(the &#8220;Company&#8221;) currently plans to hold its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June&#160;16, 2021. Shareholders of record at the close of business on Friday, April 23, 2021 will be entitled to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The time and location of the Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company&#8217;s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</p><p style="background-color:#ffffff;font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:24.5pt;margin:0pt;">Pursuant to the provisions of the Company&#8217;s Amended and Restated Bylaws, for any stockholder to propose business (other than pursuant to and in compliance with Exchange Act Rule&#160;14a-8)&#160;or make a nomination before the annual meeting, the stockholder must deliver notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the first anniversary date of the preceding year&#8217;s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the annual meeting and not later than the later of (x)&#160;the close of business on the 90th day before the annual meeting or (y)&#160;the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Company. Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting last year, the Company has determined that the date by which stockholders must deliver such notice for the purposes of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is May 3, 2021, which is 10 days after the filing of this Current Report on Form&#160;8-K.&#160;Pursuant to Rule&#160;14a-8,&#160;for a stockholder to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company&#8217;s proxy materials for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholder must comply with the requirements set forth in Rule&#160;14a-8&#160;including with respect to the subject matter of such proposal and must deliver the proposal and all required documentation to the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials for the meeting. For the purposes of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company has determined that May 3, 2021 is a reasonable time before the Company plans to begin printing and mailing its proxy materials. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the 2021 Annual Meeting date will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for giving such notice under the Amended and Restated Bylaws or submitting a proposal pursuant to&#160;Rule&#160;14a-8.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><a id="_60116a57_dfd0_4cd7_98ea_e4cc9ec0c580"></a></div></div>

Item 8.01   Other Events
Canoo Inc. (the "Company") currently plans to hold its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 16, 2021. Shareholders of record at the close of business on Friday, April 23, 2021 will be entitled to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The time and location of the Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws, for any stockholder to propose business (other than pursuant to and in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 14a-8) or make a nomination before the annual meeting, the stockholder must deliver notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the first anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the annual meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the annual meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Company. Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting last year, the Company has determined that the date by which stockholders must deliver such notice for the purposes of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is May 3, 2021, which is 10 days after the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8, for a stockholder to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholder must comply with the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 including with respect to the subject matter of such proposal and must deliver the proposal and all required documentation to the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials for the meeting. For the purposes of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company has determined that May 3, 2021 is a reasonable time before the Company plans to begin printing and mailing its proxy materials. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the 2021 Annual Meeting date will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for giving such notice under the Amended and Restated Bylaws or submitting a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8.
