Details of the employee share incentive schemes are set out in note 34. Following the unbundling of Hulamin in 2007, the options granted to employees in terms of the original employee share option schemes which had not been exercised at the unbundling date were converted into two components, a Tongaat Hulett Limited component and a Hulamin Limited component, as described in note 34. At 31 March 2011 employees have an option to subscribe for 468 294 shares at an average price of R33,42 per share (2010: 667 500 shares at an average price of R32,85 per share) in respect of the Tongaat Hulett component and the equivalent of approximately 100 000 shares in respect of the Hulamin component (2010: 105 000 shares).

The original share option schemes were replaced in 2005 with a new share incentive scheme comprising the Share Appreciation Right Scheme 2005, the Long Term Incentive Plan 2005 and the Deferred Bonus Plan 2005.
