If the employees/common share holders are splitting say $1B, an employee's 1% is actually much more. It wouldn't be surprising to think the investor's preferred shares were ~50% of the equity or more, leaving the common shares with the remaining 50%. That employee's 1% is actually 2% of the remaining, so ~$20M using the numbers above.
