• CEO Mark Russell highlights importance of ALL stockholders' votes in new video

PHOENIX, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy infrastructure solutions, strongly urges ALL stockholders to vote IMMEDIATELY for Proposal 2 ahead of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on August 2, 2022.

Thanks to the support of its stockholders, Nikola is less than 0.5% short of the outstanding shares needed to be voted in favor to approve Proposal 2, which would allow the Company to increase the authorized number of common shares from 600 million to 800 million. Proposal 2 has a high threshold for approval ? it requires a majority of outstanding common stock to be voted in favor for approval. This threshold effectively means that shares that are not voted have the same practical impact as a vote against this important proposal.

Nikola's Chief Executive Officer Mark Russell also released a video message to stockholders reiterating the importance of their vote, which can be accessed here or via Nikola's social media channels.

Every vote matters and all stockholders, even if they hold only a handful of shares, play a critical role in approving Proposal 2 to give Nikola the flexibility to support the future growth and development of its business. VOTE FOR Proposal 2 NOW, if you have not already. Stockholders must VOTE by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 1, 2022, to ensure their vote is counted.
