Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Option Details:
- Recipients: James S. Molinaro (CEO) received options for 1,000,000 shares; Richard F. Fitzgerald (CFO) received options for 150,000 shares.
- Exercise Price: $0.70 per share, based on the closing price on the grant date.
- Vesting Schedule: Substantially equal annual installments over three years.
- Expiration: August 4, 2020.
Regulatory Contingency: The classification of these grants as "incentive stock options" under the Internal Revenue Code is contingent upon shareholder approval within 12 months of the grant date. The Company expects to seek this approval at its annual meeting in the third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2010. If approval is not obtained, the options will be treated as non-qualified stock options.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the outcome of the shareholder vote regarding the incentive stock option classification at the annual meeting.
- Confirm the total dilution impact of the increased share pool (3,000,000 shares) on existing shareholders.
