  Tariffs set in foreign currency are charged at the exchange rate announced by the Central Bank against the Armenian dram․ Tariffs include only standard fees of Agents of “APRICOT CAPITAL” CJSC (hereinafter – the Company) (unless otherwise specified in the Tariffs), while non-standard fees charged by the Company’s Agents for transactions (including bank transfers) are subject to compensation by the Client. Commission amounts are rounded to 1 digit after the decimal point in the case of AMD and to 2 digits in the case of foreign currency, however, depending on the characteristics of the Agent through which the Client’s instruction or order is executed, the rounding of the commission may be to the detriment of the Client. In the absence of the appropriate currency funds on the Client’s Brokerage or Custody account, the Company has the right to charge the commission in another currency, equivalent to the commission or convert the Client’s funds expressed in another currency (in the amount of commissions) for the purpose of charging the commission, except for the cases provided by RA legislation. In the above mentioned case, commission fees are charged at the exchange rate offered by commercial banks cooperating with the Company, which is most favorable for the Client. The basis for calculating the market value of securities is the data obtained from authoritative sources (for example, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance e.t.c.), as well as the information provided by the Agents of the Company through which the custody of these securities is carried out. In the absence of the market value of depository receipts, the market value of the security underlying the depository receipt may also be taken as a basis. Depending on the Client’s business profile, the nature, volume and riskiness of the transactions made by him, by the decision of the Executive Director of the Company for the Client may be set tariffs different from the Tariffs mentioned in this decision, about which the Client is properly notified in advance. Tariffs do not include VAT and are subject to taxation in the cases specified by RA legislation.
