In response to your thinking "Also, and people will hate me for saying this, I don't think management want's the share price to go up until the options are in at this great price."
Turr, as you can see in the link below, Management already received their options a few months early (April) this year already, last year they received them in June I believe. I think too many people are concerned with options being giving out again after the AGM, Instead, I would think they need to increase the pool so they can reward and incentivize the new hires they made and hopefully the new ones they're about to make.
