Why should I tender my shares?

 

  •  

In order for Nikola to complete the Offer, a majority of outstanding shares of Romeo common stock are required to be tendered.

 

  •  

The Romeo Board of Directors believes that this transaction offers the best opportunity for its stockholders to participate in the ongoing growth of Nikola and, indirectly, Romeo, including any potential appreciation that may be reflected in the value of the combined company (including any resulting synergies).

 

  •  

Romeo’s Board of Directors unanimously determined that, after a comprehensive evaluation of strategic alternatives, the Merger Agreement is in the best interest of Romeo and its stockholders. As such, the Romeo Board recommends that Romeo stockholders tender their shares pursuant to the Offer. The recommendation is more completely described in Romeo’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 previously filed by Romeo with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2022, as amended.

What happens if I don’t tender my shares?

 

  •  

If a majority of the outstanding shares of Romeo common stock are not tendered, the Offer cannot be completed by Nikola.

That is why it is very important that stockholders who wish to participate in the Offer do so as soon as possible.

What is an exchange ratio?

 

  •  

The fraction of a share of Nikola common stock into which each such share of Romeo common stock will be converted is referred to as the exchange ratio.
