Subsequent to that notification, the subsidiary has provided the necessary documentation to the TaxAuthorities to support its position. Notwithstanding the information provided, on 22 April 2013, the subsidiaryhas received a tax assessment relating only to the tax year 2008 and on the same matter which the TaxAuthorities has challenged and reported in their preliminary notification. Although no assessments have beenraised in respect of the other tax years (2009 to 2011) inspected, the matters reported in the preliminary taxnotification should be considered as still open to assessments.Notwithstanding the above assessment, management of the Group, also with the support of the subsidiary’sindependent tax advisor, believes that the subsidiary has strong grounds to defend its tax position.26.
