Electric Last Mile Solutions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
EV start-up Electric Last Mile Solutions said late Sunday it plans to file for bankruptcy less than a year after it went public via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company.<\/p>\n
The Michigan-based maker of electric commercial vans said in a release that interim CEO Shauna McIntyre and its board of directors decided on Sunday to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, which will allow it to liquidate its assets, after a “comprehensive review of the company’s products and commercialization plans “turned up no better option for stakeholders.<\/p>\n
ELMS’s public offering, in late June 2021, came amid a wave of SPAC deals that took EV makers public. The company is the first of those post-SPAC EV makers to say that it will declare bankruptcy.<\/p>\n
McIntyre has served as interim CEO since February, when founder Jason Luo and then-CEO Jim Taylor left the struggling start-up after an internal investigation found that the company’s past financial statements were unreliable.<\/p>\n
ELMS said in a statement that those executive departures, and a related investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, had made it “extremely challenging” to secure additional funding. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
