Analysis · ELVA · Manufacturing
In a move that could reshape its future, Electrovaya granted Amazon warrants to purchase up to 13.88 million shares at US$8.56 — a 31% discount to the current $12.33 stock price — in exchange for a commercial agreement that may generate up to US$280 million in cumulative purchases.
