Acutally, I am not sure whether Wolfgang is engaged in a 401k plan or he just 
enjoyes 'share based compensation' as in my case (not unusual these days in 
Germany). The company shares I buy I can sell the next day I have acces to. 
Wolfgang mentioned reporting in Euro, so my inital guess was that it is plain 
'share based compensation'.

Let's wait and see whether Wofgang gives more information.

Best regards,
Klaus
