NEWARK, Calif., Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: LCID) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $875,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Lucid also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the notes are first issued, to purchase up to an additional $100,000,000 principal amount of notes.

The Notes

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Lucid, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears, and will mature on November 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted. Noteholders will only have the right to convert their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. Lucid will settle conversions of notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at Lucid's election. The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Lucid's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 6, 2028 and on or before the 31st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Lucid's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain liquidity conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing of the offering.

Lucid intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and its estimated offering expenses, to repurchase a portion of its outstanding 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and for general corporate purposes.

Repurchases of Outstanding 2026 Notes

Concurrently with the offering, Lucid expects to enter into one or more separate and individually negotiated transactions with one or more holders of the 2026 notes to repurchase for cash a portion of the 2026 notes on terms to be negotiated with each holder.

Ayar Prepaid Forward Transaction

In connection with the pricing of the notes, Lucid expects Ayar Third Investment Company ("Ayar"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the PIF, to enter into a privately negotiated prepaid forward transaction with a forward counterparty that is an affiliate of one of the initial purchasers, pursuant to which Ayar will purchase a number of shares of Lucid's common stock with delivery expected to occur on or about the maturity date for the notes, subject to the ability of the forward counterparty to elect to settle all or a portion of the prepaid forward transaction early. Subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement governing the prepaid forward transaction, the prepaid forward transaction will be settled physically, subject to Ayar's option to elect cash settlement of the prepaid forward transaction. Lucid will not be a party to the prepaid forward transaction.

The prepaid forward transaction is generally intended to facilitate privately negotiated derivative transactions, including swaps, between the forward counterparty or its affiliates and investors in the notes relating to Lucid's common stock by which investors in the notes will hedge their investments in the notes. Ayar's entry into the prepaid forward transaction with the forward counterparty and the entry by the forward counterparty into derivative transactions in respect of Lucid's common stock with the investors of the notes could have the effect of increasing (or reducing the size of any decrease in) the market price of Lucid's common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes and effectively raising the initial conversion price of the notes.

The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of Lucid's common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any shares of Lucid's common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.

Additional information about the transactions described in this press release can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K that Lucid intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with this press release.
