According to MacRumors, it's a deal "that could be worth $400m". If I were to guess (based on just public information which is almost nothing), the stock is not going to be worth much. Obviously Apple is going to pay the least they can, so I wouldn't be shocked if they're paying exactly what investors need to either get their money back or maybe a slight profit (if the recent investors had conditions for it). Employees will probably get nothing, except a new plan. The total sum of that new plan would depend on hitting some very aggressive numbers, that are unlikely to be hit (no idea what they'd put the metrics on). And the bulk of that is probably going to the CEO who has to stick around for 4 years to cash in.
