CONTENTS

 

On March 1, 2024, REE Automotive Ltd. (the “Company”) executed an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and Roth Capital Partners LLC (the “Underwriter”) pursuant to which the Company conducted an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 2,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, no par value per share (the “ordinary shares”), at a purchase price of $6.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $13 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has also granted the Underwriter a 20-day option to purchase ordinary shares of up to 300,000 ordinary shares, or 15% of the number of ordinary shares sold in the Public Offering, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 4, 2024, the Underwriter exercised its overallotment option to purchase an additional 300,000 ordinary shares in full. The Public Offering, including the shares issuable upon the exercise of the overallotment option, is expected to close on March 5, 2024.

 

At closing, the Company intends to issue 2,300,000 ordinary shares, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $13.59 million to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Public Offering for general working capital purposes.

 

The ordinary shares are being offered, issued and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-266902) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and declared effective by the Commission on August 25, 2022, the related preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 29, 2024, and the final prospectus supplement dated March 1, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s officers and directors have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s securities held by them for a period of 90 days following the pricing of the Public Offering, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s securities held by them for a period of 20 days following the pricing of the Public Offering, subject to customary exceptions.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions. The Underwriting Agreement provides for indemnification by the Underwriter of the Company, its directors and officers, and by the Company of the Underwriter for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and affords certain rights of contribution with respect thereto.
