In this guest column, a grower shares his personal account of lessons learned during his transition to large-scale cultivation.

Stock Options and SARs. Stock options provide for the purchase of shares of our common stock in the future at an exercise price set on the grant date. ISOs, by contrast to NSOs, may provide tax deferral beyond exercise and favorable capital gains tax treatment to their holders if certain holding period and other requirements of the Code are satisfied. SARs entitle their holder, upon exercise, to receive from us an amount equal to the appreciation of the shares subject to the award between the grant date and the exercise date. The plan administrator will determine the number of shares covered by each option and SAR, the exercise price of each option and SAR and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each option and SAR. The exercise price of a stock option or SAR will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the grant date (or 110% in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders). The term of a stock option or SAR may not be longer than ten years (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders).

Graceful and highly intuitive, Ohlsson’s style is so poised that Thursday his upper-body movements were nigh imperceptible even as his hands vigorously roamed the keyboard; by contrast, during the music’s quieter places he visibly cocked his ears as if trusting them to lead the way.

Appearing on GoLocal LIVE with GoLocal News Editor Kate Nagle, Chafee said the Raimondo’s transfer of taxpayers dollars to billion dollar companies such as General Electric and Johnson & Johnson was flawed.

But another productive move, he said, would be to expand background checks, which Republicans and the gun advocates have staunchly opposed.

Some claim that because it’s see-through, baggage handlers are more likely to treat your bike with the respect it’s due. We would treat that claim with some scepticism and definitely add padding to protect your bike.

Pursue accretive growth opportunities. In addition to the operational efficiency initiatives described above, we have identified a number of accretive measures that may create additional value for stockholders and enhance our competitive position, including ongoing, tactical organic growth projects, mid-term upgrades, additional new rolling capacity and strategic acquisitions. We employ a fiscally disciplined approach when evaluating every growth opportunity to ensure the opportunity meets our financial return objectives. We believe these initiatives will allow us to continue to grow our business profitably.

Although we declared and paid a dividend of $56.0 million to our stockholder of record in June 2018, PAO TMK, as described in “Dividend Policy,” we do not intend to declare dividends on shares of our common stock for the first quarter following this offering. Additionally, our revolving credit facility places certain restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends, and we may enter into new debt arrangements that also prohibit or restrict our ability to pay cash dividends. Subject to such restrictions, the Board will determine the amount and timing of stockholder dividends, if any, that we may pay in future periods. In making this determination, the Board will consider all relevant factors, including the amount of cash available for dividends, capital expenditures, covenant compliance under our revolving credit facility and PAO TMK’s debt agreements, prohibitions or limitations with respect to dividends, applicable law, general operational requirements and other variables. We currently expect that we will pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock in an initial amount equal to $0.10 per share commencing in the first quarter of 2019. If we commence the payment of dividends during the first quarter of 2019, we may be unable to pay, maintain or increase dividends over time. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in us during at least the first quarter following this offering and in any period in which we do not pay dividends will be if you sell your common stock at a price greater than you paid for it. There is no guarantee that the price of our common stock that will prevail in the market will ever exceed the price that you pay in this offering. Therefore, you may not be able to realize any return on your investment in our common stock during at least the first quarter following this offering and in any period in which we do not pay dividends.

Improved and stable oil prices.

Greater price stability contributed to an increase in 2017 exploration and production capital expenditures by E&P operators in the United States and Canada as compared to 2016.
