granted to this non-executive director under the previous remuneration policy.

executive directors.

All rights and rewards are subject to the rules of the respective share         
incentive plans, as approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held 
on 16 August 2005.                                                              
Approval for the individual allocations and clearance to transact has been
