Electric-car maker Fisker will go public through a merger with a blank check company backed by private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc at a $2.9 billion valuation, the companies said on Monday.
Reuters reported last week that the special purpose acquisition company, Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp, was leading a bidding war among blank-check companies for Fisker.
The proceeds are expected to be used to bring the company's first product, the Fisker Ocean, to production in late-2022.
