B28 Leases Leases as a lessee

The Group leases various office buildings. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 12 years but may have extension options. The majority of extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. In determining the lease term, management consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option. Right-of-use asset The Group’s right-of use assets relate to leased office buildings and are included in property, plant and equipment on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use assets accounting policy Right-of-use assets have finite lives, are depreciated on a straight-line basis and are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.
