Re: repricing. A company has many alternatives to effect a "repricing" without actually repricing. I have seen Intel do this twice. Each time they issued new options at new grant prices with new exercise dates (which were pushed out from the previous dates). The recipient could choose to either keep their current options with existing but closer in time exercise dates, or cancel current options and take the new options with pushed out dates (generally by 6-12 months). I saw Microsoft do a variant of this by just issuing additional options at the current price across the board based on some formula relative to existing options held.
