Mika,

Your post heading is evidently not interesting enough.

I expected half a dozen threads, so I believe the whole subject isn't interesting enough... Indifferent

Millemissen:

Fortuitous that they could take up share options a few days before an announcement was made making the share price jump?

Have I misread the share option announcement that came out a couple of days ahead of the potential sale announcement?

I don't think so - but I believe they were obliged to do the latter to avoid any possibility of getting into trouble with insider trading regulations. So the discussions are probably serious enough for the first time.

The other thread degenerated quickly, I'm sure I've read it a dozen times before...

Issuing share options to management just ahead of a company announcement that was bound to affect the share price and of which the management was presumably aware of looks just like insider dealing.
