Regarding the increase of 25 million shares -- In the prospectus, here is a paragraph that us stockholders should be aware of.
"We are cognizant of the dilutive impact of our equity compensation programs on our stockholders, and our Compensation Committee balances this concern with the need to maintain competitive compensation practices and the need to attract and retain management talent. We believe that our Amended and Restated 2012 Plan is not excessively dilutive to our stockholders, as the 25,000,000 increase represents less than 4% of our outstanding common stock, and the Evergreen Increases are modest at 1% per fiscal year. According to materials provided by our compensation experts, the current dilution of our 2012 Plan (unvested shares and unexercised stock options and warrants granted as compensation, as a percentage of common shares outstanding) is below the 25th percentile of our peer companies, and total potential dilution even accounting for the 25,000,000 increase in shares keeps us below the peer 25th percentile."
So, given the current status of the company (i.e., developmental, no revs, huge potential), this increase in number of shares is not atypical of such a company's standing. I will vote yes.
