Two companies previously reached an agreement in September worth at least $2 billion to allow GM to engineer and produce both electric and fuel version of Nikola Badger pickup truck.
In exchange, General Motors was due to receive $2 billion worth of Nikola stock, which translates into an 11% stake in the company. Deadline to close the deal expires at December 03.
However, the deal was put into jeopardy after a report from Hindenburg Research accused Nikola and its co-founder Trevor Milton of fraudulent behaviour. As a result, Milton stepped down as chairman of the company.
Nikola share price closed 15.39% higher yesterday to trade at the highest levels in seven weeks. Shares are also up 2.5% in pre-market Thursday.
