Fisker CEO Henrik Fisker told staff during an all-hands meeting on Thursday that the company was in talks with four automakers for a potential buyout, according to a recording of the event viewed by Business Insider.
據《商業內幕》觀看的活動錄音顯示，菲斯克首席執行官亨裏克·菲斯克在週四的全體會議上告訴員工，該公司正在與四家汽車製造商就可能的收購進行談判。
"We still have some time to get other offers on Fisker," he told staff on Thursday. "We do have four car companies that have signed NDAs. However, they obviously need time to get to some diligence."
他在週四對工作人員說：“我們還有一些時間在Fisker上獲得其他報價。”“我們確實有四家汽車公司簽署了保密協議。但是，他們顯然需要時間來進行一些調查。”
The company did not specify who the four automakers were or how long it may take for the companies to complete due diligence as they work toward a potential agreement.
該公司沒有具體說明這四家汽車製造商是誰，也沒有具體說明兩家公司在努力達成潛在協議時可能需要多長時間才能完成盡職調查。
A deal with a major automaker that was rumored to be Nissan fell through earlier this year. The CEO told his staff on Thursday that the company has been working with Deutsche Bank to find a buyer. One offer to buy the company hadn't been "sufficient," he said, according to the recording.
今年早些時候，與一家傳聞是日產的大型汽車製造商的協議失敗了。首席執行官週四告訴員工，該公司一直在與德意志銀行合作尋找買家。他說，根據錄音，一項收購該公司的提議 “還不夠”。
The all-hands meeting comes two days after Fisker warned investors it could seek bankruptcy protection within 30 days if it could not shore up more liquidity. The company said in the regulatory filing that it had just $54 million in cash equivalencies as of April 16 and "believes that its available liquidity will not be sufficient to meet its current obligations."
這次全體會議是在菲斯克警告投資者如果無法增加流動性，它可能會在30天內尋求破產保護的兩天後舉行的。該公司在 監管備案 截至4月16日，它只有5400萬美元的現金等價物，並且 “認爲其可用流動性不足以償還其當前債務”。
