With regard to the figures shown in the above table, it has to be
considered that benefits from the stock option plans only arise if
the Daimler share price exceeds the hurdle which has been indi-
vidually defined for each stock option plan and if the owner of the
stock options realizes an exercise. As variable compensation,
only the difference between the reference and exercise price of
the respective stock option plan is paid out. The following aver-
age exercise price is only a statistical factor, which results from
the weighted average of the exercise prices shown in the table
for the basic terms of the SOP. The sum of rights shown here is
calculated from the addition of the different amounts of options
that were granted in the years 2000 to 2004.
