RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:CEI?All execs pay themselves at the expense of the shareholders. They don't work for free.
Stock options are a standard method of compensation for employees of corporations and can have the effect of incentivizing them to increase the value of the company's shares.
If VET was not paying them with stock they would have to pay them more in cash.
It is not noticed as much with companies that have much larger share floats than VET.
For example CVE and ENB have billions of outstanding shares. A few million here and there doesn't move the needle much.
Buybacks can slow or even reverse the dillution that this creates depending on how many shares are bought back and it saves on dividends paid out.
GLTY and all
