28 – Equity compensation plans continued
(ii) Share awards
The fair value of the awards was estimated on the date of grant, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
Weighted average assumption 2005 2004
Share price 632p 528p
Expected volatility* 41% 46%
Expected volatility of comparator companies’ share price* 44% 50%
Correlation between Aviva and competitors’ share price* 64% 55%
Expected life 3.0 years 3.0 years
Expected dividend yield 4.0% 4.7%
Risk free interest rate* 4.7% 4.5%
*For awards with market-based performance conditions.
The expected volatility used was based on the historical volatility of the share price over a period equivalent to the expected life of the
options prior to its date of grant.
The risk-free interest rate was based on the yields available of UK government bonds as at the date of grant. The bonds chosen were
those with a similar remaining term to the expected life of the options.
