Apples VD Steve Jobs meddelade under onsdagskvällen i ett mejl till samtliga medarbetare att han kommer ta ledigt till och med juni.
Bakom beslutet ligger det faktum att hormonrubbningen han drabbats av är "mer komplex än han kunnat ana".
Tills Steve återkommer tar Apples andreman Tim Cook över hans arbetsuppgifter.
Marknaden reagerade negativt på beskedet. Apples aktie backade i efterhandeln med drygt 6 procent.
Här är mejlet i sin helhet:
Team,
I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.
In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.
I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.
Steve
