New News - confirmation of stock option grant

So another 1.4 Million options out there with 1/3 granted immediately.

What's interesting is the very last line "subject to a vesting acceleration clause under certain events".   The final 1/3 of their shares could vest before the 1 year under certain conditions - what are those conditions? Perhaps if the price hits a certain clip level.. or drilling timelines..  would like to know those.

I'm certainly no genious but would be pretty tough to do a reissuance now wouldn't it? I look at this as being very positive. lj

For those of us rookies out there, can you explain what you mean? Thanks
Comment by Rapsani on Mar 24, 2021 10:03am
Hi.. it means these 2 people received 1.4 million stock options in CGX at .82.   1/3 are execercisable now (so about 466,000 shares), which means they can sell up to 466,000 shares when the stock price is above .82 and cash in the difference.  Example, if we hit $2.00 a share, less .82 = $1.18/share profit x 466,000 shares = 1/2 million $ plus income.   Then in 6 months ...more

Great explanation Rapsani. Let's hope they are not hurting for cash.... I emailed OSC about the manipulation, they replied and stated IIROC will be looking into it. Not optimistic they will do anything though. How many times have we seen one or two shares traded every day. They are not blocks and does not affect the last price but it's the perception. I know of people who tried to buy ...more

Awesome you emailed them Soulfire. Let's see if they have the courge to actually act on this manipulation and end it. My guess is no... they are complacent in this activity and could care less.  Like seriously, 1 share trades always by National Bank. RBC always down-selling by 0.02-0.03 cents everytime any purchases are made higher. One could go on for a long time.  Let's see ...more
