8.1 - Contingencies
Management is confi dent that overall the balance sheet provisions
for disputes of which it is currently aware and in which the Company
is involved should be suffi cient to ensure that these disputes do
not have a material impact on its fi nancial position or income. This
is particularly true of the provisions set aside to cover the potential
consequences of a current dispute in Belgium involving former senior
executives and managers of the Company.
In February2010, the Company reversed a EUR1million contingency
provision funded in 2002 with respect to a non-trading real-estate
company.
8.2 - Pension accruals
The Company has various obligations towards its current and retired
senior executives and managers. Following an actuarial valuation
carried out in 2010, the provision for these obligations was increased
to EUR32million.
The Company applied the corridor method to the actuarial gains
and losses arising from this valuation (see “accounting principles”).
At December31, 2010, cumulative actuarial gains and losses totaled
EUR5million. From 2010, a total of EUR1.3million, exceeding 10%
of the obligation, is being amortised over 10years.
