What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? UT

the company i work for was bought some years ago by Accenture (remember Enron?) they are slowly assimilating us. most of us had some stock options in the original company. a few years ago Accenture had this meeting with us and applied a large amount of pressure for us to sell our stock options to them. it was such a high pressure meeting that i declined along with a handful of others, since i figured they were so desperate that it must be better to hang on to the few options i had. then just recently, we holdouts were offered another opportunity to sell them, but with a small bonus attached.

why do they want these options? does my having them prevent Accenture from selling our company to someone else? they said if i don't sell them, that they would just cancel them... can they do this?
if they are in such a bother to get them, maybe they are worth more than they are offering? any thoughts from anyone?
thanks....:confused:
