ANNEX
I. STATUTES OF THE LEON BERNARD FOUNDATION Article 3
The "Léon Bernard Foundation Prize" shall consist of a bronze medal and a sum of 2500 Swiss francs, which shall be awarded whenever the accumulated interest on the Foundation's capital amounts to a net sum of not less than 2500 Swiss francs, after deducting the total cost of striking the medal.
However, the interest will, in the first place, be appropriated to cover expenses incurred by the creation of the Foundation, including the manufacture of steel dies for the medal.
II. STATUTES OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES HEALTH FOUNDATION COMMITTEE
Article 8 The Prize
1 • The Prize shall consist of a certificate of award and a sum of money, together with a plaque from the Founder, which shall be awarded not more often than once in each year, derived from the interest on the Foundation's capital. The initial sum of money shall be determined by the Foundation Committee at its first session. This sum may be adjusted upwards from time to time by the Committee, based on the changes in the capital of the Foundation, variation in interest rates and other relevant factors.
2. If the Prize is awarded to more than one person, an institution or institutions, or a nongovernmental organization or organizations, the sum of money shall be proportionately distributed between them.
