Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on whether Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk may have engaged in insider trading in violation of Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by selling billions of dollars of his personally held shares while aware of material nonpublic information.
Specifically, from Nov. 4-8, 2022, Musk sold nearly 19 million shares for about $3.95 billion. But just weeks later, a wave of news reports pointing to sagging demand for Tesla’s vehicles emerged, causing Tesla’s shares to decline sharply. In particular, on Dec. 1, news reports said Tesla had cut prices in the U.S. Then, on Dec. 5, Bloomberg News reported that Tesla planned to lower production in China. Further, on Dec. 8, Bloomberg reported that Tesla planned to shorten worker shifts at its Shanghai factory.
Musk would engage in suspiciously timed trading again on Dec. 12-14, when he sold 22 million shares for appx. $3.6 billion. But on Dec. 22, just eight days after Mr. Musk’s sales ended, news reports said Tesla cut prices again in the U.S. and began offering 10,000 miles of free supercharging for vehicles delivered in December. Then, on Jan. 2, 2023, Tesla announced fourth-quarter vehicle deliveries that were significantly below the company’s most recent forecast to investors. This news sent the price of Tesla shares down over 12% on Jan. 3, 2023 to close at $108.10, which was well below the average price Mr. Musk received for his shares.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether Musk knew that Tesla’s business had slowed when he sold his shares,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
