The ticker symbols for the common stock and warrants of Northern Genesis 2 will change from “NGAB” and “NGAB.WS” to “EMBK” and “EMBKW”, respectively. The transaction was approved at a special meeting of Northern Genesis 2 stockholders on November 9, 2021 and was unanimously approved by Northern Genesis 2’s Board of Directors.
The closing of the business combination caps a momentous year for Embark as the company seeks to continue to develop industry-leading autonomous truck technology. Since March 2021, Embark marked milestones across key business priorities:
Alex Rodrigues, Co-Founder and CEO of Embark added, "We are thrilled to reach this important milestone and become a public company to further our mission of evolving the trucking industry, and using autonomous software to create a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable freight ecosystem. Embark’s co-founder and CTO, Brandon Moak, and I are incredibly proud of what our team has achieved, and we remain focused on delivering against key strategic initiatives to commercialize our technology and achieve key technical milestones. We remain differentiated as America’s longest running self-driving truck program with an asset-light go-to-market strategy, our proprietary patent-pending Vision Map Fusion technology, and our carrier-friendly, platform- agnostic Embark Universal Interface approach. We believe that the capital raised in this transaction will help us achieve our commercialization plans to bring self-driving trucks to the U.S. Sunbelt in 2024."
"Embark has a strong group of shareholders who are excited to support its mission to create a better trucking industry,” said Ian Robertson, Director and CEO of Northern Genesis 2. “I look forward to being a member of the Board of Directors and working with management of Embark as it starts this next stage of its life as a public company."
