This prospectus includes industry and market data that we obtained from third-party studies and surveys, filings of public companies in our industry and internal company surveys.

Industry publications and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Although we believe the industry and market data to be reliable as of the date of this prospectus, this information could prove to be inaccurate. Industry and market data could be wrong because of the method by which sources obtained their data and because information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. In addition, we do not know all of the assumptions regarding general economic conditions or growth that were used in preparing the forecasts from the sources relied upon or cited herein.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our Common Stock. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Nikola Corporation We are a technology innovator and integrator, working to develop innovative energy and transportation solutions. We are pioneering a business model that will enable corporate customers to integrate next-generation truck technology, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and related maintenance. By creating this ecosystem, we and our strategic business partners and suppliers hope to build a long-term competitive advantage for clean technology vehicles and next generation fueling solutions.

Our expertise lies in design, innovation, and software and engineering. We assemble, integrate, and commission our vehicles in collaboration with our business partners and suppliers. Our approach has always been to leverage strategic partnerships to help lower cost, increase capital efficiency and increase speed to market.

Summary Risk Factors Investing in our Common Stock involves substantial risk, as more fully described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read these risks before you invest in our Common Stock. We may be unable, for many reasons, including those that are beyond our control, to implement our business strategy. Some of the more significant risks associated with our business include the following: • We are an early stage company with a history of losses, and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future. • We may be unable to adequately control the costs associated with our operations. • Our business model has yet to be tested and any failure to commercialize our strategic plans would have an adverse effect on our operating results and business, harm our reputation and could result in substantial liabilities that exceed our resources. • Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. • We will need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available to us when we need them. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected. • If we fail to manage our future growth effectively, we may not be able to market and sell our vehicles successfully. • Our bundled lease model may present unique problems that may have an adverse effect on our operating results and business and harm our reputation. • We may face legal challenges in one or more states attempting to sell directly to customers which could materially adversely affect our costs.

• We face risks and uncertainties related to litigation, regulatory actions and government investigations and inquiries. • Our success will depend on our ability to economically manufacture our trucks at scale and build our hydrogen fueling stations to meet our customers’ business needs, and our ability to develop and manufacture trucks of sufficient quality and appeal to customers on schedule and at scale is unproven. • We may experience significant delays in the design, manufacture, launch and financing of our trucks, including in the build out of our manufacturing plant, which could harm our business and prospects.

Background Our company was originally known as VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. On June 3, 2020, VectoIQ consummated the Business Combination with Legacy Nikola pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated as of March 2, 2020 among VectoIQ, Legacy Nikola and Merger Sub. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, VectoIQ changed its name to Nikola Corporation. Legacy Nikola was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the Merger. While VectoIQ was the legal acquirer in the Merger, because Legacy Nikola was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Nikola became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the consummation of the Merger.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Legacy Nikola preferred stock converted into an equal number of shares of Legacy Nikola common stock. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Legacy Nikola common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, including the converted Legacy Nikola preferred stock, converted into the right to receive 1.901 shares of our common stock.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “NKLA.”

Corporate Information We are a Delaware corporation and were incorporated as VectoIQ Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, in January 2018. VectoIQ completed its initial public offering in May 2018. On June 3, 2020, VectoIQ consummated the Business Combination and, in connection therewith, (i) VectoIQ’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Legacy Nikola, whereby Legacy Nikola survived the Merger and was deemed the accounting predecessor of the Merger and will be the successor registrant for SEC purposes and (ii) we changed our name to “Nikola Corporation.” Upon consummation of the foregoing transactions, Legacy Nikola became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Information contained on our website or connected thereto does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part.

THE OFFERING

On June 11, 2021, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Tumim, pursuant to which Tumim has committed to purchase up to $300 million of Common Stock (the “Total Commitment”), at our direction from time to time after the date of this prospectus, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in the Purchase Agreement. Also on June 11, 2021, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Tumim (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we have filed with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act, the shares of Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the time we signed the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, we issued 155,703 Commitment Shares to Tumim as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. The 155,703 Commitment Shares are also covered by this prospectus.

The sales of Common Stock by us to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be subject to certain limitations and may occur, from time to time at our sole discretion, over the approximately 36-month period commencing upon the initial satisfaction of all conditions to Tumim’s purchase obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement,” and the date on which the Commencement occurs, the “Commencement Date”), including that the registration statement that includes this prospectus covering the resale by Tumim of shares of Common Stock that have been and may be issued under the Purchase Agreement is declared effective by the SEC. From and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion, to direct Tumim to purchase certain amounts of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations in the Purchase Agreement, that we specify in purchase notices that we deliver to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement (each such purchase, a “Purchase”). The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock that we may direct Tumim to purchase in a Purchase will be equal to 97% of the arithmetic average of the three daily volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock (“VWAPs”) on Nasdaq during the three consecutive trading day-period commencing on the trading day on which Tumim has received, prior to 8:30 a.m., New York City time, the applicable purchase notice for such Purchase (each such period, a “Purchase Valuation Period”). There is no upper limit on the price per share that Tumim could be obligated to pay for the Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share of Common Stock to be sold in a Purchase will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for such Purchase.

Tumim has no right to require us to sell any shares of Common Stock to Tumim, but Tumim is obligated to make purchases as directed by us, subject to the satisfaction of conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement at Commencement and thereafter at each time that we may direct Tumim to purchase shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Tumim will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for us and our operations.

Under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), in no event may we issue or sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement shares of our Common Stock in excess of 78,769,697 shares (the “Exchange Cap”), which is 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of our Common Stock to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $16.8066 (which represents the average official closing price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement, plus an incremental amount to take into account our issuance of the Commitment Shares to Tumim as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Purchase

Agreement, rather than in exchange for cash), in which case, under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Exchange Cap limitation will not apply to issuances and sales of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. In any event, the Purchase Agreement specifically provides that we may not issue or sell any shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable Nasdaq rules.

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from directing Tumim to purchase any shares of our Common Stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then beneficially owned by Tumim (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would result in Tumim beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”).

The net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement to us will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of our stock to Tumim. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales to Tumim will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, other than a prohibition on entering into certain types of “dilutive” equity transactions during a pending purchase and prior to the full settlement thereof under the Purchase Agreement, as more specifically described in the section of this prospectus entitled “The Tumim Transaction.” Tumim has agreed not to cause, or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the Common Stock during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the 36-month period following the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) Tumim’s purchase of the Total Commitment worth of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, or (iii) the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the Purchase Agreement. We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon one trading day’s prior written notice to Tumim. Neither we nor Tumim may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by the parties.

As consideration for Tumim’s commitment to purchase shares of our Common Stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued 155,703 Commitment Shares to Tumim.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $300,000,000 Total Commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If all of the 18,012,845 shares offered by Tumim for resale under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof (without taking into account the 19.99% Exchange Cap limitation), such shares would represent approximately 4.36% of the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding and approximately 7.57% of the total number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, in each case as of the date hereof. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 18,012,845 shares offered under this prospectus to Tumim, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Tumim is dependent upon the number of shares we may elect to sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date.

There are substantial risks to our stockholders as a result of the sale and issuance of Common Stock to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. These risks include substantial dilution, significant declines in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed. See “Risk Factors.” Issuances of our Common Stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of Common Stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to Tumim.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data, or the summary pro forma data, gives effect to the Business Combination described in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Under this method of accounting, VectoIQ has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination has been treated as the equivalent of Legacy Nikola issuing stock for the net assets of VectoIQ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of VectoIQ are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2020 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The summary pro forma data have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the combined company appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements of VectoIQ and Legacy Nikola and related notes included in this prospectus. The summary pro forma data have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma data do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The following table presents summary pro forma data after giving effect to the Business Combination:

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you make a decision to buy our Common Stock, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under “Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the risks set forth herein. If any of these risks actually occur, it may materially harm our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As a result, the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may become material and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry We are an early stage company with a history of losses, and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of $370.9 million and $120.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and have incurred net losses of approximately $680.4 million from Legacy Nikola’s inception through March 31, 2021. We believe that we will continue to incur operating and net losses each quarter until at least the time we begin significant deliveries of our trucks, which is not expected to begin at least until 2022 for our battery electric vehicle, or BEV, truck and the second half of 2023 and 2024 for our Tre hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, or FCEV, truck and Two FCEV truck, respectively, and may occur later. Even if we are able to successfully develop and sell or lease our trucks, there can be no assurance that they will be commercially successful. Our potential profitability is dependent upon the successful development and successful commercial introduction and acceptance of our trucks and our hydrogen station platform, which may not occur.

We expect the rate at which we will incur losses to be significantly high in future periods as we: • design, develop and manufacture our trucks; • construct and equip our manufacturing plant to produce our trucks in Arizona; • modify and equip the Iveco manufacturing plant in Germany to produce our trucks in Europe; • build up inventories of parts and components for our trucks; • manufacture an available inventory of our trucks; • develop and deploy our hydrogen fueling stations; • expand our design, development, maintenance and repair capabilities; • increase our sales and marketing activities and develop our distribution infrastructure; and • increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations.

Because we will incur the costs and expenses from these efforts before we receive any incremental revenue with respect thereto, our losses in future periods will be significant. In addition, we may find that these efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate or that these efforts may not result in revenue, which would further increase our losses.

We may be unable to adequately control the costs associated with our operations. We will require significant capital to develop and grow our business, including developing and manufacturing our trucks, building our manufacturing plant and building our brand. We expect to incur significant expenses which will impact our profitability, including research and development expenses, raw

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents material procurement costs, leases, sales and distribution expenses as we build our brand and market our trucks and bundled leasing model, and general and administrative expenses as we scale our operations. In addition, we may incur significant costs in connection with our services, including building our hydrogen fueling stations and honoring our maintenance commitments under our bundled lease model. Our ability to become profitable in the future will not only depend on our ability to successfully market our vehicles and other products and services, but also to control our costs. If we are unable to cost efficiently design, manufacture, market, sell, distribute and service our trucks and services, our margins, profitability and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Our business model has yet to be tested and any failure to commercialize our strategic plans would have an adverse effect on our operating results and business, harm our reputation and could result in substantial liabilities that exceed our resources. Investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new enterprise, many of which are beyond our control, including substantial risks and expenses in the course of establishing or entering new markets, organizing operations and undertaking marketing activities. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of these risks, expenses, complications, delays and the competitive environment in which we operate. There is, therefore, nothing at this time upon which to base an assumption that our business plan will prove successful, and we may not be able to generate significant revenue, raise additional capital or operate profitably. We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early commercial stage companies, including scaling up our infrastructure and headcount, and may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties or delays in connection with our growth. In addition, as a result of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we can be expected to continue to sustain substantial operating expenses without generating sufficient revenue to cover expenditures. Any investment in our company is therefore highly speculative and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. You must consider the risks and difficulties we face as an early stage company with a limited operating history. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely harmed. We have a very limited operating history on which investors can base an evaluation of our business, operating results and prospects. We intend to derive substantially all of our revenue from the sale and lease of our vehicle platforms, which are still in the early stages of development. Our revenue will also depend on the sale of hydrogen fuel at our planned hydrogen fueling stations which we do not expect to be operational until 2023 or later. There are no assurances that we will be able to secure future business with the major trucking companies or with independent truck drivers.

It is difficult to predict our future revenue and appropriately budget for our expenses, and we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust our estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially affected.

We will need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available to us when we need them. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected. The design, manufacture, lease, sale and servicing of vehicles and related hydrogen fueling stations is capital-intensive. We expect that we will have sufficient capital to fund our planned operations for the next 12 months. We will need to raise additional capital to scale our manufacturing and roll out our hydrogen fueling stations. We may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity related or debt securities, or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. This capital will be necessary to fund our

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents ongoing operations, continue research, development and design efforts, improve infrastructure, introduce new vehicles and build hydrogen fueling stations. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

If we fail to manage our future growth effectively, we may not be able to market and sell our vehicles successfully. Any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We intend to expand our operations significantly. Our future expansion will include: • training new personnel; • forecasting production and revenue; • controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations; • establishing or expanding design, manufacturing, sales and service facilities; and • implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes.

We intend to continue to hire a significant number of additional personnel, including design and manufacturing personnel and service technicians for our trucks. Because our trucks are based on a different technology platform than traditional internal combustion engines, individuals with sufficient training in alternative fuel and electric vehicles may not be available to hire, and as a result, we will need to expend significant time and expense training the employees we do hire.

Our bundled lease model may present unique problems that may have an adverse effect on our operating results and business and harm our reputation. Our bundled lease model, which, as currently planned, will provide customers with the FCEV truck, hydrogen fuel, and regularly scheduled maintenance for a fixed price per mile, is reliant on our ability to achieve a minimum hydrogen fuel efficiency in our FCEV trucks. If we are unable to achieve or maintain this fuel efficiency, we may be forced to provide our bundled lease customers with fuel at prices below-cost or risk damaging our relationships with our customers. Any such scenario would put our bundled lease model in jeopardy and may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

We may face legal challenges in one or more states attempting to sell directly to customers, which could materially adversely affect our costs. Our business plan includes the direct sale of vehicles to business customers, and potentially, to individual customers. Most, if not all, states require a license to sell vehicles within the state. Many states prohibit manufacturers from directly selling vehicles to customers. In other states, manufacturers must operate a physical dealership within the state to deliver vehicles to customers. As a result, we may not be able to sell directly to customers in each state in the United States.

We are currently not registered as a dealer in any state. In many states, it is unclear if, as a manufacturer, we will be able to obtain permission to sell and deliver vehicles directly to customers. For customers residing in states in which we will not be allowed to sell or deliver vehicles, we may have to arrange alternate methods of delivery of vehicles. This could include delivering vehicles to adjacent or nearby states in which we are allowed to directly sell and ship vehicles, and arranging for the customer to transport the vehicles to their home states. These workarounds could add significant complexity and, as a result, costs, to our business.

We face risks and uncertainties related to litigation, regulatory actions and government investigations and inquiries. We are subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of litigation, other claims, suits, regulatory actions and government investigations and inquiries. For example, in September 2020, Nikola and our officers and employees received subpoenas from the SEC as part of a fact-finding inquiry related to aspects of our business as well as certain matters described in an article issued on September 10, 2020 by Hindenburg Research LLC, or the Hindenburg article. The SEC issued subpoenas to our directors on September 30, 2020. In addition, Nikola and Trevor R. Milton also received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the N.Y. County District Attorney’s Office in September 2020. We have cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, with these and any other regulatory or governmental requests. We have incurred significant expenses as a result of the regulatory and legal matters relating to the Hindenburg article. The total cost associated with these matters will depend on many factors, including the duration of these matters and any related finding.

Additionally, six putative class action lawsuits were filed against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors, asserting violations of federal securities laws under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and, in one case, violations of the Unfair Competition Law under California law, alleging that Nikola and certain of our officers and directors made false and/or misleading statements in press releases and public filings regarding our business plan and prospects. These lawsuits have been consolidated. Separately, three purported Nikola stockholder derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court, against certain of our current and former directors, alleging breaches of fiduciary duties, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and gross mismanagement, among other claims. We are unable to estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these lawsuits.

In addition, from time to time, we may also be involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with collaboration partners, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. Any such claims or investigations may be time-consuming, costly, divert management resources, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business or result of operations.

The results of litigation and other legal proceedings, including the other claims described under Legal Proceedings in Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and incorporated by reference herein, are inherently uncertain and adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in materially adverse monetary damages or injunctive relief against us. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the future. The litigation and other legal proceedings described under Note 14 and Note 12 are subject to future developments and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

Our success will depend on our ability to economically manufacture our trucks at scale and build our hydrogen fueling stations to meet our customers’ business needs, and our ability to develop and manufacture trucks of sufficient quality and appeal to customers on schedule and at scale is unproven. Our future business depends in large part on our ability to execute our plans to develop, manufacture, market and sell our BEV and FCEV trucks and to deploy the associated hydrogen fueling stations for our FCEV trucks at sufficient capacity to meet the transportation demands of our business customers. We plan to initially commence manufacturing our trucks in Europe through our joint venture with CNH Industrial N.V., or CNHI, and Iveco S.p.A., or Iveco, which commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2020, and in the future at our manufacturing plant in Arizona.

Our continued development of our truck platforms is and will be subject to risks, including with respect to: • our ability to secure necessary funding; • the equipment we plan to use being able to accurately manufacture the vehicles within specified design tolerances; • long-and short-term durability of our hydrogen fuel cell and electric drivetrain technology related components in the day-to-day wear and tear of the commercial trucking environment; • compliance with environmental, workplace safety and similar regulations; • securing necessary components on acceptable terms and in a timely manner; • delays in delivery of final component designs to our suppliers; • our ability to attract, recruit, hire and train skilled employees; • quality controls, particularly as we plan to commence manufacturing in-house; • delays or disruptions in our supply chain; and • other delays and cost overruns.

We have no experience to date in high volume manufacturing of our trucks. We do not know whether we will be able to develop efficient, automated, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes, and reliable sources of component supply, that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, as well as the production volumes, required to successfully mass market our trucks. Even if we are successful in developing our high volume manufacturing capability and processes and reliably source our component supply, we do not know whether we will be able to do so in a manner that avoids significant delays and cost overruns, including as a result of factors beyond our control such as problems with suppliers and vendors, or in time to meet our vehicle commercialization schedules or to satisfy the requirements of customers. Any failure to develop such manufacturing processes and capabilities within our projected costs and timelines could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

We may experience significant delays in the design, manufacture, launch and financing of our trucks, including in the build out of our manufacturing plant, which could harm our business and prospects. Any delay in the financing, design, manufacture and launch of our trucks, including in the build out of our manufacturing plant in Arizona, could materially damage our brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Vehicle manufacturers often experience delays in the design, manufacture and commercial release of new products. To the extent we delay the launch of our trucks, our growth prospects could be adversely affected as we may fail to grow our market share. Furthermore, we rely on third party suppliers for the provision and development of many of the key components and materials used in our vehicles. To the extent our suppliers experience any delays in providing us with or developing necessary components, we could experience delays in delivering on our timelines.

We will rely on complex machinery for our operations and production involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs. We will rely heavily on complex machinery for our operations and our production will involve a significant degree of uncertainty and risk in terms of operational performance and costs. Our truck manufacturing plant will consist of large-scale machinery combining many components. The manufacturing plant components are likely to suffer unexpected malfunctions from time to time and will depend on repairs and spare parts to resume operations, which may not be available when needed. Unexpected malfunctions of the manufacturing plant components may significantly affect the intended operational efficiency. Operational performance and costs can be difficult to predict and are often influenced by factors outside of our control, such as, but not limited to,

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents scarcity of natural resources, environmental hazards and remediation, costs associated with decommissioning of machines, labor disputes and strikes, difficulty or delays in obtaining governmental permits, damages or defects in electronic systems, industrial accidents, fire, seismic activity and natural disasters. Should operational risks materialize, it may result in the personal injury to or death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to manufacturing facilities, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production, environmental damage, administrative fines, increased insurance costs and potential legal liabilities, all which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition or prospects.

Once completed, if our manufacturing plant in Arizona becomes inoperable, we will be unable to produce our trucks and our business will be harmed. We expect to begin assembly of our trucks at our manufacturing plant in Arizona after completion of the initial phase of the plant in 2021, at the earliest. We expect to produce all of our trucks at our manufacturing plant in Arizona after completion of the second phase of the plant in 2022, at the earliest. Our plant and the equipment we use to manufacture our trucks would be costly to replace and could require substantial lead time to replace and qualify for use. Our plant may be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters, including earthquakes, flooding, fire and power outages, or by health epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which may render it difficult or impossible for us to manufacture our trucks for some period of time. The inability to produce our trucks or the backlog that could develop if our manufacturing plant is inoperable for even a short period of time may result in the loss of customers or harm our reputation. Although we maintain insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of our business, this insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Our plan to build a network of hydrogen fueling stations will require significant cash investments and management resources and may not meet our expectations with respect to additional sales of our electric vehicles. In addition, we may not be able to open stations in certain states. Our plan to build a network of hydrogen fueling stations in the United States will require significant cash investments and management resources and may not meet our expectations with respect to additional sales of our FCEV trucks. This planned construction of hydrogen stations is essential to persuading customers to pay a higher premium for our trucks.

While we have constructed a demo station, we have very limited experience in the actual provision of our refueling solutions to users, and providing these services is subject to challenges, which include the logistics of rolling out our network of refueling stations and teams in appropriate areas, inadequate capacity or over capacity in certain areas, security risks, risk of damage to vehicles during charging or refueling, and the potential for lack of customer acceptance of our services. We will need to ensure compliance with any regulatory requirements applicable in jurisdictions where our fueling stations will be located, including obtaining any required permits and land use rights, which could take considerable time and expense and is subject to the risk that government support in certain areas may be discontinued or subject to conditions that we may be unable to meet in a cost- efficient manner or at all. In addition, given our lack of experience building and operating fueling stations, there could be unanticipated challenges, which may hinder our ability to provide our bundled lease model to customers or make the provision of our bundled leases costlier than anticipated. If we are unable to build, or experience delays in building, our network of hydrogen fueling stations, we may be unable to meet our fueling commitments under our bundled lease arrangements with customers and experience decreased sales or leases of our vehicles, which may negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We may not be able to produce or source the hydrogen needed to establish our planned hydrogen fueling stations. As a key component of our business model, we intend to establish a series of hydrogen fueling stations, and we intend to include the cost of hydrogen in the purchase price of our trucks. Where electricity can be procured

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents in a cost-effective manner, we expect that hydrogen fuel will be produced on-site, via electrolysis. In other cases, we expect that hydrogen fuel will be produced off-site and delivered to fueling stations under a supply “hub and spoke” structure. To the extent we are unable to produce or obtain the hydrogen, we may be unable to establish these fueling stations and severely limit the usefulness of our trucks, or, if we are still able to establish these stations, we may be forced to sell hydrogen at a loss in order to maintain our commitments. We believe that this hydrogen incentive will be a significant driver for purchases of our trucks, and therefore, the failure to establish and roll out these hydrogen fueling stations in accordance with our expectations would materially adversely affect our business.

Our inability to cost-effectively source the energy requirements to conduct electrolysis at our fueling stations may impact the profitability of our bundled lease model by making our hydrogen uneconomical compared to other vehicle fuel sources. Our ability to economically produce hydrogen for our FCEV trucks requires us to secure a reliable source of electricity for each of our on-site gaseous stations and large scale production hubs at a price per kilowatt hour that is similar to wholesale rates in the geographic areas we target. During our initial hydrogen station roll-out, we intend to source power based on the most economical power mix available at each hydrogen production site, including power from the grid that is sourced from non-renewable sources. An increase in the price of energy used to generate hydrogen through electrolysis would likely result in a higher cost of fuel for our FCEV trucks as well as increase the cost of distribution, freight and delivery. We may not be able to offset these cost increases or pass such cost increases onto customers in the form of price increases, because of our bundled lease model for FCEV trucks, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Reservations for our trucks are cancellable. Reservations for our Nikola FCEV trucks are subject to cancellation by the customer until the customer enters into a lease agreement or, in the case of Anheuser-Busch LLC, or AB, to the extent our trucks do not meet the vehicle specifications and delivery timelines specified in the contract with AB, as discussed further below. Because all of our reservations are cancellable, it is possible that a significant number of customers who submitted reservations for our trucks may cancel those reservations. In addition, our non-binding FCEV reservations include reservations from individuals or small fleets with orders of 100 trucks or less, which collectively represent approximately 47% of our total FCEV reservations as of December 31, 2020. These individuals or small fleets may not receive FCEV trucks until the density of the hydrogen station network is sufficient for their refueling needs, which may not occur until approximately 2030 or later.

Given the anticipated lead times between customer reservation and delivery of our trucks, there is a heightened risk that customers that have made reservations may not ultimately take delivery of vehicles due to potential changes in customer preferences, competitive developments and other factors. As a result, no assurance can be made that reservations will not be cancelled, or that reservations will ultimately result in the purchase or lease of a vehicle. Any cancellations could harm our financial condition, business, prospects and operating results.

In addition, any projected revenue is based on a number of assumptions, including a projected purchase price for our trucks. If the purchase price of the trucks ends up being different than anticipated, we may not achieve the anticipated level of projected revenue, even if all of the trucks subject to reservations are sold or leased.

While we currently have a contract with AB to lease up to 800 Nikola Two FCEV trucks, if we are unable to deliver our trucks according to the vehicle specifications and delivery timelines set forth in the contract, AB has the right to cancel its order for trucks. Moreover, the AB contract specifies lease terms and rental rates that may be hard for us to meet depending on our ability to develop our trucks and hydrogen network according to current design parameters and cost estimates. Any of these adverse actions related to the AB order could harm our financial condition, business, prospects and operating results.

While we do not currently have any leasing arrangements finalized, in the future we intend to offer a bundled lease or other alternative structures to customers, which would expose us to credit risk. While we currently intend to offer bundled leasing of our trucks or other alternative structures to potential customers through a third-party financing partner, we currently have no agreement in place with any potential financing partner. We can provide no assurance that a third-party financing partner would be able or willing to provide the leasing services on terms that we have stated in our published materials, or to provide financing at all. Furthermore, offering a leasing alternative to customers will expose us to risks commonly associated with the extension of credit. Credit risk is the potential loss that may arise from any failure in the ability or willingness of the customer to fulfill its contractual obligations when they fall due. Competitive pressure and challenging markets may increase credit risk through leases to financially weak customers, extended payment terms and leases into new and immature markets. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial results and results of operations.

We face significant barriers to produce our trucks, and if we cannot successfully overcome those barriers our business will be negatively impacted. The trucking industry has traditionally been characterized by significant barriers to entry, including large capital requirements, investment costs of designing and manufacturing vehicles, long lead times to bring vehicles to market from the concept and design stage, the need for specialized design and development expertise, regulatory requirements, establishing a brand name and image and the need to establish sales, leasing, fueling and service locations. If we are not able to overcome these barriers, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be negatively impacted and our ability to grow our business will be harmed.

Our future growth is dependent upon the trucking industry’s willingness to adopt BEV and FCEV trucks. Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by the trucking industry of alternative fuel and electric trucks. If the market for our BEV and FCEV trucks does not develop at the rate or to the extent that we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for alternative fuel and electric trucks is new and untested and is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, numerous competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards and uncertain customer demands and behaviors.

Factors that may influence the adoption of alternative fuel and electric vehicles include: • perceptions about BEV or FCEV truck quality, safety, design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality or safety of alternative fuel or electric vehicles; • perceptions about vehicle safety in general, including the use of advanced technology, such as vehicle electronics, hydrogen fueling and storage and regenerative braking systems; • the decline of vehicle efficiency resulting from deterioration over time in the ability of the battery to hold a charge; • concerns about the availability of hydrogen stations, including those we plan to develop and deploy, which could impede our present efforts to promote FCEV trucks as a desirable alternative to diesel trucks; • improvements in the fuel economy of internal combustion engines; • the availability of service for alternative fuel or electric trucks; • volatility in the cost of energy, oil, gasoline and hydrogen; • government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy;

• the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate alternative fuel and electric trucks or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting trucks; • our ability to sell or lease trucks directly to business or customers dependent on state by state unique regulations and dealership laws; • the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to sell hydrogen; • perceptions about and the actual cost of alternative fuel; and • macroeconomic factors.

Additionally, we may become subject to regulations that may require us to alter the design of our trucks, which could negatively impact customer interest in our products.

If our trucks fail to perform as expected, our ability to develop, market and sell or lease our alternative fuel and electric trucks could be harmed. Once production commences, our trucks may contain defects in design and manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or may require repair. We currently have no frame of reference by which to evaluate the performance of our trucks upon which our business prospects depend. For example, our trucks will use a substantial amount of software to operate which will require modification and updates over the life of the vehicle. Software products are inherently complex and often contain defects and errors when first introduced.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix any defects in the trucks’ hardware or software prior to commencing customer sales. We may experience recalls in the future, which could adversely affect our brand in our target markets and could adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations. Our trucks may not perform consistent with customers’ expectations or consistent with other vehicles which may become available. Any product defects or any other failure of our trucks to perform as expected could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenue, delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims and significant warranty and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Although we hope to be among the first to bring BEV and FCEV Class 8 trucks to market, competitors have and may continue to enter the market before our trucks, which could have an adverse effect on our business. We face intense competition in trying to be among the first to bring our BEV and FCEV truck platforms to market, including from companies in our target markets with greater financial resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing and service capabilities, greater brand recognition and a larger number of managerial and technical personnel. If competitor’s trucks are brought to market before our trucks, we may experience a reduction in potential market share.

Many of our current and potential competitors, particularly international competitors, have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products.

We compete in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive industry, and a number of private and public companies have announced plans to offer BEV and/or FCEV trucks, including companies such as Daimler, Hyliion, Hyundai, Lion, Tesla, Hyzon, Toyota and Volvo. Based on publicly available information, a number of these competitors have displayed prototype trucks and have announced target availability and production timelines, while others have launched pilot programs in some markets. In addition, we are aware that one potential competitor, BYD, is currently manufacturing and selling a Class 8 BEV truck. While some competitors

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents may choose to offer BEV trucks, others such as Hyundai have announced they plan to offer FCEV trucks and invest in hydrogen stations for refueling. In addition, our principal competition for our trucks will also come from manufacturers of trucks with internal combustion engines powered by diesel fuel.

We expect competition in our industry to intensify in the future in light of increased demand and regulatory push for alternative fuel and electric vehicles. We cannot provide assurances that our trucks will be among the first to market, or that competitors will not build hydrogen fueling stations. Even if our trucks are among the first to market, we cannot assure you that customers will choose our vehicles over those of our competitors, or over diesel powered trucks.

Developments in alternative technology improvements in the internal combustion engine may adversely affect the demand for our trucks. Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, ethanol, or compressed natural gas or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we do not currently anticipate. Other fuels or sources of energy may emerge as customers’ preferred alternative to our truck platform. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced alternative fuel and electric trucks, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our trucks, decreased revenue and a loss of market share to competitors. Our research and development efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in alternative fuel and electric vehicle technology. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our trucks and introduce new models in order to continue to provide trucks with the latest technology, in particular battery cell technology.

We have no experience servicing our vehicles. If we are unable to address the service requirements of our customers, our business will be materially and adversely affected. Because we do not plan to begin production of our trucks until mid-2021 at the earliest, we have no experience servicing or repairing our vehicles. Servicing alternative fuel and electric vehicles is different than servicing vehicles with internal combustion engines and requires specialized skills, including high voltage training and servicing techniques. We may decide to partner with a third party to perform some or all of the maintenance on our trucks, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into an acceptable arrangement with any such third-party provider. If we are unable to successfully address the service requirements of our customers, our business and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, the motor vehicle industry laws in many states require that service facilities be available to service vehicles physically sold from locations in the state. While we anticipate developing a service program that would satisfy regulators in these circumstances, the specifics of our service program are still in development, and at some point may need to be restructured to comply with state law, which may impact our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Future product recalls could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. Any product recall in the future may result in adverse publicity, damage our brand and materially adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. In the future, we may voluntarily or involuntarily, initiate a recall if any of our vehicles or electric powertrain components (including the fuel cell or batteries) prove to be defective or noncompliant with applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards. Such recalls involve significant expense and diversion of management attention and other resources, which could adversely affect our brand image in our target markets, as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Insufficient warranty reserves to cover future warranty claims could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Once our trucks are in production, we will need to maintain warranty reserves to cover warranty-related claims. If our warranty reserves are inadequate to cover future warranty claims on our vehicles, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. We may become subject to significant and unexpected warranty expenses. There can be no assurances that then-existing warranty reserves will be sufficient to cover all claims.

If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management, technical and engineering personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to retain our key personnel. The unexpected loss of or failure to retain one or more of our key employees could adversely affect our business.

Our success also depends, in part, on our continuing ability to identify, hire, attract, train and develop other highly qualified personnel, including management, technical and engineering personnel. Qualified individuals are in high demand, particularly in the vehicle technology industry. Competition for individuals with experience designing, manufacturing and servicing electric vehicles is intense, and we may not be able to attract, integrate, train, motivate or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. Competition for these employees can be intense, and our ability to hire, attract and retain them may depend on our ability to provide competitive compensation. We use equity awards to attract talented employees, but if the value of our Common Stock declines significantly, as it has in the recent past, and remains depressed, it may prevent us from recruiting and retaining qualified employees. We may not be able to attract, integrate, train or retain qualified personnel in the future. Additionally, we may not be able to hire new employees quickly enough to meet our needs. Our failure to do so could adversely affect our business and prospects, including the execution of our global business strategy.

Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials, particularly lithium-ion battery cells, could harm our business. Once we begin commercial production of vehicles, we may experience increases in the cost or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of raw materials, including battery cells and semiconductors. Any such increase or supply interruption could materially negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. We use various raw materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, non-ferrous metals (such as copper), and cobalt. The prices for these raw materials fluctuate depending on market conditions and global demand and could adversely affect our business and operating results. For instance, we are exposed to multiple risks relating to price fluctuations for lithium-ion cells. These risks include: • the inability or unwillingness of current battery manufacturers to build or operate battery cell manufacturing plants to supply the numbers of lithium-ion cells required to support the growth of the electric vehicle industry as demand for such cells increases; • disruption in the supply of cells due to quality issues or recalls by the battery cell manufacturers; and • an increase in the cost of raw materials, such as cobalt, used in lithium-ion cells.

Any disruption in the supply of battery cells or semiconductors could temporarily disrupt production of the BEV truck until a different supplier is fully qualified. Moreover, battery cell manufacturers may refuse to supply electric vehicle manufacturers if they determine that the vehicles are not sufficiently safe. Furthermore, fluctuations or shortages in petroleum and other economic conditions may cause us to experience significant increases in freight charges and raw material costs. Substantial increases in the prices for our raw materials would increase our operating costs and could reduce our margins if the increased costs cannot be recouped through increased electric vehicle prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recoup increasing costs of raw materials by increasing vehicle prices.

Collaboration with strategic partners is subject to risks. In 2019, we partnered with Iveco, a subsidiary of CNHI, to manufacture the BEV truck at the Iveco manufacturing plant in Ulm, Germany through a joint venture with CNHI, which commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2020. We currently intend to begin production of the BEV truck at the Iveco plant in 2021, with deliveries beginning late in the same year. We currently expect that approximately 40 million Euros will be invested in total by Iveco and Nikola into the manufacturing plant to prepare it for assembly, of which 14.8 million Euros was funded through March 31, 2021. Future funding may be partially financed through debt obtained by the joint venture.

We have announced planned collaborations with various parties, including with respect to providing service and maintenance and deployment of hydrogen fueling stations. Discussions with our strategic partners are ongoing, are subject to the parties’ entry into definitive documentation, and terms of the agreements are subject to change. Consequently, there can be no assurance that we will enter into agreements on the terms initially contemplated, if at all.

Collaboration with third parties is subject to risks with respect to operations that are outside our control. We could experience delays if our partners do not meet agreed upon timelines or experience capacity constraints. There are risks of potential disputes, disagreements or fallouts with partners and failure to perform under contracts or enforce contracts against the other party, and/or the potential terminations of such contracts, and the production of our trucks could be disrupted as a result. We could be affected by adverse publicity related to our partners, whether or not such publicity is related to their collaboration with us, or adverse publicity related to our relationships with our partners. Our ability to successfully build a premium brand could also be adversely affected by perceptions about the quality of our partners’ products. In addition, although we are involved in each step of the supply chain and manufacturing process, because we also rely on our partners and third parties to meet our quality standards, there can be no assurance that we will successfully maintain quality standards.

We may be unable to enter into new agreements or extend existing agreements with manufacturers on terms and conditions acceptable to us and therefore may need to contract with other third parties or significantly add to our own production capacity. There can be no assurance that in such event we would be able to engage other third parties or establish or expand our own production capacity to meet our needs on acceptable terms or at all. The expense and time required to complete any transition, and to assure that vehicles manufactured at facilities of new manufacturers comply with our quality standards and regulatory requirements, may be greater than anticipated. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We are or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances or acquisitions. We have entered into, and may in the future enter into additional, strategic alliances, including joint ventures or minority equity investments with various third parties to further our business purpose. These alliances could subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information, non-performance by the third party and increased expenses in establishing new strategic alliances, any of which may materially and adversely affect our business. We may have limited ability to monitor or control the actions of these third parties and, to the extent any of these strategic third parties suffers negative publicity or harm to their reputation from events relating to their business, we may also suffer negative publicity or harm to our reputation by virtue of our association with any such third party.

When appropriate opportunities arise, we may acquire additional assets, products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to our existing business. In addition to possible stockholder approval, we may need approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the acquisitions and to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, which could result in increased delay and costs, and may disrupt our business strategy if we fail to do so. Furthermore, acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new assets and businesses

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents into our own require significant attention from our management and could result in a diversion of resources from our existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our operations. Acquired assets or businesses may not generate the financial results we expect. Acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the occurrence of significant goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business. Moreover, the costs of identifying and consummating acquisitions may be significant.

We are dependent on our suppliers, a significant number of which are single or limited source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of our vehicles at prices and volumes acceptable to us would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operating results. While we plan to obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, many of the components used in our vehicles will be purchased by us from a single source, especially with respect to hydrogen fuel cells and batteries. We refer to these component suppliers as our single source suppliers. While we believe that we may be able to establish alternate supply relationships and can obtain or engineer replacement components for our single source components, we may be unable to do so in the short term (or at all) at prices or quality levels that are favorable to us.

A significant benefit of our collaborations with external manufacturing partners is the ability to leverage their respective existing assortment of parts, thereby decreasing our purchasing expenses. While these relationships give us access to use an existing supplier base with the hopes of accelerating procurement of components at favorable prices, there is no guarantee that this will be the case. In addition, we could experience delays if our suppliers do not meet agreed upon timelines or experience capacity constraints.

The battery efficiency of electric trucks will decline over time, which may negatively influence potential customers’ decisions whether to purchase our trucks. We anticipate the ranges of our Nikola Tre BEV, Nikola Tre FCEV and Nikola Two FCEV vehicles to be up to 350, 500 and 900 miles per day, respectively, before needing to recharge or refuel depending on the type of vehicle, but that range will decline over time as the battery deteriorates. Other factors such as usage, time and stress patterns may also impact the battery’s ability to hold a charge, which would decrease our trucks’ range before needing to recharge or refuel. Such battery deterioration and the related decrease in range may negatively influence potential customer decisions.

Our trucks will make use of lithium-ion battery cells, which have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flame. The battery packs within our trucks will make use of lithium-ion cells. On rare occasions, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials as well as other lithium-ion cells. While the battery pack is designed to contain any single cell’s release of energy without spreading to neighboring cells, once our trucks are commercially available, a field or testing failure of our vehicles or other battery packs that we produce could occur, which could subject us to lawsuits, product recalls, or redesign efforts, all of which would be time consuming and expensive. Also, negative public perceptions regarding the suitability of lithium-ion cells for automotive applications or any future incident involving lithium-ion cells, such as a vehicle or other fire, even if such incident does not involve our trucks, could seriously harm our business and reputation.

In addition, once we begin manufacturing our trucks, we will need to store a significant number of lithium-ion cells at our facility. Any mishandling of battery cells may cause disruption to the operation of our facility. While we have implemented safety procedures related to the handling of the cells, a safety issue or fire related to the cells could disrupt our operations. Such damage or injury could lead to adverse publicity and potentially a safety recall. Moreover, any failure of a competitor’s electric vehicle or energy storage product may

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents cause indirect adverse publicity for us and our products. Such adverse publicity could negatively affect our brand and harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Any unauthorized control or manipulation of our vehicles’ systems could result in loss of confidence in us and our vehicles and harm our business. Our trucks contain complex information technology systems and built-in data connectivity to accept and install periodic remote updates to improve or update functionality. We have designed, implemented and tested security measures intended to prevent unauthorized access to our information technology networks, our trucks and related systems. However, hackers may attempt to gain unauthorized access to modify, alter and use such networks, trucks and systems to gain control of or to change our trucks’ functionality, user interface and performance characteristics, or to gain access to data stored in or generated by the truck. Future vulnerabilities could be identified and our efforts to remediate such vulnerabilities may not be successful. Any unauthorized access to or control of our trucks or their systems, or any loss of customer data, could result in legal claims or proceedings. In addition, regardless of their veracity, reports of unauthorized access to our trucks, systems or data, as well as other factors that may result in the perception that our trucks, systems or data are capable of being “hacked,” could negatively affect our brand and harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems could impact our ability to effectively provide our services. We plan to outfit our trucks with in-vehicle services and functionality that utilize data connectivity to monitor performance and timely capture opportunities for cost-saving preventative maintenance. The availability and effectiveness of our services depend on the continued operation of information technology and communications systems, which we have yet to develop. Our systems will be vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among others, fire, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm our systems. Our data centers could also be subject to break-ins, sabotage and intentional acts of vandalism causing potential disruptions. Some of our systems will not be fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. Any problems at our data centers could result in lengthy interruptions in our service. In addition, our trucks are highly technical and complex and may contain errors or vulnerabilities, which could result in interruptions in our business or the failure of our systems.

We are subject to substantial regulation and unfavorable changes to, or failure by us to comply with, these regulations could substantially harm our business and operating results. Our alternative fuel and electric trucks, and the sale of motor vehicles in general, are subject to substantial regulation under international, federal, state, and local laws. We expect to incur significant costs in complying with these regulations. Regulations related to the electric vehicle industry and alternative energy are currently evolving and we face risks associated with changes to these regulations, including but not limited to: • increased subsidies for corn and ethanol production, which could reduce the operating cost of vehicles that use ethanol or a combination of ethanol and gasoline; and • increased sensitivity by regulators to the needs of established automobile manufacturers with large employment bases, high fixed costs and business models based on the internal combustion engine, which could lead them to pass regulations that could reduce the compliance costs of such established manufacturers or mitigate the effects of government efforts to promote alternative fuel vehicles.

To the extent the laws change, our trucks may not comply with applicable international, federal, state or local laws, which would have an adverse effect on our business. Compliance with changing regulations could be burdensome, time consuming, and expensive. To the extent compliance with new regulations is cost prohibitive, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected.

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs upon us and cause delays in building our manufacturing facilities. Our operations will be subject to international, federal, state, and/or local environmental laws and regulations, including laws relating to the use, handling, storage, disposal and human exposure to hazardous materials. Environmental and health and safety laws and regulations can be complex, and we expect that we will be affected by future amendments to such laws or other new environmental and health and safety laws and regulations which may require us to change our operations, potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. These laws can give rise to liability for administrative oversight costs, cleanup costs, property damage, bodily injury and fines and penalties. Capital and operating expenses needed to comply with environmental laws and regulations can be significant, and violations may result in substantial fines and penalties, third party damages, suspension of production or a cessation of our operations.

Contamination at properties we will own and operate, we formerly owned or operated or to which hazardous substances were sent by us, may result in liability for us under environmental laws and regulations, including, but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, which can impose liability for the full amount of remediation-related costs without regard to fault, for the investigation and cleanup of contaminated soil and ground water, for building contamination and impacts to human health and for damages to natural resources. The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations and any claims concerning noncompliance, or liability with respect to contamination in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results. We may face unexpected delays in obtaining the required permits and approvals in connection with our manufacturing facilities that could require significant time and financial resources and delay our ability to operate these facilities, which would adversely impact our business prospects and operating results.

We are subject to evolving laws, regulations, standards, policies, and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and any actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our reputation and brand, subject us to significant fines and liabilities, or otherwise adversely affect our business. In the course of our operations, we collect, use, store, disclose, transfer and otherwise process personal information from our consumers, employees and third parties with whom we conduct business, including names, accounts, user IDs and passwords, and payment or transaction related information. Additionally, we intend to use our trucks’ electronic systems to log information about each vehicle’s use in order to aid us in vehicle diagnostics, repair and maintenance. Our customers may object to the use of this data, which may increase our vehicle maintenance costs and harm our business prospects. Accordingly, we are subject to or affected by a number of federal, state, local and international laws and regulations, as well as contractual obligations and industry standards, that impose certain obligations and restrictions with respect to data privacy and security and govern our collection, storage, retention, protection, use, processing, transmission, sharing and disclosure of personal information including that of our employees, customers and other third parties with whom we conduct business. These laws, regulations and standards may be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible that they will be interpreted and applied in ways that may have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The global data protection landscape is rapidly evolving, and implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. We may not be able to monitor and react to all developments in a timely manner. The European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, which became effective in May 2018, and California adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or CCPA, which became effective in January 2020. Both the GDPR and the CCPA impose additional obligations on companies regarding the handling of personal data and provides certain individual privacy rights to persons whose data is collected. Compliance with existing, proposed and recently enacted laws and regulations

(including implementation of the privacy and process enhancements called for under the GDPR and CCPA) can be costly, and any failure to comply with these regulatory standards could subject us to legal and reputational risks.

Specifically, the CCPA establishes a privacy framework for covered businesses, including an expansive definition of personal information and data privacy rights for California consumers. The CCPA includes a framework with potentially severe statutory damages for violations and a private right of action for certain data breaches. The CCPA requires covered businesses to provide California consumers with new privacy-related disclosures and new ways to opt-out of certain uses and disclosures of personal information. As we expand our operations, the CCPA may increase our compliance costs and potential liability. Some observers have noted that the CCPA could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. Additionally, effective starting on January 1, 2023, the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, will significantly modify the CCPA, including by expanding California consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The CPRA also creates a new state agency that will be vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA.

Other states have begun to propose similar laws. Compliance with applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations is a rigorous and time-intensive process, and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms to comply with such laws and regulations, which could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices, including our data practices, in a manner adverse to our business. In particular, certain emerging privacy laws are still subject to a high degree of uncertainty as to their interpretation and application. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or to secure personal information could result in investigations, enforcement actions and other proceedings against us, which could result in substantial fines, damages and other liability as well as damage to our reputation and credibility, which could have a negative impact on revenues and profits.

We post public privacy policies and other documentation regarding our collection, processing, use and disclosure of personal information. Although we endeavor to comply with our published policies and other documentation, we may at times fail to do so or may be perceived to have failed to do so. Moreover, despite our efforts, we may not be successful in achieving compliance if our employees, contractors, service providers, vendors or other third parties fail to comply with our published policies and documentation. Such failures could carry similar consequences or subject us to potential local, state and federal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual practices. Claims that we have violated individuals’ privacy rights or failed to comply with data protection laws or applicable privacy notices could, even if we are not found liable, be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.

Most jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals, regulatory authorities and other third parties of security breaches involving certain types of data. Such laws may be inconsistent or may change or additional laws may be adopted. In addition, our agreements with certain customers may require us to notify them in the event of a security breach. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, penalties or fines, litigation and our customers losing confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. Any of the foregoing could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

We face risks associated with our international operations, including unfavorable regulatory, political, tax and labor conditions, which could harm our business. We face risks associated with our international operations, including possible unfavorable regulatory, political, tax and labor conditions, which could harm our business. We anticipate having international operations and subsidiaries in Germany and Italy that are subject to the legal, political, regulatory and social requirements

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents and economic conditions in these jurisdictions. Additionally, as part of our growth strategy, we intend to expand our sales, maintenance and repair services internationally. However, we have no experience to date selling and servicing our vehicles internationally and such expansion would require us to make significant expenditures, including the hiring of local employees and establishing facilities, in advance of generating any revenue. We are subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, impact our ability to sell our alternative fuel and electric trucks and require significant management attention. These risks include: • conforming our trucks to various international regulatory requirements where our trucks are sold, or homologation; • development and construction of our hydrogen refueling network; • difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations; • difficulties attracting customers in new jurisdictions; • foreign government taxes, regulations and permit requirements, including foreign taxes that we may not be able to offset against taxes imposed upon us in the United States, and foreign tax and other laws limiting our ability to repatriate funds to the United States; • fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, including risks related to any interest rate swap or other hedging activities we undertake; • United States and foreign government trade restrictions, tariffs and price or exchange controls; • foreign labor laws, regulations and restrictions; • changes in diplomatic and trade relationships; • political instability, natural disasters, war or events of terrorism; and • the strength of international economies.

If we fail to successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed.

Our ability to use net operating losses to reduce future tax payments may be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and may be subject to further limitation as a result of future transactions. Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, contain rules that limit the ability of a company that undergoes an ownership change, which is generally any cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% of its stock over a three-year period, to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and certain built-in losses recognized in the years after the ownership change. These rules generally operate by focusing on ownership changes involving stockholders who directly or indirectly own 5% or more of the stock of a company and any change in ownership arising from a new issuance of stock by the company. Generally, if an ownership change occurs, the yearly taxable income limitation on the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is equal to the product of the applicable long-term tax exempt rate and the value of our stock immediately before the ownership change. As a result, we may be unable to offset our taxable income with net operating losses, or our tax liability with credits, before these losses and credits expire.

In addition, it is possible that future transactions (including issuances of new shares of our Common Stock and sales of shares of our Common Stock) will cause us to undergo one or more additional ownership changes. In that event, we may not be able to use our net operating losses from periods prior to this ownership change to offset future taxable income in excess of the annual limitations imposed by Sections 382 and 383.

We face risks related to health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We face various risks related to public health issues, including epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks, including the pandemic of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. The spread of COVID-19 has also created a disruption in the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, and has led to a global decrease in vehicle sales in markets around the world.

The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures may adversely impact our employees and operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners, and may negatively impact our sales and marketing activities, the construction schedule of our hydrogen fueling stations and our manufacturing plant in Arizona, and the production schedule of our trucks. For example, the headquarters of our partner, Iveco, located in Italy, was shut down for two months due to COVID-19, and as a result, pilot builds for the BEV truck were delayed. In addition, various aspects of our business, manufacturing plant and hydrogen fueling station building process, cannot be conducted remotely. These measures by government authorities may remain in place for a significant period of time and they are likely to continue to adversely affect our manufacturing and building plans, sales and marketing activities, business and results of operations.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, recommending that all non-essential personnel work from home and cancellation or reduction of physical participation in sales activities, meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners. There is no certainty that such actions will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including due to illness, quarantines, social distancing, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will be impacted.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, including vaccination efforts, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. The COVID-19 pandemic could limit the ability of our customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners to perform, including third party suppliers’ ability to provide components and materials used in our trucks. We may also experience an increase in the cost of raw materials used in our commercial production of trucks. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

Specifically, difficult macroeconomic conditions, such as decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment or a decline in consumer confidence as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reduced spending by businesses, could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our trucks. Under difficult economic conditions, potential customers may seek to reduce spending by forgoing our trucks for other traditional options, and cancel reservations for our trucks. Decreased demand for our trucks, particularly in the United States and Europe, could negatively affect our business.

There are no comparable recent events which may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19 and a pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s impact on

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents our business, our operations, or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely.

The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. We currently, and expect to continue to, benefit from certain government subsidies and economic incentives that support the development and adoption of our vehicles, particularly our BEV and FCEV trucks. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, the reduced need for such subsidies and incentives due to the perceived success of the electric vehicle or other reasons may result in the diminished competitiveness of the alternative fuel and electric vehicle industry generally or our BEV and FCEV trucks in particular. This could materially and adversely affect the growth of the alternative fuel automobile markets and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

These incentives include tax credits, rebates and other incentives for alternative energy production, alternative fuel and electric vehicles, including greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions credits under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s GHG Rule and the California Air Resources Board. While these benefits have been available in the past, there is no guarantee these programs will be available in the future. If these tax incentives and other benefits are not available or are reduced or otherwise limited in the future, our financial position could be harmed.

We may not be able to obtain or agree on acceptable terms and conditions for all or a significant portion of the government grants, loans and other incentives for which we may apply. As a result, our business and prospects may be adversely affected. We anticipate applying for federal and state grants, loans and tax incentives under government programs designed to stimulate the economy and support the production of alternative fuel and electric vehicles and related technologies, as well as the sale of hydrogen. For example, we intend to initially build our hydrogen fueling stations in California, in part because of the incentives that are available. We anticipate that in the future there will be new opportunities for us to apply for grants, loans and other incentives from the United States, state and foreign governments. Our ability to obtain funds or incentives from government sources is subject to the availability of funds under applicable government programs and approval of our applications to participate in such programs. The application process for these funds and other incentives will likely be highly competitive. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining any of these additional grants, loans and other incentives. If we are not successful in obtaining any of these additional incentives and we are unable to find alternative sources of funding to meet our planned capital needs, our business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Further, accepting funding from governmental entities or in-licensing patent rights from third parties that are co-owned with governmental entities may result in the U.S. government having certain rights, including so-called march-in rights, to such patent rights and any products or technology developed from such patent rights. When new technologies are developed with U.S. government funding, the U.S. government generally obtains certain rights in any resulting patents, including a nonexclusive license authorizing the U.S. government to use the invention for noncommercial purposes. These rights may permit the U.S. government to disclose our confidential information to third parties and to exercise march-in rights to use or to allow third parties to use our licensed technology. The U.S. government can exercise its march-in rights if it determines that action is necessary because we fail to achieve the practical application of government-funded technology, because action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs, to meet requirements of federal regulations, or to give preference to U.S. industry. In addition, our rights in such inventions may be subject to certain requirements to manufacture products embodying such inventions in the United States. Any exercise by the U.S. government of such rights could harm our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may need to defend ourselves against patent or trademark infringement, or other intellectual property claims, which may be time- consuming and cause us to incur substantial costs. Companies, organizations or individuals, including our competitors, may own or obtain patents, trademarks or other proprietary rights that would prevent or limit our ability to make, use, develop or sell our vehicles or components, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. We may receive inquiries from patent or trademark owners inquiring whether we infringe their proprietary rights. Companies owning patents or other intellectual property rights relating to battery packs, electric motors, fuel cells or electronic power management systems may allege infringement of such rights. In response to a determination that we have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be required to do one or more of the following: • cease development, sales, or use of vehicles that incorporate the asserted intellectual property; • pay substantial damages; • obtain a license from the owner of the asserted intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or • redesign one or more aspects or systems of our trucks.

A successful claim of infringement against us could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. Any litigation or claims, whether valid or invalid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

We also plan to license patents and other intellectual property from third parties, including suppliers and service providers, and we may face claims that our use of this in-licensed technology infringes the intellectual property rights of others. In such cases, we will seek indemnification from our licensors. However, our rights to indemnification may be unavailable or insufficient to cover our costs and losses.

We may also face claims challenging our use of open source software and our compliance with open source license terms. While we monitor our use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose or license our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, such use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed to have occurred. Any breach of such open source license or requirement to disclose or license our proprietary source code could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage, and a decrease in our revenue which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Our success depends, at least in part, on our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we will rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets (including know-how), employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, copyright, trademarks, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights to establish and protect our rights in our technology. We cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that may have or have had access to our trade secrets or proprietary information, including our technology and processes. In connection with our collaboration, partnership and license agreements, our rights to use licensed or jointly owned technology and intellectual property under such agreements may be subject to the continuation of and compliance with the terms of those agreements. In some cases, we may not control the prosecution, maintenance or filing of licensed or jointly owned patent rights, or the enforcement of such patents against third parties.

The protection of our intellectual property rights will be important to our future business opportunities. However, the measures we take to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use by others may not be effective for various reasons, including the following: • any patent applications we submit may not result in the issuance of patents; • the scope of our issued patents may not be broad enough to protect our proprietary rights; • our issued patents may be challenged and/or invalidated by our competitors; • the costs associated with enforcing patents, confidentiality and invention agreements or other intellectual property rights may make aggressive enforcement impracticable; • current and future competitors may circumvent our patents; and • our in-licensed patents may be invalidated, or the owners of these patents may breach our license arrangements.

For example, we are currently enforcing certain of our issued U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights against Tesla. Such litigation could result in such patents being challenged and/or invalidated, expose us to counterclaims of intellectual property infringement and result in a substantial diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

Patent, trademark, and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. Some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Further, policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions may be difficult. Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States.

Our patent applications may not issue as patents, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours. We cannot be certain that we are the first inventor of the subject matter to which we have filed a particular patent application, or if we are the first party to file such a patent application. If another party has filed a patent application to the same subject matter as we have, we may not be entitled to the protection sought by the patent application. Further, the scope of protection of issued patent claims is often difficult to determine. As a result, we cannot be certain that the patent applications that we file will issue, or that our issued patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, our competitors may design around our issued patents, which may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

We may be subject to risks associated with autonomous driving technology. Our trucks can be designed with connectivity for future installation of an autonomous hardware suite and we plan to partner with a third-party software provider in the future to potentially implement autonomous capabilities. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to identify a third party to provide the necessary hardware and software to enable driverless Level 4 or Level 5 autonomy in an acceptable timeframe, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. Autonomous driving technologies are subject to risks, and there have been accidents and fatalities associated with such technologies. The safety of such technologies depends in part on user interaction and users, as well as other drivers on the roadways, may not be accustomed to using or adapting to such technologies. To the extent accidents associated with our autonomous driving systems occur, we could be subject to liability, negative publicity, government scrutiny and further regulation. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

The evolution of the regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles is outside of our control, and we cannot guarantee that our trucks will achieve the requisite level of autonomy to enable driverless systems within our projected timeframe, if ever. There are currently no federal U.S. regulations pertaining to the safety of self-driving vehicles. However, the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has established recommended guidelines. Certain states have legal restrictions on self-driving vehicles, and many other states are considering them. This patchwork increases the difficulty in legal compliance for our vehicles. In Europe, certain vehicle safety regulations apply to self-driving braking and steering systems, and certain treaties also restrict the legality of certain higher levels of self-driving vehicles. Self-driving laws and regulations are expected to continue to evolve in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and foreign countries and may restrict autonomous driving features that we may deploy.

Unfavorable publicity, or a failure to respond effectively to adverse publicity, could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business. As an early stage company, maintaining and enhancing our brand and reputation is critical to our ability to attract and retain employees, partners, customers and investors, and to mitigate legislative or regulatory scrutiny, litigation and government investigations.

Recent significant negative publicity has adversely affected our brand and reputation and our stock price. Negative publicity may result from allegations of fraud, improper business practices, employee misconduct, unfair employment practices or any other matters that could give rise to litigation and/or governmental investigations. Unfavorable publicity relating to us or those affiliated with us, including our former executive chairman, has and may in the future adversely affect public perception of the entire company. Adverse publicity and its effect on overall public perceptions of our brand, or our failure to respond effectively to adverse publicity, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In September 2020, an entity published an article containing certain allegations against us. This article and the public response to such article, as well as other negative publicity, have adversely affected our brand and reputation as well as our stock price, which makes it more difficult for us to attract and retain employees, partners and customers, reduces confidence in our products and services, harms investor confidence and the market price of our securities, invites legislative and regulatory scrutiny and has resulted in litigation and governmental investigations. As a result, customers, potential customers, partners and potential partners have failed to award us additional business, cancelled or sought to cancel existing contracts, and directed future business to our competitors, and may in the future take similar actions, and investors may invest in our competitors instead of us. See Legal Proceedings in Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information.

The successful rehabilitation of our brand will depend largely on regaining a good reputation, meeting our vehicle commercialization schedules, satisfying the requirements of customers, meeting our fueling commitments under our future bundled lease arrangements or other customer arrangements, maintaining a high quality of service under our future bundled lease arrangements, improving our compliance programs and continuing our marketing and public relations efforts. Expenses related to our brand promotion, reputation building, and media strategies have been significant and our efforts may not be successful. We anticipate that other competitors and potential competitors will expand their offerings, which will make maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand increasingly more difficult and expensive. If we fail to successfully rehabilitate our brand in the current or future competitive environment or if events similar to the negative publicity occur in the future, our brand and reputation would be further damaged and our business may suffer.

Although we maintain insurance for the disruption of our business and director and officer liability insurance, these insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Social media platforms present risks and challenges that could cause damage to our brand and reputation, and which could subject us to liability, penalties and other restrictive sanctions. Social media platforms present risks and challenges that have resulted, and may in the future result, in damage to our brand and reputation, and which could subject us to liability, penalties and other restrictive sanctions. Our internal policies and procedures regarding social media have not been, and may not in the future be, effective in preventing the inappropriate use of social media platforms, including blogs, social media websites and other forms of Internet-based communications. These platforms allow individuals access to a broad audience of consumers, investors and other interested persons. The considerable expansion in the use of social media over recent years has increased the volume and speed at which negative publicity arising from these events can be generated and spread, and we may be unable to timely respond to, correct any inaccuracies in, or adequately address negative perceptions arising from such coverage. The use of such platforms by our officers and other employees and former employees has adversely impacted, and could in the future adversely impact, our costs and our brand and reputation, and has resulted, and could in the future result, in the disclosure of confidential information, litigation and regulatory inquiries. Any such litigation or regulatory inquiries may result in significant penalties and other restrictive sanctions and adverse consequences. In addition, negative or inaccurate posts or comments about us on social media platforms could damage our reputation, brand image and goodwill, and we could lose the confidence of our customers and partners, regardless of whether such information is true and regardless of any number of measures we may take to address them. We are currently party to litigation and regulatory proceedings related in part to social media statements. See Legal Proceedings in Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information about those proceedings.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Purchase Agreement to the Selling Stockholder, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales. On June 11, 2021, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Tumim, pursuant to which Tumim has committed to purchase up to $300 million in shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The shares of our Common Stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Tumim at our discretion from time to time over an approximately 36-month period commencing on the Commencement Date. We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of Common Stock to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. Sales of our Common Stock, if any, to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Tumim all, some or none of the shares of our Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to Tumim pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Tumim for the shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Common Stock during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for each Purchase made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of Common Stock that we will sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Tumim will pay for shares purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, if any. Moreover, although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $300 million of our Common Stock to Tumim, only 18,012,845 shares of our Common Stock are being registered for resale by Tumim under the registration statement that includes this prospectus, consisting of (i) the 155,703 Commitment Shares that we previously issued to Tumim upon execution of the Purchase Agreement as consideration for its

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents commitment to purchase our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to 17,857,142 shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to Tumim, in our sole discretion, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date under the Purchase Agreement. If after the Commencement Date we elect to sell to Tumim all of the 17,857,142 shares of Common Stock being registered for resale under this prospectus that are available for sale by us to Tumim in Purchases under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the market prices of our Common Stock during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for each Purchase made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $300 million Total Commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity. If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement more than the 18,012,845 shares being registered for resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the Total Commitment of $300 million under the Purchase Agreement, we must file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by Tumim of any such additional shares of our Common Stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective and we will need to obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, unless the average per share purchase price paid by Tumim for all shares of Common Stock sold under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $16.8066, in which case, under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Exchange Cap limitation will not apply to issuances and sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, in each case, before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our Common Stock to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of Common Stock in addition to the 18,012,845 shares of Common Stock being registered for resale by Tumim under this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares of our Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by Tumim is dependent upon the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, we ultimately sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement.

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to Tumim. If and when we do elect to sell shares of our Common Stock to Tumim pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after Tumim has acquired such shares, Tumim may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from Tumim in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from Tumim in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to Tumim at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.

We may require additional financing to sustain our operations and without it we will not be able to continue operations. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we may, at our discretion, direct Tumim to purchase up to $300 million of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement from time-to-time over an approximately 36-month period beginning on the Commencement Date. Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $300 million of our Common Stock to Tumim, only 18,012,845 shares of our Common Stock are being registered for resale by Tumim under this prospectus, consisting of (i) the 155,703 Commitment Shares that we previously issued to Tumim upon execution of the Purchase Agreement as consideration for its commitment to purchase our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to 17,857,142 shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to Tumim, in our sole discretion, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for the

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Common Stock during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for each Purchase made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any. Accordingly, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold to Tumim, if any, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by Tumim for those shares, or the actual gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales. Assuming a purchase price of $15.60 per share (which represents the closing price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on June 15, 2021), the purchase by Tumim of all of the 17,857,142 shares of Common Stock being registered for resale under this prospectus that are available for sale by us to Tumim in Purchases under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date would result in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $278.6 million, which is substantially less than the $300 million Total Commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. The extent to which we rely on Tumim as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient funding from Tumim were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we may need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we were to sell to Tumim all of the shares of Common Stock available for sale to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, we will still need additional capital to fully implement our business plan. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

Future sales and issuances of our Common Stock or other securities might result in significant dilution and could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline. To raise capital, we may sell Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions other than those contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. Any sales of additional shares will dilute our stockholders.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the sale of substantial amounts of our Common Stock could adversely impact its price.

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from the Offering, and uses may not improve our financial condition or market value. Because we have not designated the amount of net proceeds from the offering to be used for any particular purpose, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of such net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated hereby. Our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or advance our business objectives.

Concentration of ownership among our executive officers and directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions. As of March 31, 2021, Mark A. Russell, our President, Chief Executive Officer and director, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, approximately 12.4%, of our outstanding Common Stock, and our directors and

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents executive officers as a group beneficially own approximately 22.5% of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any amendment of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our Certificate of Incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

As of September 20, 2020, Trevor R. Milton, our founder and former executive chairman, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, approximately 23.9% of our outstanding Common Stock. In connection with his departure in September 2020, for a period of three years from September 20, 2020, Mr. Milton has agreed to certain standstill provisions, including, among other things, agreeing not to (i) acquire ownership (beneficial or otherwise) of more than 19 million shares of our outstanding Common Stock in the aggregate, together with shares held by his affiliates and associates, (ii) propose or effect any extraordinary transaction with respect to us, (iii) solicit any proxy or consent with respect to the election or removal of directors or any other proposal, (iv) seek representation on our board of directors or the removal of any member of our board of directors, or (v) submit any stockholder proposal. In addition, for a period of three years from September 20, 2020, Mr. Milton has agreed to vote his shares of our Common Stock (x) in favor of the slate of directors recommended by our board of directors at any meeting of our stockholders and (y) against the election of any nominee for director not recommended and nominated by our board of directors for election at such meeting. These standstill and voting restrictions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of our executive officers and directors and their affiliates.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline. As of June 15, 2021, we had approximately 395.3 million shares of Common Stock outstanding and outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 0.8 million shares of Common Stock. All of the shares of our Common Stock are freely transferable, subject to compliance with Rule 144 by affiliates, without additional registration under the Securities Act, except for the Commitment Shares being registered on the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We have also registered shares of Common Stock that we have issued, and may in the future issue, under our employee equity incentive plans. These shares may be sold freely in the public market upon issuance, subject to relevant vesting schedules and applicable securities laws.

We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. We have never paid dividends on any of our capital stock and currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Our stock price is volatile, and you may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid. The trading price of our Common Stock is volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. For example, the trading price of our Common Stock declined recently following the release of the Hindenburg article, which contains certain allegations against us. These factors include, but are not limited to: • our progress on achievement of business milestones and objectives; • actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results; • failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that we provide to the public; • issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts or changed recommendations for our stock or the transportation industry in general; • announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments; • operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; • our focus on long-term goals over short-term results; • the timing and magnitude of our investments in the growth of our business; • actual or anticipated changes in laws and regulations affecting our business; • additions or departures of key management or other personnel; • disputes or other developments related to our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation; • our ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis; • sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; • changes in our capital structure, including future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt; and • general economic, political and market conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general, and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies.

The closing price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq ranged from $9.65 to $79.73 following the closing of the Business Combination on June 3, 2020 through May 31, 2021. In September 2020, an entity published an article containing certain allegations against us that we believe has negatively impacted the trading price of our Common Stock. The price of our Common Stock also decreased substantially following public announcements made by us. In addition, broad market and industry factors, including COVID-19, may seriously affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Any investment in our Common Stock is subject to extreme volatility and could result in the loss of your entire investment. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, which has and may in the future be instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. See Legal Proceedings in Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information about those proceedings.

We will continue to incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements require us to carry out activities we have not done previously. For example, we created new board committees and have adopted new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, we will continue to incur expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if our independent auditors identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our reputation, our stock price, or investor perceptions of us. In addition, we have obtained director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with our status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

Our failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business. As a public company, we will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls. The standards required for a public company under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those that were required of us as a private company. We will need to continue to implement additional finance, accounting, and business operating systems, procedures, and controls as we grow our business and organization and to satisfy existing reporting requirements. If we fail to maintain or implement adequate controls, if we are unable to complete the required Section 404 assessment as to the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting in future Form 10-K filings, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in future Form 10-K filings, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the Nasdaq or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

We recently identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective which has, and if not remediated, may again result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations. On April 12, 2021, the SEC Staff released a Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) or the SEC Staff Statement. The SEC Staff Statement clarified guidance for all SPAC-related companies regarding the accounting and reporting for their warrants that could result in the warrants issued by SPACs being classified as a liability measured at fair value, with non-cash fair value adjustments recorded in earnings at each reporting period. After considering the SEC Staff Statement, we re-evaluated our historical accounting for warrants and determined the need to change

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents the accounting treatment of the private warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of VectoIQ and recorded in our consolidated financial statements as a result of our merger with VectoIQ, and the reverse recapitalization that occurred on June 3, 2020. We previously recorded the private warrants as equity. Based on management’s evaluation, the audit committee of our board of directors, in consultation with management, determined that the private warrants should have been classified as liabilities measured at fair value on the Closing Date of the merger with VectoIQ, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in our consolidated statements of operations each reporting period.

Prior to the SEC Staff Statement, we believed that our warrant accounting was consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Our belief was supported by the fact that most other SPACs and parties who have merged with SPACs similarly interpreted the warrant accounting principles at issue. However, based on the clarifications expressed in the SEC Staff Statement, which resulted in the restatement to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, management concluded there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020.

Our controls to evaluate the accounting for complex financial instruments, such as for warrants issued by VectoIQ, did not operate effectively to appropriately apply the provisions of ASC 815-40. This material weakness resulted in a material error in our accounting for warrants related to the private warrants recorded as part of the Business Combination and a restatement of our previously issued financial statements more fully described in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Based on the material weakness, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

To remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, management implemented additional review procedures, and additional training and enhancements to the accounting policy related to the accounting for equity and liability instruments (including those with warrants) to determine proper accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Although our remediation plan has been implemented and is expected to be completed as of the filing date of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2021, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that our internal controls are operating effectively. While management believes that the remedial efforts will resolve the identified material weakness, there is no assurance that management’s remedial efforts conducted to date will be sufficient or that additional remedial actions will not be necessary.

In addition, there can be no assurance that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. If we are unsuccessful in remediating our existing or any future material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting and disclosures and our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, ability to access the capital markets, perceptions of our creditworthiness, and stock price could be adversely affected. In addition, we may be unable to maintain or regain compliance with applicable securities laws or stock market listing requirements. We also face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results. In connection with the restatement described above, our warrants are classified as liabilities. Under this accounting treatment, we are required to measure the fair value of the warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in our operating results for the current period. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside our control. We expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses due to the quarterly fair valuation of our warrants and that such gains or losses could be material.

Our management has limited experience in operating a public company. Our executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Mark A. Russell, who joined us in February 2019 and assumed the responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer in June 2020, is the only member of our management team who has substantial prior experience as an executive officer of a public company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the company. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for the company to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company which will increase our operating costs in future periods.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders. Our Certificate of Incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, another federal or state court situated in the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, or our Bylaws, will provide that the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

In March 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court issued a decision in Salzburg et al. v. Sciabacucchi, which found that an exclusive forum provision providing for claims under the Securities Act to be brought in federals court is facially valid under Delaware law. It is unclear whether this decision will be appealed, or what the final outcome of this case will be. We intend to enforce this provision, but we do not know whether courts in other jurisdictions will agree with this decision or enforce it.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

If securities or industry analysts issue an adverse recommendation regarding our stock or do not publish research or reports about our company, our stock price and trading volume could decline. The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts or the content and opinions included in their reports. Securities analysts may elect not to provide research coverage of our company and such lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. The price of our Common Stock could also decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade our Common Stock, change their price targets, issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. For example, in September 2020, an entity published an article containing certain allegations against us that we believe has negatively impacted the trading price of our Common Stock. If one or more equity research analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

THE TUMIM TRANSACTION

On June 11, 2021, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with Tumim, pursuant to which Tumim has committed to purchase up to $300 million of our Common Stock, at our direction from time to time after the date of this prospectus, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in the Purchase Agreement.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Tumim, and Tumim is obligated to purchase up to $300 million of our Common Stock. Such sales of Common Stock, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time at our sole discretion, over the approximately 36-month period commencing on the Commencement Date, provided, that the registration statement that includes this prospectus covering the resale by Tumim of shares of Common Stock that have been and may be issued under the Purchase Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied.

Tumim has no right to require us to sell any shares of Common Stock to Tumim, but Tumim is obligated to make purchases at our direction subject to certain conditions. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Tumim could be obligated to pay for the Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Tumim will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for us and our operations.

We do not know what the purchase price for our Common Stock will be and therefore cannot be certain as to the number of shares we might issue to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement after the Commencement Date. As of June 15, 2021, there were 395,278,689 shares of our Common Stock outstanding, of which 220,041,142 shares were held by non-affiliates. Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $300 million of our Common Stock to Tumim, only 18,012,845 shares of our Common Stock are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus, which represent the (i) 155,703 Commitment Shares that we issued to Tumim on June 11, 2021 as consideration of its irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to 17,857,142 shares of Common stock that may be issued to Tumim from and after the Commencement Date, if and when we elect to sell shares which have been or may be issued to Tumim in the future under the Purchase Agreement, if and when we sell shares to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. Depending on the market prices of our Common Stock at the time we elect to issue and sell shares to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, we may need to register for resale under the Securities Act additional shares of our Common Stock in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $300,000,000 total commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If all of the 18,012,845 shares offered by Tumim under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof (without taking into account the 19.99% Exchange Cap limitation), such shares would represent approximately 4.36% of the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding and approximately 7.57% of the total number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, in each case as of the date hereof. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 18,012,845 shares offered under this prospectus to Tumim, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Tumim is dependent upon the number of shares we may elect to sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date.

Under applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in no event may we issue or sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement shares of our Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap, unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of our Common Stock to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $16.8066 (which represents the average closing price of our Common Stock for the five trading days ending on June 10, 2021, the trading day immediately preceding the date the Purchase Agreement was executed) plus an incremental

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents amount, such that issuances and sales of our Common Stock to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement would be exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules. In any event, the Purchase Agreement specifically provides that we may not issue or sell any shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable Nasdaq rules.

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from directing Tumim to purchase any shares of Common Stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then beneficially owned by Tumim and its affiliates, would result in Tumim and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

As consideration for Tumim’s irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of our Common Stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued 155,703 Commitment Shares to Tumim.

Purchase of Shares Under the Purchase Agreement Upon the Commencement we have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion over the approximately 36-month period from and after Commencement Date, to direct Tumim to purchase amounts of our Common Stock (the “Purchase Share Amount”) under the Purchase Agreement, that we specify in Purchase notices that we deliver to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement on any trading day. The maximum number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to a Purchase is equal to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (the “Purchase Maximum Amount”): • the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $35,000,000 by (B) the last closing trade price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable day Tumim receives a valid Purchase notice for such Purchase, and • the product obtained by multiplying (A) the daily trading volume in the Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable day Tumim receives a valid Purchase notice for such Purchase and (B) 0.20.

Tumim is obligated to accept each Purchase notice prepared and timely delivered on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable Purchase Valuation Period (each, a “Purchase Exercise Date”) by us in accordance with the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement; provided that, Tumim shall not be obligated to purchase any shares of Common Stock set forth in a valid Purchase notice in excess of the Purchase Maximum Amount. We may deliver a Purchase notice on a Purchase Exercise Date, provided that (i) we may not deliver more than one Purchase notice to Tumim on any single trading day, (ii) we may not deliver a Purchase notice to Tumim on any trading day during the period commencing on the Purchase Exercise Date on which a prior Purchase notice has previously been delivered by us to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, and ending on the applicable trading day immediately following the last trading day of the applicable Purchase Valuation Period (each such date, a “Purchase Settlement Date”) or such later trading day on which Tumim shall have received all of the Purchase Shares subject to such prior Purchase notice in electronic form as “DWAC Shares” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (iii) all Purchase Shares subject to all prior Purchase notices previously delivered by us to Tumim have in fact been received by Tumim as DWAC Shares prior to our delivery of such Purchase notice to Tumim on such Purchase Exercise Date.

The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock that we may direct Tumim to purchase pursuant to a Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be equal to 97% of the arithmetic average of the three VWAPs during the Purchase Valuation Period as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, shares in respect of each Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be settled on the applicable Purchase Settlement Date immediately following the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for such Purchase, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Initial Purchase We have agreed to deliver to Tumim, no later than June 11, 2022, at least one Purchase notice directing Tumim to purchase an amount of shares that we will determine, in our sole discretion, at the time we elect to deliver such notice to Tumim, subject to the limitations and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Conditions to Commencement and Delivery of Purchase Notices Our ability to deliver Purchase notices to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement are subject to the satisfaction, both at the time of Commencement and at the time of delivery by the Company of any Purchase notice to Tumim, of certain conditions, all of which are entirely outside of Tumim’s control, including, among other things, the following: • the accuracy in all material respects of our representations and warranties included in the Purchase Agreement; • us having performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the Purchase Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by us; • the effectiveness of this registration statement that includes this prospectus (and any one or more additional registration statements filed with the SEC that include shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold by us to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement); • the SEC shall not have issued any stop order suspending the effectiveness, prohibiting or suspending the use of the registration statement that includes this prospectus (or any one or more additional registration statements filed with the SEC that include shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold by us to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement); • there shall not have occurred any event and there shall not exist any condition or state of facts, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the registration statement that includes this prospectus (or in any one or more additional registration statements filed with the SEC that include shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold by us to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement) untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements contained therein in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements then made therein (in the case of this prospectus or the prospectus included in any one or more additional registration statements filed with the SEC under the Registration Rights Agreement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; • this prospectus, in final form, shall have been filed with the SEC under the Securities Act, and all reports, schedules, registrations, forms, statements, information and other documents required to have been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, shall have been filed with the SEC; • trading in our Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or the Nasdaq, we shall not have received any final and non-appealable notice that the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq shall be terminated on a date certain (unless, prior to such date, the Common Stock is listed or quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE American (or any nationally recognized successor to any of the foregoing) (each, an “Eligible Market”)), and there shall be no suspension of, or restriction on, accepting additional deposits of the Common Stock, electronic trading or book-entry services by DTC with respect to the Common Stock;

• we shall have complied with all applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement; • the absence of any statute, regulation, order, decree, writ, ruling or injunction by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction which prohibits the consummation of or that would materially modify or delay any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement; • the absence of any action, suit or proceeding before any arbitrator or any court or governmental authority seeking to restrain, prevent or change the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, or seeking material damages in connection with such transactions; • all of the shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall have been approved for listing or quotation on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or if the Common Stock is not then listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on any Eligible Market); • no condition, occurrence, state of facts or event constituting a material adverse effect shall have occurred and be continuing; • any voluntary or involuntary participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us; and • the receipt by Tumim of the opinions, bring-down opinions and negative assurances from outside counsel to us in the forms mutually agreed to by us and Tumim prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement.

No Short-Selling or Hedging by Tumim Tumim has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our shares.

Prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions Subject to specified exceptions included in the Purchase Agreement, we are limited in our ability to enter into specified “dilutive issuances” during the period of time between the time we deliver a Purchase notice to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement and the final settlement of such Purchase. Such transactions include, the issuance of Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, at a price (or with with a conversion or exercise price) that is less than the per share purchase price Tumim is required to pay for the Purchase Shares that are subject to such pending Purchase notice.

From and after the date of the Purchase Agreement until the termination of the Purchase Agreement, we have also agreed not to enter into any “equity line of credit” or other substantially similar continuous offering in which we may offer, issue or sell Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (or any combination of units thereof) at a future determined price.

Termination of the Purchase Agreement Unless earlier terminated as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earliest to occur of: • the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement Date; • the date on which Tumim shall have purchased shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate gross purchase price equal to its $300 million Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement;

• the date on which the Common Stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other Eligible Market; and • the date on which we commence a voluntary bankruptcy case or any third party commences a bankruptcy proceeding against us, a custodian is appointed for us in a bankruptcy proceeding for all or substantially all of its property, or we make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon one trading day’s prior written notice to Tumim. We and Tumim may also terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time by mutual written consent.

Tumim also has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon 10 trading days’ prior written notice to us, but only upon the occurrence of certain events, including: • the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); • the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) involving us; • our failure to file with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectus or any additional registration statement we file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, within the time periods set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement; • the effectiveness of the registration statement that includes this prospectus or any additional registration statement we file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement lapses for any reason (including the issuance of a stop order by the SEC), or this prospectus or the prospectus included in any additional registration statement we file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement otherwise becomes unavailable to Tumim for the resale of all of the shares of Common Stock included therein, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of 30 consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of 120 trading days in any 365-day period, other than due to acts of Tumim; or • trading in the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or if the Common Stock is then listed on an Eligible Market, trading in the Common Stock on such Eligible Market) has been suspended for a period of three consecutive trading days.

No termination of the Purchase Agreement by us or by Tumim will become effective prior to the first Trading Day immediately following the applicable settlement date related to any pending Purchase that has not been fully settled in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, and will not affect any of our respective rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement with respect to any pending Purchase, and both we and Tumim have agreed to complete our respective obligations with respect to any such pending Purchase under the Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, no termination of the Purchase Agreement will affect the Registration Rights Agreement, which will survive any termination of the Purchase Agreement.

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on our Stockholders All shares of Common Stock that have been or may be issued or sold by us to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement that are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by Tumim in this offering are expected to be freely tradable. The shares of Common Stock being registered for resale in this offering (excluding the 155,703 Commitment Shares we already issued to Tumim) may be issued and sold by us to Tumim from time to time at our discretion over a period of up to 36 months commencing on the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement. The resale by Tumim of a significant amount of shares registered for resale in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our Common Stock, if any, to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Tumim all, some or none of the shares of our Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to Tumim pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Tumim to purchase up to $300 million of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations. We have registered only a portion of the shares that may be issuable under the Purchase Agreement and, therefore, we may seek to issue and sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement more shares of our Common Stock than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive the aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $300 million Total Commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we direct Tumim to purchase under the Purchase Agreement.

The following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from Tumim from our sale of shares to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices:

Gross Proceeds Percentage of from the Assumed Number of Outstanding Shares Sale of Shares to Average Registered Shares After Giving Effect Tumim Under the Purchase Price to be Issued to the Issuance to Purchase Per Share if Full Purchase(1) Tumim(2) Agreement $14.00 17,857,142 4.36% $ 249,999,988 $15.00 17,857,142 4.36% $ 267,857,130 $15.60(3) 17,857,142 4.36% $ 278,571,415 $16.00 17,857,142 4.36% $ 285,714,272 $16.80 17,857,142 4.36% $ 300,000,000

(1) Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $300 million of our Common Stock to Tumim, we are only registering 18,012,845 shares under this prospectus which represents: (i) 155,703 Commitment Shares that we already issued to Tumim as a commitment fee for making the commitment under the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) an additional 17,857,142 shares which may be issued to Tumim in the future under the Purchase Agreement, if and when we sell shares to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, and which may or may not cover all the shares we ultimately sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the purchase price per share. As a result, we have included in this column only those shares that we are registering in this offering. If we seek to issue shares of our Common Stock, including shares from other transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in excess of 78,769,697 shares, or 19.99% of the total Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we may be required to seek stockholder approval in order to be in compliance with the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. (2) The denominator is based on 395,278,689 shares outstanding as of June 15, 2021, which includes the 155,703 Commitment Shares issued to Tumim upon execution of the Purchase Agreement and adjusted to include the number of shares set forth in the adjacent column which we would have sold to Tumim, assuming the purchase price in the first column. The numerator is based on the number of shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement at the corresponding assumed purchase price set forth in the first column. (3) The closing sale price of our Common Stock on June 15, 2021.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to shares of our Common Stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by Tumim. All of the Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholder for its own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. We may receive up to $300 million aggregate gross proceeds under the Purchase Agreement from any sales we make to Tumim pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of our Common Stock to Tumim pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be up to $299,700,000 over an approximately 36-month period, assuming that we sell the full amount of our Common Stock that we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement, and after estimated fees and expenses. See “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.

We expect to use any proceeds that we receive under the Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include providing funding to complete our Arizona manufacturing facility, develop commercial scale BEV and FCEV Class 8 trucks and develop hydrogen station infrastructure. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses, and the respective amounts we may allocate to those uses, for any net proceeds we receive. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds. Pending our use of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in interest-bearing, investment- grade instruments.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock to date. We may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, and have no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combine the historical statements of operations of us and VectoIQ for such periods on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented: • the merger of Legacy Nikola with and into Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of VectoIQ, with Legacy Nikola surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VectoIQ; • the issuance and sale of 52,500,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $525.0 million in a private placement pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, or the PIPE; and • the redemption of 7,000,000 shares of common stock from M&M Residual, LLC, or M&M Residual, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include an unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 as the Business Combination and related transactions are already reflected in our historical audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Business Combination and related transactions; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on our results following the completion of the Business Combination and related transactions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with: • the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements; • our historical audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this prospectus; and • other information relating to VectoIQ and Legacy Nikola contained in this prospectus, including the Business Combination Agreement.

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of shares of common stock prior to the completion of the Business Combination were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Business Combination, shares of common stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the closing) in the Trust Account (as defined in the section entitled “Description of Our Securities”). The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements reflect actual redemption of 2,702 shares of common stock at $10.37 per share.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP.

Under this method of accounting, VectoIQ is treated as the acquired company and Legacy Nikola is treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Legacy Nikola has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances: • Legacy Nikola’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity with over 77% voting interest; • the largest minority voting stockholder of the combined entity is an existing stockholder of Legacy Nikola; • Legacy Nikola’s directors represent eight of the nine board seats for the combined company’s board of directors; • Legacy Nikola’s existing stockholders have the ability to control decisions regarding election and removal of directors and officers of the combined entity’s executive board of directors; and • Legacy Nikola’s senior management is the senior management of the combined company.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on the dates indicated.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 does not reflect the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments as based on the statutory rate in effect for the period presented. Management believes that income tax adjustments in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 to not be meaningful given the combined entity incurred a significant loss during the period presented and we recognize a full valuation allowance.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination and is not necessarily indicative of what actual results of operations would have been. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

2. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only. VectoIQ and Legacy Nikola have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows: (A) Represents pro forma adjustment to selling, general, and administrative expenses to reflect the following:

Year ended December 31, 2020 Salary and stock-based compensation expense related to amended and restated employment agreements $ 52,710 (B) Elimination of VectoIQ’s historical office space and general administrative services (50) (C) $ 52,660 (A) (B) Effective as of the Closing Date, we entered into individual amended and restated employment agreements with certain executive officers. The executive officers agreed to an annual salary of $1 and were granted: • 1,420,000 time-vested stock awards consisting of RSUs for shares of common stock, with a value of $48.2 million, subject to continued employment during a three-year cliff vesting schedule.

• 11,497,000 market based awards consisting of RSUs for shares of common stock, with a value of $328.0 million, subject to a stock price index milestones and continued employment during a three-year cliff vesting schedule. Excluded from the amounts above are 600,000 time-vested and 4,859,000 market based awards issued to our former executive chairman. Upon the former executive chairman’s departure in September 2020, the time-vested awards were modified to fully vest in September 2020 and the market-based awards were forfeited. The historical financial statements reflect the impact of the modification and forfeiture. (C) Represents pro forma adjustment to eliminate historical expenses related to VectoIQ’s office space and general administrative services, which terminated upon consummation of the Merger. (D) Represents pro forma adjustment to eliminate investment income related to the investment held in the Trust Account. (E) Reflects the elimination of the loss on the forward contract liability. We settled the liability in April 2020 with the issuance of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, which ceased to exist upon the conversion into common stock as part of the Business Combination. (F) Reflects the elimination of the premium paid on repurchase of redeemable convertible preferred stock, which ceased to exist upon the conversion into common stock as part of the Business Combination.

3. Loss per Share Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination and related transactions, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination and related transactions have been outstanding for the entire period presented.

Year ended December 31, 2020 Pro forma net loss (in thousands): Basic $ (423,412) Diluted(1) $ (436,860) Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 371,420,779 Diluted 371,926,541 Net loss per share: Basic $ (1.14) Diluted $ (1.17) Weighted average shares outstanding VectoIQ Public Stockholders 22,983,872 Holders of VectoIQ Founder Shares 6,640,000 PIPE Investors 52,500,000 Legacy Nikola stockholders(2) 278,780,606 Post Business Combination common stock issuances(3) 10,516,301 Weighted average shares outstanding—basic 371,420,779 Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of private warrants(4) 505,762 Weighted average shares outstanding—diluted 371,926,541

(1) The pro forma net loss, diluted has been adjusted for the revaluation of warrant liability related to common stock equivalents.

(2) The pro forma shares attributable to Legacy Nikola stockholders is calculated by applying the exchange ratio of 1.901 to the historical Legacy Nikola common stock and preferred stock that was exchanged in the Business Combination. Pro forma shares attributable to Legacy Nikola stockholder was further adjusted for the redemption of 7.0 million shares of common stock from M&M Residual as described elsewhere in this Prospectus. (3) This amount includes weighted averages shares of stock options exercised, restricted stock unit distributions, and warrant redemptions that occurred subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination. (4) Dilutive effect of shares of common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise of private warrants. The treasury stock method was used to calculate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with “Prospectus Summary—Summary Consolidated Financial Information” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion and analysis should also be read together with our pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2020. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in or implied by the forward- looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this prospectus.

Overview We are a technology innovator and integrator, working to develop innovative energy and transportation solutions. We are pioneering a business model that will enable corporate customers to integrate next-generation truck technology, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and related maintenance. By creating this ecosystem, we and our strategic business partners and suppliers hope to build a long-term competitive advantage for clean technology vehicles and next generation fueling solutions.

We operate in two business units: Truck and Energy. The Truck business unit is developing and commercializing BEV and FCEV Class 8 trucks that provide environmentally friendly, cost effective solutions to the short, medium and long haul trucking sector. The Energy business unit is primarily developing and constructing a network of hydrogen fueling stations to meet hydrogen fuel demand for our FCEV customers.

In 2019, we partnered with Iveco, a subsidiary of CNHI, a leading European industrial vehicle manufacturing company. Together, we are jointly developing cab over BEV and FCEV trucks for sale in the European market, which will be manufactured through a 50/50 owned joint venture in Europe. In April 2020, we entered into a series of agreements with Iveco which established the joint venture, Nikola Iveco Europe GmbH. Our joint venture with Iveco provides us with the manufacturing infrastructure to build BEV trucks for the North American market in addition to that of our greenfield manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona. The operations of the joint venture commenced during the fourth quarter of 2020.

We expect both our capital and operating expenditures to increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as we: • construct manufacturing facilities and purchase related equipment; • commercialize our heavy-duty trucks and other products; • develop hydrogen fueling stations; • continue to invest in our technology; • increase our investment in marketing and advertising, sales, and distribution infrastructure for our products and services; • maintain and improve our operational, financial and management information systems; • hire additional personnel;

• obtain, maintain, expand, and protects our intellectual property portfolio; and • operate as a public company.

Comparability of Financial Information Our results of operations and statements of assets and liabilities may not be comparable between periods as a result of the Business Combination.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs On June 3, 2020, we consummated the merger contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement with VectoIQ, with Legacy Nikola surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VectoIQ. Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, all shares of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock of Legacy Nikola were automatically converted into shares of VectoIQ’s common stock. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Nikola common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and converted into the right to receive 1.901 shares of common stock. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, VectoIQ’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to 750,000,000 shares, of which 600,000,000 shares were designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and of which 150,000,000 shares were designated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, VectoIQ entered into separate subscription agreements with a number of investors, each, a Subscriber, pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and VectoIQ agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 52,500,000 shares of common stock, or the PIPE Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $525.0 million, in the PIPE. The PIPE investment closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Legacy Nikola repurchased 2,850,930 shares of Legacy Nikola’s Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock at the price of $8.77 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million pursuant to a Series B preferred stock repurchase agreement, or the Nimbus Repurchase Agreement, with Nimbus Holdings LLC, or Nimbus. The repurchase is retrospectively adjusted in the statement of stockholders’ equity to reflect our equity structure for all periods presented.

Immediately following the Business Combination, pursuant to a redemption agreement, Nikola redeemed 7,000,000 shares of common stock from M&M Residual at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with GAAP. While VectoIQ was the legal acquirer, because Legacy Nikola was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Nikola became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

As a consequence of the Business Combination, we became a Nasdaq-listed company, which will require that we continue to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit, compliance, and legal fees.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Commercial Launch of Nikola heavy duty trucks and other products We expect to derive revenue from our BEV trucks in late 2021 and FCEV trucks in the second half 2023. Prior to commercialization, we must complete modification or construction of required manufacturing facilities, purchase and integrate related equipment and software, and achieve several research and development milestones. As a result, we will require substantial additional capital to develop our products and services and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Until we can generate sufficient revenue from product sales and hydrogen FCEV leases, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of existing cash on hand, public offerings, private placements, debt financings, collaborations, and licensing arrangements. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our development efforts. We expect that any delays in the successful completion of our manufacturing facility will impact our ability to generate revenue.

Customer Demand While our products are not yet commercially available, we have received significant interest from potential customers. Going forward, we expect contractual orders from customers to be an important indicator of our future performance.

Basis of Presentation Currently, we conduct business through one reportable and one operating segment. See Note 2 in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for more information.

Components of Results of Operations Revenues Prior to 2021, we primarily generated revenue from services related to solar installation projects that were completed in one year or less. Solar installation projects are not a part of our primary operations and were concluded in 2020.

Following the anticipated introduction of our products to the market, we expect the significant majority of our revenue to be derived from our BEV trucks starting in late 2021 and from bundled leases, or other alternative structures, for our FCEV trucks beginning in 2023. As currently planned, our bundled lease model will be inclusive of the cost of the truck, hydrogen fuel, and regularly scheduled maintenance.

Cost of Revenues Prior to 2021, our cost of revenue included materials, labor, and other direct costs related to solar installation projects.

Once we have reached commercial production, cost of revenue will include direct parts, material and labor costs, manufacturing overhead, including amortized tooling costs and depreciation of our greenfield manufacturing facility, depreciation of our hydrogen fueling stations, cost of hydrogen production, shipping and logistics costs and reserves for estimated warranty expenses.

Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the discovery and development of our vehicles, which include: • Fees paid to third parties such as consultants and contractors for outside development;

• Expenses related to materials, supplies and third-party services, including prototype tooling and non-recurring engineering; • Personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, for personnel in our engineering and research functions; and • Depreciation for prototyping equipment and R&D facilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, our research and development expenses have primarily been incurred in the development of the BEV and FCEV trucks.

As a part of its in-kind investment, Iveco agreed to provide us with $100.0 million in advisory services (based on pre-negotiated hourly rates), including project coordination, drawings, documentation support, engineering support, vehicle integration, and product validation support. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we utilized $12.9 million of advisory services, which were recorded as research and development expense. As of March 31, 2021, we have $33.4 million of prepaid in-kind advisory services remaining which is expected to be consumed during 2021 and will be recorded as research and development expense until we reach commercial production.

We expect our research and development costs to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to achieve our technology and product roadmap goals.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of personnel related expenses for our corporate, executive, finance, and other administrative functions, expenses for outside professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services, as well as expenses for facilities, depreciation, amortization, travel, and marketing costs. Personnel related expenses consist of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation.

We expect our selling, general, and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.

Interest Income (Expense), net Interest income consists primarily of interest received or earned on our cash and cash equivalents balances. Interest expense consists of interest on our finance lease liability and term loan.

Revaluation of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability The revaluation of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability includes gains and losses from the remeasurement of our redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability. As of December 31, 2019, all of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants were exercised, therefore, subsequent to 2019, there is no impact from the remeasurement of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants.

Loss on Forward Contract Liability The loss on forward contract liability includes losses from the remeasurement of the Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock forward contract liability. In April 2020, we fulfilled the forward contract liability and, therefore, subsequent to June 30, 2020, there will not be any impact from the remeasurement of the forward contract liability.

Revaluation of Warrant Liability The revaluation of warrant liability includes net gains and losses from the remeasurement of the warrant liability. Warrants recorded as liabilities are recorded at their fair value and remeasured at each reporting period or upon settlement.

Other Income, net Other income consists primarily of other miscellaneous non-operating items, such as government grants, subsidies, merchandising, foreign currency gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses on investments.

Income Tax Expense Our income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal and state income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in the tax law. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. and state deferred tax assets. Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was not material.

Equity in Net Loss of Affiliate Equity in net loss of affiliate consists of our portion of losses from our joint venture, Nikola Iveco Europe, Gmbh.

This increase was primarily due to $12.8 million in higher spend on purchased components and outside engineering services as we focus on the development, building, and testing and validation of our Tre BEV truck, as well as continuing the development of our FCEV truck platform. In addition, we incurred higher stock-based compensation expense of $10.0 million, and increased personnel costs of $6.8 million driven by growth in our in-house engineering headcount.

Solar Revenues and Cost of Solar Revenues Solar revenues and cost of solar revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were related to solar installation service projects. Solar installation projects were not related to our primary operations and were concluded in 2020. Solar revenues and costs of solar revenues were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Research and Development Research and development expenses increased by $118.1 million or 175% from $67.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 to $185.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to $77.4 million in higher spend on purchased prototype components and outside engineering services as we focus primarily on the development, build, and testing of our BEV truck platform, as well as continuing the development of our FCEV truck platform. In addition, we incurred increased personnel costs of $21.4 million driven by growth in our in-house engineering headcount, and higher stock-based compensation expense of $15.2 million primarily in connection with the Business Combination, higher headcount, and RSU grants made to employees during 2020. We also incurred higher depreciation and occupancy costs associated with our headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona and related capital equipment and software.

Selling, General, and Administrative Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $162.0 million or 783% from $20.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 to $182.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily related to higher stock-based compensation expense of $117.9 million for RSU grants to executive officers in connection with the Business Combination and increased headcount. In addition, there was an increase in legal expenses of $27.5 million primarily related to regulatory and legal matters incurred in connection with the Hindenburg article from September 2020. Further, there was an increase in personnel expenses of $7.3 million driven by growth in headcount and higher general corporate expenses, professional services, travel, and depreciation of our headquarters. This was partially offset by a decrease in marketing costs due to the Nikola World event held in 2019, which was not held in 2020.

Impairment Expense Impairment expense of $14.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 resulted from the discontinuation of the Powersports business unit in the fourth quarter of 2020, which resulted in an impairment charge on in-process R&D, trademarks and certain long-lived assets.

Interest Income, net Interest income, net decreased by $1.3 million or 86%, from $1.5 million of income during the year ended December 31, 2019 to $0.2 million of income during the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in interest expense from our finance lease liability and a lower average interest rate earned on deposits. This was partially offset by a higher cash and cash equivalents balance in 2020.

Loss on Forward Contract Liability Our loss on the forward contract liability represents recognized loss from a $1.3 million change in fair value as of the settlement date. The forward contract liability was settled in April 2020.

Revaluation of Warrant Liability The revaluation of warrant liability represents a net remeasurement gain of $13.4 million resulting from the change in fair value of our warrant liability. The remeasurement gain includes a $12.4 million gain for the change in fair value of our warrant liability for warrants not yet exercised as of December 31, 2020, and a $1.0 million remeasurement gain for warrants exercised during 2020.

Other Income (Expense), net Other income (expense), net decreased by $2.2 million, from $1.4 million of income during the year ended December 31, 2019 to $0.8 million of expense during the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was driven primarily by one-time grant income received during 2019, losses on foreign currency exchange and unrealized losses on investments during 2020.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) Income tax expense (benefit) for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a $1.0 million benefit, primarily related to changes in deferred tax liabilities related to our indefinite-lived intangible which was impaired in 2020. Income tax expense was immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2019. We have cumulative net operating losses at the federal and state level and maintain a full valuation allowance against our net deferred taxes.

Equity in Net Loss of Affiliate Equity in net loss of affiliate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0.6 million as operations of our joint venture commenced in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2019 to Year Ended December 31, 2018 The following table sets forth our historical operating results for the periods indicated:

Solar Revenues and Cost of Solar Revenues Solar revenues and cost of solar revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were related to solar installation service projects. Solar installation projects are related to legacy projects that were not related to our primary operations and were concluded in 2020. Solar revenues and costs of solar revenues were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Research and Development Research and development expenses increased by $9.1 million or 16% from $58.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $67.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $13.3 million in personnel related expenses, offset by a $4.4 million decrease in outside development expenses.

The increase in personnel costs was primarily driven by our increased engineering headcount year over year as we continue to advance the development and design of our vehicles and invest in our in-house engineering capabilities.

Outside development and materials expenses were higher in the year ended December 31, 2018 to support the development and build of the FCEV trucks, along with other vehicles. Additionally, in the year ended December 31, 2019, we managed our outside research and development spend by building our internal engineering team and expect to continue to do so going forward.

Selling, General, and Administrative Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $8.5 million or 69% from $12.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $20.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to a one-time payment of $2.1 million related to consulting services on future manufacturing site selection, and higher marketing expenses of $2.7 million primarily related to the Nikola World event held in April 2019. The remaining $3.7 million increase is attributed to higher personnel expenses driven by growth in headcount and higher general corporate expenses, including depreciation of our headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

Interest Income, net Interest income, net increased by $0.8 million or 112%, from $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the substantial portion of cash and cash equivalents on hand being moved to a higher interest-bearing investment account in the second quarter of 2019.

Revaluation of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability The revaluation of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability decreased $6.8 million due to a $3.5 million gain recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018 on 3.0 million Series A redeemable convertible preferred warrants which expired in March 2018 as opposed to a $3.3 million loss recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 on 720 thousand Series A warrants which were exercised in December 2019.

Other Income, net Other income, net increased by $1.4 million, from $6 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily related to grants received from the state of Arizona, as well as subcontracting work performed on government contracts.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we entered into a $3.5 million grant agreement with Arizona Commerce Authority to relocate our headquarters to Arizona, build manufacturing and research and development operations, create jobs, and enter into capital investments within the state. We met the first milestone of the agreement in the fourth quarter of 2019 and received the initial payment of $1.0 million from the state. We will record future payments in other income as they are received.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) Income tax expense (benefit) increased by $2.2 million, from a benefit of $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to an expense of $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in tax expense is primarily related to changes in deferred tax liabilities recorded for our intangible assets and goodwill.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating operational performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing operating performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA “EBITDA” is defined as net loss before interest income or expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation and other items determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The following table reconciles net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

(1) Regulatory and legal matters include legal, advisory, and other professional service fees incurred in connection with the Hindenburg article from September 2020, and investigations and litigation related thereto.

Non-GAAP Net Loss and Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share, Basic and Diluted Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted are presented as supplemental measures of our performance. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted adjusted for stock compensation expense and other items determined by management. Non-GAAP net loss per share, basic, is defined as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average shares outstanding, basic. Non-GAAP net loss per share, diluted, is defined as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average shares outstanding, diluted, which has been adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares of common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise of the warrants.

The following table reconciles net loss and net loss per share to non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share for the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock, the Business Combination and redemption of warrants. As of March 31, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $763.8 million, which are primarily invested in money market funds.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements As of the date of this prospectus, we have yet to generate revenue from our core business operations. As of March 31, 2021, our current assets were $804.4 million, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $763.8 million, and our current liabilities were $71.0 million, primarily comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to continue to execute our business strategy over the next twelve month period by (i) completing the development and industrialization of the BEV truck, (ii) completing phase one construction of the greenfield manufacturing facility, (iii) completing the construction of a pilot commercial hydrogen station and (iv) hiring of personnel.

However, actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including: • the costs of our greenfield manufacturing facility construction and equipment;

• the timing and the costs involved in bringing our vehicles to market, mainly the BEV truck; • our ability to manage the costs of manufacturing the BEV trucks; • the scope, progress, results, costs, timing and outcomes of our research and development for our FCEV trucks; • the costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities; • revenue received from sales of our BEV trucks; • the costs of additional general and administrative personnel, including accounting and finance, legal and human resources, as well as costs related to litigation, investigations, or settlements; • our ability to collect future revenue; and • other risks discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements Our current capital will not be sufficient to cover forecasted capital needs and operating expenditures starting in the second half of fiscal year 2022. Until we can generate sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures, we expect to fund cash needs through a combination of equity and debt financing, including lease securitization. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The credit market and financial services industry have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.

While we will need to raise additional capital in the future, if adequate funds are not available, we will need to curb our expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which would have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

The following table provides a summary of cash flow data:

Three Months Ended March 31, Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2020 2019 2018 (in thousands) (in thousands) Net cash used in operating activities $ (59,249) $ (21,897) $(150,533) $(80,627) $(54,019) Net cash used in investing activities (24,521) (1,439) (31,141) (39,302) (15,410) Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities (1,758) 13,151 941,120 35,805 211,732

Cash Flows from Operating Activities Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by the growth of our business primarily related to research and development and selling, general, and administrative activities. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The most significant component of our cash used during this period was a net loss of $120.2 million, which included non-cash expenses of $50.3 million related to stock-based compensation, $12.9 million expense for in-kind

The net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $15.1 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities We continue to experience negative cash flows from investing activities as we expand our business and build our infrastructure. Cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to capital expenditures to support our growth. Net cash used in investing activities is expected to continue to increase substantially as we build out and tool our North American truck manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona, finance initial operations of our joint venture in Ulm, Germany, and develop the network of hydrogen fueling stations. As of March 31, 2021, we anticipate our capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2021 to be between $185 million to $205 million, of which a significant portion is related to the construction of our truck manufacturing facility and purchases of related equipment in Coolidge, Arizona.

Net cash used in investing activities was $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was primarily due to costs of construction for our Coolidge manufacturing facility, purchases and deposits for capital equipment and supplier tooling.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was due to purchases and deposits on capital equipment related to the construction of our headquarters and R&D facility.

Net cash used in investing activities was $31.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was primarily due to purchases and deposits for property and equipment, including costs of construction for our Coolidge manufacturing facility and purchases of capital equipment of $22.3 million and $8.8 million in cash paid for investment in the joint venture.

Net cash used in investing activities was $39.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was primarily due to purchases and deposits on capital equipment of $21.1 million and $18.2 million related to the construction of our headquarters.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was primarily due to purchases and deposits on capital equipment of $9.2 million, $3.4 million related to the construction of our headquarters, and the issuance of a note receivable to a related party of $2.5 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities Through March 31, 2021, we have financed our operations through proceeds from sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock, the Business Combination, and redemption of warrants.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was primarily due to $4.1 million term note repayment and payments on our financing lease of $0.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercises of stock options of $2.6 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock of $13.0 million and proceeds from tenant allowances for the construction of our headquarters of $0.9 million, offset by payments made for future stock issuance costs of $0.4 million and payments on our financing lease of $0.3 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $941.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was primarily due to net proceeds of $616.7 million from the Business Combination and the PIPE, the proceeds from the exercise of public and private warrants of $264.5 million, the proceeds from the issuance of Legacy Nikola’s Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, net of issuance costs, of $50.3 million, proceeds from the exercises of stock options of $9.7 million and proceeds from tenant allowances for the construction of our headquarters of $0.9 million, offset by payments on our finance lease liability of $1.0 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock of $65.0 million and proceeds from the exercise of the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants of $2.2 million, offset by the repurchase of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock of $31.4 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $211.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock of $209.0 million and proceeds from borrowings of $4.1 million related to the term note, offset by the retirement of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock of $1.4 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments as of December 31, 2020, and the years in which these obligations are due:

Payments Due By Period Less than 1 - 3 3 - 5 More than Total 1 Year Years Years 5 Years (in thousands) Contractual obligations: Finance lease liability $19,057 $ 1,797 $ 3,756 $3,972 $ 9,532 Purchase obligations 31,161 21,758 9,403 — — $50,218 $23,555 $13,159 $3,972 $ 9,532

Purchase obligations include purchase orders and agreements with a total term exceeding one year, to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, legally binding, and where the significant terms and minimum purchase obligations are stipulated.

In addition, we enter into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors for research and development services and outsourced services, which are generally cancellable upon written notice. These payments are not included in this table of contractual obligations.

As part of our arrangement with Iveco, once we commence commercial production, we are obligated to pay Iveco a royalty of 1.0% on BEV truck revenues and 1.25% on FCEV truck revenues over a period of seven years. We have not included royalty payments with respect to the licensed Iveco technology in the table above as the timing and amount of such obligations are uncertain.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to our significant contractual obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Since the date of incorporation, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require us to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our most significant estimates and judgments involve valuation of our stock-based compensation, including the fair value of common stock and market-based restricted stock units, the valuation of warrant liabilities, the valuation of the redeemable convertible preferred stock tranche liability, estimates related to our lease assumptions, and contingent liabilities, including litigation reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

While our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are most critical to understanding our financial condition and historical and future results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation We recognize the cost of share-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. We recognize stock-based compensation costs and reverse previously recognized costs for unvested awards in the period forfeitures occur. We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is impacted by the following assumptions: • Expected Term—We use the simplified method when calculating the expected term due to insufficient historical exercise data. • Expected Volatility—As our shares of common stock have limited public trading history, the volatility is based on a benchmark of comparable companies within the automotive and energy storage industries. • Expected Dividend Yield—The dividend rate used is zero as we have never paid any cash dividends on common stock or Legacy Nikola common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. • Risk-Free Interest Rate—The interest rates used are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.

Common Stock Valuations The grant date fair value of Legacy Nikola common stock was determined by Legacy Nikola’s board of directors with the assistance of management and an independent third-party valuation specialist. The grant date fair value of Legacy Nikola common stock was determined using valuation methodologies which utilize certain assumptions, including probability weighting of events, volatility, time to liquidation, a risk-free interest rate, and an assumption for a discount for lack of marketability (Level 3 inputs). Based on our early stage of development and other relevant factors, we determined that an Option Pricing Model, or OPM, was the most appropriate method for allocating our enterprise value to determine the estimated fair value of Legacy Nikola common stock. Application of the OPM involves the use of estimates, judgment, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses, and cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies, and the probability of future events. Specifically, we have historically used the OPM backsolve method to estimate the fair value of Legacy Nikola common stock, which derives the implied equity value for one type of equity security from a contemporaneous transaction involving another type of security, shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock in this instance.

As of June 3, 2020, our stock is publicly traded and the fair value of our common stock is based on the closing price of our common stock on or around the date of grant.

Market-Based RSUs The fair value of market based RSU awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility, that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award to calculate the fair value of the award. Significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited history of trading of our common stock, we determined expected volatility based on a peer group of publicly traded companies.

Common Stock Warrants Common stock warrants issued with debt, equity or as standalone financial instruments are recorded as either liabilities or equity in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at their fair value determined at the issuance date and are not subsequently remeasured. Warrants recorded as liabilities are recorded at their fair value and remeasured on each reporting date, and upon settlement, with change in estimated fair value of common stock warrant liability in the consolidated statement of operations.

We, with the assistance of third-party valuations, utilize the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of warrants at each reporting date. The application of the Black-Scholes model utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility. Significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited history of trading of our common stock, we determined expected volatility based on a peer group of publicly traded companies. Increases (decreases) in the assumptions result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value of the common stock warrant liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this prospectus, provides more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, inflation, and foreign currency exchange rates, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events, and specific asset risks.

Interest Rate Risk The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $763.8 million, $840.9 million, and $85.7 million, respectively, consisting of interest-bearing money market accounts for which the fair market value would be affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, due to the short-term maturities and the low-risk profile of our investments, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash and cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Risk For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.03 million, respectively, of foreign currency gains. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $0.8 million in foreign currency losses. There was no material foreign currency loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

Who We Are Our vision is to be the zero-emissions transportation industry leader. We plan to realize this vision through world-class partnerships, groundbreaking research and development, and a revolutionary business model.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and the European Environment Agency, or EEA, the transportation industry causes an estimated 25% to 30% of U.S. and EU greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions. While heavy-duty trucking represents less than 10% of the transportation industry, it is responsible for approximately 40% of transportation industry GHG according to the International Council on Clean Transportation, or ICCT. With ever-expanding e-commerce freight demands, zero-emission vehicles are believed to be one of the only viable options for a sustainable future.

We are a technology innovator and integrator, working to develop innovative energy and transportation solutions. We are pioneering a business model that will enable corporate customers to integrate next-generation truck technology, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and related maintenance. By creating this ecosystem, we and our strategic business partners and suppliers hope to build a long-term competitive advantage for clean technology vehicles and next generation fueling solutions.

We operate in two business units: Truck and Energy. The Truck business unit is developing and commercializing battery electric vehicles, or BEV, and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEV, Class 8 trucks that provide environmentally friendly, cost-effective solutions to the short-haul, medium-haul, and long-haul trucking sector. The Energy business unit is focused on developing and constructing a hydrogen fueling ecosystem to meet hydrogen fuel demand for our FCEV and other FCEV customers. We expect that our energy unit will also work to provide BEV charging solutions for BEV customers.

We believe the key differentiator of our business model is our planned hydrogen fueling ecosystem, which includes (1) hydrogen production and/ or hydrogen procurement, (2) hydrogen distribution, and (3) hydrogen storage and dispensing. Historically, investing in alternative fuel vehicles represented a high risk for both original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and customers due to the uncertainty of the fueling infrastructure. Existing fuel providers have limited incentive to deploy the required resources and capital to develop an alternative fuel infrastructure due to a lack of known demand. The inability to tackle both sides of this equation has prohibited hydrogen from reaching its full potential to date. Our approach aims to solve this ‘‘chicken or the egg’’ problem.

For FCEV customers, we are currently planning to offer a bundled lease model, which will be inclusive of the cost of the truck, hydrogen fuel, and maintenance. We expect that our go-to-market strategy will be offering a fixed price per mile through a 7 year or 700,000 mile lease to our customers, although alternative structures may be available, especially in the early stages of the FCEV roll-out. Our bundled lease model has the potential to de-risk infrastructure development by locking in fuel demand from our dedicated route customers. This locked in demand is designed to ensure high station utilization.

We believe our hydrogen fueling ecosystem will provide a competitive advantage and help accelerate the adoption of our FCEV. We believe our product portfolio and hydrogen fueling ecosystem provide a key strategic advantage that differentiates us from competitors and will allow us to provide significant and valuable innovation to the estimated $600 billion global heavy-duty commercial vehicle and the related fueling and maintenance total addressable market, or TAM.

Market

Total Addressable Market We believe our bundled lease model, which, as currently planned, will be inclusive of the cost of the FCEV truck, fuel, and regularly scheduled maintenance, will allow us to expand our TAM significantly when compared to traditional OEMs.

Globally, the TAM, is estimated to be a $600 billion per year, with steady growth expected to continue as e-commerce and global economic growth fuel the need for more heavy-duty trucks.

Based on data provided by ACT Research, the estimated $600 billion TAM is as follows: • Global Class 8 Truck Sales Market: Approximately $118 billion ($36 billion U.S. market, $32 billion EU market, $50 billion rest of world or ROW) • Global Fueling Market: Approximately $367 billion ($63 billion U.S. market, $93 billion EU market, $211 billion ROW) • Global Service and Maintenance Market: Approximately $112 billion ($29 billion U.S. market, $26 billion EU market, $57 billion ROW)

According to ACT Research, the active Class 8 truck population is expected to grow by approximately 5.0% annually from 2019 to 2023.

Class 8 Market Segmentation Private Fleet vs. For-Hire Fleet Segmentation ACT Research segments the on-highway Class 8 freight market between private and for-hire fleets, representing 53% and 47% of the Class 8 market, respectively. According to ACT Research, private fleets, such as PepsiCo or Sysco, are almost all regular route operations or ‘‘dedicated’’ routes running point-to-point. ACT Research further breaks down the for-hire market, such as JB Hunt or XPO Logistics, into: contract 32%, spot 12%, and dedicated 3%. According to ACT Research, dedicated for-hire fleets are mostly outsourced by shippers to run point-to-point.

Length of Haul Segmentation ACT Research breaks down the Class 8 truck market by the length-of-haul. The length-of-haul refers to the distance of an outbound load and does not account for a return trip. • Short-haul less than 100 miles: applications include agricultural and drayage operations. • Medium-haul 100-250 miles: applications include private fleet distribution, less than truckload operations, and regional for-hire fleets. • Long-haul over 250 miles: applications include regular and irregular for-hire fleets and private fleet regular route operations.

E-commerce Driving Expansion of Freight Moved by Trucks According to the Freight Analysis Framework and the U.S. Department of Transportation Statistics, in 2017, approximately 40% of all freight was moved by trucks in the U.S. and that amount is expected to continue to grow. According to Eurostat, in Europe, approximately 52% of all freight in 2017 was moved by trucks. That number is expected to grow approximately 30% through 2030. According to ACT Research, globally, the active Class 8 truck population is expected to increase from 7.3 million in 2018 to 9.2 million in 2023 as emerging markets drive volume growth.

Shift to Zero-Emission Vehicles According to EPA and the EEA reports as of 2017, the transportation industry causes an estimated 25% to 30% of U.S. and European GHG emissions. While heavy-duty trucking represents less than 10% of the vehicle population, the ICCT estimates it is responsible for approximately 40% of emissions from the transportation industry, making them disproportionate contributors to pollution. Diesel vehicles are a major source of harmful air pollutants and GHG emissions. The associated local air pollution, particulates of oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter emissions, negatively impacts health and quality of life. Additionally, diesel exhaust has been classified as a potential human carcinogen by the EPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Studies done on exposure to high levels of diesel exhaust indicate a greater risk of lung cancer.

A significant share of global GHG emissions stem from heavy-duty vehicle transportation. We believe zero-emission vehicles are one of the viable options to reduce emissions in the transportation sector to meet climate, ozone, and regulatory targets. According to the U.S. Emissions Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, in 2017, U.S. GHG emissions totaled 6,457 million metric tons, or MMT, of CO2 equivalents. Medium and heavy-duty vehicles accounted for 7% of total emissions, equal to 431 MMT of CO2 equivalents. The EEA’s report on GHG in Europe found that in 2017, EU GHG emissions totaled 4,481 MMT of CO2 equivalents. Heavy-duty vehicles accounted for 5% of total emissions, equal to 224 MMT of CO2 equivalents.

A strong consensus among the largest governments calls for a global push to shift to zero-emission vehicles and the eventual elimination of internal combustion engine, or ICE, vehicles. According to the Center for Climate Protections ‘‘Survey on Global Activities to Phase Out ICE Vehicles’’ report, actions being taken by national and local governments include: • The following cities signed the C40 Fossil-Fuel-Free Streets Declaration: Electric buses by 2025, ICE vehicles banned by 2030: Athens, Auckland, Barcelona, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Heidelberg, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Milan, Mexico City, Paris, Quito, and Rome. • Additionally, Delhi, Hamburg, Oslo, Oxford, and Tokyo have all began to implement and propose plans to move towards all zero-emissions vehicles.

Countries Phasing Out ICE Vehicles (specific actions vary by country): • Austria: No new ICE vehicles sold after 2020; • China: End production and sales of ICE vehicles by 2040; • Denmark: 5,000 electric vehicles, or EVs, on the road by 2019, tax incentive in place; • France: Ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2040; • Germany: No registration of ICE vehicles by 2030 (passed by legislature); cities can ban diesel cars; • India: Target of no new ICE vehicles sold after 2030; • Ireland: No new ICE vehicles sold after 2030; Incentive program in place for EV sales; • Israel: No new ICE vehicle imports after 2030; • Japan: Incentive program in place for EV sales; • Netherlands: No new ICE vehicles sold after 2030; Phase out begins 2025; • Norway: Sell only electric and hybrid vehicles starting in 2025; • Portugal: Official target and incentive in place for EV sales; • Scotland: No new ICE vehicles sold after 2032; • South Korea: EVs account for 30% of auto sales by 2020;

• Spain: Incentive package to promote sales of alternative energy vehicles; • Sweden: Ban of new ICE vehicle sales in 2030; • Taiwan: Phase out fossil fuel-powered motorcycles by 2035 and fossil fuel-powered vehicles by 2040. Additionally, the replacement of all government vehicles and public buses with electric versions by 2030; • United Kingdom: Ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars starting in 2030

With such strong sentiment to reduce global GHG emissions from leading governments, OEMs will have to spend significant additional research and development on existing models to remain compliant in the near term, or they will face heavy fines. In Europe, there will be a mandatory 15% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2025 and a 30% reduction target by 2030. There will be a financial penalty for failure to achieve these targets. The level of the penalties is 4,250 Euros and 6,800 Euros per gCO2 / tonne-kilometre, or tkm, in 2025 and 2030, respectively. Conventional diesel technology will most likely not be able to meet the European targets set for 2025 and 2030. These ambitious CO2 targets are likely ‘‘technology-forcing’’ towards alternative powertrains such as battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell.

In early 2021, the Biden administration has established measurable steps and metrics with the purpose of limiting global climate change. Changes already enacted to accomplish this goal include re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement, an international treaty designed to reduce climate change and promising to replace the U.S. government’s existing vehicle fleet with “net zero emission” electric vehicles.

In addition to the steps already taken, we expect that the U.S. government will enact stricter vehicle emissions standards while offering incentives that drive vehicle owners and manufacturers to zero emission solutions. This market shift to clean energy transportation, backed by the Biden administration, offers a background in which we believe we are well-positioned to succeed.

In addition, consumers are increasingly demanding that corporations take action to reduce their carbon footprint. An article by Nielsen from 2018 cited that nearly half (48%) of U.S. consumers said they would ‘‘definitely’’ or ‘‘probably’’ change their consumption habits to reduce their impact on the environment, placing reducing emissions high on the agenda for large corporations. For example: • Amazon has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2040; • BP has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050; • DB Schenker plans to make its transport activities in European cities emission-free by 2030; • DHL set a goal to reduce all logistics-related emissions to zero by 2050; • UPS has committed to sourcing 40% of its ground fuel from low carbon or alternative fuels by 2025; • Walmart set a goal of an 18% emissions reduction in their own operations by 2025 and to work with suppliers to reduce emissions by 1 gigaton by 2030; and • Microsoft has committed to be carbon negative by 2030 and that by 2050 it hopes will have sequestrated enough carbon to account for all direct emissions it has ever made.

U.S. Market Policy Trends • Major shift and greater alignment on climate change policy—federal government and increasing numbers of states moving in similar policy directions (i.e., electric vehicles, infrastructure, roadmaps). • Federal government advancing aggressive executive actions to move the U.S. to transportation electrification and decarbonization; California is advancing comprehensive zero-emissions market development strategy.

• More state legislatures and regulatory agencies moving to consider transportation electrification planning and funding programs—key regions are emerging. • Hydrogen and fuel cell technology receiving increased attention as a zero-emission and low carbon fuel type, spurring hydrogen production and hydrogen marketplace discussions are emerging at national level and in multiple states. • National hydrogen coalition development—11 companies have partnered to form Hydrogen Forward—an initiative focused on advancing hydrogen development in the U.S. Founding members include—Air Liquide, Anglo American, Bloom Energy, CF Industries, Chart Industries, Cummins Inc., Hyundai, Linde, McDermott, Shell, and Toyota. • Increasing numbers of states focusing on grid modernization efforts, including energy storage targets, innovative pilot programs, advanced rate design pilots, electric grid resilience, and battery storage deployments.

Federal Policy Update—Biden Administration Executive Orders Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis • Directs federal agencies to consider revising vehicle fuel economy and emissions standards to ensure that such standards cut pollution. • Establishes an Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of GHG to account for the benefits of reducing climate pollution to address GHG.

Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, Create Jobs, and Restore Scientific Integrity Across Federal Government • Center the Climate Crisis in U.S. Foreign Policy and National Security Considerations • Take a Whole-of-Government Approach to the Climate Crisis • Leverage the Federal Government’s Footprint and Buying Power to Lead by Example • Directs the federal agencies to procure carbon pollution-free electricity and clean, zero-emission vehicles to create good-paying, union jobs and stimulate clean energy industries. • Directs federal agencies to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies as consistent with applicable law and identify new opportunities to spur innovation, commercialization, and deployment of clean energy technologies and infrastructure. • Rebuild Our Infrastructure for a Sustainable Economy • The order catalyzes the creation of jobs in construction, manufacturing, engineering, and the skilled-trades by directing steps to ensure that every federal infrastructure investment reduces climate pollution and that steps are taken to accelerate clean energy and transmission projects under federal siting and permitting processes in an environmentally sustainable manner. • Advance Conservation, Agriculture, and Reforestation • Revitalize Energy Communities • Secure Environmental Justice and Spur Economic Opportunity

Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Battery Technology Momentum With the global push to eliminate ICE vehicles, battery-electric and fuel cell technologies currently stand out as the best alternatives to diesel. Both battery costs, a key cost competent of a BEV, and electricity prices, a key cost component in hydrogen fuel production, have decreased significantly over the past decade, and prices continue to decrease. These cost reductions significantly improve the economics of BEV and FCEV trucks.

A January 2020 report published by the Hydrogen Council highlighted how policy and economic forces are converging, creating unprecedented momentum in the hydrogen sector. This momentum is buoyed by: • 66 countries having announced net zero-emissions as a target by 2050; • Approximately 80% decrease in global average renewable energy prices since 2010; and • Expected 55 times growth in electrolysis capacity by 2025 compared to 2015.

Zero-Emission Vehicles Enabled by Significant Reduction in Battery Cost and Renewable Electricity Prices The majority of the cost of production of a BEV truck, and a major cost component of a FCEV truck, lie in the cost of the battery. As illustrated in a 2019 report by Bloomberg NEF, from 2010 to 2018, lithium-ion battery prices have fallen from $1,160 per kilowatt-hour, or kWh, to $176 per kWh, representing an 85% cost reduction. As investment in battery technology continues to increase as a result of OEMs allocating more capital to next- generation powertrain technology, this trend in battery cost reduction is expected to continue. Conversely, vehicles that run on lithium-ion battery- electric power can experience battery capacity and performance loss over time, depending on the use and age of the battery.

For hydrogen production, we expect electricity costs to account for approximately 75% to 85% of the total cost. Per Lazard’s November 2019 Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis, the cost of producing renewable energy has dropped significantly since 2009. In 2009, the global average solar and wind levelized cost of energy was $359 per megawatt-hour, or MWh, and $135 per MWh, respectively. In 2019, these costs were $40 per MWh for solar and $41 per MWh for wind, representing a cost reduction of 89% and 70%, respectively.

Renewable energy prices are expected to continue to fall as production capacity is set to expand by 50% between 2019 to 2024. This trend will further reduce renewable energy prices, which will drive the cost of hydrogen production even lower.

According to Wood Mackenzie, in the U.S., the world’s second-largest solar market, power purchase agreements, or PPAs, are now trending between $20 to $30 per MWh, and on a global scale, prices have been observed as low as $17 per MWh. Lower solar energy production cost is expected to allow us to produce renewable hydrogen at a cost that is competitive with existing diesel solutions.

Industry Focused on TCO In the highly competitive trucking industry, when choosing between truck models that meet their technical and safety requirements, customers mainly base their purchasing decision on total cost of ownership, or TCO. TCO is the total cost of owning the truck through its lifecycle, including lease cost or purchase payment, fuel cost, service, and maintenance. According to ACT Research, traditionally, TCO for diesel trucks (excluding driver wages, benefits, and insurance), is typically broken down into cost of fuel (approximately 50%), purchase or lease payments on truck (approximately 22%), and repairs and maintenance (approximately 28%).

According to ACT Research, historically, diesel fuel comprises 40% to 60% of TCO, depending on prevailing diesel fuel prices. With the incumbent ICE technology, fleet operators are also forced to accept volatility in their largest cost component, creating risk and uncertainty. We expect that our bundled lease model will provide customers TCO clarity for the first time in the industry’s history.

Industry and Competition Competition in the Class 8 heavy-duty truck industry is intense and new regulatory requirements for vehicle emissions, technological advances, and shifting customer demands are causing the industry to evolve towards

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents zero-emission solutions. We believe the primary competitive factors in the Class 8 market include, but are not limited to: • vehicle safety; • total cost of ownership (TCO); • product performance and uptime; • availability of charging or re-fueling network; • emissions profile; • vehicle quality and reliability; • technological innovation; • improved vehicle operational visibility; • ease of autonomous capability development; and • service options.

Similar to traditional OEMs in the passenger vehicle market, incumbent commercial transportation OEMs are burdened with legacy systems and the need to generate sufficient return on existing infrastructure, which historically created a reluctance to embrace new zero-emission drivetrain technology. This reluctance created an opportunity for us.

However, we believe the global push for lower emissions combined with vast technological improvements in fuel cell and battery-electric powertrain technologies has awakened well-established OEMs to begin investing in zero-emission vehicle platforms.

BEV Competition Tesla, Daimler, Volvo, as well as other automotive manufactures, have announced their plans to bring Class 8 BEV trucks to the market over the coming years. Tesla announced its concept vehicle, the Tesla Semi, in November 2017. Daimler announced its plans for the eCascadia, which is the electric version of their flagship Freightliner Cascadia, in June 2018. Volvo announced plans to commercialize its BEV heavy-duty truck, the VNR Electric, in December 2018. Other competitors include BYD, who we believe is currently selling Class 8 BEV trucks, Peterbilt, XOS, Lion, Volvo, Hyliion, and potentially Cummins. We believe all of these competitors are in various stages of rolling out their vehicles, including pilot programs and providing test vehicles to customers.

FCEV Competition Due to higher barriers to entry, there are fewer competitors in the FCEV Class 8 market. However, Hyundai and Toyota have chosen to focus their efforts on FCEV as the powertrain of the future. Hyundai intends to enter the European market for heavy-duty vehicles with their FCEV truck, the Hyundai Xcient. In addition, others such as Hyundai have announced they plan to offer FCEV trucks and invest in hydrogen stations for refueling. Toyota is collaborating with Kenworth, an American manufacturer for medium and heavy-duty trucks, to jointly develop an FCEV heavy-duty truck, and Daimler and Volvo recently announced a proposed joint venture to develop fuel cell systems for heavy-duty trucks. Other potential competitors include Navistar, Hino and Hyzon.

Competitors in Context Most of our current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, and other resources than we do. They may be able to deploy greater resources to the design, development,

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sales, marketing and support of their BEV and FCEV truck programs. Additionally, many of our competitors also have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, larger sales forces, broader customer and industry relationships, and greater resources than we do.

Although our competitors may have certain advantages we do not possess, we believe we are positioned to compete favorably. Although we do not have the same name recognition, or operating history as most of our competition, we are free from the burden of legacy infrastructure and design. We believe we have the benefit of a head start and the advantage of beginning from a blank slate, which is critical when introducing new technology.

Products As the commercial transportation sector transitions towards zero-emission solutions, we believe there will be a need to offer tailored solutions that meet the needs of each customer. Unlike the passenger vehicle market, where users typically return home each day, the commercial vehicle market contains multiple use cases often requiring vehicles to be out on the road for days, or weeks at a time. By offering both BEV (for short and medium- haul, city, regional, and drayage deliveries) and FCEV (for medium and long-haul) solutions, we believe we are positioned to disrupt the commercial transportation sector by providing solutions that address the full range of customer needs.

The electrical propulsion of our BEV and FCEV trucks has a modular design which allows the batteries and associated controls to be configured to either a BEV or FCEV propulsion. Our architecture inside the centralized e-axle is configured for the appropriate power needs for the BEV and FCEV for a wide range of applications. Our cab-over design allows us to address both the European and North American markets, which provides engineering and manufacturing synergies.

We have developed a portfolio of proprietary electrified architectures and associated technologies that are embedded and integrated into our BEV and FCEV vehicles. Our principal vehicle offerings include:

Nikola’s Class 8 BEV—Nikola Tre

The Nikola Tre Class 8 truck is based on the S-WAY platform from Iveco and integrates our electrified propulsion, technology, controls and infotainment. In addition, we redesigned the majority of the high-visibility components and body panels of the S-WAY truck, and added several new interior features including a digital cockpit with an infotainment screen, instrument screen and panel, redesigned steering wheel, and new seats. The cab-over design is desirable for city center applications due to shorter vehicle length, improved maneuverability, and better visibility. We plan to market the Nikola Tre BEV for short and medium-haul applications in North America and Europe.

We expect that the BEV version of Nikola Tre will be the first to market, addressing the near-term market opportunity as this version does not require a roll-out of charging infrastructure. BEVs run on a fully electric drivetrain powered by rechargeable batteries. Our BEV has an estimated range of 250 to 350 miles and is designed to address the short and medium-haul market. During the initial roll-out, customers will be responsible for their own charging needs.

Sales of the Nikola Tre BEV are currently expected to begin in late 2021 in North America.

Nikola’s Class 8 FCEV’s—Nikola Tre and Nikola Two

FCEVs use fuel cells on-board to convert hydrogen into electricity to power the electric motors, which transmit power to the wheels. The fuel cell generates electricity through a chemical reaction, supplied from on-board tanks, and oxygen from the atmosphere. A much smaller battery (compared to our BEV) provides supplemental power to the drivetrain, and stores energy recovered during regenerative braking. The voltage and charge of the battery are maintained through a combination of power supplied from the fuel cell and energy captured through regenerative braking.

In North America, we plan to develop and launch two FCEV truck platforms.

The Nikola Tre FCEV is targeted for medium and long-haul missions ranging from 300 to 500 miles per day. Its scalable architecture is expected to handle the majority of the North American day-cab market. The Tre FCEV leverages the Tre BEV platform with modifications for hydrogen fuel cell operation, improved aerodynamics, and lightweighting. The Nikola Tre FCEV is currently expected to launch in 2023.

The Nikola Two Sleeper Cab is targeted for long-haul missions with an operational range up to approximately 900 miles. This configuration allows for longer operation between fueling and is specifically designed for long-haul applications and extended highway operation. The Nikola Two FCEV is currently expected to launch in the second half of 2024.

We expect that in the longer term, as autonomous technologies relieve hours of service restrictions, FCEVs will be an ideal option for longer continuous hauls.

Our FCEVs are designed to allow us to address the longer-term opportunity by combining our fuel cell technology and a network of hydrogen stations across North America.

Hydrogen Fueling Ecosystem Overview We are developing a hydrogen fueling ecosystem and charging stations in North America and Europe to support our BEV and FCEV customers and to help capture first mover advantage with respect to next generation fueling infrastructure. We plan to seek partners throughout the hydrogen ecosystem to help increase speed to market and reduce capital expenditures related to next generation fueling infrastructure.

We view the hydrogen fueling ecosystem in three main segments: (1) hydrogen production/procurement, (2) hydrogen distribution, and (3) hydrogen storage and dispensing, each with the potential to generate separate margins for us and our hydrogen ecosystem partners.

Hydrogen Production/Procurement We expect to source hydrogen by leveraging multiple hydrogen production models including on-site production, large-scale “hub” production, or other alternative hydrogen production/procurement. We expect the hydrogen solution utilized will depend on the unique characteristics near each potential station location.

We intend to produce or procure the lowest carbon content hydrogen available while also ensuring a hydrogen supply that is safe, reliable, and economical. In certain cases where electricity can be procured in a cost-effective manner, we plan to produce hydrogen fuel on-site, via electrolysis. In other cases, we expect hydrogen fuel will be produced off-site at a large-scale production “hub” and distributed to nearby fueling stations under a supply “hub and spoke” structure. When on-site or hub-and-spoke production is used, the electricity input for hydrogen fuel production is expected to be purchased via long-term supply agreements.

Where practical, we and our partners may also source hydrogen via alternative methods, including third-party purchases, liquefaction, steam- methane-reformation with carbon capture.

Hydrogen Distribution We expect hydrogen distribution will play a key role in the hydrogen fueling ecosystem when on-site hydrogen production is not utilized. We intend to collaborate with strategic partners or develop distribution capabilities to enhance value through the hydrogen fueling ecosystem. The hydrogen distribution network can include over-the-road, rail, or distribution via existing pipeline infrastructure. We and our partners will likely leverage multiple hydrogen distribution models to ensure efficient hydrogen distribution throughout the ecosystem.

Hydrogen Dispensing and Storage We intend to collaborate with strategic partners and to develop hydrogen storage and dispensing stations. Each dispensing site is expected to contain ample on-site hydrogen storage and to be capable of dispensing up to 8,000 kgs of hydrogen per day. Depending on the amount of land available at the dispensing site, the hydrogen storage and dispensing can be scaled up in increments of 8,000 kgs, as needed. Each 8,000 kg per day dispensing station could support approximately 200 FCEV trucks per day.

Our base stations are expected to contain at least eight heavy-duty (for commercial trucks) and up to four light-duty (for vehicles) hydrogen fueling dispensers. We also plan to install electric fast charging to support BEV trucks.

We plan to design each fueling and charging station to maximize the utilization and to generate future revenue and cash flow, which may be used to fund the development of future stations.

Test Station Installed at Nikola’s Phoenix HQ Through our partnership with Nel ASA, a Norwegian hydrogen company, or Nel, we have initiated the development of the hydrogen station infrastructure by completing our 1,000 kg demo station, which is capable of fueling up to 875 bar, or approximately 1 kg, per minute at our corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. The technology we use at this station is currently utilized for non-commercial applications. The demo station provides our engineers with the ability to test the fueling systems for our future FCEV trucks as well as fueling the two prototype Nikola Two FCEV trucks that are used for testing operations and demonstrations. We have gathered substantial data from this station, including fueling station operations in hot ambient temperatures, station permitting and construction, onsite storage pressurization, and station and systems operations. The demo station is utilized on an ad-hoc basis, and we believe it will provide us with the experience we will need to troubleshoot and improve on our larger commercial stations.

Overall Fueling Station Rollout Strategy Given the anticipated minimum range of up to 500 miles for our FCEV trucks and our desire to rapidly expand hydrogen fueling infrastructure across North America to promote the decarbonization of the freight industry, we are conceptually planning on deploying fueling stations at intervals of no more than 250 miles apart to accommodate less efficient driving styles, heavy payloads, climbing steep grades, and local travel within a metropolitan area. We plan to locate our stations to coincide with the greatest volumes of existing truck traffic, existing population centers and freight hubs, major freeway intersections, and available incentives. We envision our early station rollout as seeking to cover as broad of a geographic range as possible across the freight routes that are likely to see the greatest volumes of FCEV adoption.

Following deployment of a broad fueling station network, we envision increasing the density of the fueling station locations based upon customer demand for fuel and satisfying the needs of secondary routes within the network.

First Stations to Support Customers with Dedicated Routes Initially, we expect to build our fueling and charging stations to support carefully selected fleet customers who have dedicated routes along major interstate corridors. For example, we have partnered with Anheuser-Busch, LLC, or AB, as a launch customer because they have dedicated freight routes between their twelve breweries and six distribution centers. We plan to build stations in Southern California and in Phoenix, Arizona to support AB’s freight movements along Interstate 10 from their brewery in Van Nuys, California to their distribution center in Chandler, Arizona.

On April 22, 2021, Nikola and Travel Centers of America, or TA, announced an agreement to collaborate on the installation of heavy-duty hydrogen fueling stations, subject to execution of definitive agreements. The agreement includes the development of two stations with the option to expand nationwide.

The first two stations are planned to be constructed at existing TA-Petro locations in California and are targeted to be commercially operational by the first quarter of 2023. These stations are expected to accelerate adoption of hydrogen fuel-cell-powered commercial electric trucks. Paired with the expected 500-mile range of the previously-announced Nikola Tre fuel-cell electric vehicle, the launch stations are expected to enable operations of next generation fueling technology in and around the greater Los Angeles region and north through California’s Central Valley.

The two hydrogen fueling stations under consideration for development by Nikola and TA-Petro are expected to provide for an open fueling network available to any truck customer, and we intend to follow a common industry standard for heavy-duty fueling protocols, ensuring compatibility across all hydrogen fuel-cell truck manufacturers.

California Hydrogen Station Strategy In addition to the first two launch stations mentioned above, our plan is to build up to approximately eight additional stations in California. We expect these stations will supply fuel for our launch customers in those geographies that have dedicated routes in California. California is offering incentives to build out our hydrogen fueling infrastructure, including opportunities for funding along major freeway corridors. We currently expect to begin securing sites in 2021 and then to proceed to build in phases to support customer demand.

After the California station build-out, we plan to strategically target other states offering incentives.

Single-Station Dedicated Route Strategy After maximizing incentives offered by states, our strategy is to build hydrogen fueling stations along dedicated routes according to the needs of strategically selected customers. We anticipate the need for up to 700 stations in North America. This overall strategy is designed to enable a capital- efficient roll-out of hydrogen stations, ensuring high utilization and predictability of demand, while allowing us to also sell hydrogen to third-party purchasers.

The layout and freight movement along our interstate system provides ample opportunities to expand our hydrogen station network in the U.S., as road freight is concentrated along the relatively few and significant corridors that form the National Highway Freight Network.

European Station Network Strategy We expect to build a European hydrogen station network following a similar strategy. Several highly trafficked freight corridors exist in Europe, with logistics hubs in proximity to consumption centers, freight ports, and corridor crossroads. We plan to strategically deploy hydrogen stations along the key corridors and logistical hubs to maximize the efficiency of station deployment. We expect that our ultimate station roll-out strategy and timing will also consider potential local incentives offered in Europe to ensure the most economically favorable station roll-out. We believe that a network of 70 to 90 hydrogen stations will provide approximately 85% coverage of Western European freight corridors.

On April 14, 2021, Nikola and Iveco announced a hydrogen fueling infrastructure collaboration with OGE Energy Corp., or OGE, one of Europe’s leading pipeline operators, subject to execution of definitive agreements. OGE owns and operates approximately 12,000 kilometers of natural gas pipeline infrastructure in Germany. This collaboration is expected to enable cost-effective distribution of hydrogen from production to storage and fueling locations in Germany. This collaboration has the potential to accelerate the hydrogen economy in Europe by providing an efficient hydrogen distribution network within OGE’s service area.

Power Sourcing Strategy, and Over Time, 100% Zero-Emission Goal, if Feasible During our initial hydrogen station roll-out, we intend to source power based on the most economical power mix available at each hydrogen production site, including power from the grid that is sourced from non-renewable sources. Over time, our goal is to support each fueling station with 100% zero-emission power whenever feasible.

Our energy business unit has established what we believe is a strong team with deep energy industry experience, to provide focus and expertise in the key areas required to establish a comprehensive, low cost, safe, reliable, and efficient hydrogen delivery system to our customers.

In January 2021, we secured approval of an innovative electricity rate schedule with Arizona Public Service Company, or APS, which accelerates our goal to develop and provide hydrogen fuel at price parity with diesel to the commercial transportation industry. By facilitating low-cost production of hydrogen, the Arizona Corporation Commission’s approval of this rate schedule paves the way for the curtailment of GHG in the transportation sector, while also providing benefits to key constituents via novel grid-balancing solutions.

We believe APS’s competitive electric rate will help lead the creation of the hydrogen economy in Arizona. We estimate that under the rate structure, we will be able to deliver hydrogen at market leading prices and within the ranges required for us to offer competitive lease rates for our trucks customers.

Additionally, the rate structure with APS could be utilized to support both on-site production and hub-and-spoke production models within the APS service territory. A large-scale production “hub” within the service territory would be ideally suited to serve dispensing stations located in Southern California.

Playing a Key Role in The Future of Energy Generation and Storage We believe that the steady off-peak demand load of our hydrogen stations, and our ability to have our power supply temporarily interrupted during peak power demand, will make us an attractive customer for utilities, grid operators and other power providers. Our station model can also provide us with the advantage of being able to take excess power generated during periods of low power demand. Given this power demand profile and our ability to help optimize the energy grid, we believe we will have the opportunity to source power at prices below prevailing market rates.

Given our ability to level out demand and store night-time and other off-peak energy that might otherwise go unused, we believe our hydrogen strategy will provide critical solutions to the future of electric energy generation, transmission, and storage and help usher in the next generation of power supply.

Service, Maintenance, and Parts Our proposed bundled lease model includes the required maintenance and parts for our Class 8 vehicles. Service and maintenance of an electric vehicle is expected to be lower than the traditional ICE vehicle which has been proven thus far in the electric passenger vehicle market as well as in early development of Class 7 and 8 trucks. We believe that fewer moving parts, no emissions compliance requirements and considerably reduced complexity of certain key drivetrain components in our trucks should result in fewer breakdowns and less preventative maintenance. We anticipate that these factors should lead to better uptime, lower costs for operators, and positive feedback from drivers. We expect the asset utilization, productivity, and reduced downtime should favorably impact fleet operating margins.

A key requirement for our fleet customers is knowing there is an available service infrastructure for the maintenance, repair, and availability of parts for our vehicles. We are building a strong network of maintenance providers, a robust preventative maintenance program, as well as several levels of service to support fleet complexity, application, and duty cycles.

We have assembled what we believe is a nimble and adaptable service, maintenance, and parts solutions for our vehicles, which is expected to include the following options: • Electric vehicles have a system of sensors and controls that allow for precise monitoring of the vehicle and component operation performance. We intend to use this data to provide smart predictive maintenance, which will decrease downtime and costs by identifying a potential problem before it results in a breakdown. Preventative maintenance will be customized to match duty cycle and fleet applications. • We plan to have the ability to provide over the air updates and software fixes when the vehicles are stopped. This can significantly reduce the time for repair, improve uptime, and continually monitor performance, efficiency, and overall utilization. • In cases where a customer has their own maintenance expertise and infrastructure, we plan to identify and provide certification of technicians and procedures for items that can be maintained at their shops. This could include procedures such as tire changes, wearable parts, chassis, and brake services. • In cases where the customer does not have a maintenance infrastructure or for more complex items, we plan to utilize a dealer network for maintenance and warranty work. The network will monitor day to day trip activity and incorporate support at the origin and destination for our truck routes. We also intend to support our partners with the latest diagnostic technologies like augmented reality and web-enabled video to support technicians for complex tasks or newly identified issues. • If a vehicle requires maintenance of a complex system or component such as the fuel cell, e-axle, or battery-pack, some of those items can be removed and replaced with limited downtime. This should allow us to repair the downed component in the background and minimize vehicle downtime. We are also planning to develop a network of trained technicians that can travel to a customer or service partner as necessary. We also expect to have dedicated vendor agreements to service and maintain a specific fleet on premises or very close in proximity to the truck’s domicile location. • Additionally, we will procure replacement parts, components, and all aftermarket support supplies. These components and materials will be inventoried, warehoused and distributed by third party logistic providers currently engaged in supplying the Class 8 truck industry.

In addition, on April 8, 2021, Nikola and RIG360 Service Network, or RIG360, announced a sales and service dealer network spanning more than 65 service center locations. RIG360 service centers are located in key metropolitan areas and at major intersections of the interstate highway system throughout the southeast, northeast, and midwestern regions. The agreement, once finalized, is expected to provide a service and maintenance network covering an expansive geographic area and a reputable sales channel for our customers. The dealer network includes a company for which our director, DeWitt C. Thompson, V, serves as Chief Executive Officer.

Customers and Reservations Target Customers We target large Class 8 fleet customers with established sustainability goals, as well as fleets operating along dedicated routes that are located in regions offering strong incentives for developing hydrogen infrastructure and/or delivering zero-emission vehicles.

BEV Customer Strategy The BEV truck is designed for short and medium-haul applications, making it ideal for urban metro, inner-city, local delivery, port operations, and drayage applications. Our goal is to first target large corporate customers to establish early market share and strengthen brand identity.

For BEVs, we expect that some early U.S. sales will be in states such as California or New York where incentive programs already exist.

FCEV Customer Strategy For the FCEV truck, we are planning to develop and construct initial hydrogen stations in Arizona and California. Therefore, early customers will likely be located in these states, or have extensive transportation routes within or between them.

We also intend to target dedicated fleets with either nationwide or significant regional distribution networks and dedicated route networks (i.e., where trucks operate between two fixed points, e.g., production plant and distribution hub) along highly trafficked freight corridors. This strategy allows for gradual, strategic, and capital-efficient development of the hydrogen infrastructure required to support FCEV trucks in operation. We intend to expand the FCEV offering to the entire Class 8 truck market once the fueling infrastructure is sufficiently developed.

Customer Reservations Our FCEV reservation book was frozen in late 2019, in order for us to focus on negotiating with strategic fleet partners to convert reservations to binding contracts. At that time, our list of non-binding cancelable reservations potentially represented more than two years of production. This list included reservations from individuals or small fleets with orders of 100 trucks or less, which represent approximately 47% of our total FCEV reservations. These individuals or small fleets may not receive FCEVs until the density of the hydrogen station network is sufficient for their re-fueling needs, which may not occur until approximately 2030 or later.

We intend to convert existing reservations into binding orders once we have fixed production dates for FCEV trucks. We anticipate requiring a significant deposit to secure binding orders at least six months prior to delivery.

We are working to select our initial BEV customers strategically and are in dialogue with several customers. We expect to select one or two launch customers to participate in fleet testing and the initial production of the BEV truck.

On May 6, 2021, we announced a letter of intent with Total Transportation Services, one of Southern California’s prominent port trucking companies, to expedite zero-emission transportation at the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach. The collaboration includes vehicle trials and a letter of intent to order 100 Nikola Class 8 BEV and FCEV trucks, subject to execution of definitive agreements.

First Ever Zero-Emission Beer Run In November 2019, we completed AB’s first ever zero-emissions beer-run. The Nikola Two prototype FCEV delivered six pallets of Bud Light weighing approximately 15,000 pounds. The total load hauled, including the trailer, was approximately 27,000 pounds. The delivery was made on city streets where the beer was delivered to one of AB’s distributors. The distributor then delivered the beer to the St. Louis Blues arena for consumption at that night’s game.

Partnerships and Suppliers We believe that our business model is validated and supported by world-class strategic partnerships that significantly reduce execution risk, improve commercialization timeline, and provide a long-term competitive advantage. These world-class partners have accelerated our internal development, growth, and learning and have positioned us to revolutionize the transportation sector. We believe our partnerships help increase the depth and breadth of our competitive advantage as well.

Our partnership philosophy is a recognition that the world’s toughest challenges require bold solutions and a collaborative effort from multiple parties. Our goal is to provide zero-emission solutions to the transportation sector and to usher in next-generation grid solutions. With the help of our partners, we believe our chances of success are greatly improved. We are inspired by the knowledge that if we are successful, the whole world wins.

The following is a list of the partners who have chosen to embark upon this journey with us. With their help, we plan to drive out emissions from the transportation sector.

Co-Development Partners Iveco Iveco is a subsidiary of CNH Industrial, which designs, manufactures and distributes under the Iveco brand a wide range of light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles and off-road trucks with over 163,000 units and 146,000 units sold in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Iveco with its affiliates and joint ventures has significant manufacturing presence in Europe, as well as production facilities in Asia, Africa and Latin America, where it produces vehicles equipped with the latest technologies. Iveco can provide technical support in close proximity to their customers, the world over. Iveco is the European market leader in CNG/LNG alternative propulsion technologies for trucks.

Manufacturing and Production Leveraging Iveco’s Capacity for Initial Units We plan to produce and sell BEV and FCEV trucks in North America and Europe. Our joint venture with Iveco provides us with manufacturing capacity to build trucks for the North American market before the completion of our manufacturing plant in Coolidge, Arizona. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we made significant progress at our joint venture manufacturing facility on Iveco’s campus in Ulm, Germany. The building dismantling and building refurbishment, including the civil works (floor, heating, system, and walls), have been completed. The assembly and installation of the customized Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems, or AGVs has begun. The crane and subgroup infrastructure has also been installed and completed. The logistics warehouse, internal logistics, end of line, finishing, enterprise resource planning system implementation, and the ordering and installation of tools and equipment are all on pace for completion by the end of May 2021, with trial production set to begin in June 2021.

We have also completed assembling the first five BEV prototype trucks at the Ulm, Germany facility and expect to assemble the next nine in the first half of 2021. In the second half of 2021, we expect to begin production of the BEV truck for North America delivery at the joint venture manufacturing facility. These first trucks will be imported into North America to fulfill launch customer orders. We also plan to build both the BEV and FCEV trucks for the European market in Iveco’s Ulm, Germany facility.

U.S. Production Facility In 2019, we acquired an approximately 400-acre parcel of real property in Coolidge, Arizona, which is located about 50 miles south of Phoenix, Arizona. We believe the parcel is well suited for our planned greenfield manufacturing facility due to its proximity to the Interstate 10 highway, the Interstate 8 highway, and a railway spur that abuts the parcel.

In July 2020, we broke ground on phase one of the U.S. manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona. In a benchmark example of cooperation and collaboration between us, the City of Coolidge, Pinal County, and our general contractor, Walbridge, the facility’s master site plan has been completed, submitted, and approved by the City of Coolidge. Currently, the construction of the assembly shop is on track to be completed towards the end of 2021.

Based on our current rate of construction, we have decided to advance our truck build plan and have scheduled production trials starting second half of 2021. The full completion of the assembly shop is planned to continue through 2021, followed by a ramp up to a full production volume.

In January 2021, we entered into a master utility agreement with Global Water Resources, Inc., a pure-play water resource management company, to provide water and wastewater services to our manufacturing plant in Coolidge, Arizona. This agreement helps with our goal of creating the smallest environmental footprint possible in the design and construction of our manufacturing site. The engagement of Global Water reflects a shared commitment to a sustainable future for Arizona and beyond.

Our production targets include:

Phase 1—Low Volume Production—up to 5,000 units per year: • Warehouse space (approximately 100,000—150,000 square feet) • Low-volume production capacity (approximately 5,000 units per year) • Trial production to begin in the second half of 2021 • Expect to complete construction by the end of 2021

• Expect commissioning and start-up with the BEV truck in production in the first quarter of 2022

Phase 2—High Volume Production—up to 30,000 units per year: • Expect to begin construction in early-2022 • Expect to complete manufacturing facility • High-volume production capacity (approximately 30,000 units per year) • Expect to complete construction by the end of 2022 • Expect commissioning and start-up with Nikola Tre FCEV in production in the second half of 2023 and Nikola Two FCEV in late 2024

In addition, phase 3 of construction is expected to begin in early 2023 and be completed by the end of 2023.

European Production We expect to utilize Iveco’s excess capacity for the foreseeable future, giving us the ability to produce 10,000 units per year. The joint venture may seek to build a greenfield manufacturing facility, once we have sufficient hydrogen station network density in Europe to facilitate sales over 10,000 units per year. We anticipate national and local grants and loan support may be available to help fund a greenfield development in Europe.

Development Timeline The development timeline for our trucks has accelerated upon entering a production alliance with Iveco. This partnership provides us the benefit of leveraging Iveco’s expertise, and the Class 8 S-WAY truck platform in the design, development, testing and validation of the BEV truck. By focusing initial development efforts on the BEV truck, we were able to accelerate our go-to-market strategy by approximately 1-2 years.

Key milestones in the commercialization of the Nikola Tre FCEV (Europe) is as follows: • Nikola Tre FCEV start of production at Iveco’s facility in Ulm, Germany for sale into the European market in 2024

Strategy

Management Team Focused on Execution and Efficient Capital Allocation Given the capital-intensive nature of our business model, we believe that efficient capital allocation will be an important determinant of our long- term success. We believe our disciplined and creative approach to optimize capital allocation will allow us to execute on our ambitious business plan.

Capital optimization measures include: • Our strategic partnerships with world-class automotive suppliers to develop leading next-generation powertrain technology. Our ability to leverage expertise from OEM and top-tier supplier brands has allowed us to accelerate the production of our product portfolio while decreasing development costs. Our joint venture with Iveco allows us to manufacture trucks, gain market share, and start generating revenue prior to building a greenfield manufacturing facility by utilizing Iveco’s excess capacity. • Our multi-phased approach to building our greenfield production plant in the U.S., which we expect will allow us to produce up to approximately 5,000 units a year and generate revenue one full year before the completion of our fully scaled manufacturing facility. • Our hydrogen fueling ecosystem, partnership approach and hydrogen station roll-out plans, which we expect will allow us to build stations in coordination with FCEV truck deliveries. We believe these plans can reduce the amount of outside capital needed during the buildout of our hydrogen station network.

Capture Early Mover Advantage Given the speed at which the BEV and FCEV truck market is transforming, we have accelerated the production of our BEV truck to be early to market and we expect to generate revenue by late 2021. By being one of the first movers in the North American market, we expect to capture customers and any applicable zero-emission vehicle related incentives, including incentives available to those that are early adopters of BEV technology.

Maintain Strategic Partnership Focus to Drive Execution Our position as a pioneer in the market has attracted global leaders across our supply chain, creating an extensive network for us to leverage. Our key partners include Iveco, Bosch, Romeo, WABCO, EDAG, Mahle, Nel, Hanwha, and others. We believe the expertise and know-how of these partners broaden our executional capability, reduce time to market, and solidify our technological leadership. In addition, these leading suppliers and partners will also allow us to manufacture and deliver our products with high quality standards. For example, our partnership with Iveco provides us with flexibility, scalability, and speed to market, while product design, supply chain management, and quality control are managed by our engineering team. Additionally, this partnership has allowed us to enter the European market in a capital efficient manner and years earlier than we originally anticipated. By entering into strategic partnerships, we believe we can reduce execution risk and increase speed to market, which provides a critical advantage as we look to execute upon our vision.

Leverage Hydrogen Station Dynamics to Transition Energy Future We believe that the hydrogen station network and the production and distribution of hydrogen will provide a competitive advantage that drives sustained profitability and stockholder value over the long term. We believe that hydrogen-powered Class 8 trucks will be the product of choice in the medium- and long-haul markets. As OEMs begin to widely adopt hydrogen fuel cell technology, there will be a greater need for hydrogen distribution along key transportation routes, and we expect to be in a strong position to be the leading provider of hydrogen to commercial transportation companies. By enabling the world’s leading heavy-duty hydrogen station network, we anticipate playing a major role in the energy transformation of the future.

Continued Focus on Technological Innovations We intend to continue to attract top talent to further enhance our talent pool and drive technological innovations. Additionally, we plan to further enhance our battery and fuel cell related technology to achieve better performance and shorten charging and fueling time, while increasing the range of our product portfolio.

Future Market Opportunities Autonomous Driving Our trucks can be designed with autonomous driving in mind, which may provide revenue to us in the future as well as potential cost savings to customers. Given the nature of our dedicated route customers, operating point-to-point interstate routes between our hydrogen stations, we believe our trucks provide the perfect testing environment for further development and advancement of autonomous technology. When the various regulatory agencies have approved some level of autonomy, we will consider a partnership with one of the autonomous software leaders to deploy its technology on our vehicles.

Autonomous driving represents significant incremental revenue opportunities for us as we could charge customers an additional fee for each mile driven autonomously. According to the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association, in the U.S., truck drivers face total hours restrictions that do not allow them to operate their vehicles more than 11 hours a day. In Europe, drivers are generally restricted to 9 hours a day, according to the European Parliament. Autonomous driving will help achieve higher utilization by removing the limitations on how long a truck driver can operate.

In addition to the incremental revenue opportunity for us and the potential cost savings available to fleet operators as a result of autonomous technology, we believe autonomy will significantly improve safety and asset utilization which would increase the revenue generating potential for both us and our customers.

Energy Optimization The global energy mix is in transition with more than 60% of new capacity coming from renewable energy sources, based on the Global Market Outlook for Solar Power provided by SolarPower Europe. The transition away from fossil fuel-based energy generation, such as coal or natural gas, is beneficial to the environment, but is not without its challenges. As renewable energy makes up a greater share of the energy mix, daily energy production becomes more volatile, and the energy production curve becomes less predictable.

With fossil-fuel based energy, demand peaks are typically addressed by burning natural gas in turbine-based power plants. With certain types of renewable energy, one does not have similar control over energy production, and instead the production curve is determined based on the daily solar cycle and weather patterns, which means daily energy production becomes more volatile. This increased volatility creates a distorted energy production curve, resulting in both predictable (e.g., the sun comes out every day) and unpredictable (e.g., the wind blows

This surplus energy typically goes unused, and in extreme cases must be traded away at zero or even negative revenue to the utility provider.

Hydrogen production can be used to balance the grid by taking excess energy production and storing it for future use. We believe we can also help balance the grid by allowing utilities and power providers to interrupt hydrogen station electricity consumption during peak demand. Our ability to turn excess energy into hydrogen may offer operators and energy providers the ability to increase revenue by selling us otherwise wasted off-peak generating capacity. Additionally, the ability to store unused energy in the form of hydrogen reduces the need for peak power generating plants that are typically costly to build and operate, and that historically are heavily underutilized. Instead, we could potentially build excess hydrogen storage on-site, then sell excess hydrogen back to the grid during periods of peak demand.

Sales and Marketing We take an insight-driven, strategic approach to our go-to-market strategy. Across the product portfolio, we are commissioning studies, conducting focus groups and gaining insight intended to focus sales and marketing efforts in a customer and partner-centric way and grounded on a foundation of zero-emissions. Our primary brand awareness is generated through traditional and social media.

Research and Development Our research and development activities take place out of our headquarters facility in Phoenix, Arizona and at our development partners’ facilities located around the world.

The primary areas of focus for research and development by us and our partners include, but are not limited to: • fuel cell; • battery pack and battery management systems, or BMS; • vehicle controls; • infotainment; • e-axle and inverter; • functional safety; • energy storage; and • hydrogen production, storage, and dispensing.

Most of our current activities are focused on the research and development of our BEV and FCEV trucks. We work closely with our partners, including without limitation, Iveco and Bosch to develop truck platforms and bring them to market.

We have purchased equipment that will aid in the development, validation and testing of our powertrain, battery and fuel cell related technology. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development activities to expand our product offering for both the North American and the European markets.

Intellectual Property Our success depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. We protect our intellectual property rights, both in the U.S. and abroad, through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection, as well as confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants. We seek to control access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information through non-disclosure agreements with our vendors and business partners. Unpatented research, development, know-how, and engineering skills make a vital contribution to our business, and we pursue patent protection when we believe it is possible and consistent with our overall strategy for safeguarding intellectual property.

As of March 31, 2021, we own or co-own approximately 23 issued U.S. utility patents, 10 issued U.S. design patents, 16 issued foreign patents and 45 pending or allowed foreign and U.S. patent applications. In addition, we have approximately 2 registered U.S. trademarks, 18 registered foreign trademarks, 30 pending U.S. trademark applications, and 12 pending foreign trademark applications. Our patents and patent applications are directed to, among other things, vehicle and vehicle powertrain (including battery and fuel cell technology), hydrogen fueling, off-road vehicle, and personal watercraft technologies.

Headquarters and R&D Facility In June 2019, we moved into our headquarters and R&D facility in Phoenix, Arizona, which consists of more than 150,000 square feet.

Our People Overview Our strategy requires the development and integration of advanced technologies and their successful commercialization in North America and in Europe. Execution of this strategy depends on our ability to attract, develop and retain key employees and members of our management team. The skills, experience and knowledge of our employees equip us to achieve our operational and strategic objectives.

Governance Our board of directors and its compensation committee oversee our workforce policies, programs and initiatives. As noted in its charter, our compensation committee is responsible for periodically reviewing and approving employee programs and initiatives, including retention and succession strategies, which ensures that our board of directors and its committees guide how we manage our workforce in a way that aligns with our values.

Our management team designs and administers all employment matters, such as recruiting and hiring, onboarding and training, compensation and rewards, performance management and professional development. We continuously evaluate and enhance our internal policies, processes and practices to increase employee engagement and productivity.

Workforce We have a highly skilled and experienced workforce with nearly 90% of our product development team having relevant automotive and technology experience and over 80% of our senior leaders each having over 20 years of experience in their respective fields.

As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately 530 employees, the majority of whom are located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. During fiscal year 2020 we doubled the number of employees while maintaining a voluntary turnover rate of less than 7%, well below competitive norms. We actively seek to manage internal talent mobility through promotions and new assignments to create a high-performing employee base with diverse experiences. 23% of our employees assumed larger responsibilities in connection with a promotion last year, thereby enhancing their skills, growing their careers and celebrating their performance.

We are committed to developing our people to meet our business needs and provide significant on the job experiences to develop and equip them to design and manufacture innovative and technologically advanced vehicles and products. We have implemented methodologies to manage individual performance, development and feedback. Additionally, we hold regular team and company-wide townhalls to provide employees with ongoing exposure to leaders across the company, key business developments, and status of product and project milestones. These forums enable employees to learn more about our business beyond their immediate day to day roles while providing an opportunity for them to ask questions and seek answers to any concerns.

Approximately 50% of our workforce is ethnically or gender diverse and we value and appreciate the distinct contributions every member of our community makes to our growth. We strive to cultivate a shared culture and mission that celebrates each individual at every level. We embrace the diversity of our team members, customers, stakeholders and consumers, including their unique backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and talents. We are committed to providing an environment where human dignity prevails. Every person has an equal opportunity for hire, assignment, and advancement without regard to race, color, religion or belief, national origin, sex, childbirth or pregnancy related conditions, age, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, disability, covered military or veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law at all times from recruitment through employment and promotion.

Culture We invest considerable time and resources to see that our values permeate all aspects of our operations and decision-making, and that our policies and practices reflect our commitment to them. Any employee with concerns related to our ethics and integrity, or who wishes to report incidents of fraud or abuse, may call an external hotline to register those concerns anonymously without fear of attribution or retribution.

We are also committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of those who work for us. We provide our employees and their families with access to a variety of innovative, flexible and convenient health and wellness

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents programs, including benefits that provide protection and security so they can have peace of mind with events that may require time away from work or that may impact their financial well-being, and that offer choice where possible so they can customize their benefits to meet their needs and the needs of their families. Additionally, we commit significant time and resources to a broad range of safety training, beginning with an employee’s initial onboarding to ensure that she or he is equipped to meet the requirements of her or his position. We strive to provide reasonable accommodation for qualified employees with disabilities and employees whose religious belief, practice, or observance conflicts with a workplace requirement.

We provide a robust and holistic rewards program to meet the needs of our employees and drive results in our business. We have designed, and will modify as necessary, our compensation and benefits program to attract, retain, incent and reward deeply talented and qualified employees who share our philosophy and desire to work towards achieving our strategic and operational goals. In addition to salary, our program provides stock awards, a 401(k) plan with employer match, heavily subsidized healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings accounts, paid time off, family leave, family care resources, flexible work schedules, employee assistance programs, and on-site services such as a fitness center and cafe. Beyond our broad-based stock award programs, we have used targeted equity-based grants with vesting conditions to facilitate the future performance and retention of key people with critical roles, skills and experience.

None of our employees are represented by an external employee organization such as a union, works council or employee association and we believe our relations with our employees are favorable.

We actively seek to comply with all local, state and federal employment laws and we monitor current and emerging labor and human capital management risks and mitigate exposure to those risks.

Government Regulation We operate in an industry that is subject to extensive environmental regulation, which has become more stringent over time. The laws and regulations to which we are subject govern, among others, water use; air emissions; use of recycled materials; energy sources; the storage, handling, treatment, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials; the protection of the environment, natural resources and endangered species; and the remediation of environmental contamination. We have been required to obtain and comply with the terms and conditions of multiple environmental permits, many of which are difficult and costly to obtain and could be subject to legal challenges. Compliance with such laws and regulations at an international, regional, national, provincial and local level is an important aspect of our ability to continue our operations.

Environmental standards applicable to us are established by the laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate, standards adopted by regulatory agencies and the permits and licenses. Each of these sources is subject to periodic modifications and increasingly stringent requirements. Violations of these laws, regulations or permits and licenses may result in substantial civil and criminal fines, penalties, and possibly orders to cease the violating operations or to conduct or pay for corrective works. In some instances, violations may also result in the suspension or revocation of permits and licenses.

Vehicle Safety and Testing Regulation Our vehicles are subject to, and are designed to comply with, numerous regulatory requirements established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, including applicable U.S. federal motor vehicle safety standards, or FMVSS. As a manufacturer, we must self-certify that the vehicles meet or are exempt from all applicable FMVSS before a vehicle can be imported into or sold in the U.S.

There are numerous FMVSS that apply to our vehicles. Examples of these requirements include: • Electronic Stability Control—performance and equipment requirements on heavy-duty vehicles to reduce crashes caused by rollover or by directional loss-of-control;

100

• Air Brake Systems—performance and equipment requirements of air brake systems on heavy-duty vehicles to ensure safe braking performance under normal and emergency conditions; • Electric Vehicle Safety—limitations on electrolyte spillage, battery retention, and avoidance of electric shock following specified crash tests; • Flammability of Interior Materials—burn resistance requirements for materials used in the occupant compartment; and • Seat Belt Assemblies and Anchorages—performance and equipment requirements to provide effective occupant protection by restraint and reducing the probability of failure.

The following FMVSS do not apply to our vehicles, but we are incorporating the applicable components of the standards for additional safety performance: • Tire Pressure Monitoring System—performance requirements to warn the driver of significant under-inflation of tires resulting in safety problems; • Roof Crush Resistance—strength requirements for the occupant roof to prevent crushing of the roof into the occupant compartment in rollover crashes; • Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles—performance requirements for sound to alert pedestrians that a commercial vehicle is in the immediate area; and • Crash Tests for High-Voltage and Hydrogen Fuel System Integrity—preventing electric shock from high voltage systems and fires that result from fuel spillage during and after motor vehicle crashes.

In addition to the FMVSS requirements for heavy-duty vehicles, we also design our vehicles to meet the requirements of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, which has requirements for the truck and fleet owners. We also design to meet the requirements set forth in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, or FMCSR, pertaining to the safety of the driver during operation of the vehicle.

There are numerous FMCSR that apply to our vehicles. Examples of these requirements include: • Step, Handhold and Deck Requirements—performance and equipment requirements to enhance the safety for entry, egress, and back of cab access of a heavy-duty vehicle. • Auxiliary Lamps—performance and placement requirements for lamps in addition to lamps that meet the requirements of FMVSS 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment. • Speedometer—performance and accuracy requirement for equipment indicating the vehicle speed. This includes both digital and analog displays.

We are also required to comply with other NHTSA requirements and federal laws administered by NHTSA, including early warning reporting requirements regarding warranty claims, field reports, death and injury reports, foreign recalls, and owner’s manual requirements.

The vehicles we will offer for sale in Europe are subject to United Nations Economic Commission Europe, or UNECE, safety testing regulations. Many of those regulations, referred to as European Union Whole Vehicle Type Approval, or WVTA, are different from the federal motor vehicle safety standards applicable in the U.S. and may require redesign and/or retesting. Our BEV and FCEV trucks are designed to meet specific NHTSA type approvals and we will commence with testing our vehicles for the WVTA and following European type approval-process to assure compliance with the UNECE requirements.

We have found there are UNECE compliance requirements and UN Global Technical Regulations, or GTR, applicable to heavy-duty vehicles in Europe, which have not been developed for heavy-duty vehicles by NHTSA or FMCSA. We have implemented the UNECE standards for additional safety during driving operation. The following are some UNECE standards and GTR applied to our BEV and FCEV trucks.

101

• Electromagnetic Compatibility & Interference—performance requirements for the prevention and interference of electromagnetic radiation which may cause disturbances in the drivability of the vehicles and other vehicles in the area. • Lane Departure Warning System—performance and testing requirements for a system that warns the driver of an unintentional drift of the vehicle out of its travel lane. • Electric Vehicle Safety—performance and testing requirements for BEVs during in-use and post-crash. • Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Safety—performance and testing requirements for FCEV during in-use and post-crash.

Our BEV and FCEV trucks consist of many electronic and automated components and systems. Our vehicles are designed to comply with the International Standards Organization’s, or ISO, Functional Safety Standard. This standard addresses the integration of electrical systems and software and identifies the possible hazards caused by malfunctioning behavior of the safety-related electrical or electronic systems, including the interaction of these systems.

EPA and CARB GHG Emissions & Agency Approvals The U.S. Clean Air Act requires that we obtain a Certificate of Conformity issued by the EPA and a California Executive Order issued by the California Air Resources Board, or CARB, concerning emissions for our vehicles. A Certificate of Conformity is required for vehicles sold in states covered by the Clean Air Act’s standards and an Executive Order is required for vehicles sold in states that have sought and received a waiver from the EPA to utilize California standards. CARB sets the California standards for emissions control for certain regulated pollutants for new vehicles and engines sold in California. States that have adopted the California standards as approved by EPA also recognize the Executive Order for sales of vehicles. There are currently four states which have adopted the California standard for heavy-duty vehicles.

The GHG Rule was incorporated into the Clean Air Act on August 9, 2011. Since our vehicles have zero-emissions, we are required to seek an EPA Certificate of Conformity for the GHG Rule, and a CARB Executive Order for the CARB Heavy Duty Zero Emissions Vehicle Rule. We expect to receive the Certificate of Conformity followed by an Executive Order for sales of our BEV in May 2021.

Battery Safety and Testing Regulation Our vehicles are designed to ISO standards for electrically-propelled vehicles in vehicle operational safety specifications and connecting to an external power supply. Additionally, we are incorporating other ISO battery system standards in our vehicles.

Some of these standards include: • Conductive Charging—for on board charge electromagnetic requirements; • Battery Pack Enclosure Protection—degrees of protection of the electrical equipment within an enclosure from the effects due to the ingress of water; and • Testing Lithium-ion Traction Battery Packs and Systems—safety performance requirements during a variety of testing, such as vibration, thermal cycling, overcharge, and loss of thermal control.

Our battery pack conforms with mandatory regulations governing the transport of “dangerous goods,” which includes lithium-ion batteries that may present a risk in transportation. The governing regulations, which are issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, or PHMSA, are based on the UN Recommendations on the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations, and related UN Manual Tests and Criteria. The regulations vary by mode of transportation when these items are shipped by ocean vessel, rail, truck, or by air.

102

We are designing our battery packs to meet the compliance requirements of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria demonstrating our ability to ship the vehicles and battery packs by any transportation method.

These tests include: • Altitude simulation—simulating air transport; • Thermal cycling—assessing cell and battery seal integrity; • Vibration—simulating vibration during transport; • Shock—simulating possible impacts during transport; • External short circuit—simulating an external short circuit; and • Overcharge—evaluating the ability of a rechargeable battery to withstand overcharging. The cells in our battery packs are composed mainly of lithium-ion.

In addition, our battery packs include packaging for the lithium-ion cells. This packaging includes trace amounts of various hazardous chemicals whose use, storage and disposal is regulated under federal law.

GHG Emissions Credits—U.S. Environmental Protection Agency In connection with the delivery and placement into service of our vehicles under the GHG Rule, we will earn tradable credits that under current laws and regulations can be sold. Under the EPA’s GHG Rule, each BEV earns a credit multiplier of 4.5 and each FCEV earns a credit multiplier of 5.5 for use in the calculation of emission credits. Commercial vehicle manufacturers are required to ensure they meet the nitrogen oxide emission standard for each type of vehicle produced. This emission standard continues to lower the emission requirement over time, increasing the difficulty for conventional diesel vehicles to meet the standard. Until technology catches up for commercial vehicles, manufacturers of diesel trucks will need to purchase GHG credits to cover their emission deficit. The GHG Rule provides the opportunity for the sale of excess credits to other manufacturers who apply such credits to comply with these regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the regulation does not limit the number of BEV and FCEV credits sold within the same commercial vehicle categories.

GHG Emissions Credits—California Air Resources Board California also has a GHG emissions standard which follows very closely to the EPA GHG Emissions Standard. The delivery and placement into service of our zero-emission vehicles in California under the GHG Rule will earn us tradable credits that can be sold. Under CARB GHG regulations, each BEV will also earn a credit multiplier of 4.5 and each FCEV will earn a credit multiplier of 5.5 for use in the calculation of emission credits. Commercial vehicle manufacturers are required to ensure they meet the nitrogen oxide emission standard for each type of vehicle produced. This emission standard continues to lower the emission requirement over time, increasing the difficulty for conventional diesel vehicles to meet the standard.

Until technology catches up for commercial vehicles, manufacturers of diesel trucks will need to purchase GHG credits to cover their emission deficit. The California timeline for reaching very low GHG emissions is more aggressive than the EPA. Commercial vehicle manufacturers will look to cover their emission deficits first for California. The GHG Rule provides an opportunity for the sale of excess credits to other manufacturers who apply such credits to comply with these regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the regulation does not limit the number of BEV and FCEV credits sold within the same commercial vehicle categories.

Examples of other potential incentive and grant programs that either we or our customers can apply for include: • Low Carbon Fuel Standard—The Low Carbon Fuel Standard was initially developed in California and is quickly gaining traction in other jurisdictions around the world. The goal is to reduce the well-to-wheel carbon intensity of fuels by providing both mandated reduction targets as well as tradeable/sellable credits.

103

• Purchase Incentives—Both California and New York have active programs that provide “cash on the hood” incentives to customers that purchase zero-emission vehicles. In California, the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project incentives reach as high as $165,000 for a Class 8 BEV and $315,000 for a Class 8 FCEV, and for the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program NYTVIP, as high as $185,000 for a Class 8 BEV. Other states are considering developing similar programs. • Grant Programs—Government entities at all levels from federal, including DOE, state, (for example, CARB), local (for example, North Texas Council of Governments), have grant programs designed to increase and accelerate the development and deployment of zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure technologies.

Strategic Collaborations Commercial Letter with Nimbus, a Bosch entity On March 2, 2020, we entered into a Commercial Letter Agreement with Nimbus, or the Nimbus Commercial Letter Agreement. Under the Nimbus Commercial Letter Agreement, we may select an autonomous driving software and hardware package to be used on our trucks from any company, but we agreed to use Nimbus’ affiliates’ autonomous driving components on our autonomy-equipped trucks, subject to certain pricing, quality, functionality, reliability deliverability and availability conditions.

CNHI Services Agreement with CNHI/Iveco On September 3, 2019, we entered into the CNHI Services Agreement with CNHI and Iveco in conjunction with our Series D preferred stock financing. As a result of this agreement, we issued to Iveco 25,661,448 shares of Series D preferred stock in exchange for a license valued at $50.0 million pursuant to an S-WAY Platform and Product Sharing Agreement, $100.0 million in in-kind services, pursuant to a Technical Assistance Service Agreement, or the Technical Assistance Service Agreement, and $100.0 million in cash. The CNHI Services Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of the parties, or at the election of a non-breaching party upon the breach by the other of the CNHI Services Agreement, the S-WAY Platform Product Sharing Agreement, or the Technical Assistance Service Agreement if such breach has not been cured within thirty days of receipt of written notice. The CNHI Services Agreement may be also be terminated upon bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against us or CNHI/Iveco. Under the S-WAY Platform and Product Sharing Agreement, we were granted a nonexclusive license to Iveco’s intellectual property, technology and designs related to its latest European heavy-duty truck platform, or the S-WAY. The license does not contain any power train related components, as we plan to use our proprietary electric drive system, but does include access to the semi-articulated and articulated versions of the S-WAY in the 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 variants. The license also gives us access to Iveco’s parts and suppliers list related to the S-WAY and bears a seven-year royalty from the start of production of 1.25% on FCEVs and 1.00% on BEVs that incorporate a material portion of such licensed technology. This license agreement will continue in effect until terminated by mutual agreement of the parties, a non-curable breach has occurred or a bankruptcy related event of either party.

Master Agreement with Anheuser-Busch On February 22, 2018, we entered into the Master Agreement—Tractors with AB, or the Master Agreement, whereby AB agreed to lease from us hydrogen fueled tractors and related equipment to be used by AB for transportation and related services at certain AB locations. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, we will provide maintenance and repairs for the leased equipment.

Legal Proceedings

On September 10, 2020, Hindenburg Research LLC reported on certain aspects of our business and operations. We and our board of directors retained Kirkland & Ellis LLP to conduct an internal review in connection with the Hindenburg article, or the Internal Review, and Kirkland & Ellis promptly contacted the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to make it aware of the commencement of the Internal Review. We subsequently learned that the staff of the Division of Enforcement had previously opened an investigation. On September 14, 2020, we and five of our officers and employees, including Mark A. Russell, our Chief Executive Officer, received subpoenas from the Staff of the Division of Enforcement as a part of a fact-finding inquiry related to aspects of our business as well as certain matters described in the Hindenburg article. The Staff of the Division of Enforcement issued additional subpoenas to another three of our officers and employees, including Kim Brady, our Chief Financial Officer, on September 21, 2020 and to our current and former directors on September 30, 2020.

We and Mr. Milton also received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, or the SDNY, on September 19, 2020. On September 20, 2020, Mr. Milton offered to voluntarily step down from his position as executive chairman, as a member of our board of directors, including all committees thereof, and from all positions as an employee and officer. The board accepted his resignation and appointed Stephen Girsky as Chairman of the board of directors. We subsequently have appointed three new board members, Steve M. Shindler, Bruce L. Smith and Mary L. Petrovich.

We also received a grand jury subpoena from the N.Y. County District Attorney’s Office on September 21, 2020. On October 16, 2020, the N.Y. County District Attorney’s Office agreed to defer its investigation; it has not withdrawn its subpoena issued to us, but has informed us that no further productions are necessary at this time.

On October 28, 2020, we received an information request from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, seeking an update on the status of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and SDNY inquiries, which we provided.

On March 24, 2021, the Staff of the Division of Enforcement issued an additional subpoena related to our projected 2021 cash flow and anticipated use of funds from potential 2021 capital raises.

106

We are committed to cooperating fully with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations, which are ongoing. As such, our counsel frequently engages with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY. Further, we have made voluminous productions of information and made witnesses available for interviews. We will continue to comply with the requests of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY and expect to make additional productions in the future. The documents and information requested in the subpoenas include materials concerning Mr. Milton’s and our statements regarding our business operations and our future.

As part of the Internal Review, which has been substantially completed, Kirkland & Ellis had full access to our data, emails and documents for collection and review. No request by Kirkland & Ellis for information from us was denied. Kirkland & Ellis was also given access to data contained on personal devices for over three dozen of our employees. Kirkland & Ellis, including with the assistance of contract attorneys, reviewed relevant documents in the legal, investor relations, finance, and human resources areas as well as our emails from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020, employee text messages, documents found in our data room and other corporate documents. The Internal Review also included targeted interviews of over thirty (30) Company personnel. Additionally, as part of the Internal Review, Kirkland & Ellis retained automotive experts at a well-known consulting firm to conduct an independent assessment of the current state of our technology development.

The Hindenburg article alleged that Mr. Milton or Nikola made a number of statements, which it asserted were inaccurate, including but not limited to the following: 1. in July 2016, we stated that we owned rights to natural gas wells, and in August 2016 that the wells were used as a backup to solar hydrogen production; 2. in August 2016, Mr. Milton and we stated that we had engineered a zero emissions truck; 3. in December 2016, Mr. Milton stated that the Nikola One was a fully functioning vehicle; 4. that an October 2017 video released by us gave the impression the Nikola One was driven; 5. in April 2019, Mr. Milton stated that solar panels on the roof of our headquarters produce approximately 18 megawatts of energy per day; 6. in December 2019 and July 2020, Mr. Milton stated that we “can produce” over 1,000 kg of hydrogen at the Company’s demo stations and that we were “down below” $3/kg at that time; 7. in July 2020, Mr. Milton stated that “all major components are done in house”; he made similar statements in June 2020; 8. in July 2020, Mr. Milton stated that the inverter software was the most advanced in the world and that other OEMs had asked to use it; and 9. in July 2020, Mr. Milton stated that five trucks were “coming off the assembly line” in Ulm, Germany.

The statements listed above were inaccurate in whole or in part, when made. In other respects, the Hindenburg article’s statements about us were inaccurate. For example, the Automotive Experts determined that: (1) our workforce is led by technical and engineering leads that have deep industry experience and expertise; (2) our technological contributions and development are consistent with other OEMs at similar stages of development; and (3) our maturity level is consistent with that of an emerging OEM. These findings are inconsistent with the main conclusion of the Hindenburg article that we were an “intricate” or “massive fraud”.

In connection with its Internal Review, Kirkland & Ellis has not issued any conclusions, as of the date of this prospectus, as to whether any statements that may have been inaccurate when made violated any statute. Analysis is ongoing to assess, among other matters, whether any such statements were intentional, material, not corrected by other public statements, or harmful to our stockholders, either before or after our business combination and subsequent public listing in June 2020. Kirkland & Ellis further continues to assess the accuracy of other statements made by us, including in our current SEC filings.

The legal and other professional costs we incurred during the first quarter of 2021 and fiscal year 2020 in connection with the Internal Review and disclosed elsewhere in this prospectus include approximately $3.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively, expensed for Mr. Milton’s attorneys’ fees under his indemnification agreement. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we accrued approximately $3.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, in legal and other professional costs for Mr. Milton’s attorneys’ fees under his indemnification agreement. We expect to incur additional costs associated with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations and the Internal Review in fiscal year 2021, which will be expensed as incurred and which could be significant in the periods in which they are recorded.

We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations, nor can we predict whether any other governmental authorities will initiate separate investigations. The outcome of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations and any related legal and administrative proceedings could include a wide variety of outcomes, including the institution of administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings involving us and/or current or former employees, officers and/or directors, the imposition of fines and other penalties, remedies and/or sanctions, modifications to business practices and compliance programs and/or referral to other governmental agencies for other appropriate actions. It is not possible to accurately predict at this time when matters relating to the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations will be completed, the final outcome of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations, what if any actions may be taken by the Staff of the Division of Enforcement, the SDNY or by other governmental agencies, or the effect that such actions may have on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition, which could be material.

Further, to the extent that these investigations and any resulting third-party claims yield adverse results over time, such results could jeopardize our operations and exhaust our cash reserves, and could cause stockholders to lose their entire investment.

For a description of our other material pending legal proceedings, see Legal Proceedings in Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and incorporated herein by reference.

Board Composition Our business and affairs are organized under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors consists of ten members. The primary responsibilities of our board of directors are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling, and direction to management. Our board meets on a regular basis and additionally as required.

112

Our board of directors was previously divided into three classes, each serving a staggered, three-year term. Pursuant to an amendment to our Bylaws approved by our board of directors in April 2021, our board of directors was declassified. Our board of directors consists of, Mark A. Russell, Stephen J. Girsky, Sooyean (Sophia) Jin, Michael L. Mansuetti, Gerrit A. Marx, Mary M. Petrovich, Steven M. Shindler, Bruce L. Smith, DeWitt Thompson, V and Jeffrey W. Ubben, each of who shall serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. Girsky serves as Chairman of our board of directors.

At each annual meeting of stockholders, ten directors will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or thereafter until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of our voting stock.

Director Independence Our board of directors determined that each of our directors, other than Mark A. Russell, qualifies as an independent director, as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq, or the Nasdaq listing rules, and our board consists of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing rules relating to director independence requirements. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers. In addition, our board of directors considered the fact that Messrs. Girsky and Shindler served as President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of VectoIQ, our predecessor company prior to the business combination with Legacy Nikola on June 3, 2020, and in such respective capacities, participated in the preparation of financial statements of VectoIQ, but did not participate in the preparation of Legacy Nikola’s financial statements. Based on advice from Nasdaq, our board of directors determined that Messrs. Girsky and Shindler qualify as independent directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation No member of our compensation committee in 2020 was at any time during 2020 or at any other time an officer or employee of ours, and none had or have any relationships with us that are required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of our executive officers currently serve, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight/Risk Committee One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss major financial risk exposures and the steps our management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our compensation committee also assesses and monitors whether our compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Board Committees In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, our board of directors established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee and adopted a charter for each of these committees, which complies with the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they will be applicable to us. Copies of the charters for each committee are available on the investor relations portion of our website.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers Our Certificate of Incorporation limits our directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability: • for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; • for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; • for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or • for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. • If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that we will, in certain situations, indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

In addition, we entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’

Director Compensation The discussion below relates to the compensation of our non-employee directors following the closing of the Business Combination in June 2020.

Our non-employee director compensation program is designed to provide competitive compensation and to reward directors solely in the form of stock-based compensation to align the interests of directors with the interests of stockholders. Compensation consists of an annual grant of a restricted stock unit award under our 2020 Stock Plan, with a grant date fair market value of $200,000, which vests in full on the first anniversary of such grant date, subject to continued service through such vesting date. In addition, each committee chair is awarded an annual grant of RSUs with a grant date fair market value of $10,000, to vest in full on the first anniversary of such grant date, subject to continued service through such vesting date. The chairman of our board of directors is awarded an annual grant of RSUs with a grant date fair market value of $350,000, to vest in full on the first anniversary of such grant date, subject to continued service through such vesting date.

For the initial award of RSUs following the closing of the Business Combination, the number of RSUs granted was based upon the Business Combination stock price of $10.00 per share, vesting in full on June 3,

2021 subject to continued service through such vesting date. Subsequent grants of RSUs under the non-employee director compensation program will be granted annually concurrent with grants made to our named executive officers, with the number of shares subject to such annual RSU grant based upon the average closing stock price of our common stock over the 21-trading days prior to the grant date.

Compensation under the director compensation program is subject to the annual limits on non-employee director compensation set forth in our 2020 Stock Plan. In addition, each equity award granted to the eligible directors under the director compensation program will vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in our 2020 Stock Plan) to the extent outstanding at such time, subject to continued service through the closing of such change in control.

We reimburse our non-employee directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and travel expenses in connection with their attendance at board and committee meetings. Employee directors do not receive any compensation for service as a member of our board of directors.

The following table shows certain information with respect to the compensation of our non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. For directors elected in June 2020, the number of RSUs granted was determined based on the Business Combination stock price of $10.00 per share while the values shown represent the fair value of the award on the date of grant, reflecting the influence of our share price volatility on the grant date fair value. For directors appointed after June 2020, the number of RSUs was determined by dividing the grant value by the average closing stock price over the 21-trading days prior to the date of grant.

In November 2020, members of our board of directors at the time, executive officers, their affiliates and certain entities associated with those individuals, voluntarily agreed to extend their original lock-up provisions which were agreed to in connection with the Business Combination, from December 2020 to April 30, 2021. On May 1, 2021, the provisions of the lock-up agreements, including the extension, expired.

Director Nominations Our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to our board of directors candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of the stockholders. Our Bylaws also establish advance notice procedures with respect to the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board or a committee of the board. In order for a stockholder nomination to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Our Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers character, integrity, judgment, leadership, diversity of backgrounds, age, gender, ethnicity, independence, skills, education, expertise, business acumen, professional experience, knowledge of or experience in the industry in which we operate in, understanding of our business, the ability of the candidate to devote sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the company, and the extent to which a particular candidate would fill a present or anticipated need on the board.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section explains how our executive compensation program is designed and operates with respect to our named executive officers for 2020 listed below.

Name Position Mark A. Russell President, Chief Executive Officer and Director Kim J. Brady Chief Financial Officer Pablo M. Koziner President, Energy & Commercial Britton M. Worthen Chief Legal Officer Joseph R. Pike Chief Human Resources Officer Trevor R. Milton Former Executive Chairman

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview We are a technology innovator and integrator, working to develop innovative energy and transportation solutions. We are pioneering a business model that will enable corporate customers to integrate next-generation truck technology, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and related maintenance. By creating this ecosystem, we and our strategic business partners hope to build a long-term competitive advantage for clean technology vehicles and next generation fueling solutions.

We believe the fundamental measure of our success will be the stockholder value we create over the long term. Our executive compensation program is designed to reward the successful development and commercialization of transportation and energy solutions, objectives we expect to take multiple years to fully realize. Accordingly, consistent with our origins as a start-up and the nature of these business goals, our compensation scheme is oriented heavily towards long-term equity incentive awards that vest over an extended period, coupled with below-market base salaries and no annual cash bonus program. We believe our executive compensation program is designed to foster long-term thinking and decision making, rewards execution over many years and is aligned with our stockholders’ interests to reward behaviors that generate sustained value creation for the company. We do not reward the narrow achievement of a few discrete, short-term performance goals, financial or otherwise.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis addresses our compensation structure and compensation philosophy following the closing of the Business Combination in June 2020, once we became a public company.

Role of the Compensation Committee Our compensation committee has overall responsibility for recommending to our board of directors the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and determining the compensation of our other executive officers. Each member of our compensation committee qualifies as an “independent director” under Nasdaq stock market rules.

Our compensation committee regularly reviews our executive compensation program to ensure we are well positioned from governance, business, talent and competitive perspectives. We may from time to time make new equity awards or adjust components of our executive compensation program in connection with our periodic compensation review. Our compensation committee meets regularly in executive session without members of management present. Additionally, our Chief Executive Officer is not present during our board of directors or our compensation committee deliberations or votes on his compensation.

Role of Executive Management Management is responsible for recommending and administering the structure and design of our compensation programs. Management recommends key performance objectives, strategies and plans to achieve

120

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents those objectives, and the alignment between the achievement of those performance objectives and the compensation to be realized by our employees, including our executive officers. Our compensation committee considers these recommendations, determines the compensation structure and goals using its own judgment, and approves the specific compensation for each of our executive officers, other than for our Chief Executive Officer whose compensation is approved by our board of directors.

In addition, our board of directors has delegated certain responsibilities to management to grant and administer quarterly equity awards, subject to board-approved guidelines and limitations. For example, management is not authorized to grant stock awards to any of our executive officers, nor may it grant awards in excess of individual or aggregate limitations. Our board of directors has delegated to our compensation committee oversight authority over management’s execution of its delegated responsibilities.

Compensation Program Objectives The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to: • Attract, retain, incent and reward highly qualified executives who are committed to our mission, objectives and a “shared success” culture. • Create an internally equitable and externally competitive compensation program that rewards executives for their performance and contributions to our long-term business results. • Ensure the predominant portion of each executive’s compensation is tied to our share price performance, thereby aligning executive interests directly with those of our stockholders. • Reward performance over multiple years by vesting equity awards following the third anniversary of grant, thereby aligning the timing of executive compensation with the time horizon required by business objectives. • Adhere to the highest standards of corporate governance through the deliberate and objective review and approval by an independent board and disclosure of our programs to our stockholders. Specifically, we believe that transparency to stockholders regarding our executive compensation program with enough information and context to assess our program and practices, and their effectiveness, is essential.

Compensation Program Elements We believe the best measure of our performance is how we are valued over the long term. To focus our executives on the achievement of key initiatives and reward them with the creation of long-term value, we pay them primarily with restricted stock unit awards that have long vesting periods. Our executive compensation program has two basic components:

Compensation Element Principles and Objectives Annual Salary • Promotes value creation with salaries that are significantly below competitive norms. Equity Awards • Promotes a foundation of retention and optimizes stockholder alignment. • Denominated as an annual grant value, delivered as restricted stock units, that cliff-vest following the third anniversary of grant.

Compensation Decisions for 2020 Our executive compensation program is simple, clear and presents a unique approach to pay and rewards. Our low-cash, high-stock pay mix demonstrates that our executive officers believe in our long-term potential and aligns the interests of our executive officers with our stockholders.

CEO 2020 Pay Highlights The compensation of our Chief Executive Officer is comprised primarily of stock awards that require continued service over three years and, in the case of the performance award described below, require significant appreciation in our share price prior to performance shares being earned by our Chief Executive Officer. This approach ensures our stockholders are rewarded by our performance over time prior to our executive officers realizing compensation from stock awards made in 2020.

* The cash compensation percentage has been rounded up to the nearest percentage point and the performance stock grant percentage has been rounded down to the nearest percentage point. All stock awards reflect values as disclosed in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. In addition, salaries were paid by Legacy Nikola to our executive officers in 2020 prior to the Business Combination and entry into amended and restated employment agreements. See the section entitled “—Summary Compensation Table.”

Annual Salary In connection with the closing of the Business Combination and adoption of the 2020 compensation program, each named executive officer requested a salary of $1.00 per year going forward, declining all salary above that amount. Our executive officers are committed to our long-term success and have willingly foregone near-term cash compensation for the opportunity to create innovative products and energy ecosystems that will positively impact the world.

Equity Awards A core principle of our executive compensation program is that the majority of compensation awarded to our executive officers is variable, at-risk, performance-based and dependent on the long-term performance of our common stock. This means that our executives are rewarded when they produce value for our stockholders through the achievement of our product and commercial objectives and, ultimately, when our stockholders are rewarded.

In June 2020, we approved equity awards to each of our executive officers in connection with the Business Combination, in the form of time- based restricted stock units that vest wholly on the third anniversary of the grant date. The annual values of the time-based restricted stock units were designed to approximate competitive total compensation levels generally applicable to each position, recognizing that our cash compensation is comprised solely of $1 and no annual bonus. For 2020, the number of restricted stock units granted was determined by dividing the grant value by the Business Combination stock price of $10 per share. Going forward, the number of restricted stock units granted will be determined by dividing the grant value by the average closing stock price over the 20-trading days prior to the date of grant.

Pay Determination Our compensation committee has the authority under its charter to retain outside consultants or advisors, as it deems necessary or advisable. Our compensation committee did not engage an outside advisor with respect to the development of the 2020 executive compensation or director compensation programs.

Due to the uniqueness of our business, the relative immaturity of the industry, and the lack of direct competitors, we do not use a peer group of specific companies for compensation comparisons. Nevertheless, we reference executive compensation data from a broad array of industrial companies, adjusted to reflect our relative size and market valuation, to understand relevant and applicable market data for executive positions. We believe the target total annual pay for each executive officer, including that for the Chief Executive Officer, is appropriately positioned vis-à-vis the competitive norms established by a broad array of comparably sized industrial companies.

Furthermore, and in our view just as importantly, we actively manage the differences in pay within and across our job levels to appropriately reflect the internal value of positions relative to each other, recognizing the team-based nature of work and the impact of pay equity on the engagement of our employees and internal culture. We believe these pay ratios reflect an appropriate balance between external competitiveness by position and internal equity.

One-Time 2020 Performance Award During the second quarter of 2020, in anticipation of and in connection with the Business Combination, executive management and the independent members of our board of directors began discussions about how to structure a one-time incentive award to lead Nikola through the next phase of its development by promoting the creation of stockholder value through the achievement of key vehicle and commercial milestones. After analysis by our independent board members, our board of directors granted a one-time performance award to each of our named executive officers as of the effective date of the Business Combination, June 3, 2020. We believe these performance awards are within the competitive range of multi-year grants made by companies in connection with initial public offerings. We do not expect to grant additional performance awards to our executive officers during the three-year performance period.

The performance award is comprised of a restricted stock unit award with a three-year performance period, divided among three separate tranches that are each dependent on the sustained achievement of a defined share price milestone. Each of the three tranches of the performance award will vest upon certification by our board of directors that both (i) the share price milestone for such tranche, which begins at $25 for the first tranche and increases by share price increments of $15 thereafter to $40 and to $55 and (ii) continued employment through the end of the performance period, are met. The share price milestones are deemed achieved only if our closing share price meets or exceeds the specific share price milestone for 20 consecutive trading days during the performance period. Any performance awards underlying share price milestones that are not achieved will be cancelled.

In establishing the share price milestones, our board of directors considered a variety of factors, including our then-current stage of development, internal product development targets and commercial growth plans and anticipated growth trajectory. These reference points led to market capitalization multiples that were then translated into specific share price targets. Our board of directors considers each of the share price milestones to be challenging hurdles. For example, to meet all three share price milestones, we will have to add approximately $18 billion to our initial market capitalization of approximately $4 billion at the time of the closing of the Business Combination, reflecting significant appreciation in stockholder value over a three- year period.

124

Achieving a share price of less than $25 results in no performance awards being earned. Under this approach, our market capitalization is required to increase from its initial approximate $4 billion valuation (at a share price of $10) to approximately $10 billion (at a share price of $25) prior to any performance awards being earned, effectively ensuring stockholders receive a return prior to the executive officers being compensated under the plan.

The number of shares underlying the performance awards was determined as a percentage of the increase in our market capitalization above the Business Combination share price of $10 per share.

For example, at a share price of $25, the performance awards are designed to deliver total target value equal to 1.5% of the incremental gains in our equity value above the initial Business Combination share price of $10 per share. The achievement of the maximum target of the performance awards, which requires a share price of $55, is designed to deliver total target value equal to 5.0% of the incremental gains in our equity value above the Business Combination share price of $10 per share. The achievement of the maximum target would require an annualized total shareholder return of 76.5% over the three-year performance period. No additional performance awards are earned at share prices above $55.

This plan design ensures our equity value must increase by more than 150% from the Business Combination share price of $10 per share before our named executive officers earn an incentive payout. No performance awards are earned for any share prices below $25 per share.

In light of Mr. Milton’s separation from the company in September 2020, the other executive officers volunteered, and our board of directors approved, to reset the commencement of the performance period to September 20, 2020, in order to clearly demonstrate our desire to align compensation with the stockholder experience and expectations. The end of the performance period on June 3, 2023 remains unchanged.

The number of restricted stock units underlying the performance awards granted to each of our named executive officers is as follows:

(1) In connection with Mr. Milton’s separation, all performance awards granted to him were canceled and returned. (2) In connection with Mr. Koziner’s promotion to President, Energy & Commercial and being appointed an executive officer, our board of directors granted performance awards to him on the same terms as the other

125

named executive officers but with the number of performance shares adjusted by the number of months remaining in the performance period and adjusted by the stock price at the time the grant was approved by our board of directors in December 2020. (3) This column shows the total number of shares underlying performance awards outstanding as of the end of the fiscal year after accounting for the cancellation of Mr. Milton’s award and the grant of Mr. Koziner’s award.

The potential value to be realized by our named executive officers under the performance award program upon the conclusion of the performance period varies widely depending on, among other things, our ability to achieve our internal product and commercial objectives and the external industrial and macroeconomic circumstances at the time of vesting. For illustration, performance awards are unearned and have no realizable value at share prices below $25. Realized compensation is not a substitute for reported compensation in evaluating our compensation structure, but we believe that realized compensation is an important factor in understanding that the value of compensation that our named executive officers ultimately realize is dependent on a number of factors, including: (i) the vesting of certain awards only upon the successful achievement of a number of share price milestone targets, including milestones that have not yet been achieved; (ii) the fact that our named executive officers do not receive any cash if they do not actually sell shares and thereby reduce their investment in us, and do not receive any cash to the extent that they sell only shares sufficient to cover income taxes with respect to their earned awards; and (iii) the then-current market value of our common stock at the times at which our named executive officers may elect to actually sell their shares.

If a change in control occurs prior to the end of the three-year performance period, the achievement of share price milestones will be based on our performance through the closing of such change in control. The amount of the performance award that would have been earned based on this measurement will be converted to time-based restricted stock units immediately prior to the change in control, or the Converted Awards. The Converted Awards shall vest on the final day of the performance period, subject to the executive’s continued service as an employee of the successor corporation through the end of the performance period. In the event the Converted Awards are not assumed or continued, or an equivalent award substituted, the Converted Awards shall become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of such change in control.

No Perquisites Policy We do not provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our named executive officers, all of whom are employed on an at-will basis. We do not maintain nonqualified deferred compensation plans, supplemental executive retirement plan benefits, or change-in-control benefits for our executive officers. Additionally, we do not provide tax gross-ups except in the case of standard relocation benefits available to similarly situated

126

During 2020, we provided a reimbursement for qualified moving expenses in the aggregate amount of $27,287 to Mr. Brady to facilitate his relocation to Phoenix, Arizona, and provided him an additional $23,279 to offset the taxes incurred by that reimbursement.

Health and Welfare Benefits We provide the following benefits to our named executive officers on the same basis provided to all of our employees: • health, dental and vision insurance; • life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance; • a 401(k) plan for which no match was provided during 2020; • vacation and paid holidays; • short-and long-term disability insurance; and • a health savings account.

Anti-Hedging Policy Under our insider trading policy, our directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors are prohibited from engaging in short sales of our securities, purchases of our securities on margin, hedging or monetization transactions through the use of financial instruments, and options and derivatives trading on any of the stock exchanges or futures exchanges, without prior written pre-clearance from our Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer.

Each tranche of the total number of shares subject to the award will become earned only to the extent specific share price milestones are achieved, and earned shares are only distributed at the conclusion of the performance period subject to such executive officer’s continued service. This award was designed to be an incentive for future performance that would take many years, if at all, to be achieved. Further, each of the performance milestones was selected to be difficult to achieve and dependent on our achievement of our product and commercial objectives over many years. Any performance awards not earned upon the end of the performance period will be forfeited. As of the date of this filing, none of the share price milestones have been achieved and none of the performance awards have been earned. See the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained elsewhere in this prospectus for a discussion of assumptions made in determining the grant date fair value and compensation expense of our stock awards. There can be no assurance that stock award performance milestones will be achieved (in which case no value will be realized by the individual) or that the value upon achievement will approximate the fair value as computed in accordance with ASC 718. (4) The amounts in this column represent the aggregate fair value of the option awards computed as of the grant date of each award in accordance with ASC 718 for financial reporting purposes, rather than amounts paid to or realized by the individual. There can be no assurance that option awards will be exercised (in which case no value will be realized by the individual) or that the value on exercise will approximate the fair value as computed in accordance with ASC 718. (5) We made no matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan during 2020. Pursuant to Mr. Brady’s employment agreement, in connection with his relocation to Phoenix, Arizona, we paid $27,287 for qualified relocation expenses and an associated $23,279 to offset the taxes incurred by that relocation reimbursement during 2020. Additionally, we paid or reimbursed airfare and temporary living expenses in the amount of $8,395, plus a corresponding tax gross up payment of $4,056 during 2019. (6) In September 2020, we entered into a separation agreement with our former executive chairman, which resulted in a modification of his 600,000 time-based restricted stock units and cancellation of all market-based performance restricted stock units. The modification resulted in us recognizing total stock-based compensation of $16.5 million for the awards.

(1) Time-based restricted stock units granted to our named executive officers vest 100% following the third anniversary of grant. The restricted stock units shown for Mr. Koziner, granted prior to him becoming an executive officer in December 2020, vest semi-annually over three years from the date of grant. The restricted stock units shown for Mr. Milton will be distributed to him on March 15, 2021 in connection with the terms of his separation agreement. (2) The market value of unvested time-based restricted stock units is calculated based on the closing price of our common stock ($15.26) as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 31, 2020. (3) Market-based performance stock units granted to our named executive officers vest 100% following the third anniversary of grant to the extent we have achieved the defined performance milestones during the performance period. Mr. Milton forfeited his performance unit awards in connection with his separation from us in September 2020.

130

(4) The market value of unvested market-based performance restricted stock units that have not vested is calculated based on the closing price of our common stock ($15.26) as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 31, 2020. Because none of the market-based share price milestones had been achieved by December 31, 2020 and none of the performance award had been earned, the market value of the performance units was $0. (5) Represents performance-based stock options issued under the Founder Stock Option Plan. These shares fully vested upon the closing of the Business Combination. For further details on the Founder Stock Option Plan, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Transactions with Executive Officers.”

Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table The following table sets forth the dollar amounts realized pursuant to the vesting or exercise of equity-based awards by each of our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020:

(1) In May 2020, VA Spring NM, LLC (currently known as Spring NM, LLC), or Spring NM, which is affiliated with Jeffrey W. Ubben, a member of our board of directors, purchased an aggregate of 2,356,655 shares of Legacy Nikola common stock from certain employees, advisors and former employees of Legacy Nikola, including stock option shares purchased from Messrs. Russell (200,000 shares), Brady (200,000 shares), Worthen (200,000 shares), and Pike (34,476 shares). The equivalent post-Business Combination number of shares of our common stock is shown. (2) Represents a cash exercise of the option for which we calculated the value realized based on the difference between the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise minus the exercise price of the option. (3) We computed the value realized upon vesting of restricted stock units by multiplying the number of shares of common stock underlying RSUs that vested by the closing price of our common stock on the vesting date.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers that provide our named executive officers with severance protections. The employment agreements provide that our named executive officers will be eligible for severance benefits following an involuntary termination of employment without cause, whether or not in connection with a change in control.

Under the employment agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated by us without cause, whether or not in connection with a change in control, then the executive will be entitled to receive (i) a cash severance payment, (ii) a cash payment covering 18 months of COBRA benefits continuation, (iii) full acceleration of time-based restricted stock units, and (iv) pro-rata acceleration of performance market-based restricted stock units. The severance payments described above are subject to the executive’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of us and continued compliance with customary confidentiality and non-solicitation requirements for a period of two years following termination. All severance payments are subject to compliance with Section 409A.

131

If a change in control occurs prior to the end of the three-year performance period, the achievement of share price milestones will be based on our performance through the closing of such change in control. The amount of the performance award that would have been earned based on this measurement will be converted to time-based restricted stock units immediately prior to such change in control, or the Converted Awards. The Converted Awards shall vest on the final day of the performance period, subject to the executive’s continued service as an employee of the successor corporation through the end of the performance period. In the event that the Converted Awards are not assumed or continued, or an equivalent award substituted for the Converted Awards, the Converted Awards shall become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of such change in control.

If, following a change in control, our named executive officer is terminated by us or a successor corporation without cause, then all Converted Awards shall fully vest at the time of termination, subject to compliance with Section 409A. For further details on employment agreements with our named executive officers, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Transactions with Executive Officers—Employment Agreements.”

The following table summarizes the payments that would be made to our named executive officers upon the occurrence of certain qualifying terminations of employment, assuming such named executive officer’s termination of employment with us occurred on December 31, 2020 and where relevant, that a change of control occurred on December 31, 2020.

(1) For involuntary terminations with or without a change in control, pursuant to their employment agreements, our named executive officers would be entitled to a cash severance payment plus a cash lump sum amount equivalent to 18 months of COBRA benefits continuation in exchange for a release of claims against us and other covenants determined to be in our best interests. (2) For involuntary terminations with or without a change in control, all outstanding stock options and restricted stock units immediately vest in full. For involuntary terminations without a change in control, outstanding performance units will vest in an amount based upon the stock price milestones achieved prior to the executive’s termination date and then pro-rated for the amount of time that the executive was employed during the Performance Period. For involuntary terminations following a change in control, outstanding performance units that converted to time vested stock awards units based upon the stock price milestones achieved in the change in control vest. Because all stock options held by our named executive officers had already vested, and because none of the performance stock price milestones had been achieved by fiscal year end, the values shown reflect the number of accelerated time-based restricted stock units multiplied by the closing stock price ($15.26) on the last day of 2020. (3) For terminations due to death and disability, all outstanding stock options and restricted stock units held by our named executive officers will vest immediately. Outstanding performance units will vest in an amount based upon the stock price milestones achieved prior to the date of the executive’s death or termination due to disability. Because all stock options held by our named executive officers had already vested, and because none of the performance stock price milestones had been achieved by fiscal year end, the values shown reflect the number of accelerated time- based restricted stock units multiplied by the closing stock price ($15.26) on the last day of 2020.

132

(4) Represents value as of December 31, 2020. Value of Mr. Milton’s accelerated fully vested RSUs pursuant to the separation agreement is $16,548,000 as of the separation date.

Equity Compensation Plan Information The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights granted to our employees, consultants and directors, as well as the number of shares of common stock remaining available for future issuance under our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2020.

There are no options outstanding under our 2020 Stock Plan. The weighted average exercise price in column (b) does not take into account the RSUs or market-based RSUs that have no exercise price. (2) Consists of 24,523,925 shares available for future issuance under our 2020 Stock Plan and 4,000,000 shares available for future issuance under the 2020 ESPP as of December 31, 2020. Our 2020 ESPP contains an “evergreen” provision, pursuant to which the number of shares of common stock available for purchase under such plan shall be increased on the first day of each year beginning in 2021, equal to the lesser of (x) 1% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on such date or (y) a lesser amount determined by our board of directors. For 2021, the board of directors elected not to increase the number of shares of common stock available for purchase under our 2020 ESPP.

The table above does not include options granted or issuable pursuant to the Founder Stock Option Plan. For further details on the Founder Stock Option Plan, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Transactions with Executive Officers.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following includes a summary of transactions since January 1, 2018 to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change of control, and other arrangements, which are described under the section entitled “Executive Compensation.”

Private Placement On June 3, 2020, a number of purchasers, each, a Subscriber, purchased from the company an aggregate of 52,500,000 shares of common stock, or the PIPE Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $525.0 million, pursuant to separate subscription agreements, each, a Subscription Agreement, entered into effective as of March 2, 2020. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the company gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares. The sale of PIPE Shares was consummated concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination. Inclusive Capital Partners Spring Master Fund, L.P. (f/k/a ValueAct Spring Master Fund, L.P.), or Spring Master Fund, which is affiliated with Jeffrey W. Ubben, a member of our board of directors, purchased 5,000,000 shares of common stock in the PIPE for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million.

Stockholder Support Agreement On March 2, 2020, Legacy Nikola, VectoIQ and certain Legacy Nikola stockholders entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement with the company, or the Stockholder Support Agreement, whereby certain Legacy Nikola stockholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Legacy Nikola’s capital stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination and related transactions. Additionally, such stockholders agreed not to transfer any of their shares of Legacy Nikola common stock and Legacy Nikola preferred stock (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto) or enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement.

Indemnification Agreements We entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or executive officers or as a director or executive officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. For more information regarding these indemnification arrangements, see the section entitled “Management—Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers.” We believe that these charter provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit our company and our stockholders.

Equity Financings Series D Preferred Stock Financing From September 30, 2019 through the closing of the Business Combination, Legacy Nikola sold an aggregate of 25,661,448 shares of Series D preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million,

Repurchase Agreements On March 2, 2020, in accordance with the redemption rights granted pursuant to that certain letter agreement by and between Legacy Nikola and Nimbus, dated August 3, 2018, or, as amended, the Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement, which gave Nimbus the right to sell back to Legacy Nikola a portion of its shares of Series B preferred stock and Series C preferred stock from time to time upon the consummation of future equity capital raises by Legacy Nikola, Legacy Nikola entered into a Series B preferred stock repurchase agreement with Nimbus, whereby Legacy Nikola agreed to repurchase 2,850,930 shares of Legacy Nikola’s Series B preferred stock from Nimbus at a price of $8.77 per share for an aggregate repurchase price of $25.0 million and was completed prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The parties agreed that the aggregate repurchase price constituted a credit towards the number of shares that Nimbus would otherwise be entitled to redeem under any letter agreement between Legacy Nikola and Nimbus.

On September 3, 2019, in accordance with the redemption rights granted pursuant to the Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement, Legacy Nikola entered into a Series B preferred stock repurchase agreement with Nimbus, whereby Legacy Nikola repurchased 3,575,750 shares of Legacy Nikola’s Series B preferred stock from Nimbus at a price of $8.77 per share for an aggregate repurchase price of $31.4 million.

Commercial Agreements Agreements with Nimbus On March 2, 2020, Legacy Nikola entered into a Commercial Letter Agreement with Nimbus, whereby Legacy Nikola agreed to use Nimbus’ affiliates’ autonomous driving components on Legacy Nikola’s autonomy equipped trucks, subject to certain conditions, negotiate inverter development, fuel cell power module development and part supply with Nimbus, and obligate Legacy Nikola to receive services resulting in a minimum payment to Nimbus and its affiliates. We believe the terms of this agreement are generally no less favorable to Legacy Nikola than those that could be obtained in similar transactions with unaffiliated third parties. The Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement was terminated at the closing of the Business Combination.

Agreements with Bosch Entities We maintain commercial relationships with Robert Bosch, LLC, or Bosch, Robert Bosch Battery Systems, LLC, or Bosch Battery, and Robert Bosch Automotive Steering, LLC, or Bosch Steering and collectively with Bosch and Bosch Battery, the Bosch Entities. Robert Bosch GmbH is the parent company of the Bosch Entities, and Nimbus is an affiliate of Robert Bosch GmbH. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded research and development expenses of $15.1 million to these entities. As of December 31, 2020, we recorded $2.8 million of accounts payable and $0.8 million in accrued expenses to these entities. As of December 31, 2020, we have remaining purchase obligations of $1.5 million through 2022 to these entities.

Agreements with CNHI/Iveco On September 30, 2019, Legacy Nikola entered into a European alliance agreement with CNHI and Iveco, or the European Alliance Agreement, whereby Legacy Nikola and CNHI/Iveco agreed to establish an entity for the purposes of designing, developing, engineering and manufacturing pure electric and hydrogen heavy trucks in Europe.

Pursuant to the European Alliance Agreement, Legacy Nikola and Iveco will contribute equal amounts of cash and in kind contributions necessary for each of party to subscribe to 50% of the capital stock of the entity contemplated by the agreement. The initial term of the European Alliance Agreement expires on December 31, 2030, with automatic renewals of ten-year periods unless terminated by either party with written notice received by the non-terminating party no later than December 31, 2029 for the initial term and no later than the end of the 7th year of any subsequent term. We believe the contribution and capitalization terms of this agreement are generally no less favorable to Legacy Nikola than those that could be obtained in similar transactions with unaffiliated third parties.

Transactions with Executive Officers Immediately following the closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to a redemption agreement, we redeemed 7,000,000 shares of common stock from M&M Residual at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. M&M Residual is a Nevada limited liability company that is wholly-owned by Trevor R. Milton, our founder and former executive chairman of the board of directors. The number of shares to be redeemed and the redemption price were determined and agreed upon during negotiations between the various parties to the Business Combination, including Mr. Milton and representatives of VectoIQ, Legacy Nikola and the Subscribers. This redemption was undertaken to allow Mr. Milton, the founder of Legacy Nikola, to attain some liquidity prior to his becoming an executive officer of a publicly traded entity and subject to lock-up restrictions, and it was approved by the disinterested directors of Legacy Nikola.

In 2019, Legacy Nikola entered into an aircraft charter arrangement with Mr. Milton to reimburse him for the flight hours incurred for company use on his personal aircraft. These flight hours were related to business travel by Mr. Milton and other members of the executive team. We recognized expense of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 for the business use of the aircraft. The aircraft charter arrangement was terminated effective October 2020. We recognized $0.2 million for the provision of solar installation services to Mr. Milton for the year ended December 31, 2020. Mr. Milton paid for these services and, as of December 31, 2020, we had no outstanding balances in accounts receivable related to solar installation services. Solar installation services were terminated effective October 2020.

In December 2018, M&M Residual issued 6,005,139 performance-based stock options, or the Performance Awards, pursuant to Legacy Nikola’s Founder Stock Option Plan, effective as of December 31, 2018, or the Founder Stock Option Plan. The Performance Awards were issued to recognize the superior performance and contribution of specific employees of Legacy Nikola, including Mr. Milton’s relatives, Travis Milton and Lance Milton, Britton M. Worthen, our Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, and Joseph R. Pike, our Chief Human Resources Officer. M&M Residual owned the shares of Legacy Nikola common stock underlying the Performance Awards, which are considered to be issued by Legacy Nikola for accounting purposes. The Performance Awards were to vest based on Legacy Nikola’s achievement of a liquidation event, such as a private sale or an initial public offering on a U.S. stock exchange. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the performance conditions were met upon the closing of the Business Combination. As a result, we recognized stock-based compensation expense related to these option awards of $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.

On April 27, 2020, M&M Residual and an affiliate and Spring NM and an affiliate entered into two agreements under which M&M Residual agreed to transfer 600,000 shares of Legacy Nikola common stock valued at a price of $10.00 per share ($6,000,000 in total) to Spring NM, in exchange for the transfer of certain personal property to Mr. Milton. Jeffrey W. Ubben, a member of our board of directors, is the managing member of Spring NM. The transaction was completed in May 2020.

On May 18, 2020 and May 19, 2020, Spring NM purchased an aggregate of 4,480,000 shares of Legacy Nikola common stock from certain employees, advisors and former employees of Legacy Nikola at a purchase price of $10.00 per share of Legacy Nikola common stock, including shares purchased from the following executive officers: Mark A. Russell, Chief Executive Officer (380,200 shares), Mr. Milton (2,406,860 shares from M&M Residual which is controlled by Mr. Milton), Britton M. Worthen, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary (380,200 shares), Kim J. Brady, Chief Financial Officer (380,200 shares) and Joseph R. Pike, Chief Human Resources Officer (65,539 shares). Jeffrey W.

Related Person Transactions Policy Our board of directors adopted a written Related Person Transactions Policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” For purposes of our policy, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which Nikola or any of its subsidiaries are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000, in which any “related person” has a material interest.

Transactions involving compensation for services provided to Nikola as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities (including common stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to our chief legal officer and audit committee (or,

142

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents where review by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the board) for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, we rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, our audit committee will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to: • the risks, costs, and benefits to our company; • the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated; • the materiality and character of the related person’s direct and indirect interest; • the related person’s actual or apparent conflict of interest; • the terms of the transaction; • the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and • the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

Our audit committee approves only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in our best interests.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the possible resale from time to time by Tumim of any or all of the shares of common stock that may be issued by us to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. For additional information regarding the issuance of common stock covered by this prospectus, see the section titled “The Tumim Transaction” above. We are registering the shares of common stock pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into with Tumim on June 11, 2021 in order to permit the Selling Stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, Tumim has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Stockholder and the shares of common stock that it may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, and reflects holdings as of June 15, 2021. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the shares of common stock that the Selling Stockholder may offer under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder may sell some, all or none of its shares in this offering. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of common stock with respect to which the Selling Stockholder has voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 395,278,689 shares of our common stock outstanding on June 15, 2021. Because the purchase price of the shares of common stock issuable under the Purchase Agreement is determined on the applicable Purchase Date with respect to a Purchase, the number of shares that may actually be sold by us under the Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.

Number of Shares Number of Shares of Common Stock Maximum Number of of Common Stock Owned Prior to Shares of Common Stock Owned After Name of Selling Stockholder Offering to be Offered Pursuant to Offering Number(1) Percent this Prospectus Number(2) Percent Tumim Stone Capital LLC(3) 155,703 * 18,012,845 — —

* Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1%. (1) This number represents the 155,703 shares of common stock we issued to Tumim on June 11, 2021 as Commitment Shares in consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement with us. In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering all of the shares that Tumim may be required to purchase under the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion and is subject to conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, the satisfaction of which are entirely outside of Tumim’s control, including the registration statement that includes this prospectus becoming and remaining effective. Furthermore, the Purchases of shares of our Common Stock are subject to certain agreed upon maximum amount limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Also, the Purchase Agreement prohibits us from issuing and selling any shares of our common stock to Tumim to the extent such shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then beneficially owned by Tumim, would cause Tumim’s beneficial ownership of our common stock to exceed the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from issuing or selling shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement in excess of the 19.99% Exchange Cap, unless we obtain stockholder approval to do so, or unless sales of common stock are made at a price equal to or greater than $16.8066 per share, such

147

that the Exchange Cap limitation would not apply under applicable Nasdaq rules. Neither the Beneficial Ownership Cap nor the Exchange Cap (to the extent applicable under Nasdaq rules) may be amended or waived under the Purchase Agreement. (2) Assumes the sale of all shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our Common Stock to Tumim pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may need to sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement more shares of our Common Stock than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $300 million Total Commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act such additional shares. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Tumim is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to Tumim under the Purchase Agreement. (3) The business address of Tumim Stone Capital LLC is 140 Broadway, 38th Floor, New York, NY 10005. Tumim Stone Capital LLC’s principal business is that of a private investor. Maier Joshua Tarlow is the manager of 3i Management, LLC, the general partner of 3i, LP, which is the sole member of Tumim Stone Capital, LLC, and has sole voting control and investment discretion over securities beneficially owned directly by Tumim Stone Capital LLC and indirectly by 3i Management, LLC and 3i, LP. 3i Management, LLC is also the manager of Tumim Stone Capital LLC. We have been advised that none of Mr. Tarlow, 3i Management, LLC, 3i, LP or Tumim Stone Capital LLC is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent broker-dealer, or an affiliate or associated person of a FINRA member or independent broker-dealer. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Mr. Tarlow as to beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned directly by Tumim Stone Capital LLC and indirectly by 3i Management, LLC and 3i, LP.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities, and is qualified by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the warrant-related documents described herein, which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We urge to you read each of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the warrant-related documents described herein in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 600,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and 150,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2021, there were approximately 393,745,157 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As of March 31, 2021, there were 67 holders of record of our common stock and 12 holders of record of our warrants. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other nominees on behalf of stockholders, this number is not indicative of the total number of stockholders represented by these stockholders of record.

Common Stock Voting Power Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically. We have not paid any cash dividends to date. We may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and have no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to common stock.

149

Election of Directors Our board of directors was previously divided into three classes, each serving a staggered, three-year term. Pursuant to an amendment to our Bylaws approved by our board of directors in April 2021, our board of directors was declassified such that each director will be elected at our annual meeting of stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or thereafter until their successors are duly elected and qualified. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Preferred Stock Our Certificate of Incorporation provides, that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers and preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of preferred stock. Our board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Nikola or the removal of existing management.

Warrants As of March 31, 2021, there were 760,915 warrants to purchase common stock outstanding, all of which were initially issued as private warrants. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 3, 2025, except that any warrants issued to Cowen Investments II, LLC will expire on May 15, 2023.

The registration statement registering the issuance of the shares underlying the warrants and the resale of the warrants and common stock that may be issued upon exercise of the warrants was declared effective by the SEC on July 17, 2020.

The warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions adjusting the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the exercise price of the warrants in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and reclassifications, certain dividends and distributions on our common stock, and certain reorganizations, mergers and consolidations involving us.

The warrants are issued under and subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, and in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Special Meetings of Stockholders Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called by such persons as provided in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by (i) a majority vote of our board of directors, (ii) our Secretary, at the request of the Chairman of our board, (iii) our executive chairman, or (iv) the vote of the stockholders owning not less than twenty-five percent of our issued and outstanding stock; provided that our board of directors approves such stockholder request for a special meeting.

150

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations Our Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely under our Bylaws, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the company secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the open of business on the 120th day prior the anniversary of the date of our proxy statement provided in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder must be received by the secretary no later than the close of business on the latter of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Shares Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Exclusive Forum Selection Our Certificate of Incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions be brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, another federal or state court situated in the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation also requires the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that these provisions are unenforceable, and to the extent they are enforceable, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless: • prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

151

• upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or 2 special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 /3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the “interested stockholder” and an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may discourage business combinations or other attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders. The provisions of DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers Our Certificate of Incorporation limits our directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability: • for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; • for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; • for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or • for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation provide that we will, in certain situations, indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of the company’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the company’s request.

152

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Transfer Agent and Registrar The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Listing of Securities Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “NKLA.”

153

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus are being offered by the Selling Stockholder, Tumim. The shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the Selling Stockholder directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus could be effected in one or more of the following methods: • ordinary brokers’ transactions; • transactions involving cross or block trades; • through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents; • “at the market” into an existing market for the shares of Common Stock; • in other ways not involving market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents; • in privately negotiated transactions; or • any combination of the foregoing.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the state’s registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

Tumim is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

Tumim has informed us that it intends to use one or more registered broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if any, of our common stock that it has acquired and may in the future acquire from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such registered broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Tumim has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from Tumim that will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the purchasers, for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent, of the shares sold by the Selling Stockholder through this prospectus. The compensation paid to any such particular broker-dealer by any such purchasers of shares of our common stock sold by the Selling Stockholder may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholder can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive from any purchasers of shares of our common stock sold by the Selling Stockholder.

We know of no existing arrangements between the Selling Stockholder or any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus.

We may from time to time file with the SEC one or more supplements to this prospectus or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to amend, supplement or update information contained in this prospectus, including, if and when required under the Securities Act, to disclose certain information relating to a particular sale of shares offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder, including the names of any brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of such shares by the Selling Stockholder, any compensation paid by the Selling Stockholder to any such brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents, and any other required information.

154

We will pay the expenses incident to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder. As consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, we have issued to Tumim 155,703 shares of our common stock as Commitment Shares. We also have agreed to reimburse Tumim for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

We also have agreed to indemnify Tumim and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of our common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Tumim has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by Tumim specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.

We estimate that the total expenses for the offering will be approximately $300,000.

Tumim has agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, neither Tumim, nor any of its agents, representatives or affiliates will enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common stock.

We have advised the Selling Stockholder that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the Selling Stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this prospectus.

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus have been sold by the Selling Stockholder.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “NKLA”.

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock purchased in this offering by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below). This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax consequences relating thereto. This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction, nor under U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws, except to the limited extent provided below. In general, a “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock (other than an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any of the following: • an individual citizen or resident of the United States; • a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; • an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or • a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

This summary is based upon provisions of the Code and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities are subject to different interpretations and may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in tax consequences different from those summarized below. The remainder of this summary assumes that a non-U.S. holder holds shares of our common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances, nor does it address any estate or gift tax consequences, except to the limited extent provided below, or any aspects of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including if you are a former citizen or resident of the United States, a foreign pension fund, financial institution, insurance company, tax-exempt organization, trader, broker or dealer in securities, commodities or currencies, “controlled foreign corporation,” “passive foreign investment company,” partnership or other pass- through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or an investor in such a pass-through entity), person who acquired shares of our common stock as compensation or otherwise in connection with the performance of services, person that owns, or is deemed to own, more than 5% of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below), person using the accrual method of tax accounting subject to special tax rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, or person who has acquired shares of our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment). We cannot assure you that a change in law will not alter significantly the tax consequences that we describe in this summary.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partners and partnerships should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

If you are considering the purchase of our common stock, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock, as well as the consequences to you arising under other U.S. federal tax laws and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Dividends In the event that we make a distribution of cash or other property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our stock) in respect of our common stock, the distribution generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal

156

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents income tax purposes to the extent it is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted tax basis of a non-U.S. holder’s common stock, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of our common stock (the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “—Gain on Disposition of Common Stock”). Any such distribution will also be subject to the discussion below under the heading “Additional Withholding Requirements.”

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base within the United States) are not subject to the withholding tax provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, Form W-BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if our common stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

Gain on Disposition of Common Stock Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, any gain realized by a non-U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of our common stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless: • the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder); • the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or • we are or have been, at any time during the five-year period preceding such disposition (or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period, if shorter) a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and certain other conditions are met.

A non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition at the graduated rates applicable to a United States person as defined under the Code. In addition, if any non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above is a foreign corporation, the gain realized by such non-U.S. holder may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a 30% (or such lower

157

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States.

Generally, a corporation is a “United States real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its United States real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business (all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). We believe we are not and do not anticipate becoming a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Even if we are or become a United States real property holding corporation, provided that our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, within the meaning of applicable Treasury regulations, our common stock will be treated as a U.S. real property interest only with respect to a non-U.S. holder that holds more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, during the shorter of the 5-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the period that the non-U.S. holder held our common stock. In such case, such non-U.S. holder generally will be taxed on its net gain derived from the disposition at the graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons. No assurance can be provided that our common stock will be considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax The estates of individuals who are neither U.S. citizens nor U.S. residents (as specially defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) generally are subject to U.S. federal estate tax on property with a U.S. situs. Because we are a U.S. corporation, our common stock will be U.S.-situs property and therefore will be included in the taxable estate of a nonresident decedent, unless an applicable estate tax treaty between the United States and the decedent’s country of residence provides otherwise. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of the ownership of our common stock.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Distributions paid to a non-U.S. holder and the amount of any tax withheld with respect to such distributions generally will be reported to the IRS. Copies of the information returns reporting such distributions and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder will not be subject to backup withholding on dividends received if such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our common stock made within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Requirements Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as FATCA), a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax may apply to any dividends paid on, and, subject to the discussion of the proposed

158

Treasury regulations below, the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to (i) a “foreign financial institution” (as specifically defined in the Code) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) its compliance (or deemed compliance) with FATCA (which may alternatively be in the form of compliance with an intergovernmental agreement with the United States) in a manner which avoids withholding, or (ii) a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specifically defined in the Code) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) adequate information regarding certain substantial United States beneficial owners of such entity (if any). If a dividend payment is both subject to withholding under FATCA and subject to the withholding tax discussed above under “—Dividends,” the withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax.

Proposed Treasury regulations, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate withholding under FATCA with respect to payment of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock. The preamble to such proposed Treasury regulations stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed Treasury regulations until final regulations are issued.

You should consult your own tax advisors regarding these requirements and whether they may be relevant to your ownership and disposition of our common stock.

The preceding discussion of U.S. federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice to investors in their particular circumstances. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the common stock offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, Palo Alto, California.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Nikola Corporation at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, included in this Prospectus and Registration Statement, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

CHANGE IN AUDITOR

On June 3, 2020, our board of directors approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP, or EY, as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020. EY served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Legacy Nikola prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, RSM US LLP, or RSM, our independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed that it would be replaced by EY as our independent registered public accounting firm following completion of the company’s audit for the year ended December 31, 2019, which consists only of the accounts of the pre-business combination special purpose acquisition company.

RSM’s report on the company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from January 23, 2018 (inception) to December 31, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, or collectively, the financial statements, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the period from January 23, 2018 (inception) to December 31, 2019 and the subsequent period through March 31, 2020, there were no: (i) disagreements with RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audited scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to RSM’s satisfaction would have caused RSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the period from January 23, 2018 (inception) to December 31, 2018 and the interim period through March 31, 2020, we did not consult EY with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us by EY that EY concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

We have provided RSM with a copy of the disclosures made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, and have requested that RSM furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the registrant in response to this Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from RSM is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

NIKOLA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (a) Overview Nikola Corporation (‘‘Nikola’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) is a designer and manufacturer of heavy-duty commercial battery electric and hydrogen- electric vehicles and energy infrastructure solutions.

On June 3, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. (“VectoIQ”), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2020 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the VectoIQ, VCTIQ Merger Sub Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of VectoIQ incorporated in the State of Delaware (“Merger Sub”), and Nikola Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Nikola”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Legacy Nikola was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy Nikola, with Legacy Nikola surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly- owned subsidiary of VectoIQ (the “Business Combination”).

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, VectoIQ changed its name to Nikola Corporation. Legacy Nikola was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Nikola’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Legacy Nikola’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Nikola’s board of directors comprising a majority of the board of directors of the combined company, and Legacy Nikola’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Nikola issuing stock for the net assets of VectoIQ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of VectoIQ are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

While VectoIQ was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Legacy Nikola was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Nikola became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Nikola prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company and Legacy Nikola following the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Nikola at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share issued to Legacy Nikola’s stockholders in connection with the recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy Nikola redeemable convertible preferred stock and Legacy Nikola common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. Activity within the statement of stockholders’ equity for the issuances and repurchases of Legacy Nikola’s redeemable convertible preferred stock, were also retroactively converted to Legacy Nikola common stock.

(b) Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued) Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited financial information reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The results reported for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Certain prior period balances were conformed to the restated financial statements, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the accounting for warrant liabilities.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted. Share and per share amounts are presented on a post-conversion basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c) Funding Risks and Going Concern As an early stage growth company, Nikola’s ability to access capital is critical. Until the Company can generate sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures, the Company will need to raise additional capital.

Additional stock financing may not be available on favorable terms and could be dilutive to current stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and dilutive financing instruments.

The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available to the Company when, and in the amounts needed, the Company could be required to delay, scale back, or abandon some or all of its development programs and other operations, which could materially harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with GAAP and this basis assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s existing cash resources and existing borrowing availability are sufficient to support planned operations for the next 12 months. As a result, management believes that the Company’s existing financial resources are sufficient to continue operating activities for at least one year past the issuance date of the financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Additionally, the Company considers investments in money market funds with a floating net asset value to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $763.8 million and $840.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, which included cash equivalents of $747.1 million and $827.1 million of highly liquid investments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had zero and $4.1 million, respectively, in an escrow account related to the securitization of the term loan with JP Morgan Chase included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. The term loan was repaid by the Company during the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had zero and $4.0 million, respectively, included in non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents for the required deposit to Pinal Land Holdings, LLC (“PLH”), which was deposited in escrow during the first quarter of 2021 pursuant to the terms of the land conveyance agreement. Further, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had zero and $0.3 million, respectively, in refundable customer deposits included in current restricted cash and cash equivalents.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) In September 2019, Legacy Nikola entered into an agreement that required Legacy Nikola to issue, and the investor to purchase, Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock at a fixed price in April 2020 (the “Forward Contract Liability”), which was accounted for as a liability. The Forward Contract Liability was remeasured to its fair value each reporting period resulting in the recognition of a $1.3 million loss in other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of 2020. The Forward Contract Liability was settled in April 2020 with the issuance of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock.

In determining the fair value of the Forward Contract Liability, estimates and assumptions impacting fair value included the estimated future value of the Company’s Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, discount rates and estimated time to liquidity. The following reflects the significant quantitative inputs used:

As of March 31, 2020 Estimated future value of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock $ 10.00 Discount rate 0.05% Time to liquidity (years) 0.03

Warrant Liability Estimated fair value at December 31, 2020 7,335 Change in fair value (951) Estimated fair value at March 31, 2021 6,384

The fair value of the warrants outstanding was estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The application of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of inputs and significant assumptions including volatility. The following reflects the inputs and assumptions used:

As of March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Stock price $ 13.89 $ 15.26 Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50 Remaining term (in years) 4.18 4.42 Volatility 75% 75% Risk-free rate 0.68% 0.30% Expected dividend yield —% —%

(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted There have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that are applicable or material to the Company as of March 31, 2021.

F-10

NIKOLA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In December 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for convertible debt instruments wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The treasury method will no longer be available. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the year. The Company early adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2021. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of the adoption.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION On June 3, 2020, the Company and VectoIQ consummated the merger contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, with Legacy Nikola surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VectoIQ. Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, all shares of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock of Legacy Nikola were automatically converted into shares of Legacy Nikola common stock. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Nikola common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and converted into the right to receive 1.901 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, VectoIQ’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to 750,000,000 shares, of which 600,000,000 shares were designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and of which 150,000,000 shares were designated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, VectoIQ entered into separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a “Subscriber”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and VectoIQ agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate

F-11

NIKOLA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED)

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION (Continued) of 52,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $525.0 million, in a private placement pursuant to the subscription agreements (the “PIPE”). The PIPE investment closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Legacy Nikola repurchased 2,850,930 shares of Legacy Nikola’s Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock at the price of $8.77 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million pursuant to a Series B preferred stock repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Nimbus Holdings LLC (“Nimbus”). The repurchase is retrospectively adjusted in the statement of stockholders’ equity to reflect the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

Immediately following the Business Combination, pursuant to a redemption agreement, Nikola redeemed 7,000,000 shares of common stock from M&M Residual, LLC (“M&M Residual”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. See Note 7 “Related Party Transactions” for further details on the transaction.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, VectoIQ was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” for further details. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Nikola issuing stock for the net assets of VectoIQ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of VectoIQ are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy Nikola and VectoIQ filed separate standalone federal, state and local income tax returns. As a result of the Business Combination, structured as a reverse acquisition for tax purposes, Legacy Nikola, which was renamed Nikola Subsidiary Corporation in connection with the Business Combination (f/k/a Nikola Corporation), became the parent of the consolidated tax filing group, with Nikola Corporation (f/k/a VectoIQ Acquisition Corp.) as a subsidiary.

The number of shares of common stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination:

Number of Shares Common stock, outstanding prior to Business Combination 22,986,574 Less: redemption of VectoIQ shares (2,702) Common stock of VectoIQ 22,983,872 VectoIQ Founder Shares 6,640,000 Shares issued in PIPE 52,500,000 Less: M&M Residual redemption (7,000,000) Less: Nimbus repurchase (2,850,930) Business Combination and PIPE financing shares 72,272,942 Legacy Nikola shares(1) 288,631,536 Total shares of common stock immediately after Business Combination 360,904,478

(1) The number of Legacy Nikola shares was determined from the 151,831,441 shares of Legacy Nikola common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination converted at the Exchange Ratio of 1.901. All fractional shares were rounded down.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of separately identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

As of March 31, 2021 Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Amount Amortization Amount Licenses 50,150 (150) 50,000 Total intangible assets $ 50,150 $ (150) $ 50,000

As of December 31, 2020 Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Amount Amortization Amount Licenses 50,150 (100) 50,050 Total intangible assets $ 50,150 $ (100) $ 50,050

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial. The Company will begin amortization of the $50.0 million intellectual property license for the S-WAY platform obtained from Iveco (see Note 7) at the start of production. As of March 31, 2021, production has not commenced.

6. INVESTMENTS Unconsolidated VIE In April 2020, the Company and Iveco entered into a series of agreements which established a joint venture in Europe, Nikola Iveco Europe B.V. All assets and liabilities of Nikola Iveco Europe B.V. were transferred to Nikola Iveco Europe GmbH during the third quarter of 2020. The operations of the joint venture are located in Ulm, Germany, and consist of manufacturing the battery-electric (“BEV”) and fuel cell electric (“FCEV”) Class 8 trucks for the European market, as well as for the North American market while the Company’s greenfield manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona, is being completed.

The agreements provide for a 50/50 ownership of the joint venture and a 50/50 allocation of the joint venture’s production volumes and profits between Nikola and Iveco. Both parties are entitled to appoint an equal number of members to the shareholders’ committee of the joint venture. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company and Iveco each contributed intellectual property licenses to their respective technology. During 2020, the Company contributed $8.8 million for a 50% interest in the joint venture, in accordance with the amended contribution agreement. The intellectual property licenses contributed to the joint venture by Nikola are related to intellectual property related to Nikola-developed BEV and FCEV technology for use in the European market. Iveco contributed to the joint venture a license for the S-WAY technology for use in the European market.

Nikola Iveco Europe GmbH is considered a VIE due to insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance based on the terms of the agreements. Accordingly, the VIE is accounted for under the equity method.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s equity interest was $7.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively, and is included in investment in affiliate on the consolidated balance

F-14

NIKOLA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED)

6. INVESTMENTS (Continued) sheets. For three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a $0.8 million loss and zero, respectively, from the joint venture included in equity in net loss of affiliate on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not guarantee debt for, or have other financial support obligations to the entity and its maximum exposure to loss in connection with its continuing involvement with the entity is limited to the carrying value of the investment.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Related Party Aircraft Charter Agreement In 2019, the Company entered into an aircraft charter arrangement with its former Executive Chairman of the board of directors and Legacy Nikola’s former Chief Executive Officer to reimburse him for the flight hours incurred for Company use on his personal aircraft. These flight hours were related to business travel by the former Executive Chairman and other members of the executive team to business meetings and trade conferences, as well as the former Executive Chairman’s commute between the Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, and his residence in Utah. The aircraft charter arrangement was terminated effective October 2020 and there are no such amounts to report subsequent to the termination date. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized expense of $0.2 million for the business use of the aircraft.

Related Party Income During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an immaterial amount for the provision of solar installation services to the former Executive Chairman, which were billed on a time and materials basis. Solar installation services were terminated effective October 2020 and there are no such amounts to report subsequent to the termination date.

Related Party Redemption of Common Stock Immediately following the Business Combination, pursuant to a redemption agreement, the Company redeemed 7,000,000 shares of common stock from M&M Residual at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, payable in immediately available funds. The number of shares to be redeemed and the redemption price were determined and agreed upon during negotiations between the various parties to the Business Combination, including the former Executive Chairman and representatives of VectoIQ, Legacy Nikola and the Subscribers.

Former Related Party License and Service Agreements In September 2019, the Company entered into a Master Industrial Agreement (“CNHI Services Agreement”) and S-WAY Platform and Product Sharing Agreement (“CNHI License Agreement”) with CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNHI”) and Iveco S.p.A (“Iveco”), a former related party, in conjunction with the Company’s Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock offering. Under these agreements, CNHI and Iveco were issued 25,661,448 shares of Legacy Nikola Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock in exchange for an intellectual property license valued at $50.0 million, $100.0 million in-kind services and $100.0 million in cash.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 2,052,917 shares of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock to Iveco, in exchange for $20.0 million of prepaid in-kind services. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $12.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of in-kind services were recognized in research and development on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $33.4 million and $46.3 million prepaid in-kind services, respectively, were reflected on the consolidated balance sheets.

NIKOLA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED)

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued) As of June 3, 2020, Iveco was no longer considered a related party under ASC 850.

Former Related Party Research and Development During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded research and development expenses of $0.9 million from a former related party. As of June 3, 2020, the entity was no longer considered a related party and as a result there are no such amounts to report for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Former Related Party Stock Repurchase In March 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Nimbus in which Nimbus agreed to terminate the Nimbus redemption letter agreement dated August 3, 2018. Concurrently, the Company entered into an agreement with Nimbus, whereby the Company agreed to repurchase 2,850,930 shares of Series B preferred stock from Nimbus at a share price of $8.77 for an aggregate repurchase price of $25.0 million. The parties agreed that the repurchase price constituted the price that Nimbus would otherwise be entitled to under the Nimbus redemption letter agreement. The number of shares to be repurchased was negotiated by the Company and Nimbus as a mechanism to compensate Nimbus for agreeing to relinquish its previous redemption rights granted in the Nimbus redemption letter agreement.

The repurchase was contingent on completion of the Business Combination which occurred during the second quarter of 2020 and the Company repurchased the shares in conjunction with the closing of the Business Combination (see Note 3, Business Combination).

As of June 3, 2020, Nimbus was no longer considered a related party.

8. DEBT Term Note Debt consisted of a term note of zero and $4.1 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

In January 2018, the Company entered into a term note with JP Morgan Chase, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $4.1 million to fund equipment purchases. The term note accrued interest at 2.43% per annum and was payable on or before January 31, 2019. The term note is secured by restricted cash.

In February 2019, the Company amended the term note to extend its term by one year and increased the interest rate to 3.00% per annum. In February 2020, the Company further amended the term note and extended its term for one year, to January 31, 2021. The term note accrued interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company repaid the $4.1 million term note.

9. CAPITAL STRUCTURE Shares Authorized As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a total of 750,000,000 shares authorized for issuance with 600,000,000 shares designated as common stock and 150,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock.

F-16

NIKOLA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED)

9. CAPITAL STRUCTURE (Continued) Warrants As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 760,915 private warrants outstanding. Each private warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. For the three month ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $0.95 million and zero for revaluation of warrant liability on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $6.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, for warrant liability related to the private warrants outstanding.

The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the private warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price.

10. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE 2017 and 2020 Stock Plans Legacy Nikola’s 2017 Stock Option Plan (the “2017 Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified options to purchase Legacy Nikola common stock to officers, employees, directors, and consultants of Legacy Nikola. Options are granted at a price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant and generally become exercisable between one and four years after the date of grant. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2017 Plan.

Each Legacy Nikola option from the 2017 Plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of common stock (each such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Legacy Nikola common stock subject to such Legacy Nikola option immediately prior to the Business Combination and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Legacy Nikola option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided in the Business Combination Agreement, following the Business Combination, each Exchanged Option will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Legacy Nikola option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. All stock option activity was retroactively restated to reflect the Exchanged Options.

At the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on June 2, 2020, the stockholders approved the Nikola Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and the Nikola Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”). The 2020 Plan and the 2020 ESPP were previously approved, subject to stockholder approval, by the Company’s board of directors on May 6, 2020. The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan will not exceed 42,802,865, plus the number of shares subject to outstanding awards as of the closing of the Business Combination under the 2017 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated. The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP is 4,000,000, which may be increased on an annual basis of up to 1.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the first day of each such fiscal year.

NIKOLA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED)

10. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE (Continued) The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock option, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted share awards, stock appreciation awards, and cash-based awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants of the Company. The 2020 Plan and the 2020 ESPP became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination. No offerings have been authorized to date by the Company’s board of directors under the ESPP.

Stock Options The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of options granted. Options vest in accordance with the terms set forth in the grant letter. Time-based options generally vest ratably over a period of approximately 36 months. Changes in stock options are as follows:

The table above includes 5,090,182 outstanding performance based options as of March 31, 2021. The performance-based provision, related to specified amount of equity capital raised, was achieved for all of the outstanding performance-based awards in 2018 and the Company began recognizing expense related to these awards in 2018.

Restricted Stock Units The fair value of RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The time-based RSUs generally vest semi-annually over a three year period or, in the case of executive officers, cliff-vest following the third anniversary from the date of grant. Certain RSUs awarded to key employees contain performance conditions related to achievement of strategic and operational milestones (“Performance RSUs”). As of March 31, 2021, not all of the performance conditions are probable to be achieved. Compensation expense has only been recognized for those conditions that are assumed to be probable. The Company updates its estimates related to the probability and timing of achievement of the operational milestones each period until the award either vests or is forfeited. In addition, for certain technical engineering employees the awards cliff vest after a three year period or vest on the achievement of certain operational milestones.

10. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE (Continued) The RSUs to directors have a vesting cliff of one year after the grant date. Changes in RSUs are as follows:

Number of RSUs Balance at December 31, 2020 5,026,531 Granted 3,201,080 Released 807,143 Cancelled 379,168 Balance at March 31, 2021 7,041,300

Market Based RSUs The fair value of Market Based RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility, that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award to calculate the fair value of the award. The Market Based RSUs contain a stock price index as a benchmark for vesting. These awards have three milestones that each vest depending upon a consecutive 20-trading day stock price target of the Company’s common stock. The shares vested are transferred to the award holders upon the completion of the requisite service period ending June 3, 2023, and upon achievement certification by the Company’s board of directors. If the target price for the tranche is not achieved by the end of requisite service period, the Market Based RSUs are forfeited. Changes in Market Based RSUs are as follows:

Number of Market Based RSUs Balance at December 31, 2020 13,317,712 Granted — Released — Cancelled — Balance at March 31, 2021 13,317,712

Unrecognized compensation expense Options $ 1,819 Market Based RSUs 254,234 RSUs 145,574 Total unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2021 $ 401,627

11. INCOME TAXES To calculate the interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The effect of changes in the enacted tax laws or rates is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and judgments including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or the tax environment changes.

Income tax expense was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Other than as described below, there is no material pending or threatened litigation against the Company that remains outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

Regulatory and Governmental Investigations and Related Internal Review On September 10, 2020, Hindenburg Research LLC reported on certain aspects of the Company’s business and operations. The Company and its board of directors retained Kirkland & Ellis LLP to conduct an internal review in connection with the Hindenburg article (the “Internal Review”), and Kirkland & Ellis promptly contacted the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to make it aware of the commencement of the Internal Review. The Company subsequently learned that the Staff of the Division of Enforcement had previously opened an investigation. On September 14, 2020, the Company and five of its officers and employees, including Mark Russell, our Chief Executive Officer, received subpoenas from the Staff of the Division of Enforcement as a part of a fact-finding inquiry related to aspects of the Company’s business as well as certain matters described in the Hindenburg article. The Staff of the Division of Enforcement issued additional subpoenas to another three of the Company’s officers and employees, including Kim Brady, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on September 21, 2020 and to the Company’s current and former directors on September 30, 2020.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) The Company and Mr. Milton also received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY”) on September 19, 2020. On September 20, 2020, Mr. Milton offered to voluntarily step down from his position as Executive Chairman, as a member of the Company’s board of directors, including all committees thereof, and from all positions as an employee and officer of the Company. The board accepted his resignation and appointed Stephen Girsky as Chairman of the board of directors. The Company subsequently has appointed three new board members, Steve Shindler, Bruce Smith and Mary Petrovich.

The Company also received a grand jury subpoena from the N.Y. County District Attorney’s Office on September 21, 2020. On October 16, 2020, the N.Y. County District Attorney’s Office agreed to defer its investigation; it has not withdrawn its subpoena issued to the Company, but has informed the Company that no further productions to it are necessary at this time.

On October 28, 2020, the Company received an information request from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, seeking an update on the status of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and SDNY inquiries, which the Company provided.

On March 24, 2021, the Staff of the Division of Enforcement issued an additional subpoena to the Company related to its projected 2021 cash flow and anticipated use of funds from potential 2021 capital raises.

The Company is committed to cooperating fully with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations, which are ongoing. As such, the Company’s counsel frequently engages with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY. Further, the Company has made voluminous productions of information and made witnesses available for interviews. The Company will continue to comply with the requests of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY and expect to make additional productions in the future. The documents and information requested in the subpoenas include materials concerning Mr. Milton’s and the Company’s statements regarding the Company’s business operations and the future of the Company.

As part of the Internal Review, which has been substantially completed, Kirkland & Ellis had full access to Company data, emails and documents for collection and review. No request by Kirkland & Ellis for information from the Company was denied. Kirkland & Ellis was also given access to data contained on personal devices for over three dozen of our employees. Kirkland & Ellis, including with the assistance of contract attorneys, reviewed relevant documents in the legal, investor relations, finance, and human resources areas as well as Company emails from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020, employee text messages, documents found in our data room and other corporate documents. The Internal Review also included targeted interviews of over thirty (30) Company personnel. Additionally, as part of the Internal Review, Kirkland & Ellis retained automotive experts (“Automotive Experts”) at a well-known consulting firm to conduct an independent assessment of the current state of our technology development. Refer to Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details.

The legal and other professional costs the Company incurred during the first quarter of 2021 in connection with the Internal Review and disclosed elsewhere in this Report include approximately $3.0 million expensed for Mr. Milton’s attorneys’ fees under his indemnification agreement with the Company. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company accrued approximately $3.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, in legal and other professional costs for Mr. Milton’s attorneys’ fees under his indemnification agreement. The Company expects to incur additional costs associated with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) investigations and the Internal Review during fiscal year 2021, which will be expensed as incurred and which could be significant in the periods in which they are recorded.

The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations, nor can it predict whether any other governmental authorities will initiate separate investigations. The outcome of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations and any related legal and administrative proceedings could include a wide variety of outcomes, including the institution of administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings involving the Company and/or current or former employees, officers and/or directors, the imposition of fines and other penalties, remedies and/or sanctions, modifications to business practices and compliance programs and/or referral to other governmental agencies for other appropriate actions. It is not possible to accurately predict at this time when matters relating to the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations will be completed, the final outcome of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations, what if any actions may be taken by the Staff of the Division of Enforcement, the SDNY or by other governmental agencies, or the effect that such actions may have on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition, which could be material.

Further, to the extent that these investigations and any resulting third-party claims yield adverse results over time, such results could jeopardize the Company’s operations and exhaust its cash reserves, and could cause stockholders to lose their entire investment.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Holzmacher, et al. v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 2:20-cv-2123-JJT), filed by Albert Holzmacher, Michael Wood and Tate Wood in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on November 3, 2020, and Eves v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 2:20-cv-02168-DLR), filed by William Eves in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on November 10, 2020. In October 2020, stipulations by and among the parties to extend the time for the defendants to respond to the complaints until a lead plaintiff, lead counsel, and an operative complaint are identified were entered as orders in certain of the filed actions. On November 16, 2020 and December 8, 2020 respectively, orders in the Malo and Salem actions were entered to transfer the actions to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.

On November 16, 2020, ten motions both to consolidate the pending securities actions and to be appointed as lead plaintiff were filed by putative class members. On December 15, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona consolidated the actions under lead case Borteanu v. Nikola Corporation, et al., No. CV-20-01797-PXL-SPL, and appointed Angelo Baio as the “Lead Plaintiff”. On December 23, 2020, a motion for reconsideration of the Court’s order appointing the Lead Plaintiff was filed. On December 30, 2020, a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to vacate the District Court’s Lead Plaintiff order and directing the court to appoint another Lead Plaintiff was filed before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Case No. 20-73819. The motion for reconsideration was denied on February 18, 2021. The mandamus petition remains pending before the Ninth Circuit, and oral argument is scheduled for June 18, 2021.

On January 28, 2021, the district court entered a scheduling order in the consolidated lawsuit. On March 2, 2021, pursuant to a stipulation jointly submitted by the parties, the district court vacated that scheduling order and stayed the securities action pending disposition of the pending mandamus petition.

Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount in damages, attorneys’ fees, and other relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company is unable to estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these lawsuits, which could be material.

Derivative Litigation Beginning on September 23, 2020, two purported shareholder derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Byun v. Milton, et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-01277-UNA; Salguocar v. Girsky et. al., Case No. 1:20-cv-01404-UNA), purportedly on behalf of the Company, against certain of the Company’s current and former directors alleging breaches of fiduciary duties, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and gross mismanagement. The Byun action also brings claims for unjust enrichment and abuse of control, while the Salguocar action brings a claim for waste of corporate assets. On October 19, 2020, the Byun action was stayed until 30 days after the earlier of (a) the Shareholder Securities Litigation being dismissed in their entirety with prejudice; (b) defendants filing an answer to any complaint in the Shareholder Securities Litigation; or (c) a joint request by plaintiff and defendants to lift the stay. On November 17, 2020, the Byun and Salguocar actions were consolidated as In re Nikola Corporation Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 20-cv-01277-CFC. The consolidated action remains stayed.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) January 26, 2021, the Huhn action was stayed until 30 days after the earlier of (a) the Shareholder Securities Litigation being dismissed in its entirety with prejudice; (b) defendants filing an answer to any complaint in the Shareholder Securities Litigation; or (c) a joint request by plaintiff and defendants to lift the stay.

The complaints seek unspecified monetary damages, costs and fees associated with bringing the actions, and reform of the Company’s corporate governance, risk management and operating practices. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the foregoing complaints. The Company is unable to estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these lawsuits, which could be material.

In addition, on March 8, 2021, the Company received a demand letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company alleging facts and claims substantially the same as many of the facts and claims in the filed derivative shareholder lawsuit. The demand letter requests that the board of directors (i) undertake an independent internal investigation into certain board members and management’s purported violations of Delaware and/or federal law; and (ii) commence a civil action against those members of the board and management for alleged fiduciary breaches. In April 2021, the board of directors formed a demand review committee, consisting of independent directors Bruce L. Smith, and Mary L. Petrovich, to review such demands and provide input to the Company. There can be no assurance as to whether any litigation will be commenced by or against the Company by the purported shareholder with respect to the claims set forth in the demand letter, or whether any such litigation could be material.

Books and Record Demands Pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law Section 220 The Company has received a number of demand letters pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), seeking disclosure of certain of the Company’s records. The Company has responded to those demands, stating its belief that the demand letters fail to fully comply with the requirements of Section 220 of the DGCL. However, in the interest of resolution and while preserving all rights of the defendants, the Company has engaged in negotiations with the shareholders, and intends to provide certain information that the Company had reasonably available to it.

On January 15, 2021, Plaintiff Frances Gatto filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court seeking to compel inspection of books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL. On January 26, 2021, Plaintiff’s counsel and the Company filed a joint letter, notifying the Court that the parties are engaged in dialogue regarding Plaintiff’s demand, and the Company need not answer or otherwise respond to the complaint at this time. The parties have agreed to provide an update to the Court by May 25, 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies on Land Conveyance In February 2019, the Company was conveyed 430 acres of land in Coolidge, Arizona, by PLH. The purpose of the land conveyance was to incentivize the Company to locate its manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona, and provide additional jobs to the region. The Company fulfilled its requirement to commence construction within the period defined by the agreement and is required to complete construction of the manufacturing facility within five years of February 2019 (the “Manufacturing Facility Deadline”).

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) consent of PLH. If the Company does not exercise the Monthly Payment Option, fails to make timely payments on the Monthly Payment Option, or fails to complete construction by the extended Manufacturing Facility Deadline, PLH is entitled to either the $4.0 million security deposit or may reacquire the land and property at the appraised value to be determined by independent appraisers selected by the Company and PLH.

13. NET LOSS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Numerator: Net loss $ (120,224) $ (33,146) Less: revaluation of warrant liability (951) — Adjusted net loss $ (121,175) $ (33,146) Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding, basic 392,189,851 271,896,258 Dilutive effect of common stock issuable from assumed exercise of warrants 299,910 — Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted 392,489,761 271,896,258 Net loss per share: Basic $ (0.31) $ (0.12) Diluted $ (0.31) $ (0.12)

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted for the revaluation of warrant liability for the private warrants, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares of common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise of the warrants. The treasury stock method was used to calculate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents.

Potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss when their effect was antidilutive. The following outstanding common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Nikola Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nikola Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Restatement of 2020 Financial Statements As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2020 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Valuation of Market Based Restricted Stock Units

Description of the The grant date fair value of the Market Based Restricted Stock Units (“Market Based RSUs”) granted during the year ended matter December 31, 2020 totaled $485.1 million. As of

F-26

December 31, 2020, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the Market Based RSUs totaled $283.0 million. The market condition underlying these Market Based RSUs is based upon achieving certain stock price thresholds over a period of time. As discussed in Notes 2 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Market Based RSUs were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilized various assumptions, including volatility and risk free rate, to determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award to calculate the fair value of the award. The volatility assumption was the most critical assumption and had a significant effect on the grant date fair value of the Market Based RSUs and the correlated compensation expense. The volatility assumption was calculated using the historical volatilities of guideline public companies, which were selected based on the nature and similarity of their operations to that of the Company. Auditing the Market Based RSUs was challenging due to the complexity of the Monte Carlo simulation model that considers thousands of simulation paths for stock price performance, as well as the highly judgmental nature of selecting the guideline public companies that determine the critical volatility assumption used in the calculation of the grant date fair value and the correlated recognition of compensation expense. How we addressed the To test the grant date fair value of the Market Based RSUs, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing the matter in our audit appropriateness of the use of the Monte Carlo simulation model and the underlying calculation, as well as testing the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the Market Based RSUs. We compared the risk free rate to readily available information as of the grant date. For the critical volatility assumption, we assessed the applicability of the guideline public companies used based on the nature of their business, compared the historical volatilities of the guideline public companies used in the estimate to actual historical results, and we developed an independent range of volatility. We involved our specialists to assist us with evaluating the Monte Carlo simulation model, as well as to perform comparative range calculations using the assumptions previously discussed.

Valuation of Warrant Liability

Description of the The fair value of the Warrant Liability as of December 31, 2020 totaled $7.3 million. The fair value adjustments for the matter Warrant Liability during the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $13.4 million. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Warrant Liability was valued each reporting period using a Black-Scholes model that utilized various assumptions, including term, stock price, volatility, risk free rate and dividend yield, to calculate the fair value of the Warrant Liability. The volatility assumption was the most critical assumption as it had a significant effect on the fair value of the Warrant Liability. The volatility assumption was calculated using the equity volatilities of guideline public companies, which were selected based on the similarity of their operations to that of the Company. Auditing the fair value of the Warrant Liability was challenging due to the highly judgmental nature of selecting an appropriate valuation model and the model’s assumptions especially the guideline public companies used to determine the critical volatility assumption. How we addressed the To test the fair value of the Warrant Liability, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing the appropriateness of matter in our audit the use of the Black-Scholes model and accuracy of the underlying calculation, including testing the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the Warrant Liability. We compared the term, stock price, risk free rate and dividend yield to readily available information as of the valuation dates for each reporting period. For the critical volatility assumption, we assessed the suitability of the guideline public companies used based on the similarity of their operations to that of the Company, compared the equity

F-27

volatilities of the guideline public companies used in the estimate to actual stock price performance, and we developed an independent range of volatility based on the cumulative volatilities of the guideline public companies adjusted for the relative size of the Company as compared to the guideline public companies. We involved our specialists to assist us with evaluating the Black-Scholes model, as well as to perform comparative range calculations using the assumptions previously discussed.

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Nikola Corporation (‘‘Nikola’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) has restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 included in its Original Form 10-K (as defined below) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in order to correct errors resulting from the incorrect application of generally accepted accounting principles relating to previously issued private warrants.

On April 12, 2021, the SEC Staff released a Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”), (the “SEC Staff Statement”). The SEC Staff Statement highlighted potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of SPACs.

After considering the SEC Staff Statement, the Company re-evaluated its historical accounting for its warrants and concluded it must amend the accounting treatment of the private warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of VectoIQ Acquisition Corp (“VectoIQ”) and recorded to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the Company’s merger with VectoIQ (the “Merger”) and the reverse recapitalization that occurred on June 3, 2020. The warrant agreement governing the Company’s private warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent on the characteristics of the holder of the warrant. Upon review of the statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant with a fixed exercise price and fixed number of underlying shares. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), in consultation with management concluded that the Company’s private warrants are not indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the characteristics of the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for- fixed option on equity shares.

A summary of the accounting impact of these adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the related interim periods is provided in Note 17, Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited). In addition, amounts were restated in the following Notes as a result of the private warrants:

1A. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Nikola Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of battery electric and hydrogen-electric vehicles.

On June 3, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), VectoIQ, consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2020 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among VectoIQ, VCTIQ Merger Sub Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of VectoIQ incorporated in the State of Delaware (“Merger Sub”), and Nikola Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Nikola”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Legacy Nikola was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy Nikola, with Legacy Nikola surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VectoIQ (the “Business Combination”).

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, VectoIQ changed its name to Nikola Corporation (the “Company” or “Nikola”). Legacy Nikola was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Nikola’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Legacy Nikola’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Nikola’s board of directors comprising a majority of the board of directors of the combined company, and Legacy Nikola’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Nikola issuing stock for the net assets of VectoIQ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of VectoIQ are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

1A. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation (Continued) In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share issued to Legacy Nikola’s stockholders in connection with the recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy Nikola redeemable convertible preferred stock and Legacy Nikola common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. Activity within the statement of stockholders’ equity for the issuances and repurchases of Legacy Nikola’s redeemable convertible preferred stock, were also retroactively converted to Legacy Nikola common stock.

(a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the SEC.

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted. Share and per share amounts are presented on a post-conversion basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

(b) Funding Risks and Going Concern As an early stage growth company, Nikola’s ability to access capital is critical. Management plans to raise additional capital through a combination of equity and debt financing, including lease securitization.

As of the date of this report, the Company’s existing cash resources and existing borrowing availability are sufficient to support planned operations for the next 12 months. As a result, management believes that the Company’s existing financial resources are sufficient to continue operating activities for at least one year past the issuance date of the financial statements.

F-37

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(b) Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income is comprised of currency translation adjustments relating to the Company’s equity method investment whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

(c) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve valuation of the Company’s stock-based compensation, including the fair value of common stock and market-based restricted stock units, the valuation of warrant liabilities, the valuation of the redeemable convertible preferred stock tranche liability, estimates related to the Company’s lease assumptions, and contingent liabilities, including litigation reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Segment Information Under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has two components, the Truck business unit and Energy business unit. The Truck business unit is developing and commercializing hydrogen-electric and battery-electric semi-trucks that provide environmentally friendly, cost effective solutions to the trucking sector. The Energy business unit is developing and constructing a network of hydrogen fueling stations to meet hydrogen fuel demand for its customers. To date, the Company has not entered into production for the above-mentioned business units. Therefore, the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also the CODM, makes decisions and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating and reportable segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

(e) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash is placed with high-credit-quality financial institutions and issuers, and at times exceeds federally insured limits. The Company limits its concentration of risk in cash equivalents by diversifying its investments among a variety of industries and issuers. The Company has not experienced any credit loss relating to its cash equivalents.

(f) Concentration of Supplier Risk The Company is not currently in the production stage and generally utilizes suppliers for outside development and engineering support. The Company does not believe that there is any significant supplier concentration risk during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, or 2018.

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) (g) JOBS Act Accounting Election Prior to December 31, 2020, the Company was an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, and as a result was eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. The Company elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. However, as the Company satisfies the definition of a “large accelerated filer” under the definition of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, it no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2020. Therefore the Company is no longer able to take advantage of the extended transition period for adopting new or revised accounting standards.

(h) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Additionally, the Company considers investments in money market funds with a floating net asset value to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company had $840.9 million and $85.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, which included cash equivalents of $827.1 million and $73.0 million highly liquid investments at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $4.1 million in an escrow account related to the securitization of the term loan with JP Morgan Chase included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $4.0 million and zero, respectively, included in non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents for the required deposit to Pinal Land Holdings, LLC (“PLH”) during construction of the manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona. Further, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $0.3 million and zero, respectively, in refundable customer deposits included in current restricted cash and cash equivalents.

The reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents to amounts presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) (i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (As restated) The carrying value of the Company’s current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of those instruments. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments, measured on a recurring basis, as follows:

As of December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Cash equivalents—money market $827,118 — — $827,118 Restricted cash equivalents—money market 4,100 — — 4,100 Liabilities Warrant liability $ — — 7,335 $ 7,335

As of December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Cash equivalents—money market $ 73,005 — — $ 73,005 Restricted cash equivalents—money market 4,144 — — 4,144

During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized zero, a $3.3 million loss, and a $3.5 million gain, respectively, as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations for the remeasurement of the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability. As of December 31, 2019, all Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants were exercised, upon which time the Company reclassified the warrant liability to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the ending balances for the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability measured at fair value:

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability Estimated fair value at December 31, 2018 $ 617 Change in estimated fair value 3,339 Exercise of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants (3,956) Estimated fair value at December 31, 2019 $ —

The following table represents the significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) In September 2019, Legacy Nikola entered into an agreement that required Legacy Nikola to issue, and the investor to purchase, Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock at a fixed price in April 2020 (the “Forward Contract Liability”), which was accounted for as a liability. The liability was remeasured to its fair value each reporting period and at settlement, which occurred in April 2020 with the issuance of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock. The change in fair value was recognized in other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value of the Forward Contract Liability was as follows:

Forward Contract Liability Estimated fair value at December 31, 2019 $ — Change in estimated fair value 1,324 Settlement of forward contract liability (1,324) Estimated fair value at December 31, 2020 $ —

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) The fair value of the private warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The application of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of inputs and significant assumptions including volatility. Significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited history of trading of our common stock, we determined expected volatility based on a peer group of publicly traded companies. The following reflects the inputs and assumptions used:

As of December 31, 2020 (As Restated) 2019 Stock price $ 15.26 N/A Exercise price $ 11.50 N/A Remaining term (in years) 4.42 N/A Volatility 75% N/A Risk-free interest rate 0.30% N/A Expected dividend yield —% N/A

(j) Investments Variable Interest Entities The Company may enter into investments in entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”) under ASC 810. A VIE is an entity that has either insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. If the Company is a primary beneficiary of a VIE, it is required to consolidate the entity. To determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company evaluates whether it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the Company. If the Company is not the primary beneficiary and an ownership interest is held in the entity, the interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company continuously assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in changing conclusions.

Equity Method Investments in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for using the equity method and are presented on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of the investee is presented within the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates its equity method investments whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period. Distributions received from equity method investees are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the cumulative earnings approach, whereby distributions received from equity method investments are classified as cash flows from operations to the extent of equity earnings and then as cash flows from investing activities thereafter. Refer to Note 7, Investments, for further discussion.

(l) Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. This determination depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if the Company obtains the right to direct the use of and obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company classifies leases with contractual terms greater than 12 months as either operating or finance.

Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments, reduced by lease incentives, at the lease commencement date. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments, on a collateralized basis and in a similar economic environment over a similar term.

Lease assets are recognized based on the related lease liabilities, plus any prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs from executing the leasing arrangement. The lease term includes the base, non-cancelable lease term, and any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain, at commencement, that the Company will exercise such options.

Finance lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets or the lease term. The interest component of a finance lease is included in “Interest income, net” and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term. Leases with terms of less than 12 months at commencement are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in accordance with the short-term lease practical expedient under ASC 842. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 842 to not separate lease and non-lease components within a leasing arrangement. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company has elected to apply both of these practical expedients to its current classes of underlying lease assets.

Variable payments related to a lease are expensed as incurred. These costs often relate to payments for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other operating costs in addition to base rent.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) long-term portions of finance lease liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Finance lease liabilities”, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5, Leases, for additional discussion.

(m) Goodwill The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of the goodwill impairment test, which is performed annually. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company performs a qualitative analysis on December 31, each year to determine if events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

Factors considered which could trigger a further impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets, the Company’s overall business strategy, and significant industry or macroeconomic trends. If the qualitative analysis indicates that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable based on the existence of one or more of the above indicators, recoverability is determined by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. An impairment charge would then be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair-market value of the asset.

There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

(n) Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives The Company’s prior acquisitions have resulted in value assigned to in-process R&D related to the Company’s Powersports business unit. In-process R&D has an indefinite useful life until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. If abandoned, the assets would be impaired. If the activities are completed, a determination is made regarding the useful lives of the assets and the methods of amortization.

The Company is required to test its in-process R&D assets for impairment annually using the guidance for indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company’s impairment evaluation consists of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the in-process R&D asset is impaired. Factors considered which could trigger a further impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets, the Company’s overall business strategy, and significant industry or macroeconomic trends. If it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, the Company determines the fair value of the in-process R&D asset and records an impairment charge if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company ceased operations related to the Powersports business unit in order to focus on the Company’s primary mission of commercial production of semi-trucks and construction of hydrogen fueling stations. All employees in the Powersports business unit were transferred to the Truck and Energy business units within the Company. As a result, the Company recorded impairment expense related to its in-process R&D during 2020. There was no impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 6, Intangible Assets, Net, for further discussion.

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) For intangible assets acquired in a non-monetary exchange, the estimated fair value of the shares transferred are used to establish their recorded values.

External costs incurred to renew or extend the term of the identifiable intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life.

(o) Long-Lived Assets and Finite Lived Intangibles The Company has finite lived intangible assets consisting of licenses and tradenames. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining economic lives. Trademarks are amortized over twelve years and included in research and development expense, or selling, general, and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations. Licenses are amortized over five to seven years and included in selling, general, and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The events and circumstances the Company monitors and considers include significant decreases in the market price of similar assets, significant adverse changes to the extent and manner in which the asset is used, an adverse change in legal factors or business climate, an accumulation of costs that exceed the estimated cost to acquire or develop a similar asset, and continuing losses that exceed forecasted costs. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amount of such assets or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flow it expects the assets or asset group to generate. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the sum of the expected long- term undiscounted cash flows that the long-lived asset is expected to generate is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated. An impairment charge would then be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.

(p) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost and reverses previously recognized costs for unvested awards in the period forfeitures occur. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is impacted by the fair value of common stock, expected price volatility of common stock, expected term, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of market based RSU awards (“Market Based RSUs”) is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility, that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award to calculate the fair value of the award.

(r) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability The Company has issued freestanding warrants to purchase shares of its Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock that are classified outside of permanent equity. As such these warrants were recorded at fair value, and subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants or the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion of an initial public offering. Upon exercise, the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

(s) Warrant Liability (As Restated) The Company may issue common stock warrants with debt, equity or as a standalone financing instruments that are recorded as either liabilities or equity in accordance with the respective accounting guidance. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at their relative fair value determined at the issuance date and remeasurement is not required. Warrants recorded as liabilities are recorded at their fair value, within warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets, and remeasured on each reporting date with changes recorded in revaluation of warrant liability on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

(t) Revenue Recognition To date, the Company’s revenues are derived from solar installation services, which are generally completed in less than one year. Solar installation projects are not part of the Company’s primary operations and were concluded in 2020.

The Company’s customer contracts contain a single performance obligation, which is the solar installation service. The transaction price in the Company’s customer contracts is fixed. Revenue for solar installation contracts is generally recognized over time as the services are rendered to the customer based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. Under this method, progress of contracts is measured by actual costs incurred in relation to the Company’s best estimate of total estimated costs, which are reviewed and updated routinely for contracts in progress. The cumulative effect of any change in estimate is recorded in the period when the change in estimate is determined.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) (v) Research and Development Expense Research and development expense consist of outsourced engineering services, allocated facilities costs, depreciation, internal engineering and development expenses, materials, labor and stock-based compensation related to development of the Company’s products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

(w) Selling, General, and Administrative Expense Selling, general, and administrative expense consist of personnel costs, allocated facilities expenses, depreciation and amortization, travel, and advertising costs.

Advertising expense is expensed as incurred and was $0.7 million, $2.5 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

(x) Other Income (Expense) Other income (expense) consist of grant income received from the government, foreign currency gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Grant income is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match the income on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.8 million of foreign currency losses. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, foreign currency gains and losses were immaterial.

(y) Net Loss Per Share (As Restated) Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted for the revaluation of warrant liability, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares of common stock equivalents resulting from the assumed exercise of the warrants. The treasury stock method is used to calculate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents.

(z) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) (Continued) (aa) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, was issued to provide more detailed guidance and additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-02. Furthermore, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method in addition to the existing modified retrospective transition method by allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

Until December 31, 2020, the Company was an emerging growth company as defined by the JOBS Act and previously disclosed that these amendments would become effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2021. However, this ASU instead became effective for the Company in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, with an effective date of January 1, 2020, as it no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2020. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of a finance lease asset and finance lease liability of $34.8 million and $16.0 million, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized a $0.8 million cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit driven by derecognition of net assets and lease obligations of $32.4 million and $12.8 million, respectively, related to the Company’s lease that was previously classified as build-to-suit. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations nor the consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 5, Leases, for further discussion of the adoption of ASC 842 and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which, together with subsequent amendments, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company adopted the ASU in the current period and the ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combinations (As Restated) On June 3, 2020, the Company and VectoIQ consummated the merger contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, with Legacy Nikola surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VectoIQ. Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, all shares of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock of Legacy Nikola were automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Nikola common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and converted into the right to receive 1.901 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Legacy Nikola repurchased 2,850,930 shares of Legacy Nikola’s Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock at the price of $8.77 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million pursuant to a Series B preferred stock repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Nimbus Holdings LLC (“Nimbus”). The repurchase is retrospectively adjusted in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity to reflect the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

Immediately following the Business Combination, pursuant to a redemption agreement, Nikola redeemed 7,000,000 shares of common stock from M&M Residual, LLC at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. See Note 8, Related Party Transactions, for further details on the transaction.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, VectoIQ was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. See Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, for further details. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Nikola issuing stock for the net assets of VectoIQ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of VectoIQ are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy Nikola and VectoIQ filed separate standalone federal, state and local income tax returns. As a result of the Business Combination, structured as a reverse acquisition for tax purposes, Legacy Nikola, which was renamed Nikola Subsidiary Corporation in connection with the Business Combination (f/k/a Nikola Corporation), became the parent of the consolidated filing group, with Nikola Corporation (f/ k/a VectoIQ Acquisition Corp.) as a subsidiary.

In June 2018, the Company began construction on several significant building expansion and improvement projects in-order to meet the Company’s requirements. Construction on the Company’s headquarters was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2019 and the related asset was placed in service in September 2019.

Because the Company was involved in certain aspects of the construction per the terms of the lease, the Company was deemed the owner of the building for accounting purposes during the construction period. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2019 the Company recorded a build-to-suit lease asset of $33.2 million in property and equipment, net, which included building costs paid by the Company of $20.8 million, with a $11.7 million financing liability recorded in other non-current liabilities and $0.7 million liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

6. Intangible Assets, Net (Continued) For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company expensed $12.1 million of in-process R&D and $0.3 million of trademarks, net of accumulated amortization, previously included in intangible assets to impairment expense on the consolidated statements of operations. These assets were related to the Powersports business unit whose operations ceased in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company had no impairment expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

As part of the Series D financing, the Company was granted a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to intellectual property used in the Iveco S-WAY Platform and Product, which is the cab over engine truck manufactured by Iveco S.p.A (“Iveco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNHI”). The material rights under the license agreement include the non-exclusive use of the S-WAY key technology to manufacture, distribute and service BEV and FCEV trucks and related components in the United States, and the ability to grant the use of the key technology to the Company’s North American sub-suppliers. The Company intends to utilize the license solely in North America for the development of BEV and FCEV trucks. The fair value of the license was determined to be $50.0 million. In exchange for the license, the Company issued 5,132,291 shares of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock to CNHI and its affiliates. The Company will amortize the license using a straight-line method over a 7-year useful life, beginning at the start of commercial production, as it reflects the period over which the sales of BEV and FCEV trucks utilizing Iveco S-WAY platform are expected to contribute to the Company’s cash flows. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not started amortizing the license.

Estimated amortization expense for all intangible assets subject to amortization in future years is expected to be:

Years Ended December 31, Amortization 2021 $ 1,816 2022 7,163 2023 7,143 2024 7,143 2025 7,143 Thereafter 19,642 Total $ 50,050

7. Investments Unconsolidated VIE In April 2020, the Company and Iveco entered into a series of agreements which established a joint venture in Europe, Nikola Iveco Europe B.V. All assets and liabilities of Nikola Iveco Europe B.V. were transferred to Nikola Iveco Europe GmbH during the third quarter of 2020. The operations of the joint venture are located in Ulm, Germany, and consist of manufacturing the BEV and FCEV Class 8 trucks for the European market, as well as for the North American market while the Company’s greenfield manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona, is being completed.

7. Investments (Continued) 2020, the Company contributed $8.8 million for a 50% interest in the joint venture, in accordance with the amended contribution agreement. The intellectual property licenses contributed to the joint venture by Nikola are related to intellectual property related to Nikola-developed BEV and FCEV technology for the use in the European market. Iveco contributed to the joint venture a license for the S-WAY technology for use in the European market.

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s equity interest was $8.4 million and is included in investments in affiliate on the consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.6 million loss from the joint venture and is included in equity in net loss of affiliate on the consolidated statements of operations.

Related Party Transactions Related Party Aircraft Charter Agreement In 2019, the Company entered into an aircraft charter arrangement with the Company’s former Executive Chairman of the board of directors of the Company and Legacy Nikola’s former Chief Executive Officer to reimburse him for the flight hours incurred for Company use on his personal aircraft. These flight hours were related to business travel by the former Executive Chairman and other members of the executive team to business meetings and trade conferences, as well as the former Executive Chairman’s commute between the Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, and his residence in Utah. The Company recognized expenses of $1.6 million, $0.2 million and zero for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for the business use of the aircraft. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company had zero and $0.03 million, respectively, outstanding in accounts payable and accrued expenses to the former Executive Chairman for the business use of the aircraft. The aircraft charter arrangement was terminated effective October 2020.

These performance-based stock options vest based on the Company’s achievement of a liquidation event, such as a private sale or an initial public offering on a U.S. stock exchange. An additional award of 180,153 shares was made under the plan in May 2020, to replace a forfeited grant. The performance conditions were met upon the closing of the Business Combination and the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to these option awards for $7.2 million in June 2020. As of December 31, 2020 the weighted average exercise price per share is $1.39, the weighted-average grant date fair value is $1.20 per share, and the weighted-average remaining contractual term is 6.42 years for these performance- based stock options.

Related Party Stock Repurchase and Redemption of Common Stock In November 2018, the Company repurchased 983,699 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock from the former Executive Chairman at $4.23 per share for a total purchase price of $4.2 million. The repurchased redeemable convertible preferred stock was retired immediately thereafter. The payment of $4.2 million was net against the former Executive Chairman’s $2.5 million promissory note with the Company. The former Executive Chairman also paid $0.3 million interest on the promissory note, therefore, the net payment to the former Executive Chairman was $1.4 million.

Immediately following the Business Combination, pursuant to a redemption agreement, the Company redeemed 7,000,000 shares of common stock from M&M Residual at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, payable in immediately available funds. The number of shares to be redeemed and the redemption price were determined and agreed upon during negotiations between the various parties to the Business Combination, including the former Executive Chairman and representatives of VectoIQ, Legacy Nikola and the Subscribers.

During 2019, the Company issued 5,953,515 shares of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock to Iveco in exchange for the licensed Iveco technology and $8.0 million of prepaid in-kind services. Additionally, the Company issued 5,132,291 Series D preferred redeemable convertible preferred shares in exchange for $50.0 million in cash.

During 2020, the Company issued 9,443,353 shares of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, to Iveco, in exchange for $92.0 million of prepaid in-kind services.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $2.8 million of accounts payable due to the former related party and $0.8 million in accrued expenses due to the former related party. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.6 million of accounts payable due to the former related party and $0.5 million of accrued expenses due to the former related party.

As of June 3, 2020, the entity is no longer considered a related party.

Former Related Party Stock Repurchase In August 2018, concurrently with the Series C preferred stock financing, the Company entered into the Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement with Nimbus, a former related party. Pursuant to the terms of the Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement, Nimbus received the right but not the obligation to sell back to the Company its shares of Series B preferred stock and Series C preferred stock, with any such repurchases applying first to Series B preferred stock, in an amount equal to the value of up to five percent (5%) of the aggregate size of each of Nikola’s subsequent equity financing rounds. The shares elected to be repurchased by Nimbus were to be purchased by the Company at a share price equal to 90% of the share price in the applicable subsequent financing round.

In September 2019, in contemplation of the Company’s proposed Series D preferred stock financing, the Company entered into an amendment of the letter agreement by and between the Company and Nimbus, dated August 3, 2018 (the “Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement” and as amended, the “Nimbus Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment and the Nimbus Repurchase Agreement, the Company agreed to repurchase 3,575,750 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock held by Nimbus, a former related party, at the share price of $8.77 which is equal to 90% of the share price in the Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock financing of $9.74 per share. The number of shares to be repurchased exceeded five percent (5%) of the contemplated Series D round of financing. This was negotiated by the Company in order to reduce the total number of shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock held by Nimbus, to such an extent that Nimbus would no longer be entitled to elect a member to the Company’s board of directors as a result of Nimbus’ Series B preferred stock holdings. The repurchase was completed in October 2019, for an aggregate repurchase amount of $31.4 million. The Amendment also provided Nimbus with additional redemption rights based on various capital raise thresholds, none of which were met as of December 31, 2019.

In March 2020, the Company entered into an additional letter agreement with Nimbus in which Nimbus agreed to terminate the Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement. Concurrently, the Company entered into an agreement with Nimbus, whereby the Company agreed to repurchase an additional 2,850,930 shares of Series B preferred stock from Nimbus at a share price of $8.77 for an aggregate repurchase price of $25.0 million. The parties agreed that the repurchase price constituted the price that Nimbus would otherwise be entitled to under the Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement. The number of shares to be repurchased was negotiated by the Company and Nimbus as a mechanism to compensate Nimbus for agreeing to relinquish its previous redemption rights granted in the Nimbus Redemption Letter Agreement.

Related Party Transactions (Continued) of the shares repurchased were recorded as a reduction to redeemable convertible preferred stock, which has been retrospectively adjusted in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity to reflect the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented. For the computation of net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2020, the repurchase price in excess of the carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock of $13.4 million is reflected as a decrease to net loss attributable to common stockholders (see Note 15, Net Loss per Share).

As of June 3, 2020, Nimbus is no longer considered a related party.

9. Debt Debt consisted of the following as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Term Note In January 2018, the Company entered into a term note with JP Morgan Chase, pursuant to which, the Company borrowed $4.1 million to fund equipment purchases. The term note accrued interest at 2.43% per annum and was payable on or before January 31, 2019. The term note is secured by restricted cash.

In February 2019, the Company amended the term note to extend its term by one year and increased the interest rate to 3.00% per annum. In February 2020, the Company amended the term note to extend its term for one year, to January 31, 2021. The term note accrued interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. The term loan has a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum amount of liquidity with the bank. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenant.

Payroll Protection Program Note In April 2020, the Company entered into a Note with JP Morgan Chase under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program established under Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $4.1 million (the “Note”). The Note accrues interest at rate of 0.98% per annum and matures in 24 months. On April 30, 2020, the Company returned the $4.1 million in proceeds from the Note to JP Morgan Chase.

F-59

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

10. Capital Structure (As Restated) (Continued) Warrants As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 760,915 private warrants outstanding. Each private warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. There were 129,085 private warrants exercised in the fourth quarter of 2020, for total proceeds of $1.5 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $7.3 million (As Restated) for warrant liability related to the private warrants outstanding.

The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the private warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the private warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price.

On July 22, 2020, the Company issued a notice of redemption of all of its outstanding public warrants on a cash basis which was completed in September 2020. The Company issued 22,877,806 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of public warrants and received approximately $263.1 million of proceeds from such exercises. The 122,194 public warrants not exercised by the end of the redemption period were redeemed for a price of $0.01 per public warrant, and subsequently cancelled by the Company. The private warrants held by the initial holders thereof or permitted transferees of the initial holders were not subject to this redemption.

11. Stock-Based Compensation Expense 2017 and 2020 Stock Plans Legacy Nikola’s 2017 Stock Option Plan (the “2017 Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified options to purchase Legacy Nikola common stock to officers, employees, directors, and consultants of Legacy Nikola. Options are granted at a price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant and generally become exercisable between one and four years after the date of grant. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2017 Plan.

11. Stock-Based Compensation Expense (Continued) stockholder approval, by the Company’s board of directors on May 6, 2020. The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan will not exceed 42,802,865, plus the number of shares subject to outstanding awards as of the closing of the Business Combination under the 2017 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated. In addition, the shares authorized for the 2020 Plan may be increased on an annual basis for a period of up to ten years, beginning with the fiscal year that begins January 1, 2021, in an amount equal up to 2.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP is 4,000,000, which may be increased on an annual basis of up to 1.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the first day of each such fiscal year.

The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock option, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted share awards, stock appreciation awards, and cash-based awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants of the Company. The 2020 Plan and the 2020 ESPP became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination. No offerings have been authorized to date by the Company’s board of directors under the ESPP.

Common Stock Valuation Prior to the completion of the Business Combination the fair value of Legacy Nikola common stock that underlies the stock options was determined by Legacy Nikola’s board of directors based upon information available at the time of grant. Because such grants occurred prior to the exchange of Legacy Nikola common stock into the Company’s common stock, Legacy Nikola’s board of directors determined the fair value of Legacy Nikola common stock with assistance of periodic valuation studies from an independent third-party valuation firm. The valuations were consistent with the guidance and methods outlined in the AICPA Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, or AICPA Practice Aid.

Stock Option Valuation The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of options granted, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. The Company calculates the fair value of each option grant on the grant date using the following assumptions: Expected Term—The Company uses the simplified method when calculating expected term due to insufficient historical exercise data. Expected Volatility—As the Company’s shares have limited history, the volatility is based on a benchmark of comparable companies within the automotive and energy storage industries. Expected Dividend Yield—The dividend rate used is zero as the Company does not have a history of paying dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

11. Stock-Based Compensation Expense (Continued) Risk-Free Interest Rate—The interest rates used are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.

Performance Based Stock Options As of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the outstanding performance-based options (“PSUs”) issued by the Company were 5,090,182, 5,153,485 and 5,628,735, respectively. No PSUs were granted in fiscal year 2020. As of December 31, 2018, the performance-based provision was achieved for all of the outstanding performance-based award and the Company began recognizing expense related to these PSUs in 2018. The weighted- average grant date fair value of these stock options was $0.63 in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.

The 5,090,182, 5,153,485, and 5,628,735 PSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, does not include PSUs issued by a related party. See Note 8, Related Party Transactions, for additional information regarding the related party PSUs.

11. Stock-Based Compensation Expense (Continued) The option activity above does not include the PSUs issued by the related party. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options issued for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $6.92, $0.75 and $0.39, respectively.

There were 8,716,423 and 1,266 stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $132.7 million during 2020. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2019 was immaterial. There were no stock options exercised during 2018. The fair value of stock options vested for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $27.0 million, $4.3 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.

As a result of the Business Combination, vesting of certain stock options and performance-based options accelerated in accordance with terms of the related award agreements, resulting in additional stock-based compensation expense of $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Restricted Stock Units In June 2020, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company granted time-based RSUs to several executive officers and directors of the Company. The RSUs have a vesting cliff of one year for directors and three years for executive officers after the grant date. Additionally, during 2020, the Company granted time-based RSUs to various employees that vest semi-annually over a three year period or cliff vest over a three or six month period. In addition, for certain technical engineering employees the awards cliff vest after a three year period or vest on the achievement of certain operational milestones. The following table summarizes 2020 RSU activity:

Number of Weighted-Average RSUs Grant Date Fair Value Balance at December 31, 2019 — $ — Granted 5,287,795 31.5 Released 194,306 43.3 Cancelled 66,958 24.9 Balance at December 31, 2020 5,026,531 $ 31.2

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a separation agreement with its former Executive Chairman which resulted in a modification of his time-based RSUs. Prior to the modification, the RSUs were not likely to vest and as a result $0.5 million of previously recorded stock-based compensation expense was reversed during 2020. Subsequent to modification, the RSUs were considered fully vested and the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $16.5 million during the third quarter of 2020.

The fair value of RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

11. Stock-Based Compensation Expense (Continued) The grant date fair value of the Market Based RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility, that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award to calculate the fair value of the award. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant date fair value for these Market Based RSUs:

Year Ended December 31, 2020 Risk-free interest rate 0.2% – 0.3% Expected volatility 70.0% – 85.0%

The total grant date fair value of the Market Based RSUs was determined to be $485.1 million and is recognized over the requisite service period.

During 2020, 4,859,000 Market Based RSUs originally issued to the Company’s former Executive Chairman were cancelled as a part of the former Executive Chairman’s separation agreement and $3.5 million of previously recorded stock-based compensation was reversed. The following table summarizes 2020 market-based RSU activity:

Number of Market Weighted-Average Based RSUs Grant Date Fair Value Balance at December 31, 2019 — — Granted 18,176,712 26.7 Released — — Cancelled 4,859,000 28.5 Balance at December 31, 2020 13,317,712 26.0

12. Retirement Savings Plan The Company sponsored a savings plan available to all eligible employees, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees may contribute to the plan amounts of their pre-tax salary subject to statutory limitations. The Company did not offer and has not provided a company match for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Beginning in 2021, the Company will provide an employer matching contribution for the amount a participant contributes as salary deferrals up to 100% of the amount contributed for the first 1% of the participant’s plan compensation plus 50% for each additional 1% of compensation contributed between 1% and 6% of the participant’s plan compensation.

13. Income Taxes (As Restated) A provision (benefit) for income taxes of $(1.0) million, $0.2 million and ($2.0) million has been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related primarily to changes in indefinite-lived intangible and goodwill deferred tax liabilities.

The components of the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following:

Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Current tax provision Federal $ 36 $ — $ — State 1 1 1 Total current tax provision 37 1 1 Deferred tax provision Federal (492) 43 (1,963) State (571) 107 (40) Total deferred tax provision (1,063) 150 (2,003) Total income tax provision (benefit) $(1,026) $151 $(2,002)

The reconciliation of taxes at the federal statutory rate to our provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Years Ended December 31, 2020 (As Restated) 2019 2018 Tax at statutory federal rate $ (78,098) $(18,586) $(13,922) State tax, net of federal benefit (14,052) (4,649) (2,419) Stock-based compensation (7,652) 556 161 Section 162(m) limitation 1,834 — — Research and development credits, net of uncertain tax position (14,945) (5,915) — Warrant revaluation (2,824) — — Other 408 915 1 Change in valuation allowance 114,303 27,830 14,177 Total income tax provision (benefit) $ (1,026) $ 151 $ (2,002)

NIKOLA CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

13. Income Taxes (As Restated) (Continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following:

As of December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Federal and state income tax credits $ 21,279 $ 6,334 Net operating loss carryforward 132,471 41,444 Start-up costs capitalized 1,490 1,157 Stock-based compensation 8,260 1,816 Tenant allowance — 3,075 Finance lease liability 3,718 — Property and equipment, net 4,069 — Accrued expenses and other — 104 Total deferred tax assets 171,287 53,930 Valuation allowance (162,496) (47,672) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 8,791 6,258 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets (1,020) (3,277) Finance lease asset (7,786) — Property and equipment — (4,053) Other 7 — Total deferred tax liabilities (8,799) (7,330) Deferred tax liabilities, net $ (8) $ (1,072)

In accordance with ASC 740-10, the deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is not more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets can be affected by, among other things, the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the length of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with utilizing operating losses and tax credit carryforwards by jurisdiction, and tax planning alternatives that may be available.

The Company performed an analysis of the reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, and then considered the overall business environment, and the outlook for future years. The Company determined that it is not more likely than not that the benefit from deferred tax assets net of the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities will be realized. Accordingly, the Company recorded valuation allowances of $162.5 million, $47.7 million and $19.8 million at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was primarily due to increase in net operating loss carryforwards and R&D credits.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $11.0 million that begin to expire in 2037 and $518.0 million that have an indefinite carryforward period. The Company has combined state net operating loss carryforwards of $546.8 million at December 31, 2020, that begin to expire in 2037. The Company conducted a change in ownership study as of December 31, 2020, and determined that net operating losses and credits will not expire due to ownership change rules under the Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383. The Company had federal and state tax credits of $19.1 million and $11.4 million,

13. Income Taxes (As Restated) (Continued) respectively, at December 31, 2020, which if unused will begin to expire in 2037 for federal and 2031 for state tax purposes.

The following table reflect changes in the unrecognized tax benefits:

Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the beginning of the year $ 432 $140 $140 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 5,622 292 — Additions based on tax position from prior years 1,338 — — Gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the end of the year $7,392 $432 $140

ASC Topic 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained in a court of last resort, based on the technical merits. If more-likely-than-not, the amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination, including compromise settlements. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, no tax benefit is recorded.

As of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company had $7.4 million, $0.4 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, related to research and experimental tax credits. The Company does not expect a significant change to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next 12 months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties at December 31, 2020 or 2019, and has not recognized interest or penalties during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, since there was no reduction in income taxes paid due to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Arizona, California, Michigan, Tennessee and Utah. As of December 31, 2020, the earliest year subject to examination is 2017 for federal and state tax purposes. In addition, due to the Company’s tax attribute carryforwards, tax authorities will continue to have the ability to adjust loss and tax credit carryforwards even after the statute expires on the year in which the attributes were originally claimed.

14. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Other than as described below, there is no material pending or threatened litigation against the Company that remains outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) review in connection with the Hindenburg article (the “Internal Review”), and Kirkland & Ellis promptly contacted the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to make it aware of the commencement of the Internal Review. The Company subsequently learned that the staff of the Division of Enforcement had previously opened an investigation. On September 14, 2020, the Company and five of its officers and employees, including Mark Russell, our Chief Executive Officer, received subpoenas from the Staff of the Division of Enforcement as a part of a fact- finding inquiry related to aspects of the Company’s business as well as certain matters described in the Hindenburg article. The Staff of the Division of Enforcement issued additional subpoenas to another three of the Company’s officers and employees, including Kim Brady, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on September 21, 2020 and to the Company’s current and former directors on September 30, 2020.

The Company and Mr. Milton also received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY”) on September 19, 2020. On September 20, 2020, Mr. Milton offered to voluntarily step down from his position as Executive Chairman, as a member of the Company’s board of directors, including all committees thereof, and from all positions as an employee and officer of the Company. The board accepted his resignation and appointed Stephen Girsky as Chairman of the board of directors. The Company subsequently has appointed three new board members, Steve Shindler, Bruce Smith and Mary Petrovich.

14. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) The Hindenburg article alleged that Mr. Milton or the Company made a number of statements, which it asserted were inaccurate, including but not limited to the following: 1. in July 2016, the Company stated that it owned rights to natural gas wells, and in August 2016 that the wells were used as a backup to solar hydrogen production; 2. in August 2016, Milton and the Company stated that the Company had engineered a zero emissions truck; 3. in December 2016, Milton stated that the Nikola One was a fully functioning vehicle; 4. that an October 2017 video released by the Company gave the impression the Nikola One was driven; 5. in April 2019, Milton stated that solar panels on the roof of the Company’s headquarters produce approximately 18 megawatts of energy per day; 6. in December 2019 and July 2020, Milton stated that the Company “can produce” over 1,000 kg of hydrogen at the Company’s demo stations and that the Company was “down below” $3/kg at that time; 7. in July 2020, Milton stated that “all major components are done in house”; he made similar statements in June 2020; 8. in July 2020, Milton stated that the inverter software was the most advanced in the world and that other OEMs had asked to use it; and 9. in July 2020, Milton stated that five trucks were “coming off the assembly line” in Ulm, Germany.

The statements listed above were inaccurate in whole or in part, when made. In other respects, the Hindenburg article’s statements about the Company were inaccurate. For example, the Automotive Experts determined that: (1) the Company’s workforce is led by technical and engineering leads that have deep industry experience and expertise; (2) the Company’s technological contributions and development are consistent with other OEMs at similar stages of development; and (3) the Company’s maturity level is consistent with that of an emerging OEM. These findings are inconsistent with the main conclusion of the Hindenburg article that the Company was an “intricate” or “massive fraud”.

In connection with its Internal Review, Kirkland & Ellis has not issued any conclusions, as of the date of this report, as to whether any statements that may have been inaccurate when made violated any statute. Analysis is ongoing to assess, among other matters, whether any such statements were intentional, material, not corrected by other public statements, or harmful to the Company’s stockholders, either before or after our business combination and subsequent public listing in June 2020. Kirkland & Ellis further continues to assess the accuracy of other statements made by the Company, including in its current SEC filings.

The legal and other professional costs the Company incurred during fiscal year 2020 in connection with the Internal Review and disclosed elsewhere in this Report include approximately $8.1 million advanced for Mr. Milton’s attorneys’ fees under his indemnification agreement with the Company, of which $1.5 million was paid during the fiscal year 2020. The Company expects to incur additional costs associated with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations and the Internal Review in fiscal year 2021, which will be expensed as incurred and which could be significant in the periods in which they are recorded.

It is not possible to accurately predict at this time when matters relating to the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations will be completed, the final outcome of the Staff of the Division of Enforcement and the SDNY investigations, what if any actions may be taken by the Staff of the Division of Enforcement, the SDNY or by other governmental agencies, or the effect that such actions may have on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition, which could be material.

Shareholder Securities Litigation Beginning on September 15, 2020, six putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors, asserting violations of federal securities laws under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, in one case, violations of the Unfair Competition Law under California law (the “Shareholder Securities Litigation”). The complaints generally allege that the Company and certain of its officers and directors made false and/or misleading statements in press releases and public filings regarding the Company’s business plan and prospects. The actions are: Borteanu v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 2:20-cv-01797-JZB), filed by Daniel Borteanu in the United States District Court of the District of Arizona on September 15, 2020; Salem v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 1:20-cv-04354), filed by Arab Salem in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on September 16, 2020; Wojichowski v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 2:20-cv-01819-DLR), filed by John Wojichowski in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on September 17, 2020; Malo v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 5:20-cv-02168), filed by Douglas Malo in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on October 16, 2020; and Holzmacher, et al. v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 2:20-cv-2123-JJT), filed by Albert Holzmacher, Michael Wood and Tate Wood in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on November 3, 2020, and Eves v. Nikola Corporation, et al. (Case No. 2:20-cv-02168-DLR), filed by William Eves in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on November 10, 2020. In October 2020, stipulations by and among the parties to extend the time for the defendants to respond to the complaints until a lead plaintiff, lead counsel, and an operative complaint are identified were entered as orders in certain of the filed actions. On November 16, 2020 and December 8, 2020 respectively, orders in the Malo and Salem actions were entered to transfer the actions to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.

14. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) On November 16, 2020, ten motions both to consolidate the pending securities actions and to be appointed as lead plaintiff were filed by putative class members. On December 15, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona consolidated the actions under lead case Borteanu v. Nikola Corporation, et al., No. CV-20-01797-PXL-SPL, and appointed Angelo Baio as the “Lead Plaintiff”. On December 23, 2020, a motion for reconsideration of the Court’s order appointing the Lead Plaintiff was filed. On December 30, 2020, a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to vacate the District Court’s Lead Plaintiff order and directing the court to appoint another Lead Plaintiff was filed before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Case No. 20-73819. Both the motion for reconsideration and mandamus petition remain pending.

On January 28, 2021, the district court entered a scheduling order in the consolidated lawsuit. The Lead Plaintiff’s Amended Consolidated Complaint is due March 15, 2021, the Company’s responsive pleading is due April 29, 2021, the Lead Plaintiff’s opposition to a motion to dismiss, should one be filed by the defendants, is due June 1, 2021, and the defendants’ reply is due July 1, 2021.

On December 18, 2020, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, Huhn v. Milton et al., Case No. 2:20-cv-02437-DWL, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against certain of the Company’s current and former directors alleging breaches of fiduciary duties, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, unjust enrichment, and against defendant Jeff Ubben, a member of the Company’s board of directors, insider selling and misappropriation of information. On January 26, 2021, the Huhn action was stayed until 30 days after the earlier of (a) the Shareholder Securities Litigation being dismissed in its entirety with prejudice; (b) defendants filing an answer to any complaint in the Shareholder Securities Litigation; or (c) a joint request by plaintiff and defendants to lift the stay.

14. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) Books and Record Demands Pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law Section 220 The Company has received a number of demand letters pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), seeking disclosure of certain of the Company’s records. The Company has responded to those demands, stating its belief that the demand letters fail to fully comply with the requirements of Section 220 of the DGCL. However, in the interest of resolution and while preserving all rights of the defendants, the Company has engaged in negotiations with the shareholders, and intends to provide certain information that the Company had reasonably available to it.

Commitments and Contingencies on Land Conveyance In February 2019, the Company was conveyed 430 acres of land in Coolidge, Arizona, by PLH. The purpose of the land conveyance was to incentivize the Company to locate its manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona, and provide additional jobs to the region. The Company is required to commence construction, as defined within the agreement, of the manufacturing facility within two years of February 2019 (the “Manufacturing Facility Commencement Deadline”), and is required to complete construction of the manufacturing facility within five years of February 2019 (the “Manufacturing Facility Deadline”).

Upon the earlier of the Manufacturing Facility Commencement Deadline or the commencement of construction the Company will deposit $4.0 million in escrow to PLH. The amount in escrow will be returned to the Company upon completion of construction. The Company broke ground on the manufacturing facility during the third quarter of 2020 and met the definition of commencement of construction as of September 30, 2020. The required deposit is included within non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets.

If the Company does not exercise the Monthly Payment Option, fails to make timely payments on the Monthly Payment Option, or fails to complete construction by the extended Manufacturing Facility Deadline, PLH is entitled to either the $4.0 million security deposit or may reacquire the land and property at the appraised value to be determined by independent appraisers selected by the Company and PLH.

Contingent Fee for Advisory Services In January 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to obtain advisory services for the potential Business Combination. The fee for the services was contingent upon completion of the Business Combination, which occurred on June 3, 2020. The contingent fee of $3.0 million was paid during the second quarter of 2020.

17. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited) (As Restated) (Continued) Figures may not total due to rounding of quarterly periods As an emerging growth company, the Company elected to take advantage of the extended transition provisions for adoption of ASC 842. As a result, quarterly financial results previously reported by the Company in its unaudited consolidated statement of operations for each of the first three quarterly periods of 2020, were not required to reflect the adoption of ASC 842. These periods were therefore presented using a different basis of accounting than the basis used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2020 annual and unaudited quarterly reporting periods presented in this Form 10-K/A, which reflect the impact of ASC 842, adopted as of January 1, 2020.

Restatement of Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements In lieu of filing amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the following tables represent the Company’s restated consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for each of the restated quarters for the periods ended December 31, September 30, and June 30, 2020.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-5

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: (i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company assumed a warrant liability (the “Warrant Liability”) related to previously issued private warrants in connection with VectoIQ’s initial public offering.

Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company performs a qualitative analysis on December 31, each year to determine if events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The Company is required to test its in-process R&D assets for impairment annually using the guidance for indefinite- lived intangible assets. The Company’s impairment evaluation consists of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the in-process R&D asset is impaired. Factors considered which could trigger a further impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets, the Company’s overall business strategy, and significant industry or macroeconomic trends. If it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, the Company determines the fair value of the in-process R&D asset and records an impairment charge if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.

External costs incurred to renew or extend the term of the identifiable intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The events and circumstances the Company monitors and considers include significant decreases in the market price of similar assets, significant adverse changes to the extent and manner in which the asset is used, an adverse change in legal factors or business climate, an accumulation of costs that exceed the estimated cost to acquire or develop a similar asset, and continuing losses that exceed forecasted costs. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amount of such assets or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flow it expects the assets or asset group to generate. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the sum of the expected long-term undiscounted cash flows that the long-lived asset is expected to generate is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated. An impairment charge would then be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.

(q) Stock-based Compensation The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost and reverses previously recognized costs for unvested awards in the period forfeitures occur. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is impacted by the fair value of common stock, expected price volatility of common stock, expected term, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of market based RSU awards (“Market Based RSUs”) is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility, that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award to calculate the fair value of the award.

Figures may not total due to rounding of quarterly periods As an emerging growth company, the Company elected to take advantage of the extended transition provisions for adoption of ASC 842. As a result, quarterly financial results previously reported by the Company in its unaudited consolidated statement of operations for each of the first three quarterly periods of 2020, were not required to reflect the adoption of ASC 842. These periods were therefore presented using a different basis of accounting than the basis used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2020 annual and unaudited quarterly reporting periods presented in this Form 10-K/A, which reflect the impact of ASC 842, adopted as of January 1, 2020.

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Summary of Significant 3 Months Ended 12 Months Ended Accounting Policies (Policies) Mar. 31, 2021 Dec. 31, 2020 Accounting Policies [Abstract] Basis of Presentation (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the SEC.

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted. Share and per share amounts are presented on a post-conversion basis for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. Principles of Consolidation (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Comprehensive Loss (b) Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income is comprised of currency translation adjustments relating to the Company’s equity method investment whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Use of Estimates (c) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve valuation of the Company’s stock- based compensation, including the fair value of common stock and market-based restricted stock units, the valuation of warrant liabilities, the valuation of the redeemable convertible preferred stock tranche liability, estimates related to the Company’s lease assumptions, and contingent liabilities, including litigation reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment Information (d) Segment Information Under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has two components, the Truck business unit and Energy business unit. The Truck business unit is developing and commercializing hydrogen-electric and battery-electric semi-trucks that provide environmentally friendly, cost effective solutions to the trucking sector. The Energy business unit is developing and constructing a network of hydrogen fueling stations to meet hydrogen fuel demand for its customers. To date, the Company has not entered into production for the above-mentioned business units. Therefore, the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also the CODM, makes decisions and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating and reportable segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Concentration of Credit Risk (e) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash is placed with high- credit-quality financial institutions and issuers, and at times exceeds federally insured limits. The Company limits its concentration of risk in cash equivalents by diversifying its investments among a variety of industries and issuers. The Company has not experienced any credit loss relating to its cash equivalents. Concentration of Supplier Risk (f) Concentration of Supplier Risk The Company is not currently in the production stage and generally utilizes suppliers for outside development and engineering support. The Company does not believe that there is any significant supplier concentration risk during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, or 2018.

A VIE is an entity that has either insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. If the Company is a primary beneficiary of a VIE, it is required to consolidate the entity. To determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company evaluates whether it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the Company. If the Company is not the primary beneficiary and an ownership interest is held in the entity, the interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company continuously assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in changing conclusions.

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Building 12 years Leases (l) Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. This determination depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if the Company obtains the right to direct the use of and obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company classifies leases with contractual terms greater than 12 months as either operating or finance.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s only leasing arrangement with a term greater than 12 months was for the Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. This leasing arrangement was previously classified as a built-to-suit arrangement, for which construction had been completed prior to the adoption of ASC 842, effective January 1, 2020. For purposes of applying ASC 842’s transition provisions, the Company elected to first assess lease classification for the arrangement at lease inception under previous lease accounting guidance (ASC 840), and then apply ASC 842’s transition provisions based on those assessments. The Company derecognized the assets and liabilities associated with the built-to-suit arrangement for transitional purposes and recognized a finance lease asset and finance lease liability pursuant to the classification designation determined in the ASC 840 reassessment. The finance lease asset is included in “Property and equipment, net” and the short and long-term portions of finance lease liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Finance lease liabilities”, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5, Leases, for additional discussion. Goodwill and Intangible Assets (m) Goodwill The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of the goodwill impairment test, which is performed annually. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company performs a qualitative analysis on December 31, each year to determine if events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

Copyright © 2021 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document generate. An impairment charge would then be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair-market value of the asset.

There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Long-Lived Assets and Finite Lived Intangibles (o) Long-Lived Assets and Finite Lived Intangibles The Company has finite lived intangible assets consisting of licenses and tradenames. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining economic lives. Trademarks are amortized over twelve years and included in research and development expense, or selling, general, and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations. Licenses are amortized over five to seven years and included in selling, general, and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The events and circumstances the Company monitors and considers include significant decreases in the market price of similar assets, significant adverse changes to the extent and manner in which the asset is used, an adverse change in legal factors or business climate, an accumulation of costs that exceed the estimated cost to acquire or develop a similar asset, and continuing losses that exceed forecasted costs. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amount of such assets or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flow it expects the assets or asset group to generate. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the sum of the expected long-term undiscounted cash flows that the long-lived asset is expected to generate is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated. An impairment charge would then be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company ceased use of its Powersports business unit and recorded an impairment charge for certain of its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles related to the Powersports business unit for the year ended December 31, 2020. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 4, Balance Sheet Components, and Note 6, Intangible Assets, Net, for further discussion. Income Taxes (p) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are accounted for using the more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement. Stock-based Compensation (q) Stock-based Compensation The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost and reverses previously recognized costs for unvested awards in the period forfeitures occur. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is impacted by the fair value of common stock, expected price volatility of common stock, expected term, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of market based RSU awards (“Market Based RSUs”) is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility, that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award to calculate the fair value of the award. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant (r) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability Liability The Company has issued freestanding warrants to purchase shares of its Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock that are classified outside of permanent equity. As such these warrants were recorded at fair value, and subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet

Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document date until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants or the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion of an initial public offering. Upon exercise, the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Revenue Recognition (s) Warrant Liability (As Restated) The Company may issue common stock warrants with debt, equity or as a standalone financing instruments that are recorded as either liabilities or equity in accordance with the respective accounting guidance. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at their relative fair value determined at the issuance date and remeasurement is not required. Warrants recorded as liabilities are recorded at their fair value, within warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets, and remeasured on each reporting date with changes recorded in revaluation of warrant liability on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

(u) Cost of Solar Revenues Cost of solar revenues includes materials, labor, and other direct costs related to solar installation projects. The Company recognizes cost of solar revenues in the period that revenues are recognized. Solar installation projects are not part of the Company’s primary operations and were concluded in 2020. Research and Development (v) Research and Development Expense Expense Research and development expense consist of outsourced engineering services, allocated facilities costs, depreciation, internal engineering and development expenses, materials, labor and stock-based compensation related to development of the Company’s products and services. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (w) Selling, General, and Administrative Expense Selling, general, and administrative expense consist of personnel costs, allocated facilities expenses, depreciation and amortization, travel, and advertising costs.

Advertising expense is expensed as incurred and was $0.7 million, $2.5 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Advertising Expense Advertising expense is expensed as incurred and was $0.7 million, $2.5 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Other Income (Expense) (x) Other Income (Expense) Other income (expense) consist of grant income received from the government, foreign currency gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Grant income is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match the income on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.8 million of foreign currency losses. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, foreign currency gains and losses were immaterial. Net Loss Per Share (y) Net Loss Per Share (As Restated) Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
