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.
宣佈馬斯克560億美元薪酬待遇無效的特拉華州法官凱瑟琳·麥考密克表示，她確信特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）不會在任何其他司法管轄區對首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克薪酬待遇的裁決提出質疑。
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.
發生了什麼：路透社週三報道，這項保證是在曾就馬斯克的巨額薪酬待遇提起訴訟的股東法律團隊尋求命令以防止他們的案件在德克薩斯州法院被推翻之後作出的。
"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.
“如果我錯誤地解釋了被告的立場，那麼辯護律師——作爲法庭官員——有責任予以糾正。同時，被告的陳述讓我感到非常安慰。” 味好美在她長達七頁的信中說。
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.
特斯拉股東將在下個月投票，以 “批准” 味好美宣佈的薪酬待遇，並將特斯拉重組到德州。該股東的法律團隊此前曾在4月份的法庭文件中推測，特斯拉和馬斯克可能會試圖推翻麥考密克在其他司法管轄區（例如德克薩斯州）的裁決。
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 “排名推測” 爲由駁回了這些猜測，稱特拉華州將保留對薪酬糾紛的管轄權。味好美將這些言論解釋爲特斯拉不會試圖規避其先前的裁決的保證。
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.
在馬斯克和特斯拉提出上訴之前，味好美現在必須決定股東的法律團隊是否應該從特斯拉那裏獲得他們要求的60億美元作爲律師費。有關律師費的聽證會定於7月8日舉行。
Why It Matters: This development follows a series of events that began in January when McCormick voided Musk's $55 billion compensation plan.
爲何重要：這一事態發展是在1月份發生的一系列事件之後發生的，當時味好美宣佈馬斯克的550億美元薪酬計劃無效。
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，馬斯克感謝特斯拉股東寫信給特拉華州法院，反對宣佈其薪酬待遇無效。但是，在5月，格拉斯·劉易斯建議股東投票反對馬斯克提議的薪酬方案。
Price Action: On Tuesday, Tesla's stock closed at 176.75, down 1.39% from the previous close, according to Benzinga Pro.
