CIIC was the ticker for CIIG Merger Corp., a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) that merged with Arrival Ltd., an electric vehicle manufacturer. Following the merger in March 2021, CIIC dissolved, and trading transitioned to Arrival Ltd. (under ticker ARVL or ARVLF in OTC markets). Arrival aimed to disrupt the commercial vehicle market with its innovative electric vans but has since faced significant challenges, culminating in bankruptcy and ceasing its operations in 2024.
