RE: RE: Not happy unless we're unhappy . . . Aves I don't think anybody has said who cares how much longer it takes. We all want the process to move at a reasonable pace. So Lee shepherd has options equivalent to less than 1% of the company's fully diluted share count. He is one of the main guys behind getting us the maximum payout. His value to the shareholders far exceeds his options. He is a very specialized professional with the experience needed to do the assigned task. Lee has basically been living out of his suitcase. How much is a year of your life worth? His options plus pay reflex this. Also remember that his confidence level is represented by his wife who now has an investment in Opel.
You can talk about how the $1b buyout used to get us $10 all you want but the fact remains that $1b would have been impossible to achieve last year so is it even worth bringing up over and over again?
There is no question that the shares issued in the $.235 private placement are making their way into the market but there is a finite supply. Over 40 million shares have changed hands since the beginning of Dec. With new US buyers the supply from the private placement will be gone very quickly in my opinion.
