The transaction date equals issued shares so they have to use the close that day to "book" the value as you can see below. So yes, booked all shares around 9 cents. Taxes? Not sure, I know the BOD's and Caldwell shares will have taxes due after restriction is lifted. Lanza's were different as his shares released at 1MM per month. The 135MM shares that were issued didn't cost any of them a dime so taxes are taxes...like the lottery. Hopefully the "interim" won't do the same. Lanza's shares booked under R&D, BOD's and Caldwell under G&A..
