24 Pension liabilities

Pension commitments at Gimv group consist, for a portion of employees, of a defined benefit plan whereby the beneficiaries are entitled, at pension date, to an amount that is set in relation to their final salary. For another portion of employees there is a defined contribution plan.

Pension liabilities rose by EUR 730, mainly due to the increase in the majority subsidiaries (EUR 693). Here again, the Gimv group bears no liability whatsoever for the pension obligations of these majority shareholdings.
