• Company is in its strongest financial position ever, with over $235 million in cash and cash equivalents, representing approximately 2 years of operating capital

BREA, Calif., June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, announces today that on June 23, 2023, its Series D investors exercised their final option, expiring June 30, for $100 million.

The exercise of the option has resulted in additional funding to the Company of $100 million. The Company now has more than $235 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet, recognizing that this amount is after the Company has expended $253 million-plus for two completed acquisitions that added valuable, unencumbered assets to the balance sheet for the majority ownership in Bollinger Motors and certain assets related to Electric Last Mile Solutions (“ELMS”). With the exception of $7.3 million of outstanding debt, all Company-owned real estate and other assets are unencumbered.

“We are in the best financial position in our Company’s history and remain fully committed and highly focused on producing, selling and delivering our vehicles to our customers prior to the end of 2023,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.
