Does Foxconn Own Lordstown Motors Now? - What's Going On
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Lordstown Motors Corp (RIDE) has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after a rescue deal with Foxconn (HNHPF) failed. The deal involved Foxconn injecting cash and taking over production for Lordstown Motors. However, a dispute arose over the terms of a reverse stock split, with Foxconn claiming it was entitled to purchase 62.7% of Lordstown's common stock. Lordstown's shares were trading at around $3.70 after the reverse split, making the purchase unappealing for Foxconn. In the bankruptcy case, Lordstown intends to sell its remaining assets and IP, with Foxconn being a potential buyer.
