SOH RNS comment27 Mar 2019 17:49
I am surprised it hasn’t as yet been discussed but the chairman’s comment accompanying an RNS is often used to communicate with shareholders when they otherwise may not be able to. Now for me SOH is using the options RNS comments to say to us “look I understand your concerns (revenue), I do occasionally read the bb and am aware of short agendas but rest assured we are aligned and look Fred also thinks so coz he has joined the team on the basis of stretching but achievable targets”. Ok, innuendo, covert reassurance, make of it what you will but Trek is pleased that he took the opportunity to streeeeessss our concerns in his missive. Afterall he could have said much less...
“Stephen O'Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix, commented: "The ability to attract and retain key staff who deliver to revenue targets and build shareholder value is important to OptiBiotix's continued success. The granting of share options helps OptiBiotix compete with the remuneration packages offered by larger corporates and incentivises the team to focus both effort and activity on rapidly growing revenues and building shareholder value. These options are offered to staff and do not become exercisable (i.e. sellable) until they achieve significant revenue targets which, if achieved, will create substantive shareholder value".
Trek, between the lines, and it’s not a train coming!
