I agree; if this BOD has any self-awareness at all, and they are willing to admit to themselves that they put a deal-making interim CEO in, gave him a raise, gave him a retention bonus, are giving him a golden parachute...and it was simply a waste of 10 months...they should extend the warrants a year.
If a deal is in the works and to be announced under KB, that changes.
This BOD has no self-awareness at all.
