Lawsuit May Delay Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover: Here's What You Need To Know
A Florida-based pension fund is challenging Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk's potential $44 billion Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) takeover.
一家总部位于佛罗里达的养老基金正面临挑战特斯拉公司(纳斯达克代码:TSLA)首席执行官埃隆·马斯克可能以440亿美元收购Twitter Inc.(纽约证券交易所代码：TWTR)。
According to a report, a complaint has been filed by the Orlando Police Pension Fund in Delaware Chancery Court says that under Delaware law, Musk cannot complete the takeover until at least 2025 unless holders of two-thirds of shares not "owned" by him approve the deal.
据报道，奥兰多警察养老基金在特拉华州衡平法院提起的一项申诉称，根据特拉华州法律，马斯克至少要到2025年才能完成收购，除非非他所拥有的三分之二股份的持有者批准这笔交易。

The law prohibits the purchase because Musk had agreements with other significant Twitter shareholders to support the buyout, including Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, according to the fund.
法律禁止这笔收购，因为马斯克与Twitter的其他重要股东达成了支持收购的协议，包括摩根士丹利(纽约证券交易所股票代码：MS)和Twitter创始人杰克·多尔西，根据该基金的说法。
The complaint says Musk's arrangements made him an "interested shareholder" who must wait three years to wrap up the deal or win the support of investors who control "at least 66 2/3% of Twitter's outstanding voting stock" and were independent of Musk.
起诉书称，马斯克的安排使他成为一个“感兴趣的股东”，他必须等待三年才能完成交易，或者赢得投资者的支持，这些投资者控制着“至少662/3%的推特已发行有表决权的股票”，并且独立于马斯克。
Last week, Musk told investors that he plans to return Twitter to public ownership in as little as three years after completing the takeover.
上周，马斯克告诉投资者，他计划在完成收购后短短三年内将Twitter重新公有。
Last month, a group of Twitter shareholders sued Musk, claiming that he failed to disclose his 9.2 percent stake in the company in the proper timeframe.
上个月，Twitter的一群股东起诉马斯克，称他未能在适当的时间框架内披露他在该公司9.2%的股份。
