So I printed last year's statement for Art and obs
Post# of 72440
1) the Common Stock Acquired is exactly the same as last year
2) the Stock Option amounts are exactly the same as last year
So, so far, I will conclude that this is just part of Art's annual compensation package. He gets:
1,066,667 stock each year
and
617,839 options each year
I do not see anything that suggests he exercised any options.
