(“Fisker”), today announced that it has voluntarily filed to open a restructuring proceeding via self- administration under the Austrian Insolvency Code.

Fisker Austria intends to continue delivering its vehicles to customers to the extent possible, providing service, and updating its over-the-air software as it moves through the restructuring proceedings.
