Nikola Corp

Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA) reached public markets through its June 2020 business combination with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by VectoIQ LLC and focused on the commercial vehicle and clean energy transportation sector. VectoIQ conducted its IPO in 2018 before announcing the Nikola merger; the 8-K filing dated May 12, 2020 represents a key disclosure milestone in that de-SPAC process. Nikola, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric semi-trucks, subsequently traded on Nasdaq under the ticker NKLA before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February 2025.
