(the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cTesla\u201d) and the Board\u2019s failure to provide meaningful real-time oversight of management. The Board\u2019s relentless pursuit of retaining its CEO seems to have harmed the Company\u2019s reputation, led to extraordinarily high levels of executive compensation, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/02\/10\/elon-musk-masterful-move-goalpost-tesla-full-self-driving\/\">delayed progress on meeting key goals like full self-driving (FSD)<\/a><\/strong>. The Board, a majority of which is made up of directors with close ties to the CEO, now asks for Tesla shareholders to approve a series of proposals that grant it broad discretion to execute an estimated $1 trillion pay package, as well as grant awards through a new reserve created specifically for Elon Musk. These pay packages provide so much discretion to Tesla\u2019s Board that shareholders cannot be confident of impartial treatment. In summary, there is an urgent need to address these issues to preserve long-term shareholder value for all Tesla shareholders, which we believe justifies voting against all directors up for election this year, as well as the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the \u201cA&amp;R 2019 Equity Plan\u201d) and the 2025 CEO Performance Award (the \u201c2025 Performance Award\u201d). We believe that approval of these items is not in the economic or financial interest of Tesla shareholders for the reasons set out in the letter below.<\/p>\n            \n                <div class=\"cta-container\">\n                                            <a class=\"button one\" href=\"https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/TSLA-Vote-No_Oct_2025_Final.pdf\" download>Read the Full Letter Here<i class=\"fal fa-download\"><\/i><\/a>                                    <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <style>\n        #anvil-wyswyg-block_3a2194001c394170225eccb80d5791f2 {\n            color:#212121;\n            background: ;\n            padding-top: 20px;\n            padding-bottom: 20px;\n        }\n         #anvil-wyswyg-block_3a2194001c394170225eccb80d5791f2 .row  {\n            justify-content:center;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":25308,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Letter to Investors: Vote &quot;No&quot;
