As much noise as I hear about this, it&#x27;s not really that simple.  In my estimation, lengthening the exercise window just ensures that dilution will happen faster.  If you have 5% of a company locked up by people who no longer work there, you have to find a way to reward current employees.  Sure, cash is one way, but it might be easier to issue more stock, most likely of a different class.  It might sound good on paper, but ultimately I really don&#x27;t think this (edited: &quot;this&quot; = extending the window) will have any real positive impact for employees leaving the company.
