  Notes: (a) On the basis of information collected from participating companies, the US high-tech equity practices surveys provide information for the entire group of participating companies, as well as by size of company and by industry, on the distribution of stock options across different types of employee by hierarchical level, broad functional area (tech, non-tech, and sales), and salary level.

 (b) Of the other major telecommunications equipment companies, Marconi (GEC to December 1999), based in the UK, and Siemens, based in Germany, did not participate in any surveys. NEC Electronics, the microelectronics subsidiary of NEC, based in Japan, participated in the US high-tech equity practices survey in 1998, 1999, and 2000.
