Explanatory Note:

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends the statement on the Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 23, 2022 (the “Amendment No. 1”), which amends the Schedule 13D originally filed on July 7, 2022 (together with the Amendment No.1, the “Schedule 13D”), by Polestar Automotive Holding Limited, PSD Investment Limited, PSD Capital Limited, PSINV AB, Snita Holding B.V., Volvo Car Corporation, Volvo Car AB, Geely Sweden Holdings AB, Shanghai Geely Zhaoyuan International Investment Co., Ltd, Beijing Geely Wanyuan International Investment Co., Ltd, Beijing Geely Kaisheng International Investment Co., Ltd, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company Limited, and Eric Li (Shufu Li). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

 

The reporting persons for this Amendment are Geely Sweden Holdings AB, Shanghai Geely Zhaoyuan International Investment Co., Ltd, Beijing Geely Wanyuan International Investment Co., Ltd, Beijing Geely Kaisheng International Investment Co., Ltd, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company Limited, and Eric Li (Shufu Li) (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

Polestar Automotive Holding Limited and PSINV AB, who were reporting persons for the Schedule 13D, are not required to participate in this Amendment because they have made exit filings and are no longer reporting persons for purposes of the Schedule 13D and any subsequent amendments thereto.

 

PSD Investment Limited, PSD Capital Limited, Snita Holding B.V., Volvo Car Corporation, and Volvo Car AB, who were also reporting persons for the Schedule 13D, are not required to participate in this Amendment because their respective shareholdings in the Issuer remain unchanged since the filing of the Amendment No.1, and the change of their beneficial ownership is caused by the change in the amount of outstanding securities of the Issuer and is not substantial.

 

The change in the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership is caused by the distributions in species to limited partners who are not affiliated with the Reporting Persons and other forms of disposition of the Issuers’ shares by GLY New Mobility, Northpole 1, and Northpole 2 during January to May 2023, which entities are indirectly controlled by the Reporting Persons. Saxo HK and Saxo SG, which are indirectly controlled by one of the Reporting Persons, Eric Li (Shufu Li), received distributions in species of the Issuer’s shares from Northpole 2. Northpole 2 no longer holds any share of the Issuer. See Item 2 below under the subtitle Explanatory Note Regarding the Relationships of the Reporting Persons - Non-Reporting Persons Indirectly Controlled by the Reporting Persons for a description of the shareholding structure of the abovementioned entities.

 

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

 

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety as follows. Certain information about PSD Investment Limited, PSD Capital Limited, Snita Holding B.V., Volvo Car Corporation, and Volvo Car AB are omitted because they are not Reporting Persons for purposes of this Amendment.

The Reporting Persons will routinely monitor a wide variety of investment considerations, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Shares, the Issuer’s operations, assets, prospects, business development, markets and capitalization, the Issuer’s management and personnel, Issuer-related competitive and strategic matters, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, as well as other investment considerations. The Reporting Persons expect to discuss their investment in the Issuer and the foregoing investment considerations with the Issuer’s Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”), management, other investors, industry analysts and others. These considerations, these discussions and other factors may result in the Reporting Persons’ consideration of various alternatives with respect to their investment, including possible changes in the present Board of Directors and/or management of the Issuer or other alternatives to increase stockholder value. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Issuer securities in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise or may determine to sell, trade or otherwise dispose of all or some holdings in the Issuer in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or take any other lawful action they deem to be in their best interests.

 

The Non-Reporting Persons, which are not Reporting Persons to this Schedule 13D but indirectly controlled by the Geely Reporting Persons and/or Eric Li (Shufu Li), as applicable, may, from time to time, sell the securities of the Issuer that they directly hold on the open market, make distributions in species to their respective limited partners who are not affiliated with the Reporting Persons, or hold the Issuer’s shares on behalf of clients who are not affiliated with the Reporting Persons, as applicable. For purpose of this Schedule 13D, securities of the Issuer directly held by the Non-Reporting Persons are deemed to be beneficially owned by the Geely Reporting Persons and/or Eric Li (Shufu Li), as applicable. See subtitle “Non-Reporting Persons Indirectly Controlled by the Reporting Persons” above for a description of the Non-Reporting Persons’ shareholding structure.

 

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no Reporting Person has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of such directors or to fill any existing vacancies on such board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in subclauses (a)-(i) above. There is no assurance that the Reporting Persons will develop any plans or proposals with respect to any of these matters. However, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate plans or proposals which would relate to or result in the transactions described in subclauses (a) through (j) of this Item 4.

 

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

Item 5(a)—(c) of the Schedule 13D are each hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

(a), (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 7 through 13 of the respective cover pages of the individual Reporting Persons to this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Geely Sweden, Shanghai Geely, Beijing Geely Wanyuan, Beijing Geely Kaisheng, and Zhejiang Geely’s aggregate percentage of beneficial ownership is approximately 49.1% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer.

 

Eric Li (Shufu Li)’ s aggregate percentage of beneficial ownership is approximately 88.3% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer.
