INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

On June 19, 2023, Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (“Polestar”) issued a press release, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K (this “Report”), announcing one or more indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Polestar entered into a Shareholders Agreement and a Business Cooperation Agreement (together, the “JV Agreements”) with Hubei Xingji Meizu Group Co., Ltd. (“Xingji Meizu”), a limited liability company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), that govern the establishment and operation of a joint venture company under the laws of the PRC (the “Joint Venture”).

The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop Xingji Meizu’s existing technology platform, “Flyme Auto”, into a seamless operating system for Polestar vehicles sold in the mainland of the PRC, including in-car apps, streaming services, and intelligent vehicle software. This is expected to be complemented by mobile and augmented reality devices and customer apps, creating a seamless digital ecosystem. Polestar and Xingji Meizu have agreed that the Joint Venture shall be the sole authorized sales and service entity for Polestar vehicles in the PRC. Polestar expects to transfer certain commercial assets and approximately 130 of its PRC-based staff to the Joint Venture.

Polestar will own a 49% interest in the Joint Venture, with the remaining 51% to be owned by Xingji Meizu. The ultimate beneficial owner of Xingji Meizu is Eric (Shufu) Li, who is also, through his direct and indirect holdings in PSD Investment Limited, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company Limited and Volvo Car AB (publ), the ultimate beneficial owner of Polestar. Prior to approving entry into JV Agreements, the board of directors of Polestar received independent financial advice from Houlihan Lokey.

Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, Polestar has agreed to contribute $98 million of initial capital to the Joint Venture, with Xingji Meizu agreeing to contribute $102 million to the Joint Venture and also to be responsible for arranging further financing as required by the Joint Venture. The Shareholders Agreement also states that the board of directors of the Joint Venture shall be composed of five directors, three of which shall be appointed by Xingji Meizu and two directors by Polestar. A copy of the Shareholders Agreement is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.2, and the foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Cooperation Agreement, Polestar is responsible for the development and industrial design of its vehicles with the Joint Venture responsible for the management and sale of Polestar vehicles in the mainland of the PRC. Under the Business Cooperation Agreement, Xingji Meizu is responsible for the definition and development of smart phone products, “augmented reality” glasses and other technology products which may be sold by the Joint Venture, with Polestar being responsible for the industrial design of such products when they carry the Polestar brand. The Joint Venture will be responsible for installing Polestar’s operating system into the Polestar vehicles that it sells. Polestar and Xingji Meizu have agreed through the Business Cooperation Agreement that the Joint Venture will be subject to certain minimum purchase requirements with regards to Polestar’s vehicles.

The Business Cooperation Agreement contemplates Polestar and Xingji Meizu signing certain additional agreements in the future, which are to include: asset purchase agreements that govern the purchase of certain commercial assets by the Joint Venture from each of Polestar and Xingji Meizu; a license agreement whereby Polestar grants to the Joint Venture a license to use certain trademarks and other intellectual property in exchange for fees paid by the Joint Venture to Polestar; and a license agreement between the Joint Venture and Xingji Meizu whereby the Joint Venture will receive a license to use the “Flyme Auto” operating system for the development of an in-car operating system for Polestar vehicles in exchange for a fee payable to Xingji Meizu. A copy of the Business Cooperation Agreement is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.3, and the foregoing description of the Business Cooperation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.

Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the future financial or operating performance of Polestar. For example, the signing of additional agreements or the consummation of other transactions in connection with the Joint Venture, expected benefits from the Joint Venture, including sales growth in China and the development, design and manufacturing of new devices, products, apps or operating systems, projections of revenue, volumes and other financial or operating metrics are forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Polestar and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) Polestar’s ability to maintain agreements or partnerships with its strategic partners, such as Volvo Cars, Geely or Xingji Meizu Group, and to develop new agreements or partnerships; (2) Polestar’s ability to maintain relationships with its existing suppliers, and source new suppliers for its critical components, and to complete building out its supply chain, while effectively managing the risks due to such relationships; (3) Polestar’s reliance on its partnerships with vehicle charging networks to provide charging solutions for its vehicles and its reliance on strategic partners for servicing its vehicles and their integrated software; (4) Polestar’s reliance on its partners, some of which may have limited experience with electric vehicles, to manufacture vehicles at a high volume or develop devices, products, apps or operating systems for Polestar, and on the allocation of sufficient production capacity or resources to Polestar by its partners in order for Polestar to be able to increase its vehicle production capacities and product offerings; (5) competition, the ability of Polestar to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (6) Polestar’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (7) increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion cells or semiconductors; (8) the possibility that Polestar may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (9) the effects of competition and the high barriers to entry in the automotive industry, and the pace and depth of electric vehicle adoption generally on Polestar’s future business; (10) changes in regulatory requirements, governmental incentives and fuel and energy prices; (11) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Polestar or others; (12) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards; (13) risks associated with changes in applicable laws or regulations and with Polestar’s international operations; (14) Polestar’s ability to establish its brand and capture additional market share, and the risks associated with negative press or reputational harm, including from lithium-ion battery cells catching fire or venting smoke; (15) delays in the design, development, manufacture, launch and financing of Polestar’s vehicles and other product offerings, and Polestar’s reliance on a limited number of vehicle models to generate revenues; (16) Polestar’s ability to continuously and rapidly innovate, develop and market new products; (17) risks related to future market adoption of Polestar’s offerings; (18) risks related to Polestar’s distribution model; (19) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, interest rate changes, the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, supply chain disruptions and logistical constraints on Polestar, Polestar’s projected results of operations, financial performance or other financial and operational metrics, or on any of the foregoing risks; and (20) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Polestar’s Form 20-F, and other documents filed, or to be filed, with the SEC by Polestar. There may be additional risks that Polestar presently does not know or that Polestar currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Nothing in this Report should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Polestar assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Polestar enters into strategic joint venture to accelerate growth in China

GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN – 19 June 2023. A subsidiary of Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (“Polestar” or the “Company,” Nasdaq: PSNY), is entering into a strategic joint venture for the China market with the technology company Xingji Meizu Group (“Xingji Meizu”).

The joint venture is expected to strengthen Polestar’s offer in the Chinese EV market by bringing together Polestar’s capabilities within design and performance with the software and consumer electronics hardware development expertise of Xingji Meizu.

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, says: “China is one of the fastest growing EV markets in the world. It’s also a market with very specific consumer trends, including increasing levels of integration between consumer electronics devices and vehicles. By partnering with a company that has a strong complementary competence to our own, we will be able to offer the locally tailored user experience that both drivers and passengers expect.”

The joint venture will develop Xingji Meizu’s existing technology platform, Flyme Auto, into a seamless operating system for Polestar cars sold in China, including in-car apps, streaming services, and intelligent vehicle software. This will be complemented by mobile and augmented reality devices and customer apps, creating a seamless digital ecosystem. Polestar expects to transfer around 130 commercial staff in China to the new company, which will be the sole authorised Polestar sales and service entity in China.

Polestar will own 49% of the joint venture company equity, with the remaining 51% to be owned by Xingji Meizu, who will be taking responsibility for arranging the joint venture’s future financing beyond the initial capital provided by Polestar and Xingji Meizu.

Ziyu Shen, Xingji Meizu Chairman, says: “The future of our industry will be enabled by integrated devices and platforms that deliver an immersive experience for end users. With the support of the progressive technology of Xingji Meizu, Polestar will take the lead in the field of smart mobility. By working closely together, we will create even better products and offer users a seamless experience across a multitude of devices.”

Xingji Meizu is a premium technology company committed to developing products that focus on user experience and leading technologies. The company has around 2,600 employees focused on developing a portfolio of mobile devices, and wearable smart devices that utilise extended reality technologies. Their Flyme Auto operating system will be in use in several electric vehicles, including the Lynk & Co 08. Xingji Meizu’s founder is Eric (Shufu) Li, the chairman of Geely Holding Group, one of China’s largest automakers, and the ultimate beneficial owner of Polestar.

10


  Minimum Purchase Requirement with respect to a car model and if the Polestar and/or other members of Polestar Group is held liable for penalties or is required to raise the purchase price for subsequent product purchases or liable for other forms of compensation for not meeting the Global Volume Commitments, the Company shall compensate Polestar and/or other members of Polestar Group accordingly, and such compensation shall be calculated as follows:

新产品最低购买量。受限于经销协议的条款和条件,公司有义务向极星和 /或极星集团的其他成员购买将在中国市场经销的新产品。经销协议应包括对每个车型的最低购买量 (“最低购买量”)。该等最低购买量应基于极星和 /或极星集团的其他成员向相关OEM制造商和第三方供应商实际承诺的该车型年度全球采购数量 (“全球采购量承诺”),乘以对应的中国市场比例。为免歧义,上述全球采购量承诺应基于极星和/或极星集团的其他成员不时向相关 OEM制造商和第三方供应商同意的全球的数量承诺的实际数额,且极星和 /或极星集团的其他成员应当在公司就未达到最低购买量向极星 (/或极星集团的其他成员)进行赔偿前提供真实、合理的证据证明该等全球采购量承诺的实际数额。除非双方另行同意,上述 中国市场比例指列于本协议附件 II (1.1 Table 1)所示的各车型全球极星BPL数量的中国市场的对应比例,任一方有权于每年初或双方另行同意的其他时间提出更新附件 II (1.1 Table 1) ,前提是附件II(1.1 Table 1) 的更新应经双方共同书面批准。如果公司对于任一车型未能满足上述最低购买量,且极星 (/或极星集团的其他成员)因未能满足全球采购量承诺而被要求支付罚金或被要求调高后续产品采购价格或给予其它形式的赔偿,公司应向极星 (/或极星集团的其他成员)支付相应赔偿,该等赔偿应按如下方式计算:

 

  (i)

if such compensation is imposed because of reasons solely attributable to the Company’s failure to meet its Minimum Purchase Requirement due to reasons attributable to the Company, and if Polestar and/or other members of Polestar Group

 

11


  have successfully met their respective shares of the Global Volume Commitments, then the Company shall be solely responsible for all of the compensation triggered for that car model in that calendar year for not meeting the Global Volume Commitments, provided that Polestar shall provide the Company with true and reasonable evidence to prove that compensation already paid to OEM manufactures because of the failure to meet the Global Volume Commitments is reasonable and true; or

如果该等补偿是由于公司自身原因导致的仅公司未能满足最低购买量的原因导致,但极星或极星集团的其他成员已成功满足 其各自全球采购量承诺,则所有因为未完成全球采购量承诺导致的该车型的该年度的赔偿应由公司单独承担,前提是极星应向公司提供真实、合理的证据证明因未达到全球采购量承诺已向 OEM制造商支付相应赔偿是合理且真实的;

 

  (ii)

if such compensation is imposed because both the Company (due to reasons solely attributable to the Company) and Polestar and/or other members of Polestar Group fail to meet their respective shares of the Global Volume Commitments, the Company’s share of the compensation shall equal to the number of cars that the Company fails to be purchase under the Minimum Purchase Requirement, divided by the total number of cars failed to be purchased by both the Company and other members of the Polestar Group under the Global Volume Commitments for that car model in that calendar year, provided that Polestar shall provide the Company with true and reasonable evidence to prove that compensation already paid to OEM manufactures because of the failure to meet the Global Volume Commitments and Polestar (and/or other members of Polestar Group)’s share of the unfulfilled Global Volume Commitments is reasonable and true.

如果因公司自身原因和极星 (/或极星集团的其他成员)均未能满足各自全球采购量承诺的份额而导致支付赔偿的义务,公司

 

12


承担该等赔偿的一定比例,该比例应等于公司未完成的该车型于当年的最低购买量数量,除以公司和极星 (/或极星集团的其他成员)均未能完成的全球采购量承诺之和,前提是极星应向公司提供真实、合理的证据证明因未达到全球采购量承诺已向 OEM制造商支付相应赔偿以及极星(/或极星集团的其他成员 )未能完成的全球采购量承诺的份额是合理且真实的。

 

  (iii)

For the avoidance of doubt, “solely attributable to the Company” means failure to meet the Minimum Purchase Requirements is solely caused by the Company. If the failure to meet the Minimum Purchase Requirements is caused, solely or jointly, by reasons other than reasons solely attributable to the Company (such as failure by Polestar and/or other members of Polestar Group, OEM manufactures to deliver the relevant New Products in a timely manner, quality or infringement problems in the delivered New Products, etc.), the Company shall not be obligated to pay the related compensation. If the Company has incurred any Loss which is relevant to the New Products supplied to the Company under the Distribution Agreement (for example, Loss arising from failure by Polestar and/or other members of Polestar Groups to deliver the relevant New Products in a timely manner, or quality problems in the delivered New Products, etc.), and for which Polestar is entitled, according to relevant laws and regulations or relevant agreement, to recourse towards OEM manufacturers or third-party suppliers, Polestar shall take reasonable efforts to exercise its right to recourse towards OEM manufactures or third-party suppliers under such relevant laws and regulations or relevant agreement, and Polestar shall forward any compensation related to the New Products obtained from such recourse from OEM manufactures or third-party suppliers to the Company.

为免疑义,公司自身原因指仅因公司原因导致未能达到最低购买量。若因公司自身原因以外的其他原因 (如极星和/或极星集团的其他成员、OEM制造商未及时交付相关新产品、交付的新产品存在质量或侵权问题等 )单独或共同导致未能达到最低购买量,公司应无义务承担相关赔偿。如果公司因根据经销协议向

 

13


公司供应的新产品承担了任何相关损失 (如极星未及时交付相关新产品,或交付的新产品存在质量问题等而遭受的损失 ),且就该等损失极星有权根据相关法律法规或相关协议向 OEM制造商或第三方供应商索赔,极星应尽合理努力向 OEM制造商、第三方供应商行使其在该等相关法律法规或相关协议下的索赔权利,且极星应将从 OEM制造商或第三方供应商处获得的与新产品相关的任何补偿转交给公司。

For clarity, since [***] is currently expected to be exclusively distributed in the China market in 2023, the Parties hereby agree that the amount of Minimum Purchase Requirement for [***] in 2023 shall be [***]. The details (including but not limited to the stock cover arrangement) of which shall be further provided in separate Distribution Agreement as mutually agreed by the Parties.

为明确起见,因[***]预计在2023年仅在中国市场销售,以及其他公司合理要求的相关事项独家销售,双方特此同意 [***]2023年的最低购买要求数量应为[***]辆。具体内容(包括但不限于库存覆盖率的安排 )应当在双方达成一致的经销协议中另行约定。

  (i)

Manufacturing Fee: the actual manufacturing costs charged by the OEM manufacturer to PACD for manufacturing of the relevant vehicle as allocated to each New Product sold in China, without any markup;

14


  (ii)

单车成本费:即极星集团开发相关车型的全部投资成本中的中国部分 (“单车成本费”),该单车成本费应根据以下原则进行计算:

 

  (A)

The term “Polestar Investment Costs” means the entire amount of costs and expenses incurred by the Polestar Group developing each car model, including without limitation costs and expenses related to purchasing, ME, logistics, tooling etc. as separately disclosed by Polestar to Xingji Meizu. Pursuant to these principles, such Polestar Investment Costs may fluctuate due to market changes and other objective changes, but in any event shall be based on the amount of such costs and expenses actually incurred and disclosed by Polestar, provided that Polestar shall provide the Company with true and reasonable evidence to substantiate the amount of the Polestar Investment Costs.

极星投资成本指极星向星纪魅族另行披露的极星集团开发每一款车型承担的成本和费用总额,包括但不限于关于采购、 ME、物流、模具等成本和开销总额。基于以上原

 

15


则,该等极星投资成本的总金额可能因为市场等客观因素变化而不断变化,但在任何情形下应以极星届时披露的其实际发生的上述成本可开销总额为准,前提是极星应向公司提供真实、合理的证据证明极星投资成本的金额。

 

  (B)

The term “Unit Investment Fee” means the amount of Polestar Investment Costs to be allocated to each vehicle of each car model to be sold by the Company in China to compensate the Polestar Group for the China portion of the entire Polestar Investment Costs. The specific amount of such Polestar Unit Investment Fee or reduced Unit Investment Fee (“Reduced Unit Investment Fee”) to be paid for each vehicle of each car model are set forth in Appendix II (4.1 Table 4) attached hereto. The Unit Investment Fee (but not the Reduced Unit Investment Fee) should include a mark-up of [***] on the Polestar Investment Cost. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any changes to the Polestar Investment Costs described above, such Unit Investment Fee and Reduced Unit Fee shall be adjusted accordingly.

单车成本费指极星投资成本分摊至在中国销售的每一款车型的每一辆车的金额,以补偿极星集团全部极星投资成本的中国份额。每一车型的每辆车的该等 单车成本费及降低的单车成本费(“降低的单车成本费 ”)的具体金额如本协议附件II(4.1 Table 4)所示。单车成本费(非降低的单车成本费 )应包含极星投资成本的[***]的加成。为免歧义,一旦上述极星投资成本发生变化, 单车成本费降低的单车成本费 应被相应调整。

 

  (C)

Tiered markup. To reasonably set the Unit Investment Fee, the Parties agreed to certain aggregate “Base Volume Targets” and “High Volume Targets” (the specific unit numbers of which are set forth in Appendix II (2-3 Table 2 and Table 3)

 

16


  attached hereto) and an adjustment mechanism as follows: in any given calendar year: (A) with respect to the Company’s actual sales of vehicles of a car model within the Base Volume Target, the sales price to be paid by the Company for each vehicle shall include the Unit Investment Fee applicable to that car model; (B) with respect to sales of any additional vehicles in that year beyond the Base Volume Target but less than the High Volume Target, the sales price to be paid by the Company for each additional vehicle shall include only the Reduced Unit Investment Fee applicable to that car model; and (C) with respect to sales of any vehicles in that year equal or beyond the High Volume Target, the sales price to be paid by the Company for such additional vehicles shall not include any Unit Investment Fee.

阶梯式加成:此外,为合理设定单车成本费金额,双方同意设定若干累计的 基础销量目标高位销量目标”(具体目标数额如本协议附件 II(2-3, Table 2Table 3)所示)及以下加成机制: 在任一日历年度内,(A) 对于某车型在基础销量目标以内的销售,公司就每辆车的购买价格中应包含该 车型单车成本费;(B)对于超过基础销量目标但低于高位销量目标范围内的车辆销售,公司就每辆车的购买价格中应仅包含该车型降低的单车成本费; (C) 对于任何超过高位销量目标的车辆销售,公司就每辆车的购买价格中应不包含任何单车成本费。

 

  (D)

Further Adjustment.

单车价格后期调整

 

  (1)

At the beginning of each calendar year, since factors including Polestar Investment Costs and the aggregate sales volumes remain uncertain, the Polestar Group may reasonably estimate the Unit Investment Fee, and reflect such Unit Investment Fee in the sales price to be paid by

 

17


  the Company for each entire vehicle during such calendar year. The Parties shall pay corresponding compensation as quickly as possible after the end of each calendar year (or at such other time to be mutually agreed by both Parties) based on the actual Polestar Investment Costs and the aggregate sales volumes pursuant to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement.

在每个日历年度初始,由于极星投资成本、销售总量等因素尚不确定,极星集团可以合理预估单车成本费,并将该等单车成本费反映在该日历年度每辆整车支付的销售价格中。每个日历年度结束后 (或者双方一致同意的其它时间),基于实际极星投资成本及销售总量,双方应尽快根据本协议规定的条款和条件支付相应补偿。

 

  (2)

For each of the calendar years of 2023 and 2024,

(a) if the actual aggregate sales volume of the Company is lower than [***], the Company shall pay a lump sum compensation to the Polestar Group as soon as possible at the beginning of 2026 calculated based on the actual gap between (i) the Company’s actual sales of that year and (ii) [***] units, times the Unit Investment Fee according to Appendix II (4.1 Table 4) attached hereto. The remaining Base Volume Target for such years (i.e. [***]) shall be rolled over to 2025 and be added to the Base Volume Target for 2025; or

(b) if the actual aggregate sales volume of the Company are above [***] but below the corresponding Base Volume Target for such years (i.e. [***]), the actual gap between (i) the Company’s actual sales volume of such years and (ii) the Base Volume Target for such years (i.e. [***]) shall be rolled over to 2025 and be added to the Base Volume Target for 2025;

对于2023年和2024年的日历年度,

 

18


(a) 如果公司实际累计销售额低于[***]辆,则公司应在2026年初尽快向极星集团一次性支付补偿金,该补偿金的计算应基于 (i) 公司相应年度的实际销售额与 (ii) [***]辆之间的差额,乘以根据本协议附件二(4.1 4)约定的单车成本费,且相应年度余下的基础销量目标 ([***])应转入到2025年并增加至2025年的基础销量目标;或
