My guess is these shares, if issued to Downshire, may be returned to MCCY in exchange for Rh not pursuing damages due to alledged activities of Downshire. Saves time, legal fees, reputations, etc. Downshire returns any stock received by MCCY in exchange for a dismissal of any and all events that took place while DS headed up IR.
Good point Doog, just curious how that works, if there's a clause if the contracted party failed to fulfill certain expectations or any wrong doings were discovered.
