Arrival, whose shares fell more than 2% in extended trading, had said in April it would merge with blank-check firm Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp V to raise cash.

EV firms have been experiencing a cash problem over the past few months, as high costs related to production ramp-ups and soaring inflation eat into their reserves.

Arrival said in May that it expects to report one or more material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
