Ideanomics Up 42% on Heavy Volume After Transfer of Fund Interest to Uber

By Josh Beckerman

 

Ideanomics shares rose 42% to 9 cents after it transferred an investment fund interest to Uber Technologies.

Volume was more than 593 million shares, compared with a 65-day average of 73.9 million.

In 2021, Ideanomics, which has various operations related to electric vehicles, pledged $25 million to the MDI Keeper's Fund. The fund is sponsored by the National Bankers Association, a trade association for minority depository institutions.

Ideanomics said in a securities filing that it made aggregate contributions to the MDI Keeper's Fund of $4.38 million. The company said it didn't make contributions that were required under call notices issued on Dec. 20 and March 31.

Uber committed $25 million to the fund in 2020.

Ideanomics completed its purchase of VIA Motors, a maker of electric commercial vehicles, in January. The deal was announced in August 2021. The company's other operations include Solectrac electric tractors and the financing business Ideanomics Capital.
