The weighted average remaining contractual life for cash-settled options outstanding as at 30 September 2015 is 2,0 years
(2014: 2,36 years).
The range of exercise prices for options outstanding at the end of the year was R281,00 to R399,25
(2014: R130,59 to R299,83).
The weighted average share price at the date of exercise was R366,96 (2014: R291,39).
Cash options were valued using a modified Black-Scholes model taking into account the dividend cover, expected
exercise pattern and volatility of the Tiger Brands share price. Subject to certain performance conditions, one-third of the
cash-settled share options vest on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates from the date of the original grant
date. All the cash-settled options mature six years after the grant date.
