RE:RE:RE:RE:ConsultantDo you guys even know how options work? Nobody has agreed to pay $9 million for 800000 shares, this consultant gets a free ride on 800000 shares. He/she doesn't pay a dime unless the share price goes above the exercise price and they choose to exercise the options. Look at the value of this option deal - if the share price goes up by $1.25, the consultant makes $1 million. For no risk. No capital riding on this. It's a huge deal to get a call on $9 million worth of stock. I hope the consultant is worth it!
and yes, the consultant will most likely be paid for their services while they wait to (hopefully) make a killing on their options.
