Eurazeo follows IPEV recommendations to determine the fair value of its investments. The fair value of the Trader Interactive, Iberchem and WorldStrides investments, as determined by Eurazeo, were reviewed by Duff & Phelps Ltd, an independent appraisal firm, for appraisal assistance as of December 31, 2018. This assistance covered the various limited scope procedures that Eurazeo identified and asked Duff & Phelps Ltd to perform. Duff & Phelps Ltd referred to the IPEV guidelines and took them into account by reviewing the fair value of investments as determined by Eurazeo. In connection with and following these limited scope procedures, Duff& Phelps Ltd concluded that the fair value of these investments, as determined by Eurazeo, was reasonable. Limited scope procedures constitute neither an audit, review, compilation or any other form of analysis or attestation in connection with generally accepted accounting standards. In addition, limited scope procedures were not carried out in preparation of or in connection with any investment performed or considered by Eurazeo. Hence, any party contemplating an investment in these portfolio companies or a direct investment in Eurazeo should not consider that the implementation of these limited scope procedures by Duff & Phelps Ltd is sufficient to carry out the aforementioned investments. The results of the Duff & Phelps Ltd analysis should not be considered as a fairness opinion on a transaction or a credit reference letter. The limited scope procedures carried out by Duff & Phelps Ltd supplement the procedures that Eurazeo is required to implement to estimate the fair value of the investments. The result of the analyses conducted by Duff & Phelps Ltd was taken into account by Eurazeo in its fair value measurement of the investments. 5 Listed investments comprise investments in listed companies in which Eurazeo exercises control or significant influence. This is not the case for other listed securities. 6 Cash and cash equivalents net of other assets and operating liabilities of Eurazeo, at their net carrying amount.
