On 6 October 2017, the supreme court in France judged the 3% tax paid by French companies on dividend distributions to be contrary to the French
constitution. The decision of the supreme court gave rise to a return of the tax paid, together with the payment of interest. The Group has claimed a
repayment of dividend tax it has paid, together with interest, of c. €8 million and this is disclosed as an adjustment related to prior periods. The timing
of the reimbursement is expected to be in 2018.
The French Parliament has passed legislation for a new additional corporate income tax to provide funds to meet the cost of these claims. The Group is out
of the scope of this new tax.
