Delaware Judge Who Voided Elon Musk's Pay Package Assured Tesla Won't Fight Her Ruling Elsewhere: 'Give Me Great Comfort'
Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, the Delaware judge who nullified Musk's $56 billion pay package, said that she is assured Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) will not challenge the ruling on CEO Elon Musk's pay package in any other jurisdiction.
宣布马斯克560亿美元薪酬待遇无效的特拉华州法官凯瑟琳·麦考密克表示，她确信特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）不会在任何其他司法管辖区对首席执行官埃隆·马斯克薪酬待遇的裁决提出质疑。
What Happened: This assurance came after the shareholder legal team, who had sued over Musk's hefty pay package, sought orders to prevent their case from being overturned in a Texas court, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
发生了什么：路透社周三报道，这项保证是在曾就马斯克的巨额薪酬待遇提起诉讼的股东法律团队寻求命令以防止他们的案件在德克萨斯州法院被推翻之后作出的。
"If I have interpreted the defendants' position incorrectly, then defense counsel – as officers of the court – are duty-bound to correct it. In the meantime, the defendants' statements give me great comfort," McCormick said in her seven-page letter.
“如果我错误地解释了被告的立场，那么辩护律师——作为法庭官员——有责任予以纠正。同时，被告的陈述让我感到非常安慰。” 味好美在她长达七页的信中说。
Tesla shareholders are set to vote next month to "ratify" the pay package that McCormick voided and to reincorporate Tesla in Texas. The shareholder's legal team had previously speculated in a court filing in April that Tesla and Musk might try to reverse McCormick's ruling in another jurisdiction, such as Texas.
特斯拉股东将在下个月投票，以 “批准” 味好美宣布的薪酬待遇，并将特斯拉重组到德州。该股东的法律团队此前曾在4月份的法庭文件中推测，特斯拉和马斯克可能会试图推翻麦考密克在其他司法管辖区（例如德克萨斯州）的裁决。
Tesla, however, dismissed these speculations as "rank speculation" in court documents, stating that Delaware would retain jurisdiction over the pay dispute. McCormick interpreted these comments as an assurance that Tesla would not attempt to circumvent her previous ruling.
但是，特斯拉在法庭文件中以 “排名推测” 为由驳回了这些猜测，称特拉华州将保留对薪酬纠纷的管辖权。味好美将这些言论解释为特斯拉不会试图规避其先前的裁决的保证。
McCormick must now decide if the shareholder's legal team should receive the $6 billion they requested from Tesla as a legal fee before Musk and Tesla can appeal. A hearing for the legal fee has been scheduled for July 8.
在马斯克和特斯拉提出上诉之前，味好美现在必须决定股东的法律团队是否应该从特斯拉那里获得他们要求的60亿美元作为律师费。有关律师费的听证会定于7月8日举行。
Why It Matters: This development follows a series of events that began in January when McCormick voided Musk's $55 billion compensation plan.
为何重要：这一事态发展是在1月份发生的一系列事件之后发生的，当时味好美宣布马斯克的550亿美元薪酬计划无效。
In March, Musk thanked Tesla shareholders who wrote to the Delaware court against voiding his pay package. However, in May, Glass Lewis advised shareholders to vote against Musk's proposed compensation package.
3月，马斯克感谢特斯拉股东写信给特拉华州法院，反对宣布其薪酬待遇无效。但是，在5月，格拉斯·刘易斯建议股东投票反对马斯克提议的薪酬方案。
Price Action: On Tuesday, Tesla's stock closed at 176.75, down 1.39% from the previous close, according to Benzinga Pro.
