" for the project of tokenization of agricultural land. In our case it is defined as the "VERDANT standard".
The VERDANT standard is expressed in terms of the value of agricultural assets owned by APF GROUP and represents the fair value backing of the APFC token. This standard reduces the risk of price volatility, lack of liquidity and the ability to meet all obligations related to holding the APFC token.
Definition:
Correlation means a correlation between two random processes or random variables. If one of the random variables changes, then the other changes and vice versa. If a correlation is identified between two random processes, it is likely that they depend on each other.
The gold standard is a way of expressing the value of a currency in a monetary system where the standard economic measure is gold.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust.

Cooperation with the INVESTBAY project
Dear clients,
we have already informed you about the establishment of close cooperation with the INVESTBAY project (https://www.investbay.com/o-nas).
The project focuses on micro-investments in attractive holiday properties within Europe. In the form of crowd-owning, it allows clients to invest in real estate in small amounts. It uses real estate tokenization for investments, similar to the case of our project APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. for agricultural land.
APF GROUP supported the project by providing convertible debt (equity participation) and purchasing tokens linked to specific properties.
At the same time, we are preparing to expand the cooperation by mutual support of the sale of tokens of both projects. As part of this cooperation, we will enable APF GROUP clients to purchase the tokens in question with the same security as in the case of APFC tokens. The purchase and securing will be carried out by APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o.
We will keep you informed about the further development of this project.
Thank you for your cooperation and the opportunity to further develop our business activities.
Agricultural land exchange for APFC token
Dear clients,
based on your increasing inquiries and requests for the possible exchange of agricultural land held in client portfolios (real APF GROUP products) for the APFC token, we inform you of the following.
Token exchange (product swap) is possible for APF GROUP clients as part of the token buyback product secured by a lien on the land that is the subject of the exchange.
As part of this product, clients who request an exchange can get a more favorable investment valuation with adequate collateral. The lien on the land is registered in the land registry in favor of the client throughout the duration of the contractual relationship. Unlike normal products, where we currently use the institution of a security agent, in this case, specific land is mortgaged in favor of a specific client (secured creditor).
We already provide other product swaps as standard.
In case of questions, you can contact a sales representative or info@apfgroupcr.com.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust.

Market capitalization of the APFC token
Dear clients,
within the framework of the agricultural land tokenization project through the APFC token, we hereby inform you that the current market capitalization (Market Cap) is close to the value of CZK 700 million. Market capitalization represents the total market value of tokens in circulation. As of July 15, 2024, the market capitalization increased by almost CZK 200 million. The increase in market capitalization is determined by the price of the token and the increase in the growth of the amount of tokens in circulation.
The sale of circulating amount of tokens (exchange sale or direct sale) is currently 44,422,122 pieces. The increase in the amount of circulating tokens compared to the amount on 7/15. amounts to 6,766,281 pieces (by 18%).

Change in the method of securing the contractual obligations of the APF GROUP
Dear clients,
due to the significant increase in the number of realized mortgage contracts for purchased land, which are used to arrange security for the contractual obligations of the APF GROUP, and thus also the disproportionate increase in administration on the part of the company and the legal office, we are hereby announcing the introduction of the following measure to prevent the extension of implementation deadlines.
From September 2024, the institute of collateral agent will be newly introduced into the contractual conditions for all types of contractual obligations. A collateral agent is a legal or natural person who accepts collateral for contractual obligations on its own account for the benefit of individual creditors. In the event that the company fails to meet its obligations and is unable to ensure the repayment of obligations, the agent may, based on the consent and decision of the creditors, exercise a lien on the purchased land to satisfy the claims of individual creditors. The agent is thus a kind of solidary creditor representing the rights of all creditors.
APF GROUP's Liability Security Agent function is added to secure the interests of creditors and increase the security of the investment.
In insolvency proceedings, in addition, the security agent has a much stronger position, the whole process is more coordinated and higher yields can be achieved.
Currently, the selection of a security agent (notary, lawyer, auditor, banking institution) is underway.
The contractually anchored joint and several liability of the companies in the APF GROUP will continue to be part of securing creditors' claims.
Drafted and executed mortgage contracts will be gradually concluded and the lien will be entered into the real estate cadastre.
From September 2024, it will be possible to enter into a mortgage agreement for specific plots of land to secure a contractual obligation for investments from CZK 3.0 million.
We are at your disposal in case of questions.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust.

Capital connection of companies in the APF GROUP
Dear Clients,
The project for tokenizing agricultural land through the APFC token was launched in 2022 and has been gradually financed by the operating results of companies within the APF GROUP. Currently, it has reached a market capitalization of CZK 500 million with a total circulating supply of over 38 million tokens. Additionally, the token is traded on 8 cryptocurrency exchanges within the TOP 30 (including 2 in the TOP 15). In the coming months, it is preparing to be listed on a TOP 10 exchange with an average daily trading volume of CZK 33.5 billion. This will fulfill the strategic goal of the project for the token's liquidity, price stability, and credibility.
Based on these facts, the management of APF GROUP has decided on a capital connection between APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. and APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o.
APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will acquire a 51% equity stake in APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. Simultaneously, it will capitalize a receivable of CZK 300 million through a voluntary additional payment outside the basic capital to increase the equity of APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. From the value of this equity increase, APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. is entitled to a guaranteed annual profit share of 10% (even in the case of a loss). APF DIGITAL AGRIFUND CR s.r.o. will assume the liabilities of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. totaling CZK 600 million, which will be gradually paid off, including related costs, in accordance with the agreed maturity from the profit of the token sale. APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will continue to guarantee these liabilities in the form of joint and several liability; however, these liabilities will no longer be part of the company's balance sheet. With the assumption of liabilities with the consent of creditors (arranged by the law firm), the total liabilities of APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will be reduced, thereby decreasing the company's overall indebtedness.
The proceeds from the sale of APFC tokens will continue to primarily finance the purchase of agricultural land and agricultural projects within the APF GROUP. The above-average profit from the sale of tokens allows us to adequately cover financial costs, thereby stabilizing the operations of the entire APF GROUP.

Market prices for agricultural land in 2023
Dear Clients,
We bring you information on the development of market prices of agricultural land for 2023. Based on the Land Market Report for 2023 published by FARMY.CZ s.r.o., the market prices for 2023 have increased by 2.9% compared to 2022 in the whole Czech Republic. After 2 years of double-digit growth, there has been a cooling on the overall demand side, which is to be expected given the previous periods (the difference is in the length of the period, which depends on macroeconomic conditions).
With this, APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. (APF GROUP) comments on the changes in market prices for 2023. With regard to the locations in which our company actively trades and buys (main production agricultural areas), we provide information on the changes in market prices in each district:
| Region / Change % | Market price at the end of 2022 / and at the end of 2023 |
|---|---|
| Prostějov 19,40 % | 67,- CZK/m2 80,- CZK/m2 |
| Přerov 18,18 % | 55,- CZK/m2 65,- CZK/m2 |
| Vyškov 18,18 % | 55,- CZK/m2 65,- CZK/m2 |
| Kroměříž 25,00 % | 52,- CZK/m2 65,- CZK/m2 |
| Brno-venkov 16,66 % | 60,- CZK/m2 70,- CZK/m2 |
| Břeclav 15,38 % | 52,- CZK/m2 60,- CZK/m2 |
| Znojmo 21,42 % | 70,- CZK/m2 85,- CZK/m2 |
| Hodonín 20,00 % | 50,- CZK/m2 60,- CZK/m2 |
| Uherské Hradiště 20,00 % | 50,- CZK/m2 60,- CZK/m2 |
These are the average market prices in the localities in question for predominantly arable land with a BPEJ above CZK 10,-/m2 (Decree No.227/2018 Coll. issued by the Ministry of Agriculture), in climate zones 0,1,2,3 and selected land in zones 4 and 6, with a maximum medium slope. All plots are proffered under market conditions.
The market prices are derived from actual transactions during 2023 and reflect the real evolution of market prices in the locations mentioned. In 2023, APF GROUP completed a total of 471 transactions with a total value of CZK 389,559,884.00 and purchased land with a total value of CZK 217,675,643.00 (384.7 ha). These values still show a significant difference in market prices compared to the average market prices for all types of agricultural land and for the whole country.
In terms of further development of market prices, APF GROUP expects a cooling of demand for agricultural land throughout the Czech Republic in connection with the decline in interest rates and inflation rates. However, we also expect a gradual increase in the interest of non-agricultural investors in investing in agricultural land as a suitable way of protecting their money from inflation depreciation, precisely in connection with the decline in interest rates. There will continue to be highly selective demand for specific locations and land with above-average BPEJ. The pace of market price growth will be influenced primarily by further inflation and falling interest rates. The upward pressure on prices on the supply side will cause a decline in demand, which will result in a decline in the overall value of completed transactions. This offers us the opportunity to negotiate more favourable purchase prices for land owned by APF GROUP. Paradoxically, this may result in better appreciation in the annual revaluation of the market value of land than at a time when increased demand is pushing prices up and sellers are unwilling to negotiate prices.
We thank you for your continued goodwill and cooperation to date.

We would like to inform you that as of 15 January 2024, in cooperation with DELTA investiční společnost a.s., we will start subscription of investment shares of the fund APF GROUP CR SICAV a.s. More information on the fund can be found on this page.

APF VENTURE CAPITAL CR s.r.o. will continue to provide real estate services for clients, real investments in the form of direct ownership of agricultural land (client portfolios) and secured participation in the purchase of agricultural land. For the sake of transparency, here are examples of APF GROUP's investments in the agricultural sector that will be implemented by the fund and for which the implementation process has already started.
1) Reducing the credit indebtedness of the agricultural company through the direct purchase of agricultural land subject to a mortgage in favour of the financing bank. The purchased land is then leased back to the agricultural company with a long-term notice period (e.g. 10 years).The agricultural company continues to farm the land in question and pays the agreed rent. The income of the Fund in this case is generated on the basis of the rental income and the regular annual revaluation of the market value of the purchased agricultural land.As part of the extension of the cooperation with the agricultural company, the provision of long-term financing for the business is envisaged. In this case, the income of the fund will be extended by the interest received on the financing provided.
2) Capital injection into an operating agricultural company and provision of financing for its business activities (investment, operation). The income of the Fund in this case is the share of the profits of the agricultural company and the interest income from the financing provided.
3) Establishment of an agricultural company (or capital entry) with a tenant farming on agricultural land owned by the Fund. The Fund acquires the business interest, leases the agricultural land owned by the Fund and provides financing for the agricultural company. In this case, the income of the fund is a share of the profits of the agricultural company, the rental income, interest income and the periodic revaluation of the market value of the agricultural land owned by the fund. We will keep you informed of the specific business cases implemented.

Results of the APF GROUP owner as a person
Dear Clients,
As part of our corporate value Transparency, we hereby publish the results of the APF GROUP owner as a natural person.
The reported results are from the period prior to the establishment of Agrární půdní fond s.r.o. (25 May 2020) and the subsequent transformation of the activities of the physical All tax liabilities from previous years have been paid. Income from the business comes from real estate activities (real estate brokerage and purchase and sale of agricultural land).
Tax base (line 55 of the Personal Income Tax Return):
2018: CZK 495,069
2019: CZK 3,664,524
2020: CZK 2,392,695
2021: CZK 990,145
2022: CZK 2,214,400
The aforementioned after-tax income was used to finance the establishment and development of Agrární půdní fond s.r.o. In 2021 and 2022, the income from business of a natural person were fully transferred to a legal entity. This answers a common question as to where the funding for the development of the company came from and whether the agricultural land business was already profitable before the establishment of Agrarian Land Fund Ltd.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.
Examples of completed deals in 2019
Dear Clients,
This is in response to frequent inquiries about the resulting gross margins on agricultural land trades executed to cover client returns in real investments or cash management.
We are often asked how it is possible to offer an investment appreciation of 12% p.a. or higher and keep the entire investment model profitable over the long term.
To get a basic idea of what active agricultural land trading can look like, we illustrate examples of our Portfolio Manager's executed trades in 2019. This gives clients a closer look into the "business kitchen" of the company.
We deliberately chose 2019 because of the stagnation of demand and balanced supply, which were reflected in a year-on-year increase in market prices of land across the country of "only" 1.3% (farmy.cz). From the examples of the transactions documented, it is clear that it is possible to achieve a much higher appreciation (gross profitability) than the average annual increase in market prices through proper land selection (parameterisation), detailed knowledge of demand and market prices.
The long-term results are confirmed by the large number of completed transactions, which alone determine the real market price and thus the resulting gross profit. We adapt our trading strategy to the macroeconomic and monetary conditions of the period. However, in the long term, we maintain a gross profitability of 20-30% p.a. and adjust our land selection and entry prices for purchases accordingly. We have already published the gross profitability levels for land sold within APF GROUP for 2021 (29.24%, note gross profitability is calculated on the purchase price of the land). We are currently compiling the results for 2022, which we will inform you about.
There are many would-be "experts" in the market for agricultural land trading and guaranteed "market price experts" or various types of analysts. If someone works in the real estate business, it does not mean that he is an expert in trading agricultural land, unless he specializes in it for a long time and does a high number of real transactions. Often, farmers themselves are not experts in land trading as they only buy land in their action radius and directly from tenants who have no idea what the real market price of the land they are selling to them in this way is. The confrontation with the real market price is then very uncomfortable for them.
So if you are looking for an expert, ask how many deals he has completed and with what results. You can judge by that whether you are getting appropriate answers or just "amateur" assumptions and opinions. The APF GROUP honours the principle that every published figure must be substantiated and therefore realistic.
Practically, we are able to provide you with evidence of every transaction carried out within the Group (purchase contract purchase - purchase contract sale). The total number of trades executed by the Portfolio Manager exceeded 1500 and the total amount of CZK 900 million.
If you have any further questions on the subject, we will be happy to answer your questions.
Thank you for your trust and cooperation.

Modification of the General Terms and Conditions for real products from 1.6.2023
Dear Clients,
We would like to inform you that as of 1 June 2023, new General Terms and Conditions for real products (IZP, DIZP, PDIZP, IP and IPI) will come into force. The modification of the GTC, as previously mentioned, consists in setting the amount of the minimum secured yield (MZV), which is part of the future purchase price specified in the future purchase contract. Until now, the amount of the MFA has been set as fixed (e.g. 12% p.a.). From 1 June 2023, the amount of the MFA will be set as a floating rate depending on the level of the base reference rate. The basic reference rate corresponds to the discount rate announced by the CNB (currently 6% p.a.). Construction of the total amount of the MFA = basic reference rate + risk premium (e.g. 6% p.a. + 4% p.a.). The total amount of the IRR will be determined on the date of signing the General Terms and Conditions and will be valid for the entire duration of the investment.
The full text of the GTC can be found at: https://apfgroupcr.com/en/produkt/
These terms and conditions will reflect real macroeconomic developments and monetary conditions in the Czech Republic.

Joint and several liability of individual companies in the APF GROUP
Dear Clients,
Within the framework of the concluded obligations of individual companies in the APF GROUP (https://apfgroupcr.com/en/skupina-apf/), we apply the principle of joint and several liability for these obligations with immediate effect.
In practice, this principle means for the creditors of each company in the APF GROUP that if a company fails to fulfil its contractual obligation towards the creditor, the creditor is entitled to call upon any other company in the APF GROUP to fulfil the company's obligation and the company is obliged to fulfil the obligation jointly and severally. This principle is intended to significantly strengthen the position of the creditor (client) in the contractual relationship and thus reduce the risk of possible future delinquency of an individual company. At the same time, the principle of joint and several liability will be incorporated into all binding contracts.
The APF GROUP hereby declares that the principle of joint and several liability of individual companies in the APF GROUP also applies to all previously concluded contractual relationships of individual companies in the APF GROUP.
Thank you for your trust and cooperation so far.

New project within the APF GROUP
Dear Clients,
We would like to inform you about another of our projects within the APF GROUP.
We have acquired an unmaintained plot of land registered as arable land in the outskirts of the village of Hněvotín with an area of 645 m2 into the ownership of APF GROUP in May 2022. The land is situated between a development of houses and a secondary paved municipal road. A high-pressure gas pipeline runs through the plot, which does not allow to use the land as a building plot. It was fallow land without trees and shrubs, but with high soil fertility (BPEJ). There was no lease agreement for the land. As an agricultural entrepreneur, we decided to use the land to establish a commercial garden based on natural principles at the lowest possible cost. Our goal is to create a low cost edible and living garden that will be used to grow vegetables, fruits, small berries, medicinal herbs and flowers. At the same time, we aim to attract birds, insects and small animals to the garden by planting shrubs and establishing flowering meadows. All activities will be in line with ecological principles without the use of chemicals and with sustainability for future generations. The project is financed from the retained earnings of the APF GROUP. By implementing this project, we will achieve a significant long-term appreciation of the land owned by the APF GROUP.
We will keep you informed about the development of the project.
Thank you for your cooperation and trust so far.

Dear clients,
We bring you information on the development of market prices of agricultural land for 2022. Based on the Report on the Land Market for 2022 published by FARMY.CZ s.r.o., the market prices for 2022 have increased by 13.51% compared to 2021 throughout the Czech Republic.
Agrarian Land Fund Ltd (APF) hereby comments on the changes in market prices for the year 2022. With regard to the locations in which our company actively trades (main agricultural production areas), we provide information on the changes in market prices in individual districts:
| District / Change % | Market price at end of 2021 / and at end of 2022 |
|---|---|
| Prostějov 34,00 % | 50,- Kč/m2 67,- Kč/m2 |
| Přerov 37,50 % | 40,- Kč/m2 55,- Kč/m2 |
| Vyškov 37,50 % | 40,- Kč/m2 55,- Kč/m2 |
| Kroměříž 30,00 % | 40,- Kč/m2 52,- Kč/m2 |
| Brno-venkov 50,00 % | 40,- Kč/m2 60,- Kč/m2 |
| Břeclav 36,84 % | 38,- Kč/m2 52,- Kč/m2 |
| Znojmo 75,00 % | 40,- Kč/m2 70,- Kč/m2 |
| Hodonín 31,57 % | 38,- Kč/m2 50,- Kč/m2 |
| Uherské Hradiště 31,57 % | 38,- Kč/m2 50,- Kč/m2 |
| Louny 36,84 % | 38,- Kč/m2 52,- Kč/m2 |

These are the average market prices in the localities in question for predominantly arable land with a BPEJ above CZK 10,-/m2 (Decree No.227/2018 Coll. issued by the Ministry of Agriculture), in climate zones 0,1,2,3 and selected land in zones 4 and 6, with a maximum medium slope. All plots are proffered under market conditions.
The market prices are derived from actual transactions during 2022 and reflect the real development of market prices in the listed locations. APF executed a total of 370 transactions in 2022 with a total value of CZK 201,790,246. These values show a significant difference in market prices compared to the average market prices for all types of agricultural land and for the whole country.
In terms of further development of market prices, APF expects a gradual increase in the interest of non-agricultural investors in investing in agricultural land as a suitable way of protecting their money from inflation depreciation. There will continue to be a highly selective demand for specific locations and land with above-average BPEJ. The pace of market price growth will be influenced primarily by further developments in inflation and interest rates. The development of the conflict in Ukraine will also play a role, which will be more likely to be reflected in the long-term growth potential of world agricultural commodity prices.
We would like to thank you for your support and cooperation so far.

Rating:
§ 3 ZPKT (No. 256/2004 Coll., Act on Business on Capital Markets) contains an exhaustive list of investment instruments, although the company calls the purchase of real estate an investment, it is not an investment in investment instruments and the ZPKT does not apply to this service. The collection of property from the public is concerned with this matter relating to services only for the preparation of documents for purchase and subsequent purchase from the client. APF does not have the option to dispose of the investor’s property in any way possible. There is no joint property management of AFP clients, as each client owns real estate, AFP does not handle the purchase and sale, however, it helps with the conclusion of purchase contracts through a real estate agency.
Conclusion:
We have not found any flaws with this service.
The additional product Participation in the purchase of agricultural land was introduced on the recommendation of the audit in accordance with Act No. 240/2013 Coll., on investment companies and investment funds.
