Hi GV, RE: "If you reprice options that sends the clear message to shareholders that execs will reward themselves whether things go well or not." Excellent point. I guess that's why the top 3 didn't get refreshes. (But they probably should have extended that policy to a bit of an extent to the 3 in John F's post.) I have a question: setting aside appearances, between the two (refresh vs reprice), isn't a reprice actually better for us investors than a refresh? (I'm asking.) A refresh takes away shares, while a reprice doesn't. Right? What do privately held startups generally do? Reprices or refreshes? (and which one is more ethical for a private firm) Regards, Amy J
