At 31 December 2021, the Group owned one subsidiary in which there were material non-controlling interests, London Gatwick airport, 49.99% of which is not owned by VINCI. VINCI Airports and Global Infrastructure Partners, acting on behalf of non-controlling shareholders, signed a shareholders’ agreement determining control over London Gatwick airport. That agreement covers matters including the composition of the Board of Directors, the ability to appoint certain key executives, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and a mechanism for approving substantive decisions such as those regarding the business plan and annual budget. In addition, a procedure has been established for resolving any disputes that may arise, which in certain scenarios will allow non-controlling shareholders, after acceptance by VINCI, to sell their shares to VINCI.
Condensed financial information for London Gatwick airport is presented below. It prepared in accordance with IFRSs, adjusted where appropriate for fair value remeasurements on the date control was acquired (13 May 2019) and adjustments to harmonise accounting policies with those of the Group. The amounts at 31 December 2021 are presented before eliminations of intercompany accounts and transactions.
