TOTAL DEDICATED ASSETS AFTER HEDGING (3) 25,677 In 2017, EDF’s investment of 50.1% of CTE (formerly C25), the Company that holds 100% of the shares in RTE. In 2016, 75.93% of EDF’s investment in CTE (1) (see note 2.4). The receivable consisting of accumulated shortfalls in compensation at 31 December 2015, less the portion assigned on 22 December 2016 and reimbursements (2) received in 2017, in line with the repayment schedule. The realisable value of the CSPE receivable is estimated based on market rates. Limiting the value of certain investments in compliance with Article 16 of Decree 2007-243 concerning calculation of the regulatory realisable value of dedicated (3) assets has no effect at 31 December 2017. By limiting the value of certain investments in compliance with Article 16 of Decree 2007-243 concerning calculation of the amount of the regulatory realisable value of dedicated assets, the regulatory realisable value was reduced to €24,312 million at 31 December 2016. 25,887 28,115 23,277
Net book value and fair value include unmatured accrued interest.
On 31 March 2017, EDF finalised the sale of a 49.9% stake in CTE, the Company which has held 100% of the shares of RTE since December 2016. Since completion, EDF’s entire investment in CTE, i.e. 50.1%, has been allocated to dedicated assets (see note 2.4). For the unlisted asset portfolio, EDF Invest continued over 2017 to build up a portfolio of infrastructures, real estate property and investment funds. On 26 July 2017 EDF Invest completed the acquisition by the consortium consisting of Allianz (60%), EDF Invest (20%) and the investment fund DIF (20%), of 6.94% of the capital of Autostrade per l’Italia, one of Europe’s largest motorway concession operators. In June and September 2017, EDF Invest, together with Beni Stabili, the Italian subsidiary of Foncière des Régions, and Predica, acquired a non-controlling interest in Central Sicaf, which manages a portfolio of offices and technical premises that are all leased to Telecom Italia and were previously owned 100% by Beni Stabili. In October 2017, EDF Invest, together with KKR Infrastructure, finalised the acquisition of a minority interest in the Dutch carpark operator Q-Park NV, one of Europe’s largest carpark operators. In December 2017, EDF Invest acquired 50% of the Ecowest real estate development in Levallois-Perret, which is leased principally to L’Oreal’s Luxury Division.

Changes in dedicated assets in 2017 38.2.4 At 31 December 2017, the degree of coverage of provisions by dedicated assets was 108.5% applying the regulatory calculations. The regulatory limit on the realisable value of certain investments (decree 2007-243) has no effect at 31 December 2017. At 31 December 2016, provisions were 99.8% covered by dedicated assets applying the regulatory calculations. Without application of the regulatory limits set by Decree 2007-243, the provision coverage rate was 105.4%. Withdrawals from dedicated assets totalled €378 million, equivalent to the payments made in respect of the long-term nuclear obligations to be covered in 2017 (€377 million in 2016). The regulatory allocation to dedicated assets (required by Article 2-IV of decree 2007-243, amended) for 2016, amounting to €1,095 million, was made during the first half of 2017 in compliance with the ministerial letter of 10 February 2017 (no allocations were made in 2016). The regulatory allocation to dedicated assets for 2017 amounts to €386 million and will be made during 2018. 2017 was a remarkable year for the equity markets, which were boosted by simultaneous worldwide economic growth and monetary policies that remained generous, and the financial portfolio achieved excellent results, outperforming its strategic benchmark index. This good performance was primarily driven by prudent positioning in terms of sensitivity and exposure to government bonds in core Euro zone countries, as long rates on government bonds rose slightly. The credit portfolio also outperformed its benchmark, particularly thanks to subordinated bank notes. The very slight overexposure on equities maintained over the year was beneficial, and so were the active management approaches selected.
