 technology products will likely depend significantly on REE’s ability to provide high quality products and engage with its potential customers as intended, and REE has limited experience in these areas. In addition, REE’s ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the “ Powered by REETM” brand and technology products and the REE brand generally will depend heavily on the success of its customer development and branding efforts. REE’s novel technology and design may not align with existing or potential consumer preferences and consumers may be reluctant to acquire a vehicle built upon a new and unproven SDV platform and/or EV platform. In addition, REE could be subject to adverse publicity related to REE’s potential customers who build vehicles on REE’s Powered by REE and/or REE’s SDV technology whether or not such publicity relates to such potential customers’ “ Powered by REETM” vehicles. Any negative publicity, whether true or not, could quickly proliferate and harm consumer perceptions and confidence in the “ Powered by REETM” brand and/or REE’s technology product and the REE brand generally. If REE does not develop and maintain a strong brand and/or technology products, its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely impacted.

REE is subject to risks associated with strategic partners.

REE’s existing agreements and REE’s ability to engage with definitive agreements with current and potential suppliers, dealer or strategic partners are and will be subject to a number of risks with respect to operations that are outside REE’s control, any of which may materially and adversely affect REE’s business and prospects. REE could experience delays to the extent its current and potential suppliers, dealers or strategic partners do not continue doing business with REE (including as a result of our delay in manufacturing), meet agreed upon timelines, achieve operational efficiencies, experience capacity constraints or otherwise are unable to deliver components or manufacture products as expected. For example, REE and Motherson entered into a Supply Chain Management Services Agreement where Motherson agreed to provide services relating to development, management, and optimization of our supply chain, along with supplier development and management, part development cost management, contract and purchase order management, supply chain management including logistics, compliance and regulatory adherence, crises and risk management, resource planning, and information and technology system integration. Motherson’s inability to optimize and manage our supply chain may result in operational inefficiencies and higher costs (including with respect to sourcing parts) across our supply chain which would impact our operations, business, and financial
