A U.K. company that makes electric and hydrogen electric trucks is threatening to sue ElectraMeccanica for $75 million for withdrawing from a proposed merger.
But ElectraMeccanica decided to back out of the deal in early October, citing “multiple incurable breaches of the agreement by Tevva, including failures by Tevva to disclose to ElectraMeccanica material information about Tevva.” It seeks “redress for the improper and unmerited purported termination of the binding merger arrangement agreement with Tevva.”
Tevva says the lawsuit “exposes how EMV offered spurious, defamatory allegations in a thinly-veiled attempt to justify its abrupt termination of a binding merger agreement with Tevva – a merger agreement that was the product of thousands of hours of time spent by both parties evaluating and structuring a mutually beneficial business combination.”
