Equity compensation plans not
approved by security holders
Total 4,124,470 19.20 2,432,681
(1) Includes stock options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan, the Director Stock Option Plan and the 1996
Incentive Plan. In addition, we had 320,900 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding under the 2005
Incentive Plan.
(2) The common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options granted under each shareholder-
approved plan are as follows:
2005 Incentive Plan 1,857,350
Director Stock Option Plan 372,500
1996 Incentive Plan 1,894,620
(3) The common shares available for issuance under each shareholder-approved plan are as follows:
2005 Incentive Plan 2,385,072
Director Stock Option Plan 47,609
1996 Incentive Plan
The 1996 Incentive Plan terminated on December 31, 2005. The number of common shares available for issuance
under the 2005 Incentive Plan is adjusted annually by adding 0.75% of the total number of issued common shares
(including treasury shares) as of the start of each of our fiscal years that the 2005 Incentive Plan is in effect. Additionally,
the common shares shown in the above table and footnotes do not reflect the additional common shares that will be
authorized for issuance under the 2005 Incentive Plan if our shareholders approve the amendments to the 2005 Incentive
Plan (in which case, no additional awards will be made under the Director Stock Option Plan).
See the “Stock Ownership - Ownership of Our Common Shares by Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
section of this Proxy Statement for additional information with respect to security ownership of certain beneficial
owners and management.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE
AMENDMENTS TO THE 2005 INCENTIVE PLAN.
