This was addressed in one of the Apple Expo's by Jobs but for some reason I can't find any info on it.
The $150 mil was an agreement between Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft would develop Office software for Apple and Apple would drop their "likeness" lawsuits.

The contract was for 5 years and ended in early 03. So, Jobs sold the stock (he could do so because it was a non-voting option that Gates invested in). Basically, it was a $150 million loan.
