Two points here:

1) Shows an enormous vote of confidence from management for them to be willing to take incentives in the form of ordinary shares rather than cash bonuses. Clearly illustrates the faith and expectation they have that this company and its SP will fly.

2) I may be reading too far into this .... but ... potential reasons for buying back ordinary shares beyond simply acting as an incentive may be for potential IPO onto another market (NASDAQ anyone)?

Very exciting news either way!

All the best to all shareholders.
