<If the price of the stock is $12, and an employee buys another share for $12, how can that be dilutive?> Admittedly, employee stock options is not my strong suit. When an employee excercises his stock options, the stock has to come from somewhere. Does it come from the corp. treasury? If so, then it would not be dilutive. If it comes from authorized but not issued, this would be dilutive. Once again, I ask you: What is the relevance of the price of the stock at the time of excercising as it pertains to dilution? If your right, I look forward to leaning the reason. If your wrong, suck up your pride and admit that you might have not have expressed yourself as you might have wished pertaining to your previous post.
