Appendix A
The Parties have agreed that all prices for Polestar Vehicles payable by Importer to Seller will be established on an arm’s length basis and should be set in order for Importer to earn a full and complete compensation (the “Importer Profit”) consisting of (i) a compensation for the importation services provided by Importer (“Berry-Ratio Compensation”) , (ii) a compensation for Carrying Cost (“Carrying Cost Compensation”), as well as (iii) an amount corresponding to USD [***] (“Fixed Fee Compensation”) multiplied by the number of Polestar Vehicles imported during the time period.
The Berry-Ratio Compensation should be established according to what is set forth below:
The Parties have agreed that the Barry-ratio Compensation should be established by applying the Transactional Net Margin Method (TNMM) and applying the Berry Ratio achieved by comparable uncontrolled importer companies performing substantially the same functions and assuming substantially the same risks as are performed and assumed by Importer.
The Berry Ratio Compensation shall, for the purpose of calculating the prices of Polestar Vehicles be computed as a mark-up on the Value Adding Operating Expenses incurred by Importer.
For purposes of applying the TNMM, the arm’s length Berry Ratio mark-up should be reviewed and agreed between the Parties on a yearly basis. The arm’s length Berry Ratio mark-up applied should be in line with the latest Comparable Study/Benchmarks.
For this purpose, the term “Value-Adding Operating Expenses” shall include only those operating expenses incurred by Importer for value-adding functions performed by Importer and shall not include expenses for cost of goods sold, advertising, sales incentives, promotion, product warranty, or product liability. Expenses that Importer incurs in implementing or administering these programs, however, are included in Value-Adding Operating Expenses.
The Carrying Cost Compensation should be established according to what is set forth below:
The Carrying Cost Compensation shall be calculated as the product of (i) the arm’s length interest rate and (ii) the average annual value of Importer’s trade accounts receivable plus inventory minus trade accounts payable.
For the purpose of calculating the Carrying Cost Compensation the arm´s length interest rate should be reviewed and agreed between the Parties on a yearly basis. The arm’s length Interest rate applied should be in line with the latest Comparable Study/Benchmarks.
