Rambo,
For your first question, I highly doubt it. Even if he wanted to, it will be years down the road. Gotta have serious investors with big money backing the company and very likely still need loans from banks. They gotta prove that they can generate solid revenue growth for at least the first few years and then they gotta persuade both investors and banks that they can continue to do so for years to come.
To take it private is pretty much shares buyback so they gotta name a price and have the approval of the shareholders in order to do so. No, the executives can't vote, only the rest. And the price gotta be reasonable enough that will secure a pass. In my company's case, the payout was double the SP at the time. One thing though, it goes by shares count and not shareholders count. So let's say minus the executives' shares, there's 50M shares owned by those who are able to vote. If one or two big shareholders owned over 25M and they vote yes, the rest are pretty much screwed.
