This is not a "new issue of shares", it is a replacement certificate because I never physically received the original, so the transfer agent dated a copy on the date the replacement was paid for. If you have questions about the certificate, contact inbox@cleartrusttransfer.com and they can answer anything you like confirmation on. As for the signatures, those were the two people who were required to sign the certificate when it was originally issued, so their signatures are the ones on this.
A lot of companies want to be generous to new employees and offer a stock option to new hires so the employee will be motivated with a vested interest in the company's future success. It was not a 'payment for services' - simply a hiring bonus. I think a lot of the programmers and tech staff were enticed and received share offerings with their hiring paperwork but I don't know who got what, although you could find out in the filings/annual reports. I personally was on call 24/7 for over 6 years for NanoTech, helping when needed in varied capacities from backend server setup, mirroring data from CDNs, troubleshooting code, handling some customer support, calling customers on the phone, website programming, backend database design, server and app security, Q/A, mentoring, supervising 3-4 people on specific tasks with Roku, Apple/iOS, Windows, scripting routines, billing systems, content management, database entry, reports, internal support, future enhancements, etc. Due to the technical aspects of my own history, and the desire to remain professional, I will not be answering further questions on this. I just hope that at some point my shares will be accepted and everything will work out for both the business and investors. I wish to avoid revealing any confidential or inside information, it's just how I can keep a clear conscience and be the upstanding individual I feel I need to be.
