On January 1, 2016, manager Tess Pedraza was granted options for 1,200 shares (1:1 conversion to shares) at an exercise price of $15 per option. Option pricing models produced a related compensation value for the stock option plan of $90,000 on January 1, 2016; the market value of the common shares at that time being $14. On January 3, 2021, Tess Pedraza exercised 1,000 of the options and did not exercise the remaining options when she left Milestones Limited in late 2021.
