Article 7.1.2: Publication of the Annual Financial Statements 2004 Publication of the Annual Financial Statements 2004 will not be made within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. Due to the Easter holidays in spring 2005, publication of the Annual Financial Statements will exceptionally be made at the beginning of April 2005. Performance-Linked Compensation of the Board of Management Compensation received by the members of the Board of Management of Pfleiderer AG comprises a fixed component and variable components. In addition to the variable bonus, members of the Board of Management may participate in the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan as a further variable long-term incentive component. The criteria applied when deciding to award options depend on the duties and performance of the individual board member, as well as the Company’s economic state, its success and future perspectives. These factors are calculated using Nopat and the Economic Value Added of the Group, as well as taking into account personal targets. In fiscal 2004, the Board of Management received compensation amounting to 3.222 million euros. This figure includes a variable component of 2.240 million euros. After adjustment for elapsed options to former board members, in 2004 members of the Board of Management received a total of 386,260 stock options which can be purchased at own cost. Stock Option Plan On July 10, 2001, the Pfleiderer General Meeting approved a stock option scheme which covers a maximum 4,268,500 no-par value shares (corresponding to 10 percent of capital stock) which may be issued as part of the Pfleiderer stock option scheme. The Company decides annually at its own descretion whether a stock option scheme is to be run, who will participate and how many shares each individual entitled to participate may receive. Stock options are issued on condition that the person entitled make an own investment in the Company. The stock options have a currency period of 6 years. The option may only be exercised for the first time 3 years after it has been granted. The number of stock options is calculated from the amount of the individual’s own investment in the Company, divided by a base value and then multiplied by a factor of 12. The base value is determined from the average price of the Company’s share in the months September through November. Stock options can be exercised when an exercise threshold of between 110–125 percent of the base value has been reached.
