The Information：Anthropic 尋求在 IPO 前讓共同創辦人掌握 50.1% 投票控制權

9 月 24 日（路透社）——The Information 週四引述知情人士報導，Anthropic 正要求股東批准新的公司架構，將授予執行長達里歐・阿莫迪（Dario Amodei）及其他 6 名共同創辦人合計 50.1% 的投票權。Sept 24 (Reuters) - Anthropic is asking shareholders to approve a new corporate structure that would award CEO Dario Amodei and his six co-founders a combined 50.1% of voting power, The Information reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the planning.

報導指出，這項新安排仿效帕蘭提爾（Palantir）的創辦人控制架構，將授予共同創辦人一種特殊類別股票，使他們在多數公司事務上擁有集體投票控制權；只要 7 名共同創辦人中有 3 人仍持有公司最低數量的股份，該安排就會持續適用。The new arrangement, which emulates a founder-control structure at Palantir, would award the co-founders a special class of shares giving them collective voting control in most corporate matters, and would apply as long as three of the seven co-founders retain a minimum number of shares in the company, according to the report.

Anthropic 未立即回應路透社的採訪請求。Anthropic did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

報導稱，創辦人控制權的一項重大例外，是 Anthropic 董事會成員的選舉。該董事會共有 7 個席次，其中 1 席目前懸缺。One significant exception to the founders' control is the election of the members on Anthropic's board, which has seven seats, one of which is currently vacant, according to the report.

報導指出，該公司也計劃給予員工一種特殊類別股票，作為部分公司議題表決僵局時的決定票。The company is also planning to give employees a special class of stock that would serve as tie-breaker votes on some corporate issues, the report said.

Anthropic 數月來一直被視為企業人工智慧領域的領先者，目前正籌備可能成為史上最大規模之一的首次公開發行（IPO）。Anthropic, which has been viewed for months as the leader in enterprise AI, is preparing for what could be one of the biggest IPOs on record.

路透社本月稍早報導，該公司可能把 IPO 推遲到 11 月美國期中選舉之後，而這場選舉預料不會對此次發行造成重大影響。The company could push its IPO to after the US midterm elections in November, with the poll not expected to have a major impact on the offering, Reuters reported earlier this month.
