at 100% of the grant price (£10.70). A share price of £21.40 would
deliver the maximum gain. Johnson Matthey has put in place an
automated process for the exercise of 2005 share options which means
that, provided the participant has consented, options are
automatically exercised when the share price reaches £21.40.
Both Mr Carson and Mr Pentz have previously consented to take part
in this automated process. Accordingly, their options were exercised
yesterday at £21.40.
