Material Transactions and Corporate Actions

Financial Metrics and Liquidity

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- The offering remains subject to required stockholder approval and related corporate actions.
- Waiver of the vehicle-sales covenant indicates that the company may not be required to meet the previously stated 250-unit sales target by December 31, 2023.
