One of the subsidiaries of the Group (the Subsidiary) has interpreted certain activities and transactions for calculation of Zakat which may not coincide with GAZT’s interpretation. As a result, GAZT may challenge such transactions and the Subsidiary may be assessed with additional charges which could have a material adverse effect on the Zakat liabilities. Assessments for the years 2005 onwards have not been finalized by GAZT. The management strongly believes that the Subsidiary is in compliance with Zakat regulations and that, consequently, no additional material Zakat liabilities will arise. In addition, for certain matters, which may be levied against the Subsidiary it would seek recovery of these amounts from parties to which the liabilities relate and from whom the Subsidiary has an indemnification. For the year 2015 the Subsidiary is carrying an additional provision of SR 8.514 million.
