JPMorgan Chase (JPM) filed a suit against Tesla (TSLA) accusing the company of flagrantly breaching their contract. 

Why this matters: Tesla is in the news again and this time for allegedly failing to deliver on its contractual agreement with JPMorgan. Tesla had sold warrants to JPMorgan in 2014 that would pay off if their “strike price” were below Tesla’s share price upon the warrants’ expiration in June and July 2021. They’ve allegedly failed to keep up their end of the bargain and the bank is now seeking $162.2 million plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and expenses. (Yahoo Finance)
