RE: Share options if taken out21 Jul 2019 10:15
If there was a sale
The sale would be agreed in such a way that the share options can be taken up as part of the deal
If not converted like for like at the same date into shares for a equal sums in the purchasing company
Either way a d of course the third way they just keep improving the company the BOD will do very nicely
It's pretty positive but options I have found are really only taken when a person wishes to sell them
They are like yearly bonus,s incentives to stay a replacement for dividends when the company arent giving any
A lot of people will be screaming for them to be taken but the reality is that the person sat with them probably has mortgages,kids to put through uni and as we all know money you earn always seems to get spent
If the options can be deferred then it's like a rainy day cash pot just waiting to be unlocked with a few pounds for a good reward
Does it improve a persons efforts for the company???
To be frank options,dividends ,bonuses I've had them all then ive seen people have them
Did it make them work better did it make them improve the company or even stay?
Not really they were naturally the better people in the company as they rose and frankly it was expected
The company only gained from them staying in that it saved on headhunting costs,expenses
People will move on for lots of other reasons than money
So options are positive but at the end of the day cash in hand is king
