ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This document is in two parts. The first part, the prospectus supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, describes the specific terms of this offering and certain matters relating to us. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, provides more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. The accompanying prospectus was filed as part of a registration statement on Form F-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC on August 16, 2022, as part of a “shelf” registration process. Under the shelf registration process, we may sell our Ordinary Shares in one or more offerings. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus supplement, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. We urge you to read carefully this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, before buying our Ordinary Shares being offered under this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement may supplement, update or change information contained in the accompanying prospectus. To the extent that any statement that we make in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with statements made in the accompanying prospectus or any documents incorporated by reference therein, the statements made in this prospectus supplement will be deemed to modify or supersede those made in the accompanying prospectus and such documents incorporated by reference therein.

 

Neither we nor the underwriter have authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different from that contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. We are not, and the underwriter is not, making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information provided by this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein is accurate as of any date other than the respective dates of such documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

 

Before you invest in our Ordinary Shares, you should carefully read the registration statement described in the accompanying prospectus (including the exhibits thereto) of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part, as well as this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. The documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement are described under “Documents Incorporated by Reference.”

 

Except as expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “REE” and the “Company” refer to REE Automotive Ltd.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

We have disclosed financials measurements in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus that present financial information that is considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although our management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring our on-going financial performance. Non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses and non-GAAP operating expenses exclude the impact of stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share also exclude nonrecurring or unusual items that are considered by management to be outside our standard operations and certain non-cash items. Adjusted ABITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement that is considered by management to be useful in comparing the profitability among companies by reflecting operating results of the Company excluding such items.

 

There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to potential differences among calculation methodologies. Thus, there can be no assurance where (i) items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will occur in the future or (ii) there will be cash costs associated with items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus supplement and certain documents incorporated by reference herein include certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding REE or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.

The words “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would’, “target” and similar expressions (or the negative version of such words or expressions) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and certain documents incorporated by reference herein may include, among other things, statements about REE’s strategic and business plans, technology, relationships, objectives and expectations for our business, the impact of trends on and interest in our business, intellectual property or product and its future results, operations and financial performance and condition.

These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond REE’s control. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and certain documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date made and REE undertakes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws. In light of these risks and uncertainties, investors should keep in mind that results, events or developments discussed in any forward-looking statement made in this communication may not occur.

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and does not contain all the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. You should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, before deciding whether to invest in our Ordinary Shares.

 

Company Overview

 

REE is an automotive technology company focused on building commercial electric vehicles controlled fully by-wire. Unbound by legacy thinking, REE created the world’s first certified, software-driven, fully by-wire electric vehicle, built around its proprietary REEcorner™, which packs critical vehicle components into a single compact module positioned between the chassis and the wheel.

 

The REEcornerTM, the Company’s proprietary by-wire technology for drive, steer and brake control, enables key benefits for building commercial electric trucks such as reduction in total cost of ownership and operational efficiency.

 

REE’s technology, which is patent protected, and design make it possible for OEMs, delivery and logistics fleets, dealers, e-commerce retailers, Mobility-as-a-Service providers and others, to build any size or shape of electric vehicle. With its first full by-wire electric vehicle, REE is currently focused primarily on the medium-duty truck segment due to the large total addressable market, increased tax incentives for customers, and strong demand from fleets to electrify their fleets.

 

By completing and not competing with OEMs, REE can partner with other vehicle manufacturers in the automotive industry where electric and autonomous vehicles will be “powered by REE™”.

 

Reverse Share Split

 

On October 18, 2023, REE effected a reverse share split of REE’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at the ratio of 1-for-30, such that (i) each thirty (30) Class A ordinary shares, without par value, were consolidated into one (1) Class A ordinary share, without par value and (2) each thirty (30) Class B ordinary shares, without par value, were consolidated into one (1) Class B ordinary share, without par value. As a result, all Ordinary Class A shares, Ordinary Class B shares, options for Ordinary Class A Shares, exercise price and net loss per share amounts were adjusted retroactively for all periods presented above as if the stock reverse split had been in effect as of the date of these periods. For more information see the Company’s 6-K filed with SEC on October 16, 2023, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

 

Financial Update

 

While we have not finalized our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, based on our current estimates we had approximately $86 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023 compared to approximately $105 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2023. We also expect our net loss in the second half of year 2023 to be between $57 million and $65 million, mainly increased as a result of increased non-recurring engineering expenses. The estimated financial information for the six months ended December 31, 2023, included in this prospectus supplement is preliminary and is subject to change. The preliminary financial information included in this prospectus supplement has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management. Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the preliminary financial information. Accordingly, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, report incorporated by reference into this document relates to our previously issued financial statements. It does not extend to the preliminary financial information and should not be read to do so.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Ordinary Shares involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with the risk factors described in reports we file with the SEC and incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus, as well as all of the other information in, and incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including in our 2022 Annual Report. If any of these risks were to materialize, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on us. In that event, you may lose all or part of your investment in the Ordinary Shares.

 

 Risks Related to the Current Condition in Israel

 

We conduct our operations in Israel. Conditions in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against them, may adversely affect our operations.

 

Our executive offices where most of our employees are employed, are located in Kibbutz Glil-Yam, Israel. In addition, the majority of our key employees, officers, and directors are Israeli citizens. Accordingly, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and groups in its neighboring countries, Hamas (an Islamist militia and political group that has controlled the Gaza Strip) and Hezbollah (an Islamist militia and political group based in Lebanon). These conflicts have involved missile strikes, hostile infiltrations and terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, which have negatively affected business conditions in Israel.

 

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and the Israeli military began to call-up reservists for active duty. Moreover, the clash between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. In the months since the initial attack by Hamas, clashes with Hezbollah on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon and attacks on Israeli-controlled or owned ships in the Red Sea by members of the Houthi Movement in Yemen have taken place. It is possible that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank, as well as other hostile countries, such as Iran, will join the hostilities and that such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict.

 

Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region, or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport between Israel and its trading partners could make it more difficult for us to raise capital and adversely affect our operations and results of operations and the market price of our Ordinary Shares. At this time, it is not possible to predict the intensity or duration of the war, nor can we predict how this war will ultimately affect Israel’s economy in general, which may involve additional credit rating agencies downgrading Israel’s credit rating score after Moody’s downgrading of Israel’s credit rating from A1 to A2 and outlook rating from “stable” to “negative”, and we continue to monitor the situation closely and examine the potential disruptions that could adversely affect our operations.

  

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or, if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Further, majority of the members of our management and employees are located and reside in Israel. Shelter-in-place and work-from-home measures, government-imposed restrictions on movement and travel and other precautions taken to address the ongoing conflict may temporarily disrupt our management and employees’ ability to effectively perform their daily tasks.

 

Further, many Israeli citizens are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases, more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older for certain reservists) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to the series of attacks on civilian and military targets in October 2023, there have been significant call-ups of military reservists. Although many such military reservists have been discharged, they may be called up again depending on how events unfold. Our operations could be disrupted by such call-ups.

 

S-3

 

 

It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business, operations and financial condition. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt our business and operations, and adversely affect our ability to raise additional funds or sell our securities, among other impacts.

 

Political instability in Israel, originating before October 2023, could also disrupt our operations. Having held five general elections between 2019 and 2022, government policy is subject to regular disruptive changes. The current government of Israel has pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system. In response to the foregoing developments, individuals, organizations and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed changes may negatively impact the business environment in Israel including reluctance of foreign investors to invest or transact business in Israel as well as increased currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates, increased volatility in securities markets, and other changes in macroeconomic conditions within Israel. Currently, the proposed judicial reforms been put on hold due to the ongoing focus on the war, while the Supreme Court of Israel ruled that the judicial reform passed into legislation relating to reasonability is unconstitutional. If such changes to the judicial system resume and take effect, however, there may be an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our ability to raise additional funds.

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Financial Condition

 

We have a history of losses and expect to incur substantial future losses. Based on our current business plan under which we intend to start mass production in the coming 12 months, we have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to obtain sufficient additional funding or do not have access to capital, to finance our current business plan, we may be required to make significant changes in our business plan, and business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

 

Our ability to successfully carry out our business plan is primarily dependent upon our ability to raise sufficient additional capital. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed to support our operations. Since inception, we have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net comprehensive loss of $107.4 million and $78.9 million, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations, capital expenditure and working capital requirements through capital contributions, private placements of equity securities, investments from certain strategic partners, and from the consummation of the merger with 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp.

 

In addition, in connection with our future filing of our annual report on Form 20-F, although we expect to receive $               in gross proceeds from this offering, we expect that we will disclose in such filing that we will not have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for more than one year beyond the filing date of annual report and therefore there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, we expect that the opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm on our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 will contain an explanatory paragraph about such substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may not be able to continue our operations on the scope or scale as currently conducted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering

 

Management has broad discretion as to the use of proceeds of this offering, and we may not use these proceeds in a manner desired by our shareholders.

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Our needs may change as our business evolves. As a result, the proceeds to be received in this offering may be used in a manner significantly different from our current expectations. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return.

 

S-4

 

 

Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors.

 

Since July 2021, our share price has ranged from a high of $349.84 to a low of $2.30 (taking into account the one-for-thirty reverse stock split completed on October 16, 2023), and the market price of our Ordinary Shares is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also significantly affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Sales of a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause our share price to fall.

 

We may issue and sell additional Ordinary Shares in the public markets, including under this prospectus supplement. As a result, a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares may be sold in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares in the public markets, including during this offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our Ordinary Shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Ordinary Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional Ordinary Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Ordinary Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

 

We expect that we will need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available to us when we need them, or may only be available on unfavorable terms. As a result, we may be unable to meet our future capital requirements, which could limit its ability to grow and jeopardize its ability to continue its business operations.

 

Following the completion of this offering, we expect that we will need to raise additional capital to respond to customer demands, including production ramp up, business opportunities, challenges, technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and we may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities. In order to further business relationships with our potential customer base or partners, we may issue equity or equity-linked securities to potential customers or partners. We may not be able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt or other equity-linked securities or if we issue equity or equity-linked securities to potential customers to further business relationships, our existing stockholders could experience significant dilution. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to its capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require them, we would need to scale back our operations or decrease the level of investment in product development and production ramp up which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges.

 

There may be future dilution of our Ordinary Shares, which could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

We are not restricted from issuing additional Ordinary Shares from time to time. For example, we may issue at any time, including during this offering, additional Ordinary Shares to raise cash for future capital expenditures or for other purposes. We may also acquire interests in other companies by using a combination of cash and our Ordinary Shares or just our Ordinary Shares. We may also issue securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive our Ordinary Shares, or the conversion price of our currently outstanding convertible securities may be adjusted. Any of these events may dilute your ownership interest in us, reduce our earnings per share and have an adverse effect on the price of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, sales of a substantial amount of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could reduce the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Risks Related to Our Production Plan

 

Our production plan is focused on scaling up production to low hundreds of vehicles in the U.S. by the end of 2024 and low thousands by end of 2025. Such target is subject to a variety of risks, including the completion of our production tooling investment plan, sourcing materials and components from our suppliers on our agreed upon deadlines and securing sufficient funding. 

 

As we previously reported, our business plan includes scaling up the production of low hundreds of trucks in the U.S. by the end of 2024 and low thousands by end of 2025. However, this production plan relies on our ability to complete our production tooling investment plan, securing materials from our suppliers on our agreed upon deadlines and securing funding of approximately $20 million, primarily for working capital purposes. If we are unable to complete our production tooling investment plan, or if our suppliers face delays in delivering materials to us from our expected timelines, we may not meet our production plan for the production of low hundreds of vehicles in the U.S. by the end of 2024 or low thousands by end of 2025. In addition, our production plan relies on our ability to finance the required working capital needs by raising sufficient funds in an amount of approximately $20 million therefore, if we are unable to secure sufficient funding, we may not meet our production targets. Not meeting our 2024 or 2025 production targets could materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate the net proceeds to us from the sale of the Ordinary Shares offered by us in this offering will be approximately $           million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. If the underwriter’s option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares in this offering is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $           million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Ordinary Shares for working capital and general corporate purposes, including continued product development and commercialization. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. As a result, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds of the offerings.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

UNDERWRITING

 

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth Capital Partners”), as the sole underwriter, with respect to the Ordinary Shares subject to this offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase from us,             Ordinary Shares. Our Ordinary Shares trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “REE.”

 

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the underwriter to purchase the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is subject to certain conditions. The underwriter is obligated to purchase all of the Ordinary Shares offered hereby if any of the Ordinary Shares are purchased. We have granted the underwriter an option to buy up to an additional             Ordinary Shares from us at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter may exercise this option at any time, in whole or in part, during the 20-day period after the date of this prospectus supplement; however, the underwriter may only exercise the option once.

 

M&G has indicated an interest in purchasing up to an aggregate of approximately $             of the Ordinary Shares in this offering at the public offering price. However, because indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the underwriter may sell more, less or no Ordinary Shares in this offering to M&G, or M&G may determine to purchase more, less or no Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

Discounts, Commissions and Expenses

 

The underwriter proposes to offer Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the underwriting agreement to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $             per share. After this offering, the public offering price and concession may be changed by the underwriter. No such change shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.

 

In connection with the sale of the Ordinary Shares to be purchased by the underwriter, the underwriter will be deemed to have received compensation in the form of underwriting commissions and discounts.

 

The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriter by us in connection with this offering (assuming both the exercise and non-exercise of the over-allotment option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares we have granted to the underwriter):

In addition, each of our directors and executive officers has entered into a lock-up agreement with the underwriter. Under the lock-up agreements, the directors and executive officers may not, directly or indirectly, (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the SEC in respect of, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (including without limitation, Ordinary Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant), (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Ordinary Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or (4) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specific in clause (1), (2) or (3) above, in each case without the prior written consent of Roth Capital Partners, for a period of 90 days from the pricing date of this offering.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made available in electronic format on websites or through other online services maintained by the underwriter or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. Other than this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s websites or our website and any information contained in any other websites maintained by the underwriter or by us is not part of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriter in its capacity as underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

 

In connection with the offering the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:

 

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

 

Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriter of Ordinary Shares in excess of the number of Ordinary Shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of Ordinary Shares over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of Ordinary Shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of Ordinary Shares involved is greater than the number of Ordinary Shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing Ordinary Shares in the open market.

 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Ordinary Shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of Ordinary Shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of Ordinary Shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase Ordinary Shares through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriter sell more Ordinary Shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying Ordinary Shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the Ordinary Shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the Ordinary Shares originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our Ordinary Shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Ordinary Shares. As a result, the price of our Ordinary Shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

 

Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

United Kingdom

 

The Ordinary Shares are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“UK”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“EUWA”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.

The distribution of our securities may be carried out, from time to time, in one or more transactions, including:

 

  block transactions and transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other organized market where the securities may be traded;

 

  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to a prospectus supplement;

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  sales “at the market” to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; or

 

  sales in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers.

 

A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

 

  the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

  the method of distribution;

 

  the public offering price or purchase price and the proceeds to us from that sale;

 

  the expenses of the offering;

 

  any discounts to be allowed or paid to the underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

  all other items constituting underwriting compensation and the discounts to be allowed or paid to dealers, if any; and

 

  any other information regarding the distribution of the securities that we believe to be material.

 

Underwriters may offer and sell the securities at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may, from time to time, authorize agents acting on a best or reasonable efforts basis as our agents to solicit or receive offers to purchase the securities upon the terms and conditions as are set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of securities, underwriters or agents may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts and may also receive commissions from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts or concessions from the underwriters and commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of securities and their controlling persons may be entitled, under agreements that may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments that the underwriters, dealers or agents and their controlling persons may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

 

We may also make direct sales through subscription rights distributed to our existing shareholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable. In any distribution of subscription rights to our shareholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties.

 

Certain persons participating in an offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities. If any such activities will occur, they will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and executive officers and any Israeli experts named in this registration statement, most of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because a majority of our assets and most of our directors and executive officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of them may be difficult to collect within the United States.

 

We have irrevocably appointed Puglisi & Associates located at 850 Library Avenue, Newark, Delaware 19711, +1 (302) 738-6680 as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering.

 

We have been informed by our Israeli counsel, Goldfarb Seligman & Co., that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws on the basis that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

 

Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Exchange Act, and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that, among other things, the following key conditions are met:

 

  the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the judgment is enforceable according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted;

 

  the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel; and

 

  the substance of the judgment and its enforcement is not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel.

 

Even if the above conditions are met, an Israeli court will not enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter if:

 

  the judgment was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases and a request by the attorney general);

 

  the judgment was obtained by fraud;

 

  the opportunity given to the defendant to bring its arguments and evidence before the court was not reasonable in the opinion of the Israeli court;

 

  the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law as they apply in Israel;

 

  the judgment is contradictory to another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or

 

  at the time the action was brought in the foreign court, a lawsuit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel.

 

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in NIS, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in NIS at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in non-Israeli currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in NIS ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

 

Available Information

 

We are subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers. Accordingly, we are required to file reports and other information with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 20-F and disclosure furnished under cover of Form 6-K. The SEC maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports and other information regarding issuers, such as us, that file electronically with the SEC. We also maintain a website (https://ree.auto/), from which you can access such reports and other information free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

 

Incorporation by Reference

 

The SEC’s rules allow us to “incorporate by reference” information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus, and later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. This prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement incorporate by reference the documents set forth below that have previously been filed with the SEC (other than those documents or the portions of those documents that are “furnished” unless otherwise specified below):

 

  our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022;

 

  our current report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 17, 2022 (other than Exhibit 99.1 thereto);

 

  our current report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on August 16, 2022 (other than Exhibit 99.1 thereto); and

 

  the description of our ordinary shares contained in Exhibit 2.6 to our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

In addition, any other reports on Form 6-K that we subsequently furnish to the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act prior to the termination of an offering made pursuant to this prospectus, but excluding any information furnished to, rather than filed with, the SEC, will also be incorporated by reference into this prospectus (if they state that they are incorporated by reference into this prospectus) and deemed to be part of this registration statement from the date of the filing of such documents.
