Shares of electric vehicle startup Lordstown Motors disclosed on Monday that a funding deal with Foxconn is in jeopardy – and that it may go bankrupt if the deal doesn't happen. Foxconn paid the first $52.7 million due under that deal last year, but the remainder – and the deal itself – is now in jeopardy. That approval was secured on April 25, Lordstown said, meaning that Foxconn is obliged to make that investment by May 8.
