2 This presentation includes forward - looking statements. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be identified by words such as "feel," "believes," expects," "estimates," "projects," "intends," "should," "is to be," or the ne gat ive of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward - looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward - looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subje ct to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward - looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: the need to raise substantial additional capital to execute our business plan, achieve our production targets for the Endurance, achieve scaled production of the Endurance, develop additional vehicles, to continue on goi ng operations and remain a going concern, and our ability to raise such funding including under current arrangements on a reasonable timeline and with suitable terms; the cost and other impacts of con tingent liabilities such as litigation, regulatory proceedings, investigations, stockholder letters and claims and availability of insurance coverage and/or adverse publicity with respect to these matters, wh ich may have a material adverse effect, whether or not successful or valid, on our liquidity position, market price of our stock, cash projections, business prospects and ability and timeframe to obtain f ina ncing; our limited operating history and our ability to execute our business plan, including through our expanding relationship with Foxconn; our ability to raise sufficient capital in order to invest in the too ling that we expect will enable us to eventually lower the Endurance bill of materials cost, continue design enhancements of the Endurance and fund future vehicles that we may develop; the rollout of our business an d the timing of expected business milestones, including the ability to ensure the completion of tooling, to establish and maintain appropriate supplier relationships, and to ramp up commercial pro duc tion (which is currently expected to be slow) and complete sales and deliver the Endurance in accordance with our projected timeline; our ability to successfully identify and implement actions that will lo wer the Endurance bill of materials cost; supply chain disruptions, inflation and the potential inability to source essential components and raw materials, including on a timely basis or at acceptable cost, and their consequences on production, sales and other activities; our ability to obtain binding purchase orders and build customer relationships; the risk that our technology, including our hub motors, does no t perform as expected and our overall ability to deliver on the expectations of customers and investors with respect to the pricing, performance, quality, reliability, safety and efficiency of the Enduranc e a nd to provide the levels of warranty coverage, service and support that customers will require; our ability to conduct business using a direct sales model, rather than through a dealer network used by most o the r OEMs; the effects of competition on our ability to market and sell vehicles; our inability to retain key personnel and to hire additional personnel; the ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the failure to obtain required regulatory approvals; changes in laws or regulatory requirements or new or different interpretations of existing law; changes in governmental incentives and fuel and energy pric es; the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID - 19 pandemic, on our business; cybersecurity breaches and threats and compliance with privacy and data protection laws; failure to timely implemen t a nd maintain adequate financial, information technology and management processes and controls and procedures; our ability to remain in compliance with our existing financial obligations; and the p oss ibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, geopolitical, business and/or competitive factors, including rising interest rates and the direct and indirect effects of the war in Ukrain e. In addition, the transactions we entered into with Foxconn and future vehicle development plans involving the Foxconn EV ecos ys tem, including the Mobility In Harmony (MIH) consortium, are subject to risks and uncertainties. No assurances can be given that we will successfully implement or that we will realize the anticipat ed benefits from these transactions or plans with Foxconn, including the contract manufacturing agreement, funding arrangements and development plans. The additional funding transactions under the Investment Ag reement are subject to closing conditions including CFIUS clearance and further negotiation of EV program development plans and milestones. The EV program will require additional funding and th e e stablishment and implementation of the program requirements, among other matters, and may not be consummated, sufficiently implemented or provide the benefits we expect, which could have a mat eri al adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. The success of the EV program depends on many variables, which could include our ability to utilize the design s, engineering data and other foundational work of Foxconn, its affiliates, other members of the MIH consortium as well as other parties, achieve cost and development time efficiencies, and address customer nee ds to commercialize, industrialize, homologate and certify a vehicle in North America, along with variables that are out of the parties' control, such as technology, innovation, adequate funding, s upp ly chain and other economic conditions, competitors, customer demand and other factors that impact new vehicle development. If we are unable to close the subsequent tranches of funding, successfully ut ilize the Foxconn EV ecosystem or develop new vehicles for ourselves and potentially other customers, our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. I f we are unable to maintain our relationship with Foxconn or effectively manage outsourcing the production of the Endurance to Foxconn, we may be unable to ensure continuity, quality, and compliance with o ur design specifications or applicable laws and regulations, which may ultimately disrupt and have a negative effect on our production and operations. We will need additional funding and will seek strategic partnerships to execute our business plan and to achieve scaled produ cti on of the Endurance and development of other vehicles. There can be no assurance that such financing or partnerships would be available to us on favorable terms or at all, due to several factors, inc luding market and economic conditions, the significant amount of capital required, the fact that our bill of materials cost is currently, and expected to continue to be, substantially higher than ou r a nticipated selling price, uncertainty surrounding regulatory approval and the performance of the vehicle, meaningful exposure to material losses related to ongoing litigation and the SEC investigation, o ur performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our business and industry. Additional information on potential factors that could affect the financial results of the Company and its forward - loo king statements is included in its most recent Form 10 - K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward - looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary s tatement. Any forward - looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and Lordstown Motors undertakes no obligation to update any forward - looking statement to reflect events or circum stances after the date of this presentation.
