options don’t really “expire” per se upon acquisition. top management usually has acceleration of vesting upon a change of control. for others, options in the old company are typically converted into options in the acquiring company.

main point being that seeing an acquisition on the horizon is usually cause to hold onto shares, not sell them.

I see from an edgar filing that they are doing another private placement (dated 10/18/07) at below market pricing. congratulations, everybody else just got diluted a bit.

Dahldorf is the CFO. Huennekens, the CEO only owns 50,600. Bergheim, the CH., only owns 2,126 directly? All have been regular sellers. interesting that insiders continue to cash out their options, especially Dalhldorf (as of 8/7/07 owns zero according to Yahoo), if the company is to be bought out per Skousen. i’m sure some of the options expire, but all of them?
