BylideGotgeruuanuret-I I-lisdl July12,2022 SAN FRANCISCO 'IWitter sued Elon Musk on Thesday to force the billionaire to complete his $44 billion acquisition of the company, setting the stage for a prolonged legal battle over the fate of the social media service. Mr. Musk agreed in April to buy Miter but declared last week that he intended to walk away from the deal. 'Ih push Mr. Musk to abide by the acquisition agreement, Witter sued him in Chancery Court in Delaware. The court will determine whether he remains on the hook for the purchase or whether Twitter violated its obligation to provide Mr. Musk with data he requested, entitling him to walk away. \"Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Thritter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests,\" the company said in the suit. \"Musk apparently believes that he unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away\" At the heart of the case is the issue of disclosure. To terminate the deal, Mr. Musk claimed that Twitter balked at handing over information about spam bots, also known as fake accounts, on the platform. He repeatedly said he did not believe the company's public statements that roughly 5 percent of its active users are bots. Twitter intentionally misled the public, he said. and obstructed his efforts to get more information about how it accounts for the figures.

The company has said that it is confident in its gures about spam accounts, and that it uses experts in spam to audit the caunt and ensure its accuracy. In its suit, 'l'witter argued that Mr. Musk, who also leads the automaker 'Ihsla, wanted to exit the deal because of changes in the stock market that affected his wealth. (Tesla's stock has fallen in recent months.) Twitter said the billionaire used his complaints about bots as a pretext to wriggle out of the agreement. Mr. Musk also broke an agreement not to publicly insult Mner executives and he \"covertly abandoned" his efforts to secure debt funding for the deal, the lawsuit said. In doing so, the social media company said be breached his obligations to use \"reasonable best efforts\" to get a deal done. \"Musk wanted an escape,\" the company said. \"But the merger agreement left him little room\" Mr. Musk didn't respond to a request for comment. Sean Edgett, 'I'witter's general counsel, informed employees of the suit in an internal memo on Tuesday and said the company had also "filed a motion for an expedited trial alongside the complaint, asking for the case to he heard in September, as it is critically important for this matter to be resolved quickly.\" 'I'wiiIEr's chief executive, Parag Agrawal, wrote in response, "We took this opportunity to tell our story and defend our company, our people and our stockholders,\" adding: \"We plan to hold the buyer fully accountable to fulfill his
