Lucid Group Inc ( LCID ) shares are trading lower in Wednesday’s after-hours session after the company announced an offering and corresponding investment from an affiliate of the Public Investment Fund (PIF).

What Happened: Lucid said it commenced a public offering of 262,446,931 shares of its common stock. The company intends to grant the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to 39,367,040 additional shares.
