Meanwhile Geoff Want recently took up (some of) his share options. Option price £0.00, sold at £4.83 and £1.57 sold at almost a fiver!
Now let me see
(£4.830 - £0.00) * 40,931 = £197,696 and
(£4.995 - £1.57) * 100,636 = £344,678
Nice little earner if you can get it.
But he does do a great job. Handled the "cross" issue so well! Had the staff (and the country in general) on his side with quotes like...
Mr Want said: 'We might.' But he added: 'We continually review our policy but on this particular occasion we see no reason to change it at this time.'
He deserves the odd £1/2million. But do the staff deserve their contracted pension?
