The accompanying notes form an integral part of these unaudited interim condensed standalone financial statements.
On 30 January 2018, PCF GmbH as the lender and Pfleiderer Group S.A. as the borrower entered into a loan agreement for EUR 15 000 thousand. The purpose of this agreement was to provide financing for the buyback of treasury shares. The loan was transferred on 2 February 2018. Subsequently, on 6 February 2018, an unused amount of EUR 6 000 thousand was repaid to the lender. As at 30 June 2019, Pfleiderer Group S.A.'s debt under the loan was EUR 9 429 thousand (PLN 40 091 thousand).
On 8 August 2018, PCF GmbH as the lender and Pfleiderer Group S.A. as the borrower entered into a loan agreement for EUR 95 000 thousand. The purpose of the agreement was to obtain funding for continuation of the shares buyback program (stage III). The funding was provided in two stages. The first stage was made available on 2 August 2018 in the amount of EUR 6 411 thousand and was used to cover transaction costs associated with an amendment of the terms of the senior facilities agreement as part of the arrangement providing for the availability of additional external funding. The liabilities were covered directly by the subsidiary PCF GmbH. The remaining portion of the loan in the amount of EUR 88 589 thousand was transferred to the company's bank account on 20 August 2018. As at 30 June 2019, outstanding debt under the loan was EUR 99 446 thousand (PLN 422 844 thousand).
On 5 October 2015, in connection with acquisition of share in Pfleiderer GmbH, Pfleiderer Group S.A. concluded the agreement with Atlantik S.A., based on which Pfleiderer Group S.A. took over an obligation from Atlantik S.A. due to Pfleiderer Service GmbH representing proceeds from sale of Pfleiderer Group S.A. shares held by Pfleiderer Service GmbH after the settlement of Secondary Offering to Atlantik S.A. As at 30 June 2019, Pfleiderer Group S.A.'s debt under the loan was EUR 129 869 thousand (PLN 552 203 thousand).
Other current financial liabilities comprise, inter alia, liabilities to the subsidiary Pfleiderer Polska Sp. z o.o. resulting from settlements as part of the shared financial liquidity management system (cash pooling) operating in the Group since 11 April 2019. As at 30 June 2019, this liability amounted to PLN 10 409 thousand (EUR 2 448 thousand).

The remaining liabilities pertain primarily to the German tax on real estate purchases. Direct acquisition of a share in PCF GmbH caused an obligation to pay German tax on purchase of property. The obligation arose from the fact that PCF GmbH directly and indirectly holds shares in Pfleiderer Deutschland GmbH and Pfleiderer Baruth GmbH, while the latter companies own properties in Germany. As at 30 June 2019, this liability amounted to EUR 9 427 thousand, i.e. PLN 40 562 thousand, (as at 31 December 2018, EUR 10 600 thousand, i.e. PLN 45 595 thousand). Based on the decision issued on 9 April 2019, on 9 May 2019 the Company paid EUR 1 173 thousand, i.e. PLN 5 033 thousand, to the German tax office as payment of part of the tax due on the purchase of real estate located in Germany.

Liabilities on account of debt securities in the amount of PLN 74 918 thousand as at 30 June 2019 (PLN 92 932 thousand as at 31 December 2018) result from outstanding commercial securities in the form of short-term bonds. The notes were purchased by the subsidiaries Pfleiderer Wieruszów Sp. z o.o. and Pfleiderer Silekol Sp. z o.o.
The notes were issued under a debt issue program entered into with a bank. The maximum amount of simultaneous issues under the bond issue program is PLN 500 000 thousand.

On 13 April 2017, the Group finalized and signed the PRIME Agreement for senior secured credit facilities in the amount of EUR 450 000 thousand, consisting of:
7-year covenant-lite tranche B term loan of EUR 350 000 thousand + margin (Euribor minimum: 0.75%) and OID of 99.0 and a 5-year revolving facility of EUR 100 000 thousand + margin (Euribor minimum: 0%).
On 31 July 2018, the PRIME Agreement was annexed and the amount of financing under TLB was increased to EUR 445 000, resulting in an increase in the total funding amount made available under the PRIME Agreement to EUR 545 000 thousand.
The proceeds from the above facilities were used to redeem all senior secured bonds in the amount of EUR 321 684 thousand issued on 27 June 2014 by PCF GmbH (formerly Pfleiderer GmbH) ("Bonds") to refinance the current senior secured renewable credit facility and to finance the related transaction fees, redemption premium and costs and for general corporate purposes and working capital. The proceeds from this increase in funding in 2018 were used to buy back treasury shares on 25 August 2018 and to finance the related transaction fees, bonuses and costs in the total amount of EUR 78 301 thousand. A portion of this funding in the amount of EUR 16 699 thousand remains at the disposal of the Pfleiderer Group and may be used to buy back additional treasury shares.
