ANNEX TO RESOLUTION No. 27/2002 (IV.26)
On 26th March 2002, Matáv has published that one of the agenda items on the General Assembly to be held on 26th April 2002 is the introduction of a new share option program. The Matáv Management Comitee has accepted the financing structure of the management share option program. The Matáv long-term management share option program that has started 1st July 1998, is to expire 30th June 2002, therefore it is necessary to start a new program. The new share option program which is due to start in June/July 2002 does not effect the other, presently live incentivisation structures and their conditions . In the program, approximately 320 top and middle managers, who, according to their grade within the organisation will receive a certain number of options. The options will be issued annually, in three tranches in three consecutive years. In the three issues, options will be issued to management, altogether for 17 million shares. Each option will have an expiry of 5 years. The issued options cannot be exercised in the first year dating from the issue, thereafter starting in June/July1/3 of the options become exercisable, another 1/3-1/3 become exercisable in June/July in the third and the fourth years, respectively. The exercise (strike) price will be the lower of either the prevailing market price at the issue of the program or the monthly weighted average price + at least a 10% premium, together with the inflation impact. Matáv will issue the shares necessary for the share option program (in total 17 million new shares) in three steps (2002/2003/2004) simultaneously with the issue of the options in the form of a private placement to a third party at the prevailing market price or at the most at a 10% premium to the market price. During the 3-year peroid; 4.9 million shares in 2002, 5.6 million shares in 2003 and 6.5 million shares in 2004 will be issued. Matáv will use the proceeds from the sale of the shares to buy the same amount of shares as the total number of newly issued shares from the involved third party at the same price, or a slightly adjusted price to include the third party's transaction cost. Matáv will keep these shares as Treasury shares until they are used through the exercising of options. Upon exercising their options, employees will receive the shares, whereas the shares not used until the end of the program will be cancelled by Matáv.
The program is structured - both from the operative and the financing side 'so that it will not effect the US GAAP/IAS P/L accounts. The share number during the years of the program will increase by maximum 17 million shares, which assuming a given earnings figure will give a maximum EPS dilution of 1.61%.
