Tesla awards Elon Musk millions of shares valued at about $29-billion
Tesla TSLA-Q is awarding CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares of restricted stock valued at approximately US$29-billion, just six months after a judge ordered the company to revoke his massive pay package. The electric vehicle maker said in a regulatory filing on Monday that Musk must first pay Tesla US$23.34 per share of restricted stock that vests, which is equal to the exercise price per share of the 2018 pay package that was awarded to the company's CEO. In December, Delaware Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick reaffirmed her earlier ruling that Tesla must revoke Musk's multibillion-dollar pay package. She found that Musk engineered the landmark pay package in sham negotiations with directors who were not independent. At the time McCormick also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys, who argued that they were entitled to legal fees in the form of Tesla stock valued at more than US$5-billion. The judge said the attorneys were entitled to a fee award of US$345-million. Opinion: Welcome back to Tesla, Elon Musk. We've missed you The rulings came in a lawsuit filed by a Tesla stockholder who challenged Musk's 2018 compensation package. That pay package carried a potential maximum value of about US$56-billion, but that sum has fluctuated over the years based on Tesla's stock price. Musk appealed the order in March. A month later Tesla said in a regulatory filing that it was creating a special committee to look at Musk's compensation as CEO. In a letter to shareholders, Tesla's board said that Musk hasn't received 'meaningful compensation' for eight years, citing the 2012 CEO Performance Award that was last earned in 2017. The board argued that Musk deserves compensation because he's delivered 'transformative and unprecedented growth' that's 'translated into immense value generated for Tesla and all our shareholders.' Musk has been one of the richest people in the world for several years. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives feels Musk's stock award may alleviate some Tesla shareholder concerns. 'We believe this grant will now keep Musk as CEO of Tesla at least until 2030 and removes an overhang on the stock,' Ives wrote in a client note. 'Musk remains Tesla's big asset and this comp issue has been a constant concern of shareholders once the Delaware soap opera began.' Tesla shares have plunged 25 per cent this year, largely due to blowback over Musk's affiliation with U.S. President Donald Trump. But Tesla also faces intensifying competition from both the big Detroit automakers, and from China. In its most recent quarter, Tesla reported that quarterly profits plunged from US$1.39-billion to US$409-million. Revenue also fell and the company fell short of even the lowered expectations on Wall Street. Under pressure from shareholders last month, Tesla scheduled an annual shareholders meeting for November to comply with Texas state law. A group of more than 20 Tesla shareholders, which have watched Tesla shares plummet, said in a letter to the company that it needed to at least provide public notice of the annual meeting. Investors have grown increasingly worried about the trajectory of the company after Musk had spent so much time in Washington this year, becoming one of the most prominent officials in the Trump administration in its bid to slash the size of the U.S. government.

I Tried It: Not All Coolers Are Created Equal, And The Ninja FrostVault Proves It
High-performing, heavy-duty, and well worth the investment. Whether you camp, host barbecues regularly, or just don't love filling your fridge with drinks and extras when you don't have to, having a cooler is essential. I've owned my fair share of models, including a very basic Coleman model from the years of yore and a mini Igloo cooler, which I still love using for trips to the beach. In recent months, I've been looking for a replacement for my larger model that's spacious enough for parties and durable enough to take into the wild or toss in the back of my car. While diving deep into the details on offerings from fan-favourite brands like YETI and Stanley, I stumbled upon one of Ninja's newest launches: the FrostVault 45-Quart Wheeled Cooler. It seemed to tick all the right boxes, and I love the Ninja appliances I currently have in my kitchen, but it comes with a hefty price tag. I'm here to let you know if it's actually worth every penny. Key Specs Dimensions: 72.59 cm L x 44.09 cm W x 47.98 cm H 72.59 cm L x 44.09 cm W x 47.98 cm H Weight: 30.2 lbs 30.2 lbs Warranty: 5 Years 5 Years Sizes: 30-quart, 45-quart 30-quart, 45-quart Colours: Blue, Grey, White My review of the Ninja FrostVault Wheeled Cooler The Ninja FrostVault Wheeled Cooler is a serious upgrade if you're used to basic, no-frills models. Designed with a rock-solid, ultra-durable hard shell and a whopping three inches of insulation, it can keep food and drink uncrushed and ice cold for days at a time. For reference, I packed it with ice and drinks early on a Saturday afternoon for my partner's birthday party, and come Monday morning, there was still ice in it (yes, some cubes had melted, but that's still pretty impressive). By Tuesday, the cubes were almost all melted, but the water inside was still cold. Keep in mind that this was during a heat wave, and some guests left it open during the party. The ice definitely would have lasted longer if it had remained closed for most of the evening, but I still give that lasting power 5 stars. The spacious main compartment is large enough to fit 68 standard-size cans without ice or 30 cans with ice (it has a 45-quart capacity overall). At my partner's birthday, there were 20+ guests, and everyone could comfortably fit their beers and seltzers inside, on top of the three bags of ice I had poured in. This saved me from clearing out my fridge or bringing in a second cooler, which I was thankful for. When it was time to empty, it was as easy as unplugging the drain plug; no tipping necessary. Alice Prendergast I think it would also be large enough for a weekend camping trip or a larger outdoor barbecue, depending on how many people you are travelling with or hosting. Just keep in mind that you may have to forego some ice (and therefore some cold-blasting power) if you want to cram it full of food and drink. Thanks to its size and durability, I've found that the hinged top also makes for an excellent makeshift table. I think this would be especially handy for camping trips, as you can use it as a prep station or dining surface, wiping it clean between meals. One feature that sets this cooler apart from more basic models is the Dry Zone drawer. Positioned below the main compartment—beneath the ice—it keeps snacks and sandwiches cold and dry for days, maintaining temperatures under 40°F. Be aware that this section is made for flatter, more compact items, measuring only three inches tall, so you won't be able to fit large boxes of fridge food or a week's worth of ingredients. I find that it's good for garnishes, small road trip snacks, and the like. Alice Prendergast And if you'd like to take your cooler with you on the go? Easy-peasy. An upgrade from the original FrostVault model, this one is equipped with two all-terrain wheels that are ultra-durable, puncture-resistant, and can handle all types of weather. The handle folds down and tucks into the body of the cooler, keeping things as compact as possible when it's not in use. It's easy to snap in and out, and it has a wide, ergonomic grip for easy hauling. The integrated handles on the body of the cooler also make it easy to tie into your truck bed with ratchet straps or secure in your car to keep it safe on bumpy roads. One thing worth taking into account is that because this cooler is so heavy-duty, it has some serious heft to it. The whole thing weighs in at over 30 pounds, and when you've packed it full of cans and snacks, it's even heavier. That's definitely something to consider if you're planning on hauling it in and out of your car alone, or will be taking it across uneven stretches of ground that the wheels can't handle. Otherwise, it's near-perfect.
