Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements." All statements in this release (other than statements of historical facts) that address future business development, technological development and/or acquisition activities (including any related required financings), timelines, events, or developments that the Company is pursuing are forward-looking statements.
For additional risks and uncertainties regarding the Company, the CDF, the Demo Plant and ongoing Programs (generally), see the risk disclosure in the Company's most recently filed MD&A, as filed on www.sedarplus.ca as well as the risks described below.
Regarding the disclosure above in the "About Ucore Rare Metals Inc." section, the Company has assumed that it will be able to procure or retain additional partners and/or suppliers, in addition to Innovation Metals Corp. ("IMC"), as suppliers for Ucore's expected future Strategic Metals Complexes ("SMCs"). Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be found to complete the Demo Plant demonstration schedule and also later prepare a new National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") technical report that demonstrates that the Bokan Mountain Rare Earth Element project ("Bokan") is feasible and economically viable for the production of both REE and co-product metals and the then prevailing market prices based upon assumed customer offtake agreements. Ucore has also assumed that sufficient external funding will be secured to continue the development of the specific engineering plans for the SMCs and their construction. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: IMC failing to protect its intellectual property rights in RapidSX™; RapidSX™ failing to demonstrate commercial viability in large commercial-scale applications; Ucore not being able to procure additional key partners or suppliers for the SMCs; Ucore not being able to raise sufficient funds to fund the specific design and construction of the SMCs and/or the continued development of RapidSX™; adverse capital-market conditions; unexpected due-diligence findings; the emergence of alternative superior metallurgy and metal-separation technologies; the inability of Ucore and/or IMC to retain its key staff members; a change in the legislation in Louisiana or Alaska and/or in the support expressed by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority ("AIDEA") regarding the development of Bokan; the availability and procurement of any required interim and/or long-term financing that may be required; and general economic, market or business conditions.
Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined by the TSXV) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 4, 2025) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company"), acknowledges the recent joint announcement by China's Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs regarding export restrictions on critical rare earth elements effective April 4, 2025.
As reported by multiple news sources, the export restrictions, applicable to all countries, include seven key medium and heavy rare earth elements, including samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium.
China's decision to implement these export controls underscores the critical importance of establishing a secure and independent rare earth supply chain in North America. Ucore remains steadfast in its commitment to mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities through the development and commercialization of its proprietary RapidSX™ rare earth element refining technology.
Ucore's Strategic Initiatives:
U.S. Department of Defense Collaboration: Ucore is currently processing heavy rare earth elements at its RapidSX™ Commercial Demonstration Plant (the "Demonstration Plant") further to its USD$4 million contract with the US Department of Defense. The Demonstration Plant was constructed in Kingston, Ontario for the purpose of demonstrating the RapidSX™ technology at commercial scale.
Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex (SMC): Ucore is progressing with the development of the Louisiana SMC in Alexandria, Louisiana. This facility is being designed to process broad both heavy and light mixed rare earth chemical concentrates, thereby reducing North America's reliance on foreign sources.
Government Support: Ucore has additionally secured a $4.28 million funding agreement from the Government of Canada to demonstrate the commercial efficacy of the RapidSX™ technology. This funding supports the production of high-purity rare earth elements from Canadian and U.S. feedstock sources. In addition to federal government support, the Company has executed a non-binding Letter of Intent with the State of Louisiana with respect to State grants, tax incentives, payroll rebates and other incentives with an estimated value of USD$15 million.
On March 20, 2025, President Trump invoked wartime powers under the Defense Production Act to address threats to America's national and economic security as a result of reliance on "hostile foreign powers' mineral production" (see Ucore Press Ucore Applauds White House Executive Action to Strengthen Critical Mineral Production – Ucore Rare Metals Inc.). The Executive Order outlines a number of initiatives to "facilitate domestic mineral production to the maximum extent possible" and is aimed at the production of a number of critical minerals, including rare earth elements. Ucore looks forward to continuing its work the US Department of Defense in developing a North American supply chain for these critical materials.
Pat Ryan, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO of Ucore, stated: "China's recent announcement highlights the urgent need for a robust and independent rare earth supply chain in North America. Ucore's RapidSX™ technology offers a transformative solution to this challenge, and we are committed to advancing our strategic initiatives to ensure a stable and secure supply of critical rare earth elements."

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 21, 2025) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company"), is pleased to comment on the latest executive order issued by President Trump, invoking wartime powers under the Defense Production Act to address threats to the country's national and economic security by reliance upon "hostile foreign powers' mineral production" (the "Executive Order").
The Executive Order outlines a number of initiatives to "facilitate domestic mineral production to the maximum extent possible" and is aimed at the production of a number of critical minerals, including rare earth elements. More specifically, the Executive Order directs the Development Finance Corporation ("DFC") and Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to establish a dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments within 30 days.
Additionally, the Secretary of Defense has been directed to add mineral production as a priority industrial capability development area for the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program ("IBAS"). Ucore is a current participant of the IBAS Program and is processing rare earth materials at its RapidSX™ Commercial Demonstration Facility further to a USD$4 million contract with the US Department of Defense (see Ucore Press Release dated June 6, 2023 Ucore Announces a US$4 Million Award from the US Department of Defense – Ucore Rare Metals Inc.).
"President Trump's executive order underscores the urgent need to establish robust, domestic rare earth processing capabilities," said Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore. "As the US looks to onboard rare earth mineral projects, there is strategic merit in knowing that significant security can be established by first dominating the processing and refining. We look forward to continuing our work with the Department of Defense to support this important initiative as we move toward commercializing our RapidSX™ rare earth element ("REE") refining technology."

Ucore's first Strategic Metals Complex is to be located in the England Airpark (formerly the England Air Force Base). The project has already garnered strong support from both government and private sector stakeholders and will provide the U.S. with the capacity to produce high-purity REEs essential for national security and technological advancement.
This executive order aligns strongly with Ucore's ongoing efforts to develop a resilient Western supply of REEs, including those crucial to semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, and clean energy applications. With the global semiconductor market projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030 and AI-driven automation fueling unprecedented demand for rare earth permanent magnets, Ucore's scalable and modular refining process is uniquely positioned to fill this critical gap.

The words “aim” “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “can,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “intend(s),” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would”, “designed,” “target” and similar expressions (or the negative version of such words or expressions) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, may be forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on REE’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as of the date of this communication and current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions. Although REE believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve an unknown number of risks, uncertainties, judgments, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond REE’s control. Forward-looking statements in this communication speak only as of the date made and REE undertakes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws. In light of these risks and uncertainties, investors should keep in mind that results, events or developments discussed in any forward-looking statement made in this communication may not occur.
Uncertainties and risk factors that could affect REE’s future performance and could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: REE’s ability to commercialize its strategic plan, including its plan to successfully evaluate, obtain regulatory approval, produce and market its P7 lineup; REE’s ability to maintain and advance relationships with current Tier 1 suppliers and strategic partners; development of REE’s advanced prototypes into marketable products; REE’s ability to grow and scale manufacturing capacity through relationships with Tier 1 suppliers; REE’s estimates of unit sales, expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions; REE’s reliance on its UK Engineering Center of Excellence for the design, validation, verification, testing and homologation of its products; REE’s limited operating history; risks associated with building out of REE’s supply chain; risks associated with plans for REE’s initial commercial production; REE’s dependence on suppliers and potential suppliers, which include single or limited source suppliers; development of the market for commercial EVs; risks associated with data security breach, failure of information security systems and privacy concerns; risks related to a lack of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement or other Nasdaq listing rules; future sales of our securities by existing material shareholders or by us that could cause the market price for the Class A Ordinary Shares to decline; potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, political events, international hostilities and instability, piracy or acts by terrorists; intense competition in the e-mobility space, including with competitors who have significantly more resources; risks related to the fact that REE is incorporated in Israel and governed by Israeli law; REE’s ability to make continued investments in its platform; the impact of fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, and foreign exchange rates; the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia and any other worldwide health epidemics or outbreaks that may arise and adverse global conditions, including macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty; the global economic environment, the general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate (including the recent policy changes by the Trump Administration); the ongoing Gaza war and other military conflict in Israel; the need to attract, train and retain highly-skilled technical workforce; changes in laws and regulations that impact REE; REE’s ability to enforce, protect and maintain intellectual property rights; REE’s ability to retain engineers and other highly qualified employees to further its goals; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in REE’s annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2024 and in subsequent filings with the SEC.

New Powered by REE fleet will aim to expand Mission Mobile’s 200 mobile healthcare programs targeting more than two million Americans in 42 states who currently do not have equitable healthcare access.
First P7 vehicle delivery is slotted for mid 2025.
GREENSBORO, N.C. and TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mission Mobile Medical and REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE) have signed an agreement under which REE will provide vehicles to Mission Mobile Medical which will be used by the latter to make healthcare more accessible to people in historically underserved, rural areas in the United States.

This combination of REE’s proprietary automotive technology and Mission Mobile Medical’s expertise in transportable wellness programs will result in the next generation of customizable health solutions, designed with enhanced efficiency, adaptability and sustainability deployed in rural communities across America.
REE’s P7-C is the first U.S. certified fully by-wire vehicle, designed around four identical REEcorners®, which integrate all critical vehicle components (steering, braking, suspension, powertrain and control) into a single compact module. Built with a technology-first mindset, the P7-C sets a new standard in safety and performance while offering flexibility to build cargo trucks, work trucks, medical vehicles and more.
“Collaborating with Mission Mobile Medical highlights the unique capabilities of REE’s software-defined technology,” said Tali Miller, Chief Business Officer of REE. “Our modular and customizable chassis enables purpose-built solutions to meet specific needs, and Mission Mobile Medical intends to utilize it to improve the lives of millions of people. In addition, our robust national dealer network with 80 points of service will allow these mobile health vehicles to be supported close to where medical services are being delivered.

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse REE Automotive Ltd.'s (NASDAQ:REE) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. REE Automotive Ltd. operates as an automotive technology company in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and internationally. The US$151m market-cap company posted a loss in its most recent financial year of US$114m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$110m shrinking the gap between loss and breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which REE Automotive will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.
View our latest analysis for REE Automotive
According to the 2 industry analysts covering REE Automotive, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2026, before generating positive profits of US$6.0m in 2027. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2027? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 58% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
NasdaqCM:REE Earnings Per Share Growth February 11th 2025
We're not going to go through company-specific developments for REE Automotive given that this is a high-level summary, but, take into account that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
One thing we would like to bring into light with REE Automotive is its relatively high level of debt. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in REE Automotive's case is 43%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk in investing in the loss-making company.

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 21, 2025) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company has been awarded $500,000 in partnership with Ontario's Critical Minerals Innovation Fund (the "Fund"). The non-dilutive funding contribution is for the advancement of the Continuous Improvement Process at the Company's RapidSXTM Commercial Demonstration Facility in Kingston, Ontario.
"Investing in critical mineral advancements, like Ucore Rare Metals Inc.'s innovative RapidSX™ technology, is vital to strengthen Ontario's critical minerals sector, drive innovation, and secure our future security and prosperity," said George Pirie, Minister of Mines. "This $500,000 in funding through our Critical Minerals Innovation Fund will help to build a secure supply chain ready to fuel the technologies of tomorrow and increase our global competitiveness."
Ucore is currently commercializing its RapidSXTM technology for the refining and separation of rare earth oxides at its Commercial Development Facility in Kingston, Ontario. The Company has constructed, commissioned and is operating a 52 stage RapidSXTM Demonstration Plant for the separation and refining of heavy and light rare earth oxides. Ucore is employing cutting-edge digital manufacturing with ongoing continuous process capabilities and flexible work cells that enable monitoring at every step of the operation, thus allowing for a staged market entry. These innovations will allow Ucore to compete with established Chinese producers.
"We are thrilled to have the Ontario government as a partner as we work toward re-establishing the North American rare earth supply chain," stated Pat Ryan, CEO of Ucore. "The importance of rare earth products to strategic industries such as national defense, robotics and AI, and many clean technologies cannot be overstated. Ontario's Critical Minerals Innovation Fund will play an important role as we work toward critical minerals independence in North America."

The Critical Minerals Innovation Fund provides funding to projects that help strengthen Ontario's critical minerals sector, supporting projects that involve research, development and commercialization of innovative technologies, techniques, processes and solutions for critical minerals and relate to key priority areas. Key priority areas include the battery supply chain, inventive techniques for deep exploration and mining, recovery of minerals, and other innovative projects that support the critical minerals sector.
Rare Earth Elements are essential components to several modern technologies. The largest application is their use in rare earth permanent magnets. Rare earth permanent magnets are used in a number of products, including electric vehicles, wind turbines, cell phones, MRI machines and numerous military applications. While rare earths are relatively abundant in the earth's crust, economic concentrations are uncommon and extensive processing is required to separate and refine the rare earths to a required purity. Ucore's focus on the all-important refining and separating of rare earth concentrates to usable oxides is needed to rebuild fragmented Western world supply chains.

Ucore's proposed Louisiana rare earth refining facility is located within the England Airpark & Community, a Foreign Trade Zone.
Foreign Trade Zones have the potential to mitigate the impact of proposed tariffs on the import and export of rare earth products.
Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 4, 2024) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company"), noting the recent news about potentially increased tariffs, comments on the value of its new Strategic Metals Complex (SMC) in the favorable location of England Airpark Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) for affordable supply of rare earths to U.S. consumers.
During the recent election campaign, and following the Republican victory, President-elect Trump emphasized a return to tariffs and other trade measures as a way to encourage the reshoring of American manufacturing. Key proposals include heightened tariffs on Chinese and other foreign-made goods, especially in critical materials supply chains.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other key federal agencies have identified rare earth elements as critical to national security, powering technologies from advanced fighter jets to renewable energy systems. DoD, in particular, is required to begin sourcing rare earths from non-Chinese sources. However, over 80% of REE processing currently takes place in China, leaving the U.S. vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.
Ucore, which has located its first SMC within the England Airpark FTZ in Alexandria, Louisiana, is well-positioned to assist customers in developing secure rare earth supply chains that comply with DoD acquisition regulations and have favorable import status. FTZs are designated geographic areas where commercial merchandise, both domestic and foreign, is treated as if it were outside the U.S. commerce for Customs purposes. This structure can potentially provide tariff and tax relief, helping American businesses stay competitive on the import of foreign inputs and on exporting finished products.
Ucore encourages manufacturers seeking rare earth solutions to connect with us to determine how this uniquely advantageous import and export zone can reduce tariff costs, encourage sustainable supply chains, and support the revitalization of the domestic REE supply chain. This includes new manufacturers and technology operations, longtime rare earth magnet users, and even the most established supply chain managers in Europe, Japan and South Korea, who may all see a reduction in the cost and risk of operations.

"Being located in Louisiana, where there is a strong Republican delegation, further highlights the advantages and opportune location to launch Ucore's REE refining and separation in the U.S.," stated Pat Ryan, CEO of Ucore. "The foreign trade zone status provided by our partner, the England Airpark & Community, is unique as it allows a competitive structure by reducing tariff burdens on the necessary foreign inputs and allowing a seamless avenue to service downstream customers with exported finished product."

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 3, 2024) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company") announces that the Company intends to extend the term of a total of 7,055,795 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"). The Warrants were originally issued pursuant to a non-brokered private placement of the Company, which closed on December 22, 2022. Each Warrant is exercisable at a strike price of $0.85, with an original 24-month term. The Company intends to extend the expiry date for these Warrants by 12 months, and accordingly, the new, proposed expiry date for the Warrants will be December 22, 2025.
All other terms and conditions of the Warrants will remain unchanged. The extension of the term of the Warrants is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
Orca Holdings, LLC holds 1,785,000 of the Warrants and is wholly-owned by Mr. Randy Johnson, a member of Ucore's Board of Directors and an insider of Ucore. Therefore, the proposed extension of the term of the Warrants, as described in this news release, is considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-01 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Warrant extension is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 since neither the fair market value of the amended securities, nor the consideration paid, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The above-described transaction was reviewed and unanimously approved by the Company's Board of Directors, with Mr. Johnson declaring his conflict and abstaining from the Board of Directors' deliberations. No special committee was created to review and approve the proposed extension to the term of the Warrants.
The Company also announces that it has entered into a marketing and consulting agreement (the "Marketing Agreement") with an arm's-length marketing firm, Outside the Box Capital Inc. ("OTBC") of Oakville, Ontario, to provide marketing consulting and investor relations services, including marketing services through social media channels and online media distribution.
In connection with the Marketing Agreement, which has commenced for an initial term of six months ending on April 28, 2025, the Company has paid OTBC a cash fee of $150,000 plus applicable taxes. The Agreement, dated October 22, 2024, can be terminated early by mutual consent of the parties. OTBC has no shares of the Company as of the date hereof and has no direct relationship with the Company other than as set out in this press release.
The Company's engagement with OTBC is another step in its efforts to enhance communication with the current investor community and expand visibility to a greater audience. OTBC specializes in leveraging various social media platforms and will be able to facilitate greater awareness and widespread dissemination of the Company's news. The engagement of OTBC, as contemplated in the Marketing Agreement and summarized above, remains subject to TSXV approval.

But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see REE Automotive's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.
Hedge funds don't have many shares in REE Automotive. Samvardhana Motherson International Limited is currently the largest shareholder, with 20% of shares outstanding. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 16% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 8.1% by the third-largest shareholder.
On further inspection, we found that more than half the company's shares are owned by the top 6 shareholders, suggesting that the interests of the larger shareholders are balanced out to an extent by the smaller ones.
While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance. There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future.
Insider Ownership Of REE Automotive
While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves.
Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own some shares in REE Automotive Ltd.. It has a market capitalization of just US$132m, and insiders have US$13m worth of shares, in their own names. Some would say this shows alignment of interests between shareholders and the board, though we generally prefer to see bigger insider holdings. But it might be worth checking if those insiders have been selling.
General Public Ownership
The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 43% stake in REE Automotive. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies.
Private Company Ownership
Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 8.1%, of the company's shares. Private companies may be related parties. Sometimes insiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual. While it's hard to draw any broad stroke conclusions, it is worth noting as an area for further research.
Public Company Ownership
Public companies currently own 20% of REE Automotive stock. This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marking a significant milestone on its path to electrifying fleet vehicles across North America, REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE), an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, today announced that it has selected Roush Industries, a leading innovative vehicle contract manufacturer, to assemble REE’s P7 vehicles at Roush’s Detroit-area factory. REE will continue to manufacture its proprietary REEcorner® technology in its UK Coventry Integration Center. With a focus on speed to market and impeccable build quality, Roush’s assembly team unites decades of design, engineering, machining, fabrication, testing, manufacturing, and supply chain expertise to deliver a scalable process for REE. Roush will be supported onsite by a joint REE and Motherson team, who will be responsible for overall quality assurance, logistics, and testing.
Roush, as U.S. contract manufacture for the P7 lineup, will be responsible for the assembly of full vehicles according to REE’s requirements. REE’s software-defined electric trucks will be assembled at Roush’s Detroit based site specifically chosen for REE’s requirements and designed to have a yearly capacity of up to 5,000 trucks. Motherson, a leading global automotive part supplier with whom REE signed a strategic agreement, will manage global supply chain and logistics targeting cost reduction, improved unit economics and higher margines.
REE’s P7 electric commercial trucks line-up is built on top of four REEcorners® featuring REE’s disruptive x-by-wire technology. REEcorners® pack critical vehicle components into the area between the chassis and the wheel, enabling a fully flat electric chassis end-to-end with up to 35% more interior volume for passengers, cargo and batteries. Electric vehicles built on the P7 chassis have the industry’s lowest step-in height, are autonomous ready, and can be powered by either batteries or fuel cells. The P7 is well established with a network of 78 service and sales locations through 24 authorized dealers across North America with potential access to over 200 fleets in the U.S. and Canada.
“We chose to work with Roush because of their proven capabilities and expertise in the commercial EV market, their capacity to scale production, and their understanding of our unique business model, which is to build our vehicles to order, not for inventory,” said Josh Tech, Chief Operating Officer of REE. “We want to get our trucks in the hands of our customers as soon as possible, while not sacrificing on quality, making sure our customers can count on us as they build their electric commercial fleets. By partnering with Roush, we can concentrate on our core technology and production of the REEcorners while optimizing production costs and reducing go to market times benefiting from their nearly 40-year track record of engineering and manufacturing spans from NASCAR, to lunar terrain vehicles, to the most innovative EVs.”

Motherson will oversee supply chain management, leveraging manufacturing capabilities for components, module integration, REEcorners, and platform assembly to support full vehicle production, including U.S. assembly of P7 electric trucks.
With this agreement, REE believes its ability to service customers at scale will materially accelerate. Given the unmet market need, significant order growth is anticipated. In addition to faster revenue, improved unit costs are anticipated, accelerating the road to meaningful free-cash flow generation.
REE priced a $45.35 million registered direct offering, led by M&G Investment, REE’s largest shareholder, who invested $20 million; Motherson, who invested $15 million in the round; and Varana Capital, one of REE’s earliest investors; who invested $5.25 million.
Motherson will nominate a member to join REE’s board of directors.
TEL-AVIV, Israel and NOIDA, India, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REE Automotive (NASDAQ: REE), an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, and Motherson Group (IN: MOTHERSON), an engineering and manufacturing specialist and a major supplier to the automotive industry with long standing relationships with global OEMs such as Mercedes Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Suzuki, BMW, Porsche, GM, Ford, Stellantis, Daimler Trucks, Paccar and John Deere today announced a strategic agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Motherson will manage sourcing and supply chain of all production parts and support the assembly of the REEcorner® and REE P7 electric trucks, the first full by-wire, software-driven certified medium duty electric truck available on the market today. Motherson will also nominate a director to join REE’s board of directors.
In addition, REE has entered into definitive agreements with certain investors, including M&G Investments, Motherson, and Varana Capital, for the purchase and sale of 11,001,941 shares of its Class A ordinary shares (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at a purchase price of $4.122 per share in a registered direct offering, for gross proceeds of $45.35 million before deducting applicable fees and expenses. REE intends to use the proceeds for general working capital. The offering is expected to close on or by September 19, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
M&G Investments, REE’s long-term supportive shareholder, led the investment with $20 million followed by Motherson participating with a $15 million investment. Following the closing of the offering, M&G will hold approximately 16.00% of REE’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares; Motherson will hold approximately 19% on a non-diluted basis; and, similarly, Varana Capital 8.00%
Benefiting from the new collaboration, the buying power, manufacturing capability, and industry relationships of Motherson, REE aims to expedite production to meet growing demand and anticipated fleet orders from significant multi-national customers. REE offers the only software-driven medium duty electric truck that can meet an expected fleet transition to electric of more than 240,000 medium duty trucks in the U.S. alone and more than double across the rest of the world. By collaborating with Motherson, REE can focus on further growing its customer base, pulling forward orders, increasing gross and cash flow margins, and expanding its patent portfolio.
Laksh Vaaman Sehgal, Vice Chairman, Motherson Group, said, "We are pleased to announce our long-term agreement with REE to accelerate its industrialization within a mutually beneficial commercial framework. We have been truly impressed by REE's remarkable technology, exceptional product offerings, and robust team. We look forward to facilitating REE's growth and technological advancement by expertly managing its supply chain and utilizing our world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities to drive commercialization and industrialization. We also want to strengthen REE's integration into the automotive ecosystem by delivering unparalleled customer support across the value chain. We believe that this strategic partnership will contribute towards Motherson’s diversification and increasing content per vehicle strategy.”
REE Co-founder and CEO, Daniel Barel, said, “We are very excited to enter into this agreement with Motherson, as I believe this agreement will enable us to leapfrog over many of the challenges others face when ramping up production. Motherson’s global footprint and manufacturing prowess combines perfectly with REE’s technology and innovation mindset. This combination will benefit our customers and investors alike, by pushing forward the transition towards electrification and carbon neutrality. We are proud to join forces with Motherson and looking forward to learning from their incredible story and amazing culture.”
M&G Investments’ Portfolio Manager, Carl Vine, said, “I believe that this is a transformational transaction for REE and we are delighted to be involved. As shareholders in both companies, we are confident that the combination of core competencies from both sides will result in a sigh of relief from global fleet owners, who have been starved of an electrified product line-up that can be produced and serviced at scale. This is a win-win all round.”

Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 12, 2024) – Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSXV: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its latest advancements associated with the commercialization of its RapidSX™ rare earth separation technology. In addition to demonstrating its patent-pending RapidSX™ technology platform at the Commercialization and Demonstration Facility ("CDF") in Kingston, Ontario, for the separation of heavy and light rare earth elements ("REE"), the Company is trialing a number of ancillary systems to demonstrate the entire commercial flowsheet. These systems will ultimately be incorporated into Ucore's first commercial REE separation and rare earth oxide ("REO") production facility in Alexandria, Louisiana – the Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex ("SMC").
In parallel with a dedicated technical team, the CDF operates seven days per week, serving multiple purposes, requiring dedicated shift and activity schedules, namely:
the processing of mixed rare earth oxide ("MREO") and carbonate ("MREC") feedstocks over thousands of runtime hours to further the Company's two government demonstration projects;
to develop and demonstrate an array of ancillary processing systems with the deployment of the RapidSX™ technology platform in a rigorous production environment; and
conduct product qualification work to meet prospective Western world partners' commercial interests and associated specifications.

RapidSX™ Operations
The Company schedules its 52-stage RapidSX™ Demonstration Plant ("Demo Plant") to operate 120 hours per week processing tonnes of feedstock in a simulated commercial environment. The completely automated system incorporates approximately 600 feedback sensors, which include monitoring acidity levels (pH), aqueous and organic interface levels, tank levels, and system pressures and flow rates, all of which are controlled by multiple programmable logic controllers ("PLCs") and a single operator at a central control station.
Since the Demo Plant was commissioned in late 2023, through a dedicated program of continuous improvement, the Ucore team has developed significant enhancements to the mechanical and control systems that deliver and remove the organic and aqueous solutions to each RapidSX™ stage. This is an essential component of the final "copy and paste" knowledge transfer process from the CDF to the SMC to ensure a robust and proven technology platform delivering best-in-class competitive processing versus that of the People's Republic of China.
Full Scope Operations
The purpose of the CDF is the demonstration of the entire rare earth refining flowsheet, which extends well beyond the separation of REEs utilizing the RapidSX™ system. The Company has been engaged in the development and demonstration of the associated operations, including:
design and testing of an optimized Cerium depletion process;
direct leaching of heavy MREO and light MREC, eliminating the pre-leaching calcining step traditionally required in the processing of MRECs;
development of a dedicated yttrium removal process;
design and installation of a distillation system for the concentration of produced rare earth chlorides and the recovery and recycling of hydrochloric acid;
design and installation of a neutralization system to recycle and manage the generated rare earth chloride solutions; and
development of a batch-level process for light and heavy rare earth oxide production.
End User Qualifications
Since the commencement of Kingston operations, Ucore has had numerous confidential requests for REO products produced to specifications from Western world end users. The CDF produces heavy and light rare earth chlorides from various feedstocks, including monazite, bastnaesite, ionic clays, and xenotime sources. This has been complemented by the development of a dedicated batch-level process area within the CDF for the production of kilogram quantities of rare earth oxides from the generated rare earth chlorides. This is the final processing step of the planned commercial REO production facility.
"It is an exceptionally exciting time for the Company," stated Mike Schrider, P.E., Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Ucore. "The innovative work being completed at our Commercial Demonstration Facility strongly positions us as a first mover in the Western commercial heavy rare earth processing space as we continue to execute our plan for production in Louisiana.
"The Company is making daily advancements in our integrated knowledge of applying the chemistry of solvent extraction with our computerized column technology platform to the intricate separations involved with heavy rare earth elements. Our flowsheet development and demonstration work in Kingston are essential risk mitigation steps to help us achieve our Louisiana SMC commercial objectives."
The Company has hosted numerous visitors at the CDF over the past several months, including both potential feedstock and offtake partners, as well as supply chain alignment discussions with a variety of industry participants.

(Bloomberg) — German chemicals maker BASF SE has abandoned plans to invest in lithium mining assets in Chile as a slowdown in electric-vehicle adoption worldwide drags down battery metal prices.

BASF withdrew from initial talks with Wealth Minerals Ltd., the Vancouver-based firm that has exploration projects in Chile, the German company said in an email to Bloomberg late Tuesday. Wealth shares slumped as much as 31% on Wednesday, the biggest intraday decline in three years.
A potential arrangement had included possible funding and offtake if Wealth obtained production contracts in Chile. BASF also was exploring the possibility of building a plant in Chile to turn lithium into the cathode that goes into electric-vehicle batteries, part of a push to grow revenue beyond BASF’s broad suite of plastics and chemical products.
“No collaboration between BASF and Wealth Materials materialized in the end,” BASF wrote. The company didn’t give a reason for ending the talks or mention the proposed cathode plant.
BASF shares rose 0.6% in early Frankfurt trading, adding to gains for 7.4% over the past year to value Germany’s biggest chemical maker at €40 billion ($43 billion).
The withdrawal follows BASF’s announcement last week that it scrapped a joint plan with Eramet SA for a $2.6 billion nickel-cobalt refinery in Indonesia. Slowing EV sales growth has pushed down prices of key inputs, with lithium at three-year lows after surging to a record in late 2022. BASF now plans to bolster raw-materials supply for European operations via a new battery recycling plant in Germany, due to start operations later this year.
The bumpy shift to EVs has triggered carmakers to row back on ambitious model rollout plans, prompting battery-cell makers like Northvolt AB to go slow on multi-billion projects. That’s leading to cancellations further up the supply chain from suppliers such as BASF and Umicore SA.
While the German company’s involvement in Chile was at a very early stage, its withdrawal is a blow to European authorities’ push for companies to secure deals with key battery metals suppliers. That effort is becoming harder as Asian suppliers push ahead with cheaper batteries nascent European manufacturers can’t match.
BASF’s decision is also a setback for Wealth as it grapples with a strategy being implemented in Chile to open new areas to lithium extraction. One of the company’s projects is in an area deemed of strategic importance, meaning it would have to take on a state-owned company as a majority partner.
Wealth Chief Executive Officer Henk van Alphen declined to comment on BASF’s exit. He said implementation of the government’s lithium strategy has been slow though progress is being made. Authorities next week are scheduled to announce details of firms interested in new contracts in nonstrategic salt flats.

We are excited to partner with Penske and have them offer our electric trucks to their customers and we are proud to be the first electrification partner for U-Haul which we believe both demonstrates our leadership in the industry and the value our technology delivers,” stated Daniel Barel, REE’s co-founder and CEO.
“We believe that our REEcorner® technology uniquely positions us in a lucrative portion of the commercial electric vehicles (“EV”) value chain. The U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (“FMVSS”), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) certifications attained solidified our technological leadership. We see growth in market penetration through our dealers’ network across North America, as well as increasing demand from other automotive manufacturers to adopt our REEcorner® technology. We continue to see interest in our mature full by-wire technology for autonomous solutions as we have shown through our collaboration with Airbus UpNext (“Airbus”) in its autonomous program. We believe that this, coupled with our capital expenditure (“CapEx”)-light manufacturing and operations strategy, enables us to rapidly reach our commercial market and financial goals. We believe our initial customer deliveries, and the feedback we receive on our products, show strong potential, and we expect it will generate significant growth in our order book supporting our production strategy,” Barel concluded.
Q1 2024 and Recent Highlights:
Business:
Penske begins to offer Powered by REE® EVs to its customers. Subsequent to quarter end, REE delivered to Penske a P7-C upfitted with a 16-foot Wabash DuraPlate® body for demos and orders across North America. Penske is a leading global transportation services provider managing a fleet of approximately 450,000 vehicles with more than 2,650 rental locations across North America. The Penske truck debuted at the 2024 ACT Expo generating interest from large fleets.
U-Haul received and is evaluating a Powered by REE® class 5 electric platform as the first solution to support the electrification of its fleet. U-Haul is a subsidiary of the U-Haul Holding Company (NYSE: UHAL) founded in 1945, U-Haul operates more than 23,000 rental locations across all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces with a fleet of 192,200 trucks, 138,500 trailers and 44,500 towing devices.
Airbus selected the Powered by REE® vehicle for a fully autonomous program based on REE’s full by-wire capabilities. REE believes that this solidifies the maturity of its full by-wire technology and potentially opens REE to the autonomous driving market.
Deliveries have commenced to REE’s distribution network of 20 dealers with 66 points of sales and service and access to a potential of over 200 fleets across the U.S and Canada. Demos of REE’s P7-C have begun to be delivered to fleets for orders, potentially adding further momentum to the current $50 million order book value.
Launched demo program to expand fleets’ exposure to REE’s commercial EV. Subsequent to quarter-end more than 120 demo rides were performed with multiple prospects, with the aim to generate follow-on orders based on continued positive feedback received from fleets. The demos give fleets the opportunity to experience the first FMVSS certified full by-wire commercial vehicle, secure the inventory they need to transition their fleets to electric and aim to showcase the P7-C’s driver-centric cabin, modular design and tight maneuverability firsthand.
Two new complete P7-C solutions were showcased at the National Truck and Equipment Association’s Work Truck Week in Indianapolis, Indiana. Addressing Pritchard’s demand, a full P7-C truck was upfitted with a KUV body from Knapheide, North America’s most popular manufacturer of work truck bodies and truck beds. Subsequent to quarter-end, at the ACT Expo, REE presented the P7-C truck upfitted with a 16-foot Wabash DuraPlate® body, built per Penske’s requirements.
Technology:
P7-C is the first full by-wire truck to achieve U.S. FMVSS and EPA certifications. P7-C vehicles are now eligible for a U.S. federal tax credit of up to $40,000 per vehicle and are expected to be eligible for over $100,000 of incentives per vehicle with additional state incentives.
Operations:
REE is progressing with its CapEx light manufacturing strategy to achieve bill of materials break-even in the low hundreds of vehicles. The two-step manufacturing approach involves U.S. assembly of full vehicles and continued production of REEcorners® at the Company’s automated Coventry, UK facility, which has an annual capacity of 10,000 vehicle sets.
The tooling investment for the REEcorner® in the UK has been deployed, resulting in a highly efficient, automated production line consisting of 13 robotic stations, run by only seven human operators. REEcorners® are built upon customer order, not inventory, thus optimizing working capital.
Financing options are being evaluated to fund scale production of full vehicles by the end of 2024 and subsequent scaling in 2025 and beyond. Once funding is secured, REE plans to ramp up production in the U.S. against its order book, in parallel to the completion of the production tooling program. Once the U.S. production tooling comes online, REE plans to scale production responsibly according to available working capital and demand, with a goal of de-risking execution.
Financials:
First quarter GAAP net loss narrowed by 29% QoQ to $25.2 million compared to $35.2 million in Q4 2023 and narrowed by 12% year-over-year (YoY) compared to $28.6 million in Q1 2023. The YoY decrease was mainly driven by operational efficiencies implemented, which reduced payroll and related costs and other operational expenses, as well as lower share-based compensation expenses. These decreases were partially offset by losses from remeasurement of warrants and financial expenses related to convertible notes as well as an increase in income tax expenses. The decrease compared to the previous quarter was mainly attributed to the increased non-recurring engineering development costs in Q4 2023.
Non-GAAP net loss in the quarter narrowed by 33% QoQ to $21.7 million compared to $32.2 million in Q4 2023 and narrowed by 10% from $24.0 million in Q1 2023.
REE ended Q1 2024 with liquidity of $77.5 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, inclusive of a $15 million credit facility.
Free cash flow (FCF) burn continued to narrow in Q1 2024, with a 6% reduction from Q4 2023, consistent with the trend in full year 2023 when REE reported a 25% YoY decrease in FCF burn.
During the first quarter, the Company raised approximately $15 million (gross) in proceeds through a public offering of ordinary shares priced at $6.50 per share. The equity raise was led by M&G Investment Management Limited, one of Europe’s largest investment firms, a strategic automotive investor, and REE’s largest shareholder. In addition, from January 2024 through May 30, 2024, the Company issued 54,938 Class A Ordinary Shares under the At the Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC for total gross proceeds of approximately $0.3 million.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables below.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share, reflect additional means of evaluating REE’s ongoing operating results and trends. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
We believe that Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash used in our operational activities and capital expenditures. Free Cash flow burn represents the negative cash outflow used in our activities as explained above.

About REE AutomotiveREE Automotive (Nasdaq: REE) is an automotive technology company that allows companies to build electric vehicles of various shapes and sizes on their modular platforms. With complete design freedom, vehicles Powered by REE® are equipped with the revolutionary REEcorner®, which packs critical vehicle components (steering, braking, suspension, powertrain and control) into a single compact module positioned between the chassis and the wheel. As the first company to FMVSS certify a full by-wire vehicle in the U.S., REE’s proprietary by-wire technology for drive, steer and brake control eliminates the need for mechanical connection. Using four identical REEcorners® enables REE to make the industry’s flattest EV platforms with more room for passengers, cargo and batteries. REE platforms are future proofed, autonomous capable, offer a low total cost of ownership (TCO), and drastically reduce the time to market for fleets looking to electrify.

Caution About Forward-Looking StatementsThis communication includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding REE or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. For example, REE is using forward-looking statements when it discusses that its REEcorner® technology uniquely positions it in a lucrative portion of the commercial EV value chain, the growing demand to adopt its REEcorner® technology and products, its outlook that deliveries are expected to grow to the low thousands of vehicles in 2025, working up to a cumulative delivery goal of approximately 6,000 vehicles by the end of 2026, putting it in a position for positive cash flow, access to a potential of 200 fleets across North America, benefits and advantages of REE trucks, that P7-C vehicles are expected to be eligible for over $100,000 of incentives per vehicle with additional state credits, that it is evaluating its financing options to fund the scaling of production of full vehicles by the end of 2024, its planned subsequent scaling in 2025 and beyond, that once funding is secured, and that once U.S. production tooling comes online, that it plans to ramp up production responsibly according to available working capital and demand, with a goal of de-risking execution. In addition, any statements that refer to plans, projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “aim” “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would”, “designed,” “target” and similar expressions (or the negative version of such words or expressions) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this communication may include, among other things, statements about REE’s strategic and business plans, technology, relationships and objectives, including its ability to meet certification requirements, the impact of trends on and interest in our business, or product, intellectual property, REE’s expectation for growth, and its future results, operations and financial performance and condition.
These forward-looking statements are based on REE’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as of the date of this communication and current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions. Although REE believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve an unknown number of risks, uncertainties, judgments, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond REE’s control. Forward-looking statements in this communication speak only as of the date made and REE undertakes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws. In light of these risks and uncertainties, investors should keep in mind that results, events or developments discussed in any forward-looking statement made in this communication may not occur.
Uncertainties and risk factors that could affect REE’s future performance and could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: REE’s ability to commercialize its strategic plan, including its plan to successfully evaluate, obtain regulatory approval, produce and market its P7 lineup; REE’s ability to maintain and advance relationships with current Tier 1 suppliers and strategic partners; development of REE’s advanced prototypes into marketable products; REE’s ability to grow and scale manufacturing capacity through relationships with Tier 1 suppliers; REE’s estimates of unit sales, expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions; REE’s reliance on its UK Engineering Center of Excellence for the design, validation, verification, testing and homologation of its products; REE’s limited operating history; risks associated with building out of REE’s supply chain; risks associated with plans for REE’s initial commercial production; REE’s dependence on potential suppliers, some of which will be single or limited source; development of the market for commercial EVs; risks associated with data security breach, failure of information security systems and privacy concerns; risks related to lack of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement; future sales of our securities by existing material shareholders or by us could cause the market price for the Class A Ordinary Shares to decline; potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, political events, international hostilities and instability, piracy or acts by terrorists; intense competition in the e-mobility space, including with competitors who have significantly more resources; risks related to the fact that REE is incorporated in Israel and governed by Israeli law; REE’s ability to make continued investments in its platform; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rate changes, the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia and any other worldwide health epidemics or outbreaks that may arise and adverse global conditions, including macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty; the global economic environment, the general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate; the ongoing military conflict in Israel; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; the need to attract, train and retain highly-skilled technical workforce; changes in laws and regulations that impact REE; REE’s ability to enforce, protect and maintain intellectual property rights; REE’s ability to retain engineers and other highly qualified employees to further its goals; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in REE’s annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2024 and in subsequent filings with the SEC.
