Each goodwill item has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored by the Group. The goodwill on BIC CORPORATION is thus mainly allocated to cash-generating units linked to the distribution by BIC CORPORATION of stationery products and lighters. The goodwill on Cello Pens is allocated to the cash-generating units linked to the production and distribution of stationery products by Cello. The remaining goodwill on BIC Violex is allocated to the cash-generating unit linked to shavers developed and/or produced

by BIC Violex and sold all over the world. This cash-generating unit also includes the portion of BIC CORPORATION goodwill allocated to shavers. The goodwill on the Kenya subsidiary is allocated to the cash-generating unit linked to the production and distribution of stationery products by BIC East Africa. The goodwill on the Nigeria subsidiary is allocated to the cash-generating unit linked to the production and distribution of stationery products by Lucky Stationary Limited. The goodwill on Djeep is allocated to the cash-generating unit linked to the production and distribution of lighters by Djeep.
