AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE 13D
The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by CYVN Investments RSC Ltd (“CYVN Investments”) on
July 24, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on December 20, 2023, and Amendment No. 2 filed on December 27, 2023. This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall
be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is supplemented by the following:
On February 26, 2024, Forseven Limited (“Forseven”), an affiliate of CYVN Investments, entered into a technology license agreement (the “Technology License Agreement”) with NIO Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. (“NIO”), a subsidiary of the Issuer.
Pursuant to the Technology License Agreement, NIO will grant a non-exclusive and non-transferrable worldwide license to Forseven to use certain of NIO’s existing and future technical information, technical solutions, software and intellectual
property rights related to or subsisting in NIO’s smart electric vehicle platforms (collectively, the “Licensed Technologies”) for (i) the research and development, manufacture, sale, import and export of vehicle models sold or marketed under
Forseven brand(s) meeting pre-agreed manufacturer’s suggested retail price (“MSRP”) thresholds (excluding tax) under the Technology License Agreement (collectively, the “Licensed Products”), and (ii) the provision or procurement of certain
after-sales services for the Licensed Products to its users.
Under the Technology License Agreement, Forseven will pay NIO technology license fees comprising a non-refundable, fixed upfront license fee plus royalties determined based on the future sales of Licensed Products by Forseven. Unless terminated in
accordance with provisions provided in the Technology License Agreement, the Technology License Agreement will remain valid until the end of production of the Licensed Products or the expiration of Forseven’s obligation to provide after-sales services
to its users. Either party may terminate the Technology License Agreement under certain conditions. In addition, NIO may
terminate the Technology License Agreement under certain conditions, including if a company that owns one or more automotive brands and sells vehicles under such brand(s) to the market obtains
control of Forseven.
Further, pursuant to the share subscription agreement, dated December 18, 2023, by and between the Issuer and CYVN Investments, CYVN Investments will be entitled to nominate two directors to
the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (each of such persons, a “Purchaser Designee”, and collectively the “Purchaser Designees”). Effective on February 7, 2024, Eddy Georges Skaf and Nicholas Paul Collins, both Purchaser Designees, were
appointed as new directors on the Board. Mr. Skaf is a director of CYVN Investments, the Chief Investment Officer of CYVN Holdings L.L.C., an affiliate of CYVN Investments, and a director of Foreight Limited and Forseven, both affiliates of CYVN
Investments. Mr. Collins is the Chief Executive Officer of Forseven.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of the cover page of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. Such information is based upon on 1,932,063,749 Class A Ordinary Shares
outstanding as of December 31, 2023 (based on information provided by the Issuer). Shares beneficially owned represent approximately 20.1% of the total Ordinary Shares outstanding, based upon an aggregate of 2,080,563,749 Ordinary Shares issued and
outstanding, which is the sum of (i) 1,932,063,749 Class A Ordinary Shares plus (ii) 148,500,000 Class C Ordinary Shares (based on information provided by the Issuer).
(c) There have been no transactions by CYVN Investments or the Scheduled Persons in the securities of the Issuer during the past sixty days.
(d) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, as amended, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale
of, the Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by CYVN Investments.
(e) Not applicable.
