by cut their losses, I assume you mean lock in a portion of gains. to have an idea of returns Benchmark and other investors experience at Uber's most recent valuation (which doesn't mean that's exactly what SoftBank would pay, if at all), see Uber's Path to IPO: https://equityzen.com/path-to-ipo/uber/
These return estimates are net of liquidation preferences. Even if the transaction takes place and does so at a price slightly lower than the recent valuation, early investors are sitting on a healthy return on investment and internal rate of return.
Disclaimer: I work at EquityZen, the preparer of the estimates in the info graphic linked above.

If I am the May 2016 investor, I'm thrilled that I got to see how the company grew for a year and a half, while still paying the same price as the Feb 2015 investor. Snap might have provided other incentives to investors early in the Series F round, or they were just happy to get invited to the party.
believe the investors (who had a contractual right to purchase additional shares in ipo) exercised that right, so there was actually expectation of good public market performance.
nothing beats a sure thing though... M&A valuation avoids having everyone watching the stock price daily
In fact in this case late stage investors had a contractual right to buy shares at IPO signaling strength of company. Don't feel took naff for they investors though :)
Still waiting on official figures on employee retention to be announced, but it's fair to say all preferred concerted so whatever % employees owner will convert for a decent portion of the buy out price. Say the retention piece is 10% or $370M, an employee that had 0.10% should walk away with ~$3.3M ($3.7B x 90% x 0.10%) plus anything they get under retention
