OpenAI Foundation — board-seats-controlled: All PBC board seats (sole appointment and removal authority)

NoteThe source directly confirms the claim. The relevant passage states that the OpenAI Foundation holds 'special voting and governance rights' that give it sole authority to 'appoint all members of the board of directors of OpenAI Group and can replace directors at any time.' This matches the claim's assertion that the Foundation has 'sole appointment and removal authority' over 'all PBC board seats.' The source is dated October 28, 2025 (matching the claim's 'as of 2025-10' timeframe), and the Wayback Machine timestamp shows March 11, 2026, confirming this is current information about the recapitalization structure.
