Abolishment of Stock Options

Tax benefits for stock options foresee that the advantage of exercising the option remains tax exempt to a certain extent if the value of the participation, at the time the option is granted, does not exceed € 36,400. Gains are tax-free up to 10 % per year, in total at a maximum of 50 %. This tax benefit applies to options granted before 1 April 2009 for the last time.
