sebl: the problem is the program is only for options $40. and above, and you get almost 1/3 of a current share for them. (sebl in the mid-5s) Everybody is going to take this, it was structured to encourage the deal.

I also wonder if the $1.85/share price was set when sebl was trading at higher levels - it just hit the 5s recently.

Under its innovative deal, San Mateo-based Siebel offered workers $1.85 a share for every stock option with an exercise price of $40 or more.

This is outrageous thievery of non-insider stock holders. If the options are worth anything, they should be sold at CBOE or other option exchange. If they are not worth $1.8, why should the non-insiders pay for the follies of insiders, instead of sharing the fortune both on the way up and on the way down.
