3. Treasury shares

Accounting policies and methods

Treasury shares allocated to performance share plans are recognised under “Marketable securities”.

In accordance with CRC Regulation 2008-15, a provision is taken as a financial expense during the period in which the beneficiaries’ rights vest, whenever an expense becomes probable.

Treasury shares not allocated to plans are recorded under “Other non-current financial assets” at their acquisition cost.

An impairment allowance is recognised as a financial expense if the average stock market price of these shares during the last month of the period is lower than their unit cost.

Shares intended for cancellation are not written down.

Whenever plans are hedged by call options, the premiums paid are recorded under “Marketable securities” when the options hedge performance share plans, or under “Other non-current financial assets” when they hedge share subscription option plans.

In both cases, a provision is recognised whenever an expense becomes probable. Income and expense relating to treasury shares (provisions and gains or losses on disposal) are recognised under “Net financial income/(expense)”.
