possible future performances which might be disbursed in favour of each employee registered in the
programme in the case of retirement, decease, disability, resignation, etc. were projected. The estimate
of future benefits includes any foreseeable increases relating to a further length of service, and to the
presumable growth of the remuneration received as of the date of estimation, only for the employees of
companies with less than 50 employees;
the current average value of future performances was calculated at the date of estimate, on the basis
of the adopted annual interest rate, and of the probability of each performance to be really disbursed;
the liability was established for each company concerned, to an extent equating to the average current
value of the future benefits which will be generated by the provision existing as of the valuation date,
without considering any future provision (for companies with at least 50 employees) or identifying the
portion of the current average value of the future benefits which refer to the service already accrued by
the employee as of the value date (for the other companies).
