CNN —Tesla directors will return $735 million to the company to settle claims they grossly overpaid themselves in one of the largest shareholder settlements of its kind, according to a Monday filing in a Delaware court. The directors, including Oracle (ORCL) co-founder Larry Ellison, agreed to return the equivalent value of 3.1 million Tesla stock options, according to a court filing. As part of the board directors compensation settlement, the directors also agreed to not receive any compensation for 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the board will change the way compensation is determined. Along with that gain in stock value, stock options awarded to the directors and to Musk rose sharply in value. Tesla had argued it used the stock options to ensure the incentives of directors were aligned with the goals of investors.
