This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed by REE Automotive Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, under registration number 51-455733-9 (the “Company,” “us” or “we”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2022 (as amended, the “Schedule TO”) relating to the Company’s offer to the holders of certain of our outstanding warrants, including the public warrants (as defined in the Schedule TO) and the private placement warrants (as defined in the Schedule TO) (collectively, the “warrants”), each to purchase the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, without par value (“Class A ordinary shares”), to receive 0.20 Class A ordinary shares in exchange for every outstanding warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”). Concurrently with the Offer, we solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the public warrants and holders of the private placement warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement (as defined in the Schedule TO), to permit the Company to require that each warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.18 Class A ordinary shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer. The Offer and Consent Solicitation were made upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, dated August 25, 2022 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) to this Amendment, and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(ii) to the Schedule TO.
The purpose of this Amendment is to amend and supplement the Schedule TO to (i) update Item 11 of the Schedule TO to report the final results of the Offer, and (ii) update Item 12 of the Schedule TO to (a) include the final Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, dated September 21, 2022, which forms part of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (“Registration Statement”) declared effective by the SEC on September 21, 2022, and (b) a press release issued by the Company on September 23, 2022, announcing the results of the Offer and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent remains unchanged. This Amendment should be read with the Schedule TO, the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
Item 11. Additional Information.
Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at Midnight (end of day) Eastern Standard Time, on September 22, 2022. The Company has been advised that approximately 13,065,941 warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Company expects to accept all validly tendered warrants for exchange and settlement on or about October 6, 2022. In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of approximately 84% of the outstanding public warrants and the approval of approximately 82% of the outstanding private placement warrants to the Warrant Amendment (as defined in the Schedule TO), which exceeds 50% of the outstanding public warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the Warrant Agreement with respect to the private placement warrants, 50% of the outstanding private placement warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment. The Company has executed the Warrant Amendment as of September 23, 2022. A copy of the Warrant Amendment is included as Exhibit (d)(xv) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.
On September 23, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the final results of the Offer as set forth above. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(B) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.
