As a result of the change of control of the NH Group (see Note 14.1) on 30th November 2018, the effective termination of all the management contracts defined in the framework contract entered into in 2017 with Grupo Inversor Hesperia, S.A. (“GIHSA”) was formalised, the latter being a former shareholder of the NH Group, for the management of 28 hotels for a period of nine years, which until then had been managed by the NH Group as this contract included an early termination clause in the event of a change of control of the NH Group.
As a result of this termination, the Group has de-recognised the net book value of the activated management contracts amounting to 30.4 million euros. In the same way, a revenue of 33 million euros has been recorded corresponding to the “Net Price Refund Amount” defined in the framework contract, which includes the receipt of an advance indemnity revenue amounting to 20 million euros, the settlement of the pending payment by NH related to the premiums for contracts amounting to 11,560 thousand euros, which was recognised under “Other Financial Liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2017, and the sale of the Hesperia brand, the net book value of which amounted to 45 thousand euros, for an amount of 1.4 million euros. The net effect of 2.6 million euros of revenue arising from the early cancellation of the contract entered into with GIHSA, before its tax impact, is recognised under “Net result on disposal of assets” of the 2018 consolidated comprehensive profit and loss statement.
