A performance-related long-term incentive program was approved on May 26, 2005 for the purpose of rewarding and
motivatingdirectors,executivesandtop-performingemployeesoftheCompanyanditssubsidiaries(the“Participants”).
The long-term incentive program is designed to enable the Company to attract and retain the best available personnel,
and encourage and motivate Participants to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its shares by
aligning their interests with those of the shareholders of the Company.
The Company also approved a share-based compensation package for non-executive directors.
Under the long-term incentive program, the Company may grant awards, at its discretion, using any of the two types of
equity-based compensation: (i) share appreciation rights and (ii) restricted share units, which are described below:
(i) Share Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)
An SAR entitles the holder to receive the appreciation in value of the Company’s share price above a
predetermined level.
(ii) Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)
An RSU is equal to the value of one ordinary share of the Company. Once vested, an RSU is converted to an
ordinary share.
Under the two types of compensation, the Company reserves the right, at its discretion, to pay the award in cash or
ordinary shares of the Company.
