I wasn't proposing they give us shares only options which give the recipient the right to buy a share in the future at a specific fixed price until a certain fixed date i.e one is still paying for the share- it is not a freebie.

What I do not like is the fact that certain people in Management who have mismanaged the finances may ,as a result ,get rewarded for putting the company into this situation..if they are given yet more options.

The people involved already have quantities of options- sold shares@ $15.60 some time ago- did not exercise any of their existing options to put money into the company before the price collapse,when it was  needed to give a show of confidence in their own stock, possibly seeing what was going to happen, and knowing the price would be lower than their existing options.

Declaration has already been made that executives and directors will participate in the LIFE deal,plus they will ,no doubt, get an additional bonus of  options as things currently stand. They will  be receiving a free warrant in the deal anyway.

Many people have supported this stock over years holding through years of unfulfilled and misleading hints and guidance.

The proposal to give options to loyal shareholders would seem to be an ideal way to say thank you to them
