On January 1, 2008, PWC awarded stock options to two of its top managers, Price and Waterhouse. Price received options to purchase 25,000 shares of PWC $1 par common stock at an exercise price of $10/share. Waterhouse received 15,000 options to purchase DH $1 par common stock at that same exercise price.

On April 18, 2010, Waterhouse accepts an offer from KPMG, Inc. and leaves the company.
On July 29, 2012, Price exercises all her options at a time when DH common sells for $39/share.
