Does low SP perhas suit the management?

Just some questions here ...

I wonder if for whatever reason a company or its management would deliberately want SP to stay low for some given time till the SP is ready to sky rocket? As a newbie an example/scenario that comes to mind is if future bonus is to be paid in form of options or if management is looking to increase their holding.

And if so, would making dampening/distracting announcements straight after significantly positive announcements are an indication. Other indications could perhaps be promising timelines & not meeting them to put/keep a lid on SH confidence?

Just general questions here ... not intended to implying anything about GPP in particular.
