Last week he corrected people on this 'payday' usage, I think this is the same misusage. He is allowed to buy the stock for this price, he does not have the right to sell it for 5 years, though. So he pays taxes based on todays stock-price, but if it plummets he goes down with it getting nothing since he can't sell for 5 years. So, sure, he's already rich and this will make his valuation much better. Over which he should pay taxes. But its not a payday in my view of the world when you can't actually buy anything for it since he can't sell those for 5 years.
