The list of sections for IAC calculation, classified by line classes, mentioned in the methodology, is approved by Addendum No. 1 for the year 2025 to the Contract of Activity and Performance of CFR SA for the period 2021-2025, presented in Annex 24.b. The extract with the List of sections for IAC calculation is presented in Annex 25.b. Currently the CFR network is divided into over 1300 sections for IAC calculation. c) The values of the basic tariff elements for the IAC calculation The basic tariff elements are what actually determine the IAC value for a running train. These represent the average costs per km, recorded by the CFR for ensuring the operation of the railway infrastructure for the running of a train on each class of line, such as those for the maintenance and repair of the lines depending on the tonnage of the trains, those for traffic activities (traffic management and signalling) and those for electrification. From the assembly of the values of these charges elements specific to the line classes related to the traffic route of a train within the methodology formula, it results the IAC value for the respective train.

The values of the basic tariff elements for the calculation of IAC for each class of IAC and by type of freight or passenger traffic mentioned in the methodology, are established by CFR SA, in accordance with the provisions of the Contract of Activity and Performance of CFR SA for the period 2021-2025 in compliance with Law No. 202/2016 and the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/909. The values of the basic tariff elements for the IAC calculation are presented in paragraph 1.1 of Appendix 26.a. When establishing the new values of the basic tariff elements, the following were taken into account:

• - the increase in costs caused by the price increases for energy and fuel used for the operation of the public

railway infrastructure;

• - the decrease in the tonnage factor (Ft) for freight traffic from 0.00025 to 0.00020 was maintained, given

that the structure of the OTF freight wagon fleet has improved, in the sense that the share of wagons with braking proportional to the load has increased;

• - the decrease in the value of the basic tariff elements for lower category lines in class D;
• - the results of the consultancy project carried out for CFR by the company First Class Partnerships Limited,

for the "TUI calculation consultancy" service. Following simulations carried out by SC Informatica Feroviară with the circulation of passenger and freight trains across the entire CFR network, it resulted that the application of these values leads to an increase in the amounts related to TUI compared to the previous period by an average of 14.43% for passenger traffic and 13.86% for freight traffic with an overall average of 14.24%.

d) IAC Calculation IAC is also calculated for each running train, based on the elements provided in the methodology by applying the values of the basic tariff elements in the IAC calculation formula. On the railway lines equipped with electrification systems, IAC includes the costs of electrical equipment, only for trains using electric traction. However, this does not include the value of traction current (electricity) which is an additional service and it is dealt with in Article 5.4.1. For the running of light engines (for freight RUs or passenger RUs), the type of traffic that generates the lowest IAC value, i.e., the value for passenger traffic, is taken into account. The IAC calculation is done according to the formula in the methodology, through the Calipso computer system that receives the reports on the traffic of trains through the sectioning points in the IRIS computer system. For each running train, a calculation report is then generated that includes the sections on which
