Spoke to the company, the oppies are "employee" options deseigned to "lock in" some company employees for the crutial upcoming years and were issue at the previous 5 days average plus 25%, so I was wrong with my previous posts.
I told the "beard" that the announcement was not clear enough and confusion reigned on the chat sites.
The oppies can of course be converted anytime between now and 2012.
Also asked about the "ball" delivery and was assured that it is on schedule.
cheers
