Nikola Corporation
Form 10-K/A
(Amendment No. 1)
For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Nikola Corporation (the “Company”, "we", "us" or "our") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2024 (the “Original Filing”).
This Amendment is being filed to revise Part II “Item 9B. Other Information” by adding information regarding Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements terminated and adopted by certain of its officers during the three month period ended December 31, 2023, which was inadvertently omitted from the Original Filing.
In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), a new certification by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer is filed herewith as Exhibit 31.2 to this Amendment under Item 15, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certification has been omitted. The Company is also not including new certifications under Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350) (Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.
Other than as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate the information in the Original Filing or reflect any events that have occurred after the Original Filing was made. Information not affected by this Amendment remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time as of which the Original Filing was made. This Amendment should be read together with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

Item 9B. Other Information
(b) Trading Plans
During the three months ended December 31, 2023, no director or officer adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of securities of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1(c) or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K), except as provided below:
Joseph R. Pike, our Chief Human Resources Officer, on November 9, 2023, terminated his Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement adopted on August 9, 2023. No sales were made under such plan prior to its termination. On November 9, 2023, Mr. Pike adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement which provides for the potential sale of up to 119,063 shares of common stock and up to 126,695 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options through March 3, 2025. This trading arrangement is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.
Britton M. Worthen, our Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, on November 9, 2023, terminated his Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement adopted on August 8, 2023. No sales were made under such plan prior to its termination. On November 15, 2023, Mr. Worthen adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement which provides for the potential sale of up to 178,594 shares of common stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options through December 31, 2024. This trading arrangement is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.
Anastasiya Pasterick, our former Chief Financial Officer, on November 20, 2023, terminated her Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement adopted on August 22, 2023. No sales were made under such plan prior to its termination.
