​”Only holders of our common stock and preferred stock of record at the close of business on June 2, 2022, will be entitled to vote and participate at the Meeting and any postponements, adjournments or continuations thereof”, Mullen clarified.

Last week, Mullen CEO David Michery had told to Benzinga that he was “comfortable that we [Mullen] have enough cash to get us through 2022 as previously stated. Our plan does call to a $1.3B spent which is half as much as mos of these guys will spend to start the production.”

Michery added that the company “believes that our plan is the most efficient, we have a facility already and if we obviously, like the most companies in our position today, raise capital is through the sale of their security. And that’s the reason for being public. We will raise additional capital, we have to like everybody else has to, like Tesla and they are a $800b market cap company”.

As time goes on and as your stock strengthens you can make better deals and each deal to be better than the next deal but that’s a part of being able to execute your plan. One of the concerns that a lot of the investors had in the past looking at their balance sheet was how do they’re going to fund this plan? Obviously now there’s a solution for us as we get more activity, as the company deliveries product and as the company expands its operations so the ability to raise additional capital for favourable rates to execute on its plan. Ultimately, our plan is the most efficient plan out there.”

As initially reported by EV, Mullen will join Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 Indexes in late June. CEO David Michery said that the inclusion in the Russell Indexes “will bring great visibility within the institutional investment community”.

Mullen CEO David Michery was featured on Friday’s episode of Benzinga’s All Access Series to give additional information on the battery testing results and the upcoming plans for the company. After being interviewed on Risk On Live podcast earlier in the week, Michery unveiled on Friday that the company “started negotiations with a couple of major OEMs” regarding Mullen’s battery technology.
