Share options
Effective October 1, 2004, the Parent Company introduced an executive share option plan. Share options will be granted to individuals
employed by the Parent Company or its subsidiaries in a senior capacity including directors holding any executive office with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries. Options are granted at the average market price of the shares in the calendar month prior to the
beginning of the applicable performance period and are exercisable at that price. Options are exercisable beginning three years from
the date of grant and have a contractual option term of three years. When the options are exercised, the proceeds received net of any
transaction costs are credited to share capital.
Movements in the number of share options outstanding and their related weighted average exercise prices are as follows:
