Company Description
Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (BINI) is an electric vehicle manufacturer in the auto manufacturers industry within the consumer cyclical sector. According to multiple company news releases and SEC filings, Bollinger Innovations focuses on commercial electric vehicles (EVs), with activity centered on Classes 1, 3 and 4 commercial trucks and vans used for urban delivery and utility applications.
The company describes itself as a Southern California-based automotive company building the next generation of commercial EVs, with a U.S.-based vehicle manufacturing facility in Tunica, Mississippi. Its commercial EV lineup, as detailed in several press releases, includes:
- The Mullen ONE, a Class 1 urban delivery EV cargo van.
- The Mullen THREE, a Class 3 urban utility EV cab chassis truck purpose-built for urban last-mile delivery and service.
- The Bollinger B4 chassis cab, an all-electric Class 4 commercial truck designed from the ground up with extensive fleet and upfitter input.
The company states that all of these vehicles are available for sale in the United States and are in full compliance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the Environmental Protection Agency, and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certifications, which denote adherence to clean air emissions standards. These vehicles are positioned for urban last‑mile delivery, service fleets and other commercial operations, as reflected in repeated references to last‑mile logistics and fleet applications in its news releases.
Business focus and commercial network
Bollinger Innovations’ business, as described in its news and filings, centers on the manufacturing, sale and service of commercial EV products. The company reports that it operates a commercial dealer network of six dealers, including Papé Kenworth, Pritchard EV, National Auto Fleet Group, Ziegler Truck Group, Range Truck Group and Randy Marion Auto Group. Through these dealers, the company notes that it has sales and service coverage in key regions such as the West Coast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, New England and Mid‑Atlantic markets.
In addition to its dealer network, Bollinger Innovations highlights Bollinger Motors, based in Oak Park, Michigan, as an established EV truck company within the Bollinger Innovations group. Bollinger Motors is credited in company communications with milestones such as the B4 Class 4 electric truck production launch on September 16, 2024 and the development of a dealer network with over 50 locations across the United States for sales and service support.
Market activity and customers
Company press releases describe sales of Class 1, 3 and 4 commercial EVs to various fleet and logistics customers. Examples include:
- A sale of 30 commercial EVs (Class 1, 3 and 4) to Ziegler Truck Group, Range Truck Group, DB Schenker and Larsen Enterprises, invoiced at over $1 million.
- An agreement with Ariel Fleet Holdings to provide Mullen THREE and Mullen ONE vehicles for deployment by FedEx Independent Service Providers in North Carolina, Virginia and the surrounding Mid‑Atlantic region.
- Deliveries of Bollinger B4 trucks to organizations such as The Lower East Side Ecology Center in New York City and EnviroCharge, as described in the company’s quarterly update.
These disclosures indicate that Bollinger Innovations targets commercial fleet operators, logistics providers and last‑mile delivery companies that are adopting electric vehicles for work and delivery tasks. The company also references ride‑and‑drive events and participation in industry expos as part of its efforts to increase awareness in commercial fleet verticals.
Corporate structure, branding and manufacturing footprint
In an 8‑K and related news releases, Bollinger Innovations reports that it combined its commercial EV brands under one unified company name, Bollinger Innovations, Inc. and that it rebranded under the Bollinger Innovations name. The company notes that it has undertaken a consolidation of operations, including:
- Moving Bollinger B4 manufacturing from a third‑party manufacturer (Roush Industries in Michigan) to its company‑owned plant in Tunica, Mississippi.
- Reducing facilities and personnel in locations such as Irvine, California; Monrovia, California; and Mishawaka, Indiana.
- Further staff reductions and other cost‑cutting actions aimed at lowering its operating expense burn rate.
In a later 8‑K, the company discloses a cost‑reduction plan that includes workforce reductions and the closure of its Troy, Michigan office, with remaining staff consolidated into its Oak Park facility. As part of this restructuring, the company began notifying its dealer network of changes to its support model, including the discontinuation of factory service and warranty support and the consolidation of operations into a single Oak Park location, while evaluating potential dealer‑driven programs relating to parts and vehicle purchases.
Capital structure, financing and registration
Bollinger Innovations’ SEC filings provide detail on its capital structure and financing arrangements. In an 8‑K dated September 18, 2025, the company describes entering into a securities purchase agreement for 5% original issue discount secured notes convertible into common stock, along with five‑year warrants. The notes bear interest at 15% per annum, are secured by a security interest in the company’s assets, and include conversion price mechanics tied to market prices, subject to specified price floors.
The same filing outlines warrants exercisable for shares of common stock, with provisions for cashless exercise using a Black‑Scholes‑based formula and anti‑dilution adjustments in the event of dilutive issuances. The company agrees to reserve a number of authorized and unissued shares equal to 250% of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants, and it describes various events of default and related remedies.
In an S‑1/A registration statement filed on September 19, 2025, Bollinger Innovations registers up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for resale by selling stockholders. The prospectus explains that these shares are issuable upon conversion of notes and preferred stock (Series F and Series G) and upon exercise of warrants. The filing notes that, as of September 18, 2025, the aggregate principal and interest of notes, warrants, and preferred stock held by the selling stockholders represented a very high potential beneficial ownership of the company’s common stock, and that the number of shares issuable could increase as the stock price declines, subject to specified floors and beneficial ownership caps.
Exchange listing, delisting and OTC trading
Bollinger Innovations’ common stock historically traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol BINI. An 8‑K dated October 10, 2025 reports that the company received a Nasdaq delisting notice related to non‑compliance with the market value of listed securities requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). After initially requesting a hearing, the company withdrew its request, and Nasdaq staff notified the company that trading in its securities would be suspended at the open of trading on October 13, 2025.
The same 8‑K states that, effective October 13, 2025, the company’s common stock would commence trading on the OTCID market of the OTC Markets and continue under the ticker symbol BINI, with the company remaining subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
A subsequent news release dated October 9, 2025 reiterates that Bollinger Innovations’ common stock will commence trading on the OTCID market on October 13, 2025 and explains that the move to OTC Markets follows the company’s withdrawal from the Nasdaq hearings process. The company states that it views OTC Markets as a more flexible and cost‑effective platform with lower listing costs and that it expects the transition to allow it to allocate financial resources toward its commercial EV business.
On January 8, 2026, a Form 25‑NSE was filed by Nasdaq Stock Market LLC with the SEC, serving as a notification of removal from listing and/or registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act for Bollinger Innovations’ common stock. This filing confirms the formal delisting of BINI from Nasdaq. The Form 25 identifies Bollinger Innovations, Inc. as the issuer and Nasdaq Stock Market LLC as the exchange and relates to the company’s common stock.
Corporate actions and shareholder approvals
Bollinger Innovations’ SEC reports describe several corporate actions involving its common and preferred stock. An 8‑K dated September 11, 2025 reports that stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the company’s outstanding common stock at an exchange ratio between 1‑for‑2 and 1‑for‑250, as determined by the board of directors. A subsequent press release dated September 18, 2025 states that the board approved a 1‑for‑250 reverse stock split effective September 22, 2025, primarily intended to bring the company into compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The company emphasizes in a later press release that this reverse stock split is expected to be the last reverse stock split it will implement for at least three years.
The reverse split combined every 250 shares of common stock into one share, with proportional adjustments to outstanding equity awards, warrants, convertible notes and certain preferred stock conversion prices, while leaving the par value and authorized share counts unchanged. Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Cost management and operational restructuring
Several news releases and filings highlight Bollinger Innovations’ focus on reducing cash burn and operating expenses. The company reports actions such as:
- Reducing general and administrative and research and development expenses on a quarterly basis.
- Eliminating certain facilities and third‑party manufacturing arrangements.
- Consolidating production of the Bollinger B4 to its Tunica, Mississippi plant.
- Undertaking additional staff reductions and closing offices such as Troy, Michigan, while consolidating staff into Oak Park.
These measures are described as intended to streamline operations, preserve liquidity and align the cost structure with current operating conditions, while the company continues to pursue commercial vehicle sales across its Class 1, 3 and 4 product lines.
Regulatory reporting and risk disclosures
Bollinger Innovations remains a SEC‑reporting company, filing periodic reports, current reports on Form 8‑K and registration statements such as the S‑1/A. In these documents, the company includes extensive risk factor and forward‑looking statement disclosures, citing uncertainties related to financing, competition, regulatory changes, consumer behavior, manufacturing, and its ability to meet listing qualifications on various markets.
