Restricted cash on 31 December 2021 was composed of bank guarantees on real estate lease obligations in Belgium and in the Netherlands for €1.0 million, and €0.4 million, respectively.

Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss at 31 December 2020 consisted of equity instruments of both listed and non-listed companies. During 2021 all equity instruments of listed companies were sold. We have no restrictions on the sale of these equity instruments and the assets are not pledged under any of our liabilities. These instruments are designated as financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the equity instrument in the non-listed company which was originally determined mainly by reference to the initial transaction price (classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) has been reduced to nil at 31 December 2021.

Fair value changes on financial assets with fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other financial income/other financial expenses.

The table below illustrates these financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss as at 31 December 2021 and 2020.
