Although the sale represented 95% of Forstall's current Apple holdings, that doesn't mean he's getting ready to leave the company. He has two more retention bonuses in the wings:

• 100,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) that were granted in 2010 and vest in 2014
• 150,000 RSUs granted in 2011 that vest in equal parts in 2013 and 2016, provided he stays with the company
