Option Exercises and Year-End Values

This table shows aggregate exercises of options during 2003 by the Named Executive Officers and the aggregate year-end value of the unexercised options held by them. The value assigned to each unexercised "in-the-money" stock option is based on the positive spread between the exercise price of the stock option and the fair market value of Duke Energy Common Stock on December 31, 2003, which was $20.45. The fair market value is the closing price of a share of Duke Energy Common Stock on that date as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape. The ultimate value of a stock option will depend on the market value of the underlying shares on a future date.
