Remuneration of the Executive Board

The Company decided to expand its existing disclosure of the cost incurred for conditional awarded shares of the Executive Board during the year. The required disclosure could be derived from the information provided in the 2010 Annual Report, but was not explicitly disclosed as required by IAS 24 paragraph 16 and section 383c Book 2 Title 9 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Therefore, the required disclosure over 2010 is presented below. As the cost incurred do not reflect the value of the vested shares, the Company also will disclose the value of the vested shares on December 31.
