VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. Closes Full Over-Allotment Option with Respect to Initial Public Offering


NEW YORK, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") today announced that it has completed the sale of an additional 3,000,000 units pursuant to the 45-day over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in its initial public offering at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $30,000,000.

The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 23,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $230,000,000        

A total of $232,300,000, which includes the net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option, net proceeds from the initial closing of the initial public offering and proceeds of the private placements conducted simultaneously with the initial closing of the initial public offering and the closing of the over-allotment option, has now been placed into a trust account for the benefit of the Company's public stockholders.

The Company's units began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "VTIQU" on May 16, 2018. Each unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock and one redeemable warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Company expects that its common stock and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols ''VTIQ'' and ''VTIQW,'' respectively.

The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company's efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although it intends to focus its search for a target business in the industrial technology, transportation and smart mobility industries.
