Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

I am not sure that this sticks it to the new hires as you suggested (Paul Hauck, Vice President of World-Wide Sales and Support at Liquidmetal Technologies, Sean Angus, Manufacturing and Brandy McClay, Sales and Marketing Services Manager, as well as the others in the R&D sector, Glenton Jelbert, Joe Stevick and Stephany OKeeffe.

First of all, under Kang, there was no precedent for awarding shares to other than directors and officers of the Company.

Yes, Bill Johnson, as Vice President of Technology, did, but he was an officer and a director. Glenton Jelbert is not there yet; nor any under him.

Paul is not yet an officer or a director.

In the past under Kang and now under Steipp, there is no awards outstanding to any marketing types (i.e. Ogawa). Of course, you may consider Bromage as a marketing type, yes, but he is also an officer of the Company.

Second, There are sufficient shares set aside for awards from previous allotments via past proxies that these two potential officers: Jelbert and Hauck, may be granted stock options without dipping into the well again for quite some time.
