Any act of such legal entity shall be deemed to be made by the relevant Party and the relevant Party shall be bound by such acts and liable for such acts on a joint and several basis.

3.	Financing and financial performance

3.1

Financing

PS Investment’s activities shall be financed in any way PS Investment Board considers appropriate from time to time.

3.2	Additional financing from the Parties

The Parties shall not be obliged to participate in further capital subscriptions or in providing any financial resources to PS Investment.

3.3	Dividend and capital contributions

(a)

No dividends shall be declared or paid by PS Investment, including minimum dividend (pursuant to Chapter 18, Section 11 of the Act), unless both (i) in accordance with PS Investment Articles, and (ii) with the consent of the Investor.

(b)

Capital contributions or distributions may be made between any Volvo Car Group company, Geely Group company or other shareholder in the Polestar Group, to/from any Polestar Group company, without any corresponding contribution or distribution being paid by or to any Manager or PS Investment. The Investor shall adjust for such contributions (including a market interest rate calculated from the date of the respective contribution) or distributions when determining the amount to be allocated on any Manager’s Securities under any provision in this Agreement, so that the amount allocated on the Manager’s Securities is not affected by such contributions or distributions (or any potential negative or positive tax effects for the Polestar Group as a result thereof).

3.4	New issues

(a)

Securities in PS Investment or Equity Interest in Polestar may only be issued, provided that the subscription price for any such securities issued to the Investor or any Volvo Car Group company (other than PS Investment) or Geely Group company may not be lower than the Fair Value. A Manager or PS Investment may only participate in an issue of Securities in PS Investment or Equity Interest in Polestar, respectively, if and to the extent so decided by the Investor, and each Manager waives any other right it may have to participate in any issue of such securities and understands that an issue of Securities or increase of Equity Interest in which the Managers do no participate will lead to dilution for the Managers.

(b)

The Investor does not solely control Polestar (but shares the control with Geely) but shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Section 3.4(a) is fulfilled.

4.	Loyalty and objective

4.1

General

(a)

The Parties undertake to co-operate with a view to achieving the overall objectives of this Agreement, as set out in Background C.

(b)

The Investor shall (as between the Parties) at all times have sole control over PS Investment and each Manager undertakes to take any action required or requested by the Investor to ensure that the Investor has such control over PS Investment.

(c)

The Investor is vested with certain rights and discretions to act on behalf of the Managers under this Agreement and agrees to utilize such rights and discretions in good faith and to act loyally.

4.2	Division of the joint property of husband and wife

The Parties acknowledge that the change of ownership provisions in Section 6, the pledge in Section 11, as well as general rules on partition of matrimonial property, make it a requirement for a Party to procure that Securities or securities in a Controlled Entity, as the case may be, be kept as personal property (Sw. enskild egendom). If by way of transfer by division of joint property (Sw. bodelning) (or similar under local law), Securities or securities in a Controlled Entity are transferred, this shall not constitute a Material Breach if the breach is remedied within 30 Business Days (i.e. with effect that any Securities will be directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the relevant Manager).

4.3	Compliance with the terms of this Agreement

Each Party undertakes to act in such a way as is required for the proper fulfilment of this Agreement, including but not limited to voting in favour of proposals in accordance with this Agreement made by the Investor.

5.	PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit

5.1

General

The Investor (together with Geely if relating to Polestar) may at any time initiate and conduct a PS Investment Exit, a Polestar Exit or a Restructuring, and each Manager shall take any action requested and comply with any instructions given by the Investor in relation thereto, including, for the avoidance of doubt, to enter into any customary agreement with the advisor(s) advising on the PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit.

5.2

PS Investment Share Sale

(a)

If a PS Investment Share Sale is initiated, the Managers are entitled to transfer either (i) all of their Securities in PS Investment or (ii) Securities in PS Investment pro rata with the Investor (“Tag-Along”) and, upon and in accordance with the Investor’s request, obligated to transfer all or some (as determined by the Investor) of their Securities in PS Investment (“Drag-Along”) in such PS Investment Share Sale.

(b)

The Investor shall notify the Managers’ Representatives of a PS Investment Share Sale at least 10 Business Days prior to the date on which such PS Investment Share Sale is estimated by the Investor to close and shall in such notice state if the Investor wishes to exercise its Drag-Along right. If the Drag-Along right is not exercised and a Manager wishes to exercise its corresponding Tag-Along right, such Manager shall irrevocably and unconditionally commit thereto by submitting a notice to such effect to the Investor within 5 Business Days after receipt of the notice from the Investor. In the absence of such notice by a Manager, such Manager is deemed to have waived its Tag-Along right in respect of such PS Investment Share Sale.

(c)

If the Drag-Along right or Tag-Along right is exercised in relation to, or by, a Manager, the Investor shall, unless otherwise set out in this Agreement, ensure that such Manager is allowed to sell Securities on corresponding terms and conditions per Security of the same kind and class as the other Parties, save for that each Manager undertakes to accept or assume (as determined by Investor):

(i)

to receive cash consideration for its sold Securities in PS Investment; and

(ii)

if the Sale Proceeds received by the Parties in a PS Investment Share Sale are (wholly or partly) in the form of securities listed on a Stock Exchange: any obligations or restrictions (which may be greater in respect of some or all Managers than the ones applicable to the Investor, including in respect of lock-up undertakings and sell down restrictions, i.e. a restriction to sell or otherwise dispose of shares for a certain period following an IPO) imposed in accordance with recommendations by the advisor(s) advising on the PS Investment Exit or any Stock Exchange and to abide by any advice or instructions given by such persons.

5.3	PS Investment IPO

(a)

If a PS Investment IPO is initiated, each Manager undertakes to assume any obligations or restrictions (including lock-up undertakings and sell down restrictions, i.e. a restriction to sell or otherwise dispose of shares for a certain period following an IPO) imposed, and abide by all advice and instructions given, by the advisor(s) advising on PS Investment IPO or any Stock Exchange, the extent of which may be greater in respect of some or all Managers than any such obligations or restrictions applicable to the Investor.

(b)

The Parties acknowledge that it may be required or beneficial to convert some or all Securities to another kind or class of Securities in connection with a PS Investment IPO and that such conversion may be made pursuant to Section 5.5.

5.4	Polestar Exit

(a)

If a Polestar Equity Sale is initiated, the Investor shall notify the Managers’ Representatives of the Polestar Equity Sale at least 10 Business Days prior to the date on which such Polestar Equity Sale is estimated by the Investor to close and the Tag-Along right and the Drag-Along right pursuant to Section 5.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to PS Investment’s Equity Interest in Polestar, provided in case of the Tag-Along right that the Managers’ Representatives have informed the Investor within 5 Business Days after receipt of the notice from the Investor that such right is exercised. If the Managers’ Representatives exercise such right, the Investor undertakes to ensure that PS Investment transfers the relevant Equity Interest in such Polestar Equity Sale on corresponding terms and conditions as the other holders of Equity Interest of the same kind and class (subject, however, to Section 5.2(c), which shall apply mutatis mutandis).

(b)

Following a Polestar Equity Sale in which PS Investment has sold all its Equity Interest in Polestar, the Investor shall wind-up PS Investment or otherwise dissolve the structure and distribute the proceeds from such Polestar Equity Sale when, and as deemed appropriate by the Investor (acting in accordance with Section 4.1(c)), with regard to any remaining liabilities, obligations and assets following such Polestar Equity Sale, and each Manager undertakes to take any action requested by the Investor in relation thereto.

(c)

If the consideration received by PS Investment in a Polestar Equity Sale is (wholly or partly) in the form of securities listed on a Stock Exchange, no Manager may dispose of any Securities without the prior written consent of the Investor during such period of time that PS Investment is the subject of a lock-up undertaking or similar transfer restriction, i.e. a restriction to sell or otherwise dispose of shares for a certain period following an IPO.

(d)

If a Polestar IPO is initiated, the Investor shall be obligated to exercise the Exit Option in accordance with Section 5.6 and repurchase the Managers’ Securities. Managers that, in the opinion of the Investor (acting in good faith towards the Managers) and the advisor(s) advising on the Polestar IPO, should be subject of a lock-up undertaking (i.e. a restriction to sell or otherwise dispose of shares for a certain period following an IPO) shall be obligated to re-invest the net proceeds (after taxes payable) in securities in Polestar in connection with the IPO. If determined by the Investor, also Managers that should not be subject of a lock-up undertaking (in accordance with the above) shall get an opportunity to re-invest the net proceeds in securities in Polestar in connection with the IPO.

(e)

Subject to Section 5.4(c)-(d), each Manager shall be obligated to accept or assume any liabilities, obligations and restrictions (as part of a back to back arrangement with the Investor or otherwise) and take any actions as requested by the Investor in connection with or as part of a Polestar Exit that such Manager would have been obligated to accept, assume or take in connection with or as part of a PS Investment Exit pursuant to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any liabilities, obligations or restrictions pursuant to Sections 5.2(c) and 5.3(a)). The Managers shall, if and to the extent requested by the Investor, also be obligated to guarantee, as their own debt (Sw. proprieborgen), the due and punctual performance of the liabilities and obligations of PS Investment under any transaction documents in such Polestar Exit in proportion to their respective number of Securities.

(f)

For the avoidance of doubt, no Manager (other than the Managers’ Representatives) shall have any rights pursuant to this Section 5.4.

(g)

In the event of a listing of shares in a Polestar Group company, the Managers agree and accept that Sections 5.4(c)-(f) shall apply mutatis mutandis regarding the Managers’ obligations and responsibilities in relation to such listing.

5.5	Restructuring

(a)

The Investor may defer proceeds that Managers are entitled to in connection with a Restructuring until the 20th Business Day following the earlier of:

(i)

completion of a PS Investment Exit; and

(ii)

a distribution of proceeds to PS Investment following a Polestar Exit.

(b)

The Investor shall in connection with a Restructuring determine if, when, how and to what exchange ratio any transfer of Securities in PS Investment or the Equity Interest in Polestar (as applicable) should be made and what kind and class of securities that should be issued in the transferee as consideration for the transferred Securities or Equity Interest. The value of the securities in the transferee received by the Managers or PS Investment (as applicable) in exchange for the Securities in PS Investment or the Equity Interest in Polestar (as applicable) transferred to the transferee may, immediately after such transfer, not (as a result of such transfer) in the reasonable opinion of the PS Investment Board be lower than the value of the transferred Securities or Equity Interest immediately prior to such transfer (save, for the avoidance of doubt, that any potential benefit over time as a result of differences in the debt or equity capital structure or any remaining time value or other option element of any transferred Securities or Equity Interest may be lost and not taken into account in connection with such transfer). This Agreement shall continue to apply to the relevant Manager’s securities in the transferee unless the Investor requests that the Manager enters into or accedes to another shareholder agreement regarding the securities in the transferee (which, however, may not include obligations or restrictions in respect of the Manager that are greater than the ones included in this Agreement other than as required in order to resolve any discrepancies etc. pursuant to Section 13.3(b)), in which case the Manager shall enter into or accede to such shareholder agreement. If Securities in PS Investment are transferred in exchange for securities in another company within the Volvo Car Group in preparation for or in connection with an exit, such exit will (for the avoidance of doubt) constitute a PS Investment Exit and any provisions in this Agreement relating to a PS Investment Exit shall thus apply mutatis mutandis to such exit also before such Restructuring has been completed.

(c)

If, as a result of a Restructuring, and for as long as, PS Investment is also Polestar, the provisions regarding a Polestar Exit in this Agreement shall not apply.

5.6	Exit Option

(a)

Notwithstanding Sections 5.2-5.5, the Investor has the right to acquire all or part of the outstanding Securities if the Investor decides on a PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit (or a Restructuring carried out in preparation for a PS Investment Exit or a Polestar Exit)(the “Exit Option”). The purchase price for the Securities when exercising the Exit Option shall correspond to the price that will be received in the following PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit. The Investor may defer the payment of the purchase price until the 20th Business Day following the completion of a PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit.

(b)

Any transfer of Securities after exercise of the Exit Option shall, as further described in Section 8.3, be conditional upon the completion of the PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit;

(c)

In connection with the PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit, each Manager shall accept or assume any liabilities, obligations and restrictions and take any actions as requested by the Investor that such Manager otherwise would have been obligated to accept, assume or take in connection with or as part of such PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit (including, to take any action to effectuate any back to back arrangement with the Investor in respect of such liabilities, obligations or restrictions).

5.7	Distribution of Sale Proceeds

(a)

In the event of a PS Investment Exit, the Parties agree that the aggregate sale proceeds and/or value available for distribution (after deduction of transaction costs which have been pre-approved by the Investor and which shall be borne by the Parties pro rata based on such sale proceeds or the value available for distribution (as applicable)) (the “Sale Proceeds”) with respect to such PS Investment Exit may, if decided by the Investor, be paid, in the case of cash into an interest bearing bank account under the control of the Investor, and in the case of non-cash proceeds at the direction of the Investor, pending distribution of the Sale Proceeds amongst the Parties.

(b)

The Sale Proceeds shall be distributed amongst the holders of Securities in the same order as if such amounts had been distributed upon liquidation of PS Investment.

(c)

The Managers further agree and accept that the Investor shall be entitled in its sole discretion to decide upon the method to achieve the distribution of Sale Proceeds set out in Section 5.7(b), and undertake to take any action required to achieve such distribution.

5.8	The Investor’s obligation to repurchase Securities

(a)

The Investor shall have the obligation to acquire any outstanding Securities from the Managers at Fair Value within three months from the three year anniversary of this Agreement.

(b)

Notwithstanding Section 5.8(a), the Investor shall not be obligated to acquire the Securities if a PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit is prepared for or ongoing at such time. However, if such PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit for whatever reason is not completed, the Investor shall have the obligation to acquire any outstanding Securities within three months after such unsuccessful PS Investment Exit or Polestar Exit process has ended or the preparation process has been stopped.

(c)

If the Investor and Managers representing more than 50 percent of the aggregate number of shares in PS Investment, on a fully diluted basis held by Managers, agree, the Investor’s obligation under Section 5.8(a) shall be postponed with one year (i.e. the obligation shall apply from the fourth year anniversary of this Agreement).

(b)

A Manager shall be entitled to transfer all, but not less than all, of his/her Securities after an initial period of 12 months from the date of this Agreement provided that the transferee is a bona fide third party having entered into a binding written agreement regarding the purchase of the Securities, and provided that the transferee accedes to this Agreement by executing an adherence letter in a form acceptable to the Investor (one term being that the transferee becomes subject to Section 3.3(b) to the same extent as the Manager). However, in connection with such transfer the Investor will have a right of first refusal to acquire the Securities at a price corresponding to the agreed purchase price between the relevant Manager and the bona fide third party.

(c)

For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer restrictions set out in this Section shall in no way limit the Investor’s right to acquire Securities as set out under other Sections in this Agreement.

6.2	Controlled Entity

(a)

A Manager shall be entitled to transfer his/her Securities to a company wholly-owned by him/her (a “Controlled Entity”), provided in each case that the Controlled Entity shall adhere in writing to this Agreement and that the Manager shall procure that the Controlled Entity shall at all times remain a Controlled Entity for the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Investor waives the Investor’s right of first refusal in accordance with Section 6.1(b) with regard to transfers in accordance with this Section 6.2.

(b)

Each Manager guarantees as its own debt (Sw. proprieborgen) the due and punctual performance of all existing and future liabilities and obligations of its Controlled Entity under this Agreement and any other agreement or document entered into or executed pursuant to this Agreement and undertakes to, at and in accordance with the Investor’s request, take any action required from time to time in order to evidence such guarantee in a separate document.

(e)

If Securities are transferred in accordance with this Agreement to a third party adhering to this Agreement but not as a Manager, Option Events i, ii, iii, iv and vii shall not apply to such adhering Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all other Option Events shall apply to such adhering Party.

ScheduleS

Schedule 1 Managers

Schedule 2 Lock-up exceptions

This Addendum Agreement to the Investment Holders’ Agreement (this “Addendum Agreement”) is dated [●] June 2022 and made between:

(1)	Volvo Car Corporation, reg. no. 556074-3089 (the “Investor”) and

(2)	the persons whose names and addresses are set out in Schedule 1 (the “Managers”).

The Investor and the Managers are hereinafter individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

1.	Background

1.1

PSINV AB is a holding company which has an ownership in the Polestar group. The Investor owns the majority of the shares in PSINV AB and the Managers have acquired shares in PSINV AB. On 30 June 2019, the Parties entered into an Investment Holders’ Agreement (the “IHA”) to govern the Managers’ holding of shares in PSINV AB.

1.2

It is planned that the Polestar group shall be listed through a so-called de-SPAC currently scheduled for 23 June 2022, which will result in the securities of Polestar Automotive Holding UK Limited (“Polestar UK”) being listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (New York) (“Nasdaq New York”)(the “de-SPAC Event”).

1.3

The Parties have a common understanding that the de-SPAC Event constitutes a “Polestar IPO” under the IHA. Consequently, in accordance with the IHA, (i) the Investor is obligated to repurchase the Managers’ shares in PSINV AB, (ii) the Managers are obligated to reinvest the net proceeds (after taxes payable) in securities in Polestar UK in connection with the de-SPAC Event and (ii) such reinvestment by the Managers should be subject to a lock-up undertaking (the “Program Exit”).

1.4	The Parties are now entering into this Addendum Agreement to confirm the application of the relevant provisions in the IHA and the details thereof in order to achieve the Program Exit.

1.5	Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Addendum Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the IHA.

2.	Addendum

2.1

Repurchase of shares

2.1.1

The Parties agree that the Investor shall repurchase the Managers’ shares in PSINV AB (the “Repurchase”).

2.1.2

The purchase price per share in the Repurchase will be based on a third party valuation and is considered to constitute the market value of the shares. The valuation per share will be based on the volume-weighted average trading price of Polestar UK’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) during the first three (3) trading days after Polestar UK’s disclosure of the super 20-F (the “Repurchase Price”). The super 20-F is scheduled to be disclosed four (4) trading days after the de-SPAC Event.

1(7)

2.1.3

The Repurchase shall be made on an as-is basis.

2.1.4

The Net Proceeds for each Manager shall correspond to the aggregated Repurchase Price (the “ARP”) received by such Manager through the Repurchase less an amount corresponding to 25% (constituting the effective tax rate on capital gains on unlisted Swedish shares under Swedish tax law) of the capital gain contained in such ARP as the standard tax rate unless the Manager is tax resident in another jurisdiction than Sweden and provides another applicable tax rate (in such case, this information shall be provided no later than 20 June 2022).

2.2.3

The reinvestment shall be carried out by the Managers no later than fifteen (15) business days after the Repurchase Date and in compliance with Polestar UK’s insider trading policy and/or applicable security law legislation. If the Managers would be prohibited to acquire ADRs due to Polestar UK’s insider trading policy and/or applicable security law legislation, the reinvestment shall be carried out as soon as possible thereafter. A business day shall in this Addendum Agreement be a banking day in New York, London and Stockholm.

2.2.4

Each Manager undertakes to provide the Investor with satisfactory evidence of the reinvestment (e.g. transactions or settlement notes) no later than on the seventeenth (17^th) business day after the Repurchase Date.

2.3

Lock-up undertaking by the Managers

2.3.1
