On November 10, 2026, NVIDIA’s independent board members announced that they had retained Joon H. Kim, a former acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, and his firm, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, to conduct a comprehensive, independent inquiry. They said the retention had been announced on Sunday, November 8. The statement therefore confirms the appointment of outside investigators and emphasizes that the board’s review is intended to be independent.
It does not identify the events or conduct being examined, explain what prompted the investigation, define its scope, or give an expected completion date. It reports no findings, interim conclusions, or board actions beyond retaining Kim and his firm. The substance is procedural: NVIDIA’s independent directors have engaged external legal counsel to investigate an unspecified matter. Anyone looking for details about the underlying issue, the evidence being considered, or potential consequences will not find them in this announcement.
