In addition, the Committee made annual

to the Plan are comprised of (a) performance shares ("PS"), which are valued
based upon the Company's return on equity during two three-year performance
cycles, and (b) restricted stock of Dexia ("Dexia shares"). The awards
were as follows:
|
Robert P. Cochran..............
|
34,000 PSU Comprised of : |
30,600 PS and 17,065 Dexia shares |
|
Séan W. McCarthy.............
|
26,000 PSU Comprised of : |
23,400 PS and 13,050 Dexia shares |
|
Bruce E. Stern ................... |
9,000 PSU Comprised of : |
8,100 PS and 4,517 Dexia shares |
|
Russell B. Brewer II...........
|
9,000 PSU Comprised of : |
8,100 PS and 4,517 Dexia shares |
|
Joseph W. Simon.................
|
9,000 PSU Comprised of : |
8,100 PS and 4,517 Dexia shares |
The performance share units are allocated
as follows:
·
33-1/3% of the performance shares are allocated to the three-year
performance cycle beginning January 1, 2007 and ending December 31,
2009, with a 2.5-year vesting period and three-year restricted period for
33-1/3% of the awarded shares of Dexia restricted stock; and
·
66-2/3% of the performance shares are allocated to the three-year
performance cycle beginning January 1, 2008 and ending December 31,
2010, with a 3.5-year vesting period and four-year restricted period for
66-2/3% of the awarded shares of Dexia restricted stock.
The Committee determined that the Dexia
restricted stock would be valued at the average actual purchase price paid by
the Company for such shares when purchased on the open market (for purposes of
funding 2007 Dexia restricted stock awards for all employees), which equaled
approximately $29.80 per share.
