  新浪科技讯 北京时间2月9日上午消息,美国对冲基金绿光资本(Greenlight Capital)掌门人大卫·埃因霍恩(David Einhorn)本周四在曼哈顿地区法院对苹果提起诉讼,试图阻止苹果在公司章程中删除有关优先股的条款。埃因霍恩正在施压苹果,希望苹果利用其1370 亿美元现金发行永久优先股,作为向当前股东派发的股息。
  优先股成为争议焦点
  埃因霍恩认为,苹果违反了美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的相关规定。根据规定,在股东为某一动议投票时,企业不得将无关事宜与动议相绑定。不过法律专家认为,判定苹果是否违反了相关规定非常微妙,此前并没有类似案例出现,而SEC的规定也很宽泛,并未给出如何施行的指导意见。
  不过,杜克大学法学院教授詹姆斯·考克斯(James Cox)认为,埃因霍恩把握住了问题的关键,提出了一个很好的案例。埃因霍恩希望法庭发出禁令,阻止苹果在2月27日的股东大会上推动对这项动议的投票。他认为,苹果违反了美国1934年《证券法》的第14章。美国地区法官理查德·萨利文(Richard Sullivan)将于2月22日对本案进行听证,苹果对本案做出回应的最后期限为2月15日。
  本案焦点是苹果提出的第2号动议。苹果寻求在3个方面修改公司章程,包括向董事提供多数投票权,确定苹果股票的票面价值,以及停止发行优先股的权力。埃因霍恩在本案中的代理律师为律师事务所Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld,这是绿光资本的长期法律顾问。苹果尚未选择代理律师,而苹果发言人也拒绝对相关消息置评。
  不过本周五,美国最大的养老基金、持有270万股苹果股份的加州公务员退休系统,以及具有影响力的代理投票公司ISS Proxy Advisory Service均呼吁股东,投票支持这一动议。
  加州公务员退休系统的高级基金经理及企业治理主管安妮·辛普森(Anne Simpson)表示:"所有股东都应当投一票。我们不希望董事会与对冲基金达成协议,只是由于担心诉讼可能导致年度股东大会被取消。这是一个需要谨慎考虑的重大问题,我们希望董事会考虑所有股东,给予机会听听他们的声音。"
  ISS通常认为,将动议绑定在一起不符合股东的最佳利益,但该机构支持不再发行"空白支票"优先股,因为"空白支票"优先股在企业抵御收购时往往会被滥用。该机构在周五的一份公告中表示:"尽管许多投资者可能认为苹果持有现金过多,希望苹果将部分现金回馈股东,但这样的看法并不是普遍的。另一些投资者可能希望将现金用于投资和收购。"
  苹果的回应
  目前尚不清楚苹果将如何对这起诉讼做出回应。本周四,苹果表示,埃因霍恩提起的诉讼具有误导性,而通过第2号动议并不影响苹果未来发行优先股。苹果表示: "目前,公司章程允许董事会未经股东批准发行'空白支票'优先股。如果第2号动议通过,那么股东将有权批准或否决优先股的发行。"
  埃因霍恩是著名的做空投资者以及苹果产品的粉丝。他在接受采访时表示,苹果采用"不景气时期"的投资态度,仅仅只投资最安全、回报率最低的证券。90年代,在乔布斯回归苹果之前,苹果几乎走到了破产边缘。不过乔布斯成功推动了苹果的复苏,而iPhone和iPad等产品已成为全球消费者的"必买品"。濒临破产的经历导致苹果在利用现金时持非常谨慎的态度。
  绿光资本在起诉书中表示,支持苹果三项提议中的两项,但不支持有关优先股发行的一项。埃因霍恩希望苹果以优先股,而非股息或股票回购的方式来回馈股东,他还提出苹果应当发行相当于4%股息的永久优先股。埃因霍恩认为,由于苹果对代理动议进行捆绑的行为,股东要么只能投票支持他们反对的做法,要么只能投票反对他们支持的做法。
  苹果此次还有5项动议需要投票表决。这些动议不涉及修改公司章程,也没有遭到埃因霍恩的反对。这些动议主要关于董事选举和高管薪酬等方面的问题。(维金)
