(*) Corresponds to the rights of use of land and buildings. With regard to right-of-use assets, the heading 'Other financial liabilities - Liabilities associated to right-of-use assets' (see Note 22.4) includes the current value of future lease payments during the mandatory period of the contract.

(**) They mainly include the value of real estate reclassified from other balance sheet headings: from “Own use” when a branch is closed or from “Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale” when the asset is put up for rent (see Note 21).

Property, plant and equipment for own use

Property, plant and equipment for own use are allocated to the Banking Business cash-generating unit (CGU) and at year-end they do not present any indication of impairment (see Note 19). In addition, the Group carries out regular individualised valuations of certain property for own use classified as “Land and buildings”. At year-end, the available valuations do not indicate the existence of any impairment.

Selected information about property, plant and equipment for own use is presented below:

(*) Sales made in previous years with sale and leaseback agreements include buy options that may be exercised by the Group on termination of the lease agreement at the market value of the offices at that date, to be determined where appropriate by independent experts (see Note 35).

(**) Some of the insurance policies have an excess. CaixaBank is the holder of a corporate policy subscribed with a third party that covers material damage to the Group's material asset.
