Iflhdy, I am hoping the SP reverses soon. This is a quality company and unfortunately we are being beaten down. There may be some Longs tiring of waiting for the "$2" or Nasdaq...I am sure that shareholders reading that Leandro's salary more than doubled to $174K, Alvaro's went from $25K to $159K and Juan Carlos' went from $28.5K to $80K, are a tad incensed, in addition to the $1.075mil bonuses these 3 received. (2020 to 2021) - both the raises and bonuses can be upsetting.

I have been the recipient of stock options for years - that said, every one comes with a 2-3 year wait before the shares vest. If they want to offer compensation in the form of shares, fine, but with the caveat that they are held for 2-3 years.

In a 3rd world country, $100K is a lot of money!

To put this in a bit more perspective: The $800K cash for SmartBiz could have been paid for with their bonuses, and the option for shares could've been reduced to around $700K. I don't like the 6 month hold - too short in my opinion.

When shareholders/investors see the executive members and BOD taking shares as compensation, they feel stronger about the company

Hopping off my soapbox folks. I am still long on this one - the fundamentals have not changed, but I certainly hope that future compensations do change.

Best to all longs...speak your mind objectively, and don't get discouraged...this is still a great company!
