This excerpt taken from the SYT 20-F filed Mar 16, 2005. Employee Share Option Savings Plan In November 2002, a Share Option Savings Plan was introduced for all UK employees. Options are granted at an exercise price which represents a 15% discount to the market price on the Swiss stock exchange (SWX) before the offer. Options are exercisable over a six month period following either the third or the fifth anniversary of the grant date, depending on the choice made by the employee on applying to join the scheme, but may be exercised earlier in particular circumstances including redundancy and retirement. Vesting of options is conditional on employees remaining in service for at least three years and making monthly payments into the savings plan. F-49 The following table sets out activity under this plan during 2004, 2003 and 2002.
