In compliance with PubliGroupe s principles, goodwill, incurred by Zanox Group at the time of the acquisition of its own subsidiaries, was offset with equity resulting in a negative equity. In the first half of 2014, the main changes in investments in associates were as follows: dividend received: CHF 12.8 million, share in result of associates: CHF 12.6 million, reduction in goodwill within Zanox Group: CHF 4.3 million, PubliGroupe Interim Financial Statements 2014 9

As of 5 May 2014 PubliGroupe agreed to sell its 25.07% interest in FPH Freie Presse Holding AG to the Aktiengesellschaft für die Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ-Mediengruppe) for CHF 53.0 million. Due to the current public tender offers for PubliGroupe s shares, the closing of the transaction is subject to the shareholders approval and is expected in the second half of 2014.
