(e) Fair value of options and awards granted after 7 November 2002
The weighted average fair value of options and awards granted during the year, estimated by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, was £2.35 and £6.70 (2005: £1.88 and £4.50) respectively.
(i) Share options
The fair value of the options was estimated on the date of grant, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
Weighted average assumption 2006 2005
Share price 781p 618p
Exercise price 593p 491p
Expected volatility 26% 35%
Expected life 3.82 years 3.81 years
Expected dividend yield 3.70% 4.10%
Risk-free interest rate 4.80% 4.20%
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 on 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.
No options granted after 7 November 2002 wereexercised during the year (2005: nil).
