Brief description

Within the scope of the policy for the management of the staff members, Proximus has provided a plan under the form of a "defined benefit plan" for complementary pensions applicable to Proximus PLC under Belgian Public Law and some subsidiaries. The employees of Proximus PLC under Belgian Public Law are part of this complementary pension plan.

The rights of the participants of this plan are recognised as from January 1st, 1997 at the earliest. For the execution of these commitments and for the management of the assets that are gathered for this, a Pension Fund has been founded and recognised by R.D. of December 8th, 1998. In 2015 it took the name "Proximus Pensioenfonds O.F.P."/ "Fonds de Pension Proximus O.F.P" via the amendment of its articles of incorporation published in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette on 09/06/2015.

In 2006 the plan was amended with effect on January 1st, 2005, in 2013 with effect on 01.04.2013 and in 2016 with effect on 01.09.2016. On the basis of an actuarial calculation according to the PUC- method (Project Unit Credit), based on a nominal discount rate of 0,80 % and the expected evolution of the salaries, the total amount of DBO (Defined Benefit Obligation) obligations to the staff members of Proximus PLC under Belgian Public Law amounts to 771.450 KEUR on December 31st, 2020.

The amount of obligations of this fund (Proximus S.A. de droit public/N.V. van publiek recht including some subsidiaries) amounts to 837.244KEUR on December 31st, 2020 (the obligation contains the taxes on the amount of the possible underfunding). The fund is funded on the basis of the annual periodic cost, also calculated according to the PUC-method. On December 31st, 2020 the total investments portfolio of this fund amounts to 770.424KEUR.

Following the advice of the CBN 2018/15 issued 20 June 2018, the valuation of the pension liabilities under Belgian GAAP needs to be based on current salaries, without considering future salary developments. In addition, as required by Belgian law, the plan assets in the pension fund more than fully cover the prudent calculation of the vested benefits per 31 December 2020. On this basis, no provision for underfunding needs to be recognized in Belgian statutory annual accounts.

In the context of various acquisitions, there are contingent commitments (earn outs & put options) for a total amount of 1 million euros per end of 2020. These obligations are payable in 2022 to the extent that the agreed conditions are met.

Some credit facilities are conditional to the respecting of certain debt ratios at group level.

Proximus gives support letters to some of its affiliates. These letters provide assurance that the affiliates will be able to fulfil their financial obligations.

Proximus often has, for the rented spaces where she installs network antennas, the obligation to hand over these spaces in their original state at the end of the rent agreement.

Universal Services

In accordance with the law of 13 June 2005 on electronic communication, Proximus is entitled to claim compensation for the social tariffs that it has offered since 1 July 2005 as part of its universal service provision. For every operator offering social tariffs, the BIPT is required to assess whether or not there is a net cost and an unreasonable burden. In May 2014, the BIPT, together with an external consultant, started to analyze the net costs Proximus bore in providing the social discounts, which were offered over the period 2005-2012, the aim being to assess the possibility of there being an unreasonable burden on Proximus, and hence the possibility of a contribution being due by the operators liable to pay a contribution. On 1 April 2015, however, Proximus withdrew its request for compensation, referring to the legal opinion of 29 January 2015 of the Ad-vocate General of the European Court of Justice, following the prejudicial question that the Belgian Constitu-tional Court submitted regarding the law of 10 June 2012 (case C-1/14), more precisely regarding the possi-bility of classifying mobile social tariffs as an element of the universal service. Proximus reserved its right to introduce a new request for compensation once the implications of the Court's decision would be clear. In a judgment of 11 July 2015, the European Court of Justice stated that mobile social tariffs cannot be financed by means of a compensation mechanism to which specific undertakings have to contribute.

In its judgment of 3 February 2016 (no. 15/2016), the Constitutional Court, taking into account the Judgment of the Court of Justice, indicated that since the Member States are free to consider mobile communication services (voice and internet) as additional mandatory services, the Legislator could impose the obligation on mobile operators to provide mobile tariff reductions to social subscribers. However, it specified that a financ-ing mechanism for such services involving specific undertakings cannot be imposed. It is up to the Legisla-tor to decide whether, for the provision of such services, compensation should be calculated by means of another mechanism which does not involve specific undertakings.

In its communication of 27 December 2017 regarding the monitoring van the universal service, the BIPT states the following : '(PXS translation)'Following this, the Constitutional Court has decided on 3 february 2016 that Belgium cannot oblige the telecomoperators to grant social tariffs for mobile telephony and mobile internet. However, the government could decide to make the services accessibles to the public as 'additional obligatory services', however without a possibility to have a financing from the sectorial compensation fund.' Given this reading of the BIPT, it has been decided not to grant any longer social tariffs on standalone mo-bile internet formulas. Social reductions on bundles for mobile internet are being maintained.

In 2015, the Minister competent for electronic communications announced a reform of the legal system of social tariffs, prioritizing a simplification of the current system as well as an evolution towards a system based on voluntary engagement.

So far the Minister has not yet transformed his intention into a concrete draft law. The claim for compensation for the social tariffs has not been renewed. The transposition of the European Electronic Communication Code into Belgian law might possibly bring changes to the definition of the social tariffs. The recent federal Government Agreement 2020 announces an innovation of the system of social tarifs

Tax on pylons

New evolutions in jurisprudence led the Group to reassess the liabilities related to Taxes on Pylons in 2018. This resulted in a material increase of provisions in 2018. In 2019, there are no material changes in the jurisprudence which should lead to a review of the applied methodology with respect to the accruals. In 2020 there were both positive and negative evolutions in case law which have resulted in a review of the provisions with a limited net impact. The position as recognized in the Financial Statements reflects management's best estimate of the probable final outcome.

Compensation mechanism statutory retirees

On 31 December 2003, Proximus transferred to the Belgian State its legal pension obligation for its statutory employees and their survivors, in exchange of a payment of EUR 5 Billion to the Belgian State. The transfer of the statutory pension liability to the Belgian State in 2003 was coupled with an increased employer social security contribution for civil servants as from 2004 and included an annual compensation mechanism to off-set certain future increases or decreases in the Belgian State's obligations as a result of actions taken by Proximus. Following a change in law (Program Law of 25 December 2017), as from 2018, the obligation to off-set stopped for the Belgian State.

V.A.T. unit

Claims and legal proceedings

Our policies and procedures are designed to comply with all applicable laws, accounting and reporting requirements, regulations and tax requirements, including those imposed by foreign countries, the EU, as well as applicable labour laws.

The complexity of the legal and regulatory environment in which we operate and the related cost of compliance are both increasing due to additional requirements. Furthermore, foreign and supranational laws occasionally conflict with domestic laws. Failure to comply with the various laws and regulations as well as changes in laws and regulations or the manner in which they are interpreted or applied, may result in damage to our reputation, li-ability, fines and penalties, increased tax burden or cost of regulatory compliance and impacts of our financial statements.

The telecommunications industry and related service businesses are characterised by the existence of a large number of patents and trademarks. Litigation based on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights is common. As the number of entrants into the market grows and the overlap of product functions increases, the possibility of an intellectual property infringement claim against Proximus increases.

Proximus is currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings, including those for which a provision has been made and those described below for which no or limited provisions have been accrued, in the jurisdictions in which it operates concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business. These include also proceedings before the Belgian Institute for Postal services and Telecommunications ("BIPT"), appeals against decisions taken by the BIPT, and proceedings with the tax administrations.

1. Broadband/Broadcast Access Related Cases

Between 12 and 14 October 2010, the Belgian Directorate General of Competition started a dawn raid in Proximus's offices in Brussels. This investigation concerns allegations by Mobistar and KPN regarding the wholesale DSL services of which Proximus would have engaged in obstruction practices. This measure is without prejudice to the final outcome of the full investigation. Following the inspection, the Directorate General of Competition is to examine all the relevant elements of the case. Eventually the College of Competition Prosecutors may propose a decision to be adopted by the Competition Council. During this procedure, Proximus will be in a position to make its views heard. (This procedure may last several years.)

During the investigation of October 2010, a large numbers of documents were seized (electronic data such as a full copy of mail boxes and archives and other files). Proximus and the prosecutor of the Competition authority exchanged extensive views on the way to handle the seized data. Proximus wanted to be sure that the lawyers "legal privilege" (LPP) and the confidentiality of in house counsel advices are guaranteed. Moreover, Proximus sought to prevent the Competition authority from having access to (sensitive) data that were out of scope. Not being able to convince the prosecutor of its position, Proximus started two proceedings, one before the Brussels Court of Appeal and one before the President of the Competition Council, in order to have the communication to the investigation teams of LPP data and data out of scope suspended. On 5 March 2013, the Court of Appeal issued a positive judgment in this appeal procedure by which it ruled that investigators had no authority to seize documents containing advices of company lawyers and documents that are out of scope and that these documents should be removed/destroyed. To be noted that this is a decision on the procedure in itself and not on the merit of the case.

On 14 October 2013, the Competition authority launched a request for cassation against this decision. Proximus has joined this cassation procedure. Eventually, on 22 January 2015, the Supreme Court decided to confirm the Judgment of 5 March 2013, except for a restriction with regard to older documents, which was annulled. It is up to the Court of Appeal now to take a new decision on this restriction. In March 2014, KPN has withdrawn its complaint; Mobistar remaining the sole complainant.

2. Mobile On-net cases related

In the proceedings following a complaint by KPN Group Belgium in 2005 with the Belgian Competition Authority the latter confirmed on 26 May 2009 one of the five charges of abuse of dominant position put forward by the Prosecutor on 22 April 2008, i.e. engaging in 2004-2005 in a "price-squeeze" on the professional market. The Belgian Competition Authority considered that the rates for calls be-tween Proximus customers ("on-net rates") were lower than the rates it charged competitors for routing a call from their own networks to that of Proximus (=termination rates), increased with a number of other costs deemed relevant. All other charges of the Prosecutor were rejected. The Competition Authority also imposed a fine of EUR 66.3 million on Proximus (former Belgacom Mobile) for abuse of a dominant position during the years 2004 and 2005. Proximus was obliged to pay the fine prior to 30 June 2009 and recognized this charge (net of existing provisions) as a non-recurring expense in the income statement of the second quarter 2009.

Proximus filed an appeal against the ruling of the Competition Authority with the Court of Appeal of Brussels, contesting a large number of elements of the ruling: amongst other the fact that the market impact was not examined. Also KPN Group Belgium and Mobistar filed an appeal against said ruling.

Following the settlement agreement dated 21 October 2015, the appeals of Base and Mobistar against the decision of the Belgian Competition Authority are withdrawn. Proximus will continue its appeal procedure against this decision.

In its interim judgment of 7th of October 2020, the Brussels Court of Appeal partially annulled the decision of 26th of May 2009 of the Competition Council, based on the reasoning that (i) the Belgian Competition Authority could not have established the existence of an abuse of a dominant position for 2004 without the document seized during the illegal dawn raid, while (ii) the documents seized during the illegal dawn raid were not indispensable for the establishment of the abuse of a dominant position for 2005. Consequently, Court decided that the procedure should only be continued for the latter period (both for other procedural issues and on merits). Proximus will launch a "pourvoi en cassation" against this judgment in so far, according to Proximus, the decision should not have been annulled partially (2004), but totally (2004 and 2005), exactly because of the illegality of the dawn raid.

In October 2009, seven parties (Telenet, KPN Group Belgium (former Base), KPN Belgium Business (Tele 2 Belgium), KPN BV (Sympac), BT, Verizon, Colt Telecom) filed an action against Belgacom mobile (currently Proximus and hereinafter indicated as Proximus) before the Commercial Court of Brussels formulating allegations that are similar to those in the case mentioned above (including Proximus-to-Proximus tariffs constitute an abuse of Proximus's alleged dominant position in the Bel-gian market), but for different periods depending on the claimant, in particular, in the 1999 up to now timeframe (claim for EUR 1 provisional and request for appointment of an expert to compute the precise damage). In November 2009 Mobistar filed another similar claim for the period 2004 and beyond. These cases have been postponed for an undefined period.

Following the settlements with Telenet, KPN, BASE Company and Orange, the only remaining claimants are BT, Verizon and Colt Telecom.

On 22nd of November 2019, Orange Belgium and Proximus concluded a mobile radio access network (RAN) sharing agreement. Telenet, which contests the agreement, lodged a complaint with the Belgian Competition Authority and made a request for preliminary measures. On 8th of January 2020, the Belgian Competition Authority, whilst acknowledging the benefits of the agreement, decided to suspend the agreement during 2 months, giving Orange Belgium and Proximus the time to have discussions with the telecommunications regulator. In the meantime, several preparatory actions can still be taken. In the absence of new initiative from the prosecutors of the Belgian Competition Authority, the suspension took an end after the 2 months period allowing Proximus to fully implement the radio access network (RAN) sharing agreement. In the meantime, the prosecutors of the Belgian Competition Authority continue to investigate the agreement. A decision on the merits, if any, may take several years.

Gial case

On 19 June 2019, Proximus was indicted by a Brussels investigating judge following a complaint on the grounds of corruption and offences relating to industry, commerce and public auctions in the so-called "GIAL" case. Proximus formally contests having committed any offence in this case. Due to the secrecy of the investigation, it is obvious that the details of this case cannot be set out in this report.

Nevertheless, Proximus would like to mention the existence of this case to ensure transparency.

For information purposes: if, contrary to its analysis of its role in this case, Proximus were to be found guilty of the acts which it is accused of and in view of the indictment by the investigating judge, the maximum fine that could be imposed to Proximus in the context of this case would be EUR 800,000. At the present time and on the basis of the information available to Proximus in connection with this case, Proximus has not accrued any provision for the payment of this case.

Finally, insofar as necessary, Proximus recalls that the indictment does not in any way imply that there are any charges or evidence of guilt against it and insists that it is presumed innocent and has solid elements for a favourable outcome to this case.

VALUATION RULES

The valuation rules comply with the terms of Chapter II of the R.D. of Jan 30, 2001 modified by R.D. Dec 18, 2015.

These rules were approved and modified by the Board of Directors on May 27, 1993, Dec 4, 1997, Oct 22, 1998, Oct 28, 1999, Oct 26, 2000, April 25, 2002, Oct 23, 2003, Dec 13, 2004, Dec 18, 2008, Feb 24, 2011, March 1, 2012, February 27, 2014 and February 28th, 2019.

BALANCE SHEET

FORMATION EXPENSES

The debt issuance costs are charged to income statement in the year in which they are incurred. Material formation expenses are capitalised and depreciated over a 5 year period. The acquisitions of the year are depreciated pro rata temporis.

Restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The intangible assets are measured at cost; this is the purchase price, production cost or the contribution value. General expenses are not included in the cost.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. An impairment loss on these assets is recorded in case of a permanent loss or durable decrease of value.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on a straight line basis (except for broadcasting rights acquired in 2018 and 2019) at a fixed rate using the following plan, established on the basis of economic criteria:

  • Goodwill: over the estimated useful life, if the useful life cannot be estimated reliably: 5 to 10 years
  • Software: 5 years or the license period in case the latter one is shorter than 5 year
  • Network licenses: over the license period
  • Rights to use, football and broadcasting rights: over the contract period
  • Customer bases and trademarks: 3 to 10 years

The acquisitions of the year are amortized pro rata temporis.

Broadcasting rights acquired in 2018 and 2019 are amortized using the double of the linear depreciation rate with a maximum of 40% of the initial purchase value.

The goodwill resulting from the merger of early 2010 is depreciated over 15 years. This depreciation period is justified by the long life character of the expected profitability of all the merged companies.

The goodwill resulting from the merger of Wireless Technology in 2016 is depreciated over 10 years. This depreciation period reflects the useful life over which the economic benefits from the assets in the business combination are expected to be consumed by Proximus.

The goodwill resulting from the merger of Proximus Group Services NV in 2019 has been fully recognized in the income statement.

TANGIBLE ASSETS

Tangible assets are valued at cost; this is the purchase price, production cost or the contribution value. General expenses are not included.

202.239.951
-------------

Tangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated. An impairment loss on these assets is recorded in case of a permanent loss or durable decrease of value.

Tangible assets with a finite useful life are depreciated using the straight line method (except for tangible assets acquired in 2018 and 2019). The tangible assets acquired in 2018 and 2019 are depreciated using the annual declining method meaning the double of the linear rate with a maximum of 40% of the initial purchase value.

The determination of the depreciable amount takes into account a residual value if this can be determined accurately, is material and its realization is sufficiently certain.

They are depreciated at a fixed rate using the following plan, established on the basis of economic criteria:

Useful life (years)
Land and buildings
- Land indefinite
- Buildings and building equipment 22 - 33
- Facilities in buildings 3 - 10
- Leasehold improvements 3 - 10
Technical and network equipment
- Cables and ducts 15 – 20
- Switches 8 – 10
- Transmission equipment 6 – 8
- Radio Access Network 6 – 7
- Mobile sites and site facility equipment 5 – 10
- Equipment installed at client premises 2 – 8
- Data and other network equipment 2 - 15
Furniture and vehicles
- Furniture and office equipment 3 – 10
- Vehicles 3 – 10

Fixed assets held under leasing or other similar rights are depreciated based on the useful life of the fixed asset as defined in the contract.

Assets under construction and advance payments are depreciated over the life term of the assets to which they relate.

Fixed assets that are put out of order are valued at net book value or at their expected realisation value if lower. They are no longer depreciated.

The acquisitions of the year are depreciated pro rata temporis.

The tangible assets as well as the assets related to the broadcasting rights acquired in 2018 and 2019 are depreciated using the annual declining method meaning the double of the linear rate with a maximum of 40%. The acquisitions of 2020 are depreciated using the straight-line method.

FINANCIAL ASSETS

Participating interests and shares are valued at their acquisition cost, which is the purchase price or the contribution value. Only the material ancillary costs are capitalised.

A write down is recorded if a durable permanent impairment or decrease in value of these assets is observed, based on the financial situation, the profitability or the perspectives of the company in which the participating interests or shares are held, taking into account the CBN/CNC advice n° 126-8.

Receivables are recognized at their nominal value. An allowance is recorded when, at the due date, the payment is partially or entirely uncertain.

AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE AFTER MORE THAN ONE YEAR

Amounts receivables are booked at nominal value. Amounts receivable expressed in foreign currencies are converted to EUR at the rate in force at the date of delivery and are translated at the year-end rate.

A bad debt allowance is recorded on the nominal value when at the due date, the payment is partially or entirely uncertain.

STOCKS AND CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS

Inventories of consumables and goods for resale are booked at their cost.

At the time of the annual inventory, the Weighted Average Price method is used to assess the various subdivisions in this caption.

A write down is applied when the realisable value or market value is lower than the acquisition cost or to take into consideration the risks inherent to the nature of the products.

Contracts in progress and work in process are valued at production cost or at market price (if this is lower than the production cost).

The projects of the ICT activity (contracts in progress) are taken into result based on stage of completion.

AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE WITHIN ONE YEAR

These amounts appear on the balance sheet at nominal value.

A bad debt allowance is recorded on the nominal value when at the due date, the payment is partially or entirely uncertain.

Amounts receivable expressed in foreign currencies are converted into EUR at the rate in force on the date of delivery. At balance date they are translated at closing rate.

CURRENT INVESTMENTS

Current investments are valued at nominal value when they concern funds held in financial institutions and at acquisition cost, acquisition price without ancillary costs, in the other case.

A write-down is recorded on the nominal value or on the acquisition cost when the sales value on the closing date of the balance sheet is less than the previously booked value.

For the determination of the realisable value of own shares the market value is taken into account on the one hand and the strike price of granted share options for which these shares are held on the other hand.

Current investments in foreign currencies are translated into EUR at the rate in force on the closing date of the balance sheet.

CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND

Cash at bank and in hand is valued at nominal value. A write-down is recorded on the nominal value when the realisation value on the closing date of the balance sheet is less than the previously booked value. Cash at bank and in hand in foreign currencies is translated into EUR at the rate in force on the closing date of the balance sheet.

PROVISIONS AND DEFERRED TAXES

On the closing date of the balance sheet, an inventory is made of all foreseeable liabilities and contingent losses arising during the current year or during prior years. Provisions are established based on a reliable estimate of the risk on the moment of the establishment of the annual accounts. Provisions reflect the best estimate of probable costs or, when it relates to an obligation, the best estimate of the amount necessary to settle this at year-end closing.

In the framework of the departure plans, provisions are made after approval by the Joint Committee. These provisions are determined as the present value of the benefits granted during the period of inactivity, both for current and future beneficiaries.

In the framework of post-employment benefits, a provision is made for the current and future beneficiaries of these benefits. For the current beneficiaries this provision is determined as the present value of the obligation resulting from the granted benefits. For future beneficiaries, this provision is built up gradually based on the number of years of service. As a consequence, at the pension date, the provision corresponds also to the present value of the obligation for the granted benefits.

The provision for damages concerning vehicles is built by the company as "own insurer" and is valued through an individualisation of all damages that occurred before 2014 and for which the costs will reasonably be bared by the company in future years.

Deferred taxes are booked in compliance with article 76 of the R.D. of January 30, 2001.

AMOUNTS PAYABLE WITHIN ONE YEAR AND AFTER MORE THAN ONE YEAR

Amounts payables are recognized on the balance sheet at nominal value.

Amounts payable in foreign currencies are converted into EUR as follows:

  • loans in foreign currencies at the rate in force at the time the loan is concluded;
  • trade debts at the exchange rate on the date of entry of the reception of the goods and services.

Trade debts and financial debts, not covered against exchange risks, expressed in foreign currencies are translated at closing rate.

TRANSLATION DIFFERENCES

Exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation are taken in the income statement.

INCOME STATEMENT

The items in the income statement are valued at nominal value. Own construction is booked at production cost excluding indirect costs.

TURNOVER

Revenue is recorded in the period to which they refer, regardless of their payment. The turnover takes commercial and volume discounts into account.

Specific revenue streams and related recognition criteria are as follows:

  • revenue from fixed line, mobile and carrier traffic is recognized on usage.

  • revenue from connection fees and installation fees is recognized in income at the time of connection or installation.

  • revenue from sales of communication equipment is recognized upon delivery to the third party distributors or upon delivery by the own Proximus shops to the end-customer.

Article 155 of the law of June 13, 2005 with regard to the electronic communication has cancelled the chapter V, that treats the public telecommunication service (being the tasks of public service), of the law of March 21st, 1991 and has been replaced by the provisions of chapter I, that treats the universal service (art. 68 to 104 included) of title IV of the new law. However, article 86ter of the law of March 21st, 1991 has been preserved and taken over as such under chapter II – Supplementary services of title IV of the law of June 13, 2005 (art. 105 to 107 included). The figures below contain the assignment of the public services as defined in the articles of the law and in article 4 in the management contract.

1. Operating income 0.00 EUR
2. Operating charges 156.038,43 EUR
Operating result (loss) (156.038,43) EUR

The calculations were made based on a cost model developed by Proximus S.A. de droit public/N.V. van publiek recht for the products that meet the requirements of the management contract and based on business economic criteria taking into account the expected life span of the products.
