------

**PART I**

**Item 1. Business**

**General**

LiveWire Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in this Form 10-K as "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "LiveWire." LiveWire is an industry-leading all-electric motorcycle brand with a focus on pioneering the growing two-wheel electric motorcycle space.

LiveWire was a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of AEA-Bridges Impact Corp ("ABIC"), which was originally incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 29, 2020, as a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") with the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In connection with the transactions (the "Business Combination") pursuant to the business combination agreement, dated as of December 12, 2021 (the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among ABIC, LiveWire EV Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as "LiveWire Group, Inc."), LW EV Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"), Harley-Davidson, Inc. ("H-D"), and LiveWire EV, LLC ("Legacy LiveWire"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of H-D, we entered into a number of agreements with H-D, including the Separation Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2022, by and between H-D and Legacy LiveWire and consummated the separation of the Legacy LiveWire business and other transaction contemplated by the Separation Agreement (the "Separation").

The Company assessed that it has two reportable segments based upon how management reviews the operations of the business: Electric Motorcycles ("Electric Motorcycles") and STACYC ("STACYC"). The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. The Electric Motorcycles segment primarily focuses on the designing and selling of electric motorcycles and also sells electric motorcycle parts, accessories, and apparel. Electric motorcycles are sold at wholesale to a network of independent dealers and retailers, at retail through a Company-owned dealership, and through online sales. The STACYC segment primarily focuses on the designing and selling of electric balance bikes for kids, adult pedal assist electric bikes that were introduced in March 2025, and related parts and accessories. The STACYC segment products are sold at wholesale to independent dealers and independent distributors, as well as direct to consumers online.

**Vision and Growth Strategy**

LiveWire's vision is to lead the next generation of products that combine the experience of electric powertrains with the soulful connection that comes from riding. The underpinning strategy is to accelerate the electric vehicle transformation of the industry while building a leadership position in the market. Directing the shift to electric vehicles is a mission-driven leadership team with the competitive advantages of strategic partnerships with H-D and the KYMCO Group (Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd., KYMCO Capital Fund I Co., Ltd., SunBright Investment Co., Ltd., CycleLoop Co., Ltd. and Kwang Yang Holdings Limited (collectively, the "KYMCO Group")) and having a pipeline of future products for both Electric Motorcycles and STACYC youth segments. From advanced electric motorcycles to youth-focused balance bikes, the Electric Motorcycles and STACYC segments together represent a vision for the future – one that blends performance, accessibility, and global reach. We believe these portfolios signal the next step in shaping the next generation of twist & go riders and electric powersports enthusiasts worldwide.

*LiveWire's Strategic Priorities*

*Lead in Electric and the Transformation of Motorcycling* - The electric vehicle market will include both established manufacturers and new entrants. To establish market share and scale our business, LiveWire plans to continue building global distribution capabilities and make investments in research and development for the commercialization of future generations of LiveWire electric motorcycles, related technologies and other products.

*Capture Global Share of the Electric Motorcycle Market* - LiveWire strategically selects our retail partners based upon their commitment to electric, location and capabilities to support the electric vehicle capture. Our 2026 priority markets include the United States, Canada and leading countries in Europe such as Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Finland, Belgium and Luxembourg.

------

*Lead in Brand Desirability* - LiveWire's ambition is to create the most desirable electric motorcycle brand in the world. As a brand, LiveWire leverages *Soulful by Design* as its consumer-facing position. This differentiates LiveWire from others in the category, showcasing a rider's connection to the world through the LiveWire riding experience. LiveWire's go-to-market model allows for a consumer-defined journey across digital and physical platforms for an omni-channel experience.

*Share the Love of Riding* - STACYC's mission has been to *Share the Love of Riding*, designing and selling electric stability bikes for kids, enabling the development of their skillset and powering their journey to independence on two wheels while preparing them to become the next generation of riders. STACYC's current portfolio includes four sizes of product for kids ages 3 to 12, and an adult pedal-assist electric bike. The Company's priority markets continue to be North America, with expansion in Europe and Australia, selling through powersports dealers, in addition to digital channels, while leveraging licensing deals with traditional powersport Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") to increase reach and scale.

**Strategic Partnerships**

LiveWire benefits from two important strategic partners: H-D and KYMCO Group. These partners have been selected based on their track record in their respective segments, the strength of their global capabilities, and the complementary fit with the LiveWire business. These partnerships give LiveWire a unique ability to deliver high-quality products to the global market in a capital-efficient approach.

H-D is one of the most recognized motorcycle brands in the world, with capabilities to design, develop, manufacture, market and distribute vehicles to major markets around the globe. Beyond the various service agreements tied to the Separation, LiveWire intends to leverage H-D's capabilities in two key areas: technical and other services and contract manufacturing.

The KYMCO Group sells a globally recognized brand of scooters, motorcycles and side-by-side ATVs. The KYMCO Group goes to market with a sales footprint covering over 100 countries, including a growing subset of electric vehicle-specific distribution points. In addition to core sales activities of the KYMCO Group brand, it is a trusted design and manufacturing partner to other premium two-wheel original equipment manufacturers.

LiveWire will draw on H-D's and the KYMCO Group's best-in-class operations, benefiting from knowledge, scale and infrastructure across material sourcing, electric vehicle building and global distribution.

**Strategic Agreements with H-D**

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into a number of agreements with H-D to govern the Separation and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward pursuant to which we and/or H-D have continuing obligations to each other. All transactions with H-D subsequent to the Business Combination are considered related party transactions. Agreements that the Company entered into in connection with the Separation include:

------

*Master Services Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a master services agreement with H-D pursuant to which H-D provided us with certain services that we did not yet have the capability to perform for ourselves, including services related to testing and development, product regulatory support, color materials, finishes, paint and graphics, technical publication, application support and maintenance, service desk support, warehousing support, safety investigation, and marketing vehicle and fleet center, as we may request from time to time. On December 23, 2024, we entered into a new Master Services Agreement (the "Master Services Agreement") with H-D. The Master Services Agreement became effective on January 1, 2025, and terminated the master services agreement, dated September 26, 2022, between LiveWire and H-D. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, H-D will continue to provide LiveWire with certain services that LiveWire determined would be better outsourced at this time, including services that support testing and development, product regulatory support, color materials, finishes, paint and graphics, technical publication, application support and maintenance, service desk support, warehousing support, and other corporate support services. The new Master Services Agreement incorporates a subset of support services previously provided under the now expired Transition Services Agreement including services where LiveWire utilizes H-D's subject matter experts for targeted guidance or allow LiveWire to leverage H-D's systems or equipment for cost savings purposes. The Master Services Agreement contemplates that each of the services shall be provided to LiveWire as detailed under the terms of the Master Services Agreement and the exhibit thereto or as set forth in a separate, mutually agreed upon letter agreement. The Master Services Agreement also provides that any service or project not contemplated by the Master Services Agreement will be set forth in a separate, mutually agreed upon side letter or letter agreement, and any fee for such service or project will be separate than the fee provided for in the Master Services Agreement. The Master Services Agreement has an initial term of seven years and will be renewable upon mutual agreement. The Master Services Agreement or any related letter agreement for additional services may be terminated by either party upon the other party's material, uncured breach. H-D may also terminate the agreement upon LiveWire's change of control or, at the end of a calendar year upon 180 days written notice, in the event that LiveWire failed to engage H-D to manufacture at least forty percent of LiveWire's production during that calendar year. The charges for the services will be a flat monthly fee representing cost plus a markup. A joint steering committee composed of senior executives and/or designees of each party will meet annually to formulate a forecast and plan for LiveWire's anticipated service needs, as well as adjust the monthly fee as appropriate, and will oversee the progress of the services and address any disputes.

*Contract Manufacturing Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement with H-D (the "Contract Manufacturing Agreement") pursuant to which H-D provides contract manufacturing and procurement services to us for the products in our LiveWire platform, as well as future anticipated platforms. H-D is our exclusive manufacturer for these platforms for five years from the date that H-D begins manufacturing the relevant platform (and five years from the Separation for the LiveWire platform). Following this exclusivity period, we may terminate the agreement for one or more products within the relevant platform upon two years' notice, subject to payment of certain termination charges (which are intended to compensate H-D for its capital investment and other sunken costs). The Contract Manufacturing Agreement may also be terminated, in whole or part, by either party upon the other party's material, uncured breach, inability to perform its obligations for more than six months due to a force majeure event, bankruptcy or insolvency, or change of control. On February 14, 2024, the Contract Manufacturing Agreement was amended to extend the period of which H-D is the exclusive manufacturer from five years as described above to six years.

Beginning for calendar year 2027, LiveWire will be subject to a minimum annual volume commitment for each product and pay a deficit fee for failure to meet the minimum under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. The products that H-D manufactures for us are priced on a cost-plus basis, with a mark-up of H-D's cost for manufacturing the relevant product. An operational committee consisting of designated employees of each party will meet quarterly for administrative purposes, including for the review of changes to pricing, minimum volumes and other terms. H-D will procure, on our behalf, equipment and materials that are used in both H-D's and our products, and we will procure all other equipment and materials, as well as tooling, needed to manufacture the products.

*Intellectual Property License Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into an Intellectual Property License Agreement with H-D (the "Intellectual Property License Agreement") pursuant to which each party granted to the other party a license to certain intellectual property on a perpetual, non-exclusive basis for the purpose of making and selling the licensee's products.

------

H-D perpetually licenses to us all H-D intellectual property (other than marks or software) used in our business as of the Separation and certain additional specified intellectual property, as well as all improvements to the foregoing (but excluding (i) any H-D manufacturing intellectual property and (ii) intellectual property relating to motorcycle riding apparel and related general merchandise). We perpetually license to H-D all intellectual property (other than marks or software) that we own as of the Separation and all improvements thereto. If either party makes improvements to the other party's intellectual property, such improvements will be jointly owned by the parties.

The licenses are generally royalty-free. However, if either party desires to exercise its license with respect to improvements introduced by the other party in next-generation vehicles (rather than a "carry over" or a "model refresh"), then the parties will mutually agree in good faith on a reasonable royalty to be paid. In addition, if H-D desires to sell any products that incorporate our intellectual property outside of the Large Cruiser, Touring and Adventure Touring markets during the seven-year period following the Separation, the parties will mutually agree in good faith on a reasonable royalty to be paid on such sales (but not on sales relating to LiveWire-branded H-D motorcycles or related LiveWire parts and accessories).

Each party owns improvements that it creates to its own intellectual property, and the parties jointly own improvements that one party creates to the other party's intellectual property, without a right of accounting.

*Trademark License Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a Trademark License Agreement with H-D (the "Trademark License Agreement") pursuant to which H-D granted to us a royalty-free license to use certain H-D trademarks with respect to our products. The Trademark License Agreement automatically renewed on September 26, 2024 and automatically renews for successive two-year periods unless either party gives notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current term. H-D may terminate the agreement earlier upon our breach under certain circumstances, our bankruptcy or insolvency, or our unpermitted assignment of the agreement.

*Joint Development Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a Joint Development Agreement with H-D (the "Joint Development Agreement") pursuant to which the parties may agree to engage in joint development projects, which would be set forth in one or more mutually agreed project work statements. The Joint Development Agreement remains in effect until we and H-D mutually agree to terminate it and can be terminated earlier by either party upon the other party's material, uncured breach.

Under the Joint Development Agreement, H-D is required to notify us of any development projects for H-D's business that are primarily related to electric vehicles, and we have the right to make a proposal with respect to the joint development of such a project. The parties will discuss in good faith whether or not it is beneficial for the parties to enter into a joint development project with respect to such project. If H-D engages in any development projects that are primarily related to electric vehicles and fails to consult with us so that we can make a proposal with respect such potential project, then the intellectual property developed pursuant to such H-D development project will be owned and licensed in accordance with the default intellectual property terms of the agreement (described below). Unless we and H-D agree otherwise for a particular project, each party bears its own costs and expenses in connection with each project under the Joint Development Agreement.

Unless otherwise mutually agreed for a particular project under the Joint Development Agreement, we own project intellectual property relating exclusively to electric vehicles and H-D owns all other project intellectual property. Each party is granted a perpetual license to use the project intellectual property in connection with that party's products, which, for us, are limited to two-, three-, or four-wheeled electric vehicles, related parts and accessories and electric vehicle systems.

*Tax Matters Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, LiveWire entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with H-D (the "Tax Matters Agreement"). The Tax Matters Agreement sets forth the principles and responsibilities regarding the allocation of taxes, adjustments with respect to taxes, preparation of tax returns, tax audits and certain other tax matters that affect LiveWire and H-D in the event LiveWire or any of its subsidiaries are members of any of H-D's consolidated, combined, unitary and other similar groups for federal, state or local income tax purposes (or LiveWire has certain income, gain, loss and deduction included in the tax returns of such groups). LiveWire and its subsidiaries are currently members of H-D's consolidated, combined, unitary and other similar groups for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

------

With respect to U.S. federal income tax returns for any taxable period in which LiveWire (or any of its subsidiaries) are included in H-D's consolidated group for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of taxes to be paid by us is generally determined, subject to certain adjustments, as if LiveWire and each of its subsidiaries filed its own separate consolidated federal income tax return (LiveWire's "separate federal tax liability"). With respect to state and local income tax returns for any taxable period in which LiveWire or any of its subsidiaries are included in H-D's combined, consolidated or unitary group for state or local income tax purposes, the amount of taxes to be paid by LiveWire is determined, subject to certain adjustments using principles analogous to the principles used to compute LiveWire's separate federal tax liability, as if LiveWire and each of its subsidiaries included in such combined, consolidated or unitary group filed its own combined, consolidated or unitary group state or local income tax return.

LiveWire's inclusion in H-D's consolidated group may result in H-D utilizing certain tax attributes that LiveWire generates, including net operating losses and credits, and LiveWire will receive no compensation from H-D for the use of such attributes, but they may be used to offset any future liabilities that may be owed by LiveWire to H-D under the Tax Matters Agreement.

The Tax Matters Agreement applies as of the closing of the Business Combination, which is the date that H-D's ownership of LiveWire met the applicable minimum threshold required to file either a combined return or a consolidated return and will remain in effect unless the parties agree in writing to terminate the agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of the Tax Matters Agreement, the agreement will continue in effect with respect to any payment or indemnification due for all taxable periods prior to the termination during which the Tax Matters Agreement was in effect.

**Electric Motorcycles Segment** 

The Electric Motorcycles segment focuses on the development and sales of electric motorcycles as well as parts, accessories, and apparel. Electric motorcycles are sold by combining both digital and physical touchpoints to a network of independent dealers, at retail direct to consumers through a Company-owned dealership, and online sales. Prior to November 5, 2024, the Company's products were sold at retail through select international partners primarily in Europe.

Electric Motorcycles segment revenue by product line for the last three fiscal years was as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Electric motorcycles | $4691 | $7644 | $11087 |
| Parts, accessories and apparel | 1373 | 737 | 461 |
| Revenue, net | $6064 | $8381 | $11548 |

---

*Electric Motorcycles* – The Electric Motorcycles segment sells electric powered motorcycles under the LiveWire brand. The electric motorcycles are developed in accordance with a set of proprietary design principles that elevate the brand, deliver differentiated riding experiences and bring heightened emotional responses to electric propulsion. Starting from the LiveWire ONE, the portfolio expanded on our ARROW architecture beginning with the System2 ("S2") Del Mar®, followed by the Mulholland® and Alpinista®. ARROW was developed in-house to take advantage of the benefits of scalable, modular architectures across the electric vehicle, electric vehicle systems and software. ARROW is an integrated vehicle architecture, utilizing the battery pack and motor as the primary vehicle structure to deliver simple, elegant lightweight designs.

The software backbone that supports every LiveWire S2 electric motorcycle is developed ground-up to maximize efficiency and performance, integrating all electric vehicle systems and vehicle functions. The electric motorcycle connects to the cloud through a telematics control unit ("TCU") with built-in cellular connectivity. The connection enables remote monitoring of the vehicle, with status data including charge, range and tamper alerts. The LiveWire app allows riders to interact with the electric motorcycle, delivering maps, audio and ride planning via an integrated user profile. Our S2 mobile app remotely bridges the rider to the bike using built-in cellular connectivity and GPS, providing status, notifications, and alerts. In combination with the cloud system and the TCU, the mobile apps enable an ecosystem of services provided to LiveWire electric motorcycle riders.

Our Firmware Over the Air ("FOTA") allows for continual upgrades and refinements to the electric motorcycle in the field, greatly reducing the need and inconvenience for service or repair appointments for setting or software updates. With FOTA-enabled electronic control units on the vehicle, each subsystem becomes remotely addressable and updatable. In addition to the benefits to the Electric Motorcycles segment as the original equipment manufacturers, FOTA capability enables remote updates to bring the rider new features, functionality and enhancements as they are developed to continually improve the LiveWire electric motorcycle riding and ownership experience.

------

The Electric Motorcycles segment is continuing to focus on strategic expansion of its product offerings, including the planned production in the spring of 2026 of two new 125 cc-equivalent mini-motos, the S4 Honcho<sup>TM</sup> products, which are designed to expand access and affordability for riders globally.

*Industry* – The relevant internal combustion engine ("ICE") and electric vehicle markets for the Electric Motorcycles segment include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Small and large scooters

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Light, medium and heavy weight motorcycles

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Three-wheeled motorcycles and automobiles

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Side-by-side ATVs and four-wheelers

*Competition* – The Electric Motorcycles segment expects competition from two primary segments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leading ICE-focused motorcycle companies: These incumbent motorcycle companies have the ability to scale manufacturing and leverage global distribution capabilities. Several of these companies have begun to enter the electric motorcycle market through the release or public announcement and planned release of electric motorcycles or scooters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Small scale electric mobility companies: These start-ups and smaller companies may have products in the market today, but typically lack the global manufacturing and distribution capabilities of the major ICE players.

While we expect competition to grow in the market as competitors invest in the total addressable electric two-wheel market, we believe the Electric Motorcycles segment is primarily positioned with the combination of technology, manufacturing, and market position to lead the growing electric motorcycle market.

*Parts, accessories, and apparel* – Parts, accessories, and apparel products include replacement parts and mechanical and cosmetic accessories, clothing and accessories.

*Marketing* – The Electric Motorcycles segment's brand, products and the riding experience are marketed to consumers in the United States and select international markets. Marketing occurs primarily through digital and experiential activities as well as through more traditional promotional and advertising activities. The Electric Motorcycles segment is making investments to provide potential customers with many other opportunities to engage with the brand and try Electric Motorcycles segment products. Additionally, the Electric Motorcycles segment's dealers engage in a wide range of local marketing and events.

*Seasonality* – The seasonality of the Electric Motorcycles segment's wholesale motorcycle shipments generally correlates with the timing of retail sales made by dealers. Retail sales generally track closely with regional riding seasons, generally from mid-March through August.

*Electric Motorcycle Manufacturing* – The Electric Motorcycles segment leverages its strategic partners to enable an asset-light approach which allows the business to scale with less investment than would be necessary if it had its own manufacturing operations. The Electric Motorcycles segment purchases S2 electric motorcycles from H-D through the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. For the S2 platform, LiveWire powertrains are assembled in H-D's Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and overall vehicle assembly will continue to be in the York facility.

*Raw Materials and Purchased Components* – The Electric Motorcycles segment continues to establish and reinforce long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with its suppliers. Through these collaborative relationships, the Electric Motorcycles segment gains access to technical and commercial resources for application directly to product design, development and manufacturing initiatives. In addition, through a continued focus on collaboration and strong supplier relationships, the Electric Motorcycles segment believes it is positioned to achieve its strategic objectives and deliver cost and quality improvements over the long-term.

The principal raw materials in Electric Motorcycles segment's products include battery cells, semi-conductor chips, steel and aluminum castings, forgings, steel sheet and bar. Additional raw materials in Electric Motorcycles segment's products include certain motorcycle components including, but not limited to, batteries, tires, seats, electrical components, instruments and wheels. The Electric Motorcycles segment closely monitors the overall viability of its supply base. The Electric Motorcycles segment is proactively working with its suppliers in an effort to minimize disruptions resulting from supply chain challenges.

**STACYC Segment**

The STACYC segment primarily focuses on the designing and selling of electric balance bikes for kids, an adult pedal assist electric bike that was introduced in March 2025, and related parts and accessories. The STACYC segment products are sold at wholesale to independent dealers and independent distributors, as well as, direct to consumers online.

STACYC segment revenue by product line for the last three fiscal years was as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Electric balance bikes and electric bikes | $15808 | $14043 | $22865 |
| Parts, accessories and apparel | 3800 | 4209 | 3610 |
| Revenue, net | $19608 | $18252 | $26475 |

---

*Electric Balance Bikes* – STACYC focuses on developing products and experiences that help kids develop riding skills sooner and empower them to define their own ride. STACYC sells electric balance bikes under the STACYC brand while working with brand partners on co-branded products.

The current product portfolio starts with 12- and 16-inch electric balance bikes built for 3- to 8-year-old riders. With a growing segment of young riders graduating out of the 16-inch product, during 2022, STACYC introduced the 18- and 20-inch electric balance bikes that expanded the range of STACYC riders from 3 to 12 years old.

*Electric Bikes* - STACYC introduced a bicycle equipped with an electric motor to assist with pedaling for adults riders in the United States in March 2025. It includes a rechargeable battery, allowing riders to travel greater distances or tackle challenging terrain with less effort than a traditional bicycle.

*Industry/Competition* – STACYC is a category creator of electric balance bikes, and while there have been some competitors who have entered the market, their products lack STACYC's product maturity and features, and their distribution generally lacks the breadth of the STACYC network. STACYC sponsors and supports off road racing events across the nation and was the first motorized vehicle allowed on USA BMX's 300 tracks in the U.S., allowing kids to practice and race in USA BMX's national series. While we expect competition to grow as the market shifts to younger riders and more players begin to make serious investments, we believe STACYC's established brand with the combination of commitment, capabilities and market position allows STACYC to compete effectively in the growing electric balance bike market, while leveraging the electric bike market.

*Parts, accessories, and apparel* – Parts and accessories products include replacement parts and mechanical and cosmetic accessories, clothing and riding gear.

*Marketing* – STACYC's brand, products and the riding experience are marketed to consumers worldwide. Marketing occurs primarily through digital and experiential activities as well as through more traditional promotional and advertising activities. Additionally, STACYC's dealers, distributors, and OEM partners engage in a wide range of local and global marketing and events.

*Seasonality* – The seasonality of STACYC's electric balance bike and electric bike sales generally correlates with the timing of retail sales made by dealers. Retail sales generally track closely with regional riding and holiday purchasing seasons, generally from mid-March through December.

*Manufacturing* – STACYC purchases electric balance bikes and electric bikes through a contract manufacturing agreement from strategic partners and bike assemblers located in Taiwan and China.

*Purchased Components* – STACYC continues to establish and reinforce long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with its suppliers. Through these collaborative relationships, STACYC gains access to technical and commercial resources for application directly to product design, development and manufacturing initiatives.

**Human Capital Management**

**Our People and Culture**

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's global workforce was comprised of 151 employees, including 132 and 19 employees within the Electric Motorcycles and STACYC segments, respectively. Of all employees, 93% are based in the U.S., and substantially all employees are salaried. A significant portion of our workforce is comprised of engineering and technology teams that are poised to design and develop future products and services. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have never experienced any work stoppages and we believe that our employee relations are good.

Our employees are a significant asset, and we aim to create an environment that is collaborative and challenging in which our employees can grow and advance their careers, with the overall goal of developing, expanding and retaining our workforce to support our current and future business goals. We value simplicity, passion and teamwork, and strive to build and maintain a positive environment where our employees can thrive and one that inspires exceptional contributions and professional and personal development to achieve our goal of pioneering the next era of electric vehicle technology.

Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating our existing and new employees. We aim to achieve this through both financial plans as well as non-financial policies such as flexible vacation and time off, flexible work schedules, and access to fitness and wellness programs. The principal purposes of our equity and cash incentive plans are to attract, retain and reward personnel through the granting of stock-based and cash-based compensation awards to eligible employees to increase stockholder value and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve our objectives. All of our associates participate in our cash-based incentive plans, which provides eligible associates with cash bonus opportunities based upon the Company's achievement of financial and other key performance metrics. Under the LiveWire Group, Inc. 2022 Incentive Award Plan (the "Incentive Award Plan"), we grant equity compensation awards, such as restricted stock units and performance awards, which vest over a period of time, to eligible associates to attract and retain key personnel, strengthen their commitment to the welfare of the Company, and align their interests with those of our stockholders. Additionally, our comprehensive health and welfare benefits program provides our employees with a variety of medical and dental plans, plus voluntary benefits like vision or critical illness protection.

**Regulatory Considerations**

***Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations***

*Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations in the United States*

Certain of our operations, properties and products are subject to stringent and comprehensive international, federal, state and local laws and regulations governing matters including environmental protection, occupational health and safety, and the release or discharge of materials into the environment (including air emissions and wastewater discharges). Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial obligations, and the issuance of orders enjoining some or all of our operations in affected areas.

We are also subject to permitting, registration, and other government approval requirements under environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Those requirements obligate us to obtain permits, registrations, and other government approvals from one or more governmental agencies to conduct our operations and sell our products. The requirements vary depending on the location where our regulated activities are conducted.

The following summarizes certain, but not all, existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable to our operations and products.

*National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") Safety and Self-Certification Obligations* – As a manufacturer of electric vehicles, our electric vehicles are subject to, and must comply with, numerous regulatory requirements established by NHTSA, including all applicable United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards ("Safety Standards" or "US FMVSS"). As set forth by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, we must certify that our electric vehicles meet all applicable Safety Standards. Electric Motorcycles' current products are, and future products will be expected to be, at the time of production, fully compliant with all such Safety Standards without the need for any exemptions.

------

We are also required to comply with or demonstrate exemptions from other requirements of federal laws administered by NHTSA, including the consumer information labeling and owner's manual requirements and various reporting requirements, such as "early warning" reports regarding warranty claims and field incidents, death and injury reports, foreign recall reports and safety defects reports. In addition, our products are also subject to certain laws and regulations that have been enacted or proposed, e.g., "Right to Repair" laws, that could require us to provide third-party access to our network and/or vehicle systems.

*Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") Certificates of Conformity and Regulations* – The Clean Air Act requires that we obtain an EPA-issued Certificate of Conformity with respect to emissions from our electric vehicles and include labeling providing consumer information such as maximum range on a single charge. The Certificate of Conformity is required each model year for electric vehicles sold in states covered by the Clean Air Act's standards and is also required each model year for vehicles sold in states that have sought and received a waiver from the EPA to utilize California's mobile source standards.

*Battery Safety and Testing* – Our battery packs are tested in accordance with industry safety standards, including selected tests specified in the SAE J2464 and J2929 standards as well as tests defined by other standards and regulatory bodies and LiveWire's own internal safety and quality tests. These tests evaluate battery function and performance as well as resilience to conditions including immersion, humidity, fire and other potential hazards.

*Hazardous Substances* – We are subject to regulations governing the proper handling, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous substances, including those contained in our battery packs. Transportation of our battery packs (and of equipment containing them) is governed by regulations that address risks posed during different modes of transport (e.g.¸ air, rail, ground, ocean). Governing transportation regulations in the U.S., issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ("PHMSA"), are based on the United Nations ("UN") Recommendations and Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods as well as related UN Manual Tests and Criteria. We have completed the applicable UN Manual tests for our production battery packs, and the test results demonstrate our compliance with the PHMSA regulations. For example, our battery packs have received UN38.3 compliance for shipping of the units.

We currently use transition metal oxide cells in our high-voltage battery packs. Our battery packs include certain packaging materials that contain trace amounts of hazardous chemicals whose use, storage and disposal is regulated under federal law. As a result, our battery packs are subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations that govern regarding the handling and disposal of waste, including, in some instances, the remanufacture, recycling and disposal of hazardous waste.

The laws governing hazardous substances and hazardous waste also may impose strict, joint and several liability for the investigation and remediation of areas where hazardous substances may have been released or disposed. In the course of ordinary operations, we, directly and through third parties and contractors, may handle hazardous substances within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar federal and state statutes and, as a result, may be jointly and severally liable for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which any such hazardous substances have been released into the environment.

*Workplace Safety* – Our operations are also subject to federal, state, and local workplace safety laws and regulations, including the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Act, and equivalent laws and regulations, which require compliance with various workplace safety requirements, including requirements related to environmental safety. These laws and regulations can give rise to liability for oversight costs, compliance costs, bodily injury (including workers' compensation), fines, and penalties. Additionally, non-compliance could result in delay or suspension of production or cessation of operations.

*Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations in the European Union*

*Europe Type Approval* – We export electric vehicles to certain countries in Europe. Unlike the United States, once we started operating in this market, we had to obtain pre-approval from regulators to import and sell our electric vehicles into the EU and countries that recognize EU certification or have regulatory regimes aligned with the EU (collectively referred to as "Europe"). The process for certification in Europe is known as "Type Approval" and requires LiveWire to demonstrate to a regulatory agency in the EU, referred to as the Competent Authority, that our electric vehicles meet all EU safety and emission standards. The vehicles being exported to Europe have received these approvals and comply with all EU safety and emission standards, with new standards (known as Euro 5+) coming into full effect for motorcycles from January 2025.

Type Approval is accomplished through witness testing of vehicles as well as inspection of a representative vehicle intended for production and sale. Once the vehicle type is approved, all vehicles manufactured based on the approved type of vehicle may be produced or imported and sold in Europe.

------

Any changes to an approved vehicle type must go through updated Type Approval by the Competent Authority.

*EU Emissions Regulations* – We believe Europe's regulatory environment is generally conducive to the development, production and sale of electric vehicles. Through emission legislation, tax incentives and direct subsidies, EU and non-EU countries in Europe are taking a progressive stance in reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector which may lead to increasing demand for electric vehicles.

Hazardous Substances. We are subject to regulations governing the proper handling, and disposal of products containing hazardous substances in the EU, including the EU Waste Framework Directive, in relation to which the European Commission has begun a consultation process to revise. In relation to our batteries, disposal will be governed by specific provisions of the Batteries Directive (in addition to existing Member State-specific waste disposal laws), which imposes, among other obligations, certain requirements in relation to the disposal of batteries, such as that producers of batteries and producers of other products that incorporate a battery are responsible for the waste management of batteries that they place on the market, in particular the financing of collection and recycling schemes.

*Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations in Canada*

In Canada, vehicles must meet the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA) requirements. Canadian regulations in many ways follow those of the U.S. FMVSS and the EU regulatory requirements for compliance and our vehicles will meet the applicable Canadian requirements. Moreover, Canada Interference-Causing Equipment Standards (ICES) are applicable and our vehicles are properly marked for meeting compliance requirements to ICES-002 (identified on our Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label).

*Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations in the United Kingdom*

Europe Type Approval. Type Approval is accomplished through witness testing of vehicles as well as inspection of a representative vehicle intended for production and sale. Once the vehicle type is approved, all vehicles manufactured based on the approved type of vehicle may be produced or imported and sold in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom allows for the EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) to be used as means of showing compliance without the need for additional witness testing activities. LiveWire submits and obtains the provisional GB type approvals necessary to comply with UK law and regulations.

Any changes to an approved vehicle type, must go through updated Type Approval by the Competent Authority.

***Manufacturer and Dealer Regulation – United States***

State laws regulate the manufacture, distribution, sale, and service (including delivery) of motorcycles and generally require vehicle manufacturers and dealers to be licensed to sell vehicles directly to customers in the state.

Some states, however, do not permit motorcycle manufacturers to be licensed as dealers or to act in the capacity of a dealer. For a manufacturer to sell vehicles directly to residents of these states, we must conduct the sale through our California manufacturer-owned dealer, over the internet or telephonically or through LiveWire retail partners who have obtained dealer licenses within these certain states to sell vehicles directly to residents within these states. California has recently updated certain dealer laws which may, in the future, impact our ability to sell out of our California manufacturer-owned dealer.

In addition, certain states and territories require service facilities to be available for vehicles sold in the state or territory, which may be interpreted to require service facilities to be available for vehicles sold through our California location over the internet or telephonically to residents of the state or territory. Puerto Rico, for example, is one such jurisdiction. Such laws could limit our ability to sell vehicles in states or territories either where we do not maintain service facilities or where we do not have retail partners licensed to act as service dealers who maintain appropriate service facilities within these states.

We believe that, as a matter of interstate commerce, we may sell an electric vehicle to any consumer in any state in the United States from a LiveWire retail partner that is duly licensed as a dealer by a state in the United States, including from our California manufacturer-owned dealer. That customer may contact a licensed LiveWire retail partner through the internet, by telephone or visiting the location directly. However, some states may take an alternative approach or interpretation and attempt to prohibit direct sales and/or also restrict traditional marketing, pre-sale and/or sales activities.

------

***Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Laws and Regulations***

Our business collects, uses, handles, stores, receives, transmits and otherwise processes different types of information about a range of individuals, including our customers, riders of our electric vehicles, website visitors, users of our mobile applications, our employees and job applicants, and employees of companies we do business with (such as our vendors and suppliers). As a result, we are and may become subject to existing and emerging federal, state, local and international laws and regulations related to the privacy, security and protection of such information, such as the Federal Trade Commission Act, the GLBA, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 ("CAN-SPAM Act"), California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA") and other comprehensive state privacy laws.

In the United States, while there is not a single generally applicable federal law governing the processing of personal information, there are federal laws that apply to the processing of certain types of information, or the processing of personal information by certain types of entities, and the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general may bring enforcement actions against companies that engage in processing of personal information in a manner that constitutes an "unfair" or "deceptive" trade practice.

In addition, certain states have enacted or modified laws relating to data privacy and the processing of information about residents in those states. The CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020 and applies to our business, imposes obligations and restrictions on businesses that handle personal information of California residents and provides data privacy rights to California residents, including the right to know, the right to delete and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information as well as additional protections for minors. Other states have also enacted, or are considering the enactment of their own comprehensive data privacy laws. Additionally, laws, regulations, and standards covering marketing and advertising activities conducted by telephone, email, mobile devices, and the Internet may be applicable to our business, such as the TCPA, the CAN-SPAM Act and similar state and federal consumer protection laws. We are also subject to certain laws and regulations that have been enacted or proposed, such as "Right to Repair" laws, that could require us to provide third-party access to our network and/or vehicle systems.

Due to our operations in Europe, including the United Kingdom, we are subject to laws, regulations and standards covering data protection and marketing and advertising, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the United Kingdom data protection regime, consisting primarily of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the UK Data Protection Act (together referred to as the "UK GDPR"). The GDPR and UK GDPR regulate the processing of data relating to an identifiable individual (personal data) and impose stringent data protection requirements on organizations with significant penalties for noncompliance. The European Data Protection Board has also released data guidelines for connected vehicles, and the upcoming ePrivacy Regulation is in its final stages.

Regulators and legislators in jurisdictions around the world continue to propose and enact more stringent data protection and privacy laws. New laws as well as any significant changes to applicable laws, regulations, interpretations of laws or regulations, or market practices regarding privacy and data protection or regarding the manner in which we seek to comply with applicable laws and regulations could require us to make modifications to our products, services, policies, procedures, notices and business practices. Until prevailing compliance practices standardize, the impact of worldwide privacy regulations on our business and, consequently, our revenue, could be negatively impacted.

**Intellectual Property**

Our intellectual property is a core asset of our company, and an important tool to drive value and differentiation in our products and services. We protect, use and defend our intellectual property in support of our business objectives to increase our return on investment, enhance our competitive position, and create stockholder value. Through strategic and business assessments of our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, domains, contractual terms and enforcement mechanisms across various international jurisdictions to establish and protect intellectual property related to our current and future business and operations.

------

As of December 31, 2025, we held 25 utility patents and 27 design patents, and had filed an additional 15 utility patent applications and 12 design patent applications in the U.S. We also held 165 patents and 26 patent applications that are foreign counterparts of some of our U.S. patents and patent applications with foreign patent offices. We do not view any individual patent as being material to our business. Subject to required payments of annuities or maintenance fees, United States design patents have a term of 15 years from the date of issuance, and United States utility patents have a term of 20 years from the priority application date. Accordingly, our U.S. patents that have already been issued will expire between 2031 and 2042.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

LiveWire Group, Inc. is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below. Discussions of our business and operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read together with the risk factors set forth below. Some of these risks and uncertainties, including those described below, may cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to vary, and they may materially or adversely affect our financial performance. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Other risks and uncertainties, which are not currently known to us or which we currently believe are immaterial, may also materially or adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. References to "electric vehicles" throughout this Risk Factors section refer to electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, and electric bikes.

**Summary of Risk Factors**

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects. An investment in LiveWire involves risks, including those discussed below. These risk factors should be considered carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are an early-stage company with a history of losses and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for several years. We have yet to achieve positive operating cash flow and, given our projected funding needs, our ability to generate positive cash flow is uncertain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our research and development efforts may not yield the expected results, or results on expected timelines or at expected costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increases in costs, disruption of supply, or shortage of materials and components necessary for our electric vehicles, could materially and negatively affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may be unable to develop and produce electric vehicles of sufficient quality, on a schedule and at scale, that would appeal to a large customer base.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The electric vehicle sector is growing and our products and services are and will be subject to competition from competitors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business and prospects depend significantly on our ability to build the LiveWire brand and consumers' recognition, acceptance and adoption of the LiveWire brand. We may not succeed in continuing to maintain and strengthen the LiveWire brand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have an established standard of quality and associated consumer expectations through our H-D motorcycle lineage. If we are unable to continue providing quality services and customer service, our business and reputation may be materially and adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our relationship with H-D presents potential opportunities, synergies and risks. Our brand and reputation could be materially and negatively affected through negative publicity regarding H-D and its products and services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• H-D could make decisions for the benefit of its overall business that could negatively impact our overall business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our relationship with H-D may impact our other business relationships or potential business relationships.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leveraging contract manufacturers, including H-D, KYMCO Group and other potential partners, to contract manufacture electric vehicles is subject to risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If retail partners are unwilling to participate in our go-to-market business model or are unable or ineffective in establishing or maintaining relationships with customers for electric vehicles, it may adversely impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we are unable to establish and maintain confidence in our long-term business prospects among customers and analysts and within our industry, or are subject to negative publicity, then our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may suffer materially.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We, our service providers, and our suppliers are subject to numerous regulations. Unfavorable changes to, or failure by us, our service providers or our suppliers to comply with these regulations could materially and negatively affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electric vehicles are inherently new products. We may experience significant delays in the design, production and launch of our electric vehicles, which could materially and negatively affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business may suffer if our products or features contain defects or fail to perform as expected. We may choose to or be compelled to undertake product recalls or take other similar actions, which could adversely affect our brand image, business and operating results.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We depend on suppliers, including critical and single sourced suppliers, to deliver components according to schedules, prices, quality and volumes that are acceptable to us. We may be unable to effectively manage these suppliers. Uncertainties in the global economy may negatively impact suppliers and other business partners, which may interrupt the supply chain and require other changes to operations. These and other factors may adversely impact revenues and operating income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The success of our business depends on the availability of power and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Limitations on that infrastructure may negatively impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may face challenges in expanding our business and operations internationally and our ability to conduct business in international markets may be adversely affected by legal, regulatory, political and economic risks.

**Risks Related to Our Business** 

***We are an early-stage company with a history of losses and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for several years. We have yet to achieve positive operating cash flow and, given our projected funding needs, our ability to generate positive cash flow is uncertain.***

We have incurred net losses since our inception, including net losses of $75,114 thousand, $93,925 thousand and $109,550 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We believe that we will continue to incur operating and net losses in the future until at least the time we begin significant deliveries of our electric vehicles which may occur later than we expect or not at all. We do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future as we invest in our business, build capacity and ramp-up operations, and we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve or be able to maintain profitability in the future. Even if we are able to successfully develop our electric vehicles and attract customers, there can be no assurance that we will be financially successful. For example, as we expand our electric vehicle portfolio, including the introduction of lower-priced electric motorcycles, and further expand internationally, we will need to manage costs effectively to sell those products at our expected margins. Failure to become profitable could materially and adversely affect the value of our Common Stock. If we are ever to achieve profitability, it will be dependent upon the successful development and commercial introduction and acceptance of our electric vehicles, and our services, which may not occur. Our business also may at times require significant amounts of working capital to support the growth of additional electric vehicle platforms and electric vehicle models. An inability to generate positive cash flow for the near term may adversely affect our ability to raise needed capital for our business on reasonable terms, diminish supplier or customer willingness to enter into transactions with us, and have other adverse effects that may decrease our long-term viability. There can be no assurance that we will achieve positive cash flow in the near future or at all.

***Our research and development efforts may not yield the expected results or results on expected timelines or at expected costs.***

Technological innovation is critical to our success, and we have strategically developed most of the key technologies in-house, such as energy dense battery packs and battery management systems ("BMS"), high power, high efficiency inverters and motors, efficient onboard charger and DC-DC converter and best-in-class software and controls. We have been investing heavily in our research and development efforts. In the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, our research and development expenses amounted to $23,894 thousand, $41,742 thousand, and $54,070 thousand, respectively. Our research and development expenses accounted for 93.07%, 156.73%, and 142.20% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The electric vehicle industry can experience rapid technological changes, and we often need to invest significant resources in research and development to lead or maintain technological advances and remain competitive in the market. Therefore, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to be significant. Furthermore, research and development activities are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to achieve technological breakthroughs and successfully commercialize such breakthroughs. As a result, our significant expenditures on research and development may not generate corresponding benefits. If our research and development efforts fail to keep up with the latest technological developments, we may suffer a decline in our competitive position.

Apart from our in-house expertise, we also rely on certain technologies of our suppliers to enhance the performance of our electric vehicles. In particular, we do not manufacture battery cells, which makes us dependent upon suppliers for the relevant technologies. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade our existing models and introduce new models to provide our electric vehicles with the latest technologies, including battery cells, which could involve substantial costs and lower our return on investment for existing models.

Even if we are able to keep pace with changes in technologies and develop new models, our prior models could become obsolete more quickly than expected, potentially reducing our return on investment.

------

***Increases in costs, disruption of supply, or shortage of materials and components necessary for our electric vehicles, could materially and negatively affect our business.***

We and our suppliers may experience increases in the cost of or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of materials. Any such cost increase, supply interruption or shortage could materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. We and our suppliers use various materials in our businesses and products, including, for example, lithium-ion battery cells, semiconductor chips and steel, and the prices for these materials fluctuate. The available supply of these materials may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand. For example, global trade issues and changes in and uncertainties with respect to trade and export regulations, trade policies and sanctions, tariffs, international trade disputes, particularly those relating to exports of certain technologies to China, geopolitical events and related actions that may occur between mainland China and Taiwan, the conflict in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian military conflict, and inflationary pressure, may cause disruptions to and delays in our operations, including shortages and delays in the supply of certain parts, including semiconductors, materials and equipment necessary for the production of our vehicles, and the various internal designs and processes we may adopt in an effort to remedy or mitigate impacts of such disruptions and delays may result in higher costs. In addition, our business also depends on the continued supply of battery cells for our electric vehicles. We are exposed to multiple risks relating to lithium-ion battery cells. These risks include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in the cost, or decrease in the available supply, of materials used in the cells, including as a result of new regulation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disruption in the supply of cells due to quality issues or recalls by battery cell manufacturers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in the value of any foreign currencies in which battery cell and related raw material purchases are or may be denominated against the US dollar.

Our business is dependent on the continued supply of battery cells for the battery packs used in our electric vehicles. The Arrow powertrain will utilize the industry-standard 21700 cylindrical cell form factor that enables rapid implementation of alternate cells from a wide variety of manufacturers with minimal mechanical changes and targeted adjustments to the BMS algorithms. LiveWire's ongoing cell manufacturer relationship development, cell assessment, and cell characterization work positions LiveWire to respond in a nimble manner to potential disruptions. However, there is still a risk of disruption to production if a need arises to change suppliers with insufficient advance notice.

Semiconductor chips and other electronics subcomponents are also a vital input component to the electrical architecture of our electric vehicles, controlling wide aspects of the electric vehicles' operations. Many of the key semiconductor chips and electronics subcomponents used in our electric vehicles come from single-source or limited-source suppliers, and therefore, a disruption with any one manufacturer or supplier in our supply chain could have an adverse effect on our ability to effectively produce and timely deliver our electric vehicles. Due to our reliance on these semiconductor chips and electronics subcomponents, we are subject to the risk of shortages and long lead times in their supply. While LiveWire has entered into supply agreements to acquire some of the critical semiconductor chips and electronics subcomponents, we may have limited flexibility to immediately change suppliers in the event of any disruption in the supply of those chips and electronics subcomponents, which could then disrupt production of our electric vehicles. LiveWire has in the past experienced, and we may in the future experience, semiconductor chip and electronics subcomponents shortages, and the availability and cost of these components would be difficult to predict.

Furthermore, fluctuations or shortages in petroleum and changes in economic conditions may cause us to experience significant increases in freight charges and material costs. Substantial increases in the prices for our materials or prices charged to us, such as those charged by battery cell or semiconductor chip suppliers, would increase our operating costs and could reduce our margins. For example, supply chain issues, resulting from global trade issues and changes in and uncertainties with respect to trade and export regulations, trade policies and sanctions, tariffs, international trade disputes, particularly those relating to exports of certain products and technologies to or from China, geopolitical events and related actions that may occur between mainland China and Taiwan, the conflict in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian military conflict, and inflationary pressure, may result in increases in the cost of input materials, components and processes required to produce our electric vehicles, and we may need to increase the prices of our electric vehicles in response to these cost pressures. Price increases and other measures taken by us to offset higher costs could materially and adversely affect our reputation and brand, result in negative publicity and loss of customers and sales, and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, a growth in popularity of electric vehicles without a significant expansion in battery cell production capacity could result in shortages which would result in increased materials costs to us and would impact our projected manufacturing and delivery timelines, and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult.***

H-D began making initial deliveries of our predecessor electric motorcycle, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire, in September 2019. We then launched the LiveWire One model in July 2021 followed by a special launch edition of the S2 Del Mar® in May 2022 with full production and sales beginning in the third quarter of 2023. In 2024, additional models on the S2 platform were sold. In 2019, H-D acquired STACYC Inc. and began selling electric balance bikes, which are currently sold under the STACYC and H-D brands, as well as through private label arrangements. As new products, there is limited historical basis for making judgments on the demand for our electric vehicles, our ability to develop, produce and deliver electric vehicles, or our profitability in the future. It is difficult to predict our future revenues and appropriately budget for our expenses, and trends may emerge in this quickly evolving industry that may be outside our visibility and may affect our business. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and challenges we face as a pioneer in a new industry, including with respect to our ability to continuously advance our electric vehicle technologies; develop safe, reliable and quality electric vehicles that appeal to customers; deliver and service a large volume of electric vehicles; turn profitable; build a globally recognized and respected brand cost-effectively; expand our electric vehicles lineup; navigate the evolving regulatory environment; improve and maintain our operational efficiency; manage supply chain effectively; adapt to changing market conditions, including technological developments and changes in competitive landscape; and manage our growth effectively.

While our Electric Motorcycles segment currently focuses on the LiveWire One and the S2 platform, we expect our product roadmap to expand beyond the LiveWire One and the S2 platform and introduce new models in other categories, including on-road and off-road vehicles, such as the S4 Honcho<sup>TM</sup>. or using other technologies that we have less experience in as we may adjust our strategies and plans from time to time to remain competitive as a pioneer in a new industry.

If we fail to address any or all of these risks and challenges, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

***We may be unable to develop and produce electric vehicles of sufficient quality, on a schedule and at scale that would appeal to a large customer base.***

Our business depends in large part on our ability to develop, market, produce and sell our electric vehicles. The continued development of and the ability to sell our electric vehicles at scale, including the LiveWire One, the S2 platform, the S4 Honcho<sup>TM</sup>, our electric balance bike, and future electric vehicles, are and will be subject to risks, including with respect to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to secure necessary funding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to develop and launch a light model electric vehicle at scale and at competitive profit margins for our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to negotiate and execute definitive agreements, and maintain arrangements on reasonable terms, with our various suppliers for hardware, software or services necessary to engineer or manufacture parts or components of our electric vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• securing necessary components, services or licenses on acceptable terms and in a timely manner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays by us in delivering final component designs to our suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to accurately produce electric vehicles within specified design tolerances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quality controls, including within our production operations, that prove to be ineffective or inefficient;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• defects in design and/or manufacture that cause our electric vehicles not to perform as expected or that require repair, field actions, product recalls or design changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays, disruptions or increased costs in our third-party service providers' and our third-party suppliers' supply chain, including raw material supplies, tariffs or other trade protection actions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other delays, cost overruns and backlog in manufacturing and research and development of new models;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtaining required regulatory approvals and certifications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with environmental, safety and similar regulations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to attract, recruit, hire, retain and train skilled employees.

Historically, motorcycle customers have expected motorcycle manufacturers to periodically introduce new and improved vehicle models. To meet these expectations, we intend to introduce new electric motorcycle models and enhanced versions of existing models. The electric vehicle market is new and quickly evolving. As a pioneer in a new industry, we inherently have limited experience as a company, designing, testing, manufacturing, marketing and selling our electric motorcycles and therefore cannot assure you that we will be able to meet customer expectations. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

------

***The electric vehicle sector is growing and our products and services are and will be subject to competition from competitors.***

Both the vehicle industry generally, and the electric motorcycle sector in particular, are highly competitive, and our Electric Motorcycle segment will be competing for sales with both leading internal combustion engine-focused companies and smaller electric motorcycle-focused companies. Several major motorcycle companies currently have electric motorcycles available, and other current and prospective motorcycle manufacturers are also developing electric motorcycles. STACYC is a category creator for electric balance bikes. There have been some competitors who have entered the market, but we expect competition to grow as the market shifts to younger riders and more players begin to make serious investments in the category.

Factors affecting competition include product performance and quality, technological innovation, customer experience, brand differentiation, product design, pricing and manufacturing scale and efficiency. Increased competition may lead to lower vehicle unit sales and increased inventory, which may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Competitive pricing, promotional activity, and excess capacity may require us to lower prices or increase incentives, adversely affecting our margins, brand positioning, and results. We also expect competition for electric vehicle customers to intensify due to current and potential future demand constraints. Further, as a result of new entrants in the electric vehicle market, we may experience increased competition for components and other parts of our electric vehicles, including internal competition between our Electric Motorcycle and STACYC segments, which may have limited or single-source supply.

***Our business and prospects depend significantly on our ability to build the LiveWire brand and consumers' recognition, acceptance and adoption of the LiveWire brand. We may not succeed in continuing to maintain and strengthen the LiveWire brand.***

Our business and prospects are heavily dependent on our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen our brand. If we do not continue to establish, maintain and strengthen our brand, we may lose the opportunity to build a critical mass of customers. Promoting and positioning our brand will likely depend significantly on our ability to provide high-quality electric vehicles and engage with our customers as intended. In addition, our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen our brand will depend heavily on the success of our customer development and branding efforts. Such efforts mainly include building a community of customers engaged with our branding initiatives, such as at automotive shows and events. To effectively build our brand with a new customer in a new industry, such efforts may be non-traditional and may not achieve the desired results. To promote our brand, we may be required to change our customer development and branding practices, which could result in substantially increased expenses, including the potential to use traditional media such as television, radio and print and engage celebrity talent or brand ambassadors. If we do not develop and maintain a strong brand, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely impacted.

In addition, if negative incidents occur or are perceived to have occurred, whether or not such incidents are our fault, we could be subject to adverse publicity. In particular, given the popularity of social media, any negative publicity, whether true or not, could quickly proliferate and materially and negatively affect consumer perceptions and confidence in the LiveWire brand. Furthermore, there is the risk of potential adverse publicity related to our manufacturing partners or other partners whether or not such publicity is related to their collaboration with us. Our ability to successfully position our brand could also be adversely affected by perceptions about the quality of ours or our competitors' vehicles.

In addition, from time to time, our electric vehicles may be evaluated and reviewed by third parties. Any negative reviews or reviews that compare us unfavorably to competitors or unfavorably to ICE motorcycle products could adversely affect consumer perception about our electric vehicles or electric vehicles in general.

***We have an established standard of quality and associated consumer expectations through our H-D motorcycle lineage. If we are unable to continue providing quality services and customer service, our business and reputation may be materially and adversely affected.***

Our business and prospects heavily depend on our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the LiveWire standard of quality and associated consumer expectations, including maintaining the established standard of quality and associated consumer expectations through our H-D motorcycle lineage. If we are not able to establish, maintain and strengthen the LiveWire standard of quality and associated consumer expectations with our brand, we may lose the opportunity to build a critical mass of customers. Our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the LiveWire brand will depend heavily on our ability to provide high-quality electric vehicles and engage with our customers as intended, as well as the success of our customer development and marketing efforts. If we do not develop and maintain a strong brand associated with the LiveWire brand, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely impacted.

------

***Our relationship with H-D presents potential opportunities, synergies and risks. Our brand and reputation could be materially and negatively affected through negative publicity regarding H-D and its products and services.***

Our relationship with H-D presents potential opportunities, synergies and risks for us. However, the association of our business and brand to H-D and its business could subject us to reputational and regulatory risks. Any negative developments with respect to H-D may materially and adversely affect our business and brand. Additionally, the anticipated benefits of the synergies with H-D may not be realized or the value of goodwill and other intangible assets could be impacted by one or more continuing unfavorable events or trends, which could result in significant impairment charges. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***H-D could make decisions for the benefit of its overall business that could negatively impact our overall business.***

As a result of the Separation, H-D, through the Legacy ElectricSoul, LLC (the "Legacy LiveWire Equityholder"), is our majority stockholder. To ensure we are making decisions that benefit our business and our stockholders, we have a conflicts committee (the "Conflicts Committee") of the board of directors of LiveWire (the "Board") to review and approve any matter involving a conflict of interest between us and H-D. Outside of our business, H-D may make certain decisions that benefit its overall business, including its relationships with its shareholders, suppliers, and dealers, that could negatively impact our overall business, including our supplier partnerships, pricing, approach to manufacturing or ability to access funding or expand distribution. These decisions by H-D about its business may have a material and adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***Our relationship with H-D may impact our other business relationships or potential business relationships.***

H-D has many longstanding business relationships that we expect to largely be able to leverage to our benefit through our relationship with H-D. Our relationship with H-D may also affect our ability to develop and maintain our own relationships with companies providing services and capabilities to, or for the benefit of, our business, including supply, distribution, marketing and operations. Depending upon the relationship between H-D and these other companies, the other companies may be less willing or unwilling to develop and maintain relationships with us. Additionally, they may favor our competitors or may view us as competitors because of our relationship with H-D. We may also enter into certain agreements with H-D pursuant to which we and/or H-D have continuing obligations to provide services to each other. Our inability to maintain the business relationships necessary to maintain and grow our business may materially and negatively impact our results.

***Leveraging contract manufacturers, including H-D, KYMCO Group and other potential partners, to contract manufacture electric vehicles is subject to risks.***

A key financial benefit to our business is our asset-light operating model in which we rely on contract manufacturers to produce our electric vehicles. We have secured the experience and expertise of H-D and KYMCO Group, as well as other vendors for STACYC products, to serve as our long-term contract manufacturing partners to provide manufacturing, procurement, logistics and distribution services for our platforms and certain other products. If these contract manufacturing agreements terminate or expire, or if H-D or KYMCO Group, or other vendors for STACYC products, fail to perform or meet our expected quality standards, timelines, capacity requirements, costs, manufacturing capabilities or manufacturing footprint, we may need to engage another third-party contract manufacturer or build our own in-house manufacturing capabilities, which could cause us to incur significant cost and expense. Additionally, our contractual exclusivity requirements limit our manufacturing portability and potential recourse against our contract manufacturers for their failure to perform or meet our expected quality standards is limited. We do not currently have alternate manufacturing arrangements in place so it may take time to transition to another contract manufacturer, and there is no guarantee that they would be able to meet our capacity, capability or quality requirements, or otherwise be an effective and acceptable manufacturing solution. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

------

***If retail partners are unwilling to participate in our go-to-market business model or are unable or ineffective in establishing or maintaining relationships with customers for electric vehicles, it may adversely impact our business.***

We employ a go-to-market business model whereby our revenue is generated primarily by selling at wholesale to a network of independent dealers, which currently are largely drawn from H-D's traditional motorcycle dealer network, while we also seek to develop new retail partners. We depend on the capability of these retail partners to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand among retail purchasers for our electric vehicles and related products and services that the retail partners may purchase from us. We provide our retail partners with specific training and programs to assist them in selling our products, but there can be no assurance that these steps will be effective. If our retail partners are not able to establish, maintain and strengthen our brand, we may lose the opportunity to build a critical mass of customers. Our retail partners' ability to develop, maintain and strengthen their relationships with customers for electric vehicles will depend heavily on our ability to provide high-quality electric vehicles and engage with our customers as intended, as well as the success of our customer development and marketing efforts. The electric vehicle industry is intensely competitive, and we may not be successful in building, maintaining and strengthening our relationship with customers. If we do not develop and maintain a strong brand, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely impacted.

Some of these retail partners may also market, sell and support offerings that may be competitive with ours, may devote more resources to the marketing, sales and support of such competitive offerings or may have incentives to promote other offerings to the detriment of our own. Our retail partners could subject us to lawsuits, potential liability, and reputational harm if, for example, any of our retail partners misrepresents the functionality of our electric vehicles to customers or violates laws or our or their corporate policies. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend, in part, on our success in maintaining successful relationships with our retail partners, identifying additional retail partners, including in new markets, and training our retail partners to independently sell and service our electric vehicles. If we are unable to enter into arrangements with or retain a sufficient number of retail partners in each of the regions in which we sell our electric vehicles and keep them motivated to sell our electric vehicles, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

***If we are unable to establish and maintain confidence in our long-term business prospects among customers and analysts and within our industry, or are subject to negative publicity, then our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may suffer materially.***

Customers may be less likely to purchase our electric vehicles if they are not convinced that our business will succeed or that our service, warranty, and support and other operations will continue in the long-term. Similarly, suppliers, dealers, retailers, and other third parties may be less likely to invest time and resources in developing business relationships with us if they are not convinced that our business will succeed. Accordingly, to build and maintain our business, we must maintain confidence among customers, suppliers, analysts, ratings agencies and other parties in our electric vehicles, long-term financial viability and business prospects. Maintaining such confidence may be complicated by certain factors, including those that are largely outside of our control, such as our limited operating history; customer unfamiliarity with our electric vehicles and electric vehicles and electric motorcycles in general; any delays in scaling production, delivery and service operations to meet demand; competition and uncertainty regarding the future of our electric vehicles and electric vehicles and electric motorcycles in general; and our production and sales performance compared with market expectations. If we are unable to establish and maintain confidence with our suppliers, dealers, retailers and other third parties our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely impacted.

------

***We, our service providers, and our suppliers are subject to numerous regulations. Unfavorable changes to, or failure by us, our service providers or our suppliers to comply with these regulations could materially and negatively affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

We and our electric vehicles, and vehicles in general, as well as our third-party service providers partners and our suppliers, are or will be subject to substantial regulation under foreign, federal, state and local laws. We continue to evaluate requirements for licenses, approvals, certificates and governmental authorizations necessary to manufacture, sell, deploy or service our electric vehicles in the jurisdictions in which we plan to operate and, to the extent we have not already, intend to take such actions necessary to comply. We may experience difficulties in obtaining or complying with various licenses, approvals, certifications and other governmental authorizations necessary to manufacture, sell, deploy or service our electric vehicles in any of these jurisdictions. If we, our third-party service providers or our suppliers are unable to obtain or comply with any of the licenses, approvals, certifications or other governmental authorizations necessary to carry out our operations in the jurisdictions in which we or they currently operate, or those jurisdictions in which we or they plan to operate in the future, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. We expect to incur significant costs in complying with these regulations. Regulations related to the electric and alternative energy vehicle industry are evolving and we face risks associated with changes to these regulations, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased support for other alternative fuel systems, which could have an impact on the acceptance of our electric vehicles; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased sensitivity by regulators to the needs of established automobile and motorcycle manufacturers, which could lead them to pass regulations that could reduce the compliance costs of such established manufacturers or mitigate the effects of government efforts to promote alternative fuel vehicles.

To the extent the laws change, our electric vehicles may not comply with or be positioned to take advantage of applicable foreign, federal, state or local laws, including import/export, customs duties, tariffs, and applicable taxes, which may have an adverse effect on our business. Compliance with changing regulations could be burdensome, time consuming and expensive. To the extent compliance with new regulations is cost prohibitive, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

***Electric vehicles are inherently new products. We may experience significant delays in the design, production and launch of our electric vehicles, which could materially and negatively affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

Our future business depends in large part on our ability to execute on our plans to develop, produce, market and sell our electric vehicles. Electric vehicle companies experience delays in the design, production and commercial release of new products. To the extent we delay the launch of future models of electric vehicles, our growth prospects could be adversely affected as we may fail to establish or grow our market share. Furthermore, we rely on contract manufacturers for the manufacturing of electric vehicles. We could experience delays if our contract manufacturers do not meet agreed upon timelines or experience capacity constraints. Additionally, we rely on third-party suppliers for the provision and development of the key components and materials used in our electric vehicles. To the extent our suppliers experience any delays in providing our outsourced manufacturing partners with or developing necessary components, we could experience delays in delivering on our timelines. See "-Increases in costs, disruption of supply, or shortage of materials and components could materially and negatively affect our business."

------

***Our business may suffer if our products or features contain defects or fail to perform as expected. We may choose to or be compelled to undertake product recalls or take other similar actions, which could adversely affect our brand image, business and operating results.***

If our electric vehicles contain design or manufacturing defects that cause them not to perform as expected or that require repair, our ability to develop, market and sell our products and services may be materially and negatively affected, and we may experience delivery delays, product recalls, product liability, breach of warranty and consumer protection claims and significant warranty and other expenses. In particular, our electric vehicles are highly dependent on software, which is inherently complex and may contain latent defects or errors or be subject to external attacks. Although we attempt to remedy any issues we observe in our electric vehicles as effectively and rapidly as possible, such efforts may not be timely, may hamper production or may not completely satisfy our customers. While we perform extensive internal testing on our electric vehicles and features, we currently have a limited frame of reference by which to evaluate their long-term quality, reliability, durability and performance characteristics when operating in the field. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix all defects in our electric vehicles prior to their sale to or installation for customers. Despite safety and quality reviews, the Consumer Product Safety Commission or other applicable regulatory bodies may require, or we may voluntarily institute, the recall, repair or replacement of our electric vehicles if our electric vehicles are found not to be in compliance with applicable standards or regulations.

Any product recall in the future, whether initiated by a regulator, us or a supplier, and whether the product recall involves our or a competitor's product, may result in adverse publicity, damage our brand image, and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Such recalls, whether caused by systems or components engineered or manufactured by us or our suppliers, may involve significant expense, the possibility of lawsuits, and diversion of management's attention and other resources, which could adversely affect our brand image and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***We depend on suppliers, including critical and single source suppliers, to deliver components according to schedules, prices, quality and volumes that are acceptable to us. We may be unable to effectively manage these suppliers. Uncertainties in the global economy may negatively impact suppliers and other business partners, which may interrupt the supply chain and require other changes to operations. These and other factors may adversely impact revenues and operating income.***

Our success will be dependent upon our ability to enter into supplier agreements and maintain our relationships with existing suppliers who are critical to the output and production of our electric vehicles. The supply agreements we may enter into with suppliers in the future may have provisions where such agreements can be terminated in various circumstances, including potentially without cause. If our suppliers become unable to provide, or experience delays in providing, components or if the supply agreements we enter into are terminated, or if unfavorable tariffs or other protectionist measures are implemented, it may be difficult to find replacement components, or replacement components at similar costs. Additionally, our products contain parts that we purchase from single-source or limited-source suppliers, for which no immediate or readily available alternative supplier exists. While we believe that we would be able to establish alternate supply relationships and can obtain or engineer replacement components for our single-source components, we may be unable to do so in the short-term (or at all) at prices or quality levels that are acceptable to us. In addition, as we evaluate opportunities and take steps to insource certain components and parts, supply arrangements with current or future suppliers (with respect to other components and parts offered by such suppliers) may be available on less favorable terms or not at all, especially in light of the increases in materials pricing. Unexpected changes in business conditions, materials pricing, including inflation of raw material costs, labor issues, wars, trade policies, tariffs, natural disasters, health epidemics, trade and shipping disruptions, port congestions and other factors beyond our or our suppliers' control could also affect these suppliers' ability to deliver components to us or to remain solvent and operational. Additionally, if our suppliers do not accurately forecast and effectively allocate production or if they are not willing to allocate sufficient production to us, it may reduce our access to components and require us to search for new suppliers. The unavailability of any component or supplier could result in production delays, product design changes and loss of access to important technology and tools for producing and supporting our products, as well as impact our capacity expansion and our ability to fulfill our obligations under customer contracts. Moreover, significant increases in our production or product design changes by us may in the future require us to procure additional components in a short amount of time. Our suppliers may not be willing or able to sustainably meet our timelines or our cost, quality and volume needs, or to do so may cost us more, which may require us to replace them with other sources.

In addition, if our suppliers experience substantial financial difficulties, cease operations or otherwise face business disruptions, we would be required to take measures to ensure components and materials remain available. Any disruption could affect our ability to deliver electric vehicles and could increase our costs and negatively affect our liquidity and financial performance.

------

Also, if a supplied vehicle component becomes the subject of a product recall, we may be required to find an alternative component, which could increase our costs and cause vehicle production delays. Additionally, we may become subject to costly litigation surrounding the component.

If we do not enter into long-term supply agreements with guaranteed pricing for our parts or components, we may be exposed to fluctuations in prices of components, materials and equipment comprising the products purchased from our contract manufacturers, including H-D. Agreements for the purchase of battery cells contain or are likely to contain pricing provisions that are subject to adjustments based on changes in market prices of key commodities. Substantial increases in the prices for such components, materials and equipment would increase our operating costs and could reduce our margins if we cannot recoup the increased costs. Any attempts to increase the announced or expected prices of our electric vehicles in response to increased costs could be viewed negatively by our potential customers and could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***The success of our business depends on the availability of power and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Limitations on that infrastructure may negatively impact our business.***

Demand for our electric vehicles will depend in part upon the availability of public charging infrastructure. We do not plan to develop or invest in our own network of charging stations, but will instead rely on the use of at-home charging, which makes up the majority of electric vehicle charging today, along with a growing publicly accessible charging infrastructure provided by third parties and the government. We have limited experience in the actual provision of charging solutions to customers, and the facilitation of these services is subject to challenges, which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successful integration with existing third-party charging networks, including obtaining necessary licenses for charging solutions on commercially acceptable terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inadequate capacity or over capacity in certain areas, security risks or risk of damage to vehicles, charging equipment or real or personal property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to sufficient charging infrastructure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential for lack of customer acceptance of our charging solutions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that government support for electric vehicle and alternative fuel solutions and infrastructure may not continue.

While the prevalence of charging stations generally has been increasing, charging station locations are significantly less widespread than gas stations. Some potential customers may choose not to purchase our electric vehicles because of the lack of a more widespread charging infrastructure. To provide our customers with access to sufficient charging infrastructure, we will rely on the availability and successful integration of our electric vehicles with third-party charging networks. Any failure of third-party charging networks to meet customer expectations or needs, including quality of experience, could impact the demand for electric vehicles, including ours. For example, where charging bays exist, the number of electric vehicles could oversaturate the available charging bays, leading to increased wait times and dissatisfaction for customers. Additionally, industry shifts in charging standards and protocols and interoperability issues with third-party networks may require product updates or adapters and could adversely affect customer experience and demand. To the extent we are unable to meet user expectations or experience difficulties in facilitating access to charging solutions, our reputation and business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

***We may face challenges in expanding our business and operations internationally, and our ability to conduct business in international markets may be adversely affected by legal, regulatory, political and economic risks.***

Our business plan includes operations in international markets, including, but not limited to, Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, and Canada, and eventual expansion into other international markets. We will face risks associated with any potential international operations, including possible unfavorable legal, regulatory, political and economic risks, which could materially and negatively affect our business. We anticipate having international operations and subsidiaries that are subject to the legal, political, regulatory and social requirements and economic conditions in these jurisdictions. Furthermore, conducting and launching operations on an international scale requires close coordination of activities across multiple jurisdictions and time zones and consumes significant management resources. We will be subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, impact our ability to sell our electric vehicles and require significant management attention. These risks include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• conforming our electric vehicles to various international regulatory requirements where our electric vehicles are sold and serviced, which requirements may change over time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expenditures related to foreign lawsuits and liability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties establishing relationships with, or disruption in the supply chain from, international suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties attracting customers in new jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in attracting effective distributors, dealers or sales agents, as the case may be;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign government taxes, regulations and permit requirements, including foreign taxes that we may not be able to offset against taxes imposed upon us in the United States, and foreign tax and other laws limiting our ability to repatriate funds to the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, including risks related to any foreign currency swap or other hedging activities we undertake;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• United States and foreign government trade restrictions, tariffs and price or exchange controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign labor laws, regulations and restrictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laws and business practices favoring local companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties protecting or procuring intellectual property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the adoption of the LiveWire or STACYC brands versus competitive foreign brands;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• political instability, natural disasters, war or events of terrorism and health epidemics, such as the conflict in Ukraine or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the strength of international economies.

If we fail to successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

***The battery's range and life will deteriorate with usage and time, which, if material, could negatively influence potential customers' decisions to purchase our electric vehicles.***

All lithium-ion batteries are consumable components that become less effective as they chemically age. As lithium-ion batteries chemically age, the amount of charge they can hold diminishes, which may result in a perceptible decrease in range for an electric vehicle. This can be referred to as the battery's maximum capacity, i.e., the measure of battery capacity relative to when it was new. In addition, a battery's ability to deliver maximum instantaneous performance, or "peak power," may decrease and impact acceleration performance in an electric vehicle. For our S2 products, a normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 30,000 miles when operating under normal conditions. Although common to all electric vehicles, lithium-ion battery aging may negatively influence potential customers' electric vehicle purchase decisions, which could lead to adverse impacts on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

***Unexpected termination of leases or failure to renew the lease of our existing premises or to renew such leases at acceptable terms could materially and adversely affect our business.***

We lease the premises for our research and development facility, retail stores and offices. We cannot assure you that we would be able to renew the relevant lease agreements without substantial additional cost or increase in the rental cost payable by us. If a lease agreement is renewed at a rent substantially higher than the current rate, or currently existing favorable terms granted by the lessor are not extended, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, if our sublease at our Company-owned dealership location is either terminated or not renewed by our landlord, or otherwise prohibited for legal or regulatory reasons, and we do not have an existing alternate dealership location, that could jeopardize our dealer license, which would impact our ability to make direct sales to consumers and could materially and adversely affect our business.

***We are subject to scrutiny associated with environmental, social and governance ("ESG") matters.***

Certain consumers, investors, employees and other stockholders, as well as by governmental and non-governmental organizations, focus on climate change, human capital, and other ESG matters generally and with regard to our industry specifically.

Initiatives to address ESG matters or stakeholder expectations may not have the desired effect. Any failure (or perceived failure) to meet commitments that we have set in relation to ESG matters or other stakeholder expectations on such matters could negatively impact our brand, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. These impacts could be difficult and costly to overcome, even if such concerns were based on inaccurate or misleading information, and our reputation and brand image could be damaged, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

------

In addition, pursuing our ESG initiatives may result in increased costs in our supply chain, fulfillment, and/or corporate business operations, and could deviate from our initial estimates and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. As with other companies, our approach to such matters has evolved over time, and we expect it will continue to evolve, but we cannot guarantee that our approach will ultimately align with any particular stakeholder's preferences or expectations. Stakeholder expectations vary and, at times, can conflict. Both advocates and opponents to certain ESG matters are increasingly resorting to a range of activism forms, including media campaigns and litigation, to advance their perspectives. To the extent we are subject to such activism, it may require us to incur costs or otherwise adversely impact our business.

While we may create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters from time to time, many of the statements in those voluntary disclosures are based on methodologies and data that continue to evolve and that are subject to varying stakeholder interpretations and preferences. Evolving data and research could undermine or refute our current claims and beliefs that we have made in reliance on current research, which could also result in costs, a decrease in revenue, and negative market perception that could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, emerging regulation requiring additional ESG public disclosure by certain companies in a number of jurisdictions and/or additional ESG obligations may lead to heightened scrutiny of our ESG performance, to the extent we are required to publish additional information in relation to our ESG performance or to meet such additional ESG obligations. For example, various policymakers have adopted or are considering adopting requirements for certain companies to undertake certain climate- or other-ESG related disclosures or actions. Policymakers' approaches are not uniform, which may increase the cost or complexity of compliance, as well as increase the general risk of litigation or enforcement on such matters.

Additionally, there are increasing expectations in various jurisdictions that companies monitor the environmental and social performance of their suppliers and otherwise consider a wide range of potential environmental and social matters for their products and value chain (such as in relation to forced labor considerations). Certain of our suppliers operate and source materials in China and Taiwan, and their presence in our supply chain could present unique risks for us due to risks associated with the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), as well as the strain in U.S.-China relations, and China's unique regulatory landscape. Prohibitions on forced labor or related human rights or environmental diligence requirements have also been adopted or proposed in other jurisdictions, such as the European Union, and represents a topic that will likely be subject to further regulation in the markets we operate within. Compliance with such requirements can be costly and complex and may impact how we are able or willing to engage with suppliers.

Regulation in this area has also evolved considerably over recent years and is likely to continue to do so, which may lead to additional costs and challenges associated with ensuring compliance with changing standards. Furthermore, industry and market practices may further develop to become even more robust than what is required under any new laws and regulations, and we may have to expend significant efforts and resources to keep up with market trends and stay competitive among our peers, which could result in higher associated compliance costs and penalties for failure to comply with such laws and regulations. Failure to successfully address stakeholder expectations, including any regulatory obligations, may result in increased costs, reputational harm with various stakeholders (including through ratings), litigation, or other adverse business impacts.. Additionally, many of our customers, retailers, suppliers, or other stakeholders are subject to similar expectations, which may augment or create additional risks.

***Our electric vehicles use lithium-ion battery cells. When not properly managed, lithium-ion battery cells have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flame on rare occasions. If our electric vehicles exhibit those conditions, it could have a negative effect on our reputation and business.***

The battery packs within our electric vehicles make use of lithium-ion cells. If not properly managed or subject to environmental stresses, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials as well as other lithium-ion cells. While the battery pack is designed to contain any single cell's release of energy without spreading to neighboring cells, a field or testing failure of battery packs in our electric vehicles could occur, which could result in bodily injury or death and could subject us to lawsuits, product recalls or redesign efforts, all of which would be time consuming and expensive and could materially and negatively affect our brand image and results of operation. Also, negative public perceptions regarding the suitability of lithium-ion cells for automotive applications, the social and environmental impacts of mineral mining or procurement associated with the constituents of lithium-ion cells, or any future incident involving lithium-ion cells, such as a vehicle or other fire, could materially and adversely affect our reputation and business.

------

***Our industry and its technology are rapidly evolving and may be subject to unforeseen changes. Developments in alternative technologies or improvements in current and future enabling and competitive technologies may adversely affect the demand for our electric vehicles.***

We may be unable to keep up with changes in electric vehicle technology or alternatives to electricity as a fuel source, and as a result, our competitiveness may suffer. Developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, hydrogen, ethanol, fuel cells or compressed natural gas, or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine or the cost of gasoline, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we do not currently anticipate. Existing and other battery cell technologies, fuels or sources of energy may emerge as customers' preferred alternative to our electric vehicles. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced alternative fuel and electric vehicles, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our electric vehicles, decreased revenue and a loss of market share to competitors. Our research and development efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in alternative fuel and electric vehicle technology. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our electric vehicle with the latest technology. However, our electric vehicles may not compete effectively with alternative systems if we are not able to source and integrate the latest technology into our electric vehicles. Additionally, the introduction and integration of new technologies into our electric vehicles may increase our costs and capital expenditures required for the production and manufacture of our electric vehicles. In addition, upgrades and adaptations to our vehicles will also require, from time to time, planned and temporary manufacturing shutdowns. Plant shutdowns, whether associates with product changes or other factors, can have a negative impact on our revenues. If we are unable to cost efficiently implement new technologies, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

***Our future growth and success are dependent upon consumers' adoption of, and their demand for, two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles in a sector that is generally competitive, cyclical and volatile.***

Our future growth is dependent on the demand for, and upon consumers' willingness to adopt two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles and, even if electric vehicles become more mainstream, consumers choosing us over other electric vehicles manufacturers. Demand for electric vehicles may be affected by factors directly impacting electric vehicle prices or the cost of purchasing and operating electric vehicles such as sales and financing incentives, prices of raw materials and parts and components, cost of fuel and governmental regulations, including tariffs, import regulation and other taxes. Volatility in demand may lead to lower vehicle unit sales, which may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, the demand for our electric vehicles and services will highly depend upon the adoption by consumers of new energy vehicles in general and electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, and electric bikes in particular. The market for new energy vehicles is still rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, competitive pricing and competitive factors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, and changing consumer demands and behaviors.

Other factors that may influence the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles, and specifically electric vehicles, include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• perceptions about electric vehicles quality, safety, design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality or safety of electric vehicles, whether or not such electric vehicles are produced by us or other manufacturers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• perceptions about electric vehicles' safety in general, in particular safety issues that may be attributed to the use of advanced technology, including electric vehicles systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• range anxiety, including the decline of an electric vehicle's range resulting from deterioration over time in the battery's ability to hold a charge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of new energy vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of service and charging stations for electric vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs and challenges of installing home charging equipment, including for multi-family, rental and densely populated urban housing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the environmental consciousness of consumers, and their adoption of electric vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the occurrence of negative incidents, or perception that negative incidents have occurred, with respect to our or our competitors' electric vehicles resulting in adverse publicity and harm to consumer perceptions in electric vehicles generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the higher initial upfront purchase price of electric vehicles, despite lower cost of ongoing operating and maintenance costs, compared to internal combustion engines vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• perceptions about and the actual cost of alternative fuel, including the capacity and reliability of the electric grid;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• belief that electric vehicles may subject riders and passengers to greater risks because electric vehicles are quieter compared to internal combustion engine vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory, legislative and political changes, trade disputes and tariffs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• macroeconomic factors.

***The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives or government policies that are favorable for electric vehicles and domestically-produced vehicles could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

Any reduction, elimination, or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, or the reduced need for such subsidies and incentives due to the perceived success of the electric vehicle or other reasons, may result in the diminished competitiveness of the alternative fuel and electric vehicle industry generally or our electric vehicles in particular. Additionally, federal, state and local laws may impose additional barriers to electric vehicle adoption, including additional costs. For example, many states have enacted laws imposing additional registration fees for certain hybrid and electric vehicles to support transportation infrastructure, such as highway repairs and improvements, which have traditionally been funded through federal and state gasoline taxes. Any of these conditions could materially and adversely affect the growth of the alternative fuel automobile markets and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Certain current state tax incentives for two wheeled vehicles and federal tax credits and other incentives for alternative energy production and alternative fuel have expired and there is no guarantee these programs will be renewed or extended. If these incentives are not extended or if new federal and state tax incentives for two wheeled vehicles are not enacted in the future, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and negatively affected.

***Our electric motorcycles' quiet performance compared to internal combustion engine motorcycles may subject riders to greater risks.***

Our electric motorcycles are quieter compared to internal combustion engine motorcycles, which may subject riders to greater risks. To the extent accidents associated with our quieter electric motors occur, we could be subject to liability, negative publicity, government scrutiny and further regulation. Any of these results could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***Vehicle retail sales depend heavily on affordable interest rates and availability of credit for vehicle financing and a substantial increase in interest rates could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

In certain regions, including North America and Europe, financing for new vehicle sales has been available at relatively low interest rates for several years due to, among other things, expansive government monetary policies. As interest rates have risen, market rates for new vehicle financing have also risen, which may make our electric vehicles less affordable, adversely affecting our financial condition and operating results. Additionally, all sales of electric motorcycles and related products to H-D independent dealers in the US and Canada are financed through Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. ("HDFS"), therefore we face the risk that HDFS could change its lending policies in the future or be unwilling to finance our future products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, if consumer interest rates increase substantially or if financial service providers tighten lending standards or restrict their lending to certain classes of credit, customers may not desire or be able to obtain financing to purchase our electric vehicles. As a result, a substantial increase in customer interest rates or tightening of lending standards could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***Our inability to effectively grow or manage our financing and credit risk could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results***

We provide financing for sales of electric motorcycles and related products to non-H-D independent dealers in the US and Canada and independent dealers in Europe. As such, we are subject to credit risk of our customers, and our operating results depend on receipt of timely payments from our customers under these arrangements. In addition, STACYC is subject to credit risk of its customers, and its operating results depend on receipt of timely payments from its customers. Any delay in payment by our customers may have an adverse effect on revenue and operating results. There is no assurance that we will be able to collect all or any of the amounts owed in a timely matter. If any of our customers face unexpected situations such as financial difficulties, we may not be able to receive full or any payment of the uncollected sums or enforce any judgment debts against such clients, and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

------

***Our warranty reserves may be insufficient to cover future warranty claims which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

As our electric vehicles are produced, we will need to maintain warranty reserves to cover warranty-related claims. If our warranty reserves are insufficient to cover future warranty claims on our electric vehicles, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. We record and adjust warranty reserves based on changes in estimated costs and actual warranty costs. However, we have limited experience with warranty claims for these electric motorcycles and other electric vehicles and with estimating warranty reserves. In the future, we may become subject to significant and unexpected warranty expenses. There can be no assurances that then-existing warranty reserves will be sufficient to cover all claims.

***We may become subject to product liability claims, which could materially and negatively affect our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.***

We may become subject to product liability claims, which could materially and negatively affect our financial condition and liquidity. The vehicle, motorcycle and bicycle industries experience an abundance of product liability claims. We face the risk of significant monetary exposure to claims in the event our electric vehicles do not perform as expected or contain design, manufacturing, or warning defects and to claims without merit, or in connection with malfunctions resulting in personal injury or death. Moreover, a product liability claim could generate substantial negative publicity about our electric vehicles and business and inhibit or prevent commercialization of other future electric motorcycle vehicles, electric balance bikes, or electric bikes, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity. Any insurance coverage might not be sufficient to cover all potential product liability claims. Any lawsuit seeking significant monetary damages either in excess of our coverage or outside of our coverage may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and financial condition and liquidity. We may not be able to secure additional product liability insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed, particularly if we face liability for our products and are forced to make a claim under our policies.

***We depend on revenue generated from a limited number of models and in the foreseeable future will be significantly dependent on a limited number of models.***

H-D began making initial deliveries of our predecessor electric motorcycle, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire, in September 2019. We then launched the LiveWire One model in July 2021 followed by a special launch edition of the S2 Del Mar® in May 2022 with full production and sales beginning in the third quarter of 2023. During 2024, we introduced additional models off the S2 platform, including Mulholland™ and Alpinista™. For the foreseeable future, the Electric Motorcycles segment will depend on revenue generated from a limited number of models. Historically, motorcycle customers have come to expect a variety of vehicle models offered in a company's fleet and new and improved vehicle models to be introduced frequently.

STACYC's current product portfolio ranges from 12- to 20-inch electric balance bikes built for 3 to 12 year-old riders and an adult pedal assist electric bike that was launched in 2025. For the foreseeable future, STACYC will depend on revenue generated from these limited number of models, until STACYC can expand the range of STACYC riders.

Given that for the foreseeable future our business will depend on a limited number of models, to the extent a particular model is not well received by the market, our sales volume, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

***We are subject to risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes, commodity and credit risk.***

We operate in numerous markets worldwide and are exposed to risks stemming from fluctuations in currency and interest rates. The exposure to currency risk will be mainly linked to differences in the geographic distribution of our manufacturing and commercial activities, resulting in cash flows from sales being denominated in currencies different from those of purchases or production activities. Although we may manage risks associated with fluctuations in currency and interest rates and commodity prices through financial hedging instruments, significant changes in currency or interest rates or commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, we may use various forms of financing to cover future funding requirements for our activities and changes in interest rates can affect our finance costs and margins. Furthermore, many competitors headquartered outside the U.S. experience a financial benefit from a strengthening in the U.S. dollar relative to their home currency that can enable them to reduce prices to U.S. consumers. We are also subject to risks associated with changes in prices of commodities.

***The loss of key personnel could adversely affect the operations and profitability of our business.***

We are highly dependent on our senior management and other key personnel. Our success will depend on our ability to retain senior management and to attract, recruit, retain, manage and motivate qualified personnel in the future. The loss of members of our senior management, sales and marketing professionals and engineers could result in delays in product development and materially and negatively affect our business. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

***Our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected by health pandemics and epidemics, natural disasters, actual or threatened war, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks.***

We face various risks related to public health issues, including epidemics, pandemics and other outbreaks, such as the pandemic related to COVID-19 and associated variants. We also face various risks related to natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis or other natural disasters. Such public health issues or natural disasters could disrupt our business operations, reduce or restrict our supply of materials and services, result in us incurring significant costs to protect our employees and facilities or result in regional or global economic distress, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Actual or threatened war, including the conflict in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, terrorist activities, political unrest, geopolitical events and related actions that may occur between mainland China and Taiwan, civil strife, tariffs, trade wars, and other geopolitical uncertainty could have a similar adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Any one or more of these events may impede our production and delivery efforts and adversely affect our sales results, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks could result in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the such outbreaks, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. These measures in the past have adversely impacted our employees and operations, the operations of our suppliers, vendors and business partners, resulted in delays and shortages of certain parts and materials necessary to produce our vehicles, and the activities of our retail customers and negatively impact our production plans, sales and marketing activities, business and results of operations. In addition, various aspects of our business cannot be conducted remotely. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including due to illness, quarantines, social distancing, government actions or other restrictions in connection with public health issues, our operations may be adversely impacted. If government authorities reinstitute such measures or if existing measures remain in place for a significant period of time, they are likely to adversely affect our sales and marketing activities, and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Specifically, difficult macroeconomic conditions, such as decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment, or a decline in consumer confidence as a result of future epidemics, pandemics and other outbreaks, the conflict in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, geopolitical events and related actions that may occur between mainland China and Taiwan and inflationary pressure could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our vehicles or sourcing of components. Under difficult economic conditions, potential customers may seek to reduce spending by forgoing our electric vehicles for other traditional options, increase use of public and mass transportation options or choose to keep their existing vehicles.

We are also vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. Although we have servers that are hosted in an offsite location, our backup system does not capture data on a real-time basis and we may be unable to recover certain data in the event of a server failure. We cannot assure you that any backup systems will be adequate to protect us from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks or similar events. Any of these events may give rise to interruptions, damage to our property, delays in production, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or Internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware as well as adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***Weather may impact retail sales by our independent dealers.***

We have observed that abnormally cold and/or wet conditions in a region, including impacts from hurricanes or unusual storms, which may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change, could have the effect of reducing demand or changing the timing for purchases of our electric motorcycles at independent dealerships. Reduced demand for new electric motorcycles ultimately leads to reduced shipments by us.

------

***Any financial or economic crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

The global macroeconomic environment is facing challenges. There is considerable uncertainty over the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies adopted by the central banks and financial authorities of some of the world's leading economies, including the United States. There have been concerns over the downturn in economic output caused by global trade issues and changes in and uncertainties with respect to trade and export regulations, trade policies and sanctions, tariffs, international trade disputes, particularly those relating to exports of certain technologies to China, geopolitical events and related actions that may occur between mainland China and Taiwan, the conflict in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian military conflict, and inflationary pressure. It is unclear whether these challenges will be contained and what effects they each may have. Economic conditions in the United States are sensitive to global economic conditions. Any prolonged slowdown in the United States economic growth might lead to tighter credit markets, increased market volatility, sudden drops in business and consumer confidence and dramatic changes in business and consumer behaviors. Credit risks of customers and suppliers and other counterparty risks may also increase.

Sales of our electric vehicles depend in part on discretionary consumer spending and are even more exposed to adverse changes in general economic conditions. In response to their perceived uncertainty in economic conditions, consumers might delay, reduce or cancel purchases of our electric vehicles, and our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

***Our financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in our operating costs, product demand and other factors.***

We expect our period-to-period financial results to vary based on our operating costs and product demand, which we anticipate will fluctuate as we continue to design, develop, produce and distribute new electric vehicles. Additionally, our revenue from period to period may fluctuate as we build out global distribution, add new product derivatives based on market demand and margin opportunities and introduce new or existing electric vehicles to new markets. Additionally, our revenue from period to period may fluctuate due to seasonality. Unfavorable weather during peak riding seasons or shortened seasons in key markets can reduce retail demand, elevate dealer inventories, and increase working capital needs. As a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our financial results, especially in the short term, are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. Moreover, our financial results may not meet the expectations of equity research analysts, ratings agencies or investors, who may be focused only on quarterly financial results and holding us to the same standard of expectation as H-D. If any of this occurs, the trading price of our Common Stock could fall substantially, either suddenly or over time.

***We may seek to obtain future financing through the issuance of debt or equity, which may have an adverse effect on our stockholders or may otherwise adversely affect our business.***

If we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity or debt, including convertible debt or debt secured by some or all of our assets, holders of any debt securities or preferred shares issued will have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock in the event of liquidation. If we issue additional debt, there is a possibility that once all senior claims are settled, there may be no assets remaining to pay out to the holders of Common Stock. Furthermore, the terms of any additional debt securities we may issue in the future may impose restrictions on our operations, which may include limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on or repurchase our share capital or make certain acquisitions or investments. In addition, we may be subject to covenants requiring us to satisfy certain financial tests and ratios, and our ability to satisfy such covenants may be affected by events outside of our control. On November 9, 2025, we entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") with H-D. All of the obligations under the Term Loan are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and the Term Loan subjects us to restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. See "—*The Term Loan contains covenants that may restrict our business and financing activities*" and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for more information about the Term Loan.

In addition, in August 2025, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as agent (the "Agent"), under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, an aggregate gross sale price of up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock through the Agent (the "ATM Program"). There were 448,171 shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program in the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, $47.8 million in capacity remained available under the ATM Program. If we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity, whether through private placements or public offerings, such an issuance would dilute ownership of our current stockholders that do not participate in the issuance.

------

If we are unable to obtain any needed additional funding, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned research, development, production and marketing activities, any of which could materially affect our business.

***We intend to continue to grant equity awards under our Incentive Award Plan, which has resulted and will result in additional share-based compensation expenses.***

We adopted the Incentive Award Plan for the purpose of granting share-based compensation to employees, directors and consultants to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. We believe the granting of share-based compensation may be important to our ability to attract and retain key personnel and employees. As a result, our expenses associated with share-based compensation has increased and will increase, which will have an adverse effect on our operating results.

***If our electric vehicle owners modify our electric vehicles regardless of whether third-party aftermarket products are used, the electric vehicle may not operate properly, which may create negative publicity and could materially and negatively affect our business.***

Vehicle enthusiasts may seek to alter our electric vehicles to modify their performance which could compromise vehicle safety and security systems. Also, customers may customize their electric vehicles with aftermarket parts that can compromise rider safety. We may not test, nor do we endorse, such changes or products. In addition, customers may attempt to modify our electric vehicles' charging systems or use improper external cabling or unsafe charging outlets that can compromise the vehicle systems or expose our customers to injury from high-voltage electricity. Such unauthorized modifications could reduce the safety and security of our electric vehicles and any injuries resulting from such modifications could result in adverse publicity, which would negatively affect our brand and thus materially and negatively affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***Our inability to obtain and/or retain necessary licenses and permits to operate the business may negatively impact our financial results.***

It may be necessary for us to use the patented or proprietary technology of third parties to develop or commercialize our products, in which case we would be required to obtain a license or acquire intellectual property from these third parties. The licensing or acquisition of third-party intellectual property is a competitive area, and several more established companies may pursue strategies to license or acquire third-party intellectual property that we may consider attractive or necessary and thereby prevent us from obtaining the right to use such intellectual property ourselves. In addition, companies that perceive us to be a competitor may be unwilling to assign or license rights to us. If we are unable to license such technology, or if we are forced to license such technology on unfavorable terms, our business could be materially and negatively affected. If we are unable to obtain a necessary license, we may be unable to develop or commercialize the affected product models, which could materially and negatively affect our business, and the third parties owning such intellectual property could seek either an injunction prohibiting our sales or, with respect to our sales, an obligation on our part to pay royalties and/or other forms of compensation. Even if we are able to obtain a license, it may be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us.

Moreover, some of our patents and patent applications in the future may be jointly owned with third parties. If we are unable to obtain an exclusive license to any such third-party joint owners' interests in such patents or patent applications, such joint owners may be able to license their rights to other third parties, including our competitors, who could market competing products and technology. In addition, we may need the cooperation of any such joint owners to enforce such patents against third parties, and such cooperation may not be provided to us. Any of these factors could materially and negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If our goodwill becomes impaired, our operating results could be negatively impacted.***

We have goodwill, which is susceptible to valuation adjustments as a result of changes in various factors or conditions. Goodwill is tested for impairment, based on financial data related to the reporting unit to which it has been assigned, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment of such assets include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in our organization or management reporting structure that could result in additional reporting units, which may require alternative methods of estimating fair values or greater disaggregation or aggregation in our analysis by reporting unit;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant under performance relative to historical or projected future operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant changes in the strategy for our overall business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant negative industry or economic trends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our market capitalization declining to below net book value.

Future adverse changes in these or other unforeseeable factors could result in goodwill or other intangible assets impairment charges that could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

***The Term Loan contains covenants that may restrict our business and financing activities.***

On November 9, 2025, we entered into the Term Loan Agreement with H-D. Our Term Loan provides us with access of up to $75.0 million to be drawn by the Company between November 17, 2025 and December 15, 2025. On December 15, 2025, we borrowed $75.0 million under the Term Loan. All of the obligations under the Term Loan are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The maturity date of the Term Loan is December 15, 2027. For more information on the Term Loan, see Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.

The Term Loan subjects us to restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. The covenants in the Term Loan, as well as any future financing arrangements that we may enter into, may restrict our ability to finance our operations, engage in, expand, or otherwise pursue its business activities and strategies. Our ability to comply with these or other covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and future breaches of these or other covenants could result in a default under the Term Loan. If not waived, future defaults could cause all of the outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan to become immediately due and payable, and the Term Loan may terminate. If we do not have or are unable to generate sufficient cash to repay its debt obligations when they become due and payable, either upon maturity or in the event of a default, we would be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, which may negatively impact our ability to operate and continue our business as a going concern.

**Risks Related to the Separation and Our Ongoing Relationship with H-D**

***Our business and H-D's business overlap and we may compete, or be perceived as competitors, in certain markets.***

Both LiveWire and H-D are companies whose primary business involves producing, marketing and selling vehicles and related products. While we intend to operate in a different business segment than H-D, neither we nor H-D is prohibited from competing against each other. Additionally, under the Intellectual Property License Agreement, H-D has the right to use our existing intellectual property and incremental improvements to our existing intellectual property, which could facilitate H-D's development of products that compete with ours; however, H-D may be required in some cases to pay us royalties for the use of our existing intellectual property and their rights to our newly-developed intellectual property would be limited as defined under the Joint Development Agreement. If we were in competition with H-D, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or our ability to pursue opportunities which may otherwise be available to us.

***Our inability to maintain a strong relationship with H-D or to resolve favorably any disputes that may arise between us and H-D could result in a significant reduction of our revenue.***

Maintaining a strong relationship with H-D and its management team will be important to our success for at least as long as H-D remains a majority stockholder. Disputes may arise between H-D and us in a number of areas relating to our ongoing relationship, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our strategy, direction and objectives as a business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• labor, tax, employee benefit, indemnification and other matters arising from our separation from H-D;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee retention and recruiting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquisitions, joint ventures, or business combinations involving us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to engage in activities with certain customers, suppliers, partners or other contract manufacturers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales or dispositions by H-D of all or any portion of its ownership interest in us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the nature, quality and pricing of loans, contract manufacturing, and other services H-D has agreed to provide us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• supply chain, including access to parts and raw material supplies, as well as allocation of manufacturing labor, parts and other supplies shared across H-D's manufacturing facilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• business opportunities that may be attractive to us or both H-D and us; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product or technology development or marketing activities that may require the consent of H-D.

------

While we have the Conflicts Committee to help resolve any potential conflict between us and H-D, we may not be able to resolve all potential conflicts. Assuming we are able to resolve such a potential conflict, we intend for such resolution to be comparable to the resolution that we would reach with an unaffiliated party. However, the resolution that we actually reach may be less favorable than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated party.

The agreements we entered into with H-D may be amended upon agreement between the parties. While we are controlled by H-D, we may not have the leverage to negotiate agreements or amendments to these agreements, if required, on terms as favorable to us as those we would negotiate with an unaffiliated third party.

***We are a smaller company relative to H-D which could result in increased costs because of a decrease in our purchasing power and difficulty maintaining existing customer relationships and obtaining new customers.***

Prior to the Separation, we were able to take advantage of H-D's size and purchasing power in procuring goods, technology and services, including insurance, employee benefit support and audit and other professional services. While this may continue in some ways with H-D as a majority stockholder and contract manufacturer, we are a smaller company than H-D, and we cannot assure you that we will have access to financial and other resources comparable to those available to us prior to the Separation. As a standalone company, we may be unable to obtain office space, goods, technology, insurance and services at prices or on terms as favorable as those available to us prior to the Separation, which could increase our costs and reduce our profitability. Likewise, we may find it more difficult to attract and retain high-quality employees as a smaller company than we were operating within as a wholly owned subsidiary of H-D, which could impact our results of operations. Our future success also depends on our ability to develop and maintain relationships with customers. Our reduced relationship with H-D and our smaller relative size as a result of the Separation may make it more difficult to develop and maintain relationships with customers, which could adversely affect our prospects.

***We are dependent on H-D for a number of services, including services relating to quality and safety testing. If those service arrangements terminate, it will require significant investment for us to build our own safety and testing facilities, or we may be required to obtain such services from another third party at increased costs.***

We are dependent on H-D for a number of services, including services relating to quality and safety testing. If these service arrangements terminate, we do not currently have alternate arrangements in place that will allow us to fully execute our business plan, including, without limitation, agreements for quality and safety testing, and as such, we will be required to deploy significant resources to build our own safety and testing facilities, or may be required to obtain such services from another third party at increased costs. If we are unable to maintain such arrangements and agreements, or if we are unable to effectively build our own facilities or obtain such services from another third party, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

***Any decision by us to help electrify H-D products, or the products of any other company, may not achieve the intended results or return on investment when compared to developing our own motorcycle portfolio.***

We may decide to help electrify H-D's and other companies' products in the future. While we expect electrifying H-D's motorcycle portfolio to be a key piece of our future success, these efforts require resources that may otherwise be used on our electric vehicle portfolio. All project scopes, resource allocation, time commitment, and investment dollars dedicated to the electrification of H-D's core products will be governed and costs allocated by separate joint development agreements that will be established and agreed upon by the LiveWire and H-D management teams. If the available resources do not support both LiveWire and H-D electrification efforts, it could negatively impact development of our electric vehicles and ultimately our ability to deliver targeted revenues and operating income.

***H-D may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that were executed as part of the Separation or we may fail to have necessary systems and services in place when certain of the transaction agreements expire.***

We entered into a number of agreements with H-D as a result of the Separation, including the Trademark License Agreement, Contract Manufacturing Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Services Agreement, Joint Development Agreement and Intellectual Property License Agreement, pursuant to which we and/or H-D have continuing obligations to each other. If we or H-D fail to perform obligations under such agreements, our business may be negatively impacted. Furthermore, upon the expiration or termination of such agreements, we may not have necessary or comparable systems and services in place to replace the services provided under such agreements, which may negatively impact our business.

------

***We will be required to make payments to H-D under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Services Agreement, and certain other agreements, and the amounts of such payments could be significant.***

We have entered into certain agreements pursuant to which we will be obligated to make payments to H-D. Such agreements include the Contract Manufacturing Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Services Agreement, and certain others. The amounts payable under these agreements could be significant and could prohibit or restrict us from using these funds in other aspects of our business. Additionally, if we fail to make payments under the contracts we have with H-D, it may be determined that we are in breach of contract, and we may have to pay damages or renegotiate those contracts. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to renegotiate the contracts we have with H-D or that any renegotiated terms will be favorable to us. The occurrence of such events could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

***As we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards and rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements, our stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.***

As a result of the Separation, H-D owns more than 50% of the total voting power of our Common Stock and we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance rules of the NYSE. Under these corporate governance standards, a "controlled company" may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. For example, controlled companies are not required to have:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a board that is composed of a majority of "independent directors," as defined under the NYSE rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• director nominations be made, or recommended to the full board of directors, by its independent directors, or by a nominations/governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors.

We utilize these exemptions. Accordingly, you do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.

***We may not be successful as an independent, publicly traded company, and we will not enjoy the same benefits that we did as a wholly owned subsidiary of H-D.***

As a result of the Separation, H-D indemnifies us for certain liabilities and we indemnify H-D for certain liabilities. If we are required to act on these indemnities for the benefit of H-D, we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and our financial results could be negatively impacted. Additionally, any indemnity from H-D may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of liabilities for which we may be allocated responsibility, and H-D may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future.

Third parties may seek to hold us responsible for H-D's liabilities. Likewise, our relationship with H-D, as a much larger company and our majority stockholder, may make us more of a target for litigation than we otherwise would be on our own. Under certain agreements entered into with H-D in connection with the Separation, we indemnify H-D for claims and losses relating to liabilities related to our business, and H-D indemnifies us for claims and losses relating to liabilities related to H-D's business and not related to our business. However, if those liabilities are significant and we are ultimately held liable for them, we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover the full amount of our losses from H-D.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement and certain other agreements with H-D, H-D agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities. However, third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that H-D has agreed to retain, and there can be no assurance that the indemnity from H-D will be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities or that H-D will be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. In addition, H-D's insurers may deny coverage to us for liabilities associated with certain occurrences of indemnified liabilities prior to the Separation. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from H-D or such insurance providers any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses. Each of these risks could negatively affect our businesses, financial position and operating results.

------

***Some of our directors and executive officers own restricted stock units and/or stock options covering H-D common stock that fluctuate in value in accordance with the value of H-D's share price and/or other performance metrics, which could cause conflicts of interest that could result in us not acting on opportunities we otherwise may have.***

Some of our directors and executive officers own H-D restricted stock units and/or stock options that fluctuate in value in accordance with the value of H-D's share price. In addition, some of our directors are executive officers of H-D. Ownership of restricted stock units and options that fluctuate in value in accordance with the value of H-D's share price by our directors after the Separation and the presence of executive officers of H-D on our Board could create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving both us and H-D that could have different implications for H-D than they do for us. Provisions of our certificate of incorporation address corporate opportunities that are presented to our directors or officers that are also directors or officers of H-D. We cannot assure you that the provisions in our certificate of incorporation adequately address potential conflicts of interest, that potential conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor or that we will be able to take advantage of corporate opportunities presented to individuals who are officers or directors of both us and H-D. As a result, we may be precluded from pursuing certain growth initiatives, which could adversely affect our business.

***H-D holds the direct contractual relationship with many key suppliers required for us to produce our electric vehicles. Disputes between H-D and these critical suppliers may negatively impact our electric vehicle production.***

Our existing and potential relationships with partners and suppliers may be affected by our relationship with H-D. We partner with and purchase from a number of suppliers with whom H-D has a direct contractual relationship. H-D's majority ownership in us might affect our ability to develop and maintain relationships with these suppliers, including because H-D may require us to limit our relationships with them or not work with them at all. Additionally, H-D might choose not to pursue enforcement of these contracts on our behalf to preserve H-D's relationship with the partner or supplier. Likewise, these suppliers may be less willing or unwilling to develop and maintain relationships with us, and may favor our competitors or may view us as competitors, because of our relationship with H-D.

H-D may compete with certain of our significant channel, technology and other marketing partners as well as certain of our suppliers. Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and certain agreements that we have entered into with H-D as a result of the Separation, H-D may have the ability to impact our relationship with these suppliers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, and our ability to pursue opportunities which may otherwise be available to us or electric vehicle production.

**Risks Related to Information Technology, Intellectual Property, Data Security and Privacy** 

***We collect and process significant information about our customers and their vehicles and are subject to various privacy, marketing and consumer protection laws.***

We collect, receive, store, transmit and otherwise process different types of information about or related to a range of individuals, including our customers, riders of our electric vehicles, website visitors, users of our mobile application, our employees, job applicants and employees of other companies that we do business with (such as our vendors and suppliers). By providing financing to customers, we also collect financing related information subject to financial privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 and its implementing regulations. In addition to the information we collect from our customers to complete a sale or transaction, we use our electric vehicles' onboard electronic systems to capture information about each electric vehicle's use, such as location, charge time, battery usage, mileage and driving behavior, among other things, to aid us in providing services including electric vehicle diagnostics, repair, maintenance, insurance, roadside assistance and vehicle emergency services. Our customers may in the future choose not to provide this data, which may materially and negatively affect our business and our ability to properly maintain the vehicle. Possession and use of our customers' driving behavior, electric vehicle use and other information may subject us to legislative and regulatory burdens and risks, and we will be required to comply with increasingly complex and rigorous regulatory standards enacted to protect business and personal information in the United States, Europe and elsewhere.

------

A wide variety of state, federal and international laws as well as regulations, industry standards and contractual obligations apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal information and other types of information. Evolving and changing privacy laws and regulations within the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom (the "UK") and elsewhere, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business and some jurisdictions. The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") and many state attorneys general are also interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws (including the Federal Trade Commission Act) as imposing standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data and connected products. The FTC and state attorneys general have focused particular attention on the processing of vehicle-related and location data in recent years, which elevates the risk of our processing of such data. We are also subject to certain laws and regulations that have been enacted or proposed, such as "Right to Repair" laws, which could require us to provide third-party access to our network and/or vehicle systems. Our failure to comply with applicable laws, directives and regulations may result in civil claims or enforcement actions against us, including liabilities, fines and damage to our reputation, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify these risks.

Data protection and privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and may result in ever increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. For example, various states have enacted and amended privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), and prior to that the EU adopted General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"). These privacy laws impose additional regulatory obligations regarding the handling of personal information and further provide certain individual privacy rights to persons whose data is processed by covered organizations. Some of these privacy laws provide for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for certain security breaches that may increase security breach litigation. The various state, federal and international privacy laws create a patchwork of overlapping but different privacy compliance requirements. As these laws evolve, we cannot fully predict the impact of such laws, or subsequent guidance, regulations or rules on our business or operations, including those that are still in draft form, but it may increase our compliance costs and potential liability, particularly in the event of a data breach, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, including how we use personal information, our financial condition and the results of our operations or prospects. A number of other proposals exist for new international, federal and state privacy legislation that, if passed, could increase our potential liability, increase our compliance costs, modify our data processing practices and materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

The GDPR and other foreign privacy laws generally prohibit the international transfer of personal information (including to the United States) unless a lawful data transfer solution has been implemented or applies. Recent legal developments in Europe have created complexity and uncertainty regarding transfers of personal information from the EU and the UK to third countries, including the United States. As the enforcement landscape further develops, and supervisory authorities issue further guidance on international data transfers, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines; we may have to stop using certain tools and vendors and make other operational changes; we have had to and will have to implement and update lawful data transfer solutions, including the Standard Contractual Clauses; and/or it could otherwise affect the manner in which we provide our services and adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

The EU, UK, and US also have evolving privacy laws on cookies, tracking technologies, and e-marketing. Regulators are increasingly focusing on compliance with requirements in the online behavioral advertising ecosystem. In the U.S. there has been a noticeable uptick in class actions wherein plaintiffs have utilized a variety of laws, including the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988 and state wiretapping laws, in relation to companies' use of tracking technologies, such as cookies and pixels. For additional information, and if applicable, see "We are, and may in the future be, subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. If the outcomes of these proceedings are adverse to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results." If the trend of increasing enforcement by regulators and increasing civil privacy claims related to online tracking technologies continues, this could lead to substantial costs, require significant systems changes, limit the effectiveness of our marketing activities, divert the attention of our technology personnel, adversely affect our margins, and subject us to additional liabilities. In light of the complex and evolving nature of privacy laws on cookies and tracking technologies, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to comply with such laws; violations of such laws could result in regulatory investigations, fines, orders to cease/change our use of such technologies, reputational damage as well as significant costs related to civil claims including class actions.

In addition, in the EU, the Data Act came into force on January 11, 2024, laying down rules to foster a competitive data market by making data more accessible and usable. The Data Act may apply to certain data arising from the use of our connected products in the EU and may require us to make such data available to consumers and other businesses. This may require additional compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, and/or result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil claims against us, and could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

------

Although we make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, our interpretations and efforts may have been or may prove to be insufficient or incorrect. We also make public statements about our use and disclosure of personal information through our privacy policy, information provided on our websites and other public statements. Although we endeavor to ensure that our public statements are complete, accurate and fully implemented, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. We may be subject to potential regulatory or other legal action if such policies or statements are found to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual practices. In addition, from time to time, concerns may be expressed about whether our products and services compromise the privacy of our customers, riders and others. Any concerns about our data privacy and security practices (even if unfounded), or any failure, real or perceived, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any legal or regulatory requirements, standards, certifications or orders or other privacy or consumer protection-related laws and regulations applicable to us, could cause our customers, riders and users to reduce their use of our products and services.

The regulatory framework for data privacy issues worldwide is currently evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and it is possible that applicable laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations, our privacy policies or our privacy-related obligations to users or other third parties, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized access to or transfer of personal information or other customer data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause our customers, riders and users to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. If a third party alleges that we have violated applicable data privacy laws, we could face legal claims and damages as well as reputational harm among consumers, investors and strategic partners. We may also incur significant expenses to comply with privacy, consumer protection and security standards and controls imposed by laws, regulations, industry standards or contractual obligations. Changes in applicable privacy laws could also require us to modify our services and features—possibly in a material and costly manner—and may limit our ability to develop new services and features that make use of the data that our users voluntarily share with us. These possibilities, if borne out, could have a negative impact on revenues and profits.

***We are subject to cybersecurity risks to our various information systems and software and any material failure, weakness, interruption, cyber event, incident or breach of security could prevent us from effectively operating our business.***

We are at risk for interruptions, outages and breaches of (a) operational systems, including business, financial, accounting, product development, data processing or production processes, owned by us or our third-party vendors or suppliers; (b) facility security systems, owned by us or our third-party vendors or suppliers; (c) transmission control modules or other in-product technology, owned by us or our third-party vendors or suppliers; (d) the integrated software in our electric vehicles, including connected vehicle functionality; (e) our mobile application software; or (f) customer or rider data that we process or our third-party vendors or suppliers process on our behalf. In addition, we and our third-party vendors or suppliers that host our data may encounter attempted attacks on their networks and information systems that may take a variety of forms, including denial of service attacks, infrastructure attacks, botnets, malicious file attacks, cross-site scripting, credential abuse, phishing, social engineering, ransomware, bugs, viruses, worms, and malicious software programs. All of these types of cybersecurity incidents can give rise to a variety of losses and costs, including legal claims or proceedings (such as class actions), regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, fines and penalties, damages to reputation, significant incident response, restoration and remediation costs, and others. These incidents could also materially disrupt operational systems; result in loss of intellectual property, trade secrets, confidential information, other proprietary or competitively sensitive information and data generally (including personal information); compromise certain information of customers, employees, suppliers, riders, users or others; harm our reputation or brand; or affect the performance of transmission control modules or other in-product technology and the integrated software in our electric vehicles.

------

A cybersecurity incident could be caused by disasters, insiders (through inadvertence or with malicious intent) or malicious third parties (including nation-states or nation-state supported actors) using sophisticated, targeted methods to circumvent firewalls, encryption and other security defenses, including hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception. The techniques used by threat actors change frequently, are becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated, and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time. We receive information technology services, including cybersecurity support, from H-D through the Master Services Agreement. Although we maintain information technology and other measures designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our information systems, and protect us against intellectual property theft, data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents, such measures will require updates and improvements, and we cannot guarantee that such measures will be adequate to detect, prevent or mitigate cybersecurity threats or incidents. The implementation, maintenance, segregation and improvement of these information systems requires significant management time, support and cost. Moreover, there are inherent risks associated with developing, improving, expanding and updating current systems, including the disruption of our data management, procurement, production execution, finance, supply chain and sales and service processes. These risks may affect our ability to manage our data and inventory, procure parts or supplies or produce, sell, deliver and service our electric vehicles, adequately protect our intellectual property or achieve and maintain compliance with, or realize available benefits under, applicable laws, regulations and contracts. We cannot be sure that these information systems upon which we rely, including those of our third-party vendors or suppliers, will be effectively implemented, maintained or expanded as planned. If we do not successfully implement, maintain or expand these systems as planned, our operations may be disrupted, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be impaired, and deficiencies may arise in our internal control over financial reporting, which may impact our ability to certify our financial results. Moreover, our proprietary information, confidential information, intellectual property or personal information that we hold could be compromised or misappropriated and our reputation may be adversely affected. If these systems do not operate as we expect them to, we may be required to expend significant resources to make corrections or find alternative sources for performing these functions.

A significant cybersecurity incident could impact production capability, harm our reputation, cause us to breach our contracts with other parties or subject us to regulatory actions or litigation, any of which could materially affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, while we maintain insurance coverage, our insurance coverage for cyberattacks may not be sufficient to cover all the losses, liabilities and costs we may experience as a result of a cybersecurity incident, including any disruptions resulting from such an incident, or that applicable insurance will be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms or at all.

We also work with partners and third-party service providers or vendors that collect, store and process data on our behalf and in connection with our products and services. There can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers or vendors have implemented will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our systems and information, including against current or future cybersecurity threats. While we have developed systems and processes designed to protect the availability, integrity, confidentiality and security of us and our customers', riders', website visitors', employees' and others' data and information, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers or vendors could fail and result in security incidents, including unauthorized access to or disclosure, acquisition, encryption, modification, misuse, loss, destruction or other compromise of such data. If a compromise of such data were to occur, we may have liability under our contracts with other parties and under applicable law for damages and incur penalties and other costs to respond to, investigate and remedy such an incident. Laws in all 50 U.S. states require us to provide notice to customers, regulators, credit reporting agencies or others when certain sensitive information has been compromised as a result of a security breach. Laws outside of the U.S., including in Europe and the UK, may also require us to provide notice to individuals or other third parties. There are significant differences between the laws of the various U.S. states and other jurisdictions, and as a result, compliance in the event of a widespread data breach could be complicated, in addition to being costly. Depending on the facts and circumstances of such an incident, these damages, penalties, fines and costs could be significant. Such an event could harm our reputation and result in litigation against us. Any of these results could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time consuming and would cause us to incur substantial costs.*** 

Companies, organizations, or individuals, including our competitors, may currently hold, or obtain in the future, patents, trademarks or other proprietary or intellectual property that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell or market our vehicles, components or other goods and services, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. From time to time, we may receive communications from holders of patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property or proprietary rights alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating such rights. Such parties may bring suits against us alleging infringement or other violation of such rights, or otherwise assert their rights and urge us to take licenses to their intellectual property. While we try to avoid infringing the rights of others, we may unknowingly do so. For example, we may not be aware of existing patents or patent applications that could be pertinent to our business as many patent applications are filed confidentially in the United States and are not published until 18 months following the applicable filing date. In the event that a claim relating to intellectual property is asserted against us, our suppliers or our third-party licensors, or if third parties not affiliated with us hold patents that relate to our products or technology, we may need to seek licenses to such intellectual property or seek to challenge those patents. Even if we are able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors and other third parties access to the same technologies licensed to us. In addition, we may be unable to obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and our challenge of third-party patents may be unsuccessful. Litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims, regardless of merit, may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our technical, legal, and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. Further, if we are determined to have infringed upon a third party's intellectual property, we may be required to do one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cease selling, incorporating certain components into, or using vehicles or offering goods or services that incorporate or use the intellectual property that we allegedly infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pay substantial royalty or license fees or other damages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• seek a license from the holder of the allegedly infringed intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• redesign or reengineer our vehicles or other technology, goods or services, which may be costly, time-consuming or impossible; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establish and maintain alternative branding for our products and services.

In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license to the infringed technology or other intellectual property on acceptable terms, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention.

***If we are unable to maintain, protect or enforce our rights in our proprietary technology, brands or other intellectual property, our competitive advantage, business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and negatively affected.***

Our failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of, or prevent others from unauthorized use of, our intellectual property could materially and negatively affect our competitive advantage, business, financial condition and results of operations. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, trademark and other intellectual property laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, intellectual property licenses, and other contractual rights, to establish and protect our rights in our technology and intellectual property.

We have applied for patent protection relating to certain of our existing and proposed products, processes and services. However, we cannot assure you that our patent applications will issue as patents, or if they do issue, that they will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide our technologies with meaningful protection or our business with commercial protection. Further, the issued patents we own could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others. Some patent applications in the US are maintained in secrecy for a period of time after they are filed, and since publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature tends to lag behind actual discoveries by several months, we cannot be certain that we will be the first to invent the inventions covered by any of our patent applications or the first to file patent applications on such inventions. Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe our patents, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our patents.

We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. To protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information, our policy is to require that relevant employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators enter into confidentiality agreements. We cannot assure you that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or

------

other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure of such trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, our competitive position, business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and negatively affected.

We rely on our trademarks, trade names, and brand names to distinguish our products, services and business from those of our competitors and have registered or applied to register certain of these trademarks. We cannot assure you that our trademark applications will be approved. Third parties may also oppose our trademark applications, or otherwise challenge our use of our trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote resources to advertising and marketing new brands. Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe our trademarks, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, third parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property or seek court declarations that our intellectual property is invalid or unenforceable, or that they do not infringe upon our intellectual property. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly, and the steps we have taken or may take in the future in an effort to prevent infringement or misappropriation may not be successful. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.

Patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws vary significantly throughout the world. A number of foreign countries do not protect intellectual property to the same extent as they are protected in the United States. Therefore, our intellectual property may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage and a decrease in our revenue which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

**Risks Related to Other Legal, Regulatory and Tax Matters**

***We are subject to substantial regulation and unfavorable changes to, or failure by us to comply with, current or future regulations could materially and negatively affect our business and operating results. Increased environmental, safety, emissions or other regulations, including those intended to address climate change, may result in higher costs, cash expenditures and/or sales restrictions.***

Our electric vehicles, and the sale of motorcycles, electric balance bikes for kids, and electric bikes in general, are subject to substantial regulation under international, federal, state and local laws. We expect to incur significant costs in complying with these regulations. Regulations related to the electric vehicle industry and alternative energy are currently evolving and we face risks associated with changes to these regulations, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the imposition of a carbon tax or the introduction of a cap-and-trade system on electric utilities, either of which could increase the cost of electricity and thereby the cost of operating an electric vehicle;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new state regulations of electric vehicles fees could discourage consumer demand for electric vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the increase of subsidies for alternative fuels such as corn and ethanol could reduce the operating cost of vehicles that use such alternative fuels and gasoline, and thereby reduce the appeal of electric vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to the regulations governing the sourcing, assembly, transportation and labeling of battery cells (such as the Batteries Regulation in the EU and related secondary legislation) could increase the cost of battery cells or make such commodities more difficult to obtain;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in regulation, for example relating to the noise required to be emitted by electric vehicles, may impact the design or function of electric vehicles, and thereby lead to decreased consumer appeal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in regulations governing the range and miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent calculations could lower our electric vehicles' ratings, making electric vehicles less appealing to consumers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the U.S. NHTSA Corporate Average Fuel Economy ("CAFE") standards could reduce new business opportunities for our business.

In particular, jurisdictions, including the EU, continue to progress initiatives that may have a significant impact on the sourcing of batteries. In the EU, these include: (i) the revised Batteries Regulation, which entered into force in August 2023 and which will introduce, in a phased in manner, considerable new requirements in relation to batteries placed on the EU market; (ii) the Critical Raw Materials Act, which enacted in April 2024 and will, among other areas, set targets in relation to the EU's domestic extraction, processing and recycling of certain raw materials; and (iii) the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which was enacted in July 2024 and will impose additional obligations on certain entities in relation to their supply

------

chains. To the extent that our current practices do not align with these and other updated and/or proposed regulatory developments, this may lead to additional costs to the sourcing, assembly, transportation, and labeling of batteries.

In addition, to the extent the laws change, our electric vehicles may not comply with applicable international, federal, state or local laws, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Compliance with changing regulations could be burdensome, time consuming and expensive. To the extent compliance with new regulations is cost prohibitive, our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

Internationally, there may be laws in jurisdictions we have not yet entered or laws we are unaware of in jurisdictions we have entered that may restrict our sales or other business practices. Even for those jurisdictions we have analyzed, the laws in this area can be complex, difficult to interpret and may change over time. Continued regulatory limitations and other obstacles interfering with our ability to sell electric vehicles directly to consumers could have a negative and material impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

***Our operations may impact the environment or cause exposure to hazardous substances, and our properties may have environmental contamination, which could result in material liabilities to us.***

Our operations currently use hazardous materials and generate limited quantities of hazardous wastes from time to time. We could become subject to claims for toxic torts, natural resource damages and other damages as well as for the investigation and cleanup of contamination in the soil, surface water, groundwater, air, and other media. Such claims may arise, for example, out of conditions at sites that we currently lease, own or operate, as well as at sites that we previously leased, owned or operated, at sites that we may acquire, or at third-party disposal sites. Under certain federal and state environmental laws, our liability for such conditions may be joint and several with other owners/operators or through our contract manufacturer, so that we may be held responsible for more than our share, or even for the entire share, of the contamination or other damages. Liability under these laws is generally strict. Accordingly, we may incur liability without regard to fault or to the legality of the conduct giving rise to the conditions. These and other similar unforeseen impacts that our operations may have on the environment, as well as exposures to hazardous substances or wastes associated with our operations, could result in costs and liabilities that could materially and adversely affect us.

We are also subject to permitting, registration, and other government approval requirements under environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Those requirements obligate us to obtain permits, registrations, certifications, and other government approvals from one or more governmental agencies to conduct our operations and sell our products. The requirements vary depending on the location where our regulated activities are conducted. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining required permits, registrations, and other government approvals could result in production delays or the ability to sell direct to customers and materially and adversely impact our operations and business.

***Changes in US or international trade policy, including the continuation or imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.***

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. government and its trading partners with respect to trade policies, tariffs, and similar policies affecting cross-border operations. The U.S. government has in the past and could in the future adopt a new approach to trade policy, renegotiate or terminate certain existing bilateral or multilateral trade agreements or impose tariffs on certain foreign goods, including steel and certain vehicle parts. For example, in January 2025, the global tariff landscape began to quickly change with the U.S. implementing tariffs on various foreign countries, either generally or with respect to certain products, and certain of those foreign countries implementing rebalancing tariffs on the U.S., either generally or with respect to certain products. In certain circumstances the U.S. and certain foreign countries temporarily suspended tariffs they had recently implemented, either in whole or in part. Since then, the U.S. has continued to impose tariffs on imported goods, and affected countries have responded by imposing tariffs on U.S. goods. The U.S. government recently escalated tariffs on the import of goods from most U.S. trading partners. For example, the United States has recently announced tariffs, certain of which have been temporarily suspended, on imported goods from most countries and select countries have announced retaliatory tariffs in response, contributing to volatility in the markets. China and the United States have each imposed tariffs, indicating the potential for further trade barriers which may escalate a nascent trade war between China and the United States. In addition, additional trade restrictions or barriers could be implemented on a broader range of products or raw materials with additional countries or regions such as China, Canada, Mexico, the European Union or other countries and / or regions. If we are unable to pass price increases on to our customer base or otherwise mitigate the costs, or if demand for our exported electric vehicles decreases due to the higher cost, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. The resulting environment of retaliatory trade or other practices could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results, customers, suppliers and the global economy.

***The strategic partnership with KYMCO Group, as well as relationships with STACYC's key vendors, could be negatively impacted by geopolitical events that might occur between mainland China and Taiwan.***

Our strategic partnership with KYMCO Group, as well as STACYC's relationships with its key vendors, may be negatively affected by the impact of geopolitical events and related actions that may occur between mainland China and Taiwan because KYMCO Group and STACYC's key vendors are based in Taiwan. In recent years, there have been political and trade tensions between mainland China and Taiwan, which have resulted in the implementation of trade barriers, including the use of economic sanctions and export control restrictions. Violations of these economic sanctions and export control restrictions can result in significant civil and criminal penalties. Additionally, if a trade war, tariff, physical or economic blockade, or war ensued and impacted access to or from the Taiwan or Chinese markets or workforce, we may face challenges in maintaining production plans or output, accessing the skilled labor necessary to manufacture our products without interruption, accessing and/or shipping our finished goods, work in progress, or other inventories located in Taiwan or otherwise experience significant disruptions in our business. Prolonged or increased use of trade barriers may result in a decrease in the growth of the global economy and electric vehicle industry and could cause turmoil in global markets. which could decrease demand for our products and services. Also, any increase in the use of economic sanctions or export control restrictions could impact our ability to continue supplying products and services to those customers and our customers' demand for our products and services. Further escalation of trade tensions, the increased use of economic sanctions or export control restrictions could negatively affect our strategic partnership with KYMCO Group or STACYC's relationships with its key vendors.

***We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws, and noncompliance with such laws can subject us to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.***

We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar laws and regulations in various jurisdictions in which we conduct or in the future may conduct activities, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 (the "U.K. Bribery Act"), and other anti-corruption laws and regulations. The FCPA and the U.K. Bribery Act prohibit us and our officers, directors, employees and business partners acting on our behalf, including agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing or providing anything of value to a "foreign official" for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. The FCPA also requires companies to make and keep books, records and accounts that accurately reflect transactions and dispositions of assets and to maintain a system of adequate internal accounting controls. The U.K. Bribery Act also prohibits non-governmental "commercial" bribery and soliciting or accepting bribes. A violation of these laws or regulations could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation. Our policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these regulations may not be sufficient and our directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, agents, and business partners could engage in improper conduct for which we may be held responsible.

Our business also must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, such as those administered and enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant sanctions authorities. Our global operations expose us to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, anti-corruption laws and economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations may expose us to reputational harm as well as significant penalties, including criminal fines, imprisonment, civil fines, disgorgement of profits, injunctions and debarment from government contracts, as well as other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive. Despite our compliance efforts and activities we cannot assure compliance by our employees or representatives for which we may be held responsible, and any such violation could materially adversely affect our reputation, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Non-compliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering or financial and economic sanctions laws could subject us to whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations and severe administrative, civil and criminal sanctions, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, changes in economic sanctions laws in the future could adversely impact our business and investments in our common stock.

------

***We are or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances or acquisitions.***

We may from time to time consider entering into strategic alliances, including joint ventures, minority equity investments or other transactions, with various third parties to further our business purpose. These alliances could subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information, with non-performance by the third party and with increased expenses in establishing new strategic alliances, any of which may materially and adversely affect our business. We may have limited ability to monitor or control the actions of these third parties, and to the extent any of these strategic third parties suffers negative publicity or harm to their reputation from events relating to their business, we may also suffer negative publicity or harm to our reputation by virtue of our association with any such third party.

When appropriate opportunities arise, we may acquire additional assets, products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to our existing business. In addition to possible stockholder approval, we may need approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the acquisitions and to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, which could result in increased delay and costs, and may disrupt our business strategy if we fail to do so. Furthermore, acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new assets and businesses into our own require significant attention from our management and could result in a diversion of resources from our existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our operations. Acquired assets or businesses may not generate the financial results we expect. Acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the occurrence of significant goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business. Moreover, the costs of identifying and consummating acquisitions may be significant.

***We are, and may in the future be, subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. If the outcomes of these proceedings are adverse to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

We are subject to various litigation matters from time to time, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law could be asserted against us by individuals, either individually or through class actions, by governmental entities in civil or criminal investigations and proceedings or by other entities. These claims could be asserted under a variety of laws, including but not limited to consumer finance laws, consumer protection laws, tort laws, environmental laws, intellectual property laws, privacy laws, labor and employment laws, securities laws and employee benefit laws. We may also become subject to allegations of discrimination or other similar misconduct, which, regardless of the ultimate outcome, may result in adverse publicity that could harm our brand, reputation and operations. Claims may also arise out of actual or alleged breaches of contract or other actual or alleged acts or omissions by or on behalf of us. These actions could expose us to adverse publicity and to substantial monetary damages and legal defense costs, injunctive relief and criminal and civil fines and penalties, including but not limited to suspension or revocation of licenses to conduct business. Even if we are successful in defending against legal claims, arbitration or litigation could result in substantial costs and demand on management resources. See "Business-Legal Proceedings."

***Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.***

We may be subject to taxes by the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax authorities. Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• allocation of expenses to and among different jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax effects of stock-based compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs related to intercompany restructurings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in tax laws, tax treaties, regulations or interpretations thereof; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lower than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory tax rates.

In addition, we may be subject to audits of our income, sales and other taxes by U.S. federal, state, and local and foreign taxing authorities. Outcomes from these audits could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

------

***Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers may materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.***

New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulation or ordinances could be enacted at any time, or interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us or our customers, any of which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In particular, presidential, congressional, state and local elections in the United States could result in significant changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, tax legislation, regulation and government policy directly affecting our business or indirectly affecting us because of impacts on our customers, suppliers and manufacturers. For example, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), enacted on July 4, 2025, significantly changed the U.S. tax landscape by implementing revisions to key business tax provisions, including the reinstatement of bonus depreciation deductions for acquisitions of qualified property, the restoration of EBITDA-based business interest expense limitation, the expansion of rules related to deductibility of executive compensation, and the implementation of changes relating to the computation of certain taxes in respect of non-U.S. activities. The initial impact of changes brought about by OBBBA does not have a material impact on our effective tax rate. The long-term effects on the results of operations and cash flows remain uncertain and could be significant. Additionally, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (the "OECD") has announced an accord commonly referred to as "Pillar Two" to set a minimum global corporate tax rate of 15%, which is being or may be implemented in many jurisdictions. The OECD is also issuing guidelines that are different, in some respects, than current international tax principles. If countries amend their tax laws to adopt all or part of the OECD guidelines, this may increase tax uncertainty and increase taxes that we are required to pay. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released a "side-by-side" package (the "SbS Package") that generally establishes an exemption for U.S. multinationals from the 15% global minimum tax. However, the implementation of the SbS Package depends on domestic legislation and regulation in OECD member countries and is subject to subsequent review. We cannot predict whether the U.S. Congress or any other governmental body, whether in the United States or in other jurisdictions, will enact new tax legislation (including increases to tax rates), whether the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority will issue new regulations or other guidance, whether the OECD or any other intergovernmental organization will publish any guidelines on global taxation or whether member states will implement such guidelines, nor can we predict what effect such legislation, regulations or international guidelines might have. To the extent that such changes have a negative impact on us, our suppliers, manufacturers or our customers, including as a result of related uncertainty, these changes may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

**Risks Related to the Common Stock and Warrants** 

***The price of our Common Stock may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your Common Stock at or above the price at which you purchased such stock, or at all.***

The market price for our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• trends and changes in consumer preferences in the industries in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in our industry or the economy as a whole and, in particular, in the consumer and advertising marketplaces;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our entry into new markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in our operating performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investors' perceptions of our prospects and the prospects of the businesses in which we participate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in quarterly revenue and operating results, as well as differences between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the public's response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announcements relating to litigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• guidance, if any, that we provide to the public, any changes in such guidance or our failure to meet such guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our Common Stock, our failure to meet such estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• downgrades in our credit ratings or the credit ratings of our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investor perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with our Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inclusion, exclusion or deletion of our stock from any trading indices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• future sales of our Common Stock by our officers, directors and significant stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• future sales of our Common Stock under the ATM Program;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other events or factors, including those resulting from system failures and disruptions, hurricanes, wars, acts of terrorism, other natural disasters or responses to such events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in accounting principles.

These and other factors may lower the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, our Common Stock may trade at prices significantly below the price at which you purchased such Common Stock.

In addition, the stock markets, including the NYSE, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.

Our stock price may be exposed to additional risks because our business became a public company through a "de-SPAC" transaction. There has been increased focus by government agencies on such transactions, and we expect that increased focus to continue, and we may be subject to increased scrutiny by the SEC and other government agencies on holders of our securities as a result, which could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

***If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud.***

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year. Additionally, once we cease to be an emerging growth company, our independent registered accounting firm will also be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in each Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. We may in the future identify material weaknesses or significant deficiencies that we may be unable to remedy before the requisite deadline for those reports. Our ability to comply with the annual internal control reporting requirements will depend on the effectiveness of our financial reporting and data systems and controls across our company. We expect these systems and controls to involve significant expenditures and to become increasingly complex as our business grows. To effectively manage this complexity, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. Any weaknesses or deficiencies or any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation or operation of these controls, could materially and negatively affect our operating results and cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, which could adversely affect our business and reduce our stock price.

***A market for our securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of its securities.***

The price of our securities may fluctuate significantly due to general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of our securities can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, its general business condition and the release of its financial reports. Additionally, if our securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, the NYSE for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of its securities may be more limited than if it were quoted or listed on the NYSE or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock adversely, then the price and trading volume of our Common Stock could decline.***

The trading market for our Common Stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade our Common Stock or our industry, or the common stock of any of our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our Common Stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts stops covering us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which, in turn, could cause our Common Stock price or trading volume to decline.

------

Additionally, any fluctuation in the credit rating of us or our subsidiaries may impact our ability to access debt markets in the future or increase our cost of future debt, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition, which in turn may adversely affect the trading price of shares of our Common Stock.

***Concentration of ownership among our existing directors, executive officers and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.***

Our principal stockholders, directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially own a significant amount of our Common Stock. Subject to any fiduciary duties owed to our other stockholders under Delaware law, these stockholders may be able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, and will have some control over our management and policies. Some of these persons or entities may have interests that are different from yours. For example, these stockholders may support proposals and actions with which you may disagree or which are not in your best interests. The concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control of us, or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce the price of our Common Stock.

In addition, these stockholders could use their voting influence to maintain our existing management and directors in office or support or reject other management and Board proposals that are subject to stockholder approval, such as amendments to our employee stock plans and approvals of significant financing transactions.

***We may acquire other businesses or form other joint ventures or make investments in other companies or technologies that could negatively affect our operating results, dilute our stockholders' ownership, increase our debt or cause us to incur significant expense.***

We may pursue acquisitions of businesses and assets. We also may pursue strategic alliances and additional joint ventures that leverage our technology and industry experience to expand our offerings or distribution. We have no experience with acquiring other companies and limited experience with forming strategic partnerships. We may not be able to find suitable partners or acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete such transactions on favorable terms, if at all. If we make any acquisitions, we may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into our existing business, and we could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions also could result in the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or future write-offs of intangible assets or goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Integration of an acquired company also may disrupt ongoing operations and require management resources that we would otherwise focus on developing our existing business. We may experience losses related to investments in other companies, which could have a material negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, technology license, strategic alliance or joint venture. To finance any acquisitions or joint ventures, we may choose to issue shares of our common stock as consideration, which would dilute the ownership of our stockholders. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. If the price of our common stock is low or volatile, we may not be able to acquire other companies or fund a joint venture project using our stock as consideration.

We also expect to continue to carry out internal strategic initiatives that we believe are necessary to grow our revenues and expand our business, both in the U.S. and abroad. For example, we have continued to invest in international expansion programs designed to increase our worldwide presence and take advantage of market expansion opportunities around the world. Although we believe our investments in these initiatives continue to be in the long-term best interests of LiveWire and our stockholders, there are no assurances that such initiatives will yield favorable results for us. Accordingly, if these initiatives are not successful, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If these risks materialize, our stock price could be materially adversely affected. Any dilution related to the issuance of our common stock as consideration for an acquisition or joint venture, difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses or unexpected penalties, liabilities or asset impairments in connection with such acquisitions or investments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

------

***We are a holding company with no business operations of our own and will depend on cash flow from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations.*** 

We are a holding company with no business operations of our own or material assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries. All of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we require dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries to meet cash requirements. The terms of any credit facility, including our Term Loan, may restrict our subsidiaries from paying dividends and otherwise transferring cash or other assets to us. See "*-The Term Loan contains covenants that may restrict our business and financing activities.*" If there is an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, our stockholders may have no right to proceed against their assets. Creditors of those subsidiaries will be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of those subsidiaries before we, as an equity holder, would be entitled to receive any distribution from that sale or disposal. If our subsidiaries are unable to pay dividends or make other payments to us when needed, we will be unable to satisfy our obligations.

***Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.***

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, under certain circumstances, any loan and security agreement and any future debt or preferred securities or future debt agreements we may enter may preclude us from paying dividends, including the Term Loan. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

***Our corporate documents and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of our Common Stock and warrants.***

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of the Board to issue one or more series of preferred stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at our annual meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain limitations on the ability of stockholders to act by written consent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the express authority of the Board to make, alter or repeal the bylaws.

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party's offer may be considered beneficial by many of our stockholders. As a result, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire. See "Description of Our Securities."

------

***We are an "emerging growth company" and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our Common Stock and warrants less attractive to investors.***

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may follow reduced disclosure requirements and do not have to make all of the disclosures that public companies that are not emerging growth companies do. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (a) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (b) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement; (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote of stockholders on executive compensation, stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved and having to disclose the ratio of the compensation of our chief executive officer to the median compensation of our employees.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards; and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions for emerging growth companies. We cannot predict whether investors will find our Common Stock or warrants less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock or warrants less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and warrants and our share and warrant price may be more volatile.

------

***Our certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders.***

The certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery (the "Chancery Court") of the State of Delaware (or, in the event the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) is the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (2) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of us to us or our stockholders; (3) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time); and (4) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article X of the certificate of incorporation provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. We intend to apply this exclusive forum provision to derivative actions or breach of fiduciary duty claims purportedly brought under the Exchange Act, which would be required to be filed in the federal district court for the District of Delaware. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that this provision is unenforceable, and to the extent it is enforceable, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of the certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

***You may only be able to exercise the public warrants on a "cashless basis" under certain circumstances, and if you do so, you will receive fewer shares of Common Stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.***

The Warrant Agreement provides that in the following circumstances holders of warrants who seek to exercise their warrants will not be permitted to do so for cash and will, instead, be required to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act: (i) if the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement; (ii) if we have so elected and the shares of Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of "covered securities" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act; and (iii) if we have so elected and we call the public warrants for redemption. If you exercise your public warrants on a cashless basis, you would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the "Fair Market Value" (as defined in the next sentence) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the Fair Market Value and (B) 0.361 per whole warrant. The "Fair Market Value" is the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock as reported for the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would receive fewer shares of Common Stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.

------

***We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may have an adverse effect on holders of Public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.***

Our warrants were issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision or (ii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement as the parties to the Warrant Agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the interests of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then-outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the rights of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder of public warrants if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or shares, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

***Our Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of the warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.***

This choice-of-forum provision may limit a warrant holder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results and could result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and the Board.

------

***We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.***

We have the ability to redeem outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant; provided that the last reported sale price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. We will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to (i) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefore at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of your warrants.

In addition, we have the ability to redeem the outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.10 per warrant if, among other things, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). In such a case, the holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption for a number of shares of Common Stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Common Stock. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (1) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (2) may not compensate the holders for the value of the warrants, including because the number of shares of Common Stock received is capped at 0.361 Common Stock per warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the warrants.

The private placement warrants will not be redeemable by us so long as (i) they are held by the initial purchasers of the private placement warrants or its permitted transferees and (ii) the reference value exceeds $18.00 per share.

***There is no guarantee that the exercise price of our warrants will ever be less than the trading price of our Common Stock on NYSE, and they may expire worthless. In addition, we may reduce the exercise price of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, and a reduction in exercise price of the warrants would decrease the maximum amount of cash proceeds we could receive upon the exercise in full of the warrants for cash.***

The exercise price for a warrant is $11.50 per share of Common Stock. On December 31, 2025, the closing price of our Common Stock was $4.42. If the price of our shares of Common Stock remains below $11.50 per share, which is the exercise price of our warrants, we believe our warrant holders will be unlikely to cash exercise their warrants, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us. There is no guarantee that our warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration in September 2027, and as such, our warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, at the current exercise price of $11.50 per share, we would receive up to $349.2 million from the exercise of the warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the warrants for cash. However, we may lower the exercise price of the warrants in accordance with Section 9.8 of the Warrant Agreement. We may effect such reduction in exercise price without the consent of warrant holders and such reduction would decrease the maximum amount of cash proceeds we would receive upon the exercise in full of the warrants for cash.

**General Risk Factors** 

***The obligations associated with being a public company involve significant expenses and require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.***

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Our entire management team and many of our other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance and maintaining the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company, which may divert management's attention from implementing our business strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition.

------

We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal control over financial reporting, including IT controls, and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. If we do not continue to develop and implement the right processes and tools to manage our changing enterprise and maintain our culture, our ability to compete successfully and achieve our business objectives could be impaired, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs will materially increase our general and administrative expenses.

These rules and regulations result in our incurring legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our Board, on our Board committees or as executive officers.

***As a public reporting company, we are subject to rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner.***

We are subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and NYSE. These rules and regulations require, among other things that we establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, as a public company, we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Reporting obligations as a public company are likely to place a considerable strain on our financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as on our personnel, and could lead to additional costs to comply with these rules and regulations.

***Our accounting and other management systems and resources may not be adequately prepared to meet the financial reporting and other requirements to which we are subject as a public company.***

In the past, our operations have been a part of H-D and H-D provided us with certain financial, operational and managerial resources for conducting our business. Following the Separation, while a number of these resources will continue to be at H-D and used to provide services to us under the Master Services Agreement, we now perform certain of our own financial, operational and managerial functions. There are no assurances that we will be able to successfully put in place the financial, operational and managerial resources necessary to perform these functions.

Our transition to being a public company has also subjected us to significant regulatory oversight and financial reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as well as the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal control over financial reporting required of public companies in the US. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the US may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base, hire additional employees, or rely on third-party advisors to support our operations as a public company which will increase our operating costs in future periods.

***Our facilities, and our suppliers' facilities, are vulnerable to disruption due to natural or man-made disasters, which could become more frequent and severe due to phenomena such as climate change.***

There is growing concern that a gradual increase in global average temperatures as a result of climate change may result in an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events or other natural disasters. Natural or man-made disasters, as well as chronic changes (such as changes to temperature and hydrological patterns), may disrupt the productivity of our facilities, the operation of our supply chain or impact demand for our products. In addition, the increasing concern over climate change may result in more local, regional, federal and global legal and regulatory requirements and could increase the costs to comply with such requirements that we incur in our operations.

***Our insurance coverage strategy may not be adequate to protect us from all business risks.***

------

We may be subject, in the ordinary course of business, to losses resulting from product liability, accidents, acts of God and other claims against us, for which we may have no insurance coverage. Our policies may include significant deductibles or self-insured retentions, policy limitations and exclusions, and we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future losses or claims against us. A loss that is uninsured or which exceeds policy limits may require us to pay substantial amounts, which may materially and negatively affect our financial condition and operating results.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity** 

*Risk Management Strategy*

We have implemented a cybersecurity program intended to assess, identify, manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. Through our partnership with Harley-Davidson, we maintain an IT incident response plan that is designed to protect against, identify, evaluate, respond to, and recover from an incident. The plan is designed to be flexible so it may be adapted to an array of potential scenarios and includes a cybersecurity incident response team in the event of a cyber incident. The incident response team is a cross-functional group that is composed of both Company and Harley-Davidson personnel and external service providers, and which is tailored to a particular incident so that individuals with appropriate experience and expertise are available. Currently, we contract for such cybersecurity services through the Master Services Agreement with Harley-Davidson, in addition to leveraging our own information technology and security tools and teams.

We have invested in tools and technologies intended to protect our data and business systems, and we monitor our computing environment on an ongoing basis to help identify and assess risk. In addition, we have implemented a cybersecurity training program designed to educate and train employees how to identify, potentially avoid and report cybersecurity threats. It is focused on helping our workforce recognize, avoid falling victim to and raise the visibility of potential cyber threats and scams. In addition, periodic cybersecurity awareness messages are communicated to employees as new threats and scams develop throughout the year. To reinforce these practices, routine phishing simulations are conducted across the organization to test employees awareness and provide targeted follow-up training, as needed.

Through the Master Services Agreement with Harley-Davidson, we take measures to regularly update and improve our cybersecurity program, including conducting assessments, performing penetration testing and scanning of our systems for vulnerabilities using external third-party tools and techniques to test security controls, auditing applicable data policies, and monitoring emerging laws and regulations related to information security. The program is designed based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. However, this does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications or requirements, only that we use the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as a guide to help us identify, assess and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. In addition, we periodically engage third-party advisors to assess the effectiveness of our cybersecurity program, policies and practices. We rely on Harley-Davidson to regularly consult with external advisors and cybersecurity providers regarding opportunities and enhancements to strengthen our policies and practices.

With respect to third-party service providers, our cybersecurity program includes conducting due diligence of relevant and material service providers' information security programs prior to onboarding. In general, we also contractually require material third-party service providers with access to our information technology systems, sensitive business data or personal information to implement and maintain reasonably appropriate security controls and to use our personal information only to provide services to us, except as required by law.

While we have experienced, and may in the future experience, cybersecurity incidents, prior incidents have not materially affected the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition. Although we have invested in the protection of our data and information technology and monitor our systems on an ongoing basis, there can be no assurance that such efforts will in the future prevent material compromises to our information technology systems that could have a material adverse effect on our business. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, which are incorporated by reference into this Item 1C.

*Governance*

Our Board of Directors has risk oversight responsibility for us and administers this responsibility both directly and with assistance from the Audit and Finance Committee, which periodically reports to the Board of Directors on its risk oversight

------

activities. Cybersecurity is a critical component of our overall risk management program. Our Board of Directors is actively involved in reviewing our information security and technology risks and opportunities (including cybersecurity) and discusses these topics on a regular basis.

The Audit and Finance Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, oversees our enterprise risk management program and assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility with respect to our information security and technology risks (including cybersecurity), which are included as part of our enterprise risk management systems. The Audit and Finance Committee reviews and discusses our information security and technology risks (such as cybersecurity), including our information security and risk management programs.

Our cybersecurity program is contracted through and led by Harley-Davidson's Chief Information Security (CISO), who is responsible for assessing and managing our data privacy function and information security and technology risks (including cybersecurity). In October 2025, the CISO left Harley-Davidson and the Chief Digital and Operations Officer assumed the responsibilities of acting CISO from October until his departure on December 31, 2025. Harley-Davidson's IT Security Manager is serving as acting CISO, executing all the responsibilities of the CISO, while Harley-Davidson conducts a search to fill the position. The Company's IT Security Manager has over 20 years of experience in Information Technology, including 13 years focused on cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, with leadership roles spanning Enterprise Security Architecture, Security Operations and Incident Response, Cybersecurity Engineering, and Application Security. This background includes developing and executing security strategies, managing incident prevention and response, and leading operational risk programs. The CISO reports to Harley-Davidson's Chief Legal, Compliance and Corporate Affairs Officer, who has been providing legal support to the Harley-Davidson's Corporate Information Security Office for over nine years.

The Harley-Davidson CISO meets regularly with the appropriate management to review and discuss our cybersecurity and other information technology risks and opportunities. Our cybersecurity incident response plan sets forth a security incident management and reporting protocol, with escalation timelines and responsibilities.

The Audit and Finance Committee receives periodic updates from the Harley-Davidson CISO or his designee on our cybersecurity program, including industry trends, the current state of our business systems, and any current known risks or concerns related thereto. The Audit and Finance Committee is involved in reviewing our information security and technology risks, including with respect to cybersecurity and reports on such matters to the Board as necessary, and at least annually.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings**

The Company from time to time may be subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, supplier, employee, environmental and other matters in the normal course of business. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. The Company, through H-D, also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and there are no material exposures to loss in excess of amounts accrued and insured for losses related to these matters. Refer to Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to consolidated financial statements.

**Stock Performance Graph**

The following information in this Item 5 is not deemed to be "soliciting material" or to be "filed" with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into such a filing. The SEC requires the Company to include a line graph presentation comparing cumulative five-year common stock returns, or in the case of LiveWire the Business Combination date, with a broad-based stock index and either a nationally recognized industry index or an index of peer companies selected by the Company. The Company has chosen to use the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Index as the broad-based index. The S&P 500 Index was chosen as the Company does not believe any other published industry or line-of-business index adequately represents the current operations of the Company. The graph assumes a beginning investment of $100 on September 26, 2022, the Business Combination date, and that all dividends are reinvested. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock nor do we anticipate paying any such cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

**Item 6. Selected Financial Data**

[Reserved]

**Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand LiveWire, our financial condition and results of operations, and our present business environment. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, particularly in "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" discussions.

**Overview**

LiveWire is an industry-leading all-electric vehicle brand with a mission to pioneer the rapidly growing two-wheel electric motorcycle space. The Company operates in two segments: Electric Motorcycles and STACYC.

The Electric Motorcycles segment sells electric motorcycles, related parts and accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets, while the STACYC segment sells electric balance bikes, electric bikes, related parts and accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets. The STACYC segment launched an adult pedal assist electric bike in the United States in March 2025.

Electric motorcycles are sold at wholesale to a network of Independent Retail Partners, at retail through a Company-owned dealership and through online sales. Prior to November 5, 2024, the Company's products were sold at retail through select international partners primarily in Europe. Electric balance bikes and electric bikes are sold at wholesale to independent dealers and independent distributors, as well as direct to customers online. As discussed below, on September 26, 2022 as part of the

------

Business Combination, the Company, which included LiveWire branded electric motorcycles and STACYC, became a separate, publicly traded company.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company initiated the "Twist & Go Promotion" offering temporary pricing incentives on its S2 electric motorcycles from August 28, 2025 to October 31, 2025, which resulted in increased sales volumes in the third quarter of 2025. In late October 2025, the promotion was extended by the Company through December 15, 2025.

LiveWire's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $75,114 thousand compared to $93,925 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. LiveWire's net losses reflect the early-stage nature of LiveWire's business including investments in product development as LiveWire continues to focus on technological innovation that it expects will support future products and growth.

The Electric Motorcycles segment operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $73,831 thousand, compared to an operating loss of $105,500 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to the Electric Motorcycles segment analysis below for further discussion.

The STACYC segment operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,653 thousand, as compared to operating loss of $4,856 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to the STACYC segment analysis below for further discussion.

In response to the market challenges facing the electric vehicle segment and the overall boarder powersports industry, the Company is continuing to focus on strategic expansion of its product offerings, including the planned production in the spring of 2026 of two new 125 cc-equivalent mini-motos, the S4 Honcho<sup>TM</sup> products, which are designed to expand access and affordability for riders globally. As the Company evaluates its long-term strategy and product offerings, it will continue to focus on cost savings to reduce cash usage while focusing on developing and producing profitable products to align with evolving customer preferences and broader electric vehicle adoption trends that will allow the Company to continue to reduce operating losses and fund its operations through profitability.

On August 22, 2025, LiveWire entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as agent (the "Agent"), under which LiveWire may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, an aggregate gross sale price of up to $50.0 million of shares of its common stock through the Agent (the "ATM Program"), pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-289699), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2025. LiveWire filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on August 22, 2025 in connection with the ATM Program.

**Business Combination**

On December 12, 2021, H-D entered into the Business Combination Agreement with ABIC, to effect the separation of its electric vehicle business. On September 16, 2022, the Business Combination was approved in an ABIC shareholder vote, and it closed on September 26, 2022.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of LiveWire issuing stock for the net assets of ABIC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded resulting from the Business Combination. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy LiveWire.

Upon closing of the Business Combination and PIPE Investments, the most significant change in the Company's future reported financial position and results was an increase in cash due to net proceeds received of approximately $293.7 million, including a $100.0 million investment from the Legacy LiveWire Equityholder and a $100.0 million investment from certain members of the KYMCO Group, through a PIPE. Additionally, the increase in cash reflects the amount of cash released from ABIC's trust account of $13.6 million (net of the SPAC share redemption amount) and the $100.0 million equity backstop (the "H-D Backstop Amount") provided by H-D in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

**2026 Outlook**

For 2026, LiveWire's focus is on the launch of its two new 125 cc-equivalent mini-motors, the S4 Honcho<sup>TM</sup> products, continued network expansion, cost savings and improvements, product innovation and development focused on profitable products, and continued growth of the STACYC segment.

Refer to Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the underlying basis used to prepare the consolidated financial statements.

**Key Business Metrics**

To analyze LiveWire's business performance, determine financial forecasts and help develop long-term strategic plans, management reviews the following key business metrics, which are important measures that represent the growth of the business:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales* – LiveWire defines Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of electric motorcycles sold by LiveWire to independent dealers for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales* – LiveWire defines Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of new electric motorcycles sold at retail by LiveWire through its Company-owned dealership, through online sales or direct to customers through select international partners for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales* – LiveWire defines Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of new electric motorcycles sold at retail by Independent Retail Partners. These unit sales do not generate revenues for LiveWire but generate revenues for individual retail partners. The data source for electric motorcycle retail sales figures is new sales warranty and registration information provided by Independent Retail Partners and compiled by LiveWire. LiveWire must rely on information that its Independent Retail Partners supply concerning new retail sales, and LiveWire does not regularly verify the information that its Independent Retail Partners supply. This information is subject to revision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales* – LiveWire defines Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the sum of Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales and Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Company-owned dealership* – Dealership owned and operated by LiveWire to sell electric motorcycles, related products, and services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Independent Retail Partners (Electric Motorcycles)* – Independent Retail Partners as used with Electric Motorcycles are dealers owned and operated by independent entities under contract with LiveWire to sell LiveWire electric motorcycles, related products and services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Electric Balance Bike and Electric Bike Unit Sales (STACYC)* – LiveWire defines Electric Balance Bike and Electric Bike Unit Sales as the number of electric balance bikes and pedal assist electric bikes sold by LiveWire for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Independent Retail Partners (STACYC)* – Independent Retail Partners as used with STACYC are independent entities under contract with STACYC to sell electric balance bikes, electric bikes and related products and services.

(1) In May 2025, STACYC moved to a distributor model in Canada whereby the previous independent retail partners are now contracted through STACYC's distributor.

The Electric Motorcycles retail partners shown above include those that have been contracted by LiveWire to sell LiveWire motorcycles. LiveWire intends to grow this network as it expands its distribution capabilities.

LiveWire believes these key business metrics provide useful information to help investors understand and evaluate LiveWire's business performance. Wholesale Motorcycle Unit shipments and Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales are key drivers of revenue and profit for the Electric Motorcycles segment. Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales made through both the Company-owned dealership and Independent Retail Partners are a key measure of consumer demand and market share for LiveWire's electric motorcycles. Total Electric Balance Bike and Electric Bike Unit Sales is a key driver of revenue and profit for STACYC.

Interest expense, related party, for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $255 thousand compared to zero for the year ended December 31, 2024. The expense is related to the Company borrowing $75.0 million from H-D under the Term Loan on December 15, 2025.

**Interest Income**

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.2 million compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily driven by the decrease in the Company's investment in money market funds during the year prior to the Company borrowing $75.0 million under the Term Loan on December 15, 2025. The investment in money market funds increased from $5.0 million at September 30, 2025 to $72.0 million at December 31, 2025 after the Company borrowed $75.0 million under the Term Loan. The investment in money market funds was $52.0 million at December 31, 2024.

**Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities**

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was loss of $352 thousand compared to income of $10,770 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss recognized of $352 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 was due to the increase in the estimated fair value of the warrants from December 31, 2024 related to fluctuations in the market price of the warrants. The income recognized of $10,770 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to the decrease in the estimated fair value of the warrants from December 31, 2023 related to fluctuations in the market price of the warrants. See Note 10, Warrant Liabilities, in the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

**Income Tax Provision**

The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $189 thousand compared to $43 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in the income tax provision in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by profits generated by the non-U.S. entities.

**Revenue**

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $2,317 thousand, or 27.6%, to $6,064 thousand from $8,381 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. While unit sales increased 7% in 2025 compared to 2024, the increase was offset by new incentives announced during the third quarter 2025, including the Twist & Go Promotion, resulting in decreases to revenue of $3,248 thousand related to unit sales in the year ended December 31, 2025 and $987 thousand related to previously recognized sales during the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by parts, accessories and apparel revenue increasing $636 thousand from $737 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1,373 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Cost of Goods Sold**

Cost of goods sold for the year December 31, 2025 decreased by $8,960 thousand, or 33.2%, to $18,058 thousand from $27,018 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a significant decrease of the number of motorcycles purchased in 2025 as compared to 2024 resulting in lower net realizable value adjustments, as well as the effect of motorcycles that were purchased in 2024 and sold in 2025 that were already written down to net realizable value resulting in lower cost of sales in 2025 relative to 2024. Additionally, cost of goods sold in 2025 decreased by $1,586 thousand from the impact of an unfavorable arbitration ruling related to a supplier claim that was recorded in 2024. This decrease was offset by increased depreciation expense of $1,390 thousand primarily from accelerated depreciation on certain tooling being replaced as part of the Company's cost reduction activities.

**Selling, Administrative and Engineering Expense**

Selling, administrative and engineering expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $25,026 thousand, or 28.8%, to $61,837 thousand from $86,863 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by cost reduction activities, including $13,571 thousand decrease in personnel costs primarily from headcount reductions in 2024, $3,739 thousand reduction in fees paid to H-D for services under the new master services arrangement, $1,309 thousand reduction in product development spending due to the relocation of the LiveWire Labs and the completion of two new models, Mulholland and Alpinista, in 2024, $1,231 thousand decrease in accelerated depreciation related to LiveWire Labs assets recorded in 2024, $1,092 thousand reduction in rent related to the movement of LiveWire Labs from California to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2024, and $797 thousand reduction in travel costs in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. These decreases were offset by an increase to warranty expense of $1,370 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company recorded $5,023 thousand of expense in the year ended December 31, 2024 related to employee termination benefits and other costs related to the move of LiveWire Labs from California to Wisconsin, as well as the Company's actions to streamline headcount. The Company also recognized a noncash reduction in stock compensation expense of $3,753 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2024 resulting from forfeitures of awards related to employees who terminated in the year ended December 31, 2024 resulting from these actions.

**Revenue**

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $1,356 thousand, or 7.4%, to $19,608 thousand from $18,252 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in revenue of $1,765 thousand was driven by a $2,351 thousand increase from higher volumes due to new products and new markets, and higher shipment volumes to our third party distributors, offset by a reduction in electric balance bikes and electric bikes revenue from lower product pricing and promotions of $586 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year December 31, 2024. The increase in electric balance bikes and electric bikes revenue was offset by a decrease of $409 thousand in parts, accessories and apparel revenue in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Cost of Goods Sold**

Cost of goods sold for the year December 31, 2025 decreased by $351 thousand, or 2.8%, to $12,047 thousand from $12,398 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024 and was primarily due to product mix and lower fulfillment costs.

**Selling, Administrative and Engineering Expense**

Selling, administrative and engineering expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $1,496 thousand, or 14.0%, to $9,214 thousand from $10,710 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower marketing expense of $943 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Results of Operations 2024 Compared to 2023**

Refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on February 21, 2025 with the SEC for a detailed discussion of the results of operations for 2024 compared to 2023.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, LiveWire's cash and cash equivalents were $82,777 thousand and $64,437 thousand, respectively.

As an early growth company, LiveWire does not expect to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next twelve months. Prior to the Business Combination, H-D supported LiveWire's operating, investing and financing activities. Following the Business Combination, LiveWire received net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, Warrant Liabilities.

------

In the event of the exercise of any Warrants for cash, LiveWire will receive the proceeds from such exercise. Assuming the exercise in full of all of Warrants for cash, LiveWire would receive an aggregate of approximately $349.2 million, but would not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. To the extent any of the Warrants are exercised on a "cashless basis," LiveWire will not receive any proceeds upon such exercise. LiveWire expects to use any proceeds it receives from Warrant exercises for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase its liquidity. LiveWire believes the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds LiveWire would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of its Common Stock. As of December 31, 2025, the reported sales price of Common Stock was $4.42 per share. If the trading price of Common Stock is less than the $11.50 exercise price per share of the Warrants, LiveWire expects that warrant holders will not exercise their Warrants. There is no guarantee the Warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless and LiveWire may receive no proceeds from the exercise of Warrants. As a result, LiveWire does not expect to rely on the cash exercise of Warrants to fund its operations and LiveWire does not believe that it needs such proceeds to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. LiveWire will continue to evaluate the probability of Warrant exercises and the merit of including potential cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants in its future liquidity projections. LiveWire instead currently expects to rely on the sources of funding described below, if available on reasonable terms or at all.

On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the "Convertible Term Loan") with H-D providing for term loans from H-D to the Company in one or more advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The Convertible Term Loan had a maturity date of the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of the first draw on the loan or (ii) October 31, 2026. The Convertible Term Loan contained a provision that provided for H-D to convert amounts outstanding to equity at the Maturity Date if, on the Maturity Date, H-D determined, acting reasonably and in good faith, that the Company does not have the financial wherewithal to repay all amounts outstanding.

On November 9, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") with H-D, which amended the Convertible Term Loan. The Term Loan provided the Company with access of up to $75.0 million to be drawn by the Company between November 17, 2025 and December 15, 2025. The maturity date of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan, including interest, is December 15, 2027 ("Term Loan Maturity Date"). The Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (defined as gross ATM proceeds less offering costs) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date. No other scheduled principal payments are required to be made on the Term Loan and the remaining principal balance must be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum, as calculated by H-D as of the date of funding of the Term Loan and as of each June 1 and December 1 thereafter, equal to the sum of (i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (i.e., the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate)) for a 6-month interest period, plus (ii) 4.00%. Interest is compounded on a semi-annual basis on May 31 and November 30 and is required to be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loan includes negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, make investments, make fundamental changes, make dividends or other restricted payments and enter into affiliate transactions. All of the obligations under the Term Loan are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On December 15, 2025, the Company borrowed $75.0 million under the Term Loan. As of December 31, 2025, there was $800 thousand presented as Current portion of term loan - related party, net, for the mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan due from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds and $74.2 million presented as Long-term portion of term loan - related party, net, on the consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $255 thousand in interest expense, which is presented in Interest expense, related party on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The amount due to H-D for interest as of December 31, 2025 of $255 thousand is presented in Other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The effective interest rate was 7.64% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company remained in compliance with all of the existing covenants as of December 31, 2025.

------

On August 22, 2025, LiveWire entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as agent (the "Agent"), under which LiveWire may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, an aggregate gross sale price of up to $50.0 million of shares of its common stock through the Agent (the "ATM Program"), pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-289699), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2025. LiveWire filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on August 22, 2025 in connection with the ATM Program. There were 448,171 shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program in the year ended December 31, 2025 for an aggregate offering price of $2,213 thousand. Additional sales under this program are subject to market demand, outside of management's control, and subject to approval by the H-D Board of Directors as we are a controlled company. As described above, the Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (as defined in the Term Loan) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Management continues to assess the Company's liquidity position and has the flexibility to adjust spending as needed through cost reduction initiatives in order to preserve liquidity. At the same time, the Company continues to explore additional means for raising capital to continue to support ongoing operations and future investments. Additionally, the Company continues to focus on the development of products that are profitable while reducing its use of cash. Based on its current plans and projections, the Company expects that its current resources will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company will require additional capital in order to continue to finance its operations and execute its business plan before eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the Company's product development and sales efforts, as well as timing and size of funds raised under the ATM Program or other financing vehicles.

LiveWire's material contractual operating cash commitments at December 31, 2025 relate to leases as discussed further in Note 9, Leases, in the consolidated financial statements. LiveWire estimates capital expenditures to be between $3 million and $8 million in 2026.

As a result of the Business Combination completed on September 26, 2022, LiveWire will be subject to certain payments in the event minimum purchase commitments under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement with H-D are not met beginning in the year 2027. The Company also has a liability of $6,080 thousand as of December 31, 2025 thousand for excess inventory components held by H-D that the Company expects to be obligated to reimburse H-D under the terms of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. Refer to Note 15, Related Party Transactions, for discussion of commitments with H-D.

**Cash Flow Activity** 

The following table presents condensed highlights from our consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash used by operating activities | $(53548) | $(93859) |
| Net cash used by investing activities | (3811) | (8068) |
| Net cash provided (used) by financing activities | 75735 | (1444) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (36) | (96) |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $18340 | $(103467) |

---

The overall increase in cash during the year ended December 31, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in net cash provided by financing activities, offset by a decrease in net cash used by operating activities. The overall decrease in cash during the year ended December 31, 2024 was due primarily to a decrease in net cash used by operating activities.

**Operating Activities**

The Company had net cash outflow from operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $40,311 thousand to $53,548 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $93,859 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net cash outflow from operating activities in 2025 was primarily driven by a reduction in net loss adjusted for non-cash items and favorable changes in inventory and accounts payable to related party offset by unfavorable changes in accounts receivable from related party and accounts payable and accrued liabilities compared to 2024.

------

**Investing Activities**

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $4,257 thousand to $3,811 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $8,068 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year ended December 31, 2024 reflected capital expenditures related to the Mulholland and Alpinista models, which did not recur in 2025.

**Financing Activities**

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $77,179 thousand to $75,735 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1,444 thousand net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024. The cash inflow was driven by borrowings under the Term Loan of $75.0 million and net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock in conjunction with the Company's ATM Program of $1,759 thousand, offset by the repurchase of common stock of $1,024 thousand to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2025. The cash outflow in the prior year is related to the repurchase of common stock of $1,444 thousand to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Commitments and Contingencies** 

The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, employee, environmental and other matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. Refer to Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies.

------

**Other Matters**

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates** 

LiveWire's financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Management believes that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of accounting policies that currently affect LiveWire's financial condition and results of operations.

**Revenue Recognition -** Revenue from the sale of LiveWire One electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, electric bikes, as well as parts and accessories and apparel are recorded when control is transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment to independent dealers and distributors or at the time of delivery to retail customers. S2 electric motorcycles contain two performance obligations, which is the sale of the electric motorcycle and a stand ready obligation to transfer Firmware Over The Air ("FOTA") software updates to the electric motorcycle, when-and-if available, to the customer. Revenue on the sale of the S2 electric motorcycle is recorded at a point-in-time when control is transferred to the customer. As the unspecified FOTA software updates to the S2 electric motorcycles are provided when-and-if they become available, revenue related to these updates is recognized ratably over the period the updates will be provided, estimated by management to be five years, commencing when control of the electric motorcycle is transferred to the customer. The standalone selling prices of performance obligations are estimated by considering costs to develop and deliver the good or service, third-party pricing of similar goods or services and other information that may be available. The Company allocates the transaction price among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of the Company's performance obligations.

**Goodwill** - Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets purchased. Goodwill is tested for impairment, based on financial data related to the reporting unit to which it has been assigned, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, limited to the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

For goodwill, the reporting units used in assessing impairment is the same as the Company's two operating segments and reportable segments as described in Note 16, Reportable Segments and Geographic Information. The Company's assessment for impairment of goodwill utilized a discounted cash flow analysis and a guideline public company market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit for comparison to the corresponding carrying value, and a reconciliation of the Company's concluded values for each reporting unit to the Company's market capitalization. The income approach is based on discounted future cash flows and requires significant assumptions, including estimates regarding future revenue, profitability, capital requirements and discount rates. Because the projections are estimated over a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainty. The market approach is based on market multiples and requires an estimate of appropriate multiples based on market data for comparable companies. The market valuation models, and other financial ratios used by the Company require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of those models to the Company's facts and circumstances. During 2025 and 2024, the Company tested its goodwill balances for impairment and no impairment charges were recorded to goodwill as a result of those impairment tests.

**Product Warranty and Recalls -** LiveWire provides a limited warranty on the new electric motorcycles for a period of two years, except for the battery which is covered for five years. LiveWire also provides limited warranties on parts and accessories, electric balance bikes, and electric bikes. Estimated warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale and are based primarily on historical LiveWire claim and industry information.

Additionally, LiveWire may from time-to-time initiate certain voluntary recall campaigns or field actions. The estimated costs associated with voluntary recalls or field actions are recorded when the liability is both probable and estimable. This generally occurs when LiveWire's management approves and commits to a recall or field action. The accrued cost of a recall or field action is based on an estimate of the cost to repair each affected vehicle and the number of vehicles expected to be repaired based on historical data concerning the percentage of affected customers that take advantage of recall or field action offers. In the case of both warranty and recall costs, as actual experience becomes available it is used to update the accruals.

The factors affecting actual warranty and recall or field action costs can be volatile. As a result, actual warranty claims experience and recall or field action costs may differ from estimates, which could lead to material changes in our accrued warranty and recall or field actions costs. LiveWire's warranty and recall or field action liabilities are discussed further in Note 12, Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns, in the consolidated financial statements.

------

**Valuation of Warrant Liabilities -** Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company assumed 30,499,990 warrants to purchase LiveWire's Common Stock, comprised of 19,999,990 public warrants, originally issued by ABIC as part of its IPO of units (the "Public Warrants") and 10,500,000 of outstanding warrants originally issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO of ABIC (the "Private Placement Warrants", collectively with the Public Warrants, the "Warrants"). LiveWire accounts for its Warrants assumed as part of the Business Combination in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, LiveWire classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Public Warrants is determined using the quoted market price as of the valuation date. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined by using the quoted market price of the Public Warrants as the Private Warrants have terms and provisions that impact the fair value assessment that are economically similar to those of the Public Warrants, including the exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. See Note 10, Warrant Liabilities, in the consolidated financial statements for more information concerning accounting for the Warrant liabilities.

**Emerging Growth Company Status** 

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("JOBS Act") exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.

LiveWire is an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare LiveWire's financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

**New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted**

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the consolidated financial statements.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

As of December 31, 2025, LiveWire's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $82,777 thousand. LiveWire manages its liquidity risk by effectively managing its working capital, capital expenditures and cash flows.

Financial instruments that potentially subject LiveWire to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. LiveWire limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations and requiring collateral to secure amounts owed to LiveWire by its customers, each when deemed necessary.

Inflationary factors, such as cost increases for logistics, manufacturing, raw materials and purchased components, may adversely affect LiveWire's operating results. Although LiveWire does not believe inflation has had a material impact on its financial condition given its lower production volumes, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on LiveWire's ability to maintain and increase its gross margin or decrease its operating expenses as a percentage of its revenues if the selling prices of its products do not increase as much or more than its increase in costs.

LiveWire is also exposed to possible disruption of supply or shortage of materials, including, but not limited to, lithium-ion battery cells and key semiconductor chip components necessary for electric vehicles, and any inability to purchase raw materials and components could negatively impact LiveWire's operations.

------

LiveWire sells its electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, electric bikes and related products internationally, and in most markets, those sales are made in the foreign country's local currency. As a result, LiveWire's operating results are affected by fluctuations in the values of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, however, the impact of such fluctuations on LiveWire's operations to date are not material given the majority of LiveWire's sales are currently in the U.S. LiveWire plans to expand its business and operations internationally and expects its exposure to currency rate risk to increase as it grows its international presence.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors

LiveWire Group, Inc.:

***Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LiveWire Group, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

***Basis for Opinion***

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement: (a) on September 23, 2022, ABIC migrated to and domesticated as a Delaware corporation ("Domesticated ABIC") (the "Domestication"), in connection with which all of the ABIC's (i) outstanding ordinary shares were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Domesticated ABIC, (ii) outstanding warrants were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into warrants to acquire one share each of common stock of Domesticated ABIC and (iii) outstanding units were canceled and instead entitle the holder thereof to, per unit, one share of common stock of Domesticated ABIC and one-half of one warrant of Domesticated ABIC; (b) on September 26, 2022, H-D and Legacy LiveWire consummated the separation of the Legacy LiveWire business and the other transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"), by and between H-D and Legacy LiveWire, dated as of September 26, 2022 (the "Separation"); (c) following the Domestication and immediately following the Separation, Merger Sub merged with and into Domesticated ABIC, with Domesticated ABIC surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of LiveWire (the "Merger"), and LiveWire continuing as the public company in the Merger, with each share of common stock of Domesticated ABIC being converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 ("Common Stock"); (d) immediately following the Merger, H-D caused all of the membership interests of Legacy LiveWire ("Legacy LiveWire Equity") held by ElectricSoul, LLC (the "Legacy LiveWire Equityholder"), a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of H-D, to be contributed to LiveWire in exchange for 161,000,000 shares of Common Stock and the right to receive up to an additional 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock in the future (the "Earn-Out Shares", and the transactions contemplated by this clause (d), collectively, the "Exchange"), and as a result of the Exchange, Legacy LiveWire became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of LiveWire; and (e) immediately following the consummation of the Exchange, LiveWire contributed 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Legacy LiveWire to Domesticated ABIC (clauses (a) through (e) collectively, the "Business Combination").

Holders of 36,597,112 of ABIC's Class A Ordinary Shares sold in its initial public offering (the "Initial Shares") properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from ABIC's initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which was approximately $10.06 per share, or $368.1 million in the aggregate.

An aggregate of $368.1 million was paid from the ABIC's trust account to holders who properly exercised their right to have their Initial Shares redeemed, and the remaining balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $34 million remained in the trust account and was used to fund the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, the AEA-Bridges Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), forfeited an aggregate of 2,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of ABIC in accordance with the Investor Support Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2021 (the "Investor Support Agreement"), by and among the Sponsor, LiveWire, ABIC, John Garcia, John Replogle and George Serafeim. The remaining Class B Ordinary Shares of ABIC held by the Sponsor automatically converted to 7,950,000 shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to investment agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd., KYMCO Capital Fund I Co., Ltd., SunBright Investment Co., Ltd., CycleLoop Co., Ltd. and Kwang Yang Holdings Limited (collectively, "KYMCO Group") agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 10,000,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million (the "KYMCO PIPE Investment").

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and an investment agreement entered into prior to the Closing, the Legacy LiveWire Equityholder agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 10,000,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million (the "Legacy LiveWire Equityholder PIPE Investment" and, together with the KYMCO PIPE Investment, the "PIPE Investments"). At the closing of the Business Combination, LiveWire consummated the PIPE Investments.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, H-D caused the Legacy LiveWire Equityholder to pay and deliver to LiveWire an amount in cash equal to $100.0 million, which is the H-D Backstop Amount (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "H-D Backstop Shares") at a purchase price of $10.00 per H-D Backstop Share. Additionally, H-D was reimbursed for $20.1 million of transaction costs and advisory fees incurred through a reduction of the proceeds provided.

In summary, the Business Combination resulted in net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million, which included: i) $100 million PIPE investment from H-D; ii) $100 million PIPE investment from KYMCO Group; iii) ABIC's remaining cash held in trust account and operating cash in aggregate of $13.8 million (net of the SPAC share redemption amount of $368.1 million and payment of transaction costs incurred by ABIC of $20.6 million); and iv) the $100 million H-D Backstop Amount pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and as a result of public shareholders exercising their redemption rights with respect to 36,597,112 shares of ABIC Class A common stock for $368.1 million in the aggregate, at a redemption price of approximately $10.06 per share. These proceeds were net of $20.1 million of transaction costs and advisory fees incurred by H-D. After giving effect to the business combination, the redemption of ABIC Class A common stock as described above, the issuance of the H-D Backstop Shares and the consummation of the PIPE Investments, were 202,402,888 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the closing date. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 10, Warrant Liabilities.

As discussed above, in connection with the Business Combination, H-D has the right to receive up to an additional 12,500,000 shares of the Company's Common stock as Earn-Out Shares upon the occurrence of certain triggering events: (i) a one-time issuance of 6,250,000 Earn Out Shares if the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of Common Stock is greater than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period; and (ii) a one-time issuance of 6,250,000 Earn Out Shares if the VWAP of Common Stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading-day period ((i) and (ii) each, a "Triggering Event"), in each case, during a period beginning 18 months from the Closing Date and expiring five years thereafter (the "Earn Out Period").

Additionally, if there is a change of control of the Company prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period that will result in the holders of Common Stock receiving a price per share equal to or in excess of the applicable share price of LiveWire in connection with a Triggering Event, then immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control, any Triggering Event that has not occurred will be deemed to have occurred, LiveWire will issue the applicable Earn Out Shares to H-D and H-D will be eligible to participate in such change of control.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded resulting from the Business Combination.

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. The Electric Motorcycles segment primarily focuses on the designing and selling of electric motorcycles and also sells motorcycle parts, accessories, and apparel. Electric Motorcycles are sold at wholesale to a network of independent dealers and at retail through a Company-owned dealership and through online sales. Prior to November 5, 2024, the Company's products were sold at retail through selected international partners primarily in Europe. The STACYC segment primarily focuses on the designing and selling of electric balance bikes, electric bikes, and related parts and accessories. The STACYC segment products are sold at wholesale to independent dealers and independent distributors, as well as direct to consumers online.

**ATM Program**

On August 18, 2025, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "2025 Shelf Registration Statement") with the SEC registering $100.0 million of its common stock, which the SEC declared effective on August 21, 2025. A Prospectus Supplement, inclusive of the 2025 Shelf Registration, was filed and became effective on August 22, 2025 under registration No. 333-289699. The Prospectus Supplement allows the Company to sell, from time to time and at its discretion, common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million pursuant to the Company's At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement ("Sales Agreement"), dated as of August 22, 2025, with Mizuho Securities, Inc. ("Mizuho"), as sales agent, under an at-the-market offering program ("ATM Program"). The Sales Agreement stipulates that the Company will pay Mizuho a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds of any shares of common stock sold to or through Mizuho pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company is required to repay up to $10.0 million of the amount borrowed under the Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") from net proceeds from sales of common stock issued under the ATM Program as described in Note 15. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from sales of common stock issued under the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, potential future investments. The timing of any sales and the number of shares sold will depend on a variety of factors to be determined and considered by the Company. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement.

There were 448,171 shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program in the year ended December 31, 2025 for an aggregate offering price of $2,213 thousand. Total offering costs and commissions related to the ATM Program for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $454 thousand, of which $72 thousand were offset against Additional-paid-in-capital. The remaining $382 thousand of unamortized issuance costs related to the ATM Program are included in Other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet and will be offset against Additional paid-in-capital on a ratable basis as additional proceeds are received under the ATM Program. Additionally, there were $86 thousand in expenses associated with maintaining the ATM Program included in Selling, administrative and engineering on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, $47.8 million in capacity remained available under the ATM Program.

**Basis of Presentation**

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") on the going concern basis of accounting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $82.8 million. As discussed above, the Company initiated an ATM Program on August 22, 2025, which allows the Company to sell, from time to time and at its discretion, common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. Through December 31, 2025, the Company raised net proceeds of $1.7 million under this program. Additional sales under this program are subject to market demand, outside of management's control, and subject to approval by the H-D Board of Directors as we are a controlled company. As described in Note 15, the Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (as defined in the Term Loan) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Management continues to assess the Company's liquidity position and has the flexibility to adjust spending as needed through cost reduction initiatives in order to preserve liquidity. At the same time, the Company continues to explore additional means for raising capital to continue to support ongoing operations and future investments. Additionally, the Company continues to focus on the development of products that are profitable while reducing its use of cash. Based on its current plans and projections, the Company expects that its current resources will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company will require additional capital in order to continue to finance its operations and execute its business plan before eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the Company's product development and sales efforts, as well as timing and size of funds raised under the ATM Program or other possible financing vehicles.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Principles of Consolidation* – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LiveWire Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany accounts and material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

*Foreign Currency -* The Company's international subsidiaries use their respective local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries have been translated at period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses have been translated using average exchange rates for the period. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is different from an entity's functional currency are remeasured from the transactional currency to the entity's functional currency on a monthly basis. The aggregate transaction gains and losses resulting from foreign currency remeasurements was $321 thousand gain, $206 thousand loss, and $97 thousand loss for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

*Use of Estimates –* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents* – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

*Concentrations of Credit Risk* – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. At times, the Company's cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition and generally do not require collateral. No single customer or customer group represented 10% or greater of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Accounts Receivable, net* – Accounts receivable primarily relate to sales of electric balance bikes and electric bikes to independent dealers and independent distributors, electric motorcycle sales to non-H-D dealers in the United States, and electric motorcycle sales in Europe, and are presented in Accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Payment terms from these customers range from 30 days to 364 days. The Company has elected the practical expedient available under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") that allows entities to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the entity expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

All sales of electric motorcycles and related products to independent H-D dealers in the U.S. and Canada are financed by the purchasing independent H-D dealers through Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. ("HDFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of H-D. Sales to online and retail customers may also be financed by HDFS. Amounts financed through HDFS, not yet remitted to the Company by HDFS, are generally settled within 30 days. Accounts receivable related to these sales are recorded in Accounts receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheets.

The provision for expected credit losses deducted from total accounts receivable was $214 thousand and $302 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's evaluation of the provision for expected credit losses includes a review to identify non-performing accounts which are evaluated individually. The remaining accounts receivable balances are evaluated in the aggregate based on an aging analysis. The provision for expected credit losses is based on factors including past loss experience, the value of collateral, and if applicable, reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Accounts receivables are written down once management determines that the specific customer does not have the ability to repay the balance in full.

*Inventories, net* – Total inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for electric motorcycles and related products and average costing method for electric balance bikes and electric bikes. The Company's determination of net realizable value considers the impact of sales incentives and excess and obsolete inventory based upon an assessment of historical trends, current market conditions and forecasted product demand.

------

*Property, Plant and Equipment, net* – Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of each class of property, plant and equipment generally consist of 7 years for leasehold improvements, 5 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and 3 to 7 years for tooling and software.

*Goodwill* – Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets purchased. Goodwill is tested for impairment, based on financial data related to the reporting unit to which it has been assigned, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, limited to the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. During 2025 and 2024, the Company tested its goodwill balances for impairment and no impairment charges were recorded to goodwill as a result of those impairment tests.

*Intangible Assets* – Intangible assets are comprised of trademarks, patents, distributor relationships, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefit of the intangible assets is consumed. Intangible assets are assessed for impairment when a triggering event occurs.

*Cloud Computing Arrangements* – The Company incurs costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by a third party vendor. Implementation costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis. The Company capitalized zero, $45 thousand, and $1,312 thousand of costs during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, to implement cloud computing arrangements. Capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs are included within Other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense totaled $1,005 thousand, $957 thousand, and $839 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and is presented within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

*Impairment of Long-Lived Assets* – The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, which consist of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and cloud computing arrangements, to be held and used when events and circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such events and circumstances include significant decreases in the market price for similar assets, significant adverse changes to the extent and manner in which the asset is used, an adverse change in legal factors or business climate, an accumulation of costs that exceed the estimated cost to acquire or develop a similar asset, and continuing losses that exceed forecasted costs. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable based on the existence of one or more of the above indicators, recoverability is determined by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. An impairment charge would then be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company also reviews the useful life of its long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the actual useful life may be shorter than originally estimated. In the event the actual useful life is deemed to be shorter than the original useful life, depreciation or amortization is adjusted prospectively so that the remaining book value is depreciated or amortized over the revised useful life.

*Research and Development Expenses* – Expenditures for research activities relating to product development are charged against income as incurred. Research and development expenses were $23,894 thousand, $41,742 thousand and $54,070 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and presented within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

*Advertising Costs* – The Company expenses the production cost of advertising the first time the advertising takes place within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Advertising costs relate to the Company's efforts to promote its products and brands through the use of media and other means. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $4,235 thousand, $5,226 thousand and $4,671 thousand in advertising costs, respectively.

------

*Income Taxes* – LiveWire's income taxes as presented are calculated on a separate tax return basis. LiveWire's U.S. operations have historically been and continue to be included in H-D's U.S. federal and state tax returns. LiveWire's non-U.S. entities file corporate income tax returns in their respective jurisdictions. LiveWire accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC740"). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and other loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. LiveWire reviews its deferred income tax asset valuation allowances on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or combined group recording the net deferred income tax asset is considered, along with any positive or negative evidence including tax law changes. Since future financial results and tax law may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to LiveWire's valuation allowances may be necessary. LiveWire has generated operating losses in each of the years presented, however, any hypothetical net operating loss attributes generated (and related valuation allowances) utilized by H-D are not recorded on the balance sheet.

*Warrant Liabilities* - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued share purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 480, *Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity* ("ASC 480") and ASC Topic 815, *Derivatives and Hedging* ("ASC 815"). The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, both further described in Note 10, Warrants Liabilities*,* in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the Public and Private Warrants (collectively, the "Warrants") do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

**New Accounting Standards** 

*Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The main provisions of ASU 2023-09 require a public entity to disclose on an annual basis (i) specific prescribed categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (iii) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (iv) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid, (v) income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (vi) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. ASU 2023-09 also removes certain disclosure requirements related to unrecognized tax benefits and cumulative unrecognized temporary differences. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2025, which resulted in additional disclosures in Note 5 Income Taxes related to the items described above. The guidance will be applied prospectively.

------

*Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted* 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which is intended to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of goods sold and selling, administrative and engineering expense). The main provisions of ASU 2024-03 require a public entity at each interim and annual reporting period to (i) disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion included in each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations, (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Clarifying the Effective Date, which is intended to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which is intended to reduce complexity related to estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract asset balances accounted for under Topic 606. The main provisions of ASU 2025-05 provide (i) a practical expedient that allows all entities to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses accounted for under Topic 606 and (ii) an accounting policy election available to entities other than public business entities which allows such entities that elect the practical expedient to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods. If elected, the amendments in ASU 2025-05 should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. The main provisions of ASU 2025-06 remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and require capitalization of software costs when both (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (the "probable-to-complete recognition threshold"). In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, consideration is given to whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software ("significant development uncertainty"). Significant development uncertainty considers whether (i) the software being developed has technological innovations or novel, unique, or unproven functions or features, and the uncertainty related to those technological innovations, functions, or features, if identified, that have not been resolved through coding and testing and (ii) a determination has been made regarding what the software needs to do (for example, functions or features), including whether the software's significant performance requirements have been identified or are being substantially revised. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an annual reporting period. Entities may apply the guidance using one of three transition approaches: prospective, modified, or retrospective. The prospective approach applies the new guidance to software costs incurred from the adoption date forward. The modified approach also applies prospectively but requires derecognition of certain in-process project costs through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The retrospective approach involves restating prior periods and adjusting retained earnings at the beginning of the first period presented. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

------

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which is intended to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarify when the guidance is applicable. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments add to Topic 270 a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The Board does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements, which were determined by prior Boards when the disclosure requirements were initially issued. Rather, the objective of the amendments is to provide clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods. If elected, the amendments in ASU 2025-11 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

**3. Revenue**

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Taxes that are collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Disaggregated revenue, net by major source was as follows for the years ended December 31, (in thousands):

Revenue from the sale of LiveWire One electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, electric bikes, as well as parts and accessories and apparel are recorded when control is transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment to independent dealers and distributors or at the time of delivery to retail customers. In March 2025, STACYC launched an adult pedal assist electric bike ("electric bike") that can operate with or without a battery. Currently, the electric bike is only sold with batteries and revenue related to both performance obligations is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, as discussed above. S2 electric motorcycles, being motorcycles produced from LiveWire's S2 platform using the Arrow Architecture model, contain two performance obligations, which is the sale of the electric motorcycle and a stand ready obligation to transfer Firmware Over The Air ("FOTA") software updates to the electric motorcycle, when-and-if available, to the customer. Revenue on the sale of the S2 electric motorcycles is recorded at a point-in-time when control is transferred to the customer. As the unspecified FOTA software updates to S2 electric motorcycles are provided when-and-if they become available, revenue related to these updates is recognized ratably over the period the updates will be provided, estimated by management to be five years, commencing when control of the electric motorcycle is transferred to the customer. The standalone selling prices of performance obligations are estimated by considering costs to develop and deliver the good or service, third-party pricing of similar goods or services and other information that may be available. The Company allocates the transaction price among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of the Company's performance obligations.

The Company offers sales incentive programs to independent dealers, distributors and retail customers designed to promote the sale of its products. The Company estimates its variable consideration related to its sales incentive programs using the expected value method. The Company accounts for consideration payable as part of its sales incentives as a reduction of revenue, which is accrued at the later of the date the related sale is recorded or the date the incentive program is both approved and communicated. Variable consideration related to sales incentives and rights to return is adjusted at the earliest of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes, or the consideration becomes fixed.

------

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company revised its retail partner strategy in the Electric Motorcycles segment and introduced new incentives with its retail partners. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company introduced additional incentives. As a result of the incentives in 2024, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $848 thousand of adjustments for variable consideration related to previously recognized sale. Adjustments for variable consideration related to previously recognized sales was not material for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In July 2025, the Company announced a new retail partner incentive program effective through December 31, 2025. In August 2025, the Company announced the "Twist & Go Promotion" offering temporary incentives from August 28, 2025 to October 31, 2025 on S2 electric motorcycles. In late October 2025, the Company approved and subsequently announced the extension of the Twist & Go Promotion through December 15, 2025. As a result of these incentives in 2025, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $987 thousand of adjustments for variable consideration related to previously recognized sales.

The Company offers the right to return eligible parts and accessories and apparel, electric balance bikes, electric bikes, and, in limited circumstances, on electric motorcycles. The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical trends and probability of returns and records revenue on the initial sale only in the amount that it expects to be entitled. The remaining consideration is deferred in a refund liability account. The refund liability is remeasured for changes in estimate at each reporting date with a corresponding adjustment to revenue. The Company records a refund asset at the carrying amount of the goods at the time of sale, less any expected costs to recover the goods and any expected reduction in value as a reduction to Cost of goods sold. This amount is monitored and adjusted for any impairment as necessary. The refund asset of $298 thousand and $377 thousand were included in Other current assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $326 thousand and $154 thousand of the refund liability were included in Accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The remainder of the refund liability as of December 31, 2024 of $252 thousand was recorded as an offset to Accounts payable to related party, in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, as this amount was repaid to Harley-Davidson Financial Services ("HDFS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of H-D.

Shipping and handling costs associated with freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs in Cost of goods sold. The Company accrues for the shipping and handling in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.

The Company offers standard, limited warranties on its electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, electric bikes, and parts and accessories. These warranties provide assurance that the product will function as expected and are not separate performance obligations. The Company accounts for estimated warranty costs as a liability when control of the product transfers to the customer.

**Contract Liabilities**

The Company maintains certain contract liability balances related to payments received at contract inception in advance of the Company's performance under the contract that generally relates to customer deposits for electric balance bikes, electric bikes, and electric motorcycles and consideration received upon transfer of control of the S2 motorcycles for FOTA software updates. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue once the Company performs under the contract. The current portion of contract liabilities of $662 thousand and $174 thousand were included in Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of contract liabilities of $410 thousand and $393 thousand were included in Other long-term liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company expects to recognize $410 thousand included in Other long-term liabilities over the next five years.

Previously deferred revenue recognized as revenue in 2025 and 2024 was $122 thousand and $125 thousand, respectively.

**4. Share-Based Awards**

*LiveWire Share-Based Awards*

Our long-term incentive plans provide for the grant of various forms of share-based awards to our directors, officers and other eligible employees under which our Board of Directors may grant to employees share-based awards including restricted stock units and performance share units. A maximum of 29,293,509 shares were authorized for awards under the long-term incentive plans.

------

The Company recognizes the cost of its share-based awards in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The cost of each share-based equity award is based on the grant date fair value and the cost of each share-based cash-settled award is based on the settlement date fair value. Share-based award expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service or performance periods of each separately vesting tranche within the awards. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. The expense recognized reflects the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest based on the service and, if applicable, performance requirements of each award. Total compensation expense related to LiveWire share-based awards was $4,951 thousand, $4,519 thousand, and $9,378 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

See separate discussion below related to historical H-D Share-Based Awards for description of awards and related expense.

*Restricted Stock Units - Settled in Stock and Cash*

Certain directors, executive officers and other eligible employees have been granted time-based restricted stock units (the "Time-Based RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units (the "Performance RSUs," collectively with the Time-Based RSUs, the "RSUs"). The Time-Based RSUs generally vest ratably over a three-year period, starting on the anniversary date of the grant. Time-Based RSUs for directors vest over a one-year period.

The Company recognized $5,578 thousand, $5,588 thousand and $7,305 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, in share-based compensation expense related to the Time-Based RSUs.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted Performance RSUs to certain executive officers and other eligible employees that vested at the end of a three-year performance period on December 2, 2025 contingent on the achievement of certain total shareholder return performance ("TSR") targets during the performance period. The grant date fair value of the Performance RSUs was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation. On December 2, 2025, based on the actual TSR performance against the targets, 5,050 shares vested and 46,476 shares were forfeited. The Company recognized a reduction in expense of $627 thousand and $1,069 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and recognized $2,073 thousand of share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 for the Performance RSUs. The reduction in expense in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is a result of the impact of forfeitures of $967 thousand and $2,150 thousand, respectively, related to employees who terminated during the years. There were no Performance RSUs granted in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Restricted Stock Units - Settled in Stock* – The fair value of the Time-Based RSUs settled in stock is determined based on the market price of the Company's stock on the grant date. The Performance RSUs settled in stock granted in 2022 contain TSR market conditions. The Company estimated the fair value of the TSR component using a Monte Carlo simulation. Expected volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of public companies similar to LiveWire Group, Inc. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the time of grant.

Assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the performance shares granted during 2022 were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **December 2022** |
| Expected volatility | 76.76% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.89% |

*Restricted Stock Units - Settled in Cash* – The current portion of Time-Based RSUs and Performance RSUs settled in cash are recorded in Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets until vested. The fair value is determined based on the market price of the Company's stock and is remeasured at each balance sheet date.

As of December 31, 2025, there was $7 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs settled in cash that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.98 years.

*Historical H-D Share-Based Awards*

Prior to consummation of the Business Combination, certain employees of the Company participated in H-D's share-based compensation plan under which H-D's Board of Directors may grant to employees share-based awards, including RSUs and performance shares. Prior to consummation of the Business Combination, as employees transferred from H-D to the Company, any outstanding share-based awards previously granted have been retained by the employees and have been transferred to the Company. Share-based compensation included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss includes expense attributable to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to the Company's employees. Total share-based award compensation expense recognized by the Company for the Historical H-D Share-Based Awards for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $6 thousand, $386 thousand and $1,119 thousand, respectively.

During 2022, the Company elected to cancel and convert outstanding RSUs held by 91 of the Company's employees into the right to receive cash payments (each, an "RSU Payment") on the date which the RSU award would otherwise become vested in accordance with the vesting schedule applied to such award immediately prior to cancellation of the award. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the accrued liability for the cash awards was $36 thousand and $271 thousand, respectively.

Each RSU Payment is a liability-classified award, which will (i) be in amount equal to (x) the number of shares of H-D's common stock subject to such RSU award that would have otherwise become vested on the applicable RSU vesting date in accordance with the applicable RSU vesting schedule, multiplied by (y) the closing trading price of a share of H-D's common stock on such RSU vesting date and (ii) be paid to the applicable employee of the Company on or within 30 days following the applicable RSU vesting date, subject to and conditioned upon such employee's continued employment or service as applicable, to the Company through the applicable vesting date.

Income tax provision differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the following items (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** | **Percentage** |
| United States Statutory Tax Rate | $(15734) | 21.00% |
| State and Local Income Taxes, Net of Federal Income Tax Effect | 4 | (0.01%) |
| Foreign Tax Effects | 17 | (0.02%) |
| Tax Credits | (488) | 0.65% |
| Changes in Valuation Allowances | 313 | (0.42%) |
| Nontaxable or Nondeductible items | 965 | (1.29%) |
| Other Adjustments |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unbenefited losses and credits | 15638 | (20.87%) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other | (526) | 0.70% |
| Effective Tax Rate | $189 | (0.25%) |

---

During the year ended December 31, 2025, state taxes in California, Minnesota, New York and Wisconsin made up the majority of the tax effect in this category.

------

As previously disclosed for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, the effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2024** | **2023** |
| Benefit at statutory rate | $(19715) | $(22989) |

The Company generated operating losses in each of the years presented. The income tax provision (benefit) recognized related to these losses was zero for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Operating results of the U.S. entities are included in the consolidated U.S. federal and combined state tax returns of H-D and these tax attributes have been fully utilized by H-D and are no longer available to the Company for future use. Future income tax provisions (benefits) may be impacted by future changes in the utilization of LiveWire attributes by H-D. The difference between the benefit at the statutory rate and the income tax provision (benefit) related to these operating losses is reflected in the table above as unbenefited losses.

After an assessment of the positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of the separate state NOLs reflected in the financials, it was determined a valuation allowance continues to be required on separate state NOLs. Additionally, it was necessary to assess the positive and negative evidence of the realizability of the U.S. federal and consolidated state net deferred tax asset balance remaining after H-D utilization of LiveWire attributes for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. After such an assessment, it was determined a valuation allowance continues to be required. The difference between the benefit at the statutory rate and the income tax provision (benefit) related to these valuation allowances is reflected in the table above as valuation allowance.

The Company's non-US entities generated both income tax and operating losses for a net income tax provision of $153 thousand, $12 thousand, and $7 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Non-US operating losses cannot be utilized by H-D, therefore a deferred tax asset was recorded. After assessment of the positive and negative evidence regarding realizability of the non-US deferred tax assets, it was determined the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized and no valuation allowance was recorded.

The principal components of the Company's deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, include the following (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Deferred tax assets: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capitalized research & experimental expenditures | $13929 | $14495 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accruals not yet tax deductible | 1749 | 1919 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock compensation | 933 | 1002 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net operating loss and credit carryforwards |  | 7 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;UNICAP | 138 | 138 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amortization, book in excess of tax | 1061 | 1051 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lease liability | 177 | 191 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred tax assets before valuation allowance | 17987 | 18803 |
| Less: Valuation allowance | (13605) | (13248) |
| Total deferred tax assets | 4382 | 5555 |
| Deferred tax liabilities: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depreciation, tax in excess of book | $(3563) | $(4863) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amortization, tax in excess of book | (765) | (620) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right-of-use asset | (197) | (183) |
| Total deferred liabilities | (4525) | (5666) |
| Net deferred tax liability | $(143) | $(111) |

---

The net deferred tax liability balance increased from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in the deferred tax liability balance related to tax basis amortizable goodwill that is not amortized for book purposes.

The tax operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, calculated on the separate return method for allocating tax expense, have been utilized by H-D in the consolidated tax return, and therefore are not available to the Company in future periods. Under the terms of the Company's Tax Matters Agreement with H-D, LiveWire will receive no compensation from H-D for the use of such attributes, but they may be used to offset any future liabilities that may be owed by LiveWire to H-D under the Tax Matters Agreement. In addition, these tax loss and credit carryforwards would not have been realized on a separate return basis. As a result, consistent with prior periods, neither the deferred tax assets nor the full valuation allowances have been recorded for these hypothetical attributes. For the period from the close of the Business Combination and effective date of the Tax Matters Agreement, the unrecorded tax net operating loss and tax credit carryforward, unbenefited by LiveWire, was $77,741 thousand.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax (benefit) provision. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company made $14 thousand in foreign income tax payments for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company made $7 thousand in foreign income tax payments for the year ended December 31, 2024 and did not make any income tax payments for the year ended December 31, 2023.

**6. Earnings Per Share** 

The Company computes earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC 260, *Earnings per Share*. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities. The Company applies the treasury method to calculate the dilution impact of share-based awards- restricted stock, performance share units, and warrants. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as all of the potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive in those periods.

Computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Net loss | $(75114) | $(93925) | $(109550) |
| Basic weighted-average shares outstanding | 203730 | 203206 | 202504 |
| Effect of dilutive securities – warrants |  |  |  |
| Effect of dilutive securities – employee stock compensation awards |  |  |  |
| Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding | 203730 | 203206 | 202504 |
| Earnings per share<sup>(1)</sup>: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic | $(0.37) | $(0.46) | $(0.54) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | $(0.37) | $(0.46) | $(0.54) |

---

(1) Earnings per share amounts are calculated discretely and, therefore, may not add up to the total due to rounding.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, to the extent dilutive, including unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"), unvested performance share units ("PSUs"), and Warrants (as defined in Note 10, Warrant Liabilities). Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or if the issuance of shares is contingent upon events that did not occur by the end of the period. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, 2,679 thousand, 1,377 thousand, and 2,617 thousand employee stock compensation plan awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, 30,365 thousand warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Company has not included the impact of the Earn-Out Shares, discussed in Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, in the calculation of EPS as the triggering events have not occurred.

The Company assesses for impairment of intangible assets with definite lives only if events occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events occur that indicate an asset may be impaired.

For goodwill, the reporting units used in assessing impairment are the same as the Company's two operating segments and reportable segments as described in Note 16, Reportable Segments and Geographic Information. The Company's assessment for impairment of goodwill utilized a discounted cash flow analysis and a guideline public company market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit for comparison to the corresponding carrying value, and a reconciliation of the Company's concluded values for each reporting unit to the Company's market capitalization. Based upon the Company's annual goodwill impairment analyses, the Company concluded there were no impairments to goodwill for any periods presented.

**9. Leases**

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception.

Right of Use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs and is reduced for lease incentives paid by the lessor. The discount rate used to determine the present value is generally H-D's incremental borrowing rate, as allowed under GAAP for subsidiaries, because the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable. The lease term used to calculate the ROU asset and lease liabilities includes periods covered by options to extend or terminate when the Company is reasonably certain the lease term will include these optional periods.

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, *Leases*, ("ASC 842") the Company elected the short-term lease practical expedient that allows entities to recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 842 allowing entities to not separate non-lease components from lease components, but instead account for such components as a single lease component for all leases except leases involving assets used in manufacturing and distribution processes.

------

The Company has operating lease arrangements for real estate. The Company's leases have a remaining lease term of approximately one to four years. The Company's leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

**10. Warrant Liabilities**

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company assumed 30,499,990 Warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock, comprised of 19,999,990 public warrants, originally issued by ABIC as part of ABIC's IPO of units (the "Public Warrants") and 10,500,000 of outstanding warrants originally issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO of ABIC (the "Private Placement Warrants", collectively with the Public Warrants, the "Warrants"). The Warrants expire five years from the completion of the Business Combination. There were 19,865,207 Public Warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and 10,500,000 Private Warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A Warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This means only a whole Warrant may be exercised at a given time by a Warrant holder. No fractional Warrants were issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants trade. The Company will receive the proceeds from the exercise of any warrants in cash. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

**Public Warrants**

*Redemption of Warrants when the price per Common Stock share equals or exceeds $18.00:* The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in whole and not in part;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if, and only if, the reported last sales price of the Company's Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

*Redemption of Warrants when the price per Common Stock share equals or exceeds $10.00:* Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in whole and not in part;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum 30 days' prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the agreed table, based on the redemption date and the "fair market value" of Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* if, and only if, the closing price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the closing price of the shares of Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Warrants, as described above.

**Private Placement Warrants**

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are similar to those of the Public Warrants, including as to the exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are (i) held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or its permitted transferees and (ii) the reference value exceeds $18.00 per share. The initial Private Placement Warrant purchasers, or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis if the reference value is between $10.00 and $18.00. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than AEA-Bridges Impact Sponsor, LLC (the "Sponsor") or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no redemptions or exercises of the Public or Private Warrants.

------

The Company recognized expense of $352 thousand and income of $10,770 thousand as a change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company determined the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders' equity and the fair value of the warrants should be classified as a liability. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's Warrant liability was $1,901 thousand and $1,549 thousand, respectively.

**11. Fair Value**

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include the Company's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall, were as follows as of December 31, (in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2025** | **2025** | **2025** |
| | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Assets: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Money market funds | $72000 | $— | $— | $72000 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Public Warrants | 1013 |  |  | 1013 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Private Placement Warrants |  | 536 |  | 536 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Share-based awards settled in cash | 269 |  |  | 269 |
|  | $1282 | $536 | $— | $1818 |

---

There were no significant assets or liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

**Recurring Fair Value Measurements**

*Money Market Funds*

Money market funds include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three or fewer months and are presented within Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. They are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified under Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

------

*Warrant Liabilities*

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 and are presented within Warrant liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within Change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Public Warrants are publicly traded under the symbol "LVWR WS" and the fair value of the Public Warrants at a specific date is determined by the closing price of the Public Warrants as of that date. As such, the Public Warrants are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined using the closing price of the Public Warrants as the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are economically similar to those of the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.

*Share-based awards settled in cash*

Share-based awards settled in cash represent grants of share-based awards that will be settled with employees in cash and are presented within Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. They are valued using the market price of the Company's and Harley-Davidson, Inc.'s stock and are remeasured at each balance sheet date and are classified under Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.

**Other Fair Value Measurements**

The fair value of financial instruments classified as Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, net, and Accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature and the relative liquidity of the instruments. The carrying value of the Term loan - related party, net, approximates the fair value.

**12. Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns**

The Company provides a limited warranty on new electric motorcycles for a period of two years, except for the battery which is covered for five years. The Company also provides limited warranties on parts and accessories, electric balance bikes, and electric bikes. The warranty coverage for the retail customer generally begins when the product is sold to the retail customer. The Company accrues future warranty claims at the time of sale by the Company using an estimated cost based primarily on historical Company claim information. In the case of both warranty and recall costs, as actual experience becomes available it is used to update the accruals.

Additionally, the Company may from time-to-time initiate certain voluntary recall campaigns. The Company records estimated recall costs when the liability is both probable and estimable. This generally occurs when the Company's management approves and commits to a recall. The warranty and recall liability are included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in the Company's warranty and recall liability were as follows as of December 31, (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Balance, beginning of period | $881 | $1011 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Warranties issued during the period | 1452 | 795 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Settlements made during the period | (1506) | (1035) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Recalls and changes to pre-existing warranty liabilities | 1189 | 110 |
| Balance, end of period | $2016 | $881 |

---

The liability for recall campaigns included in the above table was $29 thousand and $120 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

------

**13. Employee Benefit Plans**

*Defined Contribution Plans*

On March 1, 2022, the Company established a LiveWire 401(k) plan for the benefit of the Company's employees. The Company expensed $1,762 thousand, $2,230 thousand and $2,752 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to defined contribution benefits plans contributions.

**14. Commitments and Contingencies** 

*Contingencies* – The Company is subject to claims related to product and other commercial matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. Refer to Note 12, Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns, for a discussion of warranty and recall liabilities. The Company had no product liability claims as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Litigation and Other Claims* – The Company from time to time may be subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, supplier, employee, environmental and other matters in the normal course of business. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. The Company, through H-D, also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and there are no material exposures to loss in excess of amounts accrued and insured for losses related to these matters.

In December 2024, the Company received an unfavorable arbitration ruling related to the resolution of a claim from a supplier, which was recorded in Accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. As a result of the ruling, the Company paid $1,802 thousand to the supplier in the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company recorded $1,664 thousand of expense in Cost of Sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 related to this ruling.

**15. Related Party Transactions**

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a number of agreements with H-D to govern and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward pursuant to which the Company and/or H-D have continuing obligations to each other. All transactions with H-D subsequent to the Business Combination are considered related party transactions. Agreements that the Company entered into in connection with the Separation include:

*Transition Services Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement with H-D (the "Transition Services Agreement") pursuant to which H-D provided to us various services and support on a transitional basis to allow LiveWire to develop the capability to support ourselves or to engage a third-party provider to provide those services and support. The charges for the services were on a cost-plus basis (with a mark-up to reflect the management and administrative cost of providing the services). The services generally commenced on the date of the Separation and were intended to terminate between six and twelve months of the date of the Separation, with the option to extend or convert the services to longer term under the Master Service Agreement. All services under the Transition Services Agreement have either terminated or have been included in the Master Services Agreement executed on December 23, 2024 and effective on January 1, 2025 discussed below.

*Master Services Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a master services agreement with H-D pursuant to which H-D provided us with certain services that we did not yet have the capability to perform for ourselves, including services related to testing and development, product regulatory support, color materials, finishes, paint and graphics, technical publication, application support and maintenance, service desk support, warehousing support, safety investigation, and marketing vehicle and fleet center, as we may request from time to time. On December 23, 2024, we entered into a new Master Services Agreement (the "Master Services Agreement") with H-D. The Master Services Agreement became effective on January 1, 2025, and terminated the master services agreement, dated September 26, 2022, between LiveWire and H-D. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, H-D will continue to provide LiveWire with certain services that LiveWire determined would be better outsourced at this time, including services that support testing and development, product regulatory support, color materials, finishes, paint and graphics, technical publication, application support and maintenance, service desk support, warehousing support, and other corporate support services. The new Master Services Agreement incorporates a subset of support services previously provided under the now expired Transition Services Agreement including services where LiveWire utilizes H-D's subject matter experts for targeted guidance or allow LiveWire to leverage H-D's systems or equipment for cost savings purposes. The Master Services Agreement contemplates that each of the services shall be provided to LiveWire as detailed under the terms of the Master Services Agreement and the exhibit thereto or as set forth in a separate, mutually agreed upon letter agreement. The Master Services Agreement also provides that any service or project not contemplated by the Master Services Agreement will be set forth in a separate, mutually agreed upon side letter or letter agreement, and any fee for such service or project will be separate than the fee provided for in the Master Services Agreement. The Master Services Agreement has an initial term of seven years and will be renewable upon mutual agreement. The Master Services Agreement or any related letter agreement for additional services may be terminated by either party upon the other party's material, uncured breach. H-D may also terminate the agreement upon LiveWire's change of control or, at the end of a calendar year upon 180 days written notice, in the event that LiveWire failed to engage H-D to manufacture at least forty percent of LiveWire's production during that calendar year. The charges for the services will be a flat monthly fee representing cost plus a markup. A joint steering committee composed of senior executives and/or designees of each party will meet annually to formulate a forecast and plan for LiveWire's anticipated service needs, as well as adjust the monthly fee as appropriate, and will oversee the progress of the services and address any disputes.

*Contract Manufacturing Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement with H-D (the "Contract Manufacturing Agreement") pursuant to which H-D provides contract manufacturing and procurement services to us for the products in our LiveWire platform, as well as future anticipated platforms. H-D is our exclusive manufacturer for these platforms for five years from the date that H-D begins manufacturing the relevant platform (and five years from the Separation for the LiveWire platform). Following this exclusivity period, we may terminate the agreement for one or more products within the relevant platform upon two years notice, subject to payment of certain termination charges (which are intended to compensate H-D for its capital investment and other sunken costs). The Contract Manufacturing Agreement may also be terminated, in whole or part, by either party upon the other party's material, uncured breach, inability to perform its obligations for more than six months due to a force majeure event, bankruptcy or insolvency, or change of control. On February 14, 2024, the Contract Manufacturing Agreement was amended to extend the period of which H-D is the exclusive manufacturer from five years as described above to six years.

Beginning for calendar year 2027, LiveWire will be subject to a minimum annual volume commitment for each product and pay a deficit fee for failure to meet the minimum under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. The products that H-D manufactures for us are priced on a cost-plus basis, with a mark-up on H-D's cost for manufacturing the relevant product. An operational committee consisting of designated employees of each party will meet quarterly for administrative purposes, including for the review of changes to pricing, minimum volumes and other terms. H-D will procure, on our behalf, equipment and materials that are used in both H-D's and our products, and we will procure all other equipment and materials, as well as tooling, needed to manufacture the products.

*Joint Development Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, we entered into a Joint Development Agreement with H-D (the "Joint Development Agreement") pursuant to which the parties may agree to engage in joint development projects, which would be set forth in one or more mutually agreed project work statements. The Joint Development Agreement remains in effect until we and H-D mutually agree to terminate it and can be terminated earlier by either party upon the other party's material, uncured breach.

Under the Joint Development Agreement, H-D is required to notify us of any development projects for H-D's business that are primarily related to electric vehicles, and we have the right to make a proposal with respect to the joint development of such a project. The parties will discuss in good faith whether or not it is beneficial for the parties to enter into a joint development project with respect to such project. If H-D engages in any development projects that are primarily related to electric vehicles and fails to consult with us so that we can make a proposal with respect such potential project, then the intellectual property developed pursuant to such H-D development project will be owned and licensed in accordance with the default intellectual property terms of the agreement (described below). Unless we and H-D agree otherwise for a particular project, each party bears its own costs and expenses in connection with each project under the Joint Development Agreement.

Unless otherwise mutually agreed for a particular project under the Joint Development Agreement, we own project intellectual property relating exclusively to electric vehicles and H-D owns all other project intellectual property. Each party is granted a perpetual license to use the project intellectual property in connection with that party's products, which, for us, are limited to two-, three-, or four-wheeled electric vehicles, related parts and accessories and electric vehicle systems.

*Tax Matters Agreement*

On September 26, 2022, LiveWire entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with H-D (the "Tax Matters Agreement"). The Tax Matters Agreement sets forth the principles and responsibilities regarding the allocation of taxes, adjustments with respect to taxes, preparation of tax returns, tax audits and certain other tax matters that affect LiveWire and H-D in the event LiveWire or any of its subsidiaries become members of any of H-D's consolidated, combined, unitary and other similar groups for federal, state or local income tax purposes (or LiveWire has certain income, gain, loss and deduction included in the tax returns of such groups). LiveWire and its subsidiaries are currently members of H-D's consolidated, combined, unitary and other similar groups for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

------

With respect to U.S. federal income tax returns for any taxable period in which LiveWire (or any of its subsidiaries) are included in H-D's consolidated group for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of taxes to be paid by us is generally determined, subject to certain adjustments, as if LiveWire and each of its subsidiaries filed its own separate consolidated federal income tax return (LiveWire's "separate federal tax liability"). With respect to state and local income tax returns for any taxable period in which LiveWire or any of its subsidiaries are included in H-D's combined, consolidated or unitary group for state or local income tax purposes, the amount of taxes to be paid by LiveWire is determined, subject to certain adjustments using principles analogous to the principles used to compute LiveWire's separate federal tax liability, as if LiveWire and each of its subsidiaries included in such combined, consolidated or unitary group filed its own combined, consolidated or unitary group state or local income tax return.

LiveWire's inclusion in H-D's consolidated group may result in H-D utilizing certain tax attributes that LiveWire generates, including net operating losses, and LiveWire will receive no compensation from H-D for the use of such attributes, but they may be used to offset any future liabilities that may be owed by LiveWire to H-D under the Tax Matters Agreement.

The Tax Matters Agreement applies as of the closing of the Business Combination, which is the date that H-D's ownership of LiveWire met the applicable minimum threshold required to file either a combined return or a consolidated return and will remain in effect unless the parties agree in writing to terminate the agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of the Tax Matters Agreement, the agreement will continue in effect with respect to any payment or indemnification due for all taxable periods prior to the termination during which the Tax Matters Agreement was in effect.

*Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan* 

On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement with H-D providing for term loans from H-D to the Company in one or more advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The Convertible Term Loan had a maturity date of the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of the first draw on the loan or (ii) October 31, 2026. The Convertible Term Loan contained a provision that provided for H-D to convert amounts outstanding to equity at the Maturity Date if, on the Maturity Date, H-D determined, acting reasonably and in good faith, that the Company does not have the financial wherewithal to repay all amounts outstanding. The Company did not draw any amounts under the Convertible Term Loan.

On November 9, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") with H-D, which amended the Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Term Loan provided the Company with access of up to $75.0 million to be drawn by the Company between November 17, 2025 and December 15, 2025. The maturity date of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan, including interest, is December 15, 2027 ("Term Loan Maturity Date"). The Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (defined as gross ATM proceeds less offering costs) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date. No other scheduled principal payments are required to be made on the Term Loan and the remaining principal balance must be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum, as calculated by H-D as of the date of funding of the Term Loan and as of each June 1 and December 1 thereafter, equal to the sum of (i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (i.e., the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate)) for a 6-month interest period, plus (ii) 4.00%. Interest is compounded on a semi-annual basis on May 31 and November 30 and is required to be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loan includes negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, make investments, make fundamental changes, make dividends or other restricted payments and enter into affiliate transactions. All of the obligations under the Term Loan are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On December 15, 2025, the Company borrowed $75.0 million under the Term Loan. As of December 31, 2025, there was $800 thousand presented as Current portion of term loan - related party, net, for the mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan due from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds and $74.2 million presented as Long-term portion of term loan - related party, net, on the consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $255 thousand in interest expense, which is presented in Interest expense, related party on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The amount due to H-D for interest as of December 31, 2025 of $255 thousand is presented in Other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The effective interest rate was 7.64% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company remained in compliance with all of the existing covenants as of December 31, 2025.

*Other Transactions*

Sales of electric motorcycles and related products to independent dealers in the U.S. and Canada are primarily financed through Harley Davidson Financial Services ("HDFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of H-D; therefore, the Company's accounts receivable related to these sales are recorded in Accounts receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheets*.* Amounts financed through HDFS, not yet remitted to the Company by HDFS are generally settled within 30 days. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there is $564 thousand and $356 thousand, respectively, due from HDFS and other related receivables due from H-D, which is presented within Accounts receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheets.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded $51 thousand, $96 thousand, and $113 thousand, respectively, in related party sales between the Company and H-D with $36 thousand, $74 thousand, and $71 thousand, respectively, in Cost of goods sold. All sales were for the STACYC segment which sells electric balance bikes and electric bikes to H-D. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $21 thousand and $43 thousand, respectively, due from H-D, which is presented within Accounts receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheets.

On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with H-D to sublease a Product Development Center. The lease was terminated effective February 28, 2025. On August 28, 2023, the Company amended a lease agreement with H-D for office space to extend the term of the lease to a 12-month period, which expired on September 26, 2024 and was then renewed on a month-to-month basis and terminated effective January 31, 2025. On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into a lease agreement with H-D to sublease office space in California, which expires on October 31, 2027. These are classified as operating leases.

------

In conjunction with the relocation of LiveWire Labs from California, announced in 2024, the Company moved its equipment from LiveWire Labs to an H-D location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in September 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company began occupying a portion of the space in the H-D location, including operating certain of its equipment, and using a portion for office space. The Company and H-D finalized negotiations and executed a lease agreement related to this space on January 30, 2025. The Company recorded an ROU asset and ROU liability of $488 thousand and $456 thousand, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025, which were reduced for a $500 thousand lease incentive to be provided from H-D for tenant improvements. The initial term of the agreement is 60 months with a renewal option for another 60 months. As of the current date, the Company does not believe it is reasonably certain of exercising the renewal option and, therefore, the lease term is 60 months. This lease was amended effective September 26, 2025 to move the location of the office space and extend the timing of the lease incentive from 2025 to 2026 resulting in an increase to the current lease liability of $203 thousand and a decrease to long-term lease liability of $184 thousand.

These leases are classified as operating leases. As of December 31, 2025, the right of use assets included within Lease assets, short-term lease liabilities included within Current portion of lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities included within Long-term portion of lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets were $437 thousand, $206 thousand, and $131 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the right of use asset included within Lease assets, short-term lease liability included within Current portion of lease liabilities, and long-term lease liability included within Long-term portion of lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets were $82 thousand, $43 thousand, and $40 thousand, respectively. In addition, the Company incurred $261 thousand, $177 thousand, and $176 thousand, respectively, in rent expense during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, which is included within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

**16. Reportable Segments and Geographic Information**

The Company's reportable segments and significant segment expenses are determined based on how the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for the Company.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Company's CODM. Operating loss is the measure of profit and loss used by the CODM to assess performance and to decide how to allocate resources for each of the Company's reportable segments.

Operating loss is used to monitor actual results versus planned and prior period results for each segment based on their respective profitability objectives and business models. Operating loss is also used to allocate human and capital resources among the reportable segments. Additionally, operating loss is a key metric used to establish and pay variable compensation to employees at all levels.

The Company operates in two segments: Electric Motorcycles and STACYC. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

The Electric Motorcycles segment consists of the business activities related to the design and sales of electric motorcycles. The Electric Motorcycles segment also sells electric motorcycle parts, accessories, and apparel. The Company's products are sold at wholesale to a network of independent dealers and at retail through a Company-owned dealership and through online sales. Prior to November 5, 2024, the Company's products were sold at retail through select international partners primarily in Europe.

The STACYC segment consists of the business activities related to the design and sales of the STACYC brand of electric balance bikes for kids and an adult pedal assist electric bike that was introduced in March 2025. The STACYC segment also sells related parts, accessories, and apparel. STACYC products are sold in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, and other international markets. The STACYC segment products are sold through independent retail partners in the U.S. and Europe, including powersports dealers, H-D dealers, bicycle retailers and direct to customers online. In Canada, Australia and Europe, STACYC sells its products through independent distributors.

**17. Restructuring**

On April 24, 2024, the Company announced a plan ("April 2024 Plan") to both relocate the operations of LiveWire Labs, the Company's west coast product development facility, from Mountain View, California, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and streamline headcount at the Company. The Company believes this plan will enable synergies and optimize efficiencies in product development and simplify the Company's overall path to future profitability.

In conjunction with this plan, the Company recorded $3,043 thousand of employee termination benefits, primarily severance, during the year ended December 31, 2024 within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the Electric Motorcycle segment. Of this amount, $1,797 thousand related to one-time employee termination benefits recorded pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations ("ASC 420") and the remainder was related to existing contractual arrangements with employees recorded pursuant to ASC 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits ("ASC 712"). Additionally, the Company incurred $709 thousand of expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to employee relocation and equipment move costs in conjunction with these actions, which was recorded within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the Electric Motorcycles segment. As of December 31, 2025, there are no amounts remaining to be paid related to this reorganization. There are no other amounts expected to be incurred under this plan and all costs associated with this plan were recognized in the prior year.

In September 2024, continuing its focus on the Company's path to profitability and furthering its strategy, the Company executed a reorganization of its Sales and Marketing function and Product Development and Design function ("September 2024 reorganization"), including consolidating each of these functions under singular leadership and other headcount reductions. In conjunction with this reorganization, the Company recorded $1,271 thousand of employee termination benefits, primarily severance, for the year ended December 31, 2024. This amount was recorded within the Electric Motorcycles segment and presented within Selling, administrative and engineering on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Of this amount, $776 thousand related to one-time employee termination benefits recorded pursuant to ASC 420, and the remainder was related to existing contractual arrangements with employees recorded pursuant to ASC 712. As of December 31, 2025, there are no amounts remaining to be paid related to this reorganization. There are no other amounts expected to be incurred under this plan and all costs associated with this plan were recognized in the prior year.

The Company recognized a reduction in stock compensation expense of $3,753 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2024 resulting from forfeitures of awards related to employees who terminated during 2024 resulting from the above actions. The Company also recorded $863 thousand of accelerated depreciation related to LiveWire Labs leasehold improvements resulting from the move from Mountain View, California to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the year ended December 31, 2024. These amounts were recorded within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the Electric Motorcycles segment.

The following table displays a roll-forward of the restructuring liability recorded within the Company's consolidated balance sheets and the related cash flow activity (in thousands):

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures**

***Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures***

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principle Executive Officer) and Head Accounting Officer (Principal Financial Officer), evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures 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 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes are in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Head Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

***Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on management's evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

***Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm***

This Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 by the Company's registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter ended 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Item 9B. Other Information**

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, no director or Section 16 officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

## Exhibit 4.3

**Exhibit 4.3**

**DESCRIPTION OF OUR SECURITIES**

The following is a description of the capital stock of LiveWire Group, Inc. ("LiveWire," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our") and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "certificate of incorporation"), our amended and restated bylaws (the "bylaws") and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), as well as the terms of our Warrants (as defined below). This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, the warrant agreement, dated as of October 20, 2020 (the "Warrant Agreement"), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Certain terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), of which this Exhibit 4.3 is a part.

**General**

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes capital stock consisting of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had two classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"): Common Stock, and redeemable warrants (the "Warrants"), each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50.

We have no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. The following summary describes the material provisions of our capital stock.

**Common Stock**

***Dividend Rights***

Subject to applicable law and the rights and preferences of any holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of Common Stock, as such, is entitled to the payment of dividends on the Common Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company in accordance with applicable law.

***Voting Rights***

Except as otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or expressly required by law, each holder of Common Stock, as such, is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

***Liquidation***

Subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of any shares of any outstanding series of preferred stock, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of LiveWire, whether voluntary or involuntary, our funds and assets that may be legally distributed to our stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding Common Stock pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.

**Preferred Stock**

The Board has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences, and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of Common Stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or other corporate action.

------

**Warrants**

***Public Stockholders' Warrants***

Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the Warrant Agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a Warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This means only a whole Warrant may be exercised at a given time by a Warrant holder. No fractional Warrants were issued upon separation of the units and only whole Warrants trade. The Warrants will expire on September 26, 2027, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We are not be obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Warrant.

We filed with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, as a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if shares of Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. During any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants, warrant holders may exercise Warrants on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

*Redemption of Warrants when the price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00.*

We may redeem the outstanding Warrants (but not the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below)):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in whole and not in part;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant holder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if, and only if, the closing price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

We will not redeem the Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise their redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The redemption criteria for the Warrants discussed above was established to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the Warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions

------

are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the Warrants, each Warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or their Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

*Redemption of Warrants when the price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00.*

We may redeem the outstanding Warrants:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in whole and not in part;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the agreed table, based on the redemption date and the "fair market value" of Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if, and only if, the closing price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the closing price of the shares of Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Warrants, as described above.

The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of Common Stock that a warrant holder will receive upon exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the "fair market value" of the Common Stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their Warrants and such Warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per Warrant), determined based on volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock as reported during the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the Warrants, each as set forth in the table below.

The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant is adjusted as set forth below in the first three paragraphs discussing anti-dilution adjustments. The adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each Warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the Warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their Warrants for 0.277 shares of Common Stock for each whole Warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the Warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their Warrants for 0.298 shares of Common Stock for each whole Warrant. In no event will the Warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Common Stock per whole Warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the Warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any shares of Common Stock.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the Warrants are exercisable for a security other than the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised for such security. At such time as the Warrants become exercisable for a security other than the shares of Common Stock, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

*Redemption Procedures.*

*Holder Election to Limit Exercise*. A holder of a Warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person's affiliates), to the warrant agent's actual

------

knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

*Anti-dilution Adjustments*. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the "historical fair market value" will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) and (ii) one, minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, in determining the price payable for shares of Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) "historical fair market value" means the volume weighted average price of shares of Common Stock as reported during the 10 trading-day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other securities into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above or (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per-share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on shares of Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share.

If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of shares of Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the Warrant properly exercises the Warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the Warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the Warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the Warrants.

------

The Warrants are issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the Warrant Agreement to the description of the terms of the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement set forth in AEA-Bridges Impact Corp.'s prospectus for its initial public offering, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders.

The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock.

We have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the Warrant Agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

***Private Placement Warrants***

The AEA-Bridges Impact Sponsor, LLC (the "Sponsor") purchased 10,500,000 Private Placement Warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") at a price of $1.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $10,500,000 in the Private Placement. The Warrants received by the Sponsor upon the consummation of the Business Combination are not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees (except as otherwise set forth herein). The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Warrants, including as to the exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Warrants.

**Anti-takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws**

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give the Board the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.

***Special Meeting, Action by Written Consent and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals***

Unless otherwise required by law, and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, special meetings of our stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by or at the direction of (i) a majority of the Board, (ii) the chairperson of the Board, and (iii) so long as we qualify as a "controlled company" under Section 303A.00 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, by our Secretary at the request of any holder of at least a majority of the voting power of all of our the then outstanding shares of voting stock entitled to vote at an election of directors. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of a special meeting of stockholders, stating the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date fixed for the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

In addition, our bylaws require advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider the proposals specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered a timely written notice in proper form to our secretary, of the stockholder's intention to bring such business before the meeting.

These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting any stockholder actions, even if such actions are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.

------

***Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws***

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on amendments to a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws is required to approve such amendment, unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 and 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon as a class:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding LiveWire's preferred stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding the size, classification, appointment, removal and authority of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions prohibiting stockholder actions without a meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding the selection of certain forums for certain specified legal proceedings between LiveWire and its stockholders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provisions regarding the limited liability of directors of LiveWire.

Our bylaws may be amended or repealed (A) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board then in office (subject to any bylaw requiring the affirmative vote of a larger percentage of the members of the Board) or (B) without the approval of the Board, by the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 and 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of LiveWire entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

***Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute***

Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an "interested stockholder" and may not engage in certain "business combinations" with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock, unless:

1)the board of directors approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder;

2)the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans); or

3)the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law.

Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with that person's affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock.

Since we have not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, it applies to LiveWire. As a result, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an "interested stockholder" to effect various business combinations with LiveWire for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring LiveWire to negotiate in advance with the Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Board approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

------

**Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors**

The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws provide that we indemnify and hold harmless our directors, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended. In addition, the certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended.

The bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director officer, employee or agent of LiveWire, or is or was serving at the request of LiveWire as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not LiveWire could have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the directors' and officers' liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

**Exclusive Forum Provision**

The certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Chancery Court (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of LiveWire, (2) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of LiveWire to LiveWire or to LiveWire's stockholders, (3) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or the bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or (4) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the provisions of certificate of incorporation, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a "*Foreign Action*") in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder's counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder. We intends to apply our exclusive forum provision to derivative actions or breach of fiduciary duty claims purportedly brought under the Exchange Act, which would be required to be filed in the federal district court for the District of Delaware.

Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that this provision is unenforceable, and to the extent it is enforceable, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

**Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal and Payment**

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, our stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of LiveWire. Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

**Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent**

The transfer agent for Common Stock and warrant agent for the public warrants and Private Placement Warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

**Trading Symbol and Market**

Our Common Stock is listed on NYSE under the symbol "*LVWR,*" and our Warrants are listed on NYSE under the symbol "*LVWR WS.*"

## Exhibit 10.16

**LIVEWIRE GROUP, INC.** 

**Board of Director and Executive Officer**

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rationale</u>

The Board of Directors ("Board") of LiveWire Group, Inc. ("LiveWire") believes that a significant way to reinforce the link among the interests of Board Members, Executives Officers and Shareholders is to have Non-Employee Directors and Executive Officers own a certain amount of LiveWire securities or common stock. Management has recommended and the Board has approved the following formal minimum ownership requirements (the "Stock Ownership Requirements").

2.**<u>Stock Ownership Requirements</u>**

**<u>LiveWire Executive Officers</u>**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>Title</u>** | **<u>Multiple of Annual Salary</u>** |
| CEO | 5X |
| CFO | 3X |
| All other Executive Officers | 2X |

---

**<u>Members of the LiveWire Board of Directors</u>**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>Title</u>** | **<u>Multiple of Annual Retainer\*</u>** |
| Non-employee Director | 5X |
| | \* 'Additional Annual Retainer' excluded |

---

**3.<u>Implementation</u>**

All persons in roles listed in Section 2 of these guidelines will accumulate the minimum Stock Ownership Requirements in accordance with the chart below until the Stock Ownership Requirements are fully met in their fifth (5) year of service, as measured from either his or her initial stock grant after his or her election to the LiveWire Board of Directors or promotion to an Executive Officer Role (excluding any signing bonus). Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, shares held in 401(k) accounts, deferred Stock Units and shares of common stock directly held by the applicable individual count toward satisfying the guidelines.

For purposes of determining a Non-employee Director's compliance with the Stock Ownership Requirements, shares shall be valued on a per-share basis at the greater of (i) the fair market value on the date of measurement or (ii) the fair market value on the date such shares were granted. Shares sold by Directors are deemed sold on a first-in, first-out basis, and only shares remaining as of the measurement date are valued.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Executive or Non-Employee Director Year of Service** | **Yearly Stock Ownership Holding Requirement** |
| Year 1 | 0% |
| Year 2 | 25% |
| Year 3 | 50% |
| Year 4 | 75% |
| Year 5 | 100% |

---

------

If an Executive Officer or Non-Employee Director exceeds the applicable multiple of base salary or retainer requirement set forth in the Stock Ownership Requirements during any Year of Service, the Executive or Non-Employee Director may sell their shares provided that: (i) they otherwise remain in compliance with the applicable Yearly Stock Ownership Holding Requirement on the date of the sale; and (ii) the sale otherwise complies with applicable laws, Company policies, and related requirements.

An Executive Officer's compliance with these Guidelines will be reviewed annually by the Human Resources Committee (the "HR Committee"). Non-Employee Director compliance with these Guidelines will be reviewed annually by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Nominating Committee"). The HR Committee may, in its discretion, change these Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executive Officers. Any change to the Stock Ownership Guidelines that affects a Non-Employee Director must be approved by the Nominating Committee.

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exceptions/Exemptions</u>

If compliance with the Stock Ownership Guidelines would create severe hardship or prevent an Executive Officer or Non-Employee Director from complying with a court order (*e.g*., in the case of a divorce settlement), these Stock Ownership Guidelines may be modified or waived. Exemptions from the Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executives are subject to the discretion of the HR Committee, and exemptions for Non-Employee Directors are subject to the discretion of the Nominating Committee.

## Exhibit 10.17

Exhibit 10.17

**Live Wire Group, Inc.**

**<u>Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy</u>**

(Revised February 2024)

This Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the "Policy") has been developed to compensate members of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of LiveWire Group, Inc. (the "Company") who are not employees of the Company or any of its parents, affiliates, or subsidiaries and who are determined by the Board to be eligible to receive compensation under this Policy (each, an "Eligible Director") for their time, commitment and contributions to the Board. It is expected that each Eligible Director will attend all meetings of the Board and of its committees on which such Eligible Director serves. An Eligible Director must attend at least 75% of his/her Board and/or Committee meetings to receive full compensation as defined below. If an Eligible Director's attendance falls below such threshold, their compensation will be adjusted proportionately.

The cash and equity compensation described in this Policy shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically as set forth herein and without further action of the Board, to each Eligible Director who may be eligible to receive such cash or equity compensation hereunder, unless such Eligible Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company.

This Policy has been adopted by the Board effective as of February 14, 2023 (the "Effective Date") and shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Policy may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion. No Eligible Director shall have any rights hereunder, except with respect to equity awards granted hereunder.

**<u>Annual Retainer Fees for Eligible Directors</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a)<u>Annual Retainer</u>. Each Eligible Director shall be eligible to receive an annual retainer of $60,000 for service on the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b)<u>Additional Annual Retainers</u>. Eligible Directors shall be eligible to receive an additional annual retainer for service as lead director of the Board or on a committee of the Board, as applicable, and as set forth below:

⃝ Lead Director $20,000

⃝ Audit Finance Committee Members (non-Chair) $8,000

⃝ Audit Finance Committee Chair $10,000

⃝ Human Resources Committee Members (non-Chair) $5,000

⃝ Human Resources Committee Chair $7,500

⃝ Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee Members (non-Chair) $5,000

⃝ Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee Chair $6,500

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c)<u>Payment of Retainers</u>. The annual retainers set forth above will be earned on a quarterly calendar basis and will be paid quarterly in arrears within ten (10) business days after the end of each calendar quarter. In the event an Eligible Director does not serve as an Eligible Director, or in the applicable position(s) described in subsection (b) above, for a full quarterly period, the retainers set forth above will be prorated based on the actual number of days that such Eligible Director actually serves as an Eligible Director (or in such position(s), as applicable) and (i) if such Eligible Director commences service on the Board or a committee during such period, will be paid by the Company ten (10) business days following the first quarter after the Eligible Director's first Board or committee meeting, and (ii) if such Eligible Director ceases service on the Board or a committee during such period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d)<u>Election to be Paid in Stock</u>. Eligible Directors will be eligible to elect to receive all (but not less than all) of their annual retainers in restricted stock units ("RSUs") of Company common stock (with the number of shares of Company common stock determined based upon the amount of retainers elected to be paid in Company common stock and the fair market value of the common stock on the first business day after the Annual Meeting or the first business day after the Eligible Director's

------

first Board or committee meeting, as applicable). These RSUs shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company's 2022 Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (such plan, as may be amended from time to time, the "Equity Plan") and may be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements, including any exhibits thereto, in substantially the forms approved by the Board prior to or in connection with such grants. Such shares will vest one year upon receipt except as set forth herein. Unless otherwise requested in writing by an Eligible Director in accordance with applicable election procedures established by the Board, the retainers set forth above will be paid in cash. In the event an Eligible Director chooses such election to be paid in stock and does not serve as an Eligible Director for the entire year, such RSUs will be prorated based on the number of days actually served since the Annual Meeting and such shares will become immediately vested.

**<u>Equity Compensation for Eligible Directors</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a)<u>General</u>. Eligible Directors shall be granted the Annual Awards described below. The Annual Awards described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company's 2022 Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (such plan, as may be amended from time to time, the "Equity Plan") and may be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements, including any exhibits thereto, in substantially the forms approved by the Board prior to or in connection with such grants. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Policy as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of Annual Awards hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Equity Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b)<u>Annual Awards</u>. Commencing with the Annual Meeting occurring during a calendar year , each Eligible Director who is serving on the Board as of the date of the Annual Meeting and who will continue to serve on the Board immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be automatically granted an equity award (an "Annual Award") in the form of RSUs, with the number of RSUs subject to each Annual Award determined by dividing (i) $125,000 by (ii) the closing trading price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, rounded up to the nearest whole RSU. Each Annual Award shall vest in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the one-year anniversary of the applicable grant date and (y) the date of the next Annual Meeting following the grant date, subject to the applicable Eligible Director's continued service on the Board through the applicable vesting date (for clarity, in the case of the foregoing clause (y), regardless of whether the Eligible Director is re-elected at such Annual Meeting (if up for election at such Annual Meeting)). In the event an Eligible Director chooses such election to be paid in stock and does not serve as an Eligible Director for the entire year, such Annual Award will be prorated based on the number of days actually served since the Annual Meeting and such shares will become immediately vested. If an Eligible Director is appointed at a time other than at the Annual Meeting, the number of RSUs will be pro-rated based upon the actual appointment date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c)<u>Change in Control</u>. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), all then-outstanding Annual Awards held by each Eligible Director will vest in full (to the extent then-unvested) immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control, provided that the Eligible Director continues in service on the Board until immediately prior to such Change in Control. 

**<u>Additional Compensation for and Payments to Eligible Directors</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a)<u>Clothing Allowance</u>. Each Eligible Director shall receive an annual clothing allowance of $500 to purchase Company apparel and accessories, to the extent such purchases are substantiated in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company as in effect from time to time. Such Eligible Director agrees to disclose any such purchases on the annual Director and Officer Questionnaire.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b)<u>Discount on Company Products</u>. Each Eligible Director shall receive the same discount on Company products that is available to all Company employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c)<u>Expenses</u>. The Company will reimburse reasonable travel and related business expenses that an Eligible Director incurs for attendance at all meetings of the Board and applicable meetings of

------

committees of the Board and in connection with other Board or Company business, to the extent incurred and substantiated in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company as in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d)<u>Motorcycle Usage</u>. The Company may provide an Eligible Director with the use of a motorcycle for a limited amount of time where doing so may further a Company business objective.

**<u>Compensation Limits</u>**

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, all compensation payable under this Policy will be subject to any limits on the maximum amount of non-employee Director compensation set forth in the Equity Plan, as in effect from time to time.

Effective **[Grant Date]** (the "Grant Date"), you have been granted Restricted Stock Units with respect to **[Number of Shares Granted]** shares of common stock of LiveWire Group, Inc. ("LiveWire") under LiveWire's 2022 Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan").

Subject to accelerated vesting and forfeiture as described in Exhibit A, a portion of the Restricted Stock Units (Restricted Stock Units with the same scheduled vesting date are referred to as a "Tranche") shall vest in accordance with the following schedule:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Restricted Stock Units Tranche | Vesting Date |
| One-third of the Restricted Stock Units (Tranche #1) | The first anniversary of the Grant Date |
| An additional one-third of the Restricted Stock Units (Tranche #2) | The second anniversary of the Grant Date |
| The final one-third of the Restricted Stock Units (Tranche #3) | The third anniversary of the Grant Date |

---

If application of the above schedule on the first vesting date or the second vesting date would produce vesting in a fraction of a Restricted Stock Unit, then the number of Restricted Stock Units that become vested on that vesting date shall be rounded down to the next lower whole number of Restricted Stock Units, and the fractional Restricted Stock Unit shall be carried forward into the next Tranche of Restricted Stock Units.

You may not sell, transfer or otherwise convey an interest in or pledge any of your Restricted Stock Units.

The Restricted Stock Units are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement including Exhibit A. Additional provisions regarding your Restricted Stock Units and definitions of capitalized terms used and not defined in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement can be found in the Plan.

**Exhibit A to Restricted Stock Unit Agreement**

**Definition of Company:** "Company" or "the Company" means LiveWire and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates engaged in the development, manufacture, procurement, marketing, financing, or selling of two- or three-wheeled motorcycles; motorcycle parts, accessories, and clothing; or other motorcycle-related or motorcycle brand-identified products or services including financial services.

**Termination of Employment:**

(1) If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than death or Disability, then you will forfeit any Restricted Stock Units that are not vested as of the date your employment is terminated.

(2) If you cease to be employed by the Company by reason of death or Disability, then, effective immediately prior to the time of cessation of employment, a portion of the unvested Restricted Stock Units in each Tranche will vest, which portion will be equal to the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units in that Tranche multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Months (counting a partial Month as a full Month) from the Grant Date until the date your employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, and the denominator of which is the number of Months from the Grant Date to the applicable anniversary of the Grant Date on which such Tranche would otherwise have vested if your employment had continued, and you will forfeit the remaining Restricted Stock Units that are not vested. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Month" shall mean the period that begins on the first calendar day after the Grant Date or the applicable anniversary of the Grant Date that occurs in each calendar month and ends on the anniversary of the Grant Date that occurs in the following calendar month.

**Voting Rights and Dividends:** You are not entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying your Restricted Stock Units.

(1) During the time period from the date of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement through the date that is one year after the last day of your employment with the Company, regardless of whether your termination of employment is voluntary or involuntary or the reason therefor, you shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information except for the benefit of the Company in the course of your employment by the Company and shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information in competition with or to the detriment of the Company, or for your benefit or the benefit of anyone else other than the Company.

(2) During the time period from the date of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and for so long thereafter as such information is not generally known to, and not readily ascertainable by proper means to, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, you will maintain all Trade Secrets to which you have received access while employed by the Company as confidential and as the property of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Company's remedies with respect to your unauthorized use and/or disclosure of Trade Secrets. You understand and acknowledge that you are hereby being provided notice that under the 2016 Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA): (i) No individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret (as defined under the DTSA) that: (1) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and (ii) An individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order.

(3) Upon termination of your employment with the Company, you will turn over immediately to the Company all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets (including all paper and electronic copies), and you shall retain no copies thereof. You shall attend an exit interview at or around the time of termination and sign a written statement certifying your compliance with the terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including, but not limited to, this confidentiality provision, does <u>not</u> restrict or prevent you from filing a charge or complaint with or from participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal, state, or local agency charged with the enforcement of any laws, including providing documents or other information, or exercising your rights under Section 7 of the NLRA to engage in protected, concerted activity with other employees.

**Competitive Employment:** During the time period from the date of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement through the date that is one year after the last day of your employment with the Company, regardless of whether your termination of employment is voluntary or involuntary or the reason therefor, you shall not substantially participate in, supervise, or manage, any activities or services, which are the same as, or substantially similar in function or purpose to, those you performed for the Company during the last twelve (12) months of your employment, or that are likely to result in the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, for any Competitive Business in the Prohibited Territory. This restriction applies whether Employee is engaged to substantially participate in, supervise, or manage such activities or services as an employee, independent contractor, or consultant under the terms of any agreement, whether verbal, implied, or written.

**No Solicitation of Certain Employees:** During the time period from the date of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement through the date that is one year after the last day of your employment with the Company, regardless of whether the termination of your employment is voluntary or involuntary or the reason therefor, you shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or assist in any manner in the solicitation or inducement of any employee of the Company who was subject to your direct supervision or about whom you received any Confidential Information, in either event during any part of the last year of your employment with the Company, to accept any employment, consulting, contracting or other confidential relationship with a Competitive Business. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that such solicitation will disrupt, damage, impair, and

------

interfere with the Company's business and have a substantial negative impact on the Company's ability to compete.

**No Solicitation of Certain Customers:** During the time period from the date of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement through the date that is one year after the last day of your employment with the Company, regardless of whether the termination of your employment is voluntary or involuntary or the reason therefor, you shall not on behalf of or in connection with any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or assist in any manner in the solicitation or inducement of any customer, distributor or dealer of the Company's products or services to terminate its relationship with the Company or to purchase or deal in products or services competitive with the Company's products or services, if you had any material contact with or learned any Confidential Information about the customer, distributor or dealer, in either event through performance of your job duties and responsibilities or through otherwise performing services on behalf of the Company during any part of the last two years of your employment with the Company.

**Acknowledgments:** You acknowledge and agree that (a) the restrictions and obligations set forth in and imposed by this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement will not prevent you from obtaining gainful employment in the your field of expertise or cause you undue hardship; and (b) the restrictions and obligations imposed by this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement are supported by valuable consideration, specifically the grant of the Restricted Stock Units.

**Equitable Relief:** You acknowledge: (a) the Company will suffer irreparable injury in the event of your breach or threatened breach of your obligations in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, (b) monetary damages for such breach or threatened breach would not be readily calculable, and (c) the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law therefor. Consequently, you acknowledge, consent, and agree that in the event of such breach, or threatened breach, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal remedies and damages available, to (y) specific performance, and to temporary and permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to restrain the violation or threatened violation of such obligations by you and persons acting for or in connection with you, and (z) recovery of all reasonable sums and costs, including attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, expenses and costs incurred by the Company in seeking to enforce the provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

**Termination of Employment:** 

(1) If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than death or Disability, then you will forfeit any Restricted Stock Units that are not vested as of the date your employment is terminated.

(2) If you cease to be employed by the Company by reason of death or Disability, then, effective immediately prior to the time of cessation of employment, a portion of the unvested Restricted Stock Units in each Tranche will vest, which portion will be equal to the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units in that Tranche multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Months (counting a partial Month as a full Month) from the Grant Date until the date your employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, and the denominator of which is the number of Months from the Grant Date to the applicable anniversary of the Grant Date on which such Tranche would otherwise have vested if your employment had continued, and you will forfeit the remaining Restricted Stock Units that are not vested. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Month" shall mean the period that begins on the first calendar day after the Grant Date or the applicable anniversary of the Grant Date that occurs in each calendar month and ends on the anniversary of the Grant Date that occurs in the following calendar month.

**Voting Rights and Dividends:** You are not entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying your Restricted Stock Units. You will be credited with cash amounts equivalent to any dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Shares underlying your Restricted Stock Units, so long as the applicable record date occurs before you forfeit such Restricted Stock Units, and such dividend equivalents will remain subject to the same risk of forfeiture and other terms as, and be paid at the time of settlement of, the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which they were credited. If, however, any dividends or distributions with respect to the Shares underlying your Restricted Stock Units are paid in Shares rather than cash, you will be credited with additional Restricted Stock Units equal to the number of shares that you would have received had your Restricted Stock Units been actual Shares, and such Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same risk of forfeiture and other terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement as are the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which they were credited. Amounts credited to you in the form of additional Restricted Stock Units will be settled (if vested) at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which they were credited.

------

**Settlement:** Your Restricted Stock Units will be settled at the following times, to the extent then vested, by delivery to you of Shares on a one-for-one basis, with one Share being delivered for each Restricted Stock Unit:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Tranche #1 Restricted Stock Units will be settled as soon as practicable, and by no later than 2 ½ months, following the first anniversary of the Grant Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Tranche #2 Restricted Stock Units will be settled as soon as practicable, and by no later than 2 ½ months, following the second anniversary of the Grant Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Tranche #3 Restricted Stock Units will be settled as soon as practicable, and by no later than 2 ½ months, following the third anniversary of the Grant Date;

provided that all then-vested Restricted Stock Units that have not previously been settled will be settled upon your "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Cash will be paid in satisfaction of any fractional Restricted Stock Unit settled pursuant to this paragraph.

**Tax Withholding**: Section 9.5 of the Plan shall apply to this Award with respect to tax withholding. To the extent that your receipt of Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units or your receipt of payments in respect of Restricted Stock Units results in a withholding obligation to the Company with respect to federal, state or local taxes, the Company has the right and authority to deduct or withhold from any compensation it would pay to you (including payments in respect of Restricted Stock Units) an amount, and/or to treat you as having surrendered vested Restricted Stock Units having a value, sufficient to satisfy its withholding obligations. In its discretion, the Company may require you to deliver to the Company or to such other person as the Company may designate at the time the Company is obligated to withhold taxes that arise from such receipt or vesting, as the case may be, such amount as the Company requires to meet its withholding obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations.

**Rejection/Acceptance**: You have ninety (90) days following the Grant Date to accept this Award through your Fidelity account. If you have not accepted this Award within ninety (90) days following the Grant Date, the Restricted Stock Units granted herein shall be automatically forfeited. If you choose to accept this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, then you accept the terms of this Award, acknowledge these tax implications, and agree and consent to all amendments to the Plan through the Grant Date as they apply to this Award and any prior awards to you of any kind under such plans.

**LiveWire Group, Inc.**

**Insider Trading Compliance Policy**

Federal and state laws prohibit trading in the securities of a company while in possession of material nonpublic information and providing material nonpublic information to others so that they can trade. Violating such laws can undermine investor trust, harm LiveWire Group, Inc.'s reputation, and result in your dismissal from LiveWire Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "<u>Company</u>") or even serious criminal and civil charges against you and the Company.

This Insider Trading Compliance Policy (this "<u>Policy</u>") outlines your responsibilities to avoid insider trading and implements certain procedures to help you avoid even the appearance of insider trading.

**I.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Summary</u>** 

Preventing insider trading is necessary to comply with securities laws and to preserve the reputation and integrity of the Company. "<u>Insider trading</u>" occurs when any person purchases or sells a security while in possession of material nonpublic information relating to the security. Insider trading is a crime. The criminal penalties for violating insider trading laws include imprisonment and fines of up to $5 million for individuals and $25 million for corporations. Insider trading may also result in civil penalties, including disgorgement of profits and civil fines. Insider trading is also prohibited by this Policy, and violation of this Policy may result in Company-imposed sanctions, including removal or dismissal for cause.

This Policy applies to all officers, directors, and employees of the Company. As someone subject to this Policy, you are responsible for ensuring that members of your household also comply with this Policy. This Policy also applies to any entities you control, including any corporations, partnerships, or trusts, and transactions by such entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for your own account. The Company may determine that this Policy applies to additional persons with access to material nonpublic information, such as contractors or consultants. This Policy extends to all activities within and outside your Company duties. Every officer, director, and employee must review this Policy. Questions regarding the Policy should be directed to the Company's Chief Legal Officer or Compliance Officer (as defined below).

The Chief Legal Officer (the "<u>Compliance Officer</u>") shall be responsible for the administration of this Policy.

In the absence of the Compliance Officer, responsibility for administering this Policy will rest with the Chief Financial Officer or such other employee as may be designated by the Compliance Officer.

In all cases, as someone subject to this Policy, you bear full responsibility for ensuring your compliance with this Policy, and also for ensuring that members of your household (and

------

individuals not residing in your household but whose transactions are subject to your influence or control) and entities under your influence or control are in compliance with this Policy.

Actions taken by the Company, the Compliance Officer, or any other Company personnel do not constitute legal advice, nor do they insulate you from the consequences of noncompliance with this Policy.

**II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Statement of Policies Prohibiting Insider Trading</u>**

No officer, director, or employee (or any other person designated as subject to this Policy) shall purchase or sell any type of security while in possession of material nonpublic information relating to the security or the issuer of such security, whether the issuer of such security is the Company or any other company.

Additionally, no officer, director or employee shall purchase or sell any security of the Company during the period beginning on the 14th calendar day before the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company and ending upon completion of the first full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter or during any other trading suspension period declared by the Company.

These prohibitions do not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases of the Company's securities from the Company or sales of the Company's securities to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exercises of stock options or other equity awards or the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or vesting of equity-based awards that, in each case, do not involve a market sale of the Company's securities (the "<u>cashless exercise</u>" of a Company stock option through a broker *does* involve a market sale of the Company's securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases or sales of the Company's securities made pursuant to any binding contract, specific instruction or written plan entered into while the purchaser or seller, as applicable, was unaware of any material nonpublic information and which contract, instruction, or plan (i) meets all requirements of the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1 ("<u>Rule 10b5-1</u>") promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>1934 Act</u>"), (ii) was precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy and (iii) has not been amended or modified in any respect after such initial preclearance without such amendment or modification being precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy. For more information about Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, see Section VI below.

------

From time to time, events will occur that are material to the Company and cause certain officers, directors, or employees to be in possession of material nonpublic information. When that happens, the Company will recommend that those in possession of the material nonpublic information suspend all trading in the Company's securities until the information is no longer material or has been publicly disclosed.

When such event-specific blackout periods occur, those subject to it will be notified by the Company. The event-specific blackout period will not be announced to those not subject to it, and those subject to it or otherwise aware of it should not disclose it to others.

Even if the Company has not notified you that you are subject to an event-specific blackout period, if you are aware of material nonpublic information about the Company, you should not trade in Company securities. Any failure by the Company to designate you as subject to an event-specific blackout period, or to notify you of such designation, does not relieve you of your obligation not to trade in the Company's securities while possessing material nonpublic information.

No officer, director, or employee shall directly or indirectly communicate (or "<u>tip</u>") material nonpublic information to anyone outside the Company (except in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company other than on a "need-to-know" basis.

**III.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Explanation of Insider Trading</u>**

"<u>Insider trading</u>" refers to the purchase or sale of a security while in possession of material nonpublic information relating to the security.

"<u>Securities</u>" includes stocks, bonds, notes, debentures, options, warrants, and other convertible securities, as well as derivative instruments.

"<u>Purchase</u>" and "<u>sale</u>" are defined broadly under the federal securities law. "Purchase" includes not only the actual purchase of a security, but any contract to purchase or otherwise acquire a security. "Sale" includes not only the actual sale of a security, but any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of a security. These definitions extend to a broad range of transactions, including conventional cash-for-stock transactions, conversions, the exercise of stock options, and acquisitions and exercises of warrants or puts, calls, or other derivative securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What Facts Are Material?**

The materiality of a fact depends upon the circumstances. A fact is considered "<u>material</u>" if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to buy, sell, or hold a security, or if the fact is likely to have a significant effect on the market price of the security. Material information can be positive or negative and can relate to virtually any aspect of a company's business or to any type of security, debt, or equity.

------

Also, information that something is likely to happen in the future—or even just that it may happen—could be deemed material.

Examples of material information include (but are not limited to) information about dividends; corporate earnings or earnings forecasts; possible mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, or dispositions; major new products or product developments; important business developments such as major contract awards or cancellations, trial results, developments regarding strategic collaborators, or the status of regulatory submissions; management or control changes; significant borrowing or financing developments, including pending public sales or offerings of debt or equity securities; defaults on borrowings; bankruptcies; cybersecurity or data security incidents; and significant litigation or regulatory actions. Moreover, material information does not have to be related to a company's business. For example, the contents of a forthcoming newspaper column that is expected to affect the market price of a security can be material.

Questions regarding material information should be directed to the Company's Chief Legal Officer or the Compliance Officer. A good rule of thumb: When in doubt, do not trade.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.What Is Nonpublic?**

Information is "<u>nonpublic</u>" if it is not available to the general public. In order for information to be considered public, it must be widely disseminated in a manner making it generally available to investors through newswire services such as Dow Jones, Reuters, Bloomberg, Business Wire, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, or United Press International; a broadcast on widely available radio or television programs; publication in a widely available newspaper, magazine, or news website; a Regulation FD-compliant conference call; or public disclosure documents filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") that are available on the SEC's website. Note that simply posting information to the Company's website may not be sufficient disclosure to make the information public.

The circulation of rumors, even if accurate and reported in the media, does not constitute effective public dissemination. In addition, even after a public announcement, a reasonable period of time must lapse in order for the market to react to the information. Generally, one should allow two full trading days following publication as a reasonable waiting period before such information is deemed to be public.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.Who Is an Insider?**

"<u>Insiders</u>" include officers, directors, and any employees of a company, or anyone else who has material nonpublic information about a company. Insiders have independent fiduciary duties to their company and its stockholders not to trade on material nonpublic information relating to the company's securities. Insiders may not trade in the Company's securities while in possession of material nonpublic information relating to the Company, nor may they tip such information to anyone outside the Company (except in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company other than on a "need-to-know" basis.

------

As someone subject to this Policy, you are responsible for ensuring that members of your household also comply with this Policy. This includes family members residing with you, anyone else living in your household, and any family members not living with you whose transactions in the Company's securities are directed by you, or subject to your influence and control. This Policy also applies to any entities you control, including any corporations, partnerships, or trusts, and transactions by these entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for your own account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.Trading by Persons Other Than Insiders**

Insiders may be liable for communicating or tipping material nonpublic information to a third party ("<u>tippee</u>"), and insider trading violations are not limited to trading or tipping by insiders. Persons other than insiders can also be liable for insider trading, including tippees who trade on material nonpublic information tipped to them or individuals who trade on material nonpublic information that has been misappropriated. Insiders may be held liable for tipping even if they receive no personal benefit from tipping and even if no close personal relationship exists between them and the tippee.

Tippees inherit an insider's duties and are liable for trading on material nonpublic information illegally tipped to them by an insider. Similarly, just as insiders are liable for the insider trading of their tippees, so are tippees who pass the information along to others who trade. In other words, a tippee's liability for insider trading is no different from that of an insider. Tippees can obtain material nonpublic information by receiving overt tips from others or through, among other things, conversations at social, business, or other gatherings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.Penalties for Engaging in Insider Trading**

Penalties for trading on or tipping material nonpublic information can extend significantly beyond any profits made or losses avoided, both for individuals engaging in such unlawful conduct and their employers. The SEC and Department of Justice have made the civil and criminal prosecution of insider trading violations a top priority. Enforcement remedies available to the government or private plaintiffs under the federal securities laws include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• SEC administrative sanctions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• securities industry self-regulatory organization sanctions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• civil injunctions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• damage awards to private plaintiffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disgorgement of all profits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• civil fines for the violator of up to three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• civil fines for the employer or other controlling person of a violator (i.e., where the violator is an employee or other controlled person) of up to the greater of $1.425 million or three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided by the violator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• criminal fines for individual violators of up to $5 million ($25 million for an entity); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• jail sentences of up to 20 years.

In addition, insider trading could result in serious sanctions by the Company, including dismissal. Insider trading violations are not limited to violations of the federal securities laws. Other federal and state civil or criminal laws, such as the laws prohibiting mail and wire fraud and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), may also be violated in connection with insider trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**F.Size of Transaction and Reason for Transaction Do Not Matter**

The size of the transaction or the amount of profit received does not have to be significant to result in prosecution. The SEC has the ability to monitor even the smallest trades, and the SEC performs routine market surveillance. Brokers or dealers are required by law to inform the SEC of any possible violations by people who may have material nonpublic information. The SEC aggressively investigates even small insider trading violations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**G.Examples of Insider Trading**

Examples of insider trading cases include actions brought against officers, directors, and employees who traded in a company's securities after learning of significant confidential corporate developments; friends, business associates, family members, and other tippees of such officers, directors, and employees who traded in the securities after receiving such information; government employees who learned of such information in the course of their employment; and other persons who misappropriated, and took advantage of, confidential information from their employers.

The following are illustrations of insider trading violations. These illustrations are hypothetical and, consequently, not intended to reflect on the actual activities or business of the Company or any other entity.

<u>Trading by Insider</u>

An officer of X Corporation learns that earnings to be reported by X Corporation will increase dramatically. Prior to the public announcement of such earnings, the officer purchases X Corporation's stock. The officer, an insider, is liable for all profits as well as penalties of up to three times the amount of all profits. The officer is also subject to, among other things, criminal prosecution, including up to

------

$5 million in additional fines and 20 years in jail.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depending upon the

circumstances, X Corporation and the individual to whom the officer reports could also be liable as controlling persons.

<u>Trading by Tippee</u>

An officer of X Corporation tells a friend that X Corporation is about to publicly announce that it has concluded an agreement for a major acquisition. This tip causes the friend to purchase X Corporation's stock in advance of the announcement. The officer is jointly liable with his friend for all of the friend's profits, and each is liable for all civil penalties of up to three times the amount of the friend's profits. The officer and his friend are also subject to criminal prosecution and other remedies and sanctions, as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**H.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prohibition of Records Falsification and False Statements**

Section 13(b)(2) of the 1934 Act requires companies subject to the 1934 Act to maintain proper internal books and records and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. The SEC has supplemented the statutory requirements by adopting rules that prohibit (i) any person from falsifying records or accounts subject to the above requirements, and (ii) officers or directors from making any materially false, misleading, or incomplete statement to any accountant in connection with any audit or filing with the SEC. These provisions reflect the SEC's intent to discourage officers, directors, and other persons with access to the Company's books and records from taking action that might result in the communication of materially misleading financial information to the investing public. Falsifying records or accounts or making materially false, misleading, or incomplete statements in connection with an audit or filing with the SEC could also result in criminal penalties for obstruction of justice.

**IV.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Statement of Procedures to Prevent Insider Trading</u>**

The following procedures have been established, and will be maintained and enforced, by the Company to prevent insider trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Blackout Periods**

The period during which the Company prepares quarterly financials is a sensitive time for insider trading purposes, as Company personnel may be more likely to possess, or be presumed to possess, material nonpublic information. To avoid the appearance of impropriety and assist Company personnel in planning transactions in the Company's securities for appropriate times, no officer, director, or employee shall purchase or sell any security of the Company during the period beginning on the 14th calendar day before the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company and ending upon completion of the first full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter or during any other trading suspension period declared by the Company, except for:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases of the Company's securities from the Company or sales of the Company's securities to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exercises of stock options or other equity awards, the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or the vesting of equity-based awards that do not involve a market sale of the Company's securities (the cashless exercise of a Company stock option through a broker <u>does</u> involve a market sale of the Company's securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *bona fide* gifts of the Company's securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases or sales of the Company's securities made pursuant to any binding contract, specific instruction, or written plan entered into while the purchaser or seller, as applicable, was unaware of any material nonpublic information and which contract, instruction, or plan (i) meets all requirements of the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1, (ii) was precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy, and (iii) has not been amended or modified in any respect after such initial preclearance without such amendment or modification being precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy.

Exceptions to the blackout period policy may be approved only by the Company's Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer or, in the case of exceptions for directors, the Board of Directors or Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

From time to time, the Company, through the Board of Directors, the Company's Audit committee or the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer, may recommend that officers, directors, employees, or others suspend trading in the Company's securities because of developments that have not yet been disclosed to the public. Subject to the exceptions noted above, all those affected should not trade in the Company's securities while the suspension is in effect, and should not disclose to others that the Company has suspended trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Preclearance of All Trades by All Officers, Directors and Certain Employees**

To provide assistance in preventing inadvertent violations of applicable securities laws and to avoid the appearance of impropriety in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company's securities, all transactions in the Company's securities (including, without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of Company stock, the exercise of stock options, elective transactions under 401(k)/ESPP/deferred compensation plans, and the sale of Company stock issued upon exercise of stock options) by officers, directors, and Direct level and above employees, (each, a "<u>Preclearance Person</u>") must be precleared by the Company's Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer, except for certain exempt transactions as explained in Section VI of this Policy. Preclearance does not relieve you of your responsibility under SEC rules.

------

A request for preclearance may be oral or in writing (including by e-mail), should be made at least two business days in advance of the proposed transaction, and should include the identity of the Preclearance Person, the type of proposed transaction (for example, an open market purchase, a privately negotiated sale, an option exercise, etc.), the proposed date of the transaction, and the number of shares or other securities to be involved. In addition, the Preclearance Person must, if requested, execute a certification (in the form approved by the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer) that he or she is not aware of material nonpublic information about the Company. The Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer shall have sole discretion to decide whether to clear any contemplated transaction. (The Chief Legal Officer or Chief Executive Officer shall have sole discretion to decide whether to clear transactions by the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer or persons or entities subject to this policy as a result of their relationship with the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer.) All trades that are precleared must be effected within five business days of receipt of the preclearance, unless a specific exception has been granted by the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer. A precleared trade (or any portion of a precleared trade) that has not been effected during the five business day period must be precleared again prior to execution. Notwithstanding receipt of preclearance, if the Preclearance Person becomes aware of material nonpublic information or becomes subject to a blackout period before the transaction is effected, the transaction may not be completed.

None of the Company, the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer, or the Company's other employees will have any liability for any delay in reviewing, or refusal of, a request for preclearance submitted pursuant to this Section IV.B. Notwithstanding any preclearance of a transaction pursuant to this Section IV.B, none of the Company, the Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer, or the Company's other employees assumes any liability for the legality or consequences of such transaction to the person engaging in such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.Post-Termination Transactions**

With the exception of the preclearance requirement, this Policy continues to apply to transactions in the Company's securities even after termination of service to the Company. If you are in possession of material nonpublic information when your service terminates, you may not trade in the Company's securities until that information has become public or is no longer material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.Information Relating to the Company**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Access to Information*

Access to material nonpublic information about the Company, including the Company's business, earnings, or prospects, should be limited to officers, directors, and employees of the Company on a "need-to-know" basis. In addition, such information should not be communicated to anyone outside the Company under any circumstances (except in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company except on a "need-to-know" basis.

------

In communicating material nonpublic information to employees of the Company, all officers, directors, and employees must take care to emphasize the need for confidential treatment of such information and adherence to the Company's policies with regard to confidential information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inquiries From Third Parties*

Inquiries from third parties, such as industry analysts or members of the media, about the Company should be directed to the General Counsel at LivewireGC@livewire.com.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limitations on Access to Company Information**

The following procedures are designed to maintain confidentiality with respect to the Company's business operations and activities.

All officers, directors, and employees should take all steps and precautions necessary to restrict access to, and secure, material nonpublic information by, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining the confidentiality of Company-related transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• conducting their business and social activities so as not to risk inadvertent disclosure of confidential information. Review of confidential documents in public places should be conducted so as to prevent access by unauthorized persons;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restricting access to documents and files (including computer files) containing material nonpublic information to individuals on a "need-to-know" basis (including maintaining control over the distribution of documents and drafts of documents);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• promptly removing and cleaning up all confidential documents and other materials from conference rooms following the conclusion of any meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disposing of all confidential documents and other papers once there is no longer any business or other legally required need — through shredders when appropriate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restricting access to areas likely to contain confidential documents or material nonpublic information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• safeguarding laptop computers, tablets, memory sticks, CDs, and other items that contain confidential information; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• avoiding the discussion of material nonpublic information in places where the information could be overheard by others, such as in elevators, restrooms, hallways, restaurants, airplanes, or taxicabs.

------

Personnel involved with material nonpublic information, to the extent feasible, should conduct their business and activities in areas separate from other Company activities.

**V.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Additional Prohibited Transactions</u>**

The Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if the persons subject to this Policy engage in certain types of transactions. Therefore, officers, directors, and employees shall comply with the following policies with respect to certain transactions in the Company securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.Short Sales**

Short sales of the Company's securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce the seller's incentive to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, short sales of the Company's securities are prohibited by this Policy. In addition, as noted below, Section 16(c) of the 1934 Act absolutely prohibits Section 16 reporting persons from making short sales of the Company's equity securities, i.e., sales of shares that the insider does not own at the time of sale, or sales of shares against which the insider does not deliver the shares within 20 days after the sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.Publicly Traded Options**

A transaction in options is, in effect, a bet on the short-term movement of the Company's stock and therefore creates the appearance that an officer, director, or employee is trading based on material nonpublic information. Transactions in options may also focus an officer's, director's, or employee's attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in puts, calls, or other derivative securities involving the Company's equity securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited by this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.Hedging Transactions**

Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, allow an officer, director, or employee to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. Such transactions allow the officer, director, or employee to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the officer, director, or employee may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other stockholders. Therefore, such transactions involving the Company's equity securities are prohibited by this Policy.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases of the Company's Securities on Margin; Pledging the Company's Securities to Secure Margin or Other Loans**

Purchasing on margin means borrowing from a brokerage firm, bank, or other entity in order to purchase the Company's securities (other than in connection with a cashless exercise of stock options under the Company's equity plans). Margin purchases of the Company's securities are prohibited by this Policy. Pledging the Company's securities as collateral to secure loans is also prohibited. This prohibition means, among other things, that you cannot hold the Company's securities in a "margin account" (which would allow you to borrow against your holdings to buy securities).

**VI.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans, Section 16, and Rule 144</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans**

The trading restrictions set forth do not apply to transactions under a previously established contract, plan, or instruction to trade in the Company's stock in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and all applicable state laws (a "<u>Trading Plan</u>") that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• has been submitted to and preapproved by the Company's Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer, or such other person as the Board of Directors may designate from time to time (the "<u>Authorizing Officer</u>"), at least 30 days before the commencement of any transactions under the Trading Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• you entered into in good faith at a time when you were not in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• either (i) specifies the amounts, prices, and dates of all security transactions under the Trading Plan, (ii) provides a written formula, algorithm, or computer program for determining the amount, price, and date of the transactions, or (iii) prohibits you from exercising any subsequent influence over the transactions.

You may adopt more than one Trading Plan at a time. You may only amend or revoke a Trading Plan outside of quarterly trading blackout periods when you do not possess material nonpublic information. Any amendment or revocation of a Trading Plan must be preapproved by the Authorizing Officer at least 30 days before you trade under an amended or outside of a revoked Trading Plan, and at least 180 days before you establish a new Trading Plan.

The Company reserves the right to publicly announce, or respond to inquiries from the media regarding, the implementation of Trading Plans or the execution of transactions made under a Trading Plan. The Company also reserves the right from time to time to suspend, discontinue, or otherwise prohibit transactions under a Trading Plan if the Authorizing Officer or the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines that such suspension, discontinuation, or other prohibition is in the best interests of the Company.

------

The cashless exercise of options under Trading Plans is permitted only through "<u>same-day sales</u>," in which the option holder does not pay for the stock up front, but rather receives cash equal to the difference between the stock value and option exercise price. Transactions prohibited under Section V of this Policy, including short sales and hedging transactions, may not be carried out through a Trading Plan.

Compliance of a Trading Plan with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and the execution of transactions pursuant to the Trading Plan are the sole responsibility of the person initiating the Trading Plan, and none of the Company, the Authorizing Officer, or the Company's other employees assume any liability for any delay in reviewing and/or refusing a Trading Plan submitted for approval nor the legality or consequences relating to a person entering into or trading under a Trading Plan.

Trading Plans do not exempt you from complying with Section 16 short-swing profit rules or liability.

During an open trading window, trades differing from Trading Plan instructions that are already in place are allowed as long as the Trading Plan continues to be followed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 16: Insider Reporting Requirements, Short-Swing Profits, and Short Sales (Applicable to Officers, Directors, and 10% Stockholders)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*1.Reporting Obligations Under Section 16(a): SEC Forms 3, 4, and 5*

Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act generally requires all officers, directors, and 10% stockholders ("<u>Section 16 Insiders</u>"), within 10 days after becoming a Section 16 Insider, to file with the SEC an "Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities" on SEC Form 3, listing the amount of the Company's stock, options, and warrants that the Section 16 Insider beneficially owns. Following the initial filing on SEC Form 3, changes in beneficial ownership of the Company's stock, options, and warrants must be reported on SEC Form 4, generally within two days after the date on which such change occurs, or in certain cases on Form 5, within 45 days after fiscal year-end. The two-day Form 4 deadline begins to run from the trade date rather than the settlement date. A Form 4 must be filed even if, as a result of balancing transactions, there has been no net change in holdings. In certain situations, purchases or sales of Company stock made within six months *prior* to the filing of a Form 3 must be reported on Form 4. Similarly, certain purchases or sales of Company stock made within six months *after* an officer or director ceases to be a Section 16 Insider must be reported on Form 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*2.Recovery of Profits Under Section 16(b)*

For the purpose of preventing the unfair use of information that may have been obtained by a Section 16 Insider, any profits realized by a Section 16 Insider from any "purchase" and "sale" of Company stock during a six-month period, so called "short-swing profits," may be recovered by the Company. When such a purchase and sale occurs, good faith is no defense. The insider is

------

liable, even if compelled to sell for personal reasons, and even if the sale takes place after full disclosure and without the use of any material nonpublic information.

The Section 16 Insider under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act is only to the Company itself. The Company, however, cannot waive its right to short swing profits, and any Company stockholder can bring suit in the name of the Company. Reports of ownership filed with the SEC on Form 3, Form 4, or Form 5 pursuant to Section 16(a) (discussed above) are readily available to the public, and certain attorneys carefully monitor these reports for potential Section 16(b) violations. In addition, liabilities under Section 16(b) may require separate disclosure in the Company's annual report to the SEC on Form 10-K or its proxy statement for its annual meeting of stockholders. No suit may be brought more than two years after the date the profit was realized. However, if the Section 16 Insider fails to file a report of the transaction under Section 16(a), as required, the two-year limitation period does not begin to run until after the transactions giving rise to the profit have been disclosed. Failure to report transactions and late filing of reports require separate disclosure in the Company's proxy statement.

Officers and directors should consult the attached "Short-Swing Profit Rule Section 16(b) Checklist" attached hereto as "Attachment A" in addition to consulting the Chief Legal Officer prior to engaging in any transactions involving the Company's securities, including, without limitation, the Company's stock, options, or warrants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Short Sales Prohibited Under Section 16(c)*

Section 16(c) of the 1934 Act absolutely prohibits Section 16 Insiders from making short sales of the Company's equity securities. Short sales include sales of stock that the Section 16 Insider does not own at the time of sale, or sales of stock against which the Section 16 Insider does not deliver the shares within 20 days after the sale. Under certain circumstances, the purchase or sale of put or call options, or the writing of such options, can result in a violation of Section 16(c). Section 16 Insiders violating Section 16(c) face criminal liability.

You should consult the Chief Legal Officer if you have any questions regarding reporting obligations, short-swing profits or short sales under Section 16.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rule 144 (Applicable to Section 16 Insiders)**

Rule 144 provides a safe harbor exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for certain resales of "restricted securities" and "control securities." "<u>Restricted securities</u>" are securities acquired from an issuer, or an affiliate of an issuer, in a transaction, or chain of transactions, not involving a public offering. "<u>Control</u> <u>securities</u>" are *any* securities owned by directors, executive officers, or other "<u>affiliates</u>" of the issuer, including stock purchased in the open market and stock received upon exercise of stock options. Sales of Company securities by affiliates (generally, Section 16 Insiders of the Company) must comply with the requirements of Rule 144, which are summarized below:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Current Public Information.*** The Company must have filed all SEC-required reports during the last 12 months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Volume Limitations.*** Total sales of Company common stock by a covered individual for any three-month period may not exceed the *greater* of: (i) 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of Company common stock, as reflected in the most recent report or statement published by the Company, or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of such shares traded during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the requisite Form 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Method of Sale.*** The shares must be sold either in a "broker's transaction" or in a transaction directly with a "market maker." A "<u>broker's transaction</u>" is one in which the broker does no more than execute the sale order and receive the usual and customary commission. Neither the broker nor the selling person can solicit or arrange for the sale order. In addition, the selling person or member of the Board of Directors must not pay any fee or commission other than to the broker. A "<u>market maker</u>" includes a specialist permitted to act as a dealer, a dealer acting in the position of a block positioner, and a dealer who holds himself out as being willing to buy and sell Company common stock for his own account on a regular and continuous basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Notice of Proposed Sale.*** A notice of the sale (a Form 144) must be filed with the SEC at the time of the sale. Brokers generally have internal procedures for executing sales under Rule 144, and will assist you in completing the Form 144 and in complying with the other requirements of Rule 144.

If you are subject to Rule 144, you must instruct your broker who handles trades in Company securities to follow the brokerage firm's Rule 144 compliance procedures in connection with all trades.

**Short-Swing Profit Rule Section 16(b) Checklist**

Note: ANY combination of PURCHASE AND SALE or SALE AND PURCHASE within six months of each other by an officer, director, or 10% stockholder (or any family member living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) results in a violation of Section 16(b), and the "profit" must be recovered by LiveWire Group, Inc. (the "<u>Company</u>"). It makes no difference how long the shares being sold have been held or, for officers and directors, that you were an insider for only one of the two matching transactions. The highest priced sale will be matched with the lowest priced purchase within the six-month period.

**Sales**

If a sale is to be made by an officer, director, or 10% stockholder (or any family member living in the same household or certain affiliated entities):

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Have there been any purchases by the insider (or family members living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) within the past six months?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Have there been any option grants or exercises not exempt under Rule 16b-3 within the past six months?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Are any purchases (or nonexempt option exercises) anticipated or required within the next six months?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.Has a Form 4 been prepared?

Note: If a sale is to be made by an affiliate of the Company, has a Form 144 been prepared and has the broker been reminded to sell pursuant to Rule 144?

**Purchases And Option Exercises**

If a purchase or option exercise for Company stock is to be made:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Have there been any sales by the insider (or family members living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) within the past six months?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Are any sales anticipated or required within the next six months (such as tax-related or year-end transactions)?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Has a Form 4 been prepared?

Before proceeding with a purchase or sale, consider whether you are aware of material nonpublic information that could affect the price of the Company stock. All transactions in the Company's securities by officers and directors must be <u>precleared</u> by contacting the Company's Chief Legal Officer or Chief Financial Officer.
