☆ Nikola founder urges vote against critical share proposal
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Abhirup Roy | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Nikola said Milton's social media post "misstates the facts," adding in a statement to Reuters that the proposal to increase its share base could pass without his support. Nikola postponed a vote on the plan to July 6, after failing to secure enough support at a shareholder meeting last week. The share issue is critical for the company which, like other electric vehicle makers, is facing a cash crunch and weak demand. "The company does not need new shares, they need new leadership," he said. Nikola has been urging shareholders for weeks to vote in favor of its Proposal 2, saying "without these additional shares, Nikola's ability to continue its ongoing operations and objectives, including Nikola's need for capital, will be out of reach."

Companies Nikola Corp FollowJune 16 (Reuters) - Nikola (NKLA.O) said on Friday it would lay off a total of 270 employees, as the electric-truck maker looks to cut costs and sharpen its focus on the North American marketplace. Of the 270 employees impacted, 150 were supporting Nikola's European operations and 120 were based at its sites in Phoenix and Coolidge. The decision would help Nikola reduce personnel-related cash spend by $50 million annually, the company said. Annual cash usage for the company was expected to decrease to under $400 million by 2024, Nikola added. Investors have been closely scrutinizing cash reserves at Nikola and other electric-vehicle makers amid fears slowing sales could push the companies to pursue more share disposals to raise funds.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File PhotoJune 16 (Reuters) - Electric-vehicle startups from Nikola (NKLA.O) to Lordstown Motors (RIDE.O) were set on Friday to extend a blistering rally in their shares that has put the cash-strapped companies on track for hefty weekly gains. For instance Nikola, which has more than doubled in value this week, has a short interest of 15.7%, according to Refinitiv. The EV startups, meanwhile, have added over $500 million to their collective market value. Nikola shares were 20% higher before the bell on Friday at $1.65, on course to stay above the minimum level for the third straight session. Still, many challenges remain for the EV startups, evidenced by the year-to-date stock price declines of 35% and 75% seen at Nikola and Lordstown, respectively.

It took an unheralded center from Serbia who turned into the most formidable player in the game and a Canadian point guard who found himself again after a long and arduous recovery from a career-threatening knee injury. It took patience, collaboration and a discipline born of trying, failing and learning how to keep climbing just a bit higher. The Denver Nuggets are N.B.A. They beat the Miami Heat, 94-89, in Game 5 to seal the victory.

A few glints here and there — a glittering bracelet and large stud earrings — added a little sparkle. There are ways in which he seems unassuming, perhaps because he is often overshadowed by his teammate Nikola Jokic.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7 (Reuters) - Nikola (NKLA.O) adjourned its shareholder meeting on Wednesday after failing to garner enough support for a proposal to increase the number of shares the electric truck maker is allowed to issue, delaying its prospects of raising much-needed capital. The company, like other electric vehicle makers, has been grappling with dwindling cash and weakening demand amid fears of a recession. While some proposals require a majority of shares voted, Proposal 2 needs more than 50% of all outstanding shares in favor to pass. "More than 77% of shares voted through June 6 have been in favor of Proposal 2, but more time is needed to obtain the required vote," Nikola said in a statement, adding that the meeting will reconvene on July 6. Nikola shares have dropped about 73% this year to 59 cents as of Wednesday's close, below Nasdaq's $1 threshold.
