Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, Nikola Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its direct domestic subsidiaries on February 19, 2025, filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Filing”).
On February 19, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1. Pursuant to the Delisting Notice, Nasdaq’s determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Bankruptcy Filing and associated public interest concerns raised by it, (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders, and (iii) concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Delisting Notice indicates that the trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq will be suspended at the opening of business on February 26, 2025, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing on Nasdaq.
The Company does not intend to appeal the Staff’s determination. Therefore, the Company expects that the trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq will be suspended at the opening of business on February 26, 2025.
