CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Share-based payments 16.13 The Group has set-up a compensation plan settled in equity instruments (stock options and free share grants). The fair value of services rendered by employees in consideration for the grant of the options is expensed in the income statement. The total amount expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, without taking account of vesting conditions other than market conditions. The latter are incorporated in assumptions regarding the number of options likely to become eligible for exercise. At each period end, the Group examines the number of options likely to become eligible for exercise and, where, applicable, recognizes in the income statement the impact of any adjustment to its estimates through a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of stock options at the grant date is valued based on Monte Carlo simulations. Revenue from the sale of services is recognized in the period in which services are rendered, based on the stage of completion of the transaction as reflected by the ratio of services performed to aggregate services to be performed. Sales of goods Revenue is recognized when the material risks and rewards of ownership of the property concerned are transferred to the buyer. Dividends Revenue from dividends is recognized when the dividend payout is authorized by the Shareholders’ Meeting. In addition, where a dividend distribution includes an option for payment in shares, an asset derivative is recognized and the shares distributed are initially recognized at fair value at the date of election for payment in shares and not at the distribution reference price. Income tax expense 16.15 The tax rates and rules applied are those enacted or substantially enacted at the period end (for current taxes) or that will be effective when the asset is realized or the liability settled (for deferred taxes). Current or deferred tax on items recognized directly in equity is recognized directly in equity and not in profit or loss. Current income tax Income tax assets or liabilities due for the year or for previous years are measured at the amount expected to be collected from or paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax Deferred taxes are recognized using the liability method on all temporary differences existing at the balance sheet date between the tax base and carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on all deductible temporary differences, tax losses carried forward (deferred tax assets) and unused tax credits (deferred tax assets), with the exception of the following two cases: when the deferred tax liability is the result of the initial recognition • of goodwill or when the deferred tax asset or liability is generated by the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other Revenue recognition 16.14 Sales of services

than a business combination and which at the time of occurrence, neither affects the accounting profit nor the taxable profit or loss; and in the case of deductible or taxable temporary differences relating • to investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized unless it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and in the case of deferred tax assets that the temporary difference can be offset against a future taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are also only recognized insofar as it is probable that a taxable profit will be available against which these deferred tax assets may be offset. The likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets is reviewed periodically for each tax entity and may, where appropriate, result in deferred tax assets no longer being recognized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority. Provisions 16.16 This heading covers liabilities with an uncertain due date and of an uncertain amount, resulting from restructurings, environmental risks, litigation and other risks. A provision is set aside whenever the Group has a contractual, legal or implied obligation arising from a past event and when future cash outflows can be reliably estimated. Liabilities resulting from restructuring plans are recognized when the detailed plans are finalized and it is reasonably expected that they will be implemented. Interests relating to investments in 16.17 investment funds A number of investors have decided to invest jointly alongside Eurazeo as part of the Eurazeo Partners and Eurazeo Capital II co-investment funds. Given the limited life of these entities, the amounts invested by co- investors are shown separately from equity in a specific liabilities item entitled “Interests relating to investments in investment funds”. Since the liquidation clauses of the co-investment fund provide for the ultimate distribution in kind to the partners of those investments not previously sold, these interests are measured with reference to the Eurazeo consolidated balance sheet value of the assets concerned, and which will be distributed in repayment of the capital contributed. Co-investment by the management 16.18 teams of investments On the acquisition of certain investments, Eurazeo agreed to share its investment profits and risks with the management of each entity acquired. The executives concerned are accordingly invited to invest large sums relative to their personal assets, alongside Eurazeo. The financial instruments concerned are subscribed at fair value as determined by conventional models, appropriate for the instruments concerned. Gains from each investment are contingent on Eurazeo achieving a certain return on its own investment. They are therefore high-risk investments for the executives concerned since the sums invested by them can be partially or entirely lost if that return is not attained. Eurazeo’s obligation, on the other hand, is generally limited to retroceding a portion of any capital gains on the shares concerned (above and beyond the minimum return originally set) when they are sold or in the event of an IPO.
