In order to manage its liquidity risk, Publicis holds a substantial amount of cash (cash and cash equivalents) for a total of euro 3,413 million as of December 31, 2019 and undrawn confirmed credit lines representing a total of euro 2,632 million as of December 31, 2019. The main component of these credit lines is a euro 2,000 million multi-currency syndicated facility, maturing in 2020. These immediately or almost immediately available sums allow the Group to meet its general funding requirements.

Apart from bank overdrafts, most of the Group’s debt is comprised of bonds and the medium-term loans, none of which are subject to financial covenants. They only include standard credit default event clauses (liquidation, cessation of payment, default on the debt itself or on the repayment of another debt above a given threshold) which are generally applicable above a threshold of euro 25 million.

The Group has not established any credit derivatives to date.
