At a presumed company valuation of $4 billion–this is common stock, not preferred stock, which presumes a value of $15 billion–those shares could become a nice bonus for employees who choose to sell them. And given the absence of certain future “liquidity events” in which Facebook professes to have no interest, it’s an easy way for the company to hang on to early hires who may be losing patience waiting for an IPO.
