Caution About Forward-Looking Statements
This 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 the expected
timing of first customer deliveries, that it expects it production
tooling to be operational by the end of 2024 with the aim of
enabling it to reach build of materials breakeven on the first
scale production batch with EBITDA breakeven a year after that, the
belief that the strong, growing demand for its product is driven by
its innovative technology, product offering and maturity, combined
with different state and federal incentives around electrification,
and increased availability of charging infrastructure, the
expectation regarding the receipt of certifications by government
agencies, that it believes that by the end of 2024, its contract
manufacturer will allow it to scale production at a rate of 4-6
trucks per day and that it believes its deliberate and responsible
production approach will allow it to reach BoM parity from
the first scale production batch followed later by EBITDA breakeven
in the low- to mid-thousands of vehicles without additional major
capex investment. 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.

other things, statements about REE’s strategic and business plans,
