Notes
(a)
This is the number of shares initially awarded. In accordance with the plan rules, the number of shares
awarded is determined based on the average of the daily closing price for the preceding financial year. Of this
number of shares initially awarded, 25% under the PSP and 35% under the TSR plan would be released for
achieving position eight in the peer group. No shares would be released for achievement of position nine or
below.
(b)
This number reflects the maximum number of shares that could be awarded based on the vesting schedule.
Under the PSP, the maximum would be 100% of the target award. Under the TSR plan, this would be 150%
of the number of shares initially awarded. The entire amount of these shares would only be released for
achieving position one or two in the peer group.
(c)
The three-year performance period for the September 2006 TSR plan award ended on 30 June 2009. The
number of shares released in September 2009 was 0% of the initial award. This was based on a relative TSR
ranking of position 11 in the peer group at the end of the performance period. Kepler Associates
independently verified the TSR increase and ranking.
