The MonteCarlo method is used to price in the characteristics of certain secondarygrants linking options to the performance of the BNP Paribas sharerelative to a sector index.The implied volatility used in measuring stock option plans is estimatedon the basis of a range of ratings prepared by various dealing rooms.The level of volatility used by the Group takes account of historicalvolatility trends for the benchmark index and BNP Paribas shares overa 10-year period.Stock subscription options granted on 8 March <strong>2007</strong> were valued atEUR 14.57 and EUR 12.90 depending on whether or not they are subjectto performance conditions (compared with EUR 15.36 and EUR 14.03,respectively, for stock subscription options granted in 2006).
