To compute diluted earnings per share, the average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for the number of all potentially dilutive shares. The exercise phase of the 2004 tranche of the 2003 Stock Option Plan ended on 30 June 2009. Under the terms and conditions of the plan, all options and stock appreciation rights (SAR) belonging to this tranche that were unexercised as at 30 June 2009 expired. As a result, there were no further options for executives outstanding as at the closing date for the 2004 tranche (previous year: 2,726,658). In financial year 2009, the new executive bonus system (Share Matching Scheme) resulted in 389,585 rights to shares, none of which were dilutive.
