Q: Can you comment on the ballooning Stock based Compensation given to the CEO
I assumed this compensation was in the form of options which could be said to incentivize management, but that is not the case. They are being compensated in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), meaning units that could be converted to stock at market value after a certain period, without management having achieved anything. This compensation is in addition to their equity, existing options, and salaries, all of which are substantial. The board essentially gave them free money, no strings attached. I don't know how this could be seen to benefit shareholders. If you know, please tell me
