# Lordstown Motors files Delaware petition to validate 200M share increase amid capitalization uncertainty

## Summary
- Received stockholder letter on Mar 24, 2022 challenging 200M share Class A increase approved at Oct 2020 special meeting.
- Company had concluded separate class vote not required based on Delaware counsel opinion; recent Chancery decision created doubt.
- Filed Section 205 petition in Delaware Court of Chancery to validate the 2020 amendment and all shares issued thereunder.
- If petition denied, capitalization uncertainty could materially harm ability to close Foxconn funding transactions and raise capital.
- Board reviewed with outside counsel; believes amendment valid but seeks judicial resolution to eliminate uncertainty.
