VectoIQ Acquisition, a blank check company led by former GM execs and focused on the smart transportation industry, raised $200 million by offering 20 million units at $10, as expected.

At that price, VectoIQ commands a market value of $256 million. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant.
