The amendments to the employee stock options were approved by Aladdin's Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. Effective as of July 31, 2008, the Company amended approximately 430,000 outstanding incentive employee stock options by reducing the exercise price to $8.82 per share. The average exercise price of the options that were amended was $19.85. The total expense related to this action is estimated to be approximately $600,000, of which the Company expects to incur approximately $390,000 during the current fiscal year 2008.
The Company believes that these amendments provide an important mechanism to continuing to motivate and incentivize Aladdin's dedicated employees who are critical to the company's growth strategy and to the objective of creating long-term shareholder value.
"Aladdin has a truly exceptional team of employees worldwide dedicated to the development and delivery of market leading authentication, software DRM and content security solutions to our customers globally," said Yanki Margalit, Chairman and CEO of Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "Just as we are reinvesting in our core business, it is equally as important that we continue to reinvest in our people -- our greatest asset."
