Taking into account both of the Reporting Person's Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, the holdings of the Reporting Person represent approximately 27% of the Issuer's outstanding voting power as of December 11, 2025.

**Item 1. Security and Issuer**

**(a) Title of Class of Securities:**
Class A Ordinary Shares, without par value ("Class A Ordinary Shares")

**(b) Name of Issuer:**
REE Automotive Ltd (the "Company" or Issuer")

**(c) Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:**
Kibbutz Glil-Yam, Kibbutz Glil-Yam, L3, 4690500

The Reporting Person (as defined below) filed a Schedule 13G on February 14, 2023 regarding the beneficial ownership of the securities of the Company. This initial Schedule 13D supersedes the Reporting Person's previously filed Schedule 13G in accordance with Rule 13d-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

The acquisition of the Class A Ordinary Shares by the Reporting Person is for investment purposes. On November 13, 2025, the Company's shareholders approved, among other items, a special cash bonus award for 2024 and an amendment to the terms of employment for the Reporting Person effective as of July 1, 2025, which are more fully described in the Proxy Statement included in a Report on Form 6-K of Foreign Private Issuer furnished by the Company to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 9, 2025 and as further amended by the Company in a Proxy Statement supplement furnished to the SEC on a Report on Form 6-K of Foreign Private Issuer on November 12, 2025.

The amendments to the terms of the Reporting Person's employment included, among other aspects, an annual equity award in the form of restricted share units ("RSUs") with a fair value of $2,000,000, which would vest quarterly in equal portions, over a three-year period commencing on July 1, 2025 ("Equity Awards"). Such $2,000,000 fair value amount would likewise be granted in each subsequent year thereafter with the same vesting terms. The RSUs, which would be granted pursuant to the 2021 Share Incentive Plan, would immediately vest in the event of a change of control of the Company, which includes a Merger/Sale event (as such term is defined in the 2021 Share Incentive Plan).

In addition, the Reporting Person is entitled to receive a one-time equity award in the form of RSUs equal to 10% of the Company's share capital on a fully diluted basis (the "CEO Retention Grant"), which would vest as follows:

            1. 60% of the CEO Retention Grant would vest upon the consummation of a "Strategic Transaction," and

            2. 40% of the CEO Retention Grant would vest based on the Company's future stock price performance, as follows:

                        a. 10% would vest upon the Company's stock achieving and maintaining a closing price of at least $2 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days,

                        b. 10% would vest upon the Company's stock achieving and maintaining a closing price of at least $3 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days,

                        c. 10% would vest upon the Company's stock achieving and maintaining a closing price of at least $4 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days and

                        d. 10% would vest upon the Company's stock achieving and maintaining a closing price of at least $5 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days.

In the event that the Company's fully diluted share capital increases beyond the level established on November 13, 2025, then prior to the consummation of any such "Strategic Transaction" (defined below), additional RSUs would be granted to the Reporting Person to maintain the 10% ownership target that was approved by shareholders on November 13, 2025. A "Strategic Transaction" would include any transaction achieved after January 1, 2025 that includes: (i) a merger, acquisition or other "Change of Control" transaction, (ii) the execution of a strategic commercial agreement that generates annual revenue exceeding $30 million or (iii) any other similar strategic agreement or transaction approved by the Company's Board of Directors as meeting the intent of this definition. For example, a "Strategic Transaction" may include, among others, revenue generating definitive agreements, resulting from the Company's current ongoing business development efforts as that have become revenue generating of the date herein, including, but not limited to, from the Company's previously announced Memorandum of Understanding, dated March 18, 2025.

Additionally, in the event of the "Change of Control" transaction, which includes a Merger/Sale event, as such term is defined in the 2021 Share Incentive Plan, (i) the vesting period of the Reporting Person's Equity Award would be fully accelerated and (ii) the vesting period of the CEO Retention Grant will be fully accelerated. Subject to market conditions, other investment and business opportunities, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations, and other factors deemed relevant to the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Person in open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in each case in accordance with applicable securities laws and the Issuer's policies. Except as set forth in this Item 4 or Item 6 below, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals that relate to, or that would result in, any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act. The Reporting Person reserves the right to change his plans and intentions at any time and to take any actions he may deem appropriate with respect to his investment in the Issuer.

**Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer**

**(a)**
The information set forth in Items 4 and 6 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

The aggregate number and percentage of the Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, including the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated by reference herein.

As of December 11, there were 28,656,046 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding and 2,780,570 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding (which numbers were set forth in the Issuer's Proxy Statement as furnished on a Report on Form 6-K of Foreign Private Issuer to the SEC on December 15, 2025). Collectively, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 1,821,228 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing 6% of the total outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. The percentage was calculated based on the total outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer plus 1,821,228 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable under RSUs and underlying options held by the Reporting Person that are exercisable/issuable, as applicable, within 60 days of December 11, 2025, which are deemed outstanding pursuant to SEC Rule 13-3(d)(1)(i). For the sake of clarity and solely for informational purposes, the foregoing amount of Class A Ordinary Shares excludes 7,411,702 Class A Ordinary Shares that are issuable upon the settlement of RSUs that were granted as part of the Equity Awards and CEO Retention Grant described in Item 4 but which have not yet vested and which are not substantially certain to vest within 60 days of December 11, 2025.

**(b)**
See 5(a) above.

**(c)**
Information set forth under Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person, to the best of his knowledge, has not effected any transaction in the Class A Ordinary Shares in the past 60 days.

**Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.**

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

Except for the matters described herein, including the Reporting Person's applicable employment terms, the Reporting Person has no contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with any other person with respect to the securities of the Issuer described herein.
