OPERATIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

In the ordinary course of its business, Groupe ADP is involved in a certain number of judicial and arbitral proceedings. The Group is also subject to certain claims and lawsuits which fall outside the scope of the ordinary course of its business. The amount of provisions made is based on Groupe ADP’s assessment of the level of risk on a case-by-case basis and depends on its assessment of the basis for the claims, the stage of the proceedings and the arguments in its defense, it being specified that the occurrence of events during proceedings may lead to a reappraisal of the risk at any moment. Main litigations and arbitration proceedings presented below are accounted as liability or depending on the case constitute contingent liabilities or assets. ◆ On 13 July 2013, the Company JSC Investissements initiated an action for compensation before the Paris Commercial Court following the decision of Aéroports de Paris SA not to grant an authorization of temporary occupation of public property concerning the construction and operation of a centre for shopping and services on Paris-Charles

de Gaulle Airport site. To date, discussion focused primarily on the determination of the competent jurisdiction. By decision of 4 July 2016, the Conflict Court appointed the administrative judge as sole competent to hear the dispute. By decision of 19 January 2017, the Administrative Court of Paris dismisses JSC Investissements of all its claims. The dispute is still under instruction at the Administrative Court of Appeal. At this stage, the Group does not expect a negative outcome of this litigation. ◆ The construction company Bechtel is subject to a claim for damage from its customer NDIA as part of the construction project of the new airport at Doha in Qatar. ADP Ingénierie as subcontractor of Bechtel in this project is being challenged by Bechtel for services performed under that contract. Bechtel has submitted to ADP Ingénierie a request to reach an amicable settlement. In view of results of risk analysis that continues at ADP Ingénierie, the Group does not expect that the conclusion of this claim will have an adverse effect on its financial statements.
