This could be an explanation: maybe the company is doing a kind of MM job for the options of its stock:Really- What arb would that be and why would you do that when 1 year T-bills are now about 4.8%?
ie. making their options (and with it its stock) attractive for trading by making it competetive (and an alternative) to bonds, ie. for fixed income investors... Although could do it also via dividend payments...
