Canoo Inc. traces its origins to Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. IV (Nasdaq: HCIV), a blank-check company that completed its initial public offering in 2019 under the sponsorship of Hennessy Capital Group, targeting the automotive and transportation sector. The Form 10-Q filed on November 8, 2019 reflects the SPAC during its pre-combination operating period. The company subsequently merged with electric vehicle startup Canoo Holdings in December 2020 and began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker GOEV. Following the combination, Canoo encountered severe financial difficulties and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in January 2025.
