By: Nxu Inc. via GlobeNewswire

MESA, Ariz., April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nxu, Inc., (NASDAQ: NXU) (“Nxu”, “the Company”), a domestic technology company focused on energy storage and charging solutions for the infrastructure we need to power our electrified future, today announced it is progressing towards closing its merger with Verde Bioresins, Inc. (“Verde”). On February 11, 2025, approximately 99% of the votes cast by Nxu’s shareholders approved the issuance of shares of Nxu common stock in connection with and change of control resulting from the contemplated merger, and both Nxu and Verde have been through remaining closing items. Completion of the merger is subject to satisfaction of conditions, including Nasdaq approval.

“We have been working through the necessary technicalities closely with both Verde and Nasdaq’s listing department, and we intend to close very soon,” said Mark Hanchett, Chairman and CEO at Nxu. “Completing the recent reverse stock split was a key open item required to position the combined company for success upon close.”

Verde’s President Brian Gordon added, “We are in the final innings of this transaction and eager to complete the merger. We continue to experience customer adoption, evident in our recently announced partnership with Happy Campers, a leader in gluten-free organic baked goods. The completion of the merger will provide us with access to the public markets, which will potentially allow us to scale our company at a pace not previously available to us.”
