内容总结:

马斯克与美证交会达成和解,支付150万美元了结推特投资纠纷

经过长达数年的法律争端,埃隆·马斯克已与美国证券交易委员会(SEC)就其在推特(现更名为X)投资披露时间问题达成和解。SEC宣布,马斯克同意支付150万美元罚款,但不承认任何不当行为,以此换取监管机构撤销相关指控。

如该和解协议获法院批准,将正式结束围绕马斯克2022年以440亿美元收购推特过程中引发的长期诉讼。SEC同年对马斯克展开调查,指控其在持股超过5%后拖延11天才进行披露,这一延迟行为使马斯克节省了超过1.5亿美元,却损害了推特其他股东的利益。

调查期间,SEC指称马斯克采用“策略性拖延”手段规避调查,多次拒绝回应传票。而马斯克则反过来指责时任SEC主席加里·根斯勒对其“进行骚扰”。根斯勒在针对马斯克的诉讼提交数日后即因特朗普政府上台而离任。

据路透社报道,此次150万美元的罚款金额“是SEC针对同类违规行为开出的最高罚单”。

埃隆·马斯克就推特投资信息披露争议与美国证券交易委员会达成150万美元和解

埃隆·马斯克已与美国证券交易委员会达成和解,结束了双方持续数年、围绕其收购推特重大股份时信息披露时机的纠纷。该监管机构表示,马斯克同意支付150万美元罚款,但不承认存在不当行为,以此换取SEC撤销对其提起的诉讼。

若这一和解协议获得法院批准,将终结这场围绕他2022年以440亿美元收购推特初期行为的漫长法律战。同年,SEC开始调查马斯克,因其延迟11天才披露已持有推特超过5%的股份。SEC在诉讼中指出,这一延迟最终为马斯克节省了超过1.5亿美元,而代价由推特股东承担。

调查期间,SEC指控马斯克使用"博弈手段"拖延调查,其多次逃避监管机构的传票。而马斯克则反指时任SEC主席加里·根斯勒对其进行"骚扰"。在针对马斯克的诉讼提起数日后,随着唐纳德·特朗普总统就职,根斯勒离职。

据路透社报道,这笔150万美元的罚款是"SEC历史上针对此类违规行为开出的最大金额罚单"。

Elon Musk settles with the SEC for $1.5 million after years-long dispute over his Twitter investment
Elon Musk has reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after a years-long dispute with the regulator over the timing of his disclosure that he had acquired a significant stake in Twitter. Musk agreed to pay a $1.5 million fee without admitting wrongdoing in exchange for the SEC dropping its case, the regulator said.
If the settlement is approved by a court, it will bring to an end the drawn out battle over how he began his $44 billion takeover of Twitter in 2022. The SEC began investigating Musk that same year over his 11-day delay in disclosing that he had acquired a more than 5 percent stake in the company. That lag, the SEC argued in a lawsuit, ultimately saved Musk more than $150 million at the expense of Twitter shareholders.
During the course of its investigation, the SEC accused Musk of using "gamesmanship" to stall its probe as he repeatedly dodged the regulator's subpoena. Musk, in turn, accused then-SEC chair Gary Gensler of "harassment." Gensler left his post days after the lawsuit against Musk was filed as President Donald Trump took office.
The 1.5 million penalty is "the largest in SEC history for the type of violation he was accused of," according to Reuters.
