But wasn’t he paid over a million out the door?
And was he allowed to sell all his shares (rug pull)?
Seriously are you that new to this? He probably got more than that. Typically, when you leave an organization you must exercise your options, even the CEO, and typically severance packages are offered, especially to the CEO. As a reminder he and his wife were the cofounders. This can’t be news to you? Same will happen to R and S when their tickets are punched in the not too distant future.

When you leave an organization you must exercise your options. You are clueless about finance 101. Many people keep their options.

The severance was something like a million dollars out the door. Maybe you should research before outcrying without knowing anything.

Straight copied from his severance agreement. So keep acting like you know something about anything when you don’t.

“The Company will pay to you $970,312.50, less all applicable taxes and withholdings, as severance pay (an amount equivalent to eighteen (18) months of your 2021 base salary as CEO). ”

You are an idiot. You ‘keep’ your options by exercising them. You don’t just ‘keep’ them. A million dollar severance is not a lot. What point are trying to make, rather poorly?

They accelerated the vesting schedule of his options…perhaps you should have read the rest of the settlement that you Googled.

Maybe you should read what I wrote.

Exercising options is buying (and perhaps selling after). I don’t know the exercise price of his options, but the continued drop in the stock price questions whether exercising those options has been a profitable trade between his departure and March 31, 2025.

He owned shares outright outside of the options and since he is no longer an insider we have no visibility on whether he sold those shares.

Rug pull - when someone is provided mass liquidity and sells out leaving other holders with devalued shares.

You are a bigger idiot. You have an option to buy the stock when the stock price is hopefully a lot larger. He was given a window to sell his options at an earlier of March 31, 2025 or the original expiration date of the options. The word ‘option’ is the key term; you only execute when the option to buy is profitable. Else you would just own stock.

Stock price > strike = exercise and buy the stock
Stock price < strike = don’t exercise and let option expire

MK was not forced to exercise his options at his departure. They were vested and he had a window to execute them.

You are too stupid to reply to anymore. Or perhaps just really green, probably both.

Bottom line, he is no longer the CEO. Hasn’t been for a few years. The current CEO only made matters worse. Delisting will be here in March. Facts.

They will avoid delisting with a reverse split. Let’s see who is right in March. Come March you will find some other excuse, lobbing the same empty insults. Probably an MBA with your dribble about ‘models.’ Go put together a Venn diagram.

Empty insults? When did I insult R? Facts are not insults. Reverse split…good luck…that trick only works for a short amount of time. We already did the share exchange for employees…had zero impact on the share price.

You really do not understand corporate finance, do you? Perhaps hit Investopedia a little harder.

Curiously, why are you such a vigorous defender of R? You are in the vast minority with that support at this company and WS.

Oh…I think I know why.

No doubt that this an intern at Argot replying. It is well known that R has online reputation cleaners.

What excuses will be needed in March? Further dilution of the stock to save delisting? The enterprise value doesn’t change and the same problems the company has today, it will have then and the original point still holds, R has done nothing to fix anything.

Lastly, R was on the BOD prior to becoming CEO, so he knew EXACTLY what the problems were and what he was getting himself into. There should have been ZERO surprises for R and he had a huge jump start to fix them.

That makes his failures even more embarrassing.
