Ann: Expiry of unlisted options and performance rights, page-22

The only comment here that mean't something... I to was a bit confused with this point but stumbled to the same source. To my understanding, yes, you're able to exercise your options regardless of whether the company is suspended or not. However, as any smart investor would do, why buy into a stock that is currently uncertain to when suspension would be lifted? Yes, you may forego a massive potential in profits however, what is certain is that if you invest in another stock you would reap the gains/loss now. Long term or short term, knowing your money is attainable now is important.
