However, an amount of 1,000 euros remains to be realized in subsequent periods . For this reason, company "A" must complete, in the first table on page 22 of Form 200, column "Pending materialization of RIC in future periods", in the corresponding row to the RIC 2021 for the amount of 1,000 euros .
