The Company accounted for the issuances of the 2026 Notes and the 2030 Notes as single liabilities measured at its respective amortized cost, as no other embedded features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The fair value of Notes was determined based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, which is considered a Level 2 valuation input. The following table sets forth a summary of the 2026 Notes and the 2030 Notes as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

2030 Notes and Capped Call Transactions
2030 Notes
In April 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of $1,100.0 million principal amount of 5.00% convertible senior notes due in April 2030 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at an issuance price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes were issued pursuant to and are governed by an indenture dated April 8, 2025, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as the trustee. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Notes were $1,081.8 million, net of the debt issuance costs. Contemporaneously with the 2030 Notes offering, the Company entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $1,052.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using $931.4 million of the net proceeds of the 2030 Notes.
The 2030 Notes are unsecured obligations which bear regular interest at 5.00% per annum and are payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2025. The 2030 Notes will mature on April 1, 2030, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2030 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 333.3333 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.00 per share of our Class A common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, including a reverse stock split. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2030 Notes, at the Company’s option, on or after April 6, 2028 if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the day before the redemption date. The holders may require the Company to repurchase the 2030 Notes upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change transactions at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the day before the redemption date.
Holders of the 2030 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2030 Notes at their option prior to January 1, 2030, in multiples of $1,000 principal amounts, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the quarter ended on June 30, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Company’s common stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days at the end of the prior calendar quarter;
during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or
if the Company calls any or all 2030 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the notes called for redemption.
On or after January 1, 2030, the 2030 Notes are convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Holders of the 2030 Notes who convert the 2030 Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes, or in connection with a redemption may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate.
The 2030 Notes were not eligible for conversion as of June 30, 2025. No sinking fund is provided for the 2030 Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire them periodically. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with applicable covenants under the indentures governing the 2030 Notes.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the 2030 Notes offering, the Company paid $118.3 million to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock initially underlying the 2030 Notes. The Capped Call Transactions have an expiration date of April 1, 2030.
The Company expects the Capped Call Transactions generally would reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the notes and/or offset any cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of Lucid’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions. The initial strike price of the Capped Call Transactions corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2030 Notes, or approximately $3.00 per share of the Company’s common stock. The initial cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was $4.80 per share of the Company’s common stock and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
The Capped Call Transactions were separate transactions, entered into by the Company with certain financial institutions, and were not part of the terms of the 2030 Notes. Holders of the 2030 Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. The Company recorded the Capped Call Transactions as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, with no remeasurement in subsequent periods as they meet the conditions for equity classification.
Ayar Prepaid Forward Transaction
In connection with the pricing of the 2030 Notes, Ayar entered into a privately negotiated prepaid forward transaction with a forward counterparty that is an affiliate of one of the initial purchasers of the 2030 Notes (the “Forward Counterparty”), pursuant to which Ayar will purchase approximately $430.0 million of the Company’s common stock with delivery expected to occur on or about the maturity date for the 2030 Notes, subject to the ability of the Forward Counterparty to elect to settle all or a portion of the prepaid forward transaction early.
The Company is not a party to the prepaid forward transaction. In connection with Ayar agreeing to enter into and fund the prepaid forward transaction, the Company has agreed to pay a periodic cash fee to Ayar, which shall initially accrue at a rate of 0.5% per annum on the amount of prepaid forward transaction and be recalculated to reflect any early settlement of the prepaid forward transaction. The periodic fee incurred associated with the prepaid forward transaction was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
2026 Notes
In December 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of $2,012.5 million principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior notes due in December 2026 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at an issuance price equal to 99.5% of the principal amount of 2026 Notes. The Company has designated the 2026 Notes as green bonds, whose proceeds will be allocated in accordance with the Company’s green bond framework. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to and are governed by an indenture dated December 14, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association as the trustee. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes were $1,986.6 million, net of the issuance discount and debt issuance costs.
The 2026 Notes are unsecured obligations which bear regular interest at 1.25% per annum and are payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. The 2026 Notes will mature on December 15, 2026, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2026 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 18.2548 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $54.78 per share of our Class A common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, including a reverse stock split. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, at the Company’s option, on or after December 20, 2024 if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the day before the redemption date. The holders may require the Company to repurchase the 2026 Notes upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change transactions at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the day before the redemption date.
Holders of the 2026 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2026 Notes at their option prior to September 15, 2026, in multiples of $1,000 principal amounts, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the quarter ended on March 31, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Company’s common stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days at the end of the prior calendar quarter;
during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or
if the Company calls any or all 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the notes called for redemption.
On or after September 15, 2026, the 2026 Notes are convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Holders of the 2026 Notes who convert the 2026 Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes, or in connection with a redemption may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate.
In April 2025, contemporaneously with the 2030 Notes offering, the Company repurchased $1,052.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using $931.4 million of the net proceeds of the 2030 Notes. The repurchases of the 2026 Notes were accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The difference between the consideration paid to repurchase a portion of the 2026 Notes principal amount and the then carrying value of the 2026 Notes resulted in a gain of $116.4 million, and was recorded within gain on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Following the redemption, the Company’s outstanding principal balance of the 2026 Notes was $960.0 million.
The 2026 Notes were not eligible for conversion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. No sinking fund is provided for the 2026 Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire them periodically.

SIDF Loan Agreement
On February 27, 2022, Lucid LLC entered into a loan agreement (as subsequently amended, the “SIDF Loan Agreement”) with SIDF, a related party of the PIF, which is an affiliate of Ayar. Under the SIDF Loan Agreement, SIDF has committed to provide loans (the “SIDF Loans”) to Lucid LLC in an aggregate principal amount of up to SAR 5.19 billion (approximately $1.4 billion); provided that SIDF may reduce the availability of SIDF Loans under the facility in certain circumstances.

SIDF Loans are financing and will be used to finance certain costs in connection with the development and construction of AMP-2. Lucid LLC may repay SIDF Loans earlier than the maturity date without penalty. Obligations under the SIDF Loan Agreement do not extend to the Company or any of its other subsidiaries.
