Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report was filed by Lucid Group, Inc. on October 8, 2021. The filing addresses the redemption of Public Warrants and the subsequent voluntary withdrawal of the remaining Sponsor Warrants from listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not contain financial performance data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt levels. The only quantitative data provided relates to the capital structure of the warrants:
- Remaining Warrants: Approximately 44.4 million Sponsor Warrants.
- Underlying Shares: Exercisable for approximately 44.4 million shares of Class A common stock.
- Exercise Price: $11.50 per share.

Material Changes
Following the redemption of Public Warrants effective October 8, 2021, the Company's outstanding warrant structure changed significantly:
- Delisting Action: The Company notified Nasdaq of its intent to withdraw the listing of the remaining Sponsor Warrants (traded under symbol "LCIDW").
- Liquidity Impact: Management anticipates limited trading activity and reduced liquidity for the warrants due to the single remaining holder and potential redemption rights upon transfer.
- Common Stock Status: The listing of the Company's Class A common stock (ticker "LCID") remains unaffected.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management Rationale: The Company determined that continued listing of the warrants is not necessary given the limited number of holders and the costs associated with maintaining the listing.
Regulatory Timeline: The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC on October 18, 2021, with the delisting to become effective ten days thereafter.
Risks: The primary risk identified is the potential negative effect on the liquidity of the warrants following the delisting.
