Currently we are involved in, or may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims or government investigations in the ordinary course of business relating to, among other things, commercial matters and contracts, intellectual property, labor and employment, discrimination, false or misleading advertising, regulatory matters, competition, pricing, tax, consumer rights/protection, torts/personal injury, real estate, property rights, data privacy/data protection, and securities. These matters also include the following: •Between March 7, 2022 and April 19, 2022, three alleged stockholders (the “Plaintiffs”) filed lawsuits against Rivian Automotive, Inc., certain of our officers and directors, and Rivian’s initial public offering (“IPO”) underwriters on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Rivian common stock in our IPO. The three suits were consolidated under the caption Crews v. Rivian Automotive, Inc., et al., 22-cv-01524-JLS-E (C.D. Cal.).

Notwithstanding this belief, there is always the risk that a proceeding, claim or investigation will have a material impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
