Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will no longer try to reclassify the company’s stock, settling a major class-action lawsuit with shareholders.
Zuckerberg wanted to reclassify Facebook’s stock so he could sell shares — to fund the ambitious philanthropic projects he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are leading — while retaining control of the company.
