Once the money is allocated, the distribution process is as follows:

First distribution In general, during the year following the broadcast, the funds collected for the territory and period concerned are distributed to the Rightsholders.

Final distribution Usually three years after the first distribution, unclaimed royalties are distributed on a pro rata basis to the Rightsholders who have already been paid in the past for the given country and broadcasting year. From then on, there is no possibility to claim payments for that given country and broadcasting year. Funds allocated to broadcasts of works in conflict are excluded from the final distribution, and are set aside, pending conflict resolution.

Mark-up distribution If funds collected in a given country are not large enough to justify the precise but costly distribution process, they are set aside in a so-called "mark-up" account. These funds are added up and then spread over AGICOA's Rightsholders pro rata of the amounts allocated to them in all other distribution runs throughout the year.

General reserve distribution Funds coming out of the general reserve are distributed to the Rightsholders pro rata of the amounts allocated to them in all other distribution runs throughout the year.

The mark-up and general reserve distributions are made at year end.
