DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS	NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Description of Business Overview On June 27, 2023, Lordstown Motors Corp., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“Lordstown,” the “Company” or “the Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company ceased production and sales of its flagship vehicle, the Endurance, and new program development. Furthermore, the Company continued its cost-cutting actions that included significant personnel reductions. On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement to sell specified assets related to the design, production and sale of electric light duty vehicles focused on the commercial fleet market free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests. The purchaser assumed certain specified liabilities of the Company for a total purchase price of $10.2 million in cash in a transaction that closed on October 27, 2023 (discussed below under “Sale of Certain Assets to LandX”). The Company’s remaining assets following the closing of the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement consist largely of cash on hand, the claims asserted in the Foxconn Litigation (as defined below), claims that the Company may have against other parties, as well as net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and other tax attributes. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the near-term operations of the Company consist of (a) claims administration under the Plan, (b) addressing the Foxconn Litigation, (c) prosecuting, pursuing, compromising, settling, or otherwise disposing of other retained causes of action, (d) defending the Company against any counterclaims and (e) filing Exchange Act reports and satisfying other regulatory requirements. In the future, the Company may explore potential business opportunities, including strategic alternatives or business combinations, including those designed to maximize the value of the Company’s NOLs. No assurances can be made that we will be successful in prosecuting any claim or cause of action or that any strategic alternative or business combination will be identified and/or would result in profitable operations or the ability to realize any value from the NOLs. We anticipate that the prosecution of claims and causes of action and the evaluation and pursuit of potential strategic alternatives will be costly, complex, and risky. As of the date of this report, the Company has neither entered into a definitive agreement with any party, nor has the Company engaged in any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are presented after giving effect to the 1:15 reverse stock split of the outstanding Class A common stock, which became effective on May 24, 2023. Sale of Certain Assets to LandX On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “LandX Asset Purchase Agreement”) with LAS Capital LLC and Mr. Stephen S. Burns, an individual, as guarantor of certain obligations of LAS Capital under the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement. The LandX Asset Purchase Agreement was assigned to LAS Capital’s affiliate, LandX Motors Inc., a Delaware corporation (the assignee and “Purchaser”) and approved by the Bankruptcy Court on October 18, 2023. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement occurred on October 27, 2023, at which time the Purchaser acquired certain assets held for sale related to the design, production and sale of electric light duty vehicles focused on the commercial fleet market free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests, and assumed certain specified liabilities for a total purchase price of $10.2 million in cash. Upon consummation of the sale, the Company’s investment banker became entitled to a transaction fee of $2.0 million after crediting certain other fees. The transaction fee was paid in January 2024, with no further amounts payable. Emergence From Bankruptcy On September 1, 2023, the Debtors filed a Joint Plan of Lordstown Motors Corp. and Its Affiliated Debtors and a related proposed disclosure statement, which were amended and modified on each of October 24, 2023, October 29, 2023, and October 30, 2023. On January 31, 2024, the Debtors filed the Second Modified First Amended Joint Plan of Lordstown Motors Corp. and Its Affiliated Debtors (the “Plan”). The modifications to the Plan since the previously filed version incorporated, among other things, a settlement (the “Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement”) of claims against the Debtors and certain directors and officers of the Debtors that were serving in such roles as of December 12, 2023, asserted in, or on the same or similar basis as those claims asserted in, the securities class action captioned In re Lordstown Motors Corp. Securities Litigation (the “Ohio Securities Litigation”). The Plan also included, as a condition to confirmation of the Plan, that the SEC approve an offer of settlement submitted by the Debtors to resolve the SEC Claim (as defined below). On March 5, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered a confirmation order confirming the Plan (the “Confirmation Order”). Following the entry of the confirmation order and all conditions to effectiveness of the Plan being satisfied, the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on March 14, 2024 under the name “Nu Ride Inc.” Upon emergence, the SEC Claim was deemed withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the settlement with the SEC and the Confirmation Order. Upon emergence, a new Board of Directors was appointed pursuant to the Plan and all remaining full-time employees, including the Company’s pre-emergence executive officers, were terminated. Some of those employees continue to provide services to the Company as consultants. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is its sole executive officer, was elected by the new Board of Directors in accordance with the Plan, as of the Company’s emergence. Upon emergence, the Company’s primary operations are: (i) resolving claims filed in the bankruptcy, (ii) prosecuting the Foxconn Litigation, (iii) pursuing, compromising, settling or otherwise disposing of other retained causes of action of the Company, and (iv) identifying potential transactions, including business combinations, or otherwise, that could create value, including through permitting the Company to make use of the NOLs, if preserved. Foxconn Litigation On June 27, 2023, the Company commenced an adversary proceeding against Foxconn (the “Foxconn Litigation”) in the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief for fraudulent and tortious conduct as well as breaches of the Investment Agreement (as defined below) and other agreements, the parties’ joint venture agreement, the Foxconn APA (as defined below), and the CMA (as defined below) that the Company believes were committed by Foxconn. As set forth in the complaint relating to the adversary proceeding, the Company believes Foxconn’s actions have caused substantial harm to the Company’s operations and prospects and significant damages. On September 29, 2023, Foxconn filed a motion to dismiss all counts of the Foxconn Litigation and brief in support of the same (the “Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss”), asserting that all of the Company’s claims are subject to binding arbitration provisions and that the Company has failed to state a claim for relief. The Company believes that the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss is without merit and, on November 6, 2023, the Company filed an opposition to Foxconn’s Adversary Motion to Dismiss. Foxconn filed a reply in support of the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss on November 30, 2023. On December 7, 2023, the Company and the Equity Committee filed a notice of completion of briefing, which provided that the briefing of the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss has been completed and such motion is ready for disposition. Oral argument on the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss has not been scheduled. The Company currently intends to continue to vigorously oppose that motion and pursue its claims against Foxconn. If the Bankruptcy Court denies the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss, the Company will continue to prosecute the Foxconn Litigation. Any net proceeds from the Foxconn Litigation may enhance the recoveries for holders of claims and equity interests of shareholders (“Interests”), as set forth in the Plan. However, no assurances can be provided as to the Company having sufficient resources to pursue the Foxconn Litigation, the outcome or recoveries, if any. See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies – Foxconn Litigation for additional information. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our interim financial results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. Liquidity and Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes the Company will continue in operation for one year after the date these consolidated financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.7 million, excluding restricted cash of approximately $57.7 million, an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion at March 31, 2024 and a net loss of $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result of the Company’s accumulated deficit, lack of any immediate sources of revenue, and the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to successfully resolve known and unknown claims that are or may be filed against us, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things: (i) the resolution of significant contingent and other claims, liabilities and (ii) the outcome of the Company’s efforts to realize value, if any, from its retained causes of action, including the Foxconn Litigation, and other remaining assets. The Company intends to explore potential business opportunities, including strategic alternatives or business combinations, including those designed to maximize the value of the Company’s NOLs.
