The increase for the period of € 14,978 thousand refers to the payment made to the
subsidiary Enav North Atlantic, a Limited Liability Company incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware (USA), relating to the cash needed to pay a tranche
to acquire shareholdings in Aireon, as provided in the relevant contract. Enav North
Atlantic was assigned the obligations under the Subscription Agreement signed in
December 2013 for the purchase of a 12.5% shareholding in Aireon, a United States
registered limited liability company belonging to the Iridium Group. The Group
supplies the services required for air navigation surveillance activities through the
use of a payload system installed on board the 66 operating satellites which Iridium
will launch, and which will enable it to make the first global satellite surveillance
system available to air traffic with a surveillance coverage of points not currently
covered by radar. This investment is being acquired with payment made in four
instalments, the last of which falls due in 2017, for a total price of US$ 61.2 million.
The tranches correspond to payments made by the Aireon’s major shareholder, NAV
Canada, holding 51% of its capital and tied to the realization of the same milestones
identified with the latter. At the end of 2015, the first two tranches had been paid for
a total of € 28.1 million, corresponding to US$ 38.3 million.
