NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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 represented an advance on the royalties discussed above. The upfront royalty payment was recorded as other non-current assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, Workhorse Group was no longer determined to be a related party.

As described in Note 1, the Company invested $13.5 million into the Foxconn Joint Venture, of which the Company owns 45%. The Company expects that the Foxconn Joint Venture will reimburse certain of the Company’s costs, to the extent incurred, as they relate to the development efforts undertaken by the Foxconn Joint Venture. We intend to negotiate a Management Services Agreement with the Foxconn Joint Venture in order to address the services to be provided by the Company to the Foxconn Joint Venture. The board of managers of the Foxconn Joint Venture and the Company also intend to implement a process to review and approve all material transactions between the Foxconn Joint Venture and the Company. Our employees will perform agreed-upon work on behalf of the Foxconn Joint Venture, at the direction of its board of managers, that will be reimbursed in accordance with the approved Foxconn Joint Venture budget and at a value representing our cost.
