As per December 29, 2013, short-term deposits and similar instruments included short-term investments with a remaining maturity at acquisition between three and twelve months.
The shareholders' equity in the parent company financial statements equals the shareholders' equity presented in the consolidated financial statements, except that legal reserve participations
and accumulated deficit are presented separately.
The currency translation reserve, cash flow hedging reserve and legal reserve participations are legal reserves that are required by Dutch law. The legal reserve participations include the
increases in net asset value of joint ventures and associates since their first inclusion, less any amounts that can be distributed without legal restrictions.
If the currency translation reserve or the cash flow hedging reserve has a negative balance, distributions to the Company's shareholders are restricted to the extent of the negative balance.
From the total equity as per December 29, 2013, of €6,520 million, an amount of €513 million is non-distributable (December 30, 2012, as restated: €644 million from €5,146 million).
For more information on the dividends on common shares, see Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
