The agreement for the partial novation of the integration agreement entered into by the Company
for the merger with Gestora de Medios Audiovisuales La Sexta, S.A. on 19 February 2014 (see
Note 12.3), included the assumption of a contingency of the former shareholders of La Sexta
corresponding to the tax assessments relating to the levy on games of luck, betting or chance,
raffles and tombolas. The assumption of this contingency gave rise to the recognition of the
related provision of EUR 6,903 thousand in the Company's financial statements. In the first half of
2015, this provision was reversed as a final judgment was handed down in relation to the
proceeding. The accounting entry and the reversal of the provision did not have any impact on the
Company's statement of profit or loss.
At 31 December 2015 and 2014, 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.
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.
