Nikola Adjourns and Will Reconvene Annual Meeting of Stockholders on August 3, 2023
Nikola Corporation today announced that its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been adjourned to August 3, 2023 at 1:00 p.m., Pacific Time.
Nikola has received the requisite number of votes to approve all the proposals except for Proposal 2.
Proposal 2, Amendment to Nikola’s Restated Certificate to Increase the Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock, currently requires a majority of all outstanding common stock for approval. A proposed amendment to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law is expected to be effective August 1, 2023. Once effective, the voting threshold for approval to amend a company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares would change from a majority of the outstanding common stock to a majority of the shares actually voting on the proposal. Under this proposed new law, if the annual meeting were to be held today, a sufficient number of shares would have been voted in favor of Proposal 2.
Stockholders must ACTIVELY VOTE by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 2, 2023, for their vote to count. Stockholders as of the close of business on April 10, 2023 are entitled to vote, even if they no longer own the shares. No additional action is required for stockholders who have already voted.
