Introducing Arrival: Text for Subtitles

Denis

I’m getting this question like why arrival is different many times and I would say that actually everything is different, people, culture, technologies we are using, materials, components, method of manufacturing, the only thing which is probably similar to other companies that are products called van and bus. But everything else is different.

Automotive industry in the way how it is now was developing for more than 100 years. And it was a lot of innovations and a lot of optimization with the process. And today, we believe that industry with the conveyor line, which was invented more than hundred years ago, is on the maximum level of efficiency. What what we understood today, that is not enough, because we still get vehicles which are expensive, and that’s not sustainable. And that’s why we started arrival in January 2015. With idea to reinvent the way how vehicles are made.

Mike

Certainly one of the things that makes Arrival different is our microfactory approach to assembling and manufacturing vehicles.

A micro factory is a much much simpler process as compared to a legacy automotive manufacturing plant. A typical automotive assembly plant takes literally years to construct, we can do that whole thing in six months or less. So it’s maybe one six the amount of time and maybe one 10th of the capex if that.

Denis

The vehicle the way how they design today cannot be assembled by microfactories. Vehicle must be designed to be assembled by microfactories.

If you take a normal car today, only to make the body system, you need to have at least 1000 robots

In our case, all assembly processes less than 70 robots.

Rob

The brief was really clear from the start, how do we build vehicles at price parity with a conventional diesel vehicle. Now what that means when you’re putting a large, expensive heavy battery into a vehicle is that you need to make the body system lighter and lower cost.

The materials that we’re developing are thermoplastic based composites, and we can recycle those an infinite number of times, if you were to take a conventional steel panel and compare it to ours, then we’re less than half the weight. And we have far higher ductility. And what that means is the panel rebounds from impact. So rather than having to repair or replace, our panels actually survive much longer out in the field, massively reducing the potential repair bills for our customers.

Tracey

When you look at our elements components, they’re modular, they’re based on a 10 by 10, grid, they’re stackable, they’re plug and play. It’s, it’s amazing. Designing our products ourselves, owning the IP, giving us the ability to upgrade that, prioritise the products that we need, easy installation, easy replacement, agility for the future.

We invented grid based components, new material technologies to do the body systems and new software to manage our factories and also in vehicle software. So if you combine all those things together micro factories, components, materials, and the software, those are enabling technologies, which makes it possible to make best in class vehicles.

Avinash

We always get the question, why commercial vehicles first, and it’s actually because it’s an under served market. So right now you have very few vehicles that you can go and get and you’re not able to do anything bespoke or custom with those vehicles, you get what you get.

It’s a market that cares about the total cost of operating which electric vehicles enable, and arrival further enhances that. And then it’s a growing market. It’s a large segment, there’s 2 million vans by 2025, a total addressable market over 280 billion and arrival has the best in class product. We’re able to scale rapidly, we’re able to really use the technologies to enable these customers to improve their operations. We can work with cities and customers and we can create those at any volume. Again, using the same micro factory. So it’s a win win on both sides.

It’s the perfect time for companies like ours to step into this industry and actually change it. We found a way to break the role of economy of scale. We have a much better product, a green product, but it also has better pricing as well. And this perfect combination where you don’t need to have a compromise between being green or being efficient. So with our products, it comes together.

Exhibit 99.2

Dear Arrival team,

We have some exciting news to share about the company’s future.

Arrival is at an exciting moment in its journey. Over the next few years we will begin launching Microfactories around the world that produce our best in class products for our customers and cities. To enable this we have been considering a variety of ways to ensure Arrival is fully funded to execute our strategy in the long term. We have chosen to do this via a merger with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC). SPACs are companies that raise money from public market investors and then “merge” with a private operating company to provide the private business with a cash infusion and an alternative route to becoming a public company.

We are pleased to announce today that we will be combining with our SPAC partner, CIIG Merger Corp. (NASDAQ: CIIC). We went through an extensive process to select a SPAC partner that met our criteria: size, segment, management team, long term vision and willingness to contribute to the company’s growth. We selected CIIG given their alignment with our company strategy and strong management team. CIIG will partner with us long term and their CEO, Peter Cuneo (who is the ex-CEO of Marvel), brings a wealth of public company experience and will be joining our board.

Over the last few weeks, CIIG & Arrival have successfully signed commitments for $400MM in equity from an impressive group of institutional investors includingFidelity, BNP Paribas and Wellington.

The funds raised will be combined with up to $260M that CIIG had already raised from its existing investors for a total of up to $660M. We believe this will enable us to execute our business plan over the next three years to achieve profitability. Our goal is to finalize the combination in early Q1 2021, following the SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission) review process and the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions, including the approval of the CIIG stockholders.

At that time, Arrival’s new holding company, Arrival Group, will become a publicly traded company, which we expect to be listed on NASDAQ under a new ticker: ARVL. Notwithstanding that Arrival Group’s stock will be publicly traded, vested ARVL shares held by all Arrival employees may be sold after the lockup period ends. This lockup period is generally six months after the closing of the business combination.

This milestone is a great indicator of the value and potential of Arrival to our customers and society. We would not be in this position today without the hard work of everyone at Arrival. Our employees, past and present, have been a huge part of the company’s success and you should be extremely proud of your part in making this possible.

We must prepare quickly and efficiently for this new chapter. Becoming a public company necessitates us being more mindful of our new status and aware of both the opportunities and the risks associated with it. This change will demand of us greater accountability, diligence and reporting; consistently executing to targets; more formal and deliberate communications and information-sharing; and a higher expectation of behaviour both as a company and as individuals therein. At the same time it significantly enhances our ability to scale our technology and operations and accelerate our growth.

We are therefore asking that everyone continues to keep themselves laser-focused on the task at hand: exceeding our targets and delivering results. This transaction does not finish, and we do not get the capital, until closing. For this reason, these next few months remain critical to our long-term success, and we must execute with precision.

We’ve always been proud of our transparent culture but we also need everyone to exercise a greater degree of discretion and confidentiality externally. Today’s news will generate interest from customers, partners, the media and our shareholders and we will be reaching out to these important stakeholders to share this exciting development in a coordinated fashion. If you receive any inquiries, including from former Arrival employees, please do not share ANY information, and instead, forward them to ir@arrival.com. Please do not reply to any inquiries, comment to the press, or share any company information outside, even with your friends and family. Not even spouses. This is not an arbitrary ask — it is a legal mandate that we are obligated to follow during this process.

We also realize that you will have a lot of questions. We will continue to communicate with you as things evolve; however, many of the questions we will not be able to answer yet. There will be a lot of public disclosure in the coming weeks that you will have access to and there will be many other forms of additional communication. Please bear with us over the next 90 days as we work through a very complex process, bring it to success, and get the information we need to answer your questions. We will continue to hold regular company updates and will aim to answer questions during those discussions. If you have additional questions after November 18, please send your question(s) to q@arrival.com. We will consolidate all questions in this account and answer them as answers become available (we want to make sure to provide the right information, within the limits of what we are legally able to provide). It is important that you refrain from discussing these topics over Telegram, text, social media or email (other than by using the dedicated address).

We are thrilled that we’re embarking on this journey together. It wouldn’t be possible without you, and we have faith that we will all rise to meet the challenge together. Many folks have worked extremely hard to make this deal possible, including (but not limited to) Daniel, Mike, Tim, Victoria and Nicola and we want to do a special call out to their extremely long days and nights over the last several months. This is an extremely exciting time, however even when we are public and have the capital, what’s most important is not our share price, but bringing our transformative products to customers and creating positive impact for cities and communities around the world. So let’s keep focused on our core principles and culture no matter what comes next and this will ensure ongoing success for the company, teams and the teams and employees within Arrival.

In summary:

You will be able to sell your vested shares and shares you receive upon exercise of any vested options under your Employee Incentive Plans after the lockup period ends. This lockup period is generally six months after the closing of the business combination. Before you plan to sell any securities, you must wait for the official announcement of the end of the lockup period.

Congratulations to all on this important milestone and we look forward to speaking with you all soon!

Sincerely,

Denis & Avinash

UK electric vehicle maker Arrival to list on Nasdaq amid surging demand

Banbury-based firm to start mass production of electric buses and vans

Arrival, the UK-based electric van and bus startup, is to list on the Nasdaq stock exchange in New York, in a deal that is expected to value the company at more than £4bn.

The manufacturer, based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, will raise $660m (£498m) in cash as it prepares for mass production of its first electric bus within a year, followed by its electric van by early 2022.

The fundraising will be carried out via a merger with CIIG Merger Corp, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) run by Peter Cuneo, a former chief executive of the Marvel comics company. SPACs are also known as “blank cheque” companies as they are set up by investors specifically to find and buy another business.

Arrival has exploded on to the global automotive scene in the last two years – after previously running in secret – with a plan to use smaller, cheaper “microfactories” to produce electric vehicles using robots, instead of the production line model, pioneered by Henry Ford, to mass-produce cars.

Arrival, which now employs about 1,300 people mainly in the UK and the US, claims its van will be about the same price as comparable fossil fuel vans on the market, which cost about £35,000, and substantially cheaper than its electric van rivals. Vans will be 17% cheaper than diesel vans over their lifespan, a key factor for companies managing vehicle fleets, while total bus costs could halve, Arrival claims.

The listing announcement came on the same day that the UK government announced a ban on sales of cars with internal combustion engines after 2030 and hybrids after 2035, underlining the opportunity for promising electric vehicle manufacturers.

Avinash Rugoobur, Arrival’s chief strategy officer, said “we’re at an inflection point”, when the transition to electric vehicles will accelerate rapidly.

Rugoobur said Arrival would be generating cash by 2023, and would then add new microfactories at a rate of up to four a year.

He insisted the company would still be a British success story, despite listing in the US. The company’s headquarters and research and development will remain in the UK, in London and Banbury. However, it will establish production sites near to its markets around the world, including a previously announced factory in South Carolina in the US.

He also raised the prospect of Arrival moving into smaller passenger vehicles, with a focus at first on taxis, but with the possibility of cars for consumers as well.

“I don’t think there’s any limitation to the segments that we can eventually move into,” Rugoobur said.

The listing will also allow Arrival to capitalise on massive interest in electric vehicles from institutional and retail investors alike. An investment frenzy has propelled the US electric car pioneer Tesla to become the world’s largest carmaker by market value, worth more than $425bn, compared with Ford’s value of $35bn. The value of the electric lorry maker Nikola also surged during 2020, before it fell back after an alleged misselling scandal.

Arrival has already attracted hundreds of millions of pounds of investment, including from Korean carmakers Hyundai and Kia and investment manager BlackRock. About $400m of the latest fundraising will come from investors led by Fidelity, Wellington Management, BNP Paribas Asset Management and BlackRock.

In a sign of its rapid acceleration, previous deals valued Arrival at €3bn, compared with its $5.4bn expected valuation when it lists in New York.

The investment will be used to fund Arrival’s race to fill orders from customers that are now worth $1.2bn. UPS, the US delivery company, ordered 10,000 electric vans in January as part of its efforts to decarbonise its urban deliveries. Arrival also has letters of intent with other unnamed potential customers.

Arrival, which is headquartered in west London, was founded in 2014 by the Russian entrepreneur Denis Sverdlov, who sold telecoms firm and phonemaker Yota in 2013. Sverdlov will remain the company’s chief executive after the listing, with Cuneo becoming non-executive chairman.

The real work is just beginning ...

... following Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. A majority of Americans chose a different path. These voters rejected four years of divisiveness, racism and sustained assaults on constitutional democracy – but it is clear that the country remains bitterly divided. Removing the sitting president from the White House is one thing, but fixing America is another – because many of the problems facing America pre-date President Trump.

As the country begins a new chapter, the need for robust, fact-based journalism that highlights injustice and also offers solutions is as great as ever. In addition to a pandemic, the new president will need to confront a divided country, a stark racial wealth gap, a climate crisis and an electoral college that increasingly favors a demographic minority to dominate the levers of power.

The Guardian welcomes the opportunity to refocus our journalism on the opportunities that lie ahead for America minus the distraction of a daily White House soap opera. We will focus on the need to fix a broken healthcare system, restore the role of science in public life, repair global alliances, and address the corrosive racial bias in our schools, criminal justice system, housing and other institutions.

But we can’t do this on our own. We need your support to carry on this essential work. We rely to an ever greater extent on our readers, both for the moral force to continue doing journalism at a time like this and for the financial strength to facilitate that reporting.

We believe every one of us deserves equal access to fact-based news and analysis. We’ve decided to keep Guardian journalism free for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This is made possible thanks to the support we receive from readers across America in all 50 states.

UK electric vehicle maker Arrival is going public via SPAC at a $5.4 billion valuation

LONDON — British electric vehicle start-up Arrival announced Wednesday that it will go public through a merger with a U.S. blank-check company.

This year has seen a flurry of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, come to market as businesses have shunned the traditional initial public offering process. SPACs are companies that raise funds to finance a merger deal that takes the target firm public.

In Arrival’s case, the London-based company is set to combine with CIIG Merger Corp, a SPAC set up by U.S. businessman Peter Cuneo. Cuneo previously ran the American personal care brand Remington and comic book publisher Marvel as CEO. He will join Arrival’s board as non-executive chairman, while founder Denis Sverdlov will remain as CEO.

The deal gives Arrival an enterprise value of $5.4 billion — it was last privately valued at 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion) in January — with the combined company expected to raise a total of $660 million in gross cash proceeds. Arrival will list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ARVL,” with the deal expected to close by early 2021.

What is Arrival?

Arrival competes with Rivian, a company that has won backing from Amazon, in the electric van space. It received a massive order to the tune of 10,000 vehicles from U.S. parcel service UPS, which is also an investor in the company. Arrival’s other backers include Hyundai, Kia and BlackRock.

Arrival says it stands out from other electric vehicle makers as it’s purely focused on the commercial market rather than selling to consumers. Founded in 2015, Arrival says its technology is “vertically integrated” all the way from production to development.

Its two main vehicle products are vans and buses. Avinash Rugoobur, Arrival’s president, told CNBC that it expects to start production on its bus in the fourth quarter of next year, while van production will begin in the second quarter of 2022.

“Our technology is at a maturity level where we’re looking to scale the company rapidly now,” Rugoobur told CNBC in an interview Wednesday.

‘Microfactories’

Rugoobur added that the rise in the market value of Elon Musk’s electric car company Tesla — which is now the world’s most valuable automaker — was a validation of the green energy transition. Arrival’s vehicles can be sold for a price point similar to — and even cheaper than — that of diesel vehicles, he said.

Another thing that the company says makes it unique is its production model. The firm has developed what it calls “microfactories” which are much smaller than traditional auto production lines and can be packed into existing warehouse real estate.

It is aiming to make three to four of these factories — which take up about 20,000 square meters of space and cost $45 million to make — per year. The firm expects to make 10,000 vans a year from each factory.

SPACs have proven an increasingly popular way for companies to list in the U.S., with a number of businesses from space transportation firm Momentus to direct-to-consumer health company Hims merging with blank-check firms.

Nikola, one of the most notable electric vehicle companies to have taken the SPAC route, was the subject of deep controversy this year. Trevor Milton, Nikola’s CEO, stepped down following a scathing report from short-selling firm Hindenburg Research accusing him of fraud. Milton has called the allegations “false.”
