Woz Plan

The "Woz Plan" was an alternative stock distribution plan organized by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak in which he offered up to US$10 million worth of his personal shares to early "garage" employees who otherwise did not receive any stock in the company.

Plan
After Steve Jobs and the Apple Board of Directors decided not to grant stock or stock options to staff who did not meet certain criteria, Wozniak offered forty of these early employees up to 2,000 shares each at $5 per share shortly after the company went public on December 12, 1980. By January 2020, each share had split 56-fold and would have been worth over $17,000.
