Volcon Inc. (NASDAQ:VLCN), a manufacturer of electric vehicles with a market capitalization of $2.23 million, has entered into a settlement agreement with GLV Ventures, terminating their existing supplier agreements and initiating a monthly termination fee. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 2.07, despite recent operational challenges. Concurrently, the company has appointed Orn Olason as an independent member of its Board of Directors.
On Thursday, Volcon announced the settlement with GLV Ventures, effectively ending three supplier agreements related to the development and manufacturing of the Volcon Stag vehicle prototypes and the Grunt EVO motorcycle.
As part of the agreement, Volcon has agreed to indemnify GLV for certain vendor payables and will pay a termination fee of $125,000 per month over twenty-two months. While the company holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, InvestingPro analysis indicates it's quickly burning through cash reserves.
In a separate development on Wednesday, Volcon's Board of Directors appointed Orn Olason as an independent director. Olason's compensation includes an annual cash fee of $50,000 and an option to purchase company common stock valued at $100,000, vesting over one year. The stock option grant is contingent upon shareholder approval of an increase in the available shares under the Volcon 2021 Stock Plan.
Volcon's recent corporate actions follow the company's strategic review of its operations and governance. The settlement concludes outstanding obligations with GLV Ventures, while the addition of Olason aims to strengthen the company's leadership with his independent perspective.
