Perhaps someone here can clarify... sec.gov The above S8 was filed Nov. 4th, 1997 to register shares for Syquests stock incentive plans. It appears that at least one of the plans was approved by the board in July of 1997, but shareholder approval was scheduled for Nov. 5th, 1997?! Why did they file to register the shares one day before the shareholder vote? The S8 refers to a Stock Incentive Plan (5,114,019 shares) and an Employee Stock Incentive Plan (5,000,000 shares). There was no such breakdown in the recent DEF 14A. The DEF 14A only mentioned the Stock Incentive Plan. So what's the difference between the two? Furthermore, the DEF 14A... sec.gov only mentioned 4,000,000 shares allocated for the Stock Incentive Plan, yet the S8 says they registered a total of 10,114,019 shares for the two plans? What's the deal? mark_b

Re: >>>200 MB super floppy - I heard this will be introduced sometime in 1998. Considering that it can read the 3.5 floppy, it could ultimately replace the zip as preferred standard. I don't see this having any impact on Syquest products.<<< I believe the drive would certainly impact the EzFlyer 230 when it ships. (it's planned to ship in the spring). Of course, the EzFlyer might be obsoleted by then. Regards - Dale
