Coming from two teachers...may I make one grammatical correction...everyone does it so don't feel badly...
Amount refers to a quantity not measure able in tangible units... Such as liquid or gas. Shares are individual units so amount doesn't work... Number of shares instead of amount of shares...
Sorry... I hear my mom now..."They are murdering the King's English!!!"
