A going-concern warning is disclosed when a company's auditors conclude that there is 'substantial doubt' about the company's ability to continue operating for the next 12 months without additional capital.

Yes. Canoo merged with Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp IV (HCAC) to go public. SPAC mergers typically leave the combined company with a large warrant overhang — Canoo was no exception. These warrants allow holders to buy shares at fixed prices, diluting existing shareholders when exercised.
