VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 28, 2008) - WebTech Wireless Inc. (TSX:WEW), a leading provider of location-based and fleet telematics services, announces that it has completed a voluntary stock option cancellation program offered to all holders of stock options with an exercise price of $2.55 per share and above.
Under the terms of the program, options to acquire an aggregate of 2,301,014 common shares were voluntarily surrendered for cancellation by the holders. Following this cancellation, there are a total of 1,534,976 options outstanding with strike prices ranging from $0.47 to $1.50.
"With recent market turmoil and the related drop in our share price, this cancellation program provides management with the flexibility to issue incentive options to our staff in the future, without creating further dilution to our shareholders. This not only reduces our ongoing Stock Based Compensation expense, but creates a further shareholder benefit, as future grants will likely carry a lower cost per option than those cancelled," said Scott Edmonds, WebTech Wireless' CFO.
