kudos for you to be asking a very legit question on Donner. The fact that these show as options purchased in an aqusition on the public market definately would lead one to ask what these transactions are. Since Donner does not show publicaly listed options to purchase and it would be rare to see co. insiders buy public options, and according to Canadian Insiders, an options grant is not considered a public transaction and not normally listed as such, and the fact that the strike price is lower than this public transaction would also lead you to question it. Also if it is this grant of options, then why declare it as a public aquisition and again, if it is a grant of options would this not lead you to question why they were picked up now when there was a year to do so. That would at face value look to be very favourable and a big vote of confidence on the part of the insiders. The co. will be the only one able to answer this, but like I said even though the brillant minds on the other board made it sound like it is simple fact, it's not because this would not be a normal way to declare the pickup of granted options and it leads to some procative thought as to why if this is the granted options, were they declared in such a manner, why the strike price shows more than the granted strike price and why they were picked up a full year in advance...poss news expected??? I didn't see the talking heads clue in to that. Anyhow, definately raises questions imo and a good catch on your part. The answer may well be just the granted options but the other questions should be answered as well...
