" That was from the 8K filed when Jacobs was hired. Yesterday's 10K is the first time we've been told Smith was issued those 100,000 shares by the company as a "Share Based Award" (coincidentally on the same day he was appointed COO "with no employment agreement"). They appear in his ownership filings and past JBII financials but we're left to guess how he got them. I always assumed they were $.80 PIPE shares because of the timing. This stock issuance now valued by the company at $555,000 made Smith the highest-paid JBII employee in 2010 by far - on paper. Those 100k shares were worth about $80k on Dec 31 so he theoretically now owes more in 2010 income taxes than the stock is worth."100,000 shares were issued to Jacob Smith on January 11, 2010. The closing share price on January 11, 2010 was $5.55." sec.gov Here's the 8k when he was appointed COO:On January 11, 2010, the Board of Directors of JBI, Inc., (the “Company”) appointed Dr. Jacob Smith as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.
