Jeff, The SEC filing indicates that he exercised all the options at 5 1/16. Whether he had the cash at the moment or took out a loan, he is committed to pay for them. It appears the new stock cannot be sold until 1 or 2 years after it is paid for.

His existing 1 million sh was put up as collateral so I don't believe it can be readily sold either. In any case, it would not make sense to sell for less to pay for new stock at 5 1/16 especially if he is paying interest on the loan. Sounds a little like having bought on margin! I don't think he would have done it if he believed the stock was headed lower!
