    (1)Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owner of 82,935,213 shares of Common Stock issuable to VIA, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen AG.
    (2)The shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this Schedule 13G are issuable by the Company to VIA pursuant to the terms of a Senior Convertible Promissory Note, effective as of June 26, 2024, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock upon the later of (i) December 1, 2024 and (ii) satisfaction of certain regulatory approvals and expiration of applicable waiting periods under applicable laws or regulations (such date, the “Conversion Date”); therefore, such shares of Common Stock may become issuable within 60 days after October 1, 2024. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the automatic conversion of the Convertible Note will be calculated as follows: (1) half of the then outstanding principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Convertible Note will convert at a price of $10.8359 per share of Common Stock and (2) the remaining half of the then outstanding principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Convertible Note will convert at a price per share of Common Stock based on the Company’s 45-trading day volume-weighted average price prior to but not including the Conversion Date (the “Floating Conversion Price”). Accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons will fluctuate from time to time based on the underlying trading price and volume of the Company’s Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock reflected in this Schedule 13G was calculated using a Floating Conversion Price calculated as if the Conversion Date were October 1, 2024.
    (3)The percent of class beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was calculated assuming 1,000,448,640 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 23, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2024, plus the 82,935,213 shares of Common Stock issuable upon automatic conversion of the Convertible Note as calculated in footnote 2 above in this Item 4.

     

    Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

     

    If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following: ☐

     

    Item 6. Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

     

    See the response(s) to Item 4.

     

    Item 7. Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on by the Parent Holding Company.

     

    See the response(s) to Item 2.

     

    Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group.

     

    Not applicable.

     

    Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group.

     

    Not applicable.

    By signing below each Reporting Person certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, other than activities solely in connection with a nomination under §240.14a-11.
