Nick has been bringing this up with the board to discuss extending the options. He said during the webinar that it would be a waste (especially now) for the options to expire, and I guess he also wants to reward some of the long term holders.
Nick definitely feels like it's taking back control of the company (along with the strong members on the board), and we finally appear to be moving in he right direction! I have no doubt Nick will keep the market informed when the EGM is ready.
