Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will testify on the witness stand later this month, a rare and high-profile courtroom appearance as his company defends a controversial plan to give shareholders non-voting stock.
Zuckerberg is scheduled to publicly testify in Delaware Chancery court on September 26, 2017, officially kicking off a trial that is also expected to include testimonies by Facebook board members Marc Andreessen, Erskine Bowles, Susan Desmond-Hellmann, and Peter Thiel.
The testimony would mark only the second time that the 33-year old Facebook cofounder, ranked the world’s 5th richest person by Forbes, testifies in public court.
