344,420,000 Ordinary Shares Offered by the Selling Securityholder

and

Up to an Additional 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares Offered by the Selling Securityholder

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by Antara Capital Master Fund LP (“Antara” or the “Selling Securityholder”), or its permitted transferees, of (i) 125,000,000 ordinary shares, with an accounting par value (“Ordinary Shares”), (ii) up to an additional 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which represents the maximum number of additional Ordinary Shares that the Selling Securityholder has committed to purchase from us, assuming such Ordinary Shares have been issued at $0.20 per Ordinary Share, being the lesser of $0.20 per Ordinary Shares or 70% of the last reported sale price per Ordinary Share on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the business day prior to the date on which a subscription notice is properly delivered to Antara, that in the case of (i) and (ii), the Selling Securityholder acquired from us in multiple registered direct offerings (the “Primary Registered Offerings”) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, defined and described under “Prospectus Summary,” and (iii) 219,420,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange Shares”) issued to Antara by us in exchange for $121,900,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 held by Antara (the “Exchange Notes”), pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, defined and described under “Prospectus Summary” (the “Exchange”). This prospectus also covers any additional securities that may become issuable by reason of share splits, share dividends or other similar transactions.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of our Ordinary Shares and the general manner in which the Selling Securityholder may offer or sell these Ordinary Shares. More specific terms of any Ordinary Shares that the Selling Securityholder may offer or sell may be provided in a prospectus supplement that contains specific information about the offering and the amounts, prices and terms of the securities. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you in connection with these offerings. The prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. You should carefully read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as any documents incorporated by reference, before you invest in any of our securities.

All of the Ordinary Shares offered by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholder for its own account. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the selling securityholder. However, we will pay the expenses, other than any underwriting discounts and commissions, associated with the sale of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to this prospectus.

We are registering the Ordinary Shares described above for resale pursuant to the Selling Securityholder’s registration rights under the Subscription Agreement and Exchange Agreement. Our registration of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that either we or the Selling Securityholder will offer or sell any of the Ordinary Shares. The Selling Securityholder may offer and sell the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the Ordinary Shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ARVL.” On February 23, 2023, the last reported sale price of our Ordinary Shares as reported on Nasdaq was $0.30 per Ordinary Share. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or amendment carefully before you invest in our securities.

None of the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

In this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus, references to “Euro,” “EUR” and “€” are to the single currency adopted by participating member states of the European Union relating to Economic and Monetary Union and references to “$,” “US$” and “U.S. Dollars” are to the lawful currency of the United States of America.

Certain amounts described in this annual report have been expressed in U.S. Dollars for convenience and, when expressed in U.S. Dollars in the future, such amounts may be different from those set forth in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus due to intervening exchange rate fluctuations.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

In this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein, we present industry data, information and statistics regarding the markets in which Arrival competes as well as Arrival’s analysis of statistics, data and other information provided by third parties relating to markets, market sizes, market shares, market positions and other industry data pertaining to Arrival’s business and markets. Such information is supplemented where necessary with Arrival’s own internal estimates and information obtained from discussions with its customers, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and Arrival’s management’s judgment where information is not publicly available.

Industry publications, research, studies and forecasts generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus. These forecasts and forward-looking information are subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in any forecasts or estimates.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before you make a decision to buy our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under “Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the specific risks incorporated by reference in this prospectus to our Annual Report or Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus before acquiring any such securities. If any of these risks actually occur, it may materially harm our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As a result, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, the risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may become material and adversely affect our business.

Risks Relating to the offerings and our Ordinary Shares

Our share price may be volatile, and you may be unable to sell your shares at or above the offering price.

The market price of our Ordinary Shares is likely to be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:

6

Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our Ordinary Shares. If the market price of our Ordinary Shares after the Primary Registered Offerings and the Exchange does not exceed the public offering price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

We will need additional capital. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our business initiatives.

Until we can generate revenue from our products, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations and/or licensing arrangements. Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we will be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our business initiatives.

Our failure to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in a delisting of our Ordinary Shares.

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ARVL”. On October 31, 2022, Nasdaq issued Arrival a deficiency notice indicating that October 28, 2022 was the 30th consecutive trading day on which the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares was below $1.00 per share, making Arrival deficient in its compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The deficiency notice also indicated that Arrival had 180 calendar days, or until May 1, 2023, to cure the deficiency pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). If at any time during the 180-day grace period, the closing bid price of our Ordinary Shares is $1.00 per Ordinary Share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide us written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, we may be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period if we apply to transfer the listing of the Shares to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held Ordinary Shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If we fail cure our deficiency or if in the future, we fail to satisfy any other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, Nasdaq may take steps to delist the Ordinary Shares. Such a delisting would have a materially adverse effect on the price of the Ordinary Shares, impair the ability to sell or purchase the Ordinary Shares when persons wish to do so, and materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital or pursue strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transactions on acceptable terms, or at all. Delisting from The Nasdaq Global Select Market

7

and/or The Nasdaq Global Market would also enable holders of our convertible notes to convert the notes or force us to repurchase them, impacting our liquidity in the event repurchases were made in cash or further diluting shareholders if conversions are settled in Ordinary Shares. A conversion would also result in a material reduction in our net working capital. Delisting from Nasdaq could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities, as well as a limited amount of news and analyst coverage.

If our Ordinary Shares are delisted by Nasdaq, they may be eligible for quotation on an over-the-counter quotation system or on the pink sheets. Upon any such delisting, our Ordinary Shares would become subject to the regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks. A penny stock is any equity security not traded on a national securities exchange that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our Ordinary Shares and could limit the ability of shareholders to sell securities in the secondary market. In such a case, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our comm Ordinary Shares, and there can be no assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be eligible for trading or quotation on any alternative exchanges or markets.

Sales of our Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders, or the perception that these sales may occur, especially by directors, executive officers or significant shareholders of Arrival, may cause our stock price to decline.

If our existing shareholders, in particular our directors, executive officers or other affiliates, sell substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, or are perceived by the public market as intending to sell, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares could decline. In addition, sales of these shares of Ordinary Shares could impair our ability to raise capital, should we wish to do so. We cannot predict the timing or amount of future sales of our Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders, but such sales, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Ordinary Shares.

We believe we were a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”), for our taxable year ending December 31, 2021, may have been classified as a PFIC for our taxable year ending December 31, 2022 and may be classified as a PFIC for our current taxable year or future taxable years which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. holders of our Ordinary Shares.

Generally, if for any taxable year, at least 75% of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the value of our assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, including cash, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The determination of whether we are a PFIC depends on the particular facts and circumstances (such as the valuation of our assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, and the composition of our income) and may also be affected by the application of the PFIC rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC asset test, the value of our assets will depend in part on the market price of our Ordinary Shares, which may fluctuate significantly. Based on the composition of our income and the fact that we are not yet producing revenue from our active operations, we believe we were a PFIC for our taxable year ending December 31, 2021, may have been classified as a PFIC for our taxable year ending December 31, 2022 and may be classified as a PFIC for our current taxable or future taxable years. However, since the tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually after the close of the taxable year, and it is difficult to accurately predict future income and assets relevant to this determination, there can be no assurance with respect to our PFIC status for our current taxable year or any future taxable year.

If we are a PFIC, U.S. holders of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as the ineligibility for any preferred tax rates on capital gains or on actual or deemed dividends for individuals who are U.S. holders, having interest apply to distributions by us and the proceeds of sales of the Ordinary Shares, and additional reporting requirements under U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations. As we believe we were a PFIC for the taxable year ending December, 31, 2021, we expect to provide

8

the information necessary for a U.S. investor to make a qualifying electing fund election (“QEF”) with respect to us in order to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences resulting from PFIC treatment. U.S. investors should invest in our Ordinary Shares only if they are willing to bear the U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with investments in PFICs. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the application of the PFIC rules to our Ordinary Shares. For more information related to PFIC classification and making a QEF election, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into each of the foregoing constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves. We rely on this safe harbor in making these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “outlook” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean a statement is not forwarding looking. All such forward-looking statements involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in the statements. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and in any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:

10

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and in any document incorporated by reference are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements in this prospectus and in any document incorporated herein by reference should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

11

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the Ordinary Shares offered by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement will be sold by the Selling Securityholder for its own account. We will not receive any proceeds from such sales. We will pay certain expenses associated with the registration of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus, as described in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.”

12

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our consolidated capitalization and indebtedness as of June 30, 2022:

The table below assumes that the Primary Registered Offerings described in (ii) above comprise offerings of 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of $0.20 per share, being the lesser of $0.20 per Ordinary Share or 70% of the last reported sale price per Ordinary Share on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the business day prior to the date on which the relevant subscription notice has been properly delivered to Antara. The actual number of Ordinary Shares issued will vary depending on the actual sales price per Ordinary Share in the Primary Registered Offerings described in (ii). The sale price used herein is an assumed price. If the sale price per Ordinary Share decreases and 70% of the last reported sale price per Ordinary Share on the business day prior to the relevant subscription date is lower than $0.20, then the actual number of Ordinary Share issued in the Primary Registered Offerings described in (ii) could be significantly higher.

The actual and as adjusted data in the table below is unaudited. The information below should be read together with our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes and the other financial information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

13

The above table is based on 638,237,901 shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and excludes, in each case as of June 30, 2022:

14

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the resale by the Selling Securityholder from time to time of 344,420,000 Ordinary Shares and up to an additional 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares that the Selling Securityholder has acquired, or may acquire, from us pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the Exchange Agreement. The Selling Securityholder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Ordinary Shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Securityholder” in this prospectus, we mean Antara, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholder’s interest in the Ordinary Shares other than through a public sale.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned, and the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that the Selling Securityholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus. We have based percentage ownership on 763,237,901 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of February 23, 2023.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholder will in fact sell any or all of such Ordinary Shares. As such, we are unable to declare the number of Ordinary Shares that the Selling Securityholder will retain after any such sale. In addition, the Selling Securityholder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Ordinary Shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus.

Except as noted in this prospectus, the Selling Securityholder does not have, or within the past three years has not had, any position, office, or material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Securityholder and the number of Ordinary Shares offered on its behalf. The Selling Securityholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

MATERIAL LUXEMBOURG INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general description of certain Luxembourg tax considerations relating to the Company and the holders of Ordinary Shares. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations in relation to the Ordinary Shares. Holders of the Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors as to which countries’ tax laws could be relevant to acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities and the consequences of such actions under the tax laws of those countries. This overview is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this document and is subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date, even with retroactive effect.

The comments below are intended as a basic overview of certain tax consequences in relation to the Company and the purchase, ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares under Luxembourg law. Persons who are in any doubt as to their tax position should consult a professional tax advisor.

Withholding taxation

Any dividend distributed by the Company to its shareholders under the Ordinary Shares will in principle be subject to a 15% withholding tax unless an exemption or a treaty reduction applies.

Luxembourg taxation of the holders

Luxembourg tax residence of the holders

Holders will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in Luxembourg solely by reason of holding, execution, performance, delivery, exchange and/or enforcement of the Ordinary Shares.

Taxation of Luxembourg non-residents

Holders who are non-residents of Luxembourg and who do not have a permanent establishment, a permanent representative, or a fixed place of business in Luxembourg with which the holding of the Ordinary Shares is connected, are not liable to any Luxembourg income tax, whether they receive payments upon redemption, repurchase or repayments of the Ordinary Shares, or realize capital gains on the sale of any Ordinary Shares, unless they sell a participation of more than 10% in the Company within six months of their acquisition.

Taxation of Luxembourg residents

Holders who are Luxembourg resident companies (société de capitaux) or foreign entities which have a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Luxembourg with which the holding of the Ordinary Shares is connected, must include in their taxable income any income (including dividend) and the difference between the sale or redemption price and the lower of the cost or book value of the Ordinary Shares.

Luxembourg resident corporate holders who are family wealth management companies subject to the law of 11 May 2007, as amended, undertakings for collective investment subject to the law of 17 December 2010, as amended, to the law of 13 February 2007, as amended, or to the law of 23 July 2016 on reserved alternative investment funds, as amended, (provided it is not foreseen in the incorporation documents that (i) the exclusive object is the investment in risk capital and that (ii) article 48 of the aforementioned law of 23 July 2016 applies) are tax exempt entities in Luxembourg, and are thus not subject to any Luxembourg tax (i.e., corporate income tax, municipal business tax and net wealth tax), other than the annual subscription tax calculated on their (paid up) share capital (and share premium) or net asset value.

Net Wealth Tax

Luxembourg net wealth tax will not be levied on the Ordinary Shares held by a corporate holder, unless: (a) such holder is a Luxembourg resident other than a holder governed by: (i) the laws of 17 December 2010 and

17

13 February 2007 on undertakings for collective investment, as amended; (ii) the law of 22 March 2004 on securitization, as amended; (iii) the law of 15 June 2004 on the investment company in risk capital, as amended; (iv) the law of 11 May 2007 on family estate management companies, as amended; or (v) the law of 23 July 2016 on reserved alternative investment funds, as amended; or (b) such Ordinary Shares are attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is carried on by a non-resident company in Luxembourg through a permanent establishment.

Luxembourg net wealth tax is levied at a 0.5% rate up to EUR 500 million taxable base and at a 0.05% rate on the taxable base in excess of EUR 500 million. Securitization vehicles, investment companies in risk capital (Société d’investissement en capital à risque (SICAR)), a regulated structure designed for private equity and venture capital investments (organized as tax opaque companies), and reserved alternative investment funds subject to the law of 23 July 2016 (provided it is foreseen in the incorporation documents that (i) the exclusive object is the investment in risk capital and that (ii) article 48 of the aforementioned law of 23 July 2016 applies), are subject to net wealth tax up to the amount of the minimum net wealth tax.

The minimum net wealth tax is levied on companies having their statutory seat or central administration in Luxembourg. For entities for which the sum of fixed financial assets, receivables against related companies, transferable securities and cash at bank exceeds 90% of their total gross assets and EUR 350,000, the minimum net wealth tax is currently set at EUR 4,815. For all other companies having their statutory seat or central administration in Luxembourg which do not fall within the scope of the EUR 4,815 minimum net wealth tax, the minimum net wealth tax ranges from EUR 535 to EUR 32,100, depending on the company’s total gross assets.

Other Taxes

No stamp, value, issue, registration, transfer or similar taxes or duties will be payable in Luxembourg by Noteholders in connection with the issue of the Ordinary Shares, nor will any of these taxes be payable as a consequence of a subsequent transfer, exchange or redemption of the Ordinary Shares, unless the documents relating to the Ordinary Shares are (i) voluntarily offered in Luxembourg or (ii) appended to a document that requires obligatory registration in Luxembourg.

There is no Luxembourg value added tax payable in respect of payments in consideration for the issuance of the Ordinary Shares or in respect of the payment under the Ordinary Shares or the transfer of the Ordinary Shares. Luxembourg value added tax may, however, be payable in respect of fees charged for certain services rendered to the Company if, for Luxembourg value added tax purposes, such services are rendered or are deemed to be rendered in Luxembourg and an exemption from Luxembourg value added tax does not apply with respect to such services.

No Luxembourg inheritance tax is levied on the transfer of the Ordinary Shares upon the death of a holder in cases where the deceased was not a resident of Luxembourg for inheritance tax purposes. Where a holder is a resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes at the time of his death, the Ordinary Shares are included in his taxable estate for inheritance tax assessment purposes.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. holders (as defined below) relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof. The discussion below applies only to Ordinary Shares that are held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax and Medicare contribution tax consequences, or U.S. holders who are subject to special rules, such as:

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is the beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of partners of the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partners and the activities of the partner and the partnership. Partners of partnerships holding the Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Ordinary Shares by the partnership.

This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described in this prospectus. This discussion does not take into account potential suggested or proposed changes in such tax laws which may impact the discussion below and does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes. Each of the foregoing is subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to their particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE ORDINARY SHARES. EACH HOLDER OF THE ORDINARY SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX

U.S. Holders

This discussion applies to you if you are a U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

Taxation of the Ordinary Shares

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Generally. A PFIC is any foreign corporation with respect to which either: (i) 75% or more of the gross income for a taxable year constitutes passive income for purposes of the PFIC rules; or (ii) 50% or more of such foreign corporation’s assets in any taxable year (generally based on the quarterly average of the value of its assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, certain royalties and rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is based upon the composition of such foreign corporation’s income and assets (including, among others, its proportionate share of the income and assets of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% (by value) of the stock), and the nature of such foreign corporation’s activities. A separate determination must be made after the close of each taxable year as to whether a foreign corporation was a PFIC for that year.

Based on the composition of Arrival’s income and the fact that Arrival is not yet producing revenue from its active operations, Arrival believes it was a PFIC for its taxable year ending December 31, 2021, may have been classified as a PFIC for its taxable year ending December 31, 2022 and may be classified as a PFIC for its current taxable or future taxable years. However, since the tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually after the close of the taxable year, and it is difficult to accurately predict future income and assets relevant to this determination, there can be no assurance with respect to Arrival’s PFIC status for its current taxable year or any future taxable year. Further, Arrival provides no assurances that it will make a determination as to its PFIC status in respect of any taxable year. The fair market value of the assets of Arrival is expected to depend, in part, upon (a) the market value of the Ordinary Shares, and (b) the composition of the assets and income of Arrival. Because Arrival may value its goodwill based on the market value of the Ordinary Shares, a decrease in the market value of the Ordinary Shares and/or an increase in cash or other passive assets would increase the relative percentage of its passive assets. The application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects and, therefore, no assurances can be provided that the IRS will not assert that Arrival is a PFIC with respect to any taxable year.

If Arrival is classified as a PFIC in any year with respect to which a U.S. holder holds the Ordinary Shares, Arrival generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. holder in all succeeding years during which the U.S. holder holds the Ordinary Shares (unless a purging election is made), regardless of whether Arrival continues to meet the tests described above for treatment as a PFIC in such succeeding years.

20

Under one form of purging election, a “deemed sale” election, a U.S. holder may be able to elect to be treated as having disposed of the Ordinary Shares at their fair market value as of the last day of the last taxable year in which Arrival is classified as a PFIC, triggering gain that would be subject to tax under the excess distribution regime discussed below but terminating treatment of the Ordinary Shares as stock of a PFIC with respect to such U.S. holder. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. holder would have a new basis and holding period in the Ordinary Shares for purposes of the PFIC rules. U.S. holders should discuss the potential availability of a deemed sale election and other purging elections with their own tax advisors.

If Arrival is or becomes a PFIC during any year in which a U.S. holder holds the Ordinary Shares, there are three separate taxation regimes that could apply to such U.S. holder under the PFIC rules, which are (i) the excess distribution regime (which is the default regime), (ii) the QEF regime, and (iii) the mark-to-market regime. A U.S. holder who holds (actually or constructively) stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to U.S. federal income taxation under one of these three regimes. The effect of the PFIC rules on a U.S. holder will depend upon which of these regimes applies to such U.S. holder. However, dividends paid by a PFIC are generally not eligible for the lower rates of taxation applicable to qualified dividend income (“QDI”) under any of the foregoing regimes.

Excess Distribution Regime. If a U.S. holder does not make a QEF election or a mark-to-market election, as described below, such U.S. holder will be subject to the default “excess distribution regime” under the PFIC rules with respect to (i) any gain realized on a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of its Ordinary Shares, and (ii) any “excess distribution” it received on its Ordinary Shares (generally, any distributions in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the Ordinary Shares during the preceding three years or its holding period, whichever is shorter). Generally, under this excess distribution regime:

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution will be payable generally without regard to offsets from deductions, losses and expenses. In addition, gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the U.S. holder’s Ordinary Shares cannot be treated as capital gains, even if it holds the shares as capital assets. Further, no portion of any distribution on the Ordinary Shares will be treated as QDI.

QEF Regime. A QEF election is effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. If a U.S. holder makes a timely QEF election with respect to its direct or indirect interest in a PFIC, the U.S. holder will be required to include in income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of the PFIC as QEF income inclusions, even if such amount is not distributed to the U.S. holder. Thus, the U.S. holder may be required to report taxable income as a result of QEF income inclusions without corresponding receipts of cash. U.S. holders should not expect that they will receive cash distributions from Arrival sufficient to cover any U.S. tax liability with respect to such QEF income inclusions. To the extent a U.S. holder makes a QEF election with respect to Arrival and Arrival is not classified as a PFIC in a subsequent year, the U.S. holder will not be required to take into account QEF income inclusions for that subsequent year, but the QEF election would remain in effect if Arrival were classified as a PFIC again in the future.

A timely QEF election also allows the electing U.S. holder to: (i) generally treat any gain recognized on the disposition of its shares of the PFIC as capital gain; (ii) treat its share of the PFIC’s net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income; and (iii) either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC

21

status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on its share of the PFIC’s annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge on the deferred tax computed by using the statutory rate of interest applicable to an extension of time for payment of tax. In addition, net losses (if any) of a PFIC will not pass through to its shareholders and may not be carried back or forward in computing such PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain in other taxable years. Consequently, a U.S. holder who makes a QEF election with respect to the Ordinary Shares may over time be taxed on amounts that, as an economic matter, exceed Arrival’s net profits.

A U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Ordinary Shares will be increased to reflect QEF income inclusions and will be decreased to reflect distributions of amounts previously included in income as QEF income inclusions. No portion of the QEF income inclusions attributable to ordinary income will be treated as QDI. Amounts included as QEF income inclusions with respect to direct and indirect investments generally will not be taxed again when distributed. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the manner in which QEF income inclusions affect their allocable share of Arrival’s income and their basis in their Ordinary Shares.

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. holder must receive certain information from Arrival. Arrival will endeavor to provide all of the information that a U.S. holder making a QEF election is required to obtain to make and maintain a QEF election, but there is no assurance that Arrival will timely provide such information. There is also no assurance that Arrival will have timely knowledge of its status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided. In addition, if Arrival holds an interest in a lower-tier PFIC (including, without limitation, in any PFIC subsidiaries), U.S. holders will generally be subject to the PFIC rules described above with respect to any such lower-tier PFICs. There can be no assurance that a portfolio company or subsidiary in which Arrival holds an interest will not qualify as a PFIC or that a PFIC in which Arrival holds an interest will provide the information necessary for a QEF election to be made by a U.S. holder (in particular if Arrival does not control that PFIC).

Mark-to-Market Regime. Alternatively, a U.S. holder may make an election to mark marketable shares in a PFIC to market on an annual basis. PFIC shares generally are marketable if: (i) they are “regularly traded” on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC or on the national market system established under Section 11A of the Exchange Act; or (ii) they are “regularly traded” on any exchange or market that the Treasury Department determines to have rules sufficient to ensure that the market price accurately represents the fair market value of the stock. It is expected that the Ordinary Shares, which are expected to be listed on Nasdaq, will qualify as marketable shares for this purpose, but there can be no assurance that the Ordinary Shares will be “regularly traded” for purposes of these rules. Pursuant to such an election, U.S. holders would include in each year as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such stock over its adjusted basis at the end of the taxable year. U.S. holders may treat as ordinary loss any excess of the adjusted basis of the stock over its fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the election in prior years. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the PFIC shares will be increased to reflect any amounts included in income, and decreased to reflect any amounts deducted, as a result of a mark-to-market election. Any gain recognized on a disposition of the Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of a mark-to-market election). A mark-to-market election only applies for the taxable year in which the election was made, and for each subsequent taxable year, unless the PFIC shares ceased to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. U.S. holders should also be aware that the Code and the Treasury Regulations do not allow a mark-to-market election with respect to stock of lower-tier PFICs that is non-marketable. There is also no provision in the Code, Treasury Regulations or other published authority that specifically provides that a mark-to-market election with respect to the stock of a publicly traded holding company (such as Arrival) effectively exempts stock of any lower-tier PFICs from the negative tax consequences arising from the general PFIC rules. We advise U.S. holders to consult their own tax advisor to determine whether the mark-to-market tax election is available to them and the consequences resulting from such election.

22

PFIC Reporting Requirements. A U.S. holder of the Ordinary Shares will be required to file an annual report on IRS Form 8621 containing such information with respect to its interest in a PFIC as the IRS may require. Failure to file IRS Form 8621 for each applicable taxable year may result in substantial penalties and result in the U.S. holder’s taxable years being open to audit by the IRS until such forms are properly filed.

Acquisition, Ownership and Disposition of the Ordinary Shares if Arrival Is Not a PFIC

If Arrival is not a PFIC at all times during the period a U.S. holder held, or is considered to have held, the Ordinary Shares, such U.S. holder will not be subject to the PFIC rules described under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” Instead, such U.S. holder will be subject to the following rules.

Distributions on the Ordinary Shares if Arrival Is Not a PFIC

The gross amount of any distribution on the Ordinary Shares that is made out of Arrival’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received. Any such dividends generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds Arrival’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such excess amount will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in its Ordinary Shares, and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange.

Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) from a “qualified foreign corporation” may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation as QDI, provided that certain holding period requirements and other conditions are satisfied. For these purposes, a non-U.S. corporation will be treated as a qualified foreign corporation if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that meets certain requirements. There can be no assurances that Arrival will be eligible for benefits of an applicable comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. A non-U.S. corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends it pays on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that shares listed on Nasdaq (which the Ordinary Shares are expected to be) will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance that the Ordinary Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation on QDI regardless of Arrival’s status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, QDI treatment will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to the positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arrival will not constitute a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of these rules if it is treated as a PFIC for the taxable year in which it pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, withholding taxes, if any, on dividends paid by Arrival may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules and may be treated as a deductible non-U.S. tax in computing a U.S. holder’s taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Recent Treasury regulations may in some circumstances prohibit a U.S. person from claiming a foreign tax credit or a deduction with respect to certain non-U.S. taxes; however, these prohibitions do not apply to the extent that such non-U.S. taxes are treated as creditable under an applicable income tax treaty. For purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders should consult their

23

own tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credits or deductions for non-U.S. taxes in their particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of the Ordinary Shares if Arrival Is Not a PFIC

A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of the Ordinary Shares generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period in such Ordinary Shares exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or exchange of the Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the foreign tax credit implications of such sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the Ordinary Shares.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain U.S. holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar thresholds are required to report information to the IRS relating to the Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for the Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938 to their tax return, for each year in which they hold the Ordinary Shares. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Also, in the event a U.S. holder does not file IRS Form 8938 or fails to report a specified foreign financial asset that is required to be reported, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. holder for the related taxable year may not close before the date which is three years after the date on which the required information is filed. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on the ownership and disposition of the Ordinary Shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid on and other proceeds received with respect to the Ordinary Shares by U.S. holders effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding may apply to such amounts if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent of the U.S. holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S. holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the possible resale from time to time by the Selling Securityholder of 344,420,000 Ordinary Shares and up to an additional 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued by us to the Selling Securityholder in connection with the Subscription Agreement and Exchange Agreement. We have assumed that the maximum additional 125,00,000 Ordinary Shares are offered at a price of $0.20 per Ordinary Share, being the lesser of $0.20 per Ordinary Share or 70% of the last reported sale price per Ordinary Share on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the business day prior to the date on which the relevant subscription notice has been properly delivered to Antara. The actual number of Ordinary Shares issued will vary depending on the actual sales price in the subsequent Primary Registered Offerings of up to an additional $25,000,000 of Ordinary Shares.We are also registering any additional securities that may become issuable by reason of share splits, share dividends or other similar transactions. All of the Ordinary Shares offered by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholder for its own account. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder.

The Selling Securityholder will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholder for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholder in disposing of the Ordinary Shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

The Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholder. The term “Selling Securityholder” includes donees, pledgees, transferees, assignees, designees or other successors in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership or other distribution or other transfer. The Selling Securityholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to our then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Securityholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agent, to reject, any proposed purchase of Ordinary Shares to be made directly or through its agent. The Selling Securityholder and any of its permitted transferees may sell the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Ordinary Shares are traded or in private transactions. If underwriters are used in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the shares for their own account. These sales may be at a fixed price or varying prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Ordinary Shares may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Ordinary Shares will be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Ordinary Shares offered if any of the Ordinary Shares are purchased.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the Subscription Agreement and Exchange Agreement, the Selling Securityholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus:

25

In connection with distributions of the Ordinary Shares or otherwise, the Selling Securityholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the Ordinary Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Securityholder. The Selling Securityholder may also sell the Ordinary Shares short and redeliver the Ordinary Shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus, which Ordinary Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholder may also pledge Ordinary Shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution may effect sales of the pledged Ordinary Shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

In order to facilitate the offering of the Ordinary Shares, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such Ordinary Shares may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Ordinary Shares. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our Ordinary Shares for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our Ordinary Shares, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, Ordinary Shares in the open market. Finally, in any offering of Ordinary Shares through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a broker-dealer for distributing such Ordinary Shares in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed Ordinary Shares in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the Ordinary Shares above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

26

The Selling Securityholder may solicit offers to purchase the Ordinary Shares directly from, and it may sell such Ordinary Shares directly to, institutional investors or others. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in our Ordinary Shares, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for our Ordinary Shares.

The Selling Securityholder may authorize underwriters, broker-dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the Ordinary Shares at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay or the selling securityholder pays for solicitation of these contracts.

The Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties or sell Ordinary Shares not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use Ordinary Shares pledged by the Selling Securityholder or borrowed from the Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock and may use Ordinary Shares received from the Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, the Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge Ordinary Shares to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the Ordinary Shares short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our Ordinary Shares or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling securityholder in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Securityholder and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder. Upon our notification by the selling securityholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of Ordinary Shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file, if required by applicable law or regulation, a supplement to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing certain material information relating to such underwriter or broker-dealer and such offering.

In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121 (“Rule 5121”), that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Rule 5121.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholder against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other state securities law.

We have agreed pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the Exchange Agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective with respect to the Selling Securityholder until the earlier of the following: (i) the Selling Securityholder ceases to hold any Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus; and (ii) the date all Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus held by the Selling Securityholder may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation any volume and manner of sale restrictions that may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144I(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).

EXPENSES RELATED TO THE OFFERING

Set forth below is an itemization of the total expenses that are expected to be incurred by us in connection with securities being registered by the registrant.

29

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER U.S. SECURITIES LAWS

The Company is incorporated in Luxembourg and through its holding company Arrival Luxembourg SARL and its subsidiaries, conducts a majority of its operations outside the United States. The majority of the Company’s assets are located outside the United States. A majority of the Company’s officers reside outside the United States and a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against the Company or against these individuals outside the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the applicable securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws outside the United States could render you unable to enforce a judgment against the Company’s assets or the assets of the Company’s officers.

30

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters relating to the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus will be passed upon by Linklaters LLP, our U.S. and Luxembourg counsel.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Arrival as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, expresses an opinion that Arrival did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 because of the effect of material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states that Arrival had an ineffective control environment, insufficient policies and procedures that defined personnel’s internal control responsibilities, insufficient personnel, and ineffective risk assessment, and references management’s failure to effectively design and maintain controls in response to risks of material misstatement, management’s failure to design and maintain formal accounting policies and procedures, and ineffective IT general controls.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We are subject to the periodic reporting and other information requirements of the Exchange Act as applicable to a “foreign private issuer.” Accordingly, we are required to file reports and other information with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 20-F and other information we have filed electronically with the SEC. The SEC maintains an Internet website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information we have filed electronically with the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

We have filed with the SEC a “shelf” registration statement (including amendments and exhibits to the registration statement) on Form F-3 under the Securities Act. This prospectus, which is part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules to the registration statement. We have omitted parts of the registration statement in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. For more detail about us and the securities that may be offered by this prospectus, you may examine the registration statement on Form F-3 and the exhibits filed with it at the website provided in the previous paragraph.

We also maintain an Internet website at www.arrival.com. We make available, free of charge, the following documents as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC: our Annual Reports on Form 20-F; our reports on Form 6-K; amendments to these documents; and other information as may be required by the SEC. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not part of, and is not incorporated into, this prospectus.

When we update the information contained in documents that have been incorporated by reference by making future filings with, or specially-designated submissions to, the SEC, the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus is considered to be automatically updated and superseded.

PROSPECTUS

            , 2023

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Article 441-8 of the 1915 Law provides that the directors shall not incur any personal obligation by reason of the commitments of the company.

Article 441-9 of the 1915 Law provides that the directors, the members of the management committee and the managing executive officer shall be liable to the company in accordance with general law for the execution of the mandate given to them and for any misconduct in the management of the company’s affairs. The directors and members of the management committee shall be jointly and severally liable towards either the company or any third parties for damages resulting from this violation of the 1915 Law or the company’s articles of association. The directors and members of the management committee shall be discharged from such liability in the case of a violation to which they were not a party, provided no misconduct is attributable to them and they have reported such violation, as regards members of the board of directors, to the first general meeting and, as regards members of the management committee, during the first meeting of the board of directors after they had acquired knowledge thereof.

The Company’s articles of association, which became effective upon completion of the business combination, provide that directors of the Company are not held personally liable for the indebtedness or other obligations of the Company. As agents of the Company, they are responsible for the performance of their duties. Subject to the exceptions and limitations listed in the Company’s articles of association and mandatory provisions of law, every person who is, or has been, a director or officer of the Company (and his or her heirs, executors and administrators) shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by such person in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the Company, or, at the request of the Company, of any other company of which the Company is a shareholder or creditor and by which he or she is not entitled to be indemnified, and against amounts paid or incurred by him or her in the settlement thereof. The words “claim,” “action,” “suit” or “proceeding” shall apply to all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or otherwise including appeals) actual or threatened and the words “liability” and “expenses” shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities. However, no indemnification shall be provided to any director, officer or shareholder of the Company (i) against any liability by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, (ii) with respect to any matter as to which he or she shall have been finally adjudicated to have acted in bad faith and not in the interest of the Company, or (iii) in the event of a settlement, unless the settlement has been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the board of directors of the Company.

The Company’s articles of association provide that the right of indemnification provided by such articles of association shall be severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any director or officer may now or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained in such articles of association shall affect or limit any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel, including directors and officers, may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law. The Company shall specifically be entitled to provide contractual indemnification to and may purchase and maintain insurance for any corporate personnel, including directors and officers of the Company, as the Company may decide upon from time to time.

In connection with the business combination, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements provide that the Company will indemnify each of its directors and such officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and its charter and its bylaws.

The Company will also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which will cover certain liabilities of directors and officers of the Company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
