Thanks for your feedback, we are regularly reviewing market practices and our own practices to ensure we provide competitive offerings. Currently, we do not offer RSUs to any employees or Executives. However, although our nonqualified ESPP does require your own investment, the 1 for 1 match (Buy 1 Get 1) with only one year vesting does provide a very good opportunity to acquire CALX stock with effectively a 50% discount and short vesting period.
