Estimates based on actuarial techniques imply the use of statistical tools, such as the so-called demographic tables used in the actuarial valuation of the Company’s active personnel. In order to determine the mortality of the Company’s active personnel, the “1971 Group Annuity Mortality” table has been used. In general, a mortality table shows for each age group the probability that a person in any such age group will die before reaching a predetermined age. Male and female mortality tables are elaborated separately inasmuch as men and women’s mortality rates are substantially different. In order to estimate total and permanent disability due to any cause, 80% of the “1985 Pension Disability Study” table has been used. In order to estimate the probability that the Company’s active personnel will leave the Company or stay therein, the “ESA 77” table has been used. Liabilities related to the above-mentioned benefits have been determined taking into consideration all the rights accrued by the beneficiaries of the plans through the closing date of the year ended December 31, 2020. These benefits do not apply to key management personnel.
