Risks associated with investment

Stock recommendation

Recently, the company announced acquiring “Proterra” through a reverse merger that will result in Proterra becoming a public company, but at present, various legal entities are busy in investigating the company regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of ArcLight Clean Transition Corp in connection with this proposed merger draws a caution line with the investors. Hence, given the above fact, we prefer to remain on the sideline. Hence, we recommend investors to “Avoid” the stock at the closing price of USD 26.5 on February 2, 2021.
