En una declaraci\u00f3n ante la SEC, la empresa emergente de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos Lordstown Motors advierte de que puede quebrar, con el tel\u00f3n de fondo de que el fabricante por contrato Foxconn se ha retirado de un acuerdo crucial. Y tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 la propia cotizaci\u00f3n de Lordstown.<\/p>\n
++ Este art\u00edculo ha sido actualizado; siga leyendo a continuaci\u00f3n. ++<\/em><\/p>\n Lordstown hab\u00eda recibido una carta de Foxconn en la que se afirmaba que la start-up hab\u00eda incumplido un contrato de inversi\u00f3n porque el valor de sus acciones hab\u00eda ca\u00eddo por debajo de un d\u00f3lar estadounidense por acci\u00f3n durante 30 d\u00edas consecutivos de cotizaci\u00f3n, lo que provoc\u00f3 una notificaci\u00f3n de exclusi\u00f3n de la bolsa estadounidense Nasdaq. En otras palabras, seg\u00fan las normas del Nasdaq, Lordstown tendr\u00eda que ser excluida de la cotizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Foxconn y Lordstown hab\u00edan llegado a un acuerdo en noviembre de 2022<\/a> seg\u00fan el cual Foxconn invertir\u00eda hasta $170 millones (154 millones de euros) en la startup estadounidense, lo que supone una participaci\u00f3n de casi 20%. Foxconn pag\u00f3 los primeros $52,7 millones (47,75 millones de euros) adeudados el a\u00f1o pasado. Pero a la luz de la notificaci\u00f3n de exclusi\u00f3n de cotizaci\u00f3n del Nasdaq, los nuevos pagos de Foxconn corren peligro y podr\u00edan desembocar en la insolvencia.<\/p>\n A\u00fan as\u00ed, seg\u00fan los t\u00e9rminos del acuerdo original, Foxconn debe invertir $47,3 millones en un plazo de diez d\u00edas a partir de la aprobaci\u00f3n reglamentaria del Comit\u00e9 de Inversiones Extranjeras en Estados Unidos. Seg\u00fan Lordstown, esa aprobaci\u00f3n se obtuvo el 25 de abril, lo que significa que Foxconn debe realizar esa inversi\u00f3n antes del 8 de mayo.<\/p>\n Las dos empresas tambi\u00e9n hab\u00edan acordado completar conjuntamente un plan para desarrollar un nuevo veh\u00edculo el\u00e9ctrico antes del 7 de mayo. Seg\u00fan un informe, Foxconn tambi\u00e9n se habr\u00eda comprometido a invertir otros $70 millones de d\u00f3lares (63,4 millones de euros). Seg\u00fan Lordstown, este plan a\u00fan no se ha finalizado porque Foxconn no est\u00e1 haciendo \"esfuerzos comercialmente razonables\" para completarlo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" En una presentaci\u00f3n ante la SEC, la start-up de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos Lordstown Motors advierte de que puede quebrar en un contexto en el que el fabricante por contrato Foxconn se aleja de<\/p>","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":183214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9930],"tags":[3369,19644,7405,14969,609],"class_list":["post-195804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automobile","tag-foxconn","tag-lordstown-motors","tag-startup","tag-stock-market","tag-usa"],"acf":{"inhalt_teil2":" In a statement to CNBC<\/em>, Lordstown added that Foxconn’s actions are “completely unwarranted” and have resulted in “material – and what is becoming irreparable – harm to the company.”<\/p>\n Lordstown warned in the filing that it might be forced to file for bankruptcy protection if the Foxconn deal falls through. The company still had $221.7 million as of the end of 2022, but it lost over $100 million in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n It is also not the first time the startup has been plagued with financial difficulty. The Foxconn deal came a year after the Taiwanese manufacturer bought the Lordstown factory in Ohio<\/a>. Production of the Endurance e-pickup truck under Foxconn’s direction started in September 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n The dispute between Foxconn and Lordstown keeps brewing. The startup has threatened legal action in its latest SEC filing. Lordstown said if Foxconn fails to hold up its investment commitment, “the company will be deprived of critical funding” and may have no choice but to declare bankruptcy.<\/p>\n What is new is that Lordstown has announced a 1 for 15 reverse stock split to boost the share price and get it back above the $1 min since the news broke as above.<\/p>\n While there seems to be no word from Foxconn, in its most recent filing, Lordstown said it believed that “Foxconn’s various breaches of the Investment Agreement and pattern of bad faith have caused material and irreparable harm to the company. Absent a prompt resolution, the company intends to enforce its rights through litigation.”<\/p>\n Lordstown further considers its ability to obtain additional financing “extremely limited” in the current market. And capital will be required to bring the Endurance pickup to market as planned.<\/p>\n cnbc.com<\/a>, lordstownmotors.com<\/a>, electrek.co<\/a> (Update June ’23)<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195804"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":290214,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195804\/revisions\/290214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Update 15 June 2023<\/h3>\n
