It should be noted that the preliminary disclosure concerning the dealings with associated companies, joint ventures and other companies of Prelios Group as well as Prelios S.p.A. subsidiaries, relating to December 2015, reported below, is compared with the data that refer to last 30 September 2015 with regard to balance sheet data and with the data at 31 December 2014 with regard to income statement data.
