common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for

外国会社臨時報告書
holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by
our board of directors out of assets legally available. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of
liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of
common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no
redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
We have certain outstanding securities that may be converted, exercised or exchanged into shares of our
common stock.
Registration Rights
Certain holders of unregistered common stock purchased in private placements, or their permitted
transferees, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of such shares under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. These rights are provided under the terms of an investors’ rights
agreement between us and the holders of these shares, or the investors’ rights agreement, and include
demand registration rights, short-form registration rights and piggyback registration rights. All fees, costs
and expenses of underwritten registrations will be borne by us and all selling expenses, including
underwriting discounts and selling commissions, will be borne by the holders of the shares being
registered.
The registration rights terminate with respect to the registration rights of an individual holder after the
date that is five years following such time when the holder can sell all of the holder’s shares in any three
month period under Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act, unless such holder
holds at least 2% of our voting stock.
Listing
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TSLA.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws contain
certain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing another party from
acquiring control of us. These provisions and certain provisions of Delaware law, which are summarized
below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These
provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate
first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential
ability to negotiate more favorable terms with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the
disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us.

Limits on Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent or Call a Special Meeting
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders may not act by
written consent, which may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result,
a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our amended and restated
bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our
amended and restated bylaws.
In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be
called only by the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer, the president (in the absence of a
chief executive officer), or our board of directors. Stockholders may not call a special meeting, which
may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for holders controlling a
majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder
proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at
the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. These provisions may
have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not
followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a
solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of our company.
Board Classification
Our board of directors is divided into three classes, one class of which is elected each year by our
stockholders, and the directors in each class will serve for a three-year term. A third party may be
discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us as it is more
difficult and time-consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board.
No Cumulative Voting
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not permit
cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a stockholder to vote a portion or
all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on the board of directors. Without cumulative voting,
a minority stockholder may not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors as the stockholder
would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it
more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence our board’s
decision regarding a takeover.
Amendment of Charter Provisions

外国会社臨時報告書
The amendment of the above provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires
approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating
corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from
engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a
period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:
prior to the date of the transaction, our board of directors approved either the business combination or
the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder,
the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at
the time the transaction commenced, calculated as provided under Section 203; or
at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of
directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent,
by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by
the interested stockholder.
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in
a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder
status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this
provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not
approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may also discourage attempts that might result in
a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
The provisions of Delaware law and the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from
attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they might also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the
market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts.
These provisions might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that
these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders might otherwise
deem to be in their best interests.
