Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ:NKLA) shares are trading lower Tuesday amid broad market weakness. Steven Shindler, Chairman of the Board at Nikola, recorded a video addressing one of the five proposals to be voted on at the company's annual stockholder meeting.
The Details:
Nikola encouraged shareholders to vote "Yes" to all five proposals, including Proposal 2 for a reverse stock split. The company said it anticipates a positive impact from the reverse stock split which would address potential delisting concerns and reset the company's financial foundation.
"We must eliminate the distraction of delisting and position ourselves to raise capital more efficiently and effectively. We believe that if we can achieve a share price at a more consistent level with the Russell 3000 companies, it will encourage investor interest and improve the marketability of our common stock to an even broader range of investors," Shindler said in the recorded video statement.
Nikola also invited stockholders to continue submitting questions, as it said ongoing communications are planned to provide answers to those most frequently asked.
