RE:RE:RE:Options There is a long history with options here. If you go back in time, you will see that the majority of options were not exercised. Always issued at the market SP at the time with Five year terms.
If you were running your own company, and depended on selling equity to make a return without any salary etc, how would you feel if after 5 years you made zero while you paid your employees a competitive salary, bonuses and commissions? Would you feel like you had to give more incentives so that you can retain that cream of the crop?
Anyhow, no point of harping on the past. You saw the exercise of options at pretty well their Five-year deadline and in some cases all being immediately liquidated.
I would give the CEO even a million options exercisable at 30 cents in 2 years....just so that nobody gets a false impression that I am against options.
