RE:RE:RE:Granting of options is getting ridiculous

Thanks Develop. Rodayna wasn't appointed to the board until September 22, 2020, so the July 2020 option details were prior to her appointment.

I think Harjay's post has it right with the $3.88 avg:

I think the options were $4.41 which were staggered and the final 25% will be expiring July 2023.

Rodayna Kafal, in addition to her role as VP of Investor Relations and Strategic Business Development, is on the board of directors, and the options are compensation for that role and the effort behind it.

Also, these stock aren't just given, they are options that must be purchased. In this case, it's 100,000 shares, which if I recall correctly were granted at the option purchase price of $3.61 (I'd have to double-check, but I think that's correct).

So in order for Rodayna to get these 100,000 shares, she has to buy them, for $360,000.

I was looking and in December of 2021 peter was given just over 1.9M shares. Then in June this year 600,000 shares. No wonder he can sell so much! They just print them.

Others like R. kafal we're given 150k shares. This is on top of their salaries. At a price of ajout $2 a share that's 300k in stock options. Isn't that ridiculous?

we need to end this as shareholders. It's completely devaluating our shares. If the company can't afford to pay it as salary it shouldn't print shares as a mean of compensation. Get the company profitable management!

The company's performance does not warrant any stock options like this.
