These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "potential," "projects," "predicts," "continue," "could" or "should," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such terms. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

**NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS**

**Description of Business**

*Overview* 

On June 27, 2023, Lordstown Motors Corp., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries ("Lordstown," the "Company," or the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court").

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company ceased production and sales of its flagship vehicle, the Endurance, and new program development. Furthermore, the Company continued its cost-cutting actions that included significant personnel reductions. On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below) to sell specified assets related to the design, production and sale of electric light duty vehicles focused on the commercial fleet market free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests. The purchaser acquired the assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of the Company for a total purchase price of $10.2 million in cash in a transaction that closed on October 27, 2023 (discussed below under "Sale of Certain Assets to LandX"). The Company's remaining assets following the closing of the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement consist largely of cash on hand, the claims asserted in the Foxconn Litigation (as defined below), claims that the Company may have against other parties, as well as net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and other tax attributes.

Since emergence from bankruptcy, the near-term operations of the Company consist of (a) claims administration under the Second Modified First Amended Joint Plan of Lordstown Motors Corp. and Its Affiliated Debtors (the "Plan"), (b) addressing the Foxconn Litigation, (c) prosecuting, pursuing, compromising, settling, or otherwise disposing of other retained causes of action, (d) defending the Company against any counterclaims and (e) filing Exchange Act reports and satisfying other regulatory requirements.

In the future, the Company may explore potential business opportunities, including strategic alternatives or business combinations and/or make loans or other investments pending any such transaction. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in prosecuting any claim or cause of action or that any strategic alternative or business combination, and/or other transaction, will be identified and/or would result in profitable operations or the ability to preserve any value from the NOLs. The Company anticipates that the prosecution of claims and causes of action and the evaluation and pursuit of potential strategic alternatives and/or other transaction will be costly, complex, and risky. As of the date of this report, the Company has neither entered into a definitive agreement with any party, nor has the Company engaged in any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all shares of the Company's Class A common stock are presented after giving effect to the 1:15 reverse stock split of the outstanding Class A common stock, which became effective on May 24, 2023.

*Emergence From Bankruptcy*

On September 1, 2023, the Debtors filed a Joint Plan of Lordstown Motors Corp. and Its Affiliated Debtors and a related proposed disclosure statement, which were amended and modified on each of October 24, 2023, October 29, 2023, and October 30, 2023. On January 31, 2024, the Debtors filed the Plan. The modifications to the Plan since the previously filed version incorporated, among other things, a settlement (the "Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement") of claims against the Debtors and certain directors and officers of the Debtors that were serving in such roles as of December 12, 2023, asserted in, or on the same or similar basis as those claims asserted in, the securities class action captioned In re Lordstown Motors Corp. Securities Litigation (the "Ohio Securities Litigation"). The Plan also included, as a condition to confirmation of the Plan, that the SEC approve an offer of settlement submitted by the Debtors to resolve the SEC Claim (as defined below).

On March 5, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered a confirmation order confirming the Plan. Following the entry of the confirmation order and all conditions to effectiveness of the Plan being satisfied, the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on March 14, 2024 under the name "Nu Ride Inc." Upon emergence, the SEC Claim was deemed withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the settlement with the SEC and the confirmation order. Upon emergence, a new Board of Directors was appointed pursuant to the Plan and all remaining full-time employees, including the Company's pre-emergence executive officers, were terminated. Some of those employees continue to provide services to the Company as consultants. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is its sole executive officer, was elected by the new Board of Directors in accordance with the Plan, as of the Company's emergence.

*Foxconn Litigation*

On June 27, 2023, the Company commenced an adversary proceeding against Foxconn (the "Foxconn Litigation") in the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief for fraudulent and tortious conduct as well as breaches of the Investment Agreement and other agreements, the parties' joint venture agreement, the Foxconn APA, and the CMA (each as defined in Note 7) that the Company believes were committed by Foxconn. As set forth in the complaint relating to the adversary proceeding, the Company believes Foxconn's actions have caused substantial harm to the Company's operations and prospects and caused significant damages.

On September 29, 2023, Foxconn filed a motion to dismiss all counts of the Foxconn Litigation and brief in support of the same (the "Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss"), asserting that all of the Company's claims are subject to binding arbitration provisions and that the Company has failed to state a claim for relief. The Company believes that the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss is without merit and, on November 6, 2023, the Company filed an opposition to Foxconn's Adversary Motion to Dismiss. Foxconn filed a reply in support of the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss on November 30, 2023. On December 7, 2023, the Company and its equity committee (the "Equity Committee") filed a notice of completion of briefing, which provided that the briefing of the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss has been completed and such motion is ready for disposition.

On August 1, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered an opinion and order partially denying and partially granting the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss, which was subsequently amended on October 1, 2024. Nine of the Company's claims survived the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the Company pled viable claims against Foxconn and the claims were not subject to mandatory arbitration. The Court also dismissed two of the Company's claims in favor of arbitration. The order is presently being appealed by Foxconn. The Bankruptcy Court has stayed litigation of the claims that it ruled were not subject to arbitration pending that appeal. The Court also allowed that the two dismissed claims should proceed to arbitration. The Company is vigorously pursuing this litigation. Any net proceeds from the Foxconn Litigation may enhance the recoveries for holders of claims and equity interests of shareholders ("Interests"), as set forth in the Plan. However, no assurances can be provided as to the Company having sufficient resources to pursue the Foxconn Litigation, the outcome or recoveries, if any.

See Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies - Foxconn Litigation for additional information.

*Sale of Certain Assets to LandX* 

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "LandX Asset Purchase Agreement") with LAS Capital LLC and Mr. Stephen S. Burns, as guarantor of certain obligations of LAS Capital under the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement. The LandX Asset Purchase Agreement was assigned to LAS Capital's affiliate, LandX Motors Inc., a Delaware corporation (the assignee and "Purchaser") and approved by the Bankruptcy Court on October 18, 2023. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement occurred on October 27, 2023, at which time the Purchaser acquired certain assets held for sale related to the design, production and sale of electric light duty vehicles focused on the commercial fleet market free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests, and assumed certain specified liabilities for a total purchase price of $10.2 million in cash. Upon consummation of the sale, the Company's investment banker became entitled to a transaction fee of $2.0 million after crediting certain other fees. The transaction fee was paid in January 2024, with no further amounts payable.

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation**

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

**Liquidity**

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $26.8 million, excluding restricted cash of approximately $2.7 million and restricted short-term investments of approximately $19.7 million, an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion at June 30, 2025, and a net loss of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company's liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things: (i) the resolution of significant contingent and other claims, liabilities and (ii) the outcome of the Company's efforts to realize value, if any, from its retained causes of action, including the Foxconn Litigation, and other remaining assets.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the date one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using its restricted short-term investments to pay for settled claims and both its cash and cash equivalents and unrestricted short-term investments for paying existing accrued expenses and legal and consulting fees expected to be incurred.

**NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation**

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of changes are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. The Chapter 11 Cases may result in ongoing, additional changes in facts and circumstances that may cause the Company's estimates and assumptions to change, potentially materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of the disclosures, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Fresh Start Accounting**

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company assessed the requirements of fresh start accounting as required in Accounting Standards Codification 852: *Reorganizations* ("ASC 852"). Based on the Company's assessment, management concluded that the Company does not qualify for fresh start accounting under ASC 852 upon emergence from bankruptcy. Management's conclusion was based on the fact that the total of all post-petition liabilities and reserve for allowed claims did not exceed the reorganization value, and the holders of existing voting shares immediately prior to confirmation did not lose control of the entity, as defined as receiving less than 50% of the emerging entity's voting shares. Accordingly, the Company continued to apply GAAP in the ongoing preparation of its financial statements post emergence.

**Segment Information**

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") in deciding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.

The Company operates as one operating segment with a focus on (a) claims administration under its Plan, (b) prosecuting, pursuing, compromising, settling, or otherwise disposing of litigation and other retained causes of action including the Foxconn litigation, (c) defending the Company against any counterclaims, (d) maintaining and managing the NOL and (e) filing SEC required reports and satisfying other regulatory requirements.

**Nu Ride Inc.**

**f/k/a Lordstown Motors Corp.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

The Company's CODM manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a consolidated basis. This enables the CODM to assess the Company's overall level of available resources and determine how best to deploy these resources in line with the Company's long-term company-wide strategic goals. Given the Company does not currently generate revenue, the CODM assesses performance of the Company's single segment and allocation of resources based on consolidated net loss as well as total selling, general, and administrative expenses. The CODM utilizes these metrics in order to assess the Company's cash burn. Total net loss as well as selling, general, and administrative expenses are used to monitor budget versus actual results.

Significant segment expenses are consistent with those presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

**Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Short-term Investments**

Cash includes cash equivalents which are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit and securities accounts that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced significant losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to material credit risk.

The Company's short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury notes and bills and U.S. government and prime asset money market funds. The short-term investments are accounted for as available-for-sale securities. The market risk related to these investments is insignificant given that the short-term investments held are highly liquid investment-grade fixed-income securities. The Company records changes in allowance for expected credit loss in other income (expense). There has been no allowance for expected credit losses recorded during any of the periods presented. See Note 3 for further information.

Restricted cash and restricted short-term investment balances represent the cash reserves as required by the Plan. Restricted short-term investments have been invested in short-term available for sale securities, which consist primarily of U.S. treasury notes and bills and U.S. government and prime asset money market funds. Under the Plan, the Company established an escrow for the payment of certain professional fees incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases ("Professional Fee Escrow"). The Professional Fee Escrow was established based upon estimates and assumptions as of the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy. Therefore, the actual obligations may be more or less than the amount escrowed. To the extent the Professional Fee Escrow is insufficient, the Company will be required to use its available unrestricted cash to settle its obligations. In the event the Professional Fee Escrow exceeds the Company's obligations, funds will be returned to the Company and become unrestricted. The obligations were fully paid in August 2024 and the remainder of the Professional Fee Escrow was released from restriction. The Plan also required the Company to establish a $45 million reserve for allowed and disputed claims of general unsecured creditors (the "Claims Reserve"), including interest (although there can be no assurance the Company will be able to pay such claims in full, with interest). As of June 30, 2025, $21.8 million was included in restricted cash and short-term investments, which represents the initial Claims Reserve of $45 million, less $23.2 million which was released from the Claims Reserve related to the claims reconciliation process.

**Liabilities Subject to Compromise**

In the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, the "Liabilities subject to compromise" line is reflective of expected allowed claim amounts in accordance with ASC 852-10 and are subject to change materially based on the continued consideration of claims that may be modified, allowed, or disallowed. Refer to Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies for further detail.

**Stock-Based Compensation**

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, *Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation* ("ASC Topic 718"), which establishes a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees over the awards vesting period is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. For options, the fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates assumptions regarding the expected volatility, expected option life and risk-free interest rate. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. Further, pursuant to ASU 2016-09 - *Compensation - Stock Compensation* (Topic 718), the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. See Note 6 - Stock Based Compensation.

**f/k/a Lordstown Motors Corp.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**Reorganization Items**

Reorganization items of $0 and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, represent the expenses directly and incrementally resulting from the Chapter 11 Cases and are separately reported as Reorganization items in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. No reorganization items were recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

**Income Taxes**

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, *Income Taxes* (ASC Topic 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the condensed consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

**Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted**

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. This ASU requires that reporting entities disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information about income taxes paid. The authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the effect of this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*. This ASU requires public business entities to provide disclosure of additional information about certain identified costs and expenses on both an interim and annual basis. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40); Clarifying the Effective Date.* This ASU provided clarification regarding the effective dates of annual and interim disclosure requirements presented in ASU 2024-03. Upon consideration of the clarification in ASU 2025-01, the guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

*Recurring Fair Value Measurements*

The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurements* (ASC Topic 820) for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes when inputs should be used in measuring fair value, is comprised of: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and (Level III) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value.

**Nu Ride Inc.**

**f/k/a Lordstown Motors Corp.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held short-term investments which were U.S. treasury bills and notes that are classified as Level I. The valuation inputs for the short-term investments are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the anchor investor purchased warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants"), which will expire on October 23, 2025. In connection with the Foxconn Transactions and the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Foxconn that expired on May 11, 2025 (the "Foxconn Warrants"). No Foxconn Warrants were exercised prior to expiration.

As of December 31, 2024, following the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had 0.113 million Foxconn Warrants with an exercise price of $157.50 and 0.153 million Private Placement Warrants with a strike price of $172.50. The Foxconn Warrants were not outstanding as of June 30, 2025 as all 0.113 million Foxconn Warrants expired on May 11, 2025. The Private Placement Warrants remain outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The fair value of the Foxconn Warrants was $0.3 million at issuance. The Private Placement Warrants and the Foxconn Warrants were classified as a liability with any changes in the fair value recognized immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the fair value of the Company's warrants was deemed to be zero and adjusted accordingly in 2023.

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**NOTE 4 - SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK** 

On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement with Foxconn affiliate Foxconn Ventures Pte. Ltd.. Under the Investment Agreement, Foxconn Ventures agreed to make equity investments in the Company through the purchase of $70 million of Class A common stock, and up to $100 million in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), subject to certain conditions. The Investment Agreement provided for the second closing of Class A common stock (the "Subsequent Common Closing"), at which time, the Company maintains that Foxconn Ventures was required to purchase approximately 10% of the Class A common stock for approximately $47.3 million.

On November 22, 2022, the parties completed the initial closing under the Investment Agreement, pursuant to which Foxconn Ventures purchased approximately $22.7 million of Class A common stock and $30 million of Preferred Stock.

In addition, following the parties' agreement to the EV Program (as defined in the Investment Agreement) budget and the EV Program milestones and satisfaction of those EV Program milestones and other conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, Foxconn Ventures was to purchase in two tranches, a total of 0.7 million additional shares of Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $100 per share for aggregate proceeds of $70 million (the "Subsequent Preferred Funding"). The first tranche was to be in an amount equal to 0.3 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million; the second tranche was to be in an amount equal to 0.4 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $40 million. The parties agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the EV Program budget and EV Program milestones no later than May 7, 2023.

The completion of the Subsequent Preferred Funding would have provided critical liquidity for the Company's operations. Since April 21, 2023, Foxconn has disputed its obligations under the Investment Agreement to consummate the Subsequent Common Closing and to use necessary efforts to agree upon the EV Program budget and EV Program milestones to facilitate the Subsequent Preferred Funding. Foxconn initially asserted that the Company was in breach of the Investment Agreement due to the Company's previously disclosed receipt of the Nasdaq Notice regarding the Bid Price Requirement. As previously disclosed, Foxconn purported to terminate the Investment Agreement if that purported breach was not cured within 30 days.

The Company continues to believe that the breach allegations by Foxconn are without merit, and that Foxconn was obligated to complete the Subsequent Common Closing on or before May 8, 2023. Despite the Company taking action to satisfy the Bid Price Requirement as of June 7, 2023, and discussions between the parties to seek a resolution regarding the Investment Agreement, Foxconn did not proceed with the Subsequent Common Closing or any Subsequent Preferred Funding. As a result of Foxconn's actions, the Company was deprived of critical funding necessary for its operations.

On June 27, 2023, the Company filed its Chapter 11 Cases and on that same date the Company commenced the Foxconn Litigation in the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief for fraudulent and tortious conduct as well as breaches of the Investment Agreement and other agreements, the parties' joint venture agreement, the Foxconn APA, and the CMA that the Company believes were committed by Foxconn. As set forth in the complaint relating to the adversary proceeding, Foxconn's actions have caused substantial harm to the Company's operations and prospects and significant damages. See Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information. The Foxconn Litigation is Adversary Case No. 23-50414. The descriptions herein with respect to the Preferred Stock and any rights thereunder do not account for the potential effects of the Chapter 11 Cases or the Foxconn Litigation on the Preferred Stock or any rights thereunder. The Company reserves all claims, defenses, and rights with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases, the Foxconn Litigation, the Preferred Stock, and any treatment of Preferred Stock or other interests held by Foxconn or any other party and the descriptions below do not account for the impact of any relief should it be granted.

**Nu Ride Inc.**

**f/k/a Lordstown Motors Corp.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

The Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights, rights on the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company and redemption rights, ranks: (a) on a parity basis with each other class or series of any equity interests ("Capital Stock") of the Company now or hereafter existing, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity basis with the Preferred Stock as to such matters (such Capital Stock, "Parity Stock"); (b) junior to each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company now or hereafter existing, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to the Preferred Stock as to such matters (such Capital Stock, "Senior Stock"); and (c) senior to the Class A common stock and each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company now or hereafter existing, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity basis with, or senior to, the Preferred Stock as to such matters (such Capital Stock, "Junior Stock"). While Foxconn's beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock meets the 25% Beneficial Ownership Requirement (as defined in the Investment Agreement), Parity Stock and Senior Stock can only be issued with Foxconn's consent.

The Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Certificate of Designation") provides that, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled, out of assets legally available therefor, before any distribution or payment to the holders of any Junior Stock, and subject to the rights of the holders of any Senior Stock or Parity Stock and the rights of the Company's existing and future creditors, to receive in full a liquidating distribution in cash and in the amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (1) the sum of $100 per share plus the accrued unpaid dividends with respect to such share, and (2) the amount the holder would have received had it converted such share into Class A common stock immediately prior to the date of such event.

All holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of Class A common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company as a single class with each share of Preferred Stock entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock into which such share could then be converted; provided, that no holder of shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote to the extent that such holder would have the right to a number of votes in respect of such holder's shares of Class A common stock, Preferred Stock or other capital stock that would exceed the limitations set forth in the definition of Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).

The Certificate of Designation provides that, commencing on November 7, 2023 (the "Conversion Right Date"), and subject to the Ownership Limitation, the Preferred Stock became convertible at the option of the holder into a number of shares of Class A common stock obtained by dividing the sum of the liquidation preference (i.e., $100 per share) and all accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such share as of the applicable conversion date by the conversion price as of the applicable conversion date. The conversion price currently is $29.04 per share and it is subject to customary adjustments. At any time following the third anniversary of the date of issuance, the Company can cause the Preferred Stock to be converted if the volume-weighted average price of the Class A common stock exceeds 200% of the Conversion Price for a period of at least twenty trading days in any period of thirty consecutive trading days. Foxconn's ability to convert is limited by the Ownership Limitation.

The terms of the Company's Preferred Stock do not specify an unconditional obligation of the Company to redeem the Preferred Stock on a specific or determinable date, or upon an event certain to occur. The Company notes the existence of the Change of Control Put (defined below). However, the ability to execute this put right is contingent on the occurrence of the change of control event, which is not a known or determinable event at time of issuance. Therefore, the Preferred Stock is not considered to be mandatorily redeemable. The conversion of the Preferred Stock is based on fixed conversion price rather than a fixed conversion amount. The value of the Preferred Stock obligation would not vary based on something other than the fair value of the Company's equity shares or change inversely in relation to the fair value of the Company's equity shares. Based on these factors, Preferred Stock does not require classification as a liability in accordance with the provisions in ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity".

The Preferred Stock is not redeemable at a fixed or determinable date or at the option of the holder. However, the Preferred Stock does include the Change of Control Put, which could allow the holder to redeem the Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of an event. As the Company cannot assert control over any potential event which would qualify as a change of control, the event is not considered to be solely within the control of the issuer, and would require classification in temporary equity (as per ASC 480-10-S99-3A(4)). Accordingly, the Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity and is separated from permanent equity on the Company's balance sheets.

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

The Company believes that the transaction price associated with the sale of the Preferred Stock to Foxconn was representative of fair value and serves as the basis for initial measurement. The Preferred Stock issued by the Company accrues dividends at the rate of 8% per annum whether or not declared and/or paid by the Company (cumulative dividends). In addition, the dividends will compound on a quarterly basis (upon each Preferred Dividend Payment Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designation)) to the extent they are not paid by the Company. The Company records the dividends (effective PIK dividends) as they are earned, based on the carrying value of the Preferred Stock at the date they are earned. In addition, the holders of the Preferred Stock participate with any dividends payable in respect of any Junior Stock or Parity Stock. The Company accrued $0.7 million and $1.4 million in dividends during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively and $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively in dividends during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and had accrued $6.9 million and $5.5 million in aggregate dividends as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, with a corresponding adjustment to additional-paid-in-capital common stock in the absence of retained earnings.

Since emergence from bankruptcy, and as of the date of this report, the Preferred Stock remains outstanding and unimpaired. Upon a change of control (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), Foxconn can cause the Company to purchase any or all of its Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to the greater of its $30.0 million liquidation preference, plus any unpaid accrued dividends, and the amount of cash and other property that it would have received had it converted its Preferred Stock prior to the change of control transaction (the "Change of Control Put"). The liquidation preference, plus accrued dividends is presented as mezzanine equity within the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not consider a change of control to be probable, however the Company notes that there is significant uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Foxconn Litigation which may impact the foregoing, and the Company can provide no assurance regarding such determination.

**NOTE 5 - CAPITAL STOCK AND LOSS PER SHARE**

The Company has authorized shares of capital stock totaling 462 million shares, consisting of (i) 450 million shares of Class A common stock and (ii) 12 million shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001.

At the 2023 Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Charter to effect a reverse split of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock at a ratio within a range of between 1:3 and 1:15, with the timing and the exact ratio of the reverse split to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board authorized the Reverse Stock Split at a 1:15 ratio, which became effective as of May 24, 2023 (the "Reverse Split Effective Date").

The Company filed an Amendment to the Charter on May 22, 2023, which provided that, at the Reverse Split Effective Date, every 15 shares of the issued and outstanding Class A common stock would automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock.

ASC Topic 260, *Earnings Per Share*, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive EPS is calculated to include any dilutive effect of our share equivalents.

**NOTE 6 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION**

The vesting and settlement of any unvested equity awards was suspended during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. Upon emergence, the suspended awards were settled if the vesting conditions had been satisfied. All vested options to purchase Class A common stock that remain outstanding as of the date the Company emerged remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Plan and any options not exercised within three months of an officer's termination of employment or a director's termination of board service with the Company will be forfeited.

Prior to emergence, the Company and each of its then named executive officers ("NEOs") were parties to employment agreements that provided for certain payments, including the accelerated vesting of equity awards, to the NEO upon the NEO's termination of employment by the Company without "Cause" or by the NEO's choice with "Good Reason". Accordingly, upon emergence, the Company issued 101,947 shares of Class A common stock to satisfy equity awards that vested during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, and 102,889 shares of Class A common stock related to the accelerated vesting of the NEO awards. The accelerated vesting of the NEO awards resulted in the recognition of $2.6 million of stock compensation expense during the first quarter of 2024. The remaining $0.8 million of stock compensation expense during the first quarter of 2024 related to non-accelerated stock-based compensation for other employees prior to emergence.

In accordance with the Plan, on March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors approved, adopted and ratified an amendment to the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance thereunder to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares.

On May 13, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a modified director compensation plan for the five outside directors that constitute the Board of Directors. The director compensation plan includes a **3** three-year grant under the Company's 2020 Equity Compensation Plan of restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a fair market value of $8.0 thousand per director per quarter ($96.0 thousand per director in the aggregate), based on the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on May 13, 2024. The RSUs granted cover service on the Board through the first quarter of 2027 and vest quarterly through January 30, 2027, subject to acceleration on the occurrence of certain events.

On November 26 and December 4, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the director compensation plan for 2025 which includes cash payments of $140.0 thousand per year ($210.0 thousand for the board of director chair (the "Chair)) and an annual RSU grant with a fair market value of $100.0 thousand ($150.0 thousand for Chair), vesting in substantially equal tranches on the first two anniversaries of the grant date. The grant date is the first trading day in January of each year (i.e., January 2, 2025). The fair value shall be determined based on the fair market value as of the grant date using the closing price on the grant date.

The settlement of shares in respect to vested RSUs will occur as such shares vest, unless a director makes an irrevocable election to defer settlement (i.e., on the earliest of (x) five years after the grant date, (y) a change in control event, or (z) separation from service). Such election must be made in the calendar year prior to RSUs being granted. All Company directors elected this deferral in December 2024 related to RSUs granted to Board of Directors for 2025 service.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, which was included in selling, general, and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2025, there was $0.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to non-vested awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.55 years.

*Voluntary Chapter 11 Proceedings, Liabilities Subject to Compromise and Other Potential Claims*

On June 27, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries commenced the Chapter 11 Cases in the Bankruptcy Court. See Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations for additional information.

Since filing the Chapter 11 petitions, until our emergence from bankruptcy on March 14, 2024, the Company operated as debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Company received the Bankruptcy Court's approval of its customary motions filed on June 27, 2023, which authorized the Company to conduct its business activities in the ordinary course, including among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders: (i) pay employees' wages and related obligations; (ii) pay certain taxes; (iii) pay critical vendors; (iv) continue to honor certain customer obligations; (v) maintain their insurance program; (vi) continue their cash management system; and (vii) establish certain procedures to protect any potential value of the Company's NOLs.

On August 8, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court approved procedures for the Company to conduct a comprehensive marketing and sale process for some, all, or substantially all of their assets in order to maximize the value of those assets. The marketing process culminated in the Company entering into the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement on March 29, 2023, providing for the sale of specified assets of the Company related to the design, production and sale of electric light duty vehicles focused on the commercial fleet market free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests, and assume certain specified liabilities of the Company for a total purchase price of $10.2 million in cash. This transaction closed on October 27, 2023. See Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations - Description of Business.

The Company has been subject to extensive pending and threatened legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and has already incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant legal expenses in defending against these claims. The Company sought and achieved resolution of many of these matters as part of the Chapter 11 Cases and has and may in the future enter into further discussions regarding settlement of these matters and may enter into settlement agreements if it believes it is in the best interest of the Company's stakeholders. The Company records a liability for loss contingencies in the condensed consolidated financial statements when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees and costs of litigation, settlement by the Company or adverse decisions with respect to the matters disclosed may result in a liability that is not insured or that is in excess of insurance coverage and could significantly exceed our current accrual and ability to pay and be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, and diminish or eliminate any assets available for any distribution to creditors and Interest holders.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases resulted in an initial automatic stay of legal proceedings against the Company, as further described below. On July 27, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court modified the automatic stay that was in effect at the time of filing the Chapter 11 Cases to allow the Karma Action (defined below) to proceed against the Company in the District Court (defined below) and that matter was settled, as further described below.

With respect to the stockholder derivative suits filed on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors and certain former DiamondPeak directors prior to the Chapter 11 Cases, the derivative claims asserted in those suits became the property of the Company pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's order confirming the Plan. The Company appointed an independent committee of directors to evaluate such claims with the assistance and advice of special litigation counsel, to make a recommendation as to the disposition of such claims, including, among other things, whether to pursue or release some or all of those claims against some or all of those officers and directors. Ultimately, such claims were retained by the Company and not released under the Plan.

<sup>1</sup> NTD: Legal/Management to provide update.

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements** 

With respect to the Ohio Securities Class Action opt-out claims (discussed below), the Post-Petition Securities Action and any other similar claims for damages arising from the purchase or sale of the Class A common stock, Section 510(b) the Bankruptcy Code treats such claims as subordinated to all claims or Interests that are senior to the Class A common stock and having the same priority as the Class A common stock.

The Bankruptcy Court established October 10, 2023, as the general bar date for all creditors (except governmental entities) to file their proofs of claim or interest, and December 26, 2023, as the bar date for all governmental entities, which was extended until January 5, 2024, in the case of the SEC or that may arise due to our obligations under the Highway Safety Act of 1970 (the "Safety Act") administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") described under "NHTSA Matters" below. The deadline to assert rejection damage claims and administrative expense claims has passed. The ability of creditors to amend previously filed proofs of claim, both in terms of amount and nature of claim, will be governed in accordance with applicable law. Furthermore, proofs of claim have been filed asserting unliquidated damages or claims in respect of certain indemnifications or otherwise that we may not be able to estimate, or may be materially more than we estimate. The amount of such liability may diminish the assets available to satisfy general unsecured claims. There is substantial risk of litigation by and against the Company or its indemnified directors and officers with respect to such claims.

In addition, the deadline for parties to file proofs of claim arising from the Company's rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease, and proofs of claim for administrative expense claims, was April 15, 2024.

Several rejection damages and administrative expense claims were filed, all of which have been settled or withdrawn.

"Liabilities subject to compromise" are recorded at the expected or estimated amount of the total allowed claim, however, the ultimate settlement of these liabilities remains subject to analysis and negotiation, approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the other factors discussed above, and any unliquidated claims may be settled or resolved for materially different amounts. These amounts are also subject to adjustments if we make changes to our assumptions or estimates related to unliquidated claims as additional information becomes available to us. Such adjustments may be material, and the Company will continue to evaluate the amount and classification of its pre-petition liabilities. Any additional liabilities that are subject to compromise will be recognized accordingly, and the aggregate amount of "Liabilities subject to compromise" may change materially.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company recorded $60.7 million in restricted cash as required by the Plan of Reorganization for bankruptcy and administrative claim settlements and pre-emergence bankruptcy professional fees. Post emergence the Company settled claims and pre-emergence bankruptcy professional fees totaling $38.3 million, resulting in a restricted cash balance of $2.7 million and a restricted short-term investments balance of $19.7 million as of June 30, 2025. In accordance with Plan, the Claims Ombudsman had until the end of the GUC Reserve Adjustment Period (as defined in the Plan) to request an increase in the reserve, if he believed the existing reserve would be insufficient to fund all allowed and disputed unsecured claims. The Claims Ombudsman made no such request, and the GUC Reserve Adjustment Period concluded in September 2024.

Concurrently, the Company recorded a liability totaling $29.9 million upon emergence from bankruptcy within liabilities subject to compromise, which was reflective of the expected allowed claims amounts in accordance with ASC 852-10. After emerging from bankruptcy, the Company settled liabilities subject to compromise since emergence from bankruptcy in the amount totaling $22.4 million, resulting in a liabilities subject to compromise balance of $7.5 million as of June 30, 2025. This balance reflects both undisputed and partially disputed amounts the Company may owe.

The Company's liabilities for legal proceedings and potential related obligations may include amounts for the securities litigation, government claims and indemnification obligations described in more detail below or other claims that may be asserted against the Company and may or may not be offset by insurance. Changes in the Company's operations in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases reduced the Company's need to maintain insurance coverage at previous levels or to carry certain insurance policies. The amount accrued as of June 30, 2025 was estimated based on available information and legal advice, the potential resolution of these matters in light of historical negotiations with the parties, and the potential impact of the outcome of one or more claims on related matters, but does not take into account the impact of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the terms of the Plan, ongoing discussions with the parties thereto and other stakeholders or actual amounts that may be asserted in Claims submitted in the Chapter 11 Cases or for indemnification as these factors cannot yet be determined and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Accordingly, the accrued amount may be adjusted in the future based on new developments and it does not reflect a full range of possible outcomes for these proceedings, or the full amount of any damages alleged, which are significantly higher.

*Insurance Matters* 

The Company was notified by its primary insurer under its post-merger directors and officers insurance policy that the insurer is taking the position that no coverage is available for the Ohio Securities Class Action, various shareholder derivative actions, the consolidated stockholder class action, various demands for inspection of books and records, the SEC investigation, and the investigation by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York described below, and certain indemnification obligations, under an exclusion to the policy called the "retroactive date exclusion." The insurer has identified other potential coverage issues as well. Excess coverage attaches only after the underlying insurance has been exhausted, and generally applies in conformance with the terms of the underlying insurance. As a result of the denial of coverage, no or limited insurance may be available to us to reimburse our expenses or cover any potential losses for these matters, which could be significant. The insurers in our Side A directors and officers ("D&O") insurance program, providing coverage for individual directors and officers in derivative actions and certain other situations, have issued a reservation of rights letter which, while not denying coverage, has cast doubt on the availability of coverage for at least some individuals and/or claims. The Company continues to analyze the insurer's position and intends to pursue any available coverage under this policy and other insurance.

On October 25, 2024, the Company filed a complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaration that the Company is entitled to coverage from the 2020-2022 primary layer D&O liability insurance company for costs to defend certain lawsuits and respond to certain SEC and DOJ investigations. The primary policy had a face limit of $5 million. The Company filed a memorandum of law in support of its motion for summary judgment with the Court on November 4, 2024. In response, the primary layer insurer moved to dismiss and filed a competing lawsuit in New York State court seeking a declaration that there is no coverage for the same lawsuits and SEC and DOJ investigations. No damages are sought against the Company. The motion to dismiss was granted by the Bankruptcy Court. The litigation filed by the primary layer insurance company in New York is moving forward.

Certain former directors and officers have also stated that they intend to pursue coverage for their defense costs related to these lawsuits, and the Bankruptcy Court has ordered that they coordinate with the Company on these efforts in order to maximize the amount of coverage potentially available.

 

*Ohio Securities Class Action*

Six related putative securities class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors and former DiamondPeak directors between March 18, 2021 and May 14, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Rico v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al.; Palumbo v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al.; Zuod v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al.; Brury v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al.; Romano v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al.; and FNY Managed Accounts LLC v. Lordstown Motors Corp., et al.). The matters have been consolidated and the Court appointed George Troicky as lead plaintiff and Labaton Sucharow LLP as lead plaintiff's counsel (the "Ohio Securities Class Action"). On March 10, 2021, lead plaintiff and several additional named plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint, asserting violations of federal securities laws under Section 10(b), Section 14(a), Section 20(a), and Section 20A of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. The complaint generally alleges that the Company and individual defendants made materially false and misleading statements relating to vehicle pre-orders and production timeline. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which is fully briefed as of March 3, 2023. The Company filed a suggestion of bankruptcy on June 28, 2023, and filed an amended suggestion of bankruptcy on July 11, 2023, which notified the court of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and resulting automatic stay. On August 28, 2023, the court denied the pending motion to dismiss, without prejudice, given the notice of the automatic stay, subject to potential re-filing by the Defendants following the lifting of the stay.

The Plan settled the Ohio Securities Class Action, with the lead plaintiff receiving (i) $3 million in cash and (ii) up to an additional $7 million, consisting of (a) 25% of all net litigation proceeds received by the Company on Retained Causes of Action (if any); and (b) the lesser of (x) 16% of any distribution made by the Company on account of Foxconn's preferred stock liquidation preference, and (y) $5 million, on behalf of the Ohio Settlement Class (as defined in the Plan).

*Derivative Litigation*

Four related stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed against certain Company officers and directors, former DiamondPeak directors, and against the Company as a nominal defendant between April 28, 2021 and July 9, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Cohen, et al. v. Burns, et al.; Kelley, et al. v. Burns, et al.; Patterson, et al. v. Burns, et al.; and Sarabia v. Burns, et al.). The derivative actions in the District Court of Delaware have been consolidated. On August 27, 2021, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, asserting violations of Section 10(b), Section 14(a), Section 20(a) and Section 21D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, breach of fiduciary duties, insider selling, and unjust enrichment, all relating to vehicle pre-orders, production timeline, and the merger with DiamondPeak. On October 11, 2021, defendants filed a motion to stay this consolidated derivative action pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action. On March 7, 2023, the court granted in part defendants' motion to stay, staying the action until the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action, but requiring the parties to submit a status report if the motion to dismiss was not resolved by March 3, 2023. The court further determined to dismiss without a motion, on the grounds that the claim was premature, plaintiffs' claim for contribution for violations of Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act without prejudice. The parties filed a joint status report as required because the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action was not resolved as of March 3, 2023. The parties filed additional court-ordered joint status reports on October 28, 2022, January 6, 2023 and April 3, 2023. On April 4, 2023, the Court ordered the parties to submit a letter brief addressing whether the Court should lift the stay. On April 14, 2023, the parties submitted a joint letter requesting that the Court not lift the stay. On April 17, 2023, the court lifted the stay and ordered the parties to meet and confer by May 8, 2023 and submit a proposed case-management plan. On May 9, 2023, the court reinstated the stay and ordered the parties to advise the court of any developments in the consolidated securities class action or material changes to Lordstown's condition. The Company filed a suggestion of bankruptcy on June 27, 2023, which notified the court of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and resulting automatic stay. The court entered an order acknowledging the effect of the automatic stay on June 28, 2023. An independent committee of directors evaluated the derivative claims with the assistance and advice of special litigation counsel to make a recommendation as to the disposition of such claims. Ultimately, such claims were retained by the Company and not released under the Plan. On March 12, 2025, the pending District of Delaware action was dismissed pursuant to a notice of voluntary dismissal.

Another related stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio on June 30, 2021 (Thai v. Burns, et al.), asserting violations of Section 10(b), Section 14(a), Section 20(a) and Section 21D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste, based on similar facts as the consolidated derivative action in the District Court of Delaware. On October 21, 2021, the court in the Northern District of Ohio derivative action entered a stipulated stay of the action and scheduling order relating to defendants' anticipated motion to dismiss and/or subsequent motion to stay that is similarly conditioned on the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action. The Company filed a suggestion of bankruptcy on June 28, 2023, and filed an amended suggestion of bankruptcy on July 19, 2023, which notified the court of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and resulting automatic stay. An independent committee of directors evaluated the derivative claims with the assistance and advice of special litigation counsel to make a recommendation as to the disposition of such claims. Ultimately, such claims were retained by the Company and not released under the Plan. The proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process.

Another related stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery on December 2, 2021 (Cormier v. Burns, et al. (C.A. No. 2021-1049)), asserting breach of fiduciary duties, insider selling, and unjust enrichment, based on similar facts as the federal derivative actions. An additional related stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery on February 18, 2023 (Jackson v. Burns, et al. (C.A. No. 2023-0164)), also asserting breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and insider selling, based on similar facts as the federal derivative actions. On April 19, 2023, the parties in Cormier and Jackson filed a stipulation and proposed order consolidating the two actions, staying the litigation until the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action and appointing Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP and Lifshitz Law PLLC as Co-Lead Counsel. On May 10, 2023, the court granted the parties' proposed stipulation and order to consolidate the actions, and to stay the consolidated action pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities class action. While the action remains stayed, on June 24, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint asserting similar claims, and substituting a new plaintiff (Ed Lomont) for Cormier, who no longer appears to be a named plaintiff in the consolidated action. On June 27, 2023, the Company filed a suggestion of bankruptcy, which notified the court of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and resulting automatic stay. An independent committee of directors evaluated the derivative claims with the assistance and advice of special litigation counsel to make a recommendation as to the disposition of such claims. Ultimately, such claims were retained by the Company and not released under the Plan. The proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process.

*DiamondPeak Delaware Class Action Litigation*

Two putative class action lawsuits were filed against former DiamondPeak directors and DiamondPeak Sponsor LLC on December 8 and 13, 2021 in the Delaware Court of Chancery (*Hebert v. Hamamoto, et al.* (C.A. No. 2021-1066); and *Amin v Hamamoto, et al.* (C.A. No. 2021-1085)) (collectively, the "Delaware Class Action Litigation"). The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of investors in DiamondPeak and assert breach of fiduciary duty claims based on allegations that the defendants made or failed to prevent alleged misrepresentations regarding vehicle pre-orders and production timeline, and that but for those allegedly false and misleading disclosures, the plaintiffs would have exercised a right to redeem their shares prior to the de-SPAC transaction. On February 9, 2023, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order consolidating the two putative class action lawsuits, appointing Hebert and Amin as co-lead plaintiffs, appointing Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP and Pomerantz LLP as co-lead counsel and setting a briefing schedule for the motions to dismiss and motions to stay. The motions to stay were fully briefed as of February 23, 2023 and the court held oral argument on February 28, 2023. On March 7, 2023, the court denied the motion to stay. On March 10, 2023, defendants filed their brief in support of their motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was fully briefed on April 27, 2023, and was scheduled for oral argument on May 10, 2023. On May 6, 2023, defendants withdrew the motion to dismiss without prejudice. On July 22, 2023, co-lead plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint asserting similar claims. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended class action complaint on October 14, 2023. Plaintiffs' answering brief and Defendants' reply brief were due on November 18 and December 9, 2023, respectively. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was scheduled for January 6, 2023. On January 5, 2023, the defendants withdrew their motion to dismiss. On February 2, 2023, the court issued a case scheduling order setting forth pre-trial deadlines and a date for trial in March 2024. On February 3, 2023, defendants filed their answer to plaintiffs' amended class action complaint. On February 7, 2023, plaintiffs served the Company, as a non-party, with a subpoena for certain information, which the Company responded to on February 21, 2023.

On June 9, 2023, the court granted in part and denied in part the plaintiffs' motion to compel regarding the appropriate scope of the Company's response to the subpoena. On July 5, 2023, in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company filed (i) an adversary complaint seeking injunctive relief to extend the automatic stay to the plaintiffs in the Delaware Class Action Litigation, initiating the adversary proceeding captioned *Lordstown Motors Corp. v. Amin*, Adv. Proc. No. 23-50428 (Bankr. D. Del.) and (ii) a motion and brief in support thereof, seeking a preliminary injunction extending the automatic stay to the Delaware Class Action Litigation. On August 3, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Company's preliminary injunction motion. On July 21, 2023, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in the Delaware Class Action Litigation. The parties have advised the Company that they have reached an agreement to resolve this matter, and the former DiamondPeak directors are seeking indemnification from the Company with respect to a portion of the settlement amount. The Company believes it has defenses to such indemnification claims, including that such indemnification claims are subject to subordination pursuant to applicable law, and, if allowed, should receive the treatment set forth in Article III B.8 of the Plan. The proceedings remain subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process.

On September 8, 2024, the Company and the former DiamondPeak directors entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which, among other things, such former directors' claims against the Company were settled.

 

*SEC Claim*

The Company received two subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and information, including relating to the merger between DiamondPeak and Legacy Lordstown and pre-orders of vehicles, and the Company was informed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York that it is investigating these matters. The Company cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, with these and any other regulatory or governmental investigations and inquiries. Ultimately, the SEC filed a claim against the Company for $45.0 million (the "SEC Claim"). The Company settled the SEC Claim by (i) settling the Ohio Securities Class Action and (ii) making an offer of settlement to the SEC, which was approved by the SEC on February 29, 2024. Upon the Company's emergence from bankruptcy, the SEC Claim was deemed withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the offer of settlement and the Plan. See the section in this Note 7 titled "Ohio Securities Class Action" for additional information regarding the Company's continuing contingent obligations related to the Ohio Securities Class Action settlement. No amounts attributable to the Company's settlement of the SEC Claim were paid or are payable to the SEC.

*Indemnification Obligations*

The Company may have potential indemnification obligations with respect to the current and former directors named in the above-referenced actions, which obligations may be significant and may not be covered by the Company's applicable directors and officers insurance. The Company believes it has defenses to certain of these potential indemnification obligations, including that such claims for indemnification are subject to subordination pursuant to applicable law, and, if allowed, should receive the treatment set forth in Article III.B.8 of the Plan.

 

*Foxconn Transactions*

The Company entered into a series of transactions with affiliates of Foxconn, beginning with the Agreement in Principle that was announced on September 30, 2021, pursuant to which the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell our manufacturing facility in Lordstown, Ohio under an asset purchase agreement (the "Foxconn APA") and outsource manufacturing of the Endurance to Foxconn under a contract manufacturing agreement (the "CMA"). On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Foxconn under which Foxconn agreed to make additional equity investments in the Company (the "Investment Agreement"). The Investment Agreement superseded and replaced an earlier joint venture agreement. The Foxconn APA, the CMA and the Investment Agreement together are herein referred to as the "Foxconn Transactions."

On June 27, 2023, the Company commenced the Foxconn Litigation in the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief for breaches of the Investment Agreement, the Foxconn APA and the CMA and fraudulent and tortious actions that the Company believes were committed by Foxconn. See the following section and Note 1 - Description of Business - Foxconn Litigation for additional information. The Investment Agreement and the CMA were rejected pursuant to the Plan upon the Company's emergence from bankruptcy. The Foxconn APA transaction was consummated before the Chapter 11 Cases. Refer to Note 4 - Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for additional details.

 

*Foxconn Litigation*

On June 27, 2023, the Company commenced the Foxconn Litigation in the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief for breaches of the Investment Agreement and other agreements and fraudulent and tortious actions that the Company believes were committed by Foxconn, which have caused substantial harm to our operations and prospects and significant damages.

On September 29, 2023, Foxconn filed a motion to dismiss all counts of the Foxconn Litigation and brief in support of the same (the "Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss"), asserting that all of the Company's claims are subject to binding arbitration provisions and that the Company has failed to state a claim for relief.

On August 1, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered an opinion and order partially denying and partially granting the Foxconn Adversary Motion to Dismiss, which was subsequently amended on October 1, 2024. Nine of the Company's claims survived the motion to dismiss on the grounds that the Company pled viable claims against Foxconn and the claims were not subject to mandatory arbitration. The Court also dismissed two of the Company's claims in favor of arbitration. The order is presently being appealed by Foxconn. The Bankruptcy Court has stayed litigation of the claims that it ruled were not subject to arbitration pending that appeal. The Court also allowed that the two dismissed claims should proceed to arbitration.

In conjunction with the District Court proceedings, the Company and Foxconn engaged in a mediation effort. On January 15, 2025, the Company informed the District Court that the mediation did not result in a resolution.

On January 27, 2025, the Company moved the District Court to allow the appeal to be heard directly by the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. That motion is pending.

The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation.

*The Post-Petition Securities Action*

On July 26, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio by Bandol Lim ("Plaintiff Lim"), individually and on behalf of other stockholders asserting violations of Section 10(b), Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder relating to the Company's disclosure regarding its relationship with Foxconn and the Foxconn Transactions (the "Post-Petition Securities Action"). The lawsuit names Edward Hightower, Adam Kroll, and Daniel Ninivaggi as Defendants ("Defendants") in their capacities as Company officers and/or directors. Defendants dispute the allegations and intend to vigorously defend against the suit. None of the Debtors is named as a Defendant in the Post-Petition Securities Action. Plaintiff Lim and RIDE Investor Group each filed motions for appointment as lead plaintiff in the Post-Petition Securities Action. On September 30, 2024, the Post-Petition Securities Action was dismissed in full on the grounds that none of the allegations were actionable. Separately, each of the members of the RIDE Investor Group filed proofs of claim (the "RIDE Proofs of Claims") against the Company, purportedly on behalf of themselves and the putative class in the Post-Petition Securities Action, in an unliquidated amount. The RIDE Investor Group has not sought authority from the Bankruptcy Court to file its purported class proofs of claim. The Plan constituted an objection to each of the RIDE Proofs of Claim, and on October 25, 2024, the Company filed additional objections to the RIDE Proofs of Claim on various grounds. Each of the RIDE Proofs of Claim was disallowed by Bankruptcy Court order, and the Company bears no liability for such claims.

 

*NHTSA Matters*

The Company's obligations under the Safety Act administered by NHTSA for the vehicles it has manufactured and sold continued in force during the pendency of and following the Chapter 11 Cases. During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company's obligations were treated as a claim of the United States government against the Company. The Plan did not discharge the Company from claims arising after emergence from bankruptcy, nor did it preclude or enjoin the enforcement of any police or regulatory power. The Company has repurchased all of the vehicles that were sold (other than the vehicles sold to LAS Capital or its affiliates, for which it assumed warranty, product liability and recall liabilities). The Company cannot predict the extent of the liability that may arise from the Safety Act obligations for vehicles the Company has already manufactured and sold, or any claims that may be asserted by NHTSA.

**NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

Under the Investment Agreement, Foxconn made additional equity investments in the Company, whereby it became a related party under the Company's Related Party Transaction Policy as a 5% or more beneficial owner of the Company's Class A common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made no payments, and had no amounts payable, to Foxconn.

William Gallagher, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, is a principal of M3 Partners, LP ("M3 Partners"). M3 Partners served as the Equity Committee's financial consultant during the bankruptcy proceedings. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company engaged M3 Partners to provide executive management and support services pursuant to the terms of an engagement agreement (the "Engagement Agreement"). Mr. Gallagher has been, and will remain, employed by M3 Partners and will provide his services pursuant to the Engagement Agreement. Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, M3 Partners' fees are calculated on an hourly basis. The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million in fees payable to M3 Partners under the Engagement Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million in fees payable to M3 Partners.

**NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

 

*This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. Forward-looking statements in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Refer to the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and the "Risk Factors" section under Part I - Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II - Item 1A below for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases, our emergence from bankruptcy and our liquidity, capital resources and financial condition.*

On June 27, 2023, Lordstown Motors Corp. and its subsidiaries commenced voluntary proceedings under chapter 11 (the "Chapter 11 Cases") of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On September 1, 2023, we filed with the Bankruptcy Court a plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement (as amended from time to time, the "Proposed Plan"). On November 1, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Disclosure Statement Order and, thereafter, we solicited votes from their creditors and shareholders for approval of the Proposed Plan. On January 31, 2024, we filed the as-approved Proposed Plan with the Bankruptcy Court. On March 5, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered a confirmation order confirming the Proposed Plan (as confirmed, the "Plan"). Following the entry of the confirmation order and all conditions to effectiveness of the Plan being satisfied, we emerged from bankruptcy on March 14, 2024 under the name "Nu Ride Inc."

The Bankruptcy Court established October 10, 2023, as the general bar date for all creditors (except governmental entities) to file their proofs of claim or interest, and December 26, 2023, as the bar date for all governmental entities, which was extended until January 5, 2024, in the case of the SEC. The deadline to assert rejection damage claims and administrative expense claims has passed.

Since emergence: (i) the Foxconn Litigation and other retained causes of action of the Company were preserved and may be prosecuted; (ii) claims filed in the bankruptcy will continue to be resolved pursuant to the claims resolution process with allowed claims being treated in accordance with the Plan; (iii) distributions to holders of allowed claims and allowed Interests will be made subject to the provisions of the Plan of Reorganization, and (iv) we will continue to conduct business and may enter into transactions, including business combinations, or otherwise, that could permit the Company an opportunity to create value, including through use of the NOLs.

Upon emergence, a new Board of Directors was appointed pursuant to the Plan and all remaining full-time employees, including the Company's pre-emergence executive officers, were terminated. The Board of Directors oversees and directs the administration of the Company's operations, in accordance with the Plan and the Company's charter and by-laws. Some former employees continue to provide services to the Company as consultants. Our Chief Executive Officer, who is the sole executive officer, was elected by the new Board of Directors in accordance with the Plan, as of the date we emerged from bankruptcy.

Our primary operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025 have consisted of actions and related expenditures associated with completing the Chapter 11 Cases and emerging from bankruptcy, resolving substantial litigation, claims reconciliation, financial reporting and regulatory compliance. Our assets consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted short-term investments. Additional potential assets, such as the Foxconn Litigation claims, claims the Company may have against other parties, and NOLs, are not reflected in the financial statements.

In light of our emergence from bankruptcy on March 14, 2024, our results for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflect the accounting assumptions and treatment caused by the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan and may not be representative of our operations and results going forward. See the risks and factors described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II - Item 1A below for further discussion of the risks associated with our emergence from bankruptcy, our liquidity, capital resources and financial condition, and the use of estimates and resulting uncertainty in establishing our presented financial results, among other risks.

***Selling, General and Administrative Expense***

Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") totaled $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted entirely of personnel and professional fees.

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted primarily of $3.9 million in personnel and professional fees, including $3.4 million in accelerated stock compensation expense as well as insurance premium amortization of $2.9 million.

***Legal settlement and litigation benefit, net***

Legal settlement and litigation benefit, net totaling $1.5 million represents adjustments to accrued liabilities subject to compromise from claims as a result of the final settlement of claims for the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $2.6 million of legal settlement and litigation benefit, net as a result of setting claims.

 ****

***Reorganization Items***

Reorganization items represent the expenses directly and incrementally resulting from the Chapter 11 Cases filed on June 27, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, no reorganization items were recorded.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, reorganization items consisted of $3.6 million in legal fees and $1.1 million in consulting fees. The reorganization items included costs incurred by the Company as well as those incurred by the official Unsecured Creditors Committee and official Equity Committee, for which the Company was responsible.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $26.8 million, excluding restricted cash of restricted of approximately $2.7 million, and restricted short-term investments of approximately $19.7 million, an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion at June 30, 2025, and a net loss of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Our liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things: (i) the resolution of significant contingent and other claims, liabilities (see Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies) and (ii) the outcome of our efforts to realize value, if any, from the Company's retained causes of action, including the Foxconn Litigation, and other remaining assets.

We have incurred significant professional fees and other costs in connection with preparation for and prosecution of the Chapter 11 Cases and expect to continue to incur significant professional fees and costs. In addition, we are subject to significant contingent unliquidated liabilities, the full scope of which is uncertain at this time (see Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies). Furthermore, under the Plan, we are conducting a process to reconcile the claims asserted that has resulted in approximately $19.7 million of the Company's short-term investments and $2.7 million of cash being restricted for settling outstanding claims against the Company, including litigation and indemnification claims. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Company is first required to pay all administrative claims in full. Under the Plan, the Company established an escrow for the payment of certain professional fees incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases ("Professional Fee Escrow"), which was fully paid out as of September 30, 2024. The Professional Fee Escrow was established based upon estimates and assumptions as of the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy. The Plan also required the Company to establish a $45 million reserve for allowed and disputed claims of general unsecured creditors (the "Claims Reserve"), including interest (although there can be no assurance the Company will be able to pay such claims in full, with interest). As of June 30, 2025, $21.8 million was included in cash and short-term investments, which represents the initial Claims Reserve of $45 million, less $23.2 million which was released from the Claims Reserve related to the claims reconciliation process including $14.8 million of payments to creditors in connection with the Plan and $8.4 million released from the Claims Reserve as a result of claim settlements that were less than the Claims Reserve. Pursuant to the Plan (which includes certain exceptions), upon emergence (i) the Claims Ombudsman was appointed to oversee the administration of claims asserted against the Company by general unsecured creditors and (ii) a trustee was appointed to oversee the litigation claims held by the trust, which may be funded with certain retained causes of action of the Company, as determined by the Board. Holders of certain unsecured claims are expected to be entitled to receive post-petition interest on their claim amount as of the later of the date the claim was due to be paid, or the petition date. Therefore, if the claims resolution process takes longer than anticipated, the total liability to settle claims will increase to reflect the increased interest expense.

The amount of the Claims Reserve is subject to change and could increase materially if amounts paid in respect of unliquidated claims are greater than anticipated. The Claims Reserve is adjusted downward as payments are made for allowed claims, and may also be adjusted downward as claims are resolved or otherwise as a result of the claims resolution process. There is also risk of additional litigation and claims that may be asserted after the Chapter 11 Cases against the Company or its indemnified directors and officers that may be known or unknown and the Company may not have the resources to adequately defend or dispute such claims due to the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company cannot provide any assurances as to what the Company's total actual liabilities will be based on any such claims. To the extent that the Claims Reserve is insufficient to pay general unsecured creditors in full with interest, such deficiency will be payable from certain other assets of the Company, as set forth in the Plan.

Our assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, restricted short-term investments, the Foxconn Litigation claims, the claims the Company may have against other parties, and NOLs.

See Risk Factors under Part I - Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II - Item 1A below for further discussion of the risks associated with our limited capital resources and loss exposures, among other risks.

 ****

***Net Cash Used in Financing Activities***

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had no financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, financing activities were limited to tax withholding payments related to net-settled restricted stock compensation associated with the Company's 2020 Plan.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

The Company has no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025. The Company does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

 

*Liabilities Subject to Compromise*

Since filing the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company has operated as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. In the accompanying Balance Sheet, the "Liabilities subject to compromise" line is reflective of expected allowed claim amounts in accordance with ASC 852-10 and are subject to change materially based on the proceedings and continued consideration of claims that may be modified, allowed, or disallowed. Refer to Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies for further detail.

**Recent Accounting Standards**

See Note 2 **-** Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and management's assessment, to the extent they have made one, of their potential impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this item.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures** 

 ****

***Management's Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls, activities, and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs and the nature of operating activities. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper override. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In light of the limited nature of our operations, our controls primarily relate to financial reporting and payment of our expenses. As a result of eliminating personnel, including full-time employees, we have enhanced our oversight of accounting and payment processing with increased executive involvement and support from consultants and advisors to facilitate the presentation of information with respect to our operations that is accurate and complete. Our Chief Executive Officer also serves as our Chief Financial Officer.

**PART II: OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the section captured "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025, before making an investment decision. During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously discussed in the Company's SEC filings.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
