* The Group’s proportional voting interests are identical to its proportional beneficial interests, except that it holds a 99.68% proportional beneficial interest in each of Merkanti (A) International Ltd. and Merkanti (D) International Ltd.

As at December 31, 2022, the Group controlled entities in which the Group held more than 50% of the voting rights and did not control any entities in which the Group held 50% or less of the voting rights. The Group’s proportional voting interests in the subsidiaries are identical to its proportional beneficial interests except as described above.

As at December 31, 2022, none of the non-controlling interests are material to the Group. As at December 31, 2022, there were no significant restrictions (statutory, contractual and regulatory restrictions, including protective rights of non-controlling interests) on Scully’s ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of the Group except for amounts presented as restricted cash. See “Currency Risk” in Note 26.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group disposed of a majority-owned subsidiary, resulting in a net gain of $264 which was included in the consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, a third party exercised options to acquire a non-voting beneficial interest of 36.75% in a subsidiary over which the Group had 100% voting control prior to the disposition transaction, resulting in a loss of $356 which was included in the consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group disposed of a wholly-owned subsidiary and a majority-owned subsidiary, resulting in a net loss of $546 which was included in the consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, Merkanti Holding issued 20,000 shares to an outside party for a cash consideration of $8 and a receivable of $23 (which was collected in January 2022), resulting in the Group’s shareholding in Merkanti Holding reduced from 100% to 99.96%.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, certain rights to purchase shares in two subsidiaries with pre-determined prices were issued, exercisable until 2026. In April 2021, those rights were cancelled. Management determined the fair value of the rights to be $nil at the time of their issuance. The issuance of such rights did not have financial impact on the assets and liabilities of the Group until exercised. For further details, see Note 23.
