Plan Design Examples Including Stock Appreciation, Exchange Rate Fluctuation & Taxes – Example 1

Initial investment at subscription is €300

Reference price: €20 Discount: 20 % Subscription price (€20-20%): €16 Exchange rate at purchase: €1 = $1.15

Your investment request of €300 is rounded down to the nearest whole number of VE shares 300/€16= 18.75 18 shares X €16 (employee cost) = €288

Ordinary income tax on discount and match = 25% 25% x (€72 euros (18 shares x €4 discount) + €300 (match)) = €93 or $106.95 (€93 x $1.15)

€288.00 or $331.20

€288.00 or $331.20

Investment = €288.00 or $331.20 + $106.95 (tax) = $438.15

Plan Design Examples Including Stock Appreciation, Exchange Rate Fluctuation & Taxes – Example 1

At the end of the 5-year lock-up period

Reference price INCREASES 5%: Share price at redemption: €21.0 (+5%)

Exchange rate at redemption: €1 = $1.30 (+13%)

At the end of 5 yrs = €756 or $982.80 - $23.22 (capital gains tax) = $959.58

Performance: +119%

€378 or $491.40 €378 or $491.40

Calculation: €378 = €21.0 X 18 shares

$491.40 = €378 x 1.30

Calculation: €378 = €21 X 18 shares

$491.40 = €378 x 1.30

13

Assume capital gains tax of 15% on gain of $1 ($982.80 (36 shares x €21 x $1.30) - $828 (36 shares x

€20*$1.15 ) * 15% = $23.22
