Jack -
I don't think that all of Capellas' CPQ purchases have been correctly captured and I am still somewhat confused, but one thing is clear - the purchase he did this summer was NOT a grant. As a part of his package as CEO, he got the ability to borrow up to $5M to purchase CPQ stock - but that's still "his" money and presumably if he bails out he will need to repay the loan... not a lot different than buying on margin.
