Outstanding Share (OS) count increase could come for a number of reasons. Bishop’s privately owned shares were already counted in the OS. Company owned shares (treasury stock) is not counted in Outstanding Shares. An increase in OS can come from Employee Stock Option which is exercised to buy a certain amount of company shares (treasury stock) at a predetermined price. Or the Company can sales shares to raise capital which could be used to pay a new employee or to purchase something.
