Is this their first employee stock purchase plan?
I didn’t see any discount on the purchase price. The price paid will be fair market value on the purchase date.

Does the timing of this coincide with something big? Or just pretty standard stuff?

Is this a means by which "Eligible Individuals" that have a lot of money can help MNKD raise money by directly purchasing the shares from MNKD. Strategic Dilution?

I suspect employees have asked about such a program as those who are dedicated to the company may want to be part of possible future gains. It's a nice program to offer in any case.

Im not sure i understand this. What is the advantage for the employees to buy those shares if it is at the same price as the market? They could have bought at this price for the last 2 months and 6 months in 2017. They had all the time they needed if they wanted to buy. Is there any advantage for the company? Im not getting the point.

It is a good thing to do and I do now see it as a concern as far as major dilution unless I am missing something here. |

I am sorry but I don't follow your logic. |

It is an employee stock purchasing plan? What is an 'Employee Stock Purchase Plan - ESPP' An employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) is a company-run program in which participating employees can purchase company shares at a discounted price. Employees contribute to the plan through payroll deductions, which build up between the offering date and the purchase date. At the purchase date, the company uses the accumulated funds to purchase shares in the company on behalf of the participating employees.

I have no issue with it. More skin in the game. Normally purchased shares at a slight discount but not sure on this plan. It might just be at market value. But why not have it? Let them buy shares with Payroll dollars is just like saving in a 401K. Also a GREAT SIGNAL to the street that the company is confident about being around in the future.

Absolutly not saying that's what will happen but i dont see the link between the two things. |

This was voted on at the ASM, Mike also mentioned the interest from the employees and stated that the percentage of employees interested was actually higher than the typical participation. Bio, Sports, Baba, Central or anyone else please correct me if that is not what you heard also. Thanks -J

Is it possible that this program allows the employees to purchase with pretax dollars?
