Some of the liabilities to banks are fixed-interest and others have variable interest rates. Moreover, some of the liabilities to banks were granted on condition that particular covenants be complied with.

There are no conditional lease payments from finance leases.

Wacker Chemie AG has capitalized a finance lease for the leased CCGT (combined-cycle gas turbine) power station at its Burghausen site. The lease for the power station is due to expire in 2019 at the latest. WACKER has the right to acquire the power station at a price oriented to book values in accordance with German commercial law. If WACKER acquires this power station, it may not be sold to a third party for five years.

WACKER also has leasing agreements for several technical facilities that qualify as finance leases and were capitalized accordingly. Here, too, the company in some cases has rights of pre-emption and lease rollover options.

The lease agreements serve to simplify the procurement and financing of operating materials and fixed assets. The long-term commitment that they involve, however, leads to a constant future outflow of cash from which the company cannot extract itself.
