Additionally, Brian Krzanich replaces Jason Luo as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. Luo resigned, along with Taylor, as a result of an investigation by a Special Committee of the Board into certain sales of equity shares.

The investigation found that Taylor and Luo directly or indirectly purchased and sold the company’s equity, in November and December 2020, at significant discounts to market value.

Taylor and Luo will continue to work with the EV maker in consulting roles.
