**Item 3.** **<u>Incorporation of Documents by Reference</u>**

The following documents previously filed by Robo.ai Inc. (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated by reference herein:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The
Registrant's annual report on [Form 20-F](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932737/000121390025052905/ea0245063-20f_nwtninc.htm) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Commission on June 10, 2025
(File No. 001-41559); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the
description of the Registrant's Class B ordinary shares incorporated by reference in the Registrant's registration statement
on [Form 8-A](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1932737/000121390022071480/ea168519-8a12b_nwtninc.htm) (File No. 001-41559) filed with the Commission on November 14, 2022, including any amendment and report subsequently filed
for the purpose of updating that description.

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), after the date of this registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement will be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in this registration statement or in any other later filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to be a part of this registration statement.

**Item 4.** **<u>Description of Securities</u>**

Not applicable.

**Item 5.** **<u>Interests of Named Experts and Counsel</u>**

Not applicable.

**Item 6.** **<u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>**

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

The Registrant's currently effective fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, adopted by a special resolution of its shareholders on October 23, 2025, provide that to the extent permitted by law, the Registrant shall indemnify each existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary and other officer of the Registrant (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against: (a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of the Registrant's business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director's (including alternate director's), secretary's or officer's duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and (b) without limitation to the foregoing (a), all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning the Registrant or its affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his or her own dishonesty.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

**Item 7.** **<u>Exemption from Registration Claimed</u>**

Not applicable.

**Item 8.** **<u>Exhibits</u>**

See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto.

**Item 9.** **<u>Undertakings</u>**

(a) The undersigned
 Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To
 file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
 to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to
 include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to
 reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration
 statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
 the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration
 statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to
 include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
 disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to that information in the
 registration statement;

*provided*, *however*, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement;

 

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That,
 for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
 amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
 bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To
 remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
 registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned
 Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's
 annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
 annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall
 be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
 time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar
 as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
 of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
 the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
 or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
 is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
 unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
 the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
 by the final adjudication of such issue.

Schedule 3

**Reservations**

Our opinion is subject to the following:

1. **Foreign Law**: Relevant foreign law will not be applied by the Cayman Islands courts if it is not
pleaded and proved, it is not a *bona fide* and lawful choice of law, or it would be contrary to public policy in the Cayman Islands
for that law to be applied.

2. **Preferences**: Every conveyance or transfer of property, or charge thereon, and every payment obligation
and judicial proceeding, made, incurred, taken or suffered by a company at a time when that company was unable to pay its debts within
the meaning of section 93 of the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (**Companies Act**), and made or granted in favour
of a creditor with a view to giving that creditor a preference over the other creditors of the company, would be voidable upon the application
of the company's liquidator pursuant to section 145(1) of the Companies Act, if made, incurred, taken or suffered within the six
months preceding the commencement of a liquidation of the company. Such actions will be deemed to have been made with a view to giving
such creditor a preference if it is a "related party" of the company. A creditor shall be treated as a related party if it
has the ability to control a company or exercise significant influence over a company in making financial and operating decisions.

3. **Undervalues**: Any disposition of property made at an undervalue by or on behalf of a company and
with an intent to defraud its creditors (which means an intention to wilfully defeat an obligation owed to a creditor), shall be voidable
(i) under section 146 of the Companies Act at the instance of the company's official liquidator, and (ii) under the Fraudulent Dispositions
Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, at the instance of a creditor thereby prejudiced.

4. **Good Standing**: Our opinion as to good standing is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate
of Good Standing issued by the Registrar of Companies. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing under section 200A of the Companies
Act on the date of issue of the certificate if all fees and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies
has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act.

5. **Corporate Documents**: The Registry of Companies in the Cayman Islands is not public in the sense
that copies of the Constitutional Documents and information on shareholders is not publicly available and information on directors is
limited. We have therefore obtained scanned copies of the corporate documents specified in Schedule 1 and relied exclusively on such scanned
copies for the verification of such corporate information.

We have relied upon statements and representations made to us in the Director's Certificate provided to us by a director of the Company for the purposes of this opinion. We have made no independent verification of the matters referred to in the Director's Certificate, and we qualify such opinions to the extent that the statements or representations made in the Director's Certificate are not accurate in any respect.

6. **Issue of shares:** The English case of *Houldsworth v City of Glasgow Bank* (1880) 5 App Cas
317 HL, provided that (i) in the event of a misrepresentation by a company on which a shareholder relied in agreeing to subscribe for
shares in such company, the shareholder may be entitled to rescind the share subscription agreement and thereafter claim damages against
such company for any additional loss suffered as a result of the misrepresentation; (ii) such a claim for damages will not arise unless
and until the shareholder has successfully rescinded the share subscription agreement; and (iii) that a shareholder may be barred from
rescinding on the grounds of delay or affirmation and if such company is wound up (whether voluntarily or compulsorily), such shareholder
will lose the right to rescind the share subscription agreement (**The Rule of Houldsworth**). The Rule of Houldsworth was expressly
not followed by the Cayman Islands Grand Court in a first instance decision (currently under appeal). Our assessment is that the Rule
of Houldsworth as framed above is of questionable status in the Cayman Islands and if a company enters winding up (whether voluntarily
or compulsorily) a shareholder would not necessarily lose the right to rescind the share subscription agreement.

**__________________________________________ Offering Note(s)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Represents Class B ordinary shares issuable upon vesting or exercise of awards granted under the Registrant's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Plans. Any Class B ordinary shares covered by an award granted under the 2022 Plan (or portion of an award) that terminates, expires or lapses for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class B ordinary shares that may be issued under the 2022 Plan. The amount to be registered represents restricted shares previously granted under the 2022 Plan as of the date of this registration statement. The corresponding proposed maximum offering price per share, which is estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the registration fee under Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act, is based on US$0.5991 per share, the average of the high and low prices for the Registrant's Class B ordinary share as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 2, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Represents Class B ordinary shares issuable upon vesting or exercise of awards granted under the Registrant's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Plans. Any Class B ordinary shares covered by an award granted under the 2022 Plan (or portion of an award) that terminates, expires or lapses for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class B ordinary shares that may be issued under the 2022 Plan. These Class B ordinary shares are reserved for future award grants under the 2022 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Class B ordinary shares that may be issued pursuant to the awards shall initially be 42,845,000 shares, equal to 15% of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding of the Registrant immediately after the closing of the business combination on November 11, 2022, with an annual increase by 1.5% of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors or any committee authorized by the board. As of the date of this registration statement, the maximum aggregate number of Class B ordinary shares that are available for issuance under the 2022 Plan shall be 55,903,773 shares. To the extent that the actual number of shares that may be offered pursuant to the 2022 Plan exceeds the number of shares registered on this registration statement in the future, the Registrant will file a new registration statement to register the additional shares. The proposed maximum offering price per share, which is estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the registration fee under Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act, is based on US$0.5991 per share, the average of the high and low prices for the Registrant's Class B ordinary share as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 2, 2025.
