NWTN Reminds Shareholders About Share Lending and Recalling

Rhea-AI Summary

NWTN Inc. reminds shareholders about share lending and recalling due to recent increase in share volatility. Shareholders are advised to prevent short selling by opting out of share lending programs and recalling shares if already loaned out. Investors can move shares into a cash account, opt out of securities lending programs, or transfer shares to the Company's transfer agent. The company emphasizes that the information provided is not investment advice and advises shareholders to consult their financial advisors.

DUBAI, UAE, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NWTN Inc. (Nasdaq: NWTN), an eco-conscious mobility technology company bringing passenger-centric green premium mobility solutions to the world ("NWTN" or the "Company"), today issues this announcement to its shareholders.

The company has seen a significant increase in its shares' volatility in the last few days.

The company would like to remind its shareholders that they can ask their brokerages NOT to lend their shares in order to reduce the number of shares being sold short. The public float of the company shares is still relatively small. Thus, an increase in short selling could quickly drive the share price down.

If shares are currently loaned out by brokerage firms or otherwise held in margin accounts, shareholders can contact their brokers to have their shares recalled, if they do not want to make their shares available for lending.

After recalling their shares, shareholders can then hold their shares in a cash account, opt out of any securities lending programs, or move their shares into book entry at the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

If investors decide to instruct their brokers not to make their shares available for lending, the following is a sample of the language they can use in their email or letter to their brokerage:

[Broker Name]
[Broker / Brokerage Address] or [Broker / Brokerage Email]
My Account [Account Number]

Dear Sir or Madam:

Please accept this written instruction to ensure that the following securities are held in my cash account only. I hereby expressly opt-out of any securities lending programs and instruct you to not loan out any of my shares. Additionally, as applicable, please immediately recall any shares that are currently on loan.

[Number] shares of NWTN Inc.

Please confirm receipt and compliance with this request.

The Company encourages investors to speak with their financial advisor(s) about any transactions and strategies such as using cash accounts to hold their securities instead of margin accounts and the lack of liquidity resulting from or costs of transferring and holding their shares at the Company's transfer agent to ensure they are appropriate for the investors' individual circumstances.
