Facebook超额发行新股，股东提起诉讼 - Facebook - IT资讯

一位Facebook公司股东于上周五申请提起集体诉讼，旨在阻止该公司发行C级股票的计划，并宣称这一举措因巩固首席执行官马克·扎克伯格对股东的控制权而有失公平。

此次诉讼已经被提交至特拉华州法院，而这时距社交巨头公布其股票发行计划才刚刚过去两天Facebook公司的股权结构实际上为3比1股票分割形式，而两年31岁的公司掌门人扎克伯格曾于去年12月宣布他有意将手中99%的公司股票捐献给新的慈善项目，旨在用于发掘人类潜能与促进人权平等。

此次诉讼声称，Facebook公司董事会所批准的这项股票发行计划“毫无讨价还价余地”，且将使得扎克伯格“获取全部实际价值”以提升对公司的控制权。

Facebook公司代表并未立即对此事发表评论。

Facebook公司计划推出一种新的公开发行股票种类，但强调称此类股票的持有方不具备投票权Facebook将其称为“C类”股票，即有别于代表股东所持股份的A类与B类股票。这些新的C类股票将以新的代码通过证券交易所上市。

扎克伯格“希望保留这种权力，同时通过抛售大量所持股份获取数十亿美元收益，”诉讼资料指出。

“事实上，C类股票的发行相当于为扎克伯格提供数十亿美元的股权增量，但他本人却无需承担任何实际支出，”资料解释称。

谷歌公司也曾于2013年执行过类似的计划，亦同样遭遇到诉讼问题——直到前不久才彻底解决。
