Google退出中国始作俑者Sergey Brin准备退出google
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Sergey Brin and Larry Page, co-founders of
Google Inc. who still own nearly one-fifth of the Internet giant, disclosed
Friday that they intend to significantly reduce their stake by selling
roughly $5.5 billion worth of stock.
In a regulatory filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission, Brin and
Page, who started Google /quotes/comstock/15*!goog/quotes/nls/goog (GOOG 546
.00, -4.01, -0.73%) as graduate students at Stanford University, disclosed
that under a five-year "diversification plan" adopted in November, they'll
be selling 5 million shares each.
Brin and Page currently own roughly 57.7 million shares of common stock in
Google, or about 18% of its outstanding capital stock. Their diversification
plan is intended "to allow Larry and Sergey to sell a portion of their
Google stock over time as part of their respective long-term strategies for
individual asset diversification and liquidity," according to the regulatory
filing.
At Google's closing stock price of $550.01 on Friday, the company co-
founders' sale of stock would result in proceeds of roughly $2.75 billion
each.
Brin and Page have maintained significant ownership stakes in Google, while
also relying on a dual-class stock structure at the company that currently
grants them about 59% of the voting power of the company's outstanding
capital stock.
After their planned five years of stock sales, their voting power would be
reduced to roughly 48%, according to the regulatory filing.
Google shares dipped 55 cents to $547 in after-hours trading.
Google's stock price has been on a wild ride over the past two years,
veering toward $250 in late 2008, before mounting a steady recovery
throughout 2009.
Early last year, Google took the unusual step of re-setting stock options

退出中国是他出于本人的政治信仰，这和公司的经济利益之间有重大矛盾，众多股东能饶得了他？乔布斯当年在苹果就是先例。
他自己的钱已经够多了，多点少点无所谓，就想玩一把
玩股东、客户、员工就不厚道了。
股东、客户、员工？那个算什么
在PUZZY前面，他们都应该支持。PUZZY多好呀。钱算什么？
