It seems to me the new option plan shouldn't be effected by the RS as it would be voted in after the event. As the stock split takes place prior to the ASM, the split shouldn't effect the 15 million for options as they wouldn't be in existance or take effect until voted in. The option package hasn't even been voted in on the RS effective date.
they have been waiting on their options since last year
Why wait? They have millions of them they haven't exercised. Some as low as 34 cents.
