Under the old system, there was none of this. As far as the Maxim information, I would need to know what the rule is about expensing options. For example, it may be that when the options are granted, a company expenses the difference between the stock price and the option price. In this way, the expense deduction could be more than the exercise price. Stock price $10, exercise price $3 = $7 in expense, $3 in cash. However, I believe there is also a timing difference in that stock options aren't usually vested for several years. As such, the expense is associated with the granting of options while the cash is associated with the exercising of options. There would never be a correlation between the two in a given quarter.
