Novus Capital Corp. II (NYSE:NXU) has added $50 million to its PIPE for its combination with kinetic energy storage company Energy Vault.
This new funding came from an accredited investor under the same $10 per share terms as the existing PIPE.

The original PIPE drew investment from institutional investors Adage Capital Partners, Pickering Energy Partners, Sailingstone Capital Energy Transition Strategy Fund, SoftBank Investment Advisers, Cemex Ventures (NYSE: CX), and Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR).
The SPAC disclosed that the purpose of the additional PIPE is to ensure the combined company will have access to further capital after the transaction closes.
