Press Release

NEWARK, Calif., Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: LCID; "Lucid") announced today that it priced its underwritten public offering of 262,446,931 shares of its common stock. The underwriter may offer the shares of common stock from time to time for sale in one or more transactions to purchasers directly, through agents or through brokers in brokerage transactions on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods, or otherwise at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The public offering is expected to close on or about October 18, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

Lucid has granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to 39,367,040 additional shares of its common stock.

BofA Securities is acting as the sole underwriter for the public offering.

In addition, Lucid has entered into an agreement with its majority stockholder and affiliate of the Public Investment Fund ("PIF"), Ayar Third Investment Company ("Ayar"), pursuant to which Ayar has agreed to purchase 374,717,927 shares of common stock from Lucid in a private placement, at the same price per share initially paid by the underwriter in the public offering. The private placement is expected to close on October 31, 2024 and is subject to completion of the public offering and customary closing conditions. As a result of these purchases, Ayar expects to maintain its approximate 58.8% ownership of Lucid's outstanding common stock.
