OpenAI Foundation — key-event: OpenAI reverses: nonprofit will retain governance control of PBC
The source directly confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) The announcement is dated May 5, 2025, matching the 'as of 2025-05' timeframe; (2) The nonprofit retains governance control of the PBC structure; (3) The decision was made under pressure from California AG, Delaware AG, and civic leaders; (4) The original plan would have involved a different structure (the 'complex capped-profit structure' that is being replaced). The source explicitly states the nonprofit will 'continue to be overseen and controlled by that nonprofit' and that this decision was made 'after hearing from civic leaders and engaging in constructive dialogue' with both state attorneys general.
