PART III – NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Form 20-F”) by the prescribed filing deadline (April 30, 2024). Additional time is needed for the Company to close its books and records, complete its financial statement preparation and finalize its review process for the year ended December 31, 2023. The additional time required to close the Company’s books and records includes the evaluation and quantification of certain errors in historical 2021 and 2022 annual and interim financial statements.

It is the Company’s preliminary view that the historical errors identified as of the date hereof are expected to: (i) positively impact net loss by less than five percent (5%) for 2021, and (ii) negatively impact net loss by less than five percent (5%) for 2022.

Additional time is also required by the Company to complete the additional work required for management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2023, as this is the first year that the Company is subject to this requirement. The Company is working to file the Form 20-F as soon as practicable.

Forward-Looking Statements

This notification on Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements. These statements constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s beliefs, plans and expectations, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the estimated impact of accounting errors on historical periods identified by the Company. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the identification of additional accounting errors and/or a final assessment of errors already identified that differs significantly from the Company’s preliminary view of such errors. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in the Company’s filings with the SEC. All information provided in this notification is as of the date of this notification, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.
