PaulNESS, if your feelings are correct, then it would be criminal. You have implied that Management would purposefully keep the price of stock down so they could benefit from the options. Are you crazy? People would go to jail for that kind of behavior. And anyway, with the proposal that is being presented, the so-called compensation committee can set the terms at any level they desire.
You need to engage your brain before allowing your fingers to make such felonious accusations. Are you actually a closet basher?
Also this new PR sounds like the tip of the iceberg, and I get the feeling that big news is being held back until after the share holders meeting .
And why pay more for stock options.
The exercise price of each incentive stock option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Common Stock on the date of the grant.
