Key Data

VINCI sets up long-term incentive plans each year, which involve the granting of conditional awards of performance shares to selected beneficiaries. Under these plans, shares only vest at the end of a three-year period, subject to continued employment within the Group, and the number of shares vested is tied to performance conditions, involving both internal and external criteria.

5. Provisions

Accounting policies and methods

Provisions are recorded in the balance sheet in respect of the Company’s obligations to pay supplementary pensions to certain employees or company officers, for the part relating to beneficiaries who are retired. An off-balance sheet commitment is recorded for the portion relating to beneficiaries who have not yet retired.

Retirement benefit obligations (lump sums paid on retirement and supplementary retirement benefit plans) are measured using the prospective actuarial method (the projected unit credit method) on the basis of external assessments made at each period end, for each existing plan.

Other provisions are intended to cover the risks arising from past or present events that are probable at the balance sheet date.They are estimates as regards their amount and expected period of use.

Provisions for retirement and similar benefit obligations relate solely to beneficiaries who have retired. Provisions for retirement and similar benefit obligations are not recognised for active beneficiaries, but are recorded in off-balance sheet commitments.
