INFORMATION RELATING TO CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS

INFORMATION TO DISCLOSE BY EACH ENTERPRISE THAT IS SUBJECT TO COMPANY LAW ON THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS OF ENTERPRISES

The enterprise has prepared and published consolidated accounts and a consolidated report

{47}------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY OF VALUATION RULES

I. Formation expenses.

Formation expenses, which are not taken account of in the profit and loss account of the year, in which they are incurred, are depreciated over a maximum period of five year.

II. Tangible fixed assets.

Fixed assets purchased have been included in the assets on the balance sheet at their purchase price ; assets manufactured by the company itself have been valued at their cost price.

The purchase or cost price has been depreciated on a straight line basis considering "prorata temporis" at the usual rates agreed by the tax authorities which prevent overvaluation of the net value of fixed assets.

These annual rates of depreciation are as follows :

Buildings, houses 3 % Administrative buildings 3 % Industrial buildings 5 % Tools 15 %

Furniture and office equipment 15 %

Vehicles 20 %

Computer equipment and office machinery 33 1/3 %

Prototype equipment 33 1/3 %

Tangible fixed assets sold to third parties have been written off at their gross value. At the same time the depreciation already taken in the previous year has been written back. The difference between the amount realized and the residual values gives rise to a surplus or deficit, which has been taken in the non recurring profits and losses.

Fixed assets taken out of use have followed the same procedure. The residual value has been depreciated in total and taken against exceptional profits.

In the case of the transfer (by sale or contribution) of a branch of activity or of a division, the depreciation relating to the tangible fixed assets thus transferred during the year has been calculated pro rata temporis to the holding in the company.

Reciprocally, the rule of pro rata temporis has been applied to those tangible fixed assets entering into the balance sheet of the company following the acquisition during the year of a branch of activity or of a division.

Software acquired essential for the functioning of the computersystem has been treated as tangible fixed assets and has been depreciated in accordance with the rules in force for computer equipment, being 33 1/3 % per annum.

III. Financial fixed assets.

Shareholdings have been valued individually each year by the Board of Directors on the basis of their valuation on the stock exchange, their realizable value, their income and their potential interest for the future of the UCB Group.

Reductions in value, which have resulted, have been taken against non‐recurring profits and losses.

IV. Receivables and liabilities.

Have been entered on the balance sheet at their nominal value.

Receivables have been written down if their repayment, when due, is wholly or partly uncertain or doubtful.

V. Foreign currencies.

A. Foreign currency transactions

Non‐monetary assets (and liabilities), such as inventories, real estate, participations, which have resulted in a foreign currency transaction, are and are recorded in the accounts at their acquisition value in EURO as Conversion of the amount in foreign currency at the exchange rate, adopted on the day on which the transaction was registered ("historical" price).

This rule also applies as regards the recording, in EURO, of claims and monetary debts denominated in foreign currency. At the end of the financial year, however, the countervalue in EURO of these items is remeasured on the basis of the average market price on the closing date of the accounts.

{48}------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY OF VALUATION RULES

B. Fair value hedges : FX risks

Depending on the nature of the financial instrument and the presence of the underlying on the balance sheet, the impact of derivatives has been recognized directly in the income statement in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) Balance sheet according to Belgian standards.

Since January 1, 2016, UCB SA has made a change in accounting rules in these statutory accounts in order to align the two accounting standards. The derivative products are nowrecognized directly in the profit and loss accountsin BEGAAP standards.

The Board approved this change in accounting rules to facilitate the closing process and align the statutory valuation rules under the BEGAAP standards with the Group's accounting policies under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and thus facilitating comparison with IFRS.

C. Fair value hedges : interest rate risk

In case an IRS is concluded under the form of a fair value hedge, the interests to be paid for the loan will be offset by the interests to be received from the IRS in the entity where the loan is accounted for. However the changes in fair value of the derivative will not be offset with the changes in fair value of the loan as the loan will remain accounted for at amortised cost under Bgaap. Therefore, as there is no offsetting exposure for the changes in fair value of the derivative, the derivative will only be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and the changesin fair value will not affect profit and loss accounts. This is in line with the guidance in advice 2011/18 issued by the Belgian Accounting Commission (see § III D. of the advice) which states that, in case an IRS is concluded as a hedging operation (as opposed to a speculative operation), the eventual (negative) fluctuation in market value of the IRS does not need to be taken in profit and loss since the change in market value of the loan does not need to be accounted for neither.

In case of a CCIRS (cross currency interest rate swap), the same rules will apply except for the foreign currency part of the derivative. In this particular case, the fluctuations in fair value of the CCIRS that are due to the forex component do have an offsetting exposure as the outstanding loan will be in foreign currencies which is revalued through profit and loss. In this case, the forex component of the derivative will be measured at fair value on the balance sheet and all fluctuations of this component will go through P&L. The interest rate component of the derivative will only be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. This is in line with advice 2011/18 issued by the Belgian Accounting Commission (see § III D. of the advice) as the change in fair value of the loan due to the forex component will be accounted for in profit and loss due to the current valuation rules whereby all revaluation effects of monetary assets and liabilities are accounted for through P&L.

D. Cash flow hedge : FX risks

The effects of changes in fair value of cash flow hedges will only be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and disclosed in the notes. In case of a back‐to‐back cash flow hedge for FX risk concluded by the Treasury Center, the cash flow hedge will have an offsetting exposure; so in this case, the cash flow hedge will be accounted for at fair value in the balance sheet with fluctuations going through P&L.

In case the FX risk would be hedged by options, the same methodology as explained above will be followed. In case of hedging a forecasted transaction with options, the hedged transaction is not on the balance sheet yet and since there is no offsetting exposure for the derivative, the derivative will be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and disclosed in the notes to the statutory financial statements.

In order to further align the Bgaap accounting treatment of hedged transactions with the IFRS accounting treatment, UCB also proposes to recognize the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, on the same line in the income statement as the hedged item (firm commitment/forecasted transaction) at the moment the hedged item affects profit or loss or on the same line in the balance sheet at the moment the hedged forecasted transaction results in the recognition of a non‐financial asset or liability (as part of the initial measurement of that asset or liability). UCB proposes to use the same average rate methodology as adopted under IFRS for recognition of the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments into P&L.

E. Cash flow hedge : interest rate risks

In case of an IRS accounted for as a cash flow hedge, the same accounting principles will apply as mentioned above under IRS concluded as fair value hedges. As there is no offsetting exposure for the changes in fair value of the derivative, the derivative will only be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and the changes in fair value will not affect profit and loss accounts. This is also applicable in case an IRS is concluded for a forecasted transaction. This is in line with § III C. (IRS as hedging for a loan with variable interest rate) and E. (IRS as hedging for a forecasted transaction) of the advice 2011/18 issued by the Belgian Accounting Commission.

SUMMARY OF VALUATION RULES

As a result, the Bgaap accounting treatment of cash flow hedges that hedge the interest rate risk will be different from the IFRS accounting. Under IFRS the effects of changes in fair value of cash flow hedges will be accounted for in equity whereas under Bgaap these will only be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and disclosed in the notes.

F. Net investment hedge

The net investment hedge will be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and disclosed in the notesto itsstatutory financial statements except in case there would be an offsetting exposure. The Bgaap accounting of net investment hedges will be different from the IFRS accounting.

Under IFRS any impacts of net investment hedges are accounted for in equity. Under Bgaap these will be accounted for as an off‐balance sheet commitment and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements unless there is an offsetting exposure in which case the hedge is accounted for at fair value on the balance sheetwith fluctuations going through P&L.Boekhoudkundige behandeling van aandelenopties.

Description of the scheme for complementary retirement and surviving dependents pensions.

A. Scheme for complementary retirement pensions.

UCB SA has made regulations setting out an objective to be attained concerning the resources to be made available to retired salaried staff.

The objective decided upon is to be achieved by the payment to those retired, over and above the legal pension of :

  • a) pensions or lump sums resulting from the maturity at the time of their retirement of group insurance policies, whose premiums have been paid by the person concerned throughout his career ;
  • b) possible pensions paid by the ASBL Fonds de Prévoyance UCB, a complementary pension fund maintained from monthly payments made by the company ;
  • c) a special sum, depending on the length of service, paid by the company on their retirement.
  • B. Scheme for complementary pensions to surviving dependents.

UCB SA has also subscribed to insurance policies in favor of the heirs of its salaried staff covering :

  • ‐ death benefit
  • ‐ temporary pensions to orphans.

These insurances are financed by the payment of annual premiums by the company.

In addition, the company pays to a widow of a salaried staff employee, who dies in service, a special payment as an additional widow's pension.

C. Other Benefits.

UCB SA has made internalregulations providing income to be given to employees absent through accident,sickness, maternity, etc., for periods which vary according to their length of service.
