1 The figures shown here comprise the pay-out of the 2003 Medium Term Incentive and the divi-
dend equivalent of the phantom shares from the 2004 Medium Term Incentive as well as from
the 2005 and 2006 Performance Phantom Share Plans. The so-called Medium Term Incentive is
a share based compensation component that was replaced by the Performance Phantom Share
Plan in 2005.
2 In addition, options were exercisable from the stock option plans granted in prior years: two Board
of Management members exercised a total of 148,000 options from 2003 Stock Option Plan.
The figures in this column also include the variable compensation with long-term incentive effect
paid in this context (Mr. LaSorda €447 thousand, Mr. Ridenour €401 thousand). Further details
of directors’ dealings are given in the Corporate Governance Report. Further information on stock-
based compensation can be found in Note 23 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
