Nikola Corp (NASDAQ:NKLA) shares are trading higher Monday. The company announced that it’s taking legal action against the company it sold the Badger electric pickup truck assets to last year.

What Happened: Nikola sold its Badger electric pickup truck and powersports assets to EMBR Motors, a company created by television personality Dave "Heavy D" Sparks, best known as one half of the Diesel Brothers.

In a new regulatory filing, Nikola said Sparks, attorney Cole Cannon and disgraced Nikola founder Trevor Milton subsequently launched a campaign to take over the company’s board after buying the assets, even though Sparks agreed that Milton would not be involved in any way.

“The agreement specifically states that Mr. Milton was to have zero involvement with EMBR or the assets it had purchased as the company felt strongly that he had caused enough reputational, financial, and operational damage to Nikola,” the company said in the filing.

Nikola said it’s clear that EMBR did not adhere to the provisions in the agreement. As a result, the company said it will take legal action against EMBR, Sparks, Cannon and Milton.
