Does a “value for value” exchange require shareholder approval?
Yes, unless the plan authorizes it, such an exchange would be considered a material amendment that requires shareholder approval. An example of the this type of exchange is where outstanding options are valued according to a pricing model, and the optionees receive, in exchange for their options, shares of stock equal in value to the calculated value of the stock options.
