Mediapolis update
Further to the announcement of 12 January 2015, the Company is pleased to
announce that at the Annual General Meeting of Mediapolis S.p.A ("Mediapolis")
held on 26 January 2015, shareholders approved Mediapolis' unaudited annual
report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 which have
subsequently been filed.
In these financial statements, Mediapolis reported a profit before tax of EUR
7'425'326 and net shareholder equity (net of the all Mediapolis debts) of EUR
24'346'116. As a result of its recent subscription, Clear Leisure has an
interest in Mediapolis of 82.4 per cent.
Whilst Mediapolis's accounts have been approved by the shareholders, the
accounts were not subject to an audit as Mediapolis is a privately held
company. In order to assist with the preparation of Clear Leisure's report and
accounts for period ending 31 December 2014, Mediapolis has appointed
Audirevi-Nexia, a Milan based Auditor which has commenced the process.
The Company further announces that, on 28 January 2015, Mediapolis formally
lodged two claims a claim for damages for up to EUR 39'650'000 against Regione
Piemonte as a result of unacceptable delays in obtaining specific building
permits from 1999 to present.
The Company advises that, for prudent accounting procedures, no value was
attributed to the claim for damages against Regione Piemonte in Mediapolis'
annual report and financial statements.
The Company will keep the market appraised of future developments.
