Zhoda Investments has conducted a legal analysis regarding the possibility of initiating proceedings against the Russian Federation for the unlawful seizure of natural gas assets in the Black Sea following the annexation of Crimea in 2014. The analysis indicates that Zhoda has a strong legal position and a solid basis for receiving compensation. For about 15 years, a subsidiary of Zhoda has partnered with a Ukrainian state-owned company to develop offshore gas licenses near Crimea. After the annexation, these assets were seized without compensation. Recently, the Ukrainian state was awarded USD 46 million for its 50% ownership in the same assets. Zhoda, which holds the remaining 50%, is considering pursuing its own claim. The analysis highlights a strong legal basis for Zhoda's claim, significant compensation potential exceeding USD 46 million, and the need for enforcement proceedings against Russia following a favorable ruling. Zhoda will evaluate its options and provide updates on developments. Zhoda Investments is involved in various ventures, including wineries in Croatia and an oil field in Ukraine.

Zhoda Investments continues to develop its oil operations in Ukraine despite the challenges of Russia's invasion. The company, which holds a 45% interest in an oil field east of Kyiv, reports that daily operations and oil production are ongoing. To counter a decline in production due to the pandemic and invasion, a work program was launched in 2024 to repair non-producing wells, resulting in a 19% increase in monthly production by December 2024 compared to August. The oil business remains profitable, contributing to Ukraine's energy supply and allowing a dividend distribution of SEK 4 million to Zhoda in 2024. Zhoda is also assessing legal options for compensation related to gas assets in the Black Sea confiscated by Russia. The company has engaged legal experts to explore a claim at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, with an assessment expected by spring 2025. All figures refer to Zhoda's 45% share in the oil field.
