Gleisdorf (euro adhoc) - After obtaining the required authorization
from the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on March 26,
2008 the company plans to acquire own shares in order to offer them
for acquisition to all employees, including all Management Board
members, in the course of a stock option programme.

The number of options will differ in line with the functions of the
individual employees. Over the next five years, the intention is to
grant 10,000 options to each member of the Management Board, 5,000
options each to Segment managers, 2,500 options each to Business Area
managers, 1,200 options each to members of the technical management
hierarchy and 500 options each to all other employees. Taking into
account an increase in the number of employees and the members of the
Management Board, a total number of around 300,000 options is
foreseen. In all cases, this will be less than 10% of the shares
issued, totalling 375,000, in order to ensure that the maximum
permitted limit of 10% of own shares is not exceeded.

The stock option programme envisages that every employee to whom
options are allotted should acquire the shares at the price, which
existed at the time of the granting of the option. This will give
each employee with an option entitlement under the stock option
programme, the opportunity to benefit from any price gains occurring
between the granting and exercising of the options. No further
conditions are attached to the exercise of the options, in particular
neither the achievement of a specific share price target, nor the
achievement of certain minimum results by the company.

The stock option program will provide an annual window for the
exercise of the options lasting for 14 days after the publication of
the annual financial statements on the company homepage.

It is foreseen that this stock option programme will be agreed
jointly by the Supervisory and Management Boards.
