I suggest that the most appropriate terminology would have been that the options were granted to her and as such she received them.
The words "acquisition" and "disposition" are used by the OSC (SEDAR) to indicate that an individual has 'bought' or 'sold' common shares, preferred shares, debentures, or whatever.
Therefore, like BR, I first concluded from the original statement that the new Director was so excited at receiving her new Directorship that she rushed out and bought a big bag of shares on the open market.
Keep up the good work, BR!!!!
