Facebook Granted About $796 Million In Restricted Stock To Employees This Month
More Facebook riches all around!�The company granted about $796 million in restricted stock units to employees less than a week ago, according to an amended IPO filing. These are�"employee refresher grants," or new grants for employees. They don't replace existing ones. These restricted stock units, or RSUs, could be worth anywhere from $707 million to $884 million based on Facebook's expected $28 to 35 price range per share. Of course, if people hold on for longer and the stock pops by the time their lock-up period finishes, these shares could be worth a great deal more.
