Repricing Stock Options Can't do anymore under accounting rules without taking a hit to earnings. So, companies that do not want to take the hit grant new options (which must be entirely unrelated to the old) in order to retain people if their stock tanks. I believe MSFT issued another passel of options at around 68 to its employees in April, shortly after Rick Sherlund of Goldman said not to expect barnburner growth going forward and drove the share price down from 80. If the stock go back up, employees get the spread between 68 and the price of their new options and perhaps more if their old options go ITM. saukriver
