Options are exercised after a considerable appreciation in a company's stock price. This is predicated upon granting such options while a company is languishing, or as incentive to attract talent. In DIMD, it it would be the former. Options granted would not be available for exercise at current stock values; the company has not achieved any growth in market capitalization that would suggest it. If options were granted several months ago, and exercised at a stock price several weeks ago, this would indicate trouble. In the event the option's time horizon lapses, in most companies, these are replaced with new contracts. This is available in proxy material for investor edification periodically. DIMD has many challenges ahead. It would be wise to recognize stock performance in light of these challenges. A stock will never respond to the limitations of human understanding that is clouded by emotion. Ahead, the company will find some footing, but expect some price decline near-term. P.S. I'll take a look, but I do not believe any selling was option inspired. This is available in many of the web based sites.
