< Mr. Chairman,
< I would like to offer a suggestion concerning the
< severe errosion of value to those of us who were given stock options this
< last December/January
<
< 1. It seems that those eligible to start this coming year-end are going to
< be far better off than those of us who started last year......by a
< considerable amount.
<
< In my case I had approx. 900 shares at a price < $80 (based on about
< $25/share by Black-Scholes).
<
< If the stock does extremely well between now and Christmas it could be
< at a price of say $40 and have a Black-Scholes value of say $18. Based
< on these very rough
< numbers, if I was starting in the plan this coming year end, I would
< get 1000 shares at a price of $40.
<
< 2. MY SUGGESTION IS, THAT WE BE ALLOWED TO GIVE UP OUR EXISTING ESOP
< RIGHTS AND BE ABLE TO RE-ENTER THE PLAN THIS YEAR. This then would be
< based on 20% of our base salary versus the 25% of last year (but most
< salary bases would be a little higher too). This should be an optional
< choice.
<
< I am confident this would be an enormously popular move.
