Financial Statements
2013
118
A tax audit is underway at Ubisoft Divertissements for the period April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2013,
following the challenging by Canadian authorities (Investissement Québec) of CTMM (Canadian credit
multimedia shares) for a significant amount in profitability bonuses paid to employees of the company.
Based on advice of counsel to the Company, no provision has been booked.

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 1.6.5.3 Consolidation principles - Employee benefits.
A 50-point change in the discount rate would result in a rise of 16.1% in the amount of the benefit
liability.

The impact of these share-based payments on reserves corresponds to all equity instruments issued
by Ubisoft as of March 31, 2013 and can be seen in the statement of changes in equity presented in
§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. IFRS 2 has been applied to instruments
granted after November 7, 2002 that were not vested as of December 31, 2004 (only the 7
th
plan has
not been retreated regarding IFRS 2).
