Velodyne Lidar, Inc. is a Santa Clara-based lidar sensor manufacturer that entered the public markets through a de-SPAC merger with Graf Industrial Corp., a blank-check vehicle sponsored by Graf Industrial Holdings LLC that completed its IPO in 2018 targeting the industrial and automotive technology sectors. The combination closed in September 2020, with the merged company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker VLDR. This Form 10-Q, filed in August 2019 under SEC CIK 1745317, predates the business combination and reflects Velodyne's standalone SEC reporting obligations during the pre-merger period. Velodyne subsequently merged with lidar competitor Ouster, Inc. in February 2023. Sign up for SpacDesk to access complete filing histories, sponsor profiles, and deal analytics across the SPAC market.
