The CEO of Canoo, Anthony Aquila, is buying nearly all of the defunct EV startup's assets out of bankruptcy for $4 million in cash.
The sale also eliminates the over $11 million debt Canoo owed to Aquila's financial firm.
Canoo filed for bankruptcy liquidation six weeks ago and had around $145 million in assets and $175 million in liabilities as of February 24.
Aquila's new entity, WHS Energy Solutions, Inc., will receive Canoo's manufacturing equipment, completed vehicles, intellectual property, and other assets.
