5 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Parent-company financial statements

2.5 POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The obligations of Compagnie des Alpes with respect to post- employment benefits are measured and recognised off-balance sheet. The calculation method complies with the Company’s collective arrangements that came into force on 1 July 2009. The obligation is calculated on the basis of current salaries (fixed salary and bonuses), including benefits to be paid when employees retire, and

taking into account seniority at retirement date. The assumption of voluntary retirement at the age of 62 was taken as the most probable. The benefits reflect a number of coefficients and assumptions (anticipated life expectancy, changes in the benefit calculation basis, inflation, etc.). The discount rate is based on the performance of the 10-year iBOXX and amounts to 0.6% per annum for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2020 (0.50% at 30 September 2019).

30 September 2020 (compared to a negative translation adjustment of €455 thousand at 30 September 2019), was fully impaired to take into account the financial situation of the subsidiary and its outlook. In the context of the health crisis that sharply reduced corporate values net of debt (based on medium-term business plans), significant impairments were recorded during the year. Impairment of securities amounted to €108.24 million at 30 September 2020 after taking into account increases of €63.3 million for the fiscal year, which can mainly be analysed as follows: l impairment of Belpark shares for an amount of €12 million; l impairment of securities of HHH for an amount of €27.5 million; l impairment of Travelfactory shares for an amount of €11.9 million. l impairment of securities of By Grévin for an amount of €3.0 million;

The increase in equity investments results from the acquisition of 10.9% of the shares of Travelfactory for €1.54 million bringing the stake to 84.18% (in accordance with commitments to purchase and sell shares) and an earn-out payment of €0.4 million for the acquisition of Familypark. Compagnie des Alpes also carried out a capital increase for some of its subsidiaries:

l CDA Production for an amount of €0.7 million; l Chaplin’s By Grévin for an amount of €3.0 million.
