Two more SolarCity board members are recusing from the Tesla merger vote, leaving only 3 members
When Tesla first announced that it submitted an acquisition offer to SolarCity‘s board of director, the company made it clear that Elon Musk and Antonio Gracias will recuse themselves from voting on the $2.8 billion merger deal since they both sit on the boards of both companies.
Now we learn that two more SolarCity board members will be recusing themselves from the vote after it was determined that they didn’t “meet the requirements for independence”.
The two SolarCity directors are JB Straubel, best known for being co-founder and CTO of Tesla, and Peter Rive, SolarCity co-founder and CTO, but also cousin to Elon Musk.
