- Shareholders re-ratified the compensation package Thursday after a Delaware judge struck it down in January.
- Judge Kathaleen McCormick ruled Tesla’s board members had not been sufficiently independent during negotiations.
- Eric Talley said Musk’s pre-vote comments could plausibly be viewed as coercing Tesla shareholders.
- Shareholders approved moving Tesla’s incorporation to Texas, but McCormick said the litigation remains in Delaware.
We believe that the ratification vote that Elon demanded and coerced is deeply flawed as a matter of law, legally ineffective and does not impact our case. We will respond to any arguments raised in due course,— Greg Varallo, a partner at Bernstein, Litowitz, Berger & Grossmann; the lawyer representing Tesla shareholder Richard Tornetta in the Delaware case
