Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 7, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that the matters raised in Nasdaq’s April 19, 2023 letter regarding the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”) were now closed.
As previously disclosed, the Company and Foxconn (as defined below) have a dispute concerning whether the April 19 Nasdaq letter regarding the Bid Price Requirement caused a failure of a condition to closing Foxconn’s purchase of approximately 10% of the Company’s Class A common stock for $47.3 million (the “Subsequent Common Closing”). The Company believes that there was no failure of any closing condition and, in any event, the Bid Price Requirement has been met and the Company remains ready, willing and able to close the transaction as originally required by the Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) entered into by the Company on November 7, 2022 with Foxconn Ventures Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of global technology company Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”).
On June 5, 2023, the Company received the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 in which Foxconn did not acknowledge its obligation to complete the Subsequent Common Closing and instead asserted that Foxconn’s reading of the Investment Agreement would not allow for the adjustment of the number of shares to be purchased on account of the Company’s recent reverse stock split. Foxconn’s interpretation would give Foxconn the right to purchase a windfall of over 60% of the Company’s Class A common stock for $47.3 million. The Company rejects Foxconn’s interpretation of the Investment Agreement and has so advised Foxconn in a letter dated June 7, 2023 attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
The matters set forth in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 are incorporated by reference herein.
In light of Foxconn’s conduct, the Company believes that it is unlikely that Foxconn will complete the Subsequent Common Closing. The Company believes that Foxconn’s various breaches of the Investment Agreement and pattern of bad faith have caused material and irreparable harm to the Company. Absent a prompt resolution, the Company intends to enforce its rights through litigation.
400 million now, SMH it's been reported to Edgar or the SEC.
400 million! Check the reports.

BWAHAHAHA!!!!
Let’s see see if Lordstown motors delivers a death blow to shorts this week, or if it’s self inflicted.
220 million. That’s not bankrupt little buddy!
Lordstown Cash On Hand
You tell me what this says then.
No viable product means no real revenue. Same difference.
Short selling central banks are all insolvent, worldwide.
Loser Brokers and Hedge Funds are the ones going bankrupt at an accelerated level and speed.
No fear here, Hightower has it under control.
Lordstown is not bankrupt. What nonsense is this.
Lordstown is bankrupt, It's only a matter of time until they're forced to announce it, but they're trying to hold out until the last instant. So hard to believe Steve Burns is walking around a free man.
D-day is this week for RIDE.
Will Foxconn follow through after RIDE NASDAQ compliance or continue in its legal breach of the contract with Lordstown?
I am actively looking for the best publicly-traded company in the tinfoil-hat space.
RIDE “investors” have any suggestions? I think I could clean up. Beats RIDE, whose adjusted price is less than 20 cents.
I agree, Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street are already insolvent with multiple thousands of deep state central banks worldwide.
The entire Earth is moving to Gold and Silver backed currencies with BRICS. The Fiat central bank Swift system days are over.
Citadel and others are soon to vanish and won't be allowed into BRICS.
Margin calls will now be paid in Gold, Silver and precious metals assets where Fiat dollars will not be accepted.
The reverse stock split occurred because Citadel, Goldman coordinated with MMs to sell the stock to under $1 in order to frustrate to Foxconn deal, destroy shareholders (unintended victims), as they stalk me and attack any stocks I own. I have several active ongoing SEC, DOJ, FBI complaints regarding the fraud/crime. "CRIME," because they also hacked my PCs to gather information to continue manipulating stocks in my portfolio. These are facts that are contained in the complaints with regulators and FBI.
You can see www.marketmakerfraud.com on why the MMs are coordinating to manipulate RIDE. See Twitter posts under @igbo_man.
Extremely Low volume head fake while Central Banks fully insolvent, worldwide.
Let’s see…
…What’s $3.09 divided by 15?
Oh yah…$0.206.
Buying this stock is as bad as buying a Bud beer or their stock.
Govt. contract for 6 and 8 seaters in the midst.
Just a single announcement will crash short selling banks
and Hedge Funds. Blackrock and Vanguard already holding
on for dear life.
Thousands of central banks have already closed. 4800 in the US alone.
RIDE is stepping on its own d—k because it doesn’t have a vehicle to sell.
That’s it. Plain and simple.
The Govt. is stepping in on this one.
Shorts will be crushed.
LOL - what do you mean? Everyone likes to stop for a recharge every 90 minutes - it's called Union Rules buddy!
production version has an EPA Combined range of just 174 miles
FAILURE
Europe? Right. Or maybe Australia. SMH LoL
Didn’t you once sing his praises?
Do you believe that this stock is dead in the water?
Edward Hightower reminds me more and more of the Rev Hightower in the Scarlet Letter. He was father to Scarlet in Hawthorne's Scarlett Letter.
He should be made to wear a badge of shame in SCARLET for his screwing the shareholders.
Charity begins at home.
Where are the Great Lakes located?
Criminal.
Steven Burns needs to go to jail.
If you had invested $250k back when Steven Burns was saying they had 100k firm pre-orders and would start production by September of 2021, you now have approx. $2067.00 residual value left in your account after today's RS - or in other words, you've lost $248k of your "investment".
And not a single word from the SEC.
Looks like this scam will be dropping about .50 per day until we are under $1.00 again.
LMFAO
It’s over DP. Time to move on and cut your losses.
This will be under $1 before 10 days gets here!
You tell me padre!
So what. The stock is toast either way.
Already down 12% after RS.
Company management are a group of con artists!
Just milking the cash cow til it’s bone dry.
Ihub still showing OLD SS data! It's 15mm issued.
Why is IHUB still showing old data???
RIDE's "Early investors" got in around $10.00. That would make it more like $150.00.
I believe the investors that bought in @ or over $20.00 would be better referred to as "chasers".
This should make the effective share price something like $450 if you were an early investor like me.
Steven Burns needs to go to jail. I'm hoping a class action will start soon.
Which will come first? Delisting or BK?
Already down 10% after the RS. POS!!!
The CEO is a fool to think a RS will save this company without a plan in place to turn things around.
They are just milking the cow dry now!
Surprised at how well RIDE is holding up on the eve of an RS.
Lordstown Motors Corp. Announces Reverse Stock Split
Go Back
May 23, 2023
https://investor.lordstownmotors.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lordstown-motors-corp-announces-reverse-stock-split
LORDSTOWN, Ohio, May 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lordstown Motors Corp. (Nasdaq: RIDE), (“Lordstown Motors,” “LMC” or the “Company”), an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) of electric vehicles focused on the commercial fleet market, today announced that it will effect a 1:15 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A common stock”), that will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on May 24, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). Lordstown Motors’ Class A common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), under its existing symbol, “RIDE”, when the market opens on May 24, 2023. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Class A common stock will now be 54405Q 209.
The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on May 22, 2023, with the final ratio determined by the Company’s board of directors. The Company has filed an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect the Reverse Stock Split as of the Effective Time.
The Reverse Stock Split will automatically cause each 15 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock to be combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock. Outstanding equity-based awards and other outstanding equity rights will be proportionately adjusted. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Class A common stock will instead receive cash in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Class A common stock on Nasdaq on May 23, 2023, as adjusted to account for the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the par value or authorized number of shares of Class A common stock and will not change the par value or the authorized or outstanding number of shares of the Company’s preferred stock, including its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to improve the marketability and liquidity of the Class A common stock. A higher market price can make the Class A common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional investors, professional investors, and other members of the investing public. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split is intended to increase the per share market price of the Class A common stock in order to satisfy Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement (the “Bid Price Requirement”).
As previously disclosed, the Company and Foxconn (as defined below) have a dispute concerning whether the April 21, 2023 letter the Company received from Nasdaq regarding the Bid Price Requirement caused a failure of a condition to closing Foxconn’s purchase of approximately 10% of the Company’s common stock for $47.3 million. The Company believes that there was no failure of any closing condition, and the Company was ready, willing and able to close that transaction on May 8, 2023, as required by the Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) entered into by the Company on November 7, 2022 with Foxconn Ventures Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of global technology company Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”). Foxconn took a contrary position and refused to close. The Company reserves all rights against Foxconn, including rights arising out of its failure to timely close the stock purchase. If the reverse split causes the Class A common stock price to remain above $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days and Nasdaq notifies the Company that the Bid Price Requirement has been satisfied, that may satisfy Foxconn’s (incorrect) interpretation of the closing condition and cause Foxconn to close the transaction. The Company remains ready, willing and able to close. No assurance can be given regarding the impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the stock price or that Foxconn will meet its obligation to close, even if the stock price remains above $1.00 for the 10 trading-day period. While the Company remains willing to negotiate with Foxconn in an effort to resolve its disputes, no agreement currently exists and the Company cannot predict whether such an agreement will be reached in the future.
Since start of commercial production, the Company has completed 56 Endurance vehicles and delivered 18 to customers, 12 since resuming deliveries in late April. The Endurance continues to improve with each software update, and our team is encouraged by the most recent customer feedback. In light of the Foxconn dispute and the uncertainty regarding whether or to what extent Foxconn will fulfill its funding obligations under the Investment Agreement, the Company has taken aggressive actions to reduce costs and preserve liquidity. As of April 30, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $165 million, a decrease of approximately $11 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Additional information on the Reverse Stock Split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2023, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website, www.lordstownmotors.com.

Nu Ride's new five-person board is expected to appoint William Gallagher, managing director of M3 Partners — a transaction advisory firm in New York — as Nu Ride's president and CEO, according to the regulatory filing.
Gallagher faced a situation similar to Nu Ride as CEO at WMIH Corp., the public acquisition corporation that succeeded Washington Mutual Inc. — the parent of WaMu Bank in Seattle that was seized by federal thrift regulators in fall 2008. By January 2015, the shell company left over from the failure of Washington Mutual had raised close to $600 million to pursue acquisitions of financial companies that could benefit from its huge, tax-deductible losses, according to a report by the Seattle Times.
Gallagher took over as leader of WMIH in May 2015 "to oversee its acquisition strategy and manage its day-to-day affairs," according to M3 Partners.
He was responsible for "reviewing, vetting and analyzing a large number of potential target companies from a variety of different sectors and industry groups," M3 says.
"Ultimately, WMIH acquired Nationstar Mortgage Holdings to form Mr. Cooper Group," M3 says. Gallagher departed from WMIH after closing the Nationstar acquisition in July 2018.
Bill Gallagher has more than 35 years of experience in finance, investment and financial restructurings. He brings deep expertise in credit analysis and has long-term management experience in the financial services industry.
Prior to joining M3, Bill was the Chief Executive Officer at WMIH Corp (NASDAQ:WMIH), a public acquisition corporation which was the successor to Washington Mutual, Inc., from May 2015 to July 2018. Bill was recruited to WMIH to oversee its acquisition strategy and manage its day-to-day affairs. While there, he worked closely with WMIH’s strategic financial partner, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. At WMIH, Bill’s responsibilities included reviewing, vetting and analyzing a large number of potential target companies from a variety of different sectors and industry groups. Ultimately, WMIH acquired Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NYSE symbol NSM) to form Mr. Cooper Group (NASDAQ:COOP). Bill departed from WMIH upon the closing of the acquisition of Nationstar as his job at WMIH was completed.
Prior to WMIH, Bill was CEO and Chief Risk Officer at Capmark Financial Group, formerly known as GMAC Commercial Mortgage (from March 2009 to May 2015). Bill was retained by Capmark to manage its financial restructuring following the global economic crisis and was responsible for the management of the company’s day-to-day affairs, the restructuring of both the company and its assets (including its $15 billion commercial loan portfolio), its bankruptcy process, and its winding down and distribution of assets to creditors and other stakeholders. Capmark was a highly successful restructuring as Bill and his colleagues significantly increased the recovery value to Capmark’s creditors.
Before joining Capmark, Bill was the Chief Credit Officer of RBS Greenwich Capital, the US fixed income investment banking business of the Royal Bank of Scotland, where he was responsible for all aspects of credit risk management. While at RBS Greenwich, Bill was responsible for a wide variety of US corporations and buy-side companies, including corporate borrowers and debt issuers, financial institutions, industrial companies with captive finance businesses, and a variety of US corporations who traded various securities with or through RBS Greenwich.
Earlier in his career, Bill was a Vice President at First Boston Corporation in that firm’s credit risk management department. At First Boston, Bill was responsible for managing credit risk to a wide variety of corporate issuers and financial institutions. Bill began his career at Chemical Bank, where he completed the bank’s credit training program and then worked as a loan officer in the middle market division and a credit officer in the financial institutions division.
Bill has a B.S. in business administration from Syracuse University and an MBA from New York University.
