The Delaware Court of Chancery has ruled that Elon Musk's $55.8 billion compensation plan for Tesla is not entirely fair and has ordered its rescission. The court found that Musk, as Tesla's controlling stockholder, exercised control in connection with the adoption of the plan. It also determined that the plan was not approved by a majority of independent directors and that the stockholder vote was not fully informed. The court concluded that the plan was unnecessary to keep Musk as CEO and rejected the argument that its success justified its fairness. As a result, the court has directed the parties to confer on an order addressing attorneys' fees payable to the plaintiff's counsel. [Extracted from the article]
