Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 8, 2021, Lucid Group, Inc. (the “Company”) repurchased an aggregate of 857,825 shares of its Class A Common Stock from certain individuals (the “Individual Sellers”) who were directors and employees of the Company’s predecessor, Atieva, Inc. (“Atieva”) (such transactions, the “Repurchases”). The repurchase price was $24.15 per share, which is equal to the average closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the three trading day period ending on and including October 6, 2021, the second trading day prior to the date of the Repurchases. The Repurchases were effected pursuant to voluntary individual agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) with each of the Individual Sellers.

 

The Repurchases were effected solely to allow the Individual Sellers to satisfy certain tax obligations (including tax withholding obligations of the Company) incurred in connection with such Individual Sellers’ purchase of shares of Series E Preferred Stock from Atieva on April 2, 2021. At the closing of the Repurchases, the Company applied the proceeds to remitting required tax withholding to the applicable U.S. tax authorities.

 

The Individual Sellers included Peter Rawlinson, a director of the Company and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer, from whom the Company repurchased 178,796 shares; Eric Bach, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Product and Chief Engineer, from whom the Company repurchased 195,557 shares; Michael Bell, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Digital, from whom the Company repurchased 33,526 shares; and Tony Posawatz, a director of the Company, from whom the Company repurchased 14,511 shares.

 

The Repurchases and the Repurchase Agreements were approved by the Audit Committee and by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors exempted the Repurchases from the application of Article 5, Section 5.04 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, which otherwise restricts holders of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that were acquired in exchange for shares of Atieva from transferring such shares until January 19, 2022.
