Nikola Green Light : Nikola, a firm that develops electric trucks, can sell more stock. For the company, this is huge. This green light gives Nikola more opportunities to raise funds to establish its fuel-cell-powered electric Tre semi-truck and a reliable hydrogen refueling network in the U.S. and Canada.
We had several issues on our journey to success. In June and July, Nikola experienced several issues at its annual meetings. A plan failed due to insufficient votes. Trevor Milton, who founded the company, expressed disapproval on social media. Milton stopped working in 2020 but still owns 7.5% of Nikola’s shares and can vote on 5.8% through a firm he owns with someone else. However, Milton encountered issues. In October, he was convicted of three Nikola-related fraud charges. On September 22, he’ll learn his sentence.
This wasn’t Milton’s first attempt to thwart a share increase. The same happened last year. Nikola had to postpone its annual meeting three times to allow more people to vote. Finally, the idea was approved.

What transpired was unexpectedly affected by the law. In Delaware, where Nikola is based, the initial measure had to pass with at least half of the company’s shares. However, on August 1, the law changed to allow a corporation to issue extra shares with more than half of its owners’ consent.
Most June and July voters supported the concept, but not enough to make it happen. After the scheme was approved, Nikola can now sell 1.6 billion shares instead of 800 million. This allows the corporation to make and sell new shares when needed, which suits its finances.
The Tre, the company’s hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric semi-truck, is performing well. By year’s end, they’ll send them. As of August 2, over 200 people have ordered the new truck.
Nikola received approval to sell more shares, allowing them to build more trucks and hydrogen recharging stations in the U.S. and Canada.
On Friday, August 4, Nikola will report its second-quarter performance. The company is excited about the future. They have excellent transit plans that are environmentally friendly.
