JAMES, i also have some shares from the company i worked for, they were also a bonus at a reduced price and are locked in for 5 yrs so i dont pay the tax,these are not options as such as they were payed every quarter,only top management get the options at a price to reflect doing a good job and also paying less tax... if in 10 yrs they have doubled or trebled its just a way to pay them more without the public getting too upset at how many millions extra they can get .... and then blame the renumeration committee,for there 40% wage rise when the average worker got 2.1% with 5% inflation at the time,,i was shocked to find out when the high level chairman(multi billion pound company) was sacked but still payed,as he had a 5 yr contract so got payed 14mths pay for 3 weeks work, approx 3million inc bonus,s even though the company had been making huge loss,s for the last 3 yrs,,mmm. since then the share price has risen 45% so the millions in shares are now worth 5million,funnny enough after he was sacked he was able to retire.!
