Employee stock option plan
Nothing wrong with providing extra incentive to employees.
With " skin in the game " so to speak, this would behoove each employee
to go the extra mile. And they just might need to as things ramp up!
This is starting to get interesting..

Interesting?. Please I'd rather not watch paint dry at least it eventually dries. Over 3 years and still counting now.

Skin in the game would be $0.15 strike price vesting some time in the future.

"The plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company and the board on August 14, 2023." Was there a vote I wasn't aware of?

At the AGM held on July 29, 2022 there was a 90% in favour vote for the "Options Plan". I have not seen any evidence of an AGM for 2023 so presumably they are suggesting it was approved by shareholders at the 2022 meeting. And we know votes for Options at AGM's are always a shoo-in anyway, so it probably is a mean nothing issue.

The June 9 issue of 31.5M options is within a 12 month period from the AGM so presumably is a-ok? This new issue is outside the 12 month period and there is no announcement of a new AGM that I see. I don't know if there is a buffer zone or not.

It's not what they said! "The plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company and the board on August 14, 2023"

Maybe they had an AGM and just didn't announce it. :-))

The fact they're accepting compensation in form of stocks is a positive. They'll have to work harder since we are in this boat together now. If Everything explodes we share fate..

Employees accepting stock options aligns their incentives with shareholders, as they benefit from increasing the stock price. This shows confidence in future growth. Having skin in the game will motivate staff to perform at a higher level, ultimately rewarding us through execution.

I find the timing interesting and the fact these options are fully vested and.. a couple of years to ride these.. Hmmm.. Blast off soon? Money is a great motivator as we as investors know well. Don't think I'd want to be short DM right now. Just a hunch.
