Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) is currently down 17% and climbing in pre-market trading. The tumble follows certain filings made by the company this morning related to an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It appears that Lucid is the latest SPAC, or special purpose acquisition corporation, transaction being investigated by regulators. The firm this morning indicated that on December 3, the company received a subpoena from the SEC.
Specifically, the company has indicated the subpoena is related to “the business combination between the Company (f/k/a Churchill Capital Corp. IV) and Atieva, Inc.” Atieva is the name under which Lucid was originally incorporated back in 2007.
