2 CEO MESSAGE

"I am pleased to report another quarter with a good set of operational and financial results. Our efforts to continually improve the value for money of our products and services have been key to obtaining growing preference from consumers and compensating declining private consumption (albeit at a lower rate) in our most significant markets.

The conclusion of the ZON and Optimus merger in this quarter constitutes an indelible mark and is the achievement of two fundamental long term and long pursued goals of Sonae: 1) To create a level and competitive playing field in the Portuguese Telecomunications market; and 2) To further implement our Core Partnership Corporate Strategy. We are very confident that together with our co-controlling partner, remaining shareholders and the newly elected board and management team, we will make Zon Optimus a success story.

During 9M13, the resilience of Sonae MC was proved again by posting a turnover increase of 4% and an increase in the quarter of 4.3% - the highest quarter on quarter increase since 2Q11. A higher promotional activity combined with the continuous commitment of our team to obtain efficiency gains allowed us once again to gain market share, whilst maintaining benchmark levels of profitability. Additionally, at the end of 3Q13 and in October, Sonae MC added 7 new stores in Madeira significantly expanding our presence in this market.

Sonae SR also continued to improve results following the important turnaround measures implemented in the Sports and Fashion divisions. Importantly, all the new store formats introduced this year for our 4 main brands are performing significantly better than average.

At Worten, we have implemented a new sales and store concept combining our online presence with our physical stores. As a result of the profound changes in the business model we have been implementing, we are pleased to report a second consecutive quarter of positive LfL growth in Sport Zone in Spain and positive figures in Portugal as of September —, turnover growth was also helped by the more recent introduction of a new store concept in the pilot locations; at MO, a clear step up in sales of the incoming Fall/Winter collection, also supported by a renewed brand, product style and store concept; Zippy resumed overall turnover growth, with a recovery in Iberia now adding to the successful international expansion program.

Sonae Sierra continued to gain new service contracts in additional countries including a JV in Turkey, while showing resilient figures supported by the good quality of its assets. In October, Parque Principado shopping centre was sold for 141.5 million Euros, which is in line with the strategy of recycling capital from mature shopping centers to invest in development in attractive markets. Meanwhile, all shareholders of the Sierra Fund agreed to continue operations beyond October 2013 with a long-stop date of October 2018.

Following the completion of the formal processes that created Zon Optimus, the Board of Directors of Sonaecom decided to launch a voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of own shares by Sonaecom in exchange for Zon Optimus shares, thus allowing minority shareholders to have direct exposure to Zon Optimus.

Over the last 3 quarters, we have maintained our drive to achieve continuous improvement and continuous innovation, allowing us to grow, while not compromising on our goals for debt reduction, which has continued to progress at a very significant pace."

Paulo Azevedo, CEO Sonae

Following the merger between Zon and Optimus and its report using the equity method, we decided to change the way we report our results to the market by separating each business, in order to obtain more transparency between the segments: 1) Sonae Retail (Sonae MC, SR and RP); 2) Investment Management, including Software and Systems Information and Online & Media businesses from Sonaecom; 3) Sonae Sierra and 4) Zon Optimus.

Sonae MC 9M13 turnover totalled 2,492 M€, 4% above 9M12. The growth registered incorporates circa 1.5% in sales on a "like-for-like" basis, an evolution above market performance and mostly driven by higher volumes sold. During this period, Sonae MC is estimated to have continued strengthening its leading market share in the Portuguese food retail sector1 which is a consequence of the strong loyalty of our customers who trust on the value for money of our products. During this quarter, we further invested in promotional activity also supported by our Continente's loyalty card (used in approximately 90% of the sales in the period). This effect, combined with the trading down carried out by consumers, almost compensated the market inflation2 . Moreover, Continente's private label portfolio continued to be well accepted by the customers and its representativeness was approximately 31% in the sales of FMCG categories during the 9M13. Sonae MC EBITDA reached 183 M€ in 9M13 (+8.3% or + 14 M€), representing a profitability of 7.3% of the respective turnover (+0.3pp compared to the 9M12). This was only possible with a rigorous cost control and further productivity gains,

sustained by the successfully implementation of internal programs over the course of the last years. It is worth to highlight the engagement of our teams to continuous improve their work and customer satisfaction, particularly in the current environment of consumer retraction.

  • Sonae SR with 827 M€ turnover (-5% or -7.5% on a "LfL" basis), due to the impact of the negative macroeconomic evolution in the levels of consumption, particularly for the more discretionary products. Nevertheless, Sonae SR returned to sales growth after two years of suffering with the consumer retraction. This growth is justified by the measures taken to repositioning our 4 main brands as well as by the positive signs that private consumption has shown. 3Q13 "LfL" in the international market recovered by 5pp when compared to 3Q12 which is a clear sign of an improvement in the International SR business, where we have been mostly focused. International sales reached 229 M €, representing 28% of total SR sales. During this quarter, Zippy entered in 3 additional countries (USA, Jordan and Qatar) via franchising agreements. In this format, sales in franchised stores represented almost 20% of total store sales, compared to 15% during the 9M12. It is also worth to highlight the agreement signed to enter with MO in Malta. In Portugal, Sonae SR's sales decreased only by 3% in 9M13, despite the strong result achieved in the electronic segment in the comparable period of last year. Nevertheless, Worten continued to strengthen its leadership in the Portuguese market, with an estimated market share gain of 1.1pp3 . Sonae SR EBITDA contribution totalled -17 M€, an improvement of 7M€ against the same period of the previous year. In the 3Q13, compared to the 3Q12 EBITDA recovered by 5M€, and reached a positive figure, as a result of the turnaround measures implemented in Spain, the renewed collection, store concept and rebranding of MO and the successful implementation of "beach" and "back to school" campaigns for fashion and sport segments. We learned how strong, the positive effects of a successful concept in these discretionary formats can be, even in a macroeconomic negative environment.
  • Sonae RP reached an EBITDA of 84 M€, 2M€ above the value reached in the previous year, which translates into a margin of 90.2% over 93M€ sales. The retail real estate assets in the portfolio comprise 33 Continente stores, 80 Continente Modelo stores and 18 Continente Bom dia stores. Sonae currently maintains a freehold level of approximately 76% of its food retail selling area and 28% of its non-food retail space.

  • During 9M13, Retail turnover grew 1% to 3,319 M€, supported mainly by further market share gains in the food retail business and at Worten in Portugal, and despite the adverse market conditions. Private consumption levels in Portugal and Spain continued to be negatively impacted by the austerity measures that have been implemented in both countries over the last 2 years. Nevertheless, in the case of Portugal, it is estimated that the consumption rate of decline is now at a further slower pace, when compared to 9M12, but still decreasing by 3.1% during 9M13 (-5.4% in 9M12, source Bank of Portugal - Monthly Economic Indicators: October 2013 - Private consumption coincident Indicator).
  • Retail Underlying EBITDA margin improved to 7.5% in the 9M13, 0.6 p.p. above the same period of the previous year, reflecting the resilient top line performance of the food business, the first results of non-food turnaround process, and the efficiency gains delivered across all areas of the company.
  • Until 30th September 2013, retail net debt was reduced to 896 M€, 86 M€ below the same date in 2012, driven by a sustainable cash flow generation over the last 12 months. The company thus continued to strengthen its capital structure, with total net debt to EBITDA reaching 2.5x at the end of 9M13.
  • The investment for Retail business carried out in 9M13 was essentially distributed among the following projects:
  • Selective opening of retail stores, including 1 Continente Bom Dia (Matosinhos Sul), 5 Continente Modelo in Madeira Island and 1 Commercial Galery in Sines including 1 Continente Modelo and the stores of Worten, Sport Zone, MO, Well´s and Bom Bocado, and remodelling of the Continente stores in Cascais and Évora, under a completely new and innovative layout;
  • Further consolidation of Sonae SR's store network in the international markets. At the end of 9M13, Sonae SR's formats had a total of 157 stores outside of Portugal, including 41 under franchising agreements.

Investment Management turnover, which now includes also Software and Systems Information and Online & Media businesses from Sonaecom, reached 164 M€, 5% above 9M12 driven entirely by the increase of 8.9% of the SSI business, fuelled by the stronger service revenues. Investment management EBITDA totalled 8 M€ in 9M13 (+8 M€), corresponding to a sales margin of 4.7% (up by 4.8pp against 9M12). This improvement is solely driven by the increased weight of service revenues in total turnover of the Software and Systems Information business, now consolidated under Investment management unit.

Sonae Sierra

  • Sonae Sierra occupancy rate in Europe reached 95% in 9M13, which being close to the rate reached in 9M12, further reflects the quality of its assets, despite the continuously consumer pressure felt particularly in the southern European countries. This positive performance was also supported by the reopening of the cinemas previously operated by Socorama in shopping Centers in Portugal that were closed over the last months. In Brazil, this rate was affected by the opening of Boulevard Londrina shopping in May, which by its inauguration was not completely occupied. In the overall portfolio under management, tenant sales in 9M13 decreased by 11.2% particularly driven by the disposal of Münster Arkaden (in Germany) and the stakes in Pátio Brasil, Penha Shopping and Tivoli Shopping (in Brazil). LfL tenant sales declined by 2.8% in Europe which shows a slower pace of decline, despite the difficult market environment. This sales reduction continues to be partially compensated by the 4.8% growth attained in Brazil, in local currency terms.
  • Turnover4 declined by 1%, to 166M€ when compared with the 9M12, mainly due to the mentioned perimeter changes, which was partially compensated by the openings in 2012 and 2013 – Le Terrazze, in Italy and Uberlândia and Boulevard Londrina in Brazil. It is worth to highlight the entrance in the Turkish market with the creation of Sierra Reval, as well as the inauguration in October of Hofgarten Solingen in Germany and Passeio das Águas shopping in Brazil.
  • EBITDA reduced 3% to 83.7 M€ in 9M13, when compared to 9M12, basically reflecting the already mentioned disposal of shopping centres completed during 2012. EBITDA margin was 50.5% in the period, 0.9 p.p. below the 9M12. Excluding the disposal of assets mentioned above, the operational result in 3Q13 is in line with the one reported in the 3Q12.
  • Net result was 5 M€, of which the share attributable to Sonae was 3 M€. This reduction of 70% when compared to 9M12 is mostly determined by the indirect results (down by 8M€) only as a results of the unfavourable evolution of the yields in Portugal (+13 bps), Spain (+21 bps) and Italy (+7bps), only partially compensated by the compression of yields in Brazil. Since 1Q12 Sonae Sierra only revalues its portfolio only on a semi-annual basis, in line with market practices.

• Regarding the value of its assets, on 30th September 2013 the company´s OMV (Open Market Value) was 2,217 bn€, 65 M€ above 2012 year-end, basically as a result of the conclusion of the Boulevard Londrina and the acquisition of an additional stake in Cascais Shopping, which more than offset the adverse exchange rate effect in Brazilian assets. Despite the increase on average yields, the "Loan-to-value" ratio remains at a conservative level of 46% at the end of September 2013. Sonae Sierra's Net Asset Value was 1,037 M€ at the end of 9M13.

Sonaecom's shareholders are given the option to sell, in equal standing conditions, their Sonaecom shares for consideration of the directly held 37,489,324 Zon Optimus shares, which are not necessary to the pursuit of Sonaecom's business purposes, thereby enabling direct exposure of Sonaecom shareholders to Zon Optimus. Sonaecom offers an overall price equivalent to €2.45 per Sonaecom share, to be composed of Zon Optimus shares and, where applicable, a remaining cash amount.

10 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 semi-annual 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 1 st January 2012.

Accordingly, the 2012 results of Sonae were restated to reflect these accounting changes and to provide a better understanding of the portfolio evolution.

Additionally, the remaining stake of 18.193% in Optimus SGPS, was converted into a minority stake of 7.28% in Zon Optimus (Note 11), having the Group Kento / Jadeium a call option over half of this shares.

After the share capital increase of Zopt and the closing of the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon, Sonaecom derecognised in consolidated accounts, the difference of assets and liabilities fully consolidated of Optimus SGPS and its subsidiaries amounting to 529 million euro.

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 30 September 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 was recognised as an additional cost of UMTS license, against an entry in the captions "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other current liabilities". In the period ended at 30 September 2013, all the responsibilities with such commitments were derecognized from the consolidated financial statements, following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and, subsequently, the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the telecommunications segment.

Intangible assets as at 30 September 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. In the period ended at 30 September 2013, this asset was derecognized, following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and, subsequently, the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the telecommunications segment (Note 7).

At 30 September 2012, the Group kept recorded under the heading 'Intangible assets – brands and contents' the amounts of 173,155,549 euro, that correspond to the investments net of depreciations made in the development of the UMTS network, including: (i) 54,755,258 euro related to the license; (ii) 18,295,739 euro related to the agreement signed in 2002 between Oni Way and the other three mobile telecommunication operators with activity in Portugal; (iii) 5,619,174 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) 89,807,058 euro related with the programme 'Initiatives E', these last two associated to the commitments assumed by the Group in relation to the 'Information Society'. In the period ended at 30 September 2013, these assets were derecognized, following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and, subsequently, the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the telecommunications segment (Note 7).

The caption 'Brands and patents and other rights' includes also, in the period ended at 30 September 2012, an amount of about 14.9 million euro that corresponds to the costs incurred for customers' loyalty contracts. In the period ended at 30 September 2013, this asset was derecognized, following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and, subsequently, the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the telecommunications segment (Note 7).

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).

The heading of "Other non-current investments" includes 3,141,937 euro (3,155,789 euro as at 30 September 2012) of investments recorded at the cost net of impairment losses for the same reasons.

As a result of the agreements signed in 2005 by the former subsidiary - Sonae Distribuição Brasil, 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 9,5 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.

16 SHARE CAPITAL

As at 30 September 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 22). 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 10,233,789 Sonae Holding shares. Thereafter, the derivative financial instrument focused on 122,566,211 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 30 September 2013 the amount of the liability recorded amounts to 101,729,955 euro (84,664,905 euro as at 31 December 2012) reflecting the market value of Sonae Holding shares (Note 22).

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 27).

At 30 September 2013, the following entities held more than 20% of the subscribed share capital:

19 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 30 September 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 1,3180,082 euro as liabilities and assets as 158,813 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 30 September 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 -4,849,168 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.

21 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

In 2013 and in previous years, Sonae granted deferred performance bonuses to its directors and eligible employees. These are either based on shares to be acquired at nil cost or with discount, three years after they were attributed to the employee, or based on share options with the exercise price equal to the share price at the grant date, to be exercised three years later. In both cases, the acquisition can be exercised during the period commencing on the third anniversary of the grant date and the end of that year.

As at 30 September 2013, all Sonae Holding shares plans responsibilities are accounted in the statement of financial position, under "Other reserves" and in the profit and loss statement under the caption "Staff costs". They are recognized at the shares fair value on the grant date, concerning the 2013, 2012 and 2011. Share-based payments costs are recognized on a straight line basis between the grant and the settlement date.

24 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

As at 30 September 2013 and 31 December 2012, major contingent liabilities were guarantees given and can be detailed as follows:

30 September 2013 31 December 2012
Guarantees given:
on tax claims 550,485,630 289,550,598
on judicial claims 211,268 289,988
on municipal claims 6,389,945 6,140,484
other guarantees 31,236,531 67,919,086
Guarantees provided to subsidiaries (a) 286,346,566 256,179,353

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

Food and Specialized 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 354.4 million euro (193.9 million euro as at 31 December 2012) related to the period from 2004 to 2009, 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.

Concerning to Guarantees granted, 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 21.6 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 30 September 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.

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.
