Yes. At the Applicant’s request, Balkan Capital Assets may facilitate the use of an independent escrow account for the secure handling of any deposits required under the transaction structure – such as the Security Deposit.

The escrow account is typically administered by a licensed third-party escrow agent, such as a regulated financial institution or fiduciary services provider, to ensure full neutrality and transactional integrity. Funds placed into escrow are held in accordance with the provisions of the escrow agreement mutually agreed by the parties, which sets out the specific conditions for release, including milestones such as:

• Issuance of a Pre-Advice SWIFT Message by the Issuing Bank nominated by Balkan Capital Assets;

• Issuance of the Bank Guarantee via authenticated SWIFT MT760 in accordance with URDG 758 rules;

• Completion or cancellation of the facility.

This structure provides the Applicant with an additional layer of security and assurance, ensuring that no funds are released until the predefined contractual obligations have been fulfilled. Full details regarding the use of escrow, including terms and the agents involved, may be provided upon request during the issuance of the Term Sheet or the Collateral Transfer Agreement.
