Polestar automotive Holding UK Plc investors sued billionaire alec gores and other architects of its blank-check merger, claiming they duped investors into a disastrous deal that gave insiders a windfall.

The lawsuit targets former backers of Gores Guggenheim, the SPAC that combined with Polestar affiliates to take the electric vehicle business public in June 2022. Polestar was previously a subsidiary of Volvo Car AB, the Swedish automaker owned by china‘s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.

Polestar raised approximately $890 million gross proceeds on the deal through a combination of a fully committed PIPE and the SPAC’s cash in trust.

Share redemptions ahead of the vote amounted to about 20% of the outstanding stock.
