John has now been at Intel for over 10 years, and today is the 10-year expiration date on the stock options from his hire date back in 1999. With Intel stock closing at $12.08 today, this large chunk of stock options is now worthless and expires at more than $21/share underwater. At their peak, these were worth over $100,000 on paper before they were fully vested, and should have been worth $500k-$1M today given the late 90's growth projections. Easy come, easy go.
