BIDS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ELECTRONIC TOLL SYSTEM OPENED

December 17, 2015 - DARS d.d. today opened bids for the establishment
and operation of multi-lane free-flow electronic toll collection
system on motorways and expressways. DARS d.d. will continue with the
selection process in accordance with the law, with the desire for a
speedy establishment of the system.

Bids were submitted by: CETIS d.d. and AUTOSTRADE S.P.A. and
ENGINEERING S.P.A.; The consortium ISKRATEL d.o.o. and SKYTOLL A.S.;
Kapsch TrafficCom d.o.o. and Kapsch TrafficCom AG; The consortium
TELEKOM SLOVENIJE d.d. and Q-FREE ASA.

No. Provider Offer in (EUR) without VAT
1 CETIS d.d. and AUTOSTRADE S.P.A. and ENGINEERING 114,602,211.20
S.P.A .
2 Consortium ISKRATEL d.o.o. and SKYTOLL a.s. 110,110,296.41
3 Kapsch TrafficCom d.o.o. and Kapsch TrafficCom AG 114,957,604.10
4 Konsortium TELEKOM SLOVENIJE d.d. and Q-FREE ASA 99,991,795.10

Several bids were submitted. When choosing a contractor, DARS d.d.
will account in 70 percent the prices and in 30 percent the levels of
technological services, offered by providers.

The largest part of the revenue of DARS d.d. represents the
collection of tolls (97 percent in 2014). Toll revenue this year will
expectedly amount to 346 million euros (of which around 54 percent is
charged to vehicles above 3.5 tons).

Currently 53.9 km of a total of 613.5 km of motorways managed by DARS
d.d. are not tolled by the toll stations. Based on the study of
inflows from tolls, DARS d.d. estimates that after the introduction
of the multi-lane free-flow electronic toll collection system it will
collect on average 13 million euro more tolls annually from tolling
vehicles above 3.5 t, compared to the existing toll collection
system. Thereby we categorically reject some estimations that DARS
d.d. loses 100 million euros or even more incomes per year.

The decision on the selection will be announced in the beginning of
next year. With the present public procurement DARS d.d. pursues the
objective of an early establishment of a system that will allow a
both user and environmentally friendly as well as cost-effective and
economically feasible tolling. After the introduction of the system
the toll stations will become unnecessary, with this we will enable
quicker and safer transport for all users.

The system will be established within one year after signing the
contract, i.e. after the final legally valid decision on the
selection.

During the procedure some inaccuracies concerning the tendering
process for the electronic toll collection system have appeared in
the public. Explanations are published here:
