Annual report 20191GridServices, s.r.o.Statement by the Executive DirectorLadies and Gentlemen,A look back on 2019 cannot but start with mentioning an important milestone – a changein the Company's ownership structure. A consortium of investors headed by Macquarie Infrastructureand Real Assets (MIRA), which includes British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI)and Allianz Capital Partners, representing Allianz Group insurance companies, increased its stake ininnogy Grid Holding, a.s., (currently Czech Grid Holding), and consequently its subsidiary GridServices,s.r.o., to 100%.The transaction terminated our membership in the innogy Group. We began a process of buildinga strong, autonomous, and fully independent servicing company catering to the gas sector.The investors' interest in buying into the Company testifies to the fact that our business is attractiveto major strong global players. Likewise, it guarantees continuity and symbolizes the culminationof a partnership of more than six years. As in previous years, our clear priority in 2019 was providingtop-level, professional services to the Distribution System Operator, GasNet, s.r.o.We succeeded in maintaining a high level of services throughout the reported year. That madea considerable contribution to the reliable, safe, and economical operation of the gas distributionsystem. One of the areas where our focus concentrated was occupational safety. A fundamental pillarof our business, employees' health is our number one priority. We mainly placed emphasison preventing workplace injuries sustained during pedestrian activities and on reducing the risk of trafficaccidents. We successfully deepened cooperation with contractors with regard to occupational safety.Throughout 2019, GridServices continued to enlarge and improve the portfolio of services for end usersof natural gas. We were very active in providing consulting and brokering furnace subsidies, thanksto which a highly positive trend was recorded as regards the restoration of gas supply to dormant servicelines. All our services were offered via new online applications, where we are committed to enlargingthe service portfolio with a view to reinforcing the status of natural gas on the energy market.To conclude, I want to thank all employees and partners for their responsible and conscientious attitudeto work and a job well done. I am certain that their proactive attitude to day-to-day duties will continueto increase the importance of natural gas.Likewise, I trust that as in previous years, we will together meet our ambitious objectives in 2020.Martin GebauerChairman of the Executive Directors4
