Options issue

I find this very intriguing and positive that in last few weeks about 1.5mill options have been issued at a strike price of $1
First lot 250k to a soph
Second 1.25m to a corporate adviser .

I assume for services provided or to be provided

This seems to me a smart way to preserve capital ( spending is well controlled) as well as an easy way to add to the coffers when options exercised .

I would also assume that whoever took options were happy to do so in lieu of cash for services .
Thus again assuming they expect the options to be well in the money .

maybe I’ve made a lot of assumptions here but IXC still my best 2020 pick
