Northern Genesis (NYSE:NGA) announced that its shareholders approved its business combination with EV-maker Lion Electric at its special meeting held earlier today.
The business combination will now be completed shortly, however the parties have opted to wait until Northern Genesis has had the opportunity to file an amended 10-K, re-stating its warrants as derivative liabilities in response to recent SEC comments. The deal must also be approved by regulatory bodies in Lion’s home jurisdiction of Quebec.
Northern Genesis did not disclose redemption figures in its press release, but they are unlikely to have been significant as the SPAC has not traded below $13 yet this year and opened ahead of the vote at $15.99.
The two sides initially announced their $1.5 billion combination on November 30. Lion produces all-electric heavy trucks, buses and minibuses for the school, paratransit, and mass transit markets. All other measures on the ballot also passed, however Northern Genesis has not yet filed an 8-K outlining full tallies.
