Death rate assumptions are based on published statistics and tables.
The definition of and principles for measurement and recognition of these benefit liabilities are
presented in section 1.6.5.3 Consolidation principles Employee benefits.
An increase of 50 basis points in the discount rate would result in a fall of 10.5% in the amount of the
benefit liability.
A decrease of 50 basis points in the discount rate would result in a rise of 12% in the amount of the
benefit liability.

The impact of these stock-based-compensation payments on reserves corresponds to all equity
instruments issued by Ubisoft as at March 31, 2014, and are shown in the statement of changes in
equity presented in section 1.4.
Stock options
The fair value of share subscription or purchase options, subject to satisfaction of presence and
performance requirements for corporate officers and a presence requirement for employee
beneficiaries, is estimated and fixed at the grant date. The expense is recognized over a four-year
vesting period, but is not straight-line given the vesting terms.
