You just brought out some new information that I was not aware of regarding restricted shares.
Oh no, you don't get away with this.
IDCC's restricted stock authorization is 3.5M shares. Outstanding is 900k+ shares. 2.5M+ shares are still available. You have been adding this 2.5M+ share number to a pool of options/rs/rsu/w to get a 5M+ number that you and others claim are still available for grant to support the argument that they don't need 5M more. That's misleading.
Removing this 2.5M+ restricted shares available reduces your estimate of available options/rs/rsu/w by more than half. Does that make your argument against the additional 5M options only half as relevant also?<g>
Remember that restricted stock and restricted stock units are currently considered as compensation and charged to earnings. Options are currently not.
