It's obviously all based on personal situations - if goods news is forthcoming (particularly re revenue/profitability) then, as with anything, the sky is the limit. Personally I believe it will all hinge on the board's personal situations and their own shareholdings/goals !
Long term I firmly believe this company will not continue in it's current format, if at all ! Once they reach profitability, or maybe even a significant uplift in revenue, big players (prob Arysta) will take more interest in the whole company, and more so it's complete product portfolio and IP. At this point it may become a case of achieving the best possible sale SP for the board to accept walking away with their shareholding profit and therefore recommend it to the shareholders - that is why I suggest the 45p minimum target that Arysta invested at in 2011 - after any sale the company would possibly concentrate on becoming a straightforward R&D entity or maybe just call it a day completely
The 25p is a relevant trigger point as DJ has a significant tranche of share options @ 25.5p and JB has options @ 24.25p therefore they will not personally benefit until the SP passes these baseline points
I personally do not believe PI will continue indefinitely, particularly commercially, as in hindsight the commercial scenarios have been the difficulty moving the SP along, they have not /do not have the resources to be a significant commercial presence in this particular market and even once they have 'cashed in' on any success/sale I do not believe the board would reinvest to possibly go down the same route again
Regarding the 'whole' PI story I still hope the 45p level is an absolute minimum, I have hopes the £2 SP that PB muted are still achievable if we can move along at pace before finances become an issue again and the board dig their heels in and continue for a period once the sales traction is gained - this clearly would enable them to continue in employment with PI (presumably on better terms/bonuses) until an even better deal could be negotiated as the company would be increasing in value daily but this would then hinge on the ability for the company to function regarding the increased commercial activity with it's exicting resources, or whether it chooses to reinvest in it's structure
