Covenants
The F.I.L.A. Group, against the debt undertaken with leading credit institutions (UniCredit S.p.A.,
Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., Mediobanca Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A. and Banca Nazionale del
Lavoro S.p.A.) for the acquisition of the Daler-Rowney Lukas and the Canson Group is subject to
commitments and “covenants”.
Covenants are verified half-yearly and annually. In particular, the covenants on the loan contracts
concern: Net Financial Debt (NFD), EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and
Amortisation”) and Net Financial Charges (NFC), calculated on the F.I.L.A. Group half-year and
annual consolidated financial statements prepared as per IFRS.
The criteria for the calculation of the NFD, the EBITDA and the NFC are established by the relative
loan contract.
We report below the covenant indicators and the relative parameters to be
complied with at December
31, 2016.
NFD / EBITDA < 4x
EBITDA / NFC > 5.75x
The covenants at December 31, 2016 had been fully complied with.

Canson SAS (France), guarantee post-employment benefits, both through defined contribution plans
and defined benefit plans.
In the case of defined contribution plans, the Group companies pay the contributions to public or
private insurance institutions based on legal or contractual obligations, or on a voluntary basis. With
the payment of contributions, the companies fulfill all of their obligations. The cost is accrued based
on employment rendered and is recorded under labour costs.
The defined benefit plans may be unfunded, or they may be partially or fully funded by the
contributions paid by the company, and sometimes by its employees to a company or fund, legally
separate from the company which provides the benefits to the employees. The funds provide for a
fixed contribution by the employees and a variable contribution by the employer, necessary to at least
satisfy the funding requirements established by law and regulation in the individual countries.
Finally, the Group recognises to employees other long-term benefits, generally issued on the reaching
of a fixed number of years of service or in the case of invalidity. In this instance, the value of the
obligation recognised to the financial statements reflects the probability that the payment will be
issued and the duration for which payment will be made. The value of these funds are calculated on
an actuarial basis, utilising the “projected unit credit” method.
