Phoenix, Arizona-based Nikola entered into a share deal with Tumim, according to a filing earlier in June. Under the agreement, Tumim had committed to purchase up to $300 million of Nikola’s common stock.

Since entering into the first agreement, Nikola has issued nearly $47 million of common stock to Tumim.

New York-based investor 3i (LON:III) is the manager and general partner of Tumim Stone Capital.

“The equity lines with Tumim, together with estimated cash and cash equivalents, will provide Nikola with access to approximately $800 million of liquidity at the end of 2021,” Nikola Chief Executive Officer Mark Russell said in a statement.
