Explanatory Note

 

On June 19, 2023, Lilium N.V. (the “Company” or “Lilium”) published a press release announcing that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Bao’an District in Shenzhen, China, for the opening of a regional Lilium headquarters in Bao’an District as a first step in a partnership to establish a safe and sustainable eVTOL service in China with the Lilium Jet. The collaboration will initially focus on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with plans to grow across China and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.

 

On June 19, 2023, Lilium published a press release announcing that it has signed an agreement with Shenzhen Eastern General Aviation Co., Ltd (“Heli-Eastern”), a major low-altitude general aviation carrier and helicopter service provider in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in China. Under the agreement, Heli-Eastern intends to order 100 Lilium Jets. In addition, the agreement contemplates that Heli-Eastern will partner with Lilium to identify potential sites and partners for Lilium’s vertiports and other ground infrastructure. Heli-Eastern’s purchase of Lilium Jets is subject to the parties agreeing to final commercial terms and entering into definitive agreements with respect thereto. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report on Form 6-K.

 

As part of Lilium’s business strategy, Lilium continues to evaluate capital raising and strategic opportunities from and with a number of sources, including private investors, strategic partners, business counterparties, and government sources. Such opportunities could include joint ventures and strategic partnerships. We may enter into non-binding letters of intent as we assess the commercial appeal of potential transactions. Any potential transactions could be material to our business, financial condition and operating results and may involve the additional issuance of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and/or other securities.
