Saurer does not issue stock to employees or Board members, unless acquired through the stock option<br />
programs.<br />
The Graziano stock option program pertains to Graziano stock. On a consolidated group level, the program<br />
in substance amounts to a phantom stock program resulting in cash compensation, since no<br />
Graziano stock is issued without being purchased back immediately.<br />
The basic philosophy of compensation for Senior Management can be summarized as follows:<br />
While the overall compensation over the midterm must be in line with the market, the yearly compensation<br />
should clearly reflect the financial results of the group or of the unit of responsibility. Variable elements<br />
(cash bonus and return from stock options) should constitute a significant portion of the total<br />
compensation.<br />
All cash bonuses are related to elements of profit (operating profit, net income) and of assets and cash<br />
management (net debt, return on net operating assets, selected assets).<br />
Saurer measures operating profit and net operating assets for all business units on a worldwide consolidated<br />
basis, which allows compensation for key figures such as asset turns and returns on net operating<br />
assets.<br />
All senior managers and managers of business units have several yearly objectives with pre-defined<br />
ranges of cash bonuses. The minimum of cash bonuses is zero.<br />
Compensation and objectives of Senior Management and business unit managers are defined between<br />
the CEO and the Chairman, and approved by the full Board of Directors once a year.<br />
