By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Lordstown Description of Business

Lordstown Motors Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Lordstown” or the “Company”), is an electric vehicle (EV) innovator developing high-quality light duty commercial fleet vehicles, with the Endurance all electric pick-up truck as its first vehicle being launched in the Lordstown, Ohio facility. The Company is in its initial design and testing phase related to its production of the Endurance and has yet to bring a completed product to market.

On September 30, 2021, the Company, Lordstown EV Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Lordstown EV”) and an affiliate of Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) entered into an Agreement in Principle (the “Agreement in Principle”) to work jointly on electric vehicle programs in the Company’s facility in Lordstown, Ohio. Other than with respect to exclusivity and certain customary provisions, the Agreement in Principle was non-binding and subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements.

The Agreement in Principle provided, among other things, as follows:

●

The Company and Foxconn would use commercially reasonable best efforts to negotiate a definitive agreement pursuant to which Foxconn would purchase the Lordstown facility, excluding the Company’s hub motor assembly line, battery module and packing line assets, certain intellectual property rights and other excluded assets, for $230 million.

●

The parties would also negotiate a contract manufacturing agreement, which would be a condition to closing of the facility purchase, whereby Foxconn would manufacture the Endurance at the Lordstown facility. The Company would also agree to provide Foxconn with certain rights with respect to future vehicle programs.

●

Concurrently with the closing under the definitive agreements, the Company would issue warrants to Foxconn that are exercisable until the third anniversary of the closing for 1.7 million shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share.

●

Following the closing under the definitive agreements, the Company would enter into a long-term lease for a portion of the existing facility for its Ohio-based employees, and Foxconn would offer employment to agreed upon Lordstown employees.

The parties agreed to a binding 60-day mutual exclusivity period with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement in Principle and a fee of $50 million to be paid by any party who materially breaches this provision.

As further described in Note 9, on September 30, 2021, the Company also entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and Foxconn agreed to purchase, 7.2 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Subscription Agreement”) for approximately $50.0 million in total consideration. The closing of the Subscription Agreement occurred on October 12, 2021.

See Note 9 – Subsequent Events for a description of the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with Foxconn EV Technology, Inc., an Ohio corporation and affiliate of Foxconn (“Foxconn Ohio”) on November 10, 2021 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

Business Combination and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Lordstown have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K/A.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company has also reclassified the presentation of certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current presentation.

On October 23, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Diamond Peak Holdings Corp. (“DiamondPeak”) consummated the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated August 1, 2020, among DiamondPeak, Lordstown EV Corporation (formerly known as Lordstown Motors Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“Legacy LMC”), and DPL Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy LMC with Legacy LMC surviving the merger (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), DiamondPeak changed its name to Lordstown Motors Corp (the “Company”) and Legacy LMC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Legacy LMC (“Legacy LMC Common Stock”) was converted into 55.8817 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A common stock”), resulting in an aggregate of 75,918,063 shares of Class A common stock issued to Legacy LMC stockholders. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Legacy LMC Common Stock (“Legacy LMC Options”), whether vested or unvested, was automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Legacy LMC Common Stock subject to such Legacy LMC Option and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Legacy LMC Common Stock of such Legacy LMC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as in effect prior to the Closing, each outstanding share of DiamondPeak’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, was automatically converted into 1 share of the Company’s Class A common stock at the Closing, resulting in an issuance of 7 million shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate.

In connection with the Closing, the Company (a) issued and sold an aggregate of 50 million shares of Class A common stock for $10.00 per share at an aggregate purchase price of $500 million pursuant to previously announced subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), (b) issued an aggregate of approximately 4 million shares of Class A common stock to holders of $40 million in aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest, of Legacy LMC convertible promissory notes at a conversion price of $10.00 per share upon automatic conversion of such notes (the “Note Conversions”), and (c) issued warrants to purchase 1.6 million shares of Class A common stock (“BGL Warrants”) a purchase price of $10.00 per share to a third party. Additionally, the Company assumed 9.3 million Public Warrants (as defined below) and 5.1 million Private Warrants (as defined below) both of which were originally issued by DiamondPeak with an exercise price of $11.50. In December 2020, 2.7 million of the Public Warrants were exercised which resulted in $30.7 million in proceeds. In January 2021, a significant portion of the remaining Public Warrants and 0.6 million of the Private Warrants were exercised upon payment of the cash exercise price, which resulted in cash proceeds of $82.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, there were 2.3 million Private Warrants, 1.6 million BGL Warrants and 0 Public Warrants outstanding. See further discussion related to the accounting of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants in Note 3.

Pursuant to the Business Combination, the merger between a DiamondPeak and Legacy LMC was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, Legacy LMC was deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy LMC issuing stock for the net assets of DiamondPeak, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DiamondPeak are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Legacy LMC. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

As part of the Business Combination, we recorded $644.6 million in equity for the recapitalization, net of transaction costs and $100.9 million in liabilities related to the Public and Private Warrants described in Note 3. The Company received cash proceeds of $701.5 million as a result of the Business Combination which was net of the settlement of the $20.8 million related party note payable and $23.2 million in property purchased through equity both as described in Note 4. Additionally, a $5 million Convertible Note and the $5.9 million amount in Due to related party as described in Note 7 were also settled in conjunction with the Business Combination.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $233.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $463.7 million at September 30, 2021 and a net loss of $329.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Since inception, the Company has been developing its flagship vehicle, the Endurance, an electric full-size pickup truck. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to complete the development of its electric vehicles, obtain regulatory approval, begin commercial scale production and launch the sale of such vehicles. The Company believes that its current level of cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund commercial scale production and the launch of sale of such vehicles. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In an effort to alleviate these conditions, and as further described in Note 8, on July 23, 2021, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, LTD. (“YA”), pursuant to which YA has committed to purchase up to $400 million of our Class A common stock, at our direction from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we issued 3.9 million shares to YA and received $20 million cash. We also issued 2.8 million shares to YA in exchange for $15 million cash in October 2021. The actual amount that we raise under this facility will depend on market conditions and other financing alternatives that we are exploring, as well as limitations in the agreement

In connection with Subscription Agreement described in Note 9, the Company sold 7.2 million shares of Class A common stock to an affiliate of Foxconn for approximately $50.0 million in total consideration on October 12, 2021.

Management continues to seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. The Company has engaged an advisor to advise the Company on additional financing alternatives.

In addition, the Company and Lordstown EV entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Foxconn Ohio to leverage the value of our facility and technologies, with the goal of becoming a capital light engineering, design and development company focused on developing multiple all-electric vehicle programs, primarily for the North American commercial vehicle market.

As discussed further in Note 9, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides that Foxconn Ohio will purchase the Lordstown facility, excluding the Company’s hub motor assembly line, battery module and packing line assets, certain intellectual property rights and other excluded assets, for $230 million and a reimbursement payment for certain operating and expansion costs incurred during the period leading up to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Foxconn Ohio will pay the Company a down payment equal to $100 million no later than November 18, 2021 and thereafter will make additional down payments in the amount of $50 million on February 1, 2022 and $50 million no later than April 15, 2022, in each case subject to certain conditions. In exchange for the down

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

payments, we will be granting Foxconn Ohio a first priority security interest in substantially all of Lordstown EV’s assets, along with committing to maintain minimum cash balances of $100 million through January 1, 2022, $50 million through March 1, 2022 and $30 million thereafter.

If the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated or if the transaction does not close prior to the later of (i) April 30, 2022 and (ii), if CFIUS clearance is still pending on April 30, 2022, 10 days after the transaction is cleared by the U.S. government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), the Company is obligated to repay the down payments to Foxconn Ohio plus accrued interest, and such potential repayment obligation is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Lordstown EV’s assets. In connection with the closing, the parties would enter into (i) a contract manufacturing agreement whereby Foxconn Ohio or its affiliate would manufacture the Endurance at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for the Company (the “CMA”) and (ii) a long-term lease agreement whereby Foxconn Ohio would lease to Lordstown EV up to 30,000 square feet of space located at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for its Ohio-based employees (the “Lease”). In connection with the closing, the Company will issue warrants to Foxconn that are exercisable until the third anniversary of the closing for 1.7 million shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share.

The transactions with Foxconn are expected to provide the Company with near-term liquidity from the value of the facility and technologies, reduce the overall capital investment needed by the Company to reach commercial production, accelerate our ability to achieve scaled manufacturing, speed up future vehicle development and launch, provide more cost-effective access to certain raw material, components and other inputs and reduce overhead costs associated with the Lordstown facility borne by the Company.

Even if the Foxconn transaction is consummated in accordance with the current terms and on the anticipated timeline, we will need additional funding to continue our development efforts and maintain our current plans for our production timeline.

As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our business and industry, as well as our pending transaction with Foxconn. As a result of these uncertainties, and notwithstanding management’s plans and efforts to date, there continues to be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reclassifications

The Company reclassified $2.3 million of gain on sale of fixed assets to other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 in order to consistently present its condensed consolidated financial statements. The reclassification did not impact net loss.

Immaterial Correction of Error

The Company’s previously issued financial statements have been revised to reclassify certain expenses that were inappropriately presented within the consolidated statement of operations. This resulted in the reclassification of $2.7 million of research and development expenses to selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The error did not impact net loss.

The Company, in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, evaluated the effect of these adjustments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements under ASC 250, Accounting Changes

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

and Error Corrections and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements and determined it was not necessary to recall its consolidated condensed financial statements as the errors did not materially misstate those consolidated financial statements. The Company looked at both quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the required corrections.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash equivalents which are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company presents cash and cash equivalents within Cash and cash equivalents on the Balance Sheet.

The Company maintains its cash in investment accounts as well as bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Management believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

Property, plant and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Determination of useful lives and depreciation will begin once the assets are ready for their intended use.

Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations. Maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred, while major improvements that increase functionality of the asset are capitalized and depreciated ratably to expense over the identified useful life. Further, interest on any debt financing arrangement is capitalized to the purchased property, plant, and equipment if the requirements for capitalization are met.

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group.

Intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets included patents, copyrights, trade secrets, know-how, software, and all other intellectual property and proprietary rights connected with the electric pickup truck and other electric vehicle technology owned by Workhorse and contributed in exchange for equity in the Company.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we continued to refine the design of the Endurance and consider technologies we would use in future vehicles. Given the lack of Workhorse technology used in the Endurance and new management’s strategic direction of the Company, inclusive of the transactions contemplated with Foxconn as detailed in Note 9, we deemed it appropriate to change the useful life of the technology we acquired from Workhorse to zero months. As such, we recorded accelerated amortization of $11.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Research and development costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of personnel costs for engineering and research, prototyping costs, and contract and professional services.

Stock-based compensation

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 718, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (ASC 718), which establishes a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with ASC 718, the cost of stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees over the awards' vest period is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates assumptions regarding the expected volatility, expected option life and risk-free interest rate.

The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. Further, pursuant to ASU 2016-09 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Warrants

The Company accounts for its Public and Private Warrants as described in Note 3 in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Public Warrants and Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Public and Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Public and Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period or at the time of settlement. Any change in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations as Other income/(expense).

Income taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company does not have material uncertain tax positions.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs (collectively ASC 842) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

key information about leasing arrangements. ASC 842 is effective for the Company beginning after December 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC Topic 820 for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes when inputs should be used in measuring fair value, is comprised of: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and (Level III) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value.

The Public and Private Warrants are classified as a liability with any changes in the fair value recognized immediately in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the net gain (loss) on changes in fair value (in thousands) related to the Public and Private Warrants:


	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2021		September 30, 2021
Public Warrants	$	—	$	(27,180)
Private Warrants		3,344		12,263
Net gain (loss) on changes in fair value	$	3,344	$	(14,918)

Observed prices for the Public Warrants were used as Level 1 inputs as they were actively traded until being redeemed in January 2021. The Private Warrants are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. These instruments are not actively traded and are valued using a Monte Carlo option pricing model that uses observable and unobservable market data as inputs.

A Monte Carlo model was used to simulate a multitude of price paths to measure fair value of the Private Warrants. The Monte Carlo models two possible outcomes for the stock price each trading day – up or down – based on the prior day’s price. The calculations underlying the model specify the implied risk-neutral probability that the stock price will move up or down, and the magnitude of the movements, given the stock’s volatility and the risk-free rate. This analysis simulates possible paths for the stock price over the term of the Private Warrants. For each simulated price path, we evaluate the conditions under which the Company could redeem each Private Warrant for a fraction of whole shares of the underlying as detailed within the Warrant Agreement. If the conditions are met, we assume redemptions would occur, although the Private Warrant holders would have the option to immediately exercise if it were more advantageous to do so. For each simulated price path, if a redemption does not occur the holders are assumed to exercise the Private Warrants if the stock price exceeds the exercise price at the end of the term. Proceeds from either the redemption or the exercise of the Private Warrants are reduced to a present value amount at each measurement date using the risk-free rate for each simulated price path. Present value indications from iterated priced paths were averaged to derive an indication of value for the Private Warrants.

At each measurement date, we use a stock price volatility input of 50%. This assumption considers observed historical stock price volatility of other companies operating in the same or similar industry as the Company over a period similar to the remaining term of the Private Warrants, as well as the volatility implied by the traded

options of the Company. The risk-free rates utilized were 0.847% and 0.413% for the valuations as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The following tables summarize the valuation of our financial instruments (in thousands):

Construction in progress includes retooling and construction at the Company's facility in Lordstown, Ohio and tooling held at various supplier locations. The Company is currently finalizing its production process, bringing acquired assets up to the level needed for commercial production and evaluating assets that will be necessary in the commercial production of the Endurance pickup truck. Completed assets will be transferred to their respective asset classes and depreciation will begin when an asset is ready for its intended use. As of

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

September 30, 2021, commercial scale manufacturing has not begun and thus 0 depreciation was recognized in 2021 or 2020.

Property, plant and equipment also includes the manufacturing plant in Lordstown, Ohio which was purchased from GM in November 2019 for $20.0 million, recorded as a related party note payable. In early 2019, GM made the decision to halt manufacturing on its Chevrolet Cruze sedan which was manufactured at its Lordstown plant. The plant remained closed with no production until GM and the Company were able to agree on the terms of the asset purchase, which resulted in a purchase price significantly lower than the fair market value of the assets acquired. As of the date of the Business Combination, our related party note payable for the plant and interest totaled $20.8 million and was settled as part of the Business Combination.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company also purchased property from GM for $1.2 million which was recorded to construction in progress. The corresponding due to related party balance was satisfied with equity at the consummation of the Business Combination as described in Note 1. See Note 7 for further details on the due to related party balance. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold equipment which it determined was not necessary for production which resulted in a gain on sale of the asset for $2.3 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we also recognized an additional $23.2 million of property that was exchanged for common stock as part of the Business Combination.

NOTE 5 — NOTE PAYABLE

On April 17, 2020, LMC entered into a Promissory Note with The Huntington National Bank, which provides for a loan in the amount of $1 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan had a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. The Paycheck Protection Program provides that the PPP Loan may be partially or wholly forgiven if the funds are used for certain qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, our $1.0 million loan was forgiven.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into “Placement Agency Agreements” with Maxim Group, LLC (“Maxim”) and existing shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreements, the Company issued “Convertible Promissory Notes” to a series of investors for proceeds worth $37.8 million net of transaction costs. In connection with the Closing described in Note 1, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately 4 million shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the Convertible Promissory Notes.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered into supply agreements with Samsung and LG Energy Solution to purchase lithium-ion cylindrical battery cells. The agreements provide for certain pricing and minimum quantity parameters, including our obligation to purchase such minimum amounts which totaled approximately $16.3 million, $139.4 million and $273.6 million in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively, subject to change for increases in raw material pricing. We are in the process of negotiating amendments to reduce the amounts of these obligations, but there is no assurance that we will reach such agreements.

The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability for loss contingencies in the consolidated financial statements when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Our provisions are based on historical experience, current information and legal advice, and they may be adjusted in the

future based on new developments. Estimating probable losses requires the analysis of multiple forecasted factors that often depend on judgments and potential actions by third parties.

On October 30, 2020, the Company, together with executive officers Mr. Burns, Mr. LaFleur, Mr. Post and Mr. Schmidt, and certain of our employees, were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by Karma Automotive LLC (“Karma”) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (“District Court”). On November 6, 2020, the District Court denied Karma’s request for a temporary restraining order. On April 16, 2021, Karma filed an Amended Complaint that added additional defendants (2 Company employees and 2 Company contractors that were previously employed by Karma) and a number of additional claims alleging generally that the Company unlawfully poached key Karma employees and misappropriated Karma’s trade secrets and other confidential information. The Amended Complaint contains a total of 28 counts, including: (i) alleged violations under federal law of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Defend Trade Secrets Act, (ii) alleged violations of California law for misappropriation of trade secrets and unfair competition; (iii) common law claims for breach of contract and tortious interference with contract; (iv) common law claims for breach of contract, including confidentiality agreements, employment agreements and the non-binding letter of intent; and (v) alleged common law claims for breach of duties of loyalty and fiduciary duties. The Amended Complaint also asserts claims for conspiracy, fraud, interstate racketeering activity, and violations of certain provisions of the California Penal Code relating to unauthorized computer access. Karma is seeking permanent injunctive relief and monetary damages.

After several months of discovery, Karma filed a motion for preliminary injunction on August 8, 2021, seeking to temporarily enjoin the Company from producing any vehicle that incorporated Karma’s alleged trade secrets. On August 16, 2021, Karma also moved for sanctions for spoliation of evidence. On September 16, 2021, the District Court denied Karma’s motion for a preliminary injunction, and denied, in part, and granted, in part, Karma’s motion for sanctions. As a result of its partial grant of Karma’s sanctions motion, the District Court awarded Karma a permissive adverse inference jury instruction, the scope of which will be determined at trial.

On September 20, 2021, the District Court granted the parties’ request to continue the trial date and other pretrial deadlines. Discovery is now set to close on March 1, 2022, and trial is scheduled to begin on August 8, 2022.The Company is continuing to evaluate the matters asserted in the lawsuit, and is vigorously defending against Karma’s claims. The Company continues to believe that there are strong defenses to the claims and the damages demanded. At this time, however, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any. The proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process.

NaN related putative securities class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors and former DiamondPeak directors between March 18, 2021 and May 14, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Rico v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al. (Case No. 21-cv-616); Palumbo v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al. (Case No. 21-cv-633); Zuod v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al. (Case No. 21-cv-720); Brury, et al. v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al. (Case No. 21-cv-760)); Romano et al. v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al., (Case No. 21-cv-994); and FNY Managed Accounts LLC, et al. v. Lordstown Motors Corp. et al., (Case No. 21-cv-1021). The matters have been consolidated and the Court appointed George Troicky as lead plaintiff and Labaton Sucharow LLP as lead plaintiff’s counsel. On September 10, 2021, lead plaintiff and several additional named plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint, asserting violations of federal securities laws under Section 10(b), Section 14(a), Section 20(a), and Section 20A of the Exchange Act against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. The complaint generally alleges that the Company and individual defendants made materially false and misleading statements relating to vehicle pre-orders and production timeline. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss on November 9, 2021. Plaintiffs’ response is due by January 17, 2022, and the motion to dismiss will be fully briefed by March 3, 2022. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims. The

proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any.

NaN related stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed against certain of the Company’s officers and directors, former DiamondPeak directors, and against the Company as a nominal defendant between April 28, 2021 and July 9, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Cohen, et al. v. Burns, et al. (Case No. 21-cv-604); Kelley, et al. v. Burns, et al. (Case No. 12-cv-724); Patterson, et al. v. Burns, et al. (Case No. 21-cv-910); Sarabia v. Burns, et al. (Case No. 21-cv-1010)). The derivative actions in the District of Delaware have been consolidated. On August 27, 2021, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, asserting violations of Section 10(b), Section 21D, Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, breach of fiduciary duties, insider selling, and unjust enrichment, all relating to vehicle pre-orders, production timeline, and the merger with DiamondPeak. On October 11, 2021, defendants filed a motion to stay this consolidated derivative action pending resolution on the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action. Plaintiffs’ deadline to respond to the motion to stay is November 24, 2021, and the motion will be fully briefed by December 22, 2021. Another related stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio on June 30, 2021 (Thai et al. v. Burns, et al. (Case No. 21-cv-1267)), asserting violations under Section 10(b), Section 14(a), Section 20, Section 21D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste, based on similar facts as the consolidated derivative action. On October 21, 2021, the court in the Northern District of Ohio derivative action entered a stipulated stay of the action and scheduling order relating to defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss and/or subsequent motion to stay that is similarly conditioned on the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims. The proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any.

In addition, between approximately March 26, 2021 and September 23, 2021, LMC received 8 demands for books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law from stockholders who state they are investigating whether to file similar derivative lawsuits, among other purposes. Also, on or around July 26, 2021, the Company received a stockholder litigation demand that the Company’s board of directors investigate and commence legal proceedings against certain current and former officers and directors based on alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, and unjust enrichment. The proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any.

The Company has also received 2 subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and information, including relating to the merger between DiamondPeak and Legacy Lordstown and pre-orders of vehicles, and the Company has been informed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York that it is investigating these matters. The Company has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, with these and any other regulatory or governmental investigations and inquiries.

Except as described above, the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened claims. From time to time however, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities.

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement, Operating Agreement and separate Mortgage Agreement (collectively, the “GM Agreements”) with GM. Pursuant to the GM Agreements, the Company incurred debt to GM recorded as a related party note payable in the principal amount of $20.0 million, secured by the real property described in Note 4. The Company had imputed interest of 5% on the related party note payable until February 1, 2020 when the stated interest rate of 7% began per

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

the terms of the GM Agreement. Interest for the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $0.3 million which was capitalized as part of PP&E as described in Note 4. This note which totaled $20.8 million as of the date of the Closing, was converted to equity during the Business Combination described in Note 1.

In conjunction with the Operating Agreement described above, the Company was also required to reimburse GM for expenditures related to general plant maintenance and compliance associated with the Lordstown facility. The Company recorded expenses of $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 on the Statement of Operations. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased property from GM for $1.2 million which was recorded to CIP. As of the date of the Closing described in Note 1, we had accrued a total of $5.9 million as a Due to Related Party liability which was converted to equity as part of the Business Combination.

On May 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”) with GM that provided financing to the Company of up to $10.0 million secured by the Company’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company had the ability to periodically draw down on the Convertible Note to meet its working capital needs. The Convertible Note had a $5.0 million balance at the closing of the Business Combination and was converted to equity as described in Note 1.

In August 2020, we entered into an emissions credit agreement with GM pursuant to which, and subject to the terms of which, during the first three annual production/model years wherein we produce vehicles at least ten months out of the production/model year, the counterparty will have the option to purchase such emissions credits as well as emissions credits from any other U.S. state, country or jurisdiction generated by vehicles produced by us not otherwise required by us to comply with emissions laws and regulations at a purchase price equal to 75% of the fair market value of such credits. While we plan for our first three annual production/model years for the purpose of this agreement to be 2022, 2023 and 2024, it is possible that this agreement could extend beyond these model years if we do not achieve ten or more months of production during those annual production/model years.

As of December 31, 2020, GM was no longer determined to be a related party.

On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into a transaction with Workhorse Group Inc., for the purpose of obtaining certain intellectual property. In connection with granting this license, Workhorse Group received 10% of the outstanding Legacy Lordstown common stock and was entitled to royalties of 1% of the gross sales price of the first 200,000 vehicle sales. In November 2020, we pre-paid a royalty payment to Workhorse Group in the amount of $4.75 million. The upfront royalty payment represents an advance on royalties due on 1% of the gross sales price of the first 200,000 vehicles sold, but only to the extent that the aggregate amount of such royalty fees exceeds the amount paid upfront. The upfront royalty payment was recorded as a prepaid expense as of December 31, 2020, but reclassified to other non-current assets as of September 30, 2021. These amounts will be amortized as a percent of each vehicle sold. As of September 30, 2021, Workhorse Group was no longer determined to be a related party.

NOTE 8 — CAPITAL STOCK AND LOSS PER SHARE

Our Charter provides for 312 million authorized shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 300 million shares of Class A common stock and (ii) 12 million shares of preferred stock each with a par value of $0.0001. We had 182.1 million and 168.0 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the

period. Dilutive EPS is calculated to include any dilutive effect of our share equivalents. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our share equivalent included 3.1 million options,1.6 million BGL Warrants, and 2.3 million Private Warrants outstanding. None of the stock options or warrants were included in the calculation of diluted EPS because we recorded a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 as including these instruments would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:

On July 23, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with YA, pursuant to which YA has committed to purchase up to $400 million of our Class A common stock, at our direction from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Such sales of Class A common stock, are subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time at our sole discretion, over the approximately 36-month period commencing on the date of the Equity Purchase Agreement, provided that a registration statement covering the resale by YA of the shares of Class A common stock purchased from us is declared effective by the SEC and the other conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement are satisfied. We filed the registration statement with the SEC on July 30, 2021, and it was declared effective on August 11, 2021.

Under applicable Nasdaq rules and the Equity Purchase Agreement, we will not sell to YA shares of our Class A common stock in excess of 35,144,690 shares (the “Exchange Cap”), which is 19.9% of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement, unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Class A common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of shares of Class A common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement (including the Commitment Shares described below in the number of shares sold for these purposes) equals or exceeds $7.48 per share (which represents the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the Common Shares (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement). At current market prices of our shares of Class A common stock, without stockholder approval, the Exchange Cap would limit the amount of funds we are able to raise to significantly less than the $400 million commitment under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

We may direct YA to purchase amounts of our Class A common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement that we specify from time to time in a written notice (an “Advance Notice”) delivered to YA on any trading day. The maximum amount that we may specify in an Advance Notice is equal to the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Daily Value Traded of the Class A common stock on the trading day immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $30.0 million. For these purposes, “Daily Value Traded” is the product obtained by multiplying the daily trading volume of our Class A common stock by the volume weighted average price for that trading day. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions under the Equity Purchase Agreement, we may deliver Advance Notices from time to time, provided that we have delivered all shares relating to all prior Advance Notices. The purchase price of the shares of Class A common stock will be equal to 97% of the simple average of the daily VWAPs for the three trading days following the Advance Notice as set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement.

As consideration for YA’s irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 0.4 million shares of its Class A common stock to YA (the “Commitment Shares”).

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, inclusive of the 0.4 million Commitment Shares, we issued 3.9 million shares to YA and received $20 million cash. We also issued 2.8 million shares to YA in exchange for $15 million cash in October 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement and the remaining availability under the Equity Purchase Agreement was $380 million which is subject to certain limitations as described above.

NOTE 9 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and Foxconn agreed to purchase, 7.2 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for $6.8983 per share in cash based on the simple average of the volume weighted average price for the 15 days immediately preceding the date of the subscription agreement, or approximately $50.0 million in total consideration. The stock issuance and corresponding receipt of approximately $50.0 million occurred in October 2021 and was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021.

On November 10, 2021, the Company, Lordstown EV and Foxconn Ohio entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement, to establish certain of the definitive terms contemplated by the Agreement in Principle.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, among other items, Foxconn Ohio agreed to purchase the Lordstown, Ohio facility and certain related assets, including manufacturing equipment and related intellectual property rights, but excluding the hub motor assembly line, battery module and packing line assets, certain intellectual property rights and other excluded assets, and Foxconn Ohio agreed to assume certain contracts relating to the purchased assets and certain liabilities of the Company. As consideration for the asset purchase, Lordstown EV will be paid a purchase price of $230 million and a reimbursement payment for certain operating and expansion costs incurred by Lordstown EV during the period leading up to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. At or prior to the closing, it is expected that certain employees, primarily in the manufacturing and operational areas, will become employees of Foxconn Ohio.

The Asset Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, as follows:

●

Foxconn Ohio will pay Lordstown EV a down payment equal to $100 million by November 18, 2021 and thereafter will make additional down payments in the amount of $50 million on February 1, 2022 and $50 million no later than April 15, 2022, in each case subject to certain conditions, including without limitation, the maintenance of minimum cash balances of $100 million through January 1, 2022, $50 million through March 1, 2022 and $30 million thereafter. If the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated or if the transaction does not close prior to the later of (i) April 30, 2022 and (ii) if CFIUS clearance is still pending on April 30, 2022, 10 days after the transaction is cleared by CFIUS, Lordstown EV and the Company are obligated to repay the down payments to Foxconn plus accrued interest, and Lordstown EV has granted Foxconn a first priority security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure this repayment obligation.

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

●

In connection with the closing, the Company will issue warrants to Foxconn that are exercisable until the third anniversary of the closing for 1.7 million shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share.

●

In connection with the closing, the parties would enter into (i) a contract manufacturing agreement whereby Foxconn Ohio or its affiliate would manufacture the Endurance at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for Lordstown EV (the “Contract Manufacturing Agreement”) and (ii) a long-term lease agreement whereby Foxconn Ohio would lease to Lordstown EV up to 30,000 square feet of space located at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for its Ohio-based employees (the “Lease”).

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including (a) the parties negotiating a mutually agreeable Contract Manufacturing Agreement, (b) the parties entering into the Contract Manufacturing Agreement and the Lease, (c) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and (d) receipt of a communication that the U.S. government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has concluded that the transaction is not a “covered transaction” or that CFIUS has completed its review of the transaction and determined there are no national security concerns with the transaction. In light of these conditions, many of which are beyond our control, there can be no assurance that the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement will be completed in a timely matter or at all. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company and Foxconn will enter into any of the definitive agreements described below.

Prior to the closing, the Company and Foxconn will also use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into:

●

a joint venture agreement whereby, among other items, the parties will allocate engineering resources to jointly design, engineer, develop, validate, industrialize and launch vehicle programs for the commercial vehicle market in North America and internationally, including the granting of certain rights for the parties to commercialize such programs;

●

a licensing agreement pursuant to which the Company would license to Foxconn the Company’s intellectual property relating to its frame, rolling chassis and other technologies, subject to reasonable royalties or licensing fees and other terms mutually agreed to by the parties; and

●

an agreement pursuant to which, during the period between signing and closing, the industrialization, facility and operations teams of the Company will provide support to Foxconn on homologation, industrial engineering, site preparation and other areas in support of Foxconn’s non-Company vehicles and non-Endurance-specific investments, new buildings and infrastructure maintenance and improvements on an open book basis at a cost-plus rate.

The foregoing summary of certain terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which the Company has filed as an exhibit to this report.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. Forward-looking statements in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Refer to the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" above and Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-Q for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, with respect to our estimated production timeline, need for additional financing and the risks related to our planned transactions with Foxconn.

Our mission is to be a catalyst in the world’s transition to sustainable energy. We are an electric vehicle (EV) innovator developing high-quality light duty commercial fleet vehicles, with the Endurance all electric pick-up truck as our first vehicle being launched in the Lordstown, Ohio facility.

Since inception, we have been developing our flagship vehicle, the Endurance, an electric full-size pickup truck. We introduced the Endurance in June 2020, built prototype vehicles during 2021 and plan to build approximately 100 pre-production vehicles for testing, validation, verification and regulatory approvals during the balance of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. We expect commercial production to begin in the third quarter of 2022, subject to receipt of adequate financing.

See Part II - Item 1.A. Risk Factors below for further discussion of the risks associated with our production timeline.

In addition, the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Foxconn to leverage the value of our facility and technologies, with goal of becoming a capital light engineering, design and development company focused on developing multiple all-electric vehicle programs, primarily for the North American commercial vehicle market.

We seek to capture meaningful share of commercial fleet electric vehicle market and intend to do so by focusing on the following strengths:

●

a highly experienced and proven senior management team with over 100 years of collective experience in the automotive and electric vehicle areas from prominent OEMs;

●

the unique and efficient design of the Endurance incorporating advanced technology and engineering, including the use of in-wheel hub motors resulting in what we believe will be the fewest moving parts of any comparable vehicle currently available; and

●

a safe, reliable and efficient vehicle, designed for and targeted to the needs of the fleet market, that we believe will offer a significantly reduced total cost of ownership and compelling value as compared to currently available alternatives.

We are refining our business model through the strategic sale of our facility to Foxconn as outlined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which provides that Foxconn will purchase the Lordstown facility, excluding the our hub motor assembly line, battery module and packing line assets, certain intellectual property rights and other excluded assets, for $230 million and a reimbursement payment for certain operating and expansion costs incurred from September 1, 2021 through the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the closing, the parties would enter into (i) the Contract Manufacturing Agreement under which Foxconn would manufacture the Endurance at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for the Company and (ii) the Lease under which Foxconn would lease to Lordstown EV up to 30,000 square feet of space located at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for its Ohio-based employees.

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

The transactions with Foxconn are expected to provide the Company with near-term liquidity from the value of the facility and technologies, reduce the overall capital investment needed by the Company to reach commercial production, accelerate our ability to achieve scaled manufacturing, speed up future vehicle development and launch, provide more cost-effective access to certain raw materials, components and inputs and reduce overhead costs associated with the Lordstown facility borne by the Company.

We are also exploring future vehicle development opportunities, including the use of Foxconn’s MiH, which stands for Motion in Harmony, platform. As announced in October 2020 by Foxconn, the MiH is an open EV ecosystem that is meant to promote collaboration in the EV industry to lower barriers to entry, accelerate innovation, and shorten development cycles through the use of common, standardized components and systems, and a flexible, modular platform. Foxconn’s goal is to bring strategic partners together to build the next generation of EV, autonomous driving, and mobility service applications. See Part II - Item 1.A. Risk Factors below for further discussion of the risks associated with our planned transactions with Foxconn.

To support our fleet management partners, we have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Cox Automotive to provide service and support to all Lordstown Motors EV fleet customers. Cox Automotive has more than 6,000 service centers, 3,000 partner locations and 800 mobile technicians nationwide. Subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, the Cox team would deliver a full suite of service solutions including preventative scheduled maintenance, vehicle pickup and delivery, battery servicing, vehicle and collision repairs and roadside assistance. Coupled with our advanced connected vehicle technology and over-the-air update capabilities, this relationship is expected to position us to meet our customer needs after they take delivery of our vehicles.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administration expenses of $31.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of personnel and legal costs totaling approximately $14.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $19.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to a $14.4 million increase in legal costs and insurance and a $3.8 million increase in personnel costs.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses of $56.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of $19.2 million in personnel costs, $17.3 million in design, engineering and testing services, and $12.3 million in prototype component costs. Total research and development expenses increased $26.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to increases of $16.4 million and $11.6 million in personnel and prototype component costs, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other expenses.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we continued to refine the design of the Endurance and consider technologies we would use in future vehicles. Given the lack of Workhorse technology used in the Endurance and new management’s strategic direction of the Company, inclusive of the transactions contemplated with Foxconn, we deemed it appropriate to change the useful life of the technology we acquired from Workhorse to zero months. As such, we recorded accelerated amortization of $11.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Selling, general and administration expenses of $79.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of personnel, and legal and insurance costs totaling approximately $33.5 million and $40.0 million, respectively. Total selling, general and administration expenses increased $58.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to a $35.0 million increase in legal and insurance costs and an $18.8 million increase in personnel costs.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses of $225.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of $46.8 million in personnel costs, $66.7 million in design, engineering and testing

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

services, and $84.9 million in prototype component costs. Total research and development expenses increased $182.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to increases of $39.6 million, $83.1 million and $36.0 million in personnel, prototype component costs and design, engineering and testing services, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the third quarter of 2021, we continued to build and test prototype vehicles. Our business plan contemplates that we will build approximately 100 pre-production vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 for testing, certifications and to demonstrate the capabilities of the Endurance to potential customers. We expect commercial production and customer deliveries to begin in the third quarter of 2022 and then continually increase. While conducting these activities, and for the foreseeable future, we will incur significant operating expenses, capital expenditures and working capital funding that will substantially deplete our cash on hand. We anticipate that we have sufficient funds to close the Foxconn transaction and receive the proceeds as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. However, we will be required to raise capital in order to execute our business plan and carry out the activities necessary to reach the commercial production of the Endurance and deliver the vehicles required to begin generating positive cash flow. The proceeds contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement will not be sufficient for these purposes. In addition, the transaction remains subject to certain conditions, and if the transaction does not close, we will be required to repay the down payments and there is no assurance we will have funding available to do so. Therefore, we continue to require additional capital.

In 2021, our research and development expenses and capital expenditures have increased significantly over 2020 levels to build capacity and invest in additional products and technologies, and are higher than anticipated due to additional spending needed for prototype components, vehicle validation tests, securing necessary parts/equipment for production, and utilizing third-party engineering services. This was due in part to the stress that the COVID-19 pandemic has put on the global automotive supply chain and a strategic decision to bring development of certain components, such as the frame, in house. We expect continued supply chain constraints and pricing pressure that may negatively impact our planned cost structure and production timeline. See Part II - Item 1.A. Risk Factors below for further discussion of the risks associated with disruptions to the supply chain.

In addition, in order to secure adequate supply of battery cells, we have agreements with certain suppliers which obligated us to purchase a minimum volume at approximately $16.3 million, $139.4 million and $273.6 million in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively, as of September 30, 2021 subject to change for increases in raw material pricing. We are in the process of negotiating amendments to reduce the amounts of these obligations, but there is no assurance that we will reach such agreements.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $233.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $463.7 million at September 30, 2021 and a net loss of $329.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to complete the development of our electric vehicles, obtain regulatory approval, begin commercial scale production and launch the sale of such vehicles.

We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund commercial scale production and the launch of sale of such vehicles. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

In an effort to alleviate these conditions, management continues to seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. We have engaged an advisor to advise the Company on additional financing alternatives.

As part of our funding efforts, on July 23, 2021, the Company entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with YA, pursuant to which YA has committed to purchase up to $400 million of our Class A common stock, at our direction from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we issued 3.9 million shares to YA and received $20 million cash. We also issued 2.8 million shares to YA in exchange for $15 million cash in October 2021. The actual amount that we raise under this facility will depend on market conditions and other financing alternatives that we are exploring, as well as limitations in the agreement. In particular, at current market prices of our shares of Class A common stock, without stockholder approval, the Exchange Cap provision would limit the amount of funds we are able to raise to significantly less than the $400 million commitment under the Equity Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement and the remaining availability under the Equity Purchase Agreement was $380 million which is subject to certain limitations as described above and in Note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On September 30, 2021, the Company also entered into a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and Foxconn agreed to purchase, 7.2 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for approximately $50.0 million in total consideration. The closing of the Subscription Agreement occurred on October 12, 2021.

In addition, the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Foxconn provides that Foxconn will purchase the Lordstown facility, excluding the Company’s hub motor assembly line, battery module and packing line assets, certain intellectual property rights and other excluded assets, for $230 million and a reimbursement payment for certain operating and expansion costs incurred during the period leading up the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. Upon the signing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Foxconn will pay the Company a down payment equal to $100 million by November 18, 2021 and thereafter will make additional down payments in the amount of $50 million on February 1, 2022 and $50 million no later than April 15, 2022, in each case subject to certain conditions. In exchange for the down payments, we will be granting Foxconn a first priority security interest in substantially all of Lordstown EV’s assets, along with committing to maintain minimum cash balances of $100 million through January 1, 2022, $50 million through March 1, 2022 and $30 million thereafter.

If the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated or if the transaction does not close prior to April 30, 2022, the Company is obligated to repay the down payments to Foxconn, and such potential repayment obligation is secured by Lordstown EV’s assets. In connection with the closing, the parties would enter into (i) a contract

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

manufacturing agreement whereby Foxconn would manufacture the Endurance at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for the Company (the “CMA”) and (ii) a long-term lease agreement whereby Foxconn would lease to Lordstown EV up to 30,000 square feet of space located at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for its Ohio-based employees (the “Lease”). In connection with the closing, the Company will issue warrants to Foxconn that are exercisable until the third anniversary of the closing for 1.7 million shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share.

The transactions with Foxconn are expected to provide the Company with near-term liquidity from the value of the facility and technologies, reduce the overall capital investment needed by the Company to reach commercial production, accelerate our ability to achieve scaled manufacturing, speed up future vehicle development and launch, provide more cost-effective access to certain raw materials, components and inputs and reduce overhead costs associated with the Lordstown facility borne by the Company.

We accepted an invitation from the U.S. Department of Energy to start the process toward securing an ATVM loan and are currently in the due diligence phase. If we are successful in completing this stage, we may receive a term sheet, but we cannot guarantee we will reach that stage or be approved for a loan or provide any assurance as to the amount or timing of any loan that we may receive. Broadly speaking, prior ATVM loans were offered at Treasury rates for interest expense, required that the proceeds be spent on plant retooling or R&D activities and have imposed initial cash collateral requirements. We are also pursuing tax credits and grants across multiple jurisdictions.

If we are unable to raise additional capital in the near term to facilitate full commercial production, we will be unable to launch the sale of our vehicle. In addition, we will be materially adversely affected if the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with Foxconn do not close. See Part II - Item 1.A. Risk Factors below for further discussion of the risks associated with our need for additional financing.

Table of Contents

Net Cash Used by Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020, net cash used by operating activities increased by $210.6 million. This increase was primarily due to a $213.6 million increase of net operating loss offset by changes in working capital, primarily a significant increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses as we have ramped up our research and development and other spending.

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020, cash used by investing activities increased $257.9 million primarily due to capital spending in 2021 on tooling and our Lordstown facility to support the commercial production launch of the Endurance.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020, cash flows from financing activities increased $55.1 million primarily due to $82.0 million of cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants in 2021 and $20.0 million of cash proceeds from sales under the Equity Purchase Agreement compared to $44.4 million of proceeds from notes payable in 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and management’s assessment, to the extent they have made one, of their potential impact on Lordstown’s financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

On September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $233.8 million. We believe that a 10 basis point change in interest rates is reasonably possible in the near term. Based on our current level of investment, an increase or decrease of 10 basis points in interest rates would not have a material impact to our cash balances.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021.

Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below and discussed in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In the course of preparing the Company’s financial statements for the Form 10-K/A, our management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

•

The Company did not have a sufficient number of trained resources with the appropriate technical accounting skills and knowledge with assigned responsibilities and accountability for the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting.

•

The Company did not have an effective risk assessment process that successfully identified and assessed risks of material misstatement to ensure controls were designed and implemented to respond to those risks.

•

The Company did not have an effective monitoring process to assess the consistent operation of internal control over financial reporting and to remediate known control deficiencies.

As a consequence, we did not effectively design, implement and operate process-level control activities related to procure-to-pay (including operating expenses, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities), property, plant and equipment, warrant liability, and the financial reporting process (including the manual journal entries).

These control deficiencies resulted in the restatement of our December 31, 2020 financial statements as described in Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements entitled “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” in the Form 10-K/A. These control deficiencies also caused other immaterial misstatements, some of which were corrected, in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. These control deficiencies create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and therefore we conclude that the deficiencies represent material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as of December 31, 2020.

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These deficiencies could result in misstatements to our financial statements that would be material and would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Since identification of the misstatement described above, management has been actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts. The Board and management, with the assistance of our third-party consultants, have implemented, among other items, the following measures to address the material weaknesses identified:

•

Hired and trained additional qualified personnel, including but not limited to our interim Chief Financial Officer pending appointment of our current Chief Financial Officer

•

Performed detailed risk assessments in key process areas to identify risks of material misstatement

•

Implemented control procedures to address the identified risks of material misstatements in key process areas

•

Implemented monitoring activities that hold personnel accountable to their responsibilities for the design and implementation of internal controls over financial reporting.

We have made progress in accordance with our remediation plan and our goal is to remediate our material weaknesses during fiscal year 2021. However, a material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures, however, there can be no assurance that this will occur within 2021.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As discussed above, we are designing and implementing certain measures to remediate the material weaknesses identified in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K/A, except as set forth below. In addition to the risk factors set forth below and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K/A, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future operating results.

The transactions contemplated with Foxconn under the Asset Purchase Agreement and otherwise are subject to closing conditions, including further negotiation of a contract manufacturing agreement and customary regulatory approvals, and may not be consummated, lead to definitive agreements or provide the benefits that we anticipate.

We entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Foxconn on November 10, 2021, as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 10, 2021, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the agreement in principle that we entered into with Foxconn on September 30, 2021. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Foxconn would purchase the Lordstown facility, excluding our hub motor assembly line, battery module and packing line assets, certain intellectual property rights and other excluded assets, for $230 million and a reimbursement payment for certain operating and expansion costs incurred by us during the period leading up to the closing. Foxconn will pay $100 million by November 18, 2021, and thereafter will make additional down payments in the amount of $50 million on February 1, 2022 and $50 million no later than April 15, 2022, in each case subject to certain conditions, including without limitation, the maintenance of minimum cash balances of $100 million through January 1, 2022, $50 million through March 1, 2022 and $30 million thereafter. If the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated or if the transaction does not close prior to the later of (i) April 30, 2022 and (ii) if CFIUS clearance is still pending on April 30, 2022, 10 days after the transaction is cleared by CFIUS, the Company is obligated to repay the down payments to Foxconn plus accrued interest, and Lordstown EV has granted Foxconn a first priority security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure the repayment obligation. The parties also intend to negotiate a contract manufacturing agreement, under which Foxconn would manufacture the Endurance at the Lordstown facility, and a lease under which Foxconn would lease to us up to 30,000 square feet of space located at the Lordstown, Ohio facility for our Ohio-based employees.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including (a) the parties negotiating a mutually agreeable contract manufacturing agreement, (b) the parties entering into the contract manufacturing agreement and the lease, (c) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and (d) receipt of a communication that the U.S. government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has concluded that the transaction is not a “covered transaction” or that CFIUS has completed its review of the transaction and determined there are no national security concerns with the transaction.

Prior to the closing, the Company and Foxconn have also committed to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into:

●

a joint venture agreement whereby, among other items, the parties will allocate engineering resources to jointly design, engineer, develop, validate, industrialize and launch vehicle programs for

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

the commercial vehicle market in North America and internationally, including the granting of certain rights for the parties to commercialize such programs;

●

a licensing agreement pursuant to which we would license to Foxconn our intellectual property relating to its frame, rolling chassis and other technologies, subject to reasonable royalties or licensing fees and other terms mutually agreed to by the parties; and

●

an agreement pursuant to which, during the period between signing and closing, our industrialization, facility and operations teams will provide support to Foxconn on homologation, industrial engineering, site preparation and other areas in support of Foxconn’s non-Company vehicles and non-Endurance-specific investments, new buildings and infrastructure maintenance and improvements on an open book basis at a cost-plus rate.

Because the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to conditions to closing, including the further negotiation of additional agreements and regulatory and other matters that our outside of our control, there is no assurance that we will complete any of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement that are expected to occur at that closing. Further, the additional arrangements outlined above are subject to the negotiation of terms satisfactory to both parties. No assurances can be given as to the timing of any such agreements or the extent to which such agreements would be on terms favorable to us. Further, we cannot predict whether we will be able to fully realize the anticipated benefits from any aspects of our contemplated relationship with Foxconn, such as due to our need for additional financing, supply chain disruptions, and the consequences of these factors on testing and other activities, that could present challenges that impact the timing and cost of our commercial production. If we are unable to successfully complete the contemplated transactions and relationship with Foxconn, our business plan, financial condition and results of operation could be materially impaired.

We have faced and expect to continue to face disruptions to the supply chain, affecting our access to critical raw materials and components, and may be unable to adequately control the costs or maintain adequate supply of components and raw materials to facilitate completion of our development plans and full commercial production timeline.

We may be unable to adequately control the costs associated with our operations, even with continued refinement of our budget. We expect to incur significant costs related to procuring raw materials required to manufacture and assemble our vehicles. The prices for and availability of these raw materials fluctuate depending on factors beyond our control. Our business also depends on the continued supply of battery cells for our vehicles. We are exposed to multiple risks relating to availability and pricing of quality lithium-ion battery cells. In addition, a global semiconductor supply shortage is having wide-ranging effects across the automotive industry and may negatively impact the supply needed for our testing and production timeline.

The COVID-19 crisis has caused and may continue to cause (i) disruptions to our supply chain, including our access to critical raw materials and components, many of which require substantial lead time, or cause a substantial increase in the price of those items, (ii) an increase in other costs as a result of our efforts to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, and (iii) delays in our schedule to full commercial production of the Endurance, among other negative effects.

Furthermore, currency fluctuations, tariffs or shortages in petroleum, steel and aluminum or other raw materials and other economic or political conditions have resulted and may continue to result in significant increases in freight charges and raw material costs, delays in obtaining critical materials or changes in the specifications for those materials. Substantial increases in the prices for our raw materials or components have increased and may continue to increase our operating costs, and could reduce our margins. In addition, a growth in popularity of electric vehicles without a significant expansion

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

in battery cell production capacity or sufficient availability of semiconductors could result in shortages, which would increase our cost of materials or impact our prospects. These factors could also delay our overall production timeline and limit production volume.

Since our inception, we have experienced losses and expect to incur additional losses in the future and we require significant additional capital to implement our business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, creating substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

The design, manufacture and sale of vehicles is a capital-intensive business and have generated significant losses to date. Our business plan to design, produce, sell and service the Endurance and any additional vehicles requires significant additional capital to complete research and development and build out of infrastructure and commence full commercial production. Our revised budget only provides for limited completion of pre-production vehicles in 2021. Additional funding is needed for production in 2022 and beyond and to continue our ramp up to full commercial production, including in order to facilitate the proposed transactions with Foxconn. The amounts required are expected to be significant.

Further, the estimated costs and timelines that we have developed and continue to revise to reach full scale commercial production are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties involved in the transition to the large-scale manufacture and sale of vehicles. We have already incurred increased costs and we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. There can be no assurance that our further estimates related to the costs and timing necessary to complete the design and engineering of the Endurance and scale to full production will prove accurate.

The report of our independent registered public accountants on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to complete the development of our electric vehicles, obtain regulatory approval, begin commercial scale production and launch the sale of such vehicles. The Company believes that our current level of cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund commercial scale production and the launch of sale of such vehicles. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, or if there is continued doubt about our ability to do so, the value of your investment would be materially and adversely affected.

To alleviate these conditions, management has delayed and continues to delay certain expenditures in order to fund operations at reduced levels, has entered into funding arrangements and continues to seek various funding alternatives. On July 23, 2021, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with YA, pursuant to which YA has committed to purchase up to $400 million in shares of our Class A common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The actual amount that we can raise under this facility will depend on market conditions as well as limitations in the agreement. In particular, at current market prices of our shares of Class A common stock, without stockholder approval, the Exchange Cap provision would limit the amount of funds we are able to raise to significantly less than the $400 million commitment under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

We are also refining our business model through the relationship with Foxconn as announced on October 1, 2021 and as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with Foxconn on November 10, 2021, pursuant to which we would sell our facility to Foxconn for $230 million and enter into a manufacturing arrangement for certain joint vehicle production activities conducted such facility, among other arrangements.

4838-3851-2884.3

Table of Contents

We accepted an invitation from the U.S. Department of Energy to start the process toward securing an ATVM loan and are currently in the due diligence phase. Broadly speaking, prior ATVM loans were offered at Treasury rates for interest expense, required that the proceeds be spent on plant retooling or R&D activities and have imposed initial cash collateral requirements. If we are successful in completing this stage, we may receive a term sheet, but we cannot guarantee we will reach that stage. We are also pursuing tax credits and grants across multiple jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that we will be approved for a loan or receive any tax credits or any assurance as to the amount or timing of any loan or credits that we may receive.

We have engaged an advisor to advise us on additional financing alternatives and are seeking to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us, or business and our industry, as well as our pending transaction with Foxconn.

These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financings unattractive to us. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our currently issued and outstanding equity or debt, and our existing stockholders may experience dilution, which may be substantial. If we are unable to raise additional capital in the near term, our operations and production plans will be scaled back or curtailed and, if any funds raised are insufficient to provide a bridge to full commercial production and generation of sufficient funds from operations, our successful operation and growth would be impeded.

Even if we secure necessary financing in the short term, we expect our future growth to continue to be capital-intensive and the timing for and ability to generate sufficient funds from operations is uncertain. We also intend to leverage our technologies to develop additional all-electric vehicles geared for the commercial market, which will require additional capital investment with returns and timelines that will be difficult to predict. Unlike established OEMs that have greater financial resources than we do, there can be no assurance that we will have access to the capital we need on favorable terms when required or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition and business and the value of your investment could be materially adversely affected.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no sales of equity securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 1, 2021.
