REE REE Automotive Ltd

REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE), an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, today announced the closing of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 2,300,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “ordinary shares”), which includes the full exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option. Each ordinary share was sold at a public offering price of $6.50 per share.

The gross proceeds to REE from the offering are approximately $14.95 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by REE. REE intends to use the net proceeds from the offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, including continued product development and commercialization. Multiple investors participated in the offering, led by M&G Investment Management Limited (“M&G”), one of Europe’s largest investment firms and REE’s largest shareholder. Through its long history of investing in the global auto industry, M&G has a valuable network of industry connections which can offer significant value to REE.

“REE remains financially and operationally disciplined. We are highly motivated by the confidence and continued support of our customers and our investors, including our largest shareholder, M&G. We continue to execute upon our business plans, as evidenced by the recent FMVSS certification milestone and continued growth in our order book. In a market with significant structural demand and limited supply options, we are seeing customer interest continuing to build,” said Daniel Barel, co-founder and CEO of REE Automotive.

“We continue to be very impressed with REE’s execution and its technological achievements. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that REE’s x-by-wire technology, which sits at the heart of its offering, is unlike anything else commercially available today,” said Carl Vine, co-head of APAC Equity Investing at M&G. “REE’s business model has always been differentiated from other companies that we have seen come and go in this space. By only ever intending to supply the critical, technology-driven aspects of its flexible vehicle-platform, REE has always held the promise of strong unit economics with only modest capital needs.”

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 proposed use of proceeds and its belief that it continues to successfully execute its business plan. 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.

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.
