    Risks

    Bittnet is a company listed on the Main Market of Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). Investing in the shares or bonds of companies listed on the stock exchange presents multiple risks, the most important being the risk of the complete and definitive loss of the investment. Another important risk specific to bonds is liquidity risk – that is the inability to sell the bonds you own due to a lack of interest from potential buyers. Given the profile of the BNET28A instrument, the issuer cannot guarantee the liquidity level of this bonds. The liquidity and future trading price of the BNET28A bonds depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, prevailing interest rates, the results of the activities of the issuer and the group of which it is part of, the market for similar securities and general economic conditions. As a result, the issuer cannot ensure that an active secondary trading market will actually develop for the BNET28A bonds. Therefore, the fact that bonds will be listed does not necessarily lead to greater liquidity compared to unlisted debt instruments. In an illiquid market, there is a possibility that an investor may not be able to sell the bonds at the desired market price.

    There are numerous other risks, described in detail in the Offer documentation, but also in the periodic and annual reports, as well as in the Universal Registration Document. Before investing in any financial instrument, we encourage you to carefully read all the documentation attached to the Offer!
