## Summary

Nvidia's board is leading an internal investigation into CEO Jensen Huang after he admitted to an affair with a Chinese businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence agencies believe is a Chinese spy. The board is working with outside counsel and is led by independent director Stephen Neal, a Cooley LLP lawyer. The board says it has "no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised," while China has dismissed the espionage claims.
