Beats me if its legal. If some sort of language was included that the company considered and estimated either choice to be equal.........it might come closer to being unchallenged.

Lizzie, You want more? Got to have a plan b right? So you know how these companies have been buying back stock on the open market? And the shares go into Treasury stock, as in aren't cancelled. And the company usually includes some language in the buyback disclosure footnotes that "to be used for employee stock options issuance"? IGOTyourOptions.com (symbol IGOT) buys back $2 billion worth of stock on the open market, or 200 Million shares averaged at $10 apiece. Issues same shares in options out to employees. Exercisable at $12. Employee has to pay in $2.4 Billion to exercise. WE GOT GAINS now? No?
