Correct. And along with the buyout, they could buyout and retire the old garde along with their inadequately low priced stock options.

What I understand under stock price linked incentive:

I get a series of company stock options with strike prices beginning a percentage above the market price when granted, may run for some years and are exercised in a staggered, deferred manner. ...

Where's the incentive when directors get options with strikes in the few $ range??
What is the use for the company - they get only few bucks for the exercise instead of, say $10 to $20.

One of the many ifs: IF there were options for Paulsen et al. priced at $20 to $40, they would really put all efforts into getting NAVR and netradio on the run soon enough.

I really would like to see an options plan in which the management gets a premium in the $10s MM range for getting through a successful IPO - but not sought from the market long before any IPO is said and done. They talk the IPO since July last year.

Annette,
<<Do they spend their days wondering when to sell their stock options?>>
Well, it certainly looks like the CFO, Cheney, may fall into that category...
