which reflect expected future service, are estimated to be paid in the years indicated for both the
US Holdings and Cole plans:
December 31, (Euro/000)

2012-2016 1,503
Contributions -The expected contributions for 2007 are Euro 0.2 million for the Company and
Euro 0.08 million for the employee participants.
For 2006, a 12% (10% for 2005) increase in the cost of covered health care benefits was assumed.
This rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% for 2020 and remain at that level thereafter.
The health care cost trend rate assumption could have a significant effect on the amounts
reported. A 1% increase or decrease in the health care trend rate would not have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 5.75% at September 30, 2005, and 6.0% at
September 30, 2006.
