The General meeting of the Shareholders of PIC Doverie AD held on June 24th, 2002 resolved on the merger of the Bulgarian Pension Insurance Company and the pension fundsmanaged by it with Pension Insurance Company Doverie and the respective pension funds under its management. After finalization of the necessary procedures, on May 28th, 2003 the merger between the two companies was completed.

2.Legal framework
Pension insurance companies are joint-stock companies registeredunder the Trade Act with minimum required capital of BGN 5 million,licensed for the only activity of pension fund management. The operation of the company and the administered pension funds is regulated by the Social Insurance Code and the respective secondary legislation and is controlled by the Financial Supervision Commission.
Since August 2nd, 2004 according to the Social Insurance Code the minimum required amount of capital of a pension insurance company was increased to BGN 5,000,000.
In accordance with the amendments to the Code the pension insurance companies were given a period ending May 2nd, 2004 to bring theiractivities in compliance with the provisions on:
Concluding contracts with custodian banks of the pension funds;
Transferring all assets kept in the depository banks to be kept in the custodian bank;
Bringing in compliance with the amended investment restrictions and bans.
In this connection UBB AD sold its shares of the capital of PIC Doverie AD which allowed the signing of a contract with the bank for custodian services for all pension funds managed by the Company.
As of May 2nd, 2004 the activity of the Company and the funds under its management was set in conformity with the provisions of the Social Insurance Code.
In line with ORDINANCE No 3 of September 24, 2003 on the terms and procedures for switching participation and transferring the amounts accrued in an insured person’s individual account from one supplementary pension fund to another fund of the same type, managed by another pension insurance companyin 2006 four transfers of funds were made to supplementary mandatory pension funds managed by other pension companies.
In conformity with the requirements of the Code and ORDINANCE No 9 of November 19, 2003 on the terms and procedures for valuation of assets and liabilities of supplementary pension funds and pension insurance companies, the value of the fund's net assets, on calculation and announcement of the value of a unit, as well as on the requirements for maintaining individual accounts (ORDINANCE No 9) issued by the Chairperson of the Financial Supervision Commission (the Commission) from July 1, 2004 the assets of the insured persons have been accounted both in BGN and in number of units. The Companies should daily determine the number of units in each fund as well as the value of their net assets, and also the value of one unit as a resultative value. The unit values are calculated every day by 6.00 pm and are announced in every office of the company and in its web page. Ordinance 9 introduced common rules for valuation of the financial assets by their fair value which gave an additional possibility for comparing the investment results of the funds.
Significant changes in the framework of the investment regime of the pension funds were adopted with the amendments to the Code, issued in SG 17/24.02.2006, part of them coming into effect after the Republic of Bulgaria’s Accession to the European Union.
The main amendments are as follows:
The requirement for the minimum amount of investments in government securities became invalid;
The securities issued in the Republic of Bulgaria were given the same status with those of EU;
Additional liberalization of the investment regime of the pension funds by increasing the amounts of the restricted classes of allowed assets.
The Management of the Company estimates positively the changes with regard to the expanding of the possibilities for diversification of the portfolios of the pension funds and more flexible risk management.
