Third-Party Descriptions

December 2005: Shareholder advocate Nell Minow, co-founder of the Corporate Library, dismissed that rationale, saying out-of-the-money options (also known as underwater options) should still be considered an expense. 'You might hear people say that underwater options aren't worth anything, but ask them to give them to you and see if they agree,' she said.

Dec 19, 2005 Pushing Fast-Forward on Options: Speeded-Up Vesting Is a Way Around New Accounting Rule, but Some Cry Foul

QUOTE: ... [companies--Ed.] have transformed millions of stock options, many of which would not have been available for executives to use until 2009, into fully vested shares....corporate-governance experts say it is a dubious exercise nonetheless because it undermines the intent of the much-debated new rule. The critics also say that speeding up options hands an extra treat to already-well-fed executives, hurts a company's shareholders and misleads prospective investors.
