The BBC article states that it will be drawn out until 2013, so it isn't as big of news as it is over 5 years, or 5bn per year. But with stocks dropping 30% according to the article, the board members won't be happy because their value dropped 30% as they are the biggest share holders. Doing this will inflate stock value because it creates demand and there will be less shares going around so everybody is now worth more money.
