substantiated and that there has been no leak of confidential information
relating to clients or debtors from the company's IT systems. Thus, B2Holding

and to a continued open and constructive dialogue and cooperation with any
central or local authority on compliance and regulatory affairs, including AZOP
in Croatia.
