Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Annual Shareholder Meeting: Scheduled for May 11, 2022, in London, United Kingdom.
- Record Date: Set for April 14, 2022 (Note: The text contains a likely typographical error stating "April 14, 2020," which is inconsistent with the 2022 meeting date).

- Re-election of Mr. Aristides Pittas as a Class II director until the 2025 ASM.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain specific financial guidance, management commentary on market outlook, or a detailed discussion of risks and contingencies. It notes that the Chairman and CEO, Valentios Valentis, provided comments in the attached press release, but the content of those comments is not reproduced in this Form 6-K text.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Review Exhibit 99.1 (the attached press release) for the actual unaudited financial results for Q4 and FY 2021.
- Verify the correct record date for the 2022 ASM, as the text lists "April 14, 2020" which appears to be a clerical error.
- Monitor the proxy materials (expected around April 21, 2022) for the specific reverse stock split ratio to be determined by the Board.
- Confirm the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals (April 14, 2022) if intending to participate in the ASM.
