Nothing to drive this share price up turr...you would need to go full conspiracy theory to believe that the company is witholding news to enable cheap options, and I think they would be exposed quickly if that were the case.
I'm not totally against what you suggest, but I have to believe the company is not that stupid because there are a lot of angry shareholders who would love to argue your suggestion in a court of law, and I would be amongst them.
Let's hope the ducks are still being aligned and that the news will come, when ready.
