2 CEO MESSAGE

"As expected, the new austerity measures implemented in Portugal and Spain during the current year determined a further retraction of private consumption in Iberia. In our most significant markets outside Iberia, retail sales grew at a smaller pace in Brazil and were broadly flat in Germany and Italy. Despite the dominant weight of Iberia in our portfolio, we are pleased with the operating and financial performance delivered by our businesses in the 1Q13, which translated into a positive top line performance, a significant growth in terms of EBIT generation and a further reduction of leverage, made possible by the strong organic cash flow generation. Evolution of food retail sales in Portugal was helped by the full impact of Easter falling into the 1st quarter in 2013.

Sonae MC reinforced its position in the market by focusing on the delivery of the best value proposal to consumers in Portugal. The strong promotional efforts led to a sales performance above market average, which, together with the benefits of the productivity and efficiency programs recently implemented, has allowed us to transfer more value to customers and grow operational profitability. Exposure to more discretionary categories determined a further reduction in sales density at Sonae SR. However, cost saving efforts, the growth in the franchising area, the optimization of its store portfolio and, particularly, the benefits of the restructuring of the Sports and Fashion divisions carried out in 2012, are already translating into a lower level of EBITDA losses.

Sonae Sierra has been facing a continued drop of private consumption in southern Europe, which is, as expected, progressively impacting on its rental revenues in these markets. The exposure to Brazil and growing services business is significantly compensating these effects. Sierra's direct contribution to the consolidated results of Sonae has been reduced by 2 M€ against last year essentially as a result of the reduction of portfolio, as sales of assets outweighed openings in the period under comparison.

At Sonaecom, fundamental steps were taken during this quarter in the process to merge Optimus and Zon, including the approval by an overwhelming majority of shareholders. The only remaining condition to finally conclude the merger is now the non-opposition from the local Competition Authority. Despite the constraints imposed by the macro environment and by the on-going merger process, the business activity remained in line with our best expectations, with a strong performance from both SSI and Optimus.

Our consolidated net income was up against the 1Q12, with the impacts resulting from higher cost of debt and higher taxes being more than compensated by the strong growth in the recurrent EBITDA."

Paulo Azevedo, CEO Sonae

  • During 1Q13, as expected, the additional austerity measures implemented in Portugal and Spain restricted private consumption levels. In case of Portugal, it is estimated that private consumption has fallen by 3.9%1 during 1Q13, despite having declined at a slower pace when compared to the same period of last year (-6.0%1 in 1Q12). In this adverse context, consolidated turnover has grown to 1,249 M€, supported mainly by further market share gains, particularly evident in the food retail business and Worten in Portugal.
  • Recurring EBITDA margin improved to 10.0% in the 1Q13, 0.8 p.p. above the same period of the previous year, despite the decline in consumption levels, which, again, impacted particularly the non-food retail formats, both in the Portuguese and Spanish markets. This positive EBITDA performance was achieved mainly through efficiency improvements in the food retail and telecommunications businesses.
  • In the 1Q13, direct results amounted to 18 M€, 6 M€ above the figure registered in the same period of the previous year, with the lower contribution from Sonae Sierra's direct results (-2 M€ y.o.y.) and higher financial costs (+1 M€), being more than offset by the strong EBITDA improvement (+11 M€ vs. the 1Q12). Driven by these evolutions, net income group share increased to 9 M€ in this period.
  • During 1Q13, consolidated Capex for the group amounted to 57M€ (13 M€ above the 1Q12) and was essentially allocated to the remodelling and maintenance of retail assets in Iberia. The lower investments made by Sonaecom in the period, due to the aggressive 4G deployment plan carried out in last year, was more than compensated by the 7 M€ higher Capex at Sonae MC driven by the refurbishment of a number of stores and the investments made in the new online platform, which is expected to be launched during the 2Q13.
  • On 31st March 2013, total net debt totalled 2,087 M€, 209 M€ below the same period in 2012, driven by a sustainable cash flow generation in the last 12 months. The company thus continued to strengthen its capital structure, with total debt decreasing sustainably and representing, at the end of 1Q13, 57% of invested capital (vs. 58% in the same period of 2012).

(1) Sonae SR turnover in 2012 was restated, in order to include internal revenues (mostly related to Sonae SR's Fashion division)of the wholesale to Sonae MC.

During 1Q13, Sonae registered a consolidated turnover of 1,249 M€, 1% above the previous year. The most significant contributions for this evolution were the following:

  • Sonae MC 1Q13 turnover totalled 774 M€, 4%, above 1Q12. The growth registered incorporates an evolution of circa +2.6% in sales on a "like-for-like" basis, an evolution clearly above market performance. This growth was partly due to a positive calendar effect and was mainly driven by higher volumes sold in the period, as the market inflation2 was significantly compensated by the effects of the trading down carried out by consumers and by the increased promotional activity. During the 1Q13, Sonae MC is estimated to have continued strengthening its leading market share in the Portuguese food retail sector3 . The weight of Continente's private label portfolio remained relatively stable, reaching a representativeness of more than 31% in the sales of FMCG categories during the 1Q13 (in line with the previous year).
  • Sonae SR with 264 M€ turnover (-6% or -8.8% on a "LfL" basis), again reflecting the negative evolution of sales witnessed in the Iberian markets during the last quarters. Sonae SR's sales in Portugal decreased by 3%, despite market share gains at Worten, while international sales were down by 14%, driven by the negative evolution experienced in the Spanish market. In the key consumer electronics segment. Worten continued to strengthen its leadership in the Portuguese market, with an estimated market share gain of 1.6 p.p.4 ). Sonae SR has further strengthened its international presence during the 1Q13, namely via new franchising agreements for its Zippy brand and the opening of stores in new geographies (Morocco and Lebanon). In this format, sales in franchised stores represented almost 20% of total store sales, compared to 12% during the 1Q12.
  • Sonaecom turnover totalled 194 M€, 4% below 1Q12. This reduction resulted from lower product sales (-15% y.o.y.) and from lower service revenues (-3%), determined both by the decrease in customer revenues and by the lower level of regulated tariffs (mobile termination rates and roaming). It is particularly worth noting the positive performance of Sonaecom's IT/IS division (SSI), with the respective service revenues up by 24% y.o.y. and registering in this quarter a record level since its launch.

Sonaecom 29,8% 31,7% 2,0 p.p
Investment management 4,2% 1,4% -2,8 p.p

In consolidated terms, Group Recurrent EBITDA totalled 125 M€, 9% above 1Q12, representing a profitability margin of 10.0%, an increase of 0.8 p.p.. In a difficult macroeconomic environment, this performance was supported by the productivity gains and operating efficiency improvements in the different business areas. In terms of performance per business, it is worth highlighting:

  • Sonae MC with 40 M€ (+22% or +7 M€), representing a profitability of 5.2% of the respective turnover (+0.8 p.p. compared to the 1Q12), a very positive result in the current environment of consumer retraction. This growth was made possible by the positive evolution of sales in the period, by a rigorous cost control and by further productivity gains, sustained by the successful implementation of internal efficiency programs over the course of the last few years. Sonae MC was also able to reinforce its competitiveness during this period via relevant promotional efforts, leveraged on its "Continente" loyalty card (which was involved in 91.7% of sales in the period).
  • Sonae SR contribution totalled -11 M€, an improvement of 1M€ against the same period last year. This slight improvement reflects the significant cost savings measures implemented and the efficiency gains obtained in all the formats, and was made possible despite an additional reduction in sales per square meter, as a result of the negative behaviour of retail revenues in the Iberian Peninsula. It is, nevertheless, worth noting that the market share gains obtained by the consumer electronics business in Portugal (Worten) has allowed for a stable EBITDA generation in this business, when compared to the same period in 2012.
  • Sonae RP with 27 M€, the same value reached in the previous year, which translates into a margin of 89.2% over sales, a clear evidence of the efficient management and continuous enhancement of the retail real estate assets in its portfolio (mainly comprised of 33 Continente stores and 96 Continente Modelo stores). Sonae currently maintains a freehold level of approximately 77% of its food retail selling area and 27% of its non-food retail space.
  • Sonaecom´s contribution totalled 62 M€ in 2012 (+2% or +2 M€), corresponding to a sales margin of 31.7% (up by 2 p.p. against 1Q12). Once again, both its telecoms and IT/IS business units registered positive growth in the respective EBITDA generation. It is particularly worth highlighting the growth of the already benchmark EBITDA margin obtained by the Optimus' mobile business (47.5%, 5.4 p.p. higher than in the 1Q12), a performance made possible by the implementation of a more optimised cost structure.

  • Sonae Sierra maintained, at the end of 1Q13, an overall occupancy rate in its portfolio of 95%, slightly below the 1Q12, despite the difficult context of a strong reduction in consumption levels in southern European countries. In the overall portfolio under management, tenant sales decreased by 10% driven mainly by the sale of Münster Arkaden (in Germany) and the stakes in Pátio Brasil, Penha Shopping and Tivoli Shopping (in Brazil), and also due to adverse trading conditions in Europe. "LfL" tenant sales declined by 3.6% in Europe, which was partially compensated by the growth attained in Brazil, 5.4% in local currency terms.
  • Turnover5 declined by 3%, to 55 M€ when compared with the 1Q12, due to the mentioned perimeter changes and to the impacts of the private consumption retraction in southern Europe, which was only partially compensated by the openings in 2012 – Le Terrazze, in Italy and Uberlândia, in Brazil.
  • EBITDA reduced to 29 M€ in 1Q13, 5% below the 1Q12, basically reflecting the sale of shopping centres completed during 2012. EBITDA margin was 52.6% in the period, 1.1 p.p. below the 1Q12.
  • Net result was 12 M€, of which the share attributable to Sonae was 6 M€, which represents a decrease of 4% compared to the 1Q12. The indirect result improved by 3 M€ in relation to the same period in 2012 since there were no write-offs in the period. It should be noted that Sonae Sierra has begun, from 1Q12 onwards, and in line with market practices, to revalue its portfolio only on a semiannual basis.
  • Regarding the value of its assets, on 31st March 2013 the company´s OMV (Open Market Value) was 2.279 bn€, 127 M€ above 2012 year-end, basically as a result of the development of the projects under construction ("Boulevard Londrina" and "Passeio das Águas Shopping" in Brazil and "Hofgarten Solingen" in Germany) and the acquisition of an additional stake in "Cascais Shopping". The "Loan-to-value" ratio remains at a conservative level and was kept at 43% at the end of March 2013. Sonae Sierra's Net Asset Value was 1,108 M€ at the end of 1Q13.

(1) The 2011 results were restated to reflect (i) the change in the consolidation method applicable to Sonae Sierra and Geostar, currently registered according to the Equity Method; and (ii) the change made by Sonaecom in the accounting criteria for costs related to customers' loyalty contracts. For further information please refer to the Methodological Notes in Section 11.

  • In 1Q13, consolidated EBITDA reached 125 M€, 11 M€ above the same quarter of the previous year. This result is totally explained by the improved operational performance of Sonae MC and Sonaecom, since during the 1Q13 there were no capital gains registered by Sonae RP, as no retail property sales were completed in the period.
  • In the same period, the expenses related to depreciations, amortizations and provisions stood at 91 M€, in line with the previous year.
  • Net financial expenses totalled 22 M€ in 1Q13, 1% above the figure registered in the 1Q12, with the lower amount of average debt being more than compensated by the increase in interest costs, solely explained by the increase in credit spreads, as average Euribor rates have actually been lower in 1Q13 than in the 1Q12. As a result, driven by the exposure to variable rates, the average interest rate of outstanding credit facilities at the end of 1Q13 has not deteriorated significantly when compared to March 2012 and stood at approximately 3%.
  • Earnings before taxes reached 20 M€, 68% above the 1Q12, with the much improved Recurrent EBITDA generation more than offsetting the higher net financial expenses and the 17% decline in the direct contribution from Sonae Sierra, as further detailed in Section 6 of this report.
  • Net income attributable to the Group was 9 M€, significantly above the 1Q12, mostly as a consequence of the improved EBT generation and despite the higher taxation.

(1) includes the value of partnerships accounted as financial investments

During the course of 1Q13, Sonae carried out a total investment of 57 M€, 13 M€ above the figure registered during the 1Q12. This increase is mostly justified by the opening and remodelling of Sonae MC stores, despite the lower degree of international expansion carried out by Sonae SR during the current quarter.

The investment carried out in 1Q13 was essentially distributed among the following projects:

  • Selective opening of new retail stores, including 1 Continente Bom Dia in Portugal (Cabeceiras de Basto) and 1 new Worten store in Spain (Madrid);
  • Consolidation of Sonae SR's store network in the international markets. At the end of 1Q13, Sonae SR's formats had a total of 148 stores outside of Portugal, including 24 under franchising agreements;
  • Programmed remodelling of a number of retail units so as to ensure they remain as a reference in their respective catchment areas, including the successful remodelling of the Continente stores in Cascais and Évora, under a completely new and innovative layout;
  • Following the investment effort made by Sonaecom over the last year with the aim of strengthening the coverage and capacity of the Optimus´ mobile network, its Capex is now closer to more regular levels. Following the strong 4G deployment in 2012, Optimus LTE network now covers more than 80% of the Portuguese population and presents the widest 150Mbps coverage.

The strong cash-flow generation of Sonae's business continues to be evidenced by the 69 M€ level of (recurrent EBITDA - Capex) registered in 1Q13, in line with the previous year.

On 31st March 2013, Sonae´s overall net invested capital was 3,684 M€, of which circa 62% is invested in the retail businesses, corresponding to Sonae RP an overall asset portfolio with a book value of 1,325 M€, mostly comprised of stores operated by Sonae MC and Sonae SR. It is important to note that the level of freehold of food retail stores stands currently at 77%, a value still well above the average of our European peers. Sonaecom´s contribution to the previously mentioned invested capital was 986 M€, 55 M€ above the same period last year, essentially as a result of the investments carried out in the development of its 4G network.

As at the end of 1Q13, Sonae´s net debt amounted to 2,087 M€, translating into a reduction of 209 M€ or 9.1%, over the course of the last 12 months, despite the impact resulting from the continuation of Sonae and Sonaecom's dividend policy. This evolution is all the more significant when considered over the last 3 years (a cumulative reduction of circa 348 M€), which is particularly remarkable when considering the investments in the international expansion of the retail formats carried out during this period, the strong investments made by Sonaecom in the 4G spectrum acquisition and network deployment, and the total dividends distributed.

In relation to the debt profile, it should be noted that the transactions completed during 2012 enabled Sonae to complete the refinancing program of its medium and longterm credit facilities maturing until the end of 2013, as well as to partially ensure the refinancing of debt maturities in 2014.

At the end of March 2013, consolidated net debt represented 57% of capital employed, which compares with 58% at the end of the 1Q12. In terms of allocation per business, the following is worth highlighting:

  • The retail units net debt totalled 1.076 M€, 173 M€ below 1Q12, as a result of the business' strong capacity to generate cash-flow and of the material improvements in stock levels (down by more than 100 M€ vs the end of the 1Q12). No sale & leaseback of retail real estate assets were completed in the last 12 months. The reduction in net debt and the stable recurrent EBITDA generation, with the food retail business off-setting the lower contribution from the non-food formats, allowed for a significant improvement of the Net Debt to recurrent EBITDA ratio from 3.7x at the end of the 1Q12 to 3.2x at the end of 1Q13;
  • Sonaecom´s net debt decreased by 24 M€ to 367 M€, exclusively due to the strong EBITDA generation and despite the strong investments carried out between the 2 periods. Consequently, the Net Debt to EBITDA ratio decreased from 1.6x to 1.5x at the end of 1Q13;
  • The holding net debt increased circa 14 M€, to 617 M€, at end of March 2013, mainly driven by the impact of the dividend payment made in 2012 (circa 66 M€). The "loan-to-value" ratio of the holding remains at conservative levels and registered a slight improvement from 19% at 1Q12 to 17% in March 2013.

10 CORPORATE INFORMATION

1Q13 main corporate events

On February 15th Sonae and France Telecom ("FT-Orange") executed an agreement whereby, respectively, a call and put option was granted over the 20% stake in Sonaecom's share capital presently held by a subsidiary of FT-Orange. Sonae's call option may be exercised during an 18-month period and FT-Orange's put option within the subsequent 3-month period. The price for the exercise of both options is of 98.9 M€, which may be increased up to 113.5 M€ in case Sonaecom or Optimus participate in any consolidation process within a 24-month period.

On March 7th, the Extraordinary Shareholder Meetings of Optimus SGPS and Zon approved the merger project by incorporation between the 2 companies, under the terms that had been approved by the respective Boards on January 21st. The implementation of the merger is now conditional only upon the prior fulfilment of the following conditions: (i) the non-opposition from the Competition Authority; and (ii) the fulfilment of the remaining administrative and corporate formalities applicable or necessary to the completion of the merger.

On March 21st, Sonae SR signed an agreement with the S. H. Al Mana Group (one of the largest conglomerates in Qatar) for the development of the Zippy brand in Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Qatar. This partnership will enable the reinforcement of Sonae's specialised retail unit presence in the Middle East, via the opening of 10 Zippy franchised stores during the next 3 years. The first store is scheduled to open already during 2013.

On March 26th, Sonae Sierra, through a majority-owned subsidiary, reached an agreement with a fund managed by Rockspring Property Investment Managers, for the acquisition of its 50% stake in "Cascais Shopping", a leading shopping centre located in Cascais, Portugal.

Subsequent information

11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Methodological notes

The consolidated financial information contained in this report was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union. The financial information regarding quarterly and semiannual figures was not subject to audit procedures.

The accounting standard IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements changes the accounting method of joint-controlled investments, namely eliminating the possibility of proportional consolidation of entities that fall under the concept of joint-ventures, as is the case of Sonae Sierra and Geostar. Under these terms, Sonae has decided, as it is already possible under the current standards, in anticipation of the requirement for this change to be implemented for annual reporting periods beginning on 1st January 2014 and in order to facilitate a future comparison of its financial reporting, to start reporting Sonae Sierra and Geostar according to the Equity Method (the only possible method according to this new standard) from 1st January 2012.

During the 1Q12, in line with best practices in the telecoms sector, Sonaecom changed its accounting criteria for costs related to customers' loyalty contracts. Until then, these costs were recorded as an expense in the year they occurred. From 1 January 2012, the costs incurred from customers' loyalty contracts are capitalised and amortised over the period of their respective contracts, as it was possible to apply reliable cost allocation to the respective contracts, thus fulfilling the criteria for capitalisation required under IAS 38.

Accordingly, the 2011 results of Sonae were restated to reflect these accounting changes.

Although in accordance with the deadlines contractually established, the Escrow Account should have already been released by the buyer, that didn't happen as there are some points of disagreement on the use of the Escrow Account, namely as whether or not, to retain the Escrow Account for on-going fiscal procedures that have not yet been decided. It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, based on legal opinions of Brazilian and Portuguese lawyers that the reason attends to Sonae Investimentos.

Under the agreed terms resulting from the grant of the UMTS License, Optimus – Comunicações, S.A., committed to contribute to the promotion and development of an 'Information Society' in Portugal. The total amount of the obligations assumed arose to 274 million euro which will have to be realised until the end of 2015.

In accordance with the Agreement established on 5 June 2007 with the Ministry of Public Works, Transportation and Communications (MOPTC), part of these commitments, up to 159 million euro, would be realised through own projects eligible as contributions to the 'Information Society' which will be incurred under the normal course of Optimus – Comunicações, S.A.'s business (investments in network and technology, if not directly related with the accomplishment of other obligations inherent to the attibution of the UMTS License, and activities of research, development and promotion of services, contents and applications). These own projects must be recognised by the MOPTC and by entities created specifically for this purpose. At 31 March 2013, the total amount was already incurred and validated by the above referred entities, so, at this date, there are no additional responsibilities related to these commitments. These charges were recorded in the attached financial statements at the moment the projects were carried out and the estimated costs became known.

The remaining commitments, up to 116 million euro, has been realised, as agreed between Optimus – Comunicações S.A. and MOPTC, through contributions to the "Iniciativas E" project (modem offers, discounts on tariffs, cash contributions, among others, assigned to the widespread use of broadband internet for students and teachers). These contributions are made through the "Fund for the Information Society", now known as the "Fundação para as Comunicações Móveis" (Foundation for Mobile Communications), established by the three mobile operators with businesses in Portugal. All responsibility is recognised as an additional cost of UMTS license, against an entry in the captions "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other current liabilities". Thus, at 31 March 2013, all the responsibilities with such commitments are fully recorded in the attached consolidated financial statements.

Intangible assets as at 31 March 2013, include an amount of approximately 110 million euro, corresponding to the current value of future payments related with the acquisition of rights of use for frequency (spectrum) bands of 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz, which will be used to develop 4th generation services (LTE - Long Term Evolution). The payable amount totals 113 million euro. In January 2012 an amount of 83 million euro and in January 2013 an amount of 6 million euro were already paid. The remaining amount can be paid in four annual instalments of 6 million euro, having the company, at each annual payment, the option to anticipate the payment of the amount in debt. During the year ended 31 December 2012, considering the availability of LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology (although subject to restrictions in some areas of the country) and the subsequent launching the commercial operation, a fraction of the present value of future payments related to the acquisition of rights of use for 4th generation frequencies services was transferred from work in progress (92.9 million euro) and the amortization was started, for an estimated period until 2041.

At 31 March 2013 and 2012, the Group kept recorded under the heading 'Intangible assets – brands and contents' the amounts of 168,723,687 euro and 177,899,536 euro, respectively, that correspond to the investments net of depreciations made in the development of the UMTS network, including: (i) 53,255,114 euro (2012: 56,255,402 euro) related to the license; (ii) 17,794,486 euro (2012: 18,796,992 euro) related to the agreement signed in 2002 between Oni Way and the other three mobile telecommunication operators with activity in Portugal; (iii) 5,465,224 euro (2012: 5,773,124 euro) related to a contribution to the 'Fundação para as Comunicações Móveis', established in 2007, under an agreement entered with 'MOPCT' and the three mobile telecommunication operators in Portugal; and (iv) 87,658,716 euro (2012: 92,267,526 euro) related with the programme 'Initiatives E', these last two associated to the commitments assumed by the Group in relation to the 'Information Society'.

The caption 'Brands and patents and other rights' includes also an amount of about 12.2 million euro (2012: 17.5 million euro) that corresponds to the costs incurred for customers' loyalty contracts, from the subsidiary Optimus.

Additionally, this heading also includes the fair value attributed to a group of brands with indefinite useful lives, among which the "Continente" brand, 75,000,000 euro (the same amount as at 2012).

As a result of the agreements signed in 2005 by the former subsidiary - Sonae Distribuição Brazil, SA (sold to Wal-Mart in 2005) with Carrefour Comércio e Indústria Ltda, Sonae assumed responsibility to compensate Carrefour for the expenses that would arise from the 10 stores licensing process, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, that were sold to that entity. During 2010, Carrefour triggered a bank warranty "on first demand" amounting to 25,340,145.80 Brazilian real (approximately 10 million euro) for alleged expenses incurred with the mentioned stores and that, allegedly, arose from the need to remedy deficiencies cited by competent authorities for the licensing process. However no evidence of those expenses were presented to Sonae, or proof of the necessity of carrying out such costs for the licensing process as established on the mentioned agreements.

It is the understanding of the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys that the amount paid will be recovered. The company already established legal proceedings against Carrefour Comércio e Indústria, Ltda. to recover the above mentioned amount. It's the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys understanding that the above mentioned amount is recoverable, since Carrefour has never proved the existence of the costs that it claims and which validate the usage of the above mentioned warranty, or through the warranty expiration date (according with Brazilian law).

According to Group attorneys, the amount improperly received by Carrefour for which a reimbursement will be requested (25,340,145.80 Brazilian real), will earn interests at the SELIC rate, and it is expected that the legal process will last up to 7 years.

15 SHARE CAPITAL

As at 31 March 2013, the share capital, which is fully subscribed and paid for, is made up of 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, which do not have the right to a fixed dividend, with a nominal value of 1 euro each.

On 15 November 2007, Sonae Holding sold, 132,856,072 Sonae Holding shares directly owned by the Company. The shares were sold in a market operation at the unit price of 2.06 euro per share and resulted on a cash inflow (net of brokerage commissions) of 273,398,877 euro.

On the same date, Sonae Investments, BV, wholly owned by Sonae Holding entered into a derivative financial instrument - Cash Settled Equity Swap - over a total of 132,800,000 Sonae Holding shares, representative of 6.64% of its share capital.

This transaction has a maximum maturity of three years and a strictly financial liquidation, without any duty or right for the Company or any of its associated companies in the purchase of these shares. This transaction allows Sonae Investments BV to totally maintain the economic exposure to the sold shares.

In this context, although legally all the rights and obligations inherent to these shares have been transferred to the buyer, Sonae Holding did not derecognize their own shares, recording a liability in the caption "Other current liabilities" (Note 21). According to the interpretation made by Sonae of the IAS 39, applied by analogy to own equity instruments, the derecognition of own shares is not allowed as Sonae maintains the risks and rewards arising on the instruments sold.

Consequently, Sonae maintains the deduction from Equity amounting to the acquisition cost of the 132,800,000 shares (138,568,275 euro), and has accounted for the consideration received for the above mentioned sale of own shares in the caption "Other non-current liabilities" (273,568,000 euro).

Due to the detach of Sonae Capital SGPS, SA, as at 4 January 2008, demerger rights attributable to the 132,800,000 Sonae SGPS, SA shares subject to the above mentioned agreement, Sonae recognized an asset measured at its' fair value . This asset has not been derecognized as Sonae also entered into a Cash Settled Equity Swap over the Sonae Capital SGPS, SA shares, and therefore a liability was recognized.

In the period from 2009 to 2013 Sonae Investments BV requested a partial cancellation of the Cash Settled Equity Swap for 9,911,419 Sonae Holding shares. Thereafter, the derivative financial instrument focused on 122,888,581 Sonae Holding shares.

On 19 October 2010 Sonae Investments BV has agreed with a financial institution to extend the maturity of the Cash Settled Equity Swap over the 130,479,891 Sonae Holding´s shares. The renovation is done for a maximum of 3 additional years, until November 2013 and maintains the settlement mechanism of the transaction that remains strictly cash settled. The Cash Settled Equity Swap, over shares of Sonae Capital, was not subject to extension of maturity, and Sonae acquired 16,600,000 shares in the market representing 6.6% of the capital of Sonae Capital, in result of fair value. During the year ended 31 December 2012 Sonae Capital shares were disposed.

Considering the operations mentioned above, as at 31 March 2013 the amount of the liability recorded amounts to 86,022,007 euro (84,664,905 euro as at 31 December 2012) reflecting the market value of Sonae Holding shares (Note 21).

These liabilities are adjusted at the end of each month by the effect in Sonae Holding share price, being recognized an asset/liability in order to present the right/obligation related to the cash settlement of the operation that resets monthly.

Additionally, the costs related to the "floating amount" based on Euribor 1 month are recorded in the income statement.

The value to get established on the basis of dividends distributed by Sonae is credited in equity to offset the charge of the distribution.

The number of shares taken into consideration to calculate earnings per share includes the shares referred to above as a deduction to the shares issued by the Company (Note 26).

At 31 March 2013, the following entities held more than 20% of the subscribed share capital:

18 DERIVATIVES

Exchange rate derivatives

Sonae uses exchange rate derivatives, essentially to hedge future cash flows.

Sonae entered into several exchange rate forwards and options in order to manage its exchange rate exposure.

As at 31 March 2013, there are no exchange rate derivatives which haven´t been considered heading instruments. The fair value of exchange rate derivatives hedging instruments, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments of exchange rate, is 36,953 euro as liabilities and assets as 1,389,646 euro (953,531 euro as liabilities and 30,341 euro as assets as at 31 December 2012).

The computation of the fair value of these financial instruments was made taking into consideration the present value at statement of financial position date of the forward settlement amount in the maturity date of the contract. The settlement amount considered in the valuation, is equal to the currency notional amount (foreign currency) multiplied by the difference between the contracted forward exchange rate and the forward exchange market rate at that date as at the valuation date.

Gains and losses in the period arising from changes in the fair value of instruments that do not qualify for hedging accounting treatment were recorded directly in the income statement in the captions "Financial income" or "Financial expense".

Gains and losses for the year associated with the change in market value of derivative instruments is recorded under the caption "Hedging reserve" when considered cash flow hedging and when considered as fair value hedging are recorded under the caption" Other Operating Costs".

Interest rate derivatives

As at 31 March 2013, derivatives used by Sonae refer essentially to swaps and interest rate options ("cash flow hedges"). These were negotiated to hedge the interest rate risk of loans amounting to 150,000,000 euro (250,000,000 euro as at 31 December 2012). The net fair value of these derivatives amounts to -6,886,544 euro (-8,668,182 euro as at 31 December 2012), and was recorded as liabilities.

The derivatives were valuated considering the estimated future cash-flows, assuming that the cancellation options by the counterparties would be exercised when the forward interest rates are higher than the established fixed interest rate. Sonae intends to keep these derivatives until their maturity date, therefore, this valuation is considered to be the most appropriate to estimate the future cash flow of these instruments.

These interest rate derivatives are valued at fair value, at the statement of financial position date, based on valuations performed by Sonae using specific software and on external valuations when this software does not deal with specific instruments. The fair value of swaps was computed, as at the statement of financial position date, based on the discounted cash flow of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the fixed leg and the indexed variable interest rate inherent to the variable leg. The calculation of the fair value or options was based on the "Black-Scholes" and similar models. The estimation of future cash flows is made on the basis of quotations forward market curve are implicit in, and the respective discount to the present, is accomplished using the higher interest rate curve is representative of the market, based on information from credible sources provided by Bloomberg, amongst others. Comparative quotes from financial institutions for specific instruments or similar, are used as a benchmark for evaluation. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

23 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

As at 31 March 2013 and 31 December 2012, major contingent liabilities were guarantees given and can be detailed as follows:

31 March 2013 31 December 2012
Guarantees given:
on tax claims 291,869,518 289,550,598
on judicial claims 272,296 289,988
on municipal claims 6,093,917 6,140,484
other guarantees 59,205,133 67,919,086
Guarantees provided to subsidiaries (a) 314,113,928 256,179,353

a) Guarantees given to Tax Authorities to subsidiaries to defer tax claims.

Retail segment subsidiaries of the Company, granted guarantees or securities in favour of the Portuguese Tax Administration, associated with tax claims for additional VAT payment amounting to 193.9 million euro (193.9 million euro as at 31 December 2012) related to the period from 2004 to 2008, for which the Company has presented, or has the intention of presenting, a tax appeal. Portuguese tax authorities claim that the Company should have invoiced VAT related to promotional discounts invoiced to suppliers which depend on the purchases made by the Group during the year, as it considers that the discounts correspond to services rendered by the company. Tax authorities also claim that the company should not have deducted VAT from discount vouchers used by its non-corporate clients.

The above mentioned Guarantees granted in favour of Subsidiaries, were granted by Sonae SGPS in favour of subsidiaries of Sonae Investimentos Holding. The most relevant tax claims refer to: i) 60 million euro as a result of a tax appeal presented by Sonae concerning an additional tax assessment by Tax authorities, relating to 31 December 2005, following the correction of taxable income for that period as Tax authorities did not accept the recognition of tax losses incurred after the liquidation of a subsidiary of Sonae Investimentos, since it considered that the cover of losses in that subsidiary should not be part of its acquisition cost, which is not in accordance with previous assessments of Tax Authorities; and ii) the amount of 50 million euro, following a tax appeal

presented by the Company concerning additional tax assessments made by Tax authorities, relating to 31 December 2002, which refer to the non-acceptance by Tax authorities of tax losses arising on the sale and liquidation of a subsidiary of the Group.

The caption "Guarantees given on tax claims" include:

-Guarantees granted amounting to 36 million euro in favor of Tax authorities regarding Sonae Holding 2007 income tax. Concerning these guarantees, the most significant amount relates to an increase in equity arising on the disposal of own shares to a third party in 2007. The Company has presented an appeal against this additional tax claim, being the Board of Directors understanding, based on its advisors assessment, that such appeal will be favourable.

-A granted guarantee on a tax claim of a Retail operating segment company in Brazil of approximately 25.5 million euro (65.6 million Brazilian real), which is being judged by tax court, and it refers to tax rent (65.6 million Brazilian real at 31 December 2012).

In addition to the previously disclosed guarantees, as a consequence of the sale of a subsidiary company in Brazil, Sonae guaranteed the buyer all the losses incurred by that company arising on unfavourable decisions not open for appeal, concerning tax lawsuits on transactions that took place before the sale date (13 December 2005) and that exceed 40 million euro. As at 31 March 2013, the amount claimed by the Brazilian Tax Authorities, concerning the tax lawsuits still in progress, which the company's lawyers assess as having a high probability of loss, plus the amounts already paid (26 million euro) related to programmes for the Brazilian State of tax recovery, amount to near 39.3 million euro (39.3 million euro at 31 December 2012).

Furthermore, there are other tax lawsuits totalling 61.3 million euro (61.3 million euro as at 31 December 2012) for which the Board of Directors, based on the lawyers' assessment, understands will not imply future losses to the old subsidiary.

For the year ended 31 December 2010, a subsidiary from the Telecommunications Business segment was notified of the Report of Tax Inspection, where it considers that it is inappropriate the increase, when calculating the taxable profit for the year 2008, of the amount of 100 million euro, with respect to initial price of future credits transferred to securitization. The settlement note was received on April 2011. The subsidiary was subsequently notified of the improper deduction of the amount of 20 million euro in the calculation of taxable income for the years 2009 and 2010. The subsidiary challenged the decisions regarding 2008 and 2009 fiscal years and will challenge, in time, the decision regarding 2010 fiscal year. It is confidence of the Board of Directors of Sonae that there are strong arguments to obtain a favourable decision. For this reason, the subsidiary kept the recording of deferred tax assets associated with this operation.

As at 31 March 2013, in the Telecommunications operating segment, accounts receivable from customers and accounts payable to suppliers include 37.1 million euro and 29.9 million euro, respectively, as well as the captions "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities" include 0.4 million euro and 6.8 million euro, respectively, resulting from a dispute, between the subsidiary Optimus- Comunicações, S.A., and essentially, the operator TMN – Telecomunicações Movéis Nacionais, S.A., in relation to the interconnection tariffs not objectively defined, recorded in the year ended 31 December 2001. The group has considered the most penalizing tariffs in their consolidated financial statements. In the lower court, the decision was favourable to the Group. The "Tribunal da Relação" (Court of Appeal), on appeal, rejected the intentions of TMN. However, TMN again appealed to the "Supremo Tribunal de Justiça" (Supreme Court), for final and permanent decision, who upheld the decision of "Tribunal da Relação" (Court of Appeal), this concluding that the interconnection prices for 2001 were not defined. The settlement of outstanding amounts will depend on the price that will be established.

Following a deliberation of Board of Directors of ANACOM, at April 2012, it was applied to the Sonaecom's subsidiary Optimus, a fine of approximately 6.5 million euro, due to an alleged failure in the application of the resolutions taken by the regulators on 26 October 2005, concerning termination rates for fixed calls. The Boards of Directors of Optimus and Sonaecom understand that Optimus has always complied with that resolution. Given this, Optimus contested in court the application of that fine and is expecting that the appeal will be upheld.

No provision has been recorded to face risks arising from events related to guarantees given, as the Board of Directors considers that no liabilities will result for Sonae.
