Consolidated financial statements

Moreover, under the di ff erent contracts signed by the Group, CDA subsidiaries may enter into agreements on investment budgets. Such agreements are variable and can be reviewed, mainly with regard to their term, amount and nature, depending on the contract and implementation opportunities. In light of certain lease contracts signed by the Leisure parks, these investment budget agreements may concern all of the Group’s subsidiaries. Real estate development concessions l ADS has concessions for real estate development granted by the municipality of Bourg-Saint-Maurice; l through its 99.9%-owned subsidiary, SCIVABEL, SEVABEL also holds the development concession for the Reberty urban development zone (ZAC de Reberty) at Les Ménuires; l GMDS, with its 99.99%-owned subsidiary Société d’Aménagement Arve-Gi ff re (SAG), also owns land in Flaine in the Grand Massif.

Leisure park concessions l Concession for the highway interchange giving access to Parc Astérix Parc Astérix has a private interchange on the A1 motorway, which provides direct access to the park: this concession was granted by SANEF, the company operating the A1 motorway, for a period of 99 years (from 1987 to 2086). The right to operate this concession is accounted for as an intangible asset of Grévin & Cie (see Note 6.2), which pays a fee to SANEF for the passage of each vehicle through the toll plaza. This fee corresponds to the highway toll that is not paid when vehicles use the Parc Astérix interchange. l Licensing agreement with Editions Albert-René (publisher of the Astérix comic books) In 1986, a licensing agreement was concluded with Editions Albert- René for the legal duration of the copyright, which is 70 years after the death of the last surviving author. This agreement guarantees Grévin & Cie the right to use the comic strip characters and world in its theme parks, in France and abroad. An amendment signed in March 1996 set the licensing fee at 3% of sales excluding VAT of Parc Astérix, with a minimum fee of €1.7 million. l Futuroscope lease To enable the operator to make signi fi cant long-term investments, the Department of Vienne has decided to create a procedure for awarding an administrative long-term lease for a larger area to replace the current lease, which expires in 2026.
