Lawyers who sunk Elon Musk’s big pay package are now asking for nearly $6 billion worth of Tesla stock. Musk doesn’t seem happy.::After sinking Elon Musk’s $55 billion pay package, lawyers are now asking a Delaware court for about 11% of those Tesla shares for their fee.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Lawyers for a Tesla shareholder successfully argued in a Delaware court that Elon Musk doesn’t deserve a $55-billion compensation package for his work at the EV company.
The attorneys argued in a Friday court filing that the fee for their litigation work amounts to about 11% of the pay package.
Chancellor Kathleen McCormick of the Delaware Chancery Court now has to decide how much of the compensation package can go to attorneys’ fees.
“Plaintiff’s Counsel have not been paid for their work, nor have any of their costs or expenses been reimbursed, and litigating this Action required the allocation of a substantial amount of Plaintiff’s Counsel’s time and resources over six years, including considerable out-of-pocket expenses,” the attorneys wrote.
Tornetta’s lawyers, including lead attorney Greg Varallo of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman, wrote in the Friday court filing that his team is prepared to “eat our cooking.”
“The size of the requested award is great because the value of the benefit to Tesla that plaintiff’s counsel achieved was massive.”
