Stock option plans 10.4 Compagnie de Saint-Gobain has stock option plans available to certain employees. The Board of Directors grants options allowing beneficiaries to obtain Saint-Gobain shares at a price set, at no discount, by reference to the average of the opening prices for the Saint-Gobain share over the 20 stock market trading days preceding the date of the decision by the Board of Directors. For all of the plans, options may only be exercised after four years vesting period. During this period, none of the options received may be exercised. Options must be exercised within ten years of the grant date. Except in specified circumstances, grantees forfeit these options if they leave the Group. Among the plans outstanding at December 31, 2017, plans launched between 2008 and 2012 offer subscription options

while the 2013 plan offers purchase options. For plans launched between 2014 and 2017, the Board of Directors has decided that it would determine the type of option (subscription or purchase) at the latest on the day before the start of the exercise period, with any options exercised prior to such decision considered as subscription options. Until 2008, options were subject to a performance condition for certain grantees only. A performance condition applies for all grantees in plans awarded since 2009. For options granted under the 2017 plan, the value used to calculate the 30% contribution sociale tax due for grantees employed by French companies in the Group is €5.06 per option granted.
