Meta董事会希望马克·扎克伯格继续留任。该公司在第三季度财报中宣布设立新类别的无投票权C类股票。
Meta's board wants Mark Zuckerberg to stick around. The company announced a new category of non-voting Class C stock in its third-quarter earnings report.
财报列举了创建新股类的若干理由，其中之一就是让首席执行官保持控制权。
It listed several reasons for creating the new class — one of which is to keep the CEO in control.
Meta董事会设立的一个特别委员会认定，扎克伯格是带领公司走向未来的最佳人选，并强调了这位首席执行官的创意愿景和管理能力。
A Special Committee established by Meta's board determined that Zuckerberg was the best fit to lead the company into its future, and highlighted the CEO's creative vision and management abilities.
Meta表示：“C类普通股的设立将延续自公司创立以来推动其成功的创始人主导模式。”财报还称，该股类还将为Meta提供为其增长融资的能力。Meta在人工智能及为其提供动力的数据中心上投入巨资。公司报告第三季度资本支出为349.1亿美元。
"The creation of the Class C common stock will continue the founder-led model that has driven the company's success since its inception," Meta said. The stock class will also provide Meta the ability to finance its growth, the earnings report said. Meta is spending big on AI and the data centers needed to power it. The company reported $34.91 billion in third-quarter capital expenditures.
Meta的新闻稿称，此次分配实际上相当于向现有股东进行两股拆一股的股票拆分。Meta首席财务官苏珊·李表示，该股票将分配给现有股东。
Meta's press release said the distribution would effectively amount to a two-for-one stock split for existing shareholders. Susan Li, Meta's chief financial officer, said that the stock will be distributed to existing shareholders.
其他科技公司也曾发行股票以在不稀释首席执行官投票权的情况下获取新资本。谷歌曾于2012年出于类似原因进行股票拆分。《Semafor》率先报道了这一新股类。扎克伯格长期以来一直是Meta的代言人。
Other tech companies have issued stock to access new capital without diluting their CEO's voting power. Google performed a stock split in 2012 for a similar reason. Semafor was first to report the new stock class. Zuckerberg has long been the face of Meta.
他在人工智能热潮中强化了自己的领导地位，进入“创业模式”并亲自参与技术工作。他甚至把办公桌搬到了人工智能团队附近。
He's strengthened his leadership through the AI boom, going "startup mode" and getting hands-on with the tech. He even moved his desk closer to the AI team.
Muse——Meta的人工智能代理——的成功提升了另一位Meta高管亚历山大·王的知名度。
The success of Muse, Meta's AI agent, has raised the profile of another Meta executive: Alexandr Wang.
这位首席人工智能官曾与扎克伯格一起录制播客，并在主题演讲中登台发言。
The chief AI officer has joined Zuckerberg for podcasts and spoken onstage at keynotes.
《金融时报》上周的一篇人物专访将王吹捧为“扎克伯格的潜在继任者”。显然，董事会希望扎克伯格长期留任。
A Financial Times profile last week touted Wang as a "potential successor to Zuckerberg." It's clear the board wants Zuckerberg there for the long haul.
