GigCapital3, Inc. (“GigCapital3”) (NYSE: GIK, GIK.U, and GIK.WS) announced that its stockholders approved all proposals related to the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Lightning eMotors at a special meeting of stockholders held on April 21, 2021. More than 98% of the votes cast at the meeting on the Business Combination proposal, representing approximately 56% of GigCapital3’s outstanding shares, voted to approve the Business Combination. A Form 8-K disclosing the full voting results is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The parties are working to finalize the closing date of the Business Combination. Following closing, the combined company will be known as Lightning eMotors Inc. and its common stock and warrants will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the new symbols “ZEV” and “ZEV.WS”, respectively. At the closing of the Business Combination, each existing GigCapital3 unit will separate into its components consisting of one share of common stock under the new symbol “ZEV” and three-quarters of one warrant under the new symbol “ZEV.WS” and, as a result, the GigCapital3 units will no longer trade as a separate security.

GigCapital3 has received elections to redeem approximately 29% of its outstanding shares, which will leave approximately $143 million in the trust account. After the redemptions and prior to payment of transaction expenses, Lightning eMotors expects to receive approximately $268 million in gross proceeds at the time of the Business Combination, which includes $125 million in expected gross proceeds from the issuance of equity and convertible financings in a Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transaction, including a commitment from BP Technology Ventures and other leading institutional investors.
