Thar seekingalpha article is interesting. Not the first time BOD nonindependence has come up though; here is a repost of a few years ago:
In the 10K I noticed that past stock options for Fxen's officers/directors were granted on April 5. Now typically companies grant these things around the same dates every year. The grantees always *hope* there is a dip in the price then because they will get more options or get them at a lower cost. Most grantees however are not in a position to manage the stock price at that time.
I will reiterate my concern that the BOD is too insiderish. Investors need a board with some perspective other than management's, and this BOD does not have it.
