PHOENIX – July 8, 2022 -- Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy infrastructure solutions, encourages all stockholders to vote now FOR Proposal 2 before the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on July 18, 2022.

◦If you are a Robinhood holder, you can vote your shares at www.proxypush.com and follow the instructions you have received.

Approving Proposal 2 is very important, as it will allow Nikola to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock from 600 million to 800 million, which will provide Nikola flexibility to support the future growth and development of the business. Nikola stockholders have voted overwhelmingly in favor of Proposal 2. However, the Company is less than 2% short of the outstanding shares needed to be voted in favor for Proposal 2 to pass, so Nikola has adjourned the meeting to allow stockholders additional time to vote.

The 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held virtually on Monday, July 18, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Nikola encourages all stockholders of record at the close of business on April 4, 2022, to vote their shares by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 17, 2022, even if they no longer own them.
