We don't know if he didn't pursue the amex/nasdaq listing- just that we are not listed. As to his being allowed to vest in the 2mio shares, well why would he do that if he can buy them now for way less? ( IMO if he buys anything now he has to lay out the cash. If he can raise the share price and sell for more he doesn't have to lay out any cash with risk ) Many good things happening with this announcement IMO.
