Apple Exec Tevanian Makes $33 Million Off Stock Sales

by , 2:55 PM EST, December 19th, 2005

Avie Tevanian, Apple's chief software technology officer, has made more than US$33 million since Nov. 1 through two separate stock sales, according to a report at the San Jose Mercury News. Reporter Jack Davis said that the sales happened a month apart.

Mr. Davis cited insider transaction data from Thomson Financial that showed Mr. Tevanian buying 300,000 Apple shares on Nov. 1 at $8.41 each. The executive sold the stock that same day, with each share going for somewhere between $57.14 and $57.74 each.

Mr. Tevanian then acquired 300,000 more shares on Dec. 1, picking them up for between $8.41 and $8.66 each and getting $68.89 to $69.77 apiece when sold that day. Both of the option exercises and sales were part of a plan he set up last January under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Such plans help avoid conflict of interest claims.

Ronald Johnson, senior vice-president of retail at Apple, has also exercised options during that time frame, selling $4.7 million worth of shares for $13.2 million on Nov. 22. Apple employees have sold shares worth over $322 million so far in 2005, according to Mr. Davis, although CEO Steve Jobs is not among them.

Personally, given Apple's short term prospects, I would have held on to the stock for a year and pocketed the extra like $6M in taxes I wouldn't have to pay. And that's not including any more increases in stock price. But hey maybe he had some bills to pay right away!
