ESR Group Limited Annual Report 2022 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2022 149 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Financial instruments (continued) Financial liabilities (continued) Subsequent measurement (continued) Convertible bond and redeemable convertible instruments The component of convertible bond and redeemable convertible instruments that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position, net of transaction costs. On issuance of convertible bond and redeemable convertible instruments, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond; and this amount is carried as a long-term liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bond and redeemable convertible preference shares based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are first recognised. If the conversion option of a convertible bond and redeemable convertible instruments exhibits characteristics of an embedded derivative, it is separated from its liability component. On initial recognition, the derivative component of the instruments is measured at fair value and presented as part of derivative financial instruments. Any excess of proceeds over the amount initially recognised as the derivative component is recognised as the liability component. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and derivative components when the instruments are initially recognised. The portion of the transaction costs relating to the liability component is recognised initially as part of the liability. The portion relating to the derivative component is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Put options in relation to non-controlling interests During the process of acquiring an entity and its subsidiaries, the Group provides the non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary with the right to dispose of the equity interests held by them to the Group. The equity interests in such subsidiary held by the minority shareholders shall be recognised as non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. At the same time, for the share redemption option, the Group shall assume the obligations to acquire in cash the equity interests in such subsidiary held by the non-controlling interests. The present value of the amount payable at the time of buying of the corresponding equity interests of such share redemption option shall be deducted from non-controlling interests and shall be recognised as the financial liabilities of the Group. Such financial liabilities shall be re-measured at the present value of future exercise in the subsequent period, with changes charged to equity. Preference shares Preference share capital issued by certain subsidiaries of the Group is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the Group’s option, and any dividends are discretionary. Discretionary dividends thereon are recognised as distributions within equity upon approval by the Group’s shareholders. Preference share capital issued by certain subsidiaries of the Group is classified as a financial liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary, and non-discretionary dividends thereon that are estimated based on profits or net assets of underlying issuers are recognised as fair value gains or losses in profit or loss.
