The charge for the year is reflected under "Outside Services" and the excessive provisions are
recognised under "Excessive Provisions” in the accompanying income statement.
At 31 December 2014 and 2013, certain civil, labour, criminal and administrative lawsuits had
been filed against the Company which were taken into account in estimating potential
contingent liabilities. Noteworthy, in view of their amount, were the lawsuits with certain
collection societies.
As mentioned in Note 1, on 18 December 2013 the Supreme Court issued a writ of execution
enforcing the aforementioned judgment, rendering void the resolution of the Spanish Cabinet
regarding the allocation of channels. The Company does not consider it necessary to recognise
a provision in this connection.
The directors of the Company and its legal advisers do not expect any material liabilities
additional to those already recognised to arise from the outcome of the lawsuits in progress.
