They will not be used for M&A as those shares would come from treasury and they are unlimited. You can think of that as you want, but that's it what it is since we are invested. And I don't mind if they are used for acquisitions which bring value into the company and therefore long term shareholder value. The options are only used as a bonus for Employees, be it from the BoD or the skilled workforce. But for that in my opinion the current 36 Mio are enough (as I said before), but that's only IMHO. But I think that no more options should be given at least below the 1,45 CAD or 1,75 CAD options of Ajit or even better the 1,99 CAD options of the other BoD members. In the end it's the cheap paper which always takes us back down (this time 40%) and causing all the fatigue with the retail shareholders which we are all feeling again after the THM. IMO it should be the last time but it won't if the company hand out another big chunk of options at these levels.
