While we plan for our first three annual production/model years for the purpose of this agreement to be 2022, 2023 and 2024, it is possible that this agreement could extend beyond these model years if we do not achieve ten or more months of production during those annual production/model years. As of December 31, 2020, GM was no longer determined to be a related party. On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into a transaction with Workhorse Group Inc., for the purpose of obtaining certain intellectual property. In connection with granting this license, Workhorse Group received 10% of the outstanding Legacy Lordstown common stock and was entitled to royalties of 1% of the gross sales price of the first 200,000 vehicle sales. In November 2020, we pre-paid a royalty payment to Workhorse Group in the amount of $4.75 million. The upfront royalty payment represents an advance on royalties due on 1% of the gross sales price of the first 200,000 vehicles sold, but only to the extent that the aggregate amount of such royalty fees exceeds the amount paid upfront. The upfront royalty payment was recorded as a prepaid expense as of December 31, 2020, but reclassified to other non-current assets as of September 30, 2021. These amounts will be amortized as a percent of each vehicle sold. As of September 30, 2021, Workhorse Group was no longer determined to be a related party.
