I would like to add a little query for Lunch. Could it be possible that he is taking cash now to exercise all of his options. The options I believe are taxable as a benefit and would not be eligible for capital gains exemption. If the stock is about to take off would you not want to have any gains in the 50% tax free column instead of income. Exercising now would keep the taxable benefit lower and the capital gain higher. Weigh in please.
