Wait a minute. I don't remember reading the information that is contained in this new Press Release today, which was released when the markets closed, in the Annual Meeting Circular that was given to shareholders recently. It appears that management has since decided to make an amendment to the proposed share unit plan, which will in effect put a maximum cap of 5,000,000 shares to be awarded to employees, down from the 8,000,000 shares that management is legally permitted to issue. This is an interesting development.
