Change in Polestar’s Certifying Accountant Effective June 2026

The Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company has recommended that the Company change its independent registered public accounting firm to PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”), which will be effective following approval at the Company’s next Annual General Meeting (“AGM”), which is anticipated in June of 2026. Following such approval, PwC will be the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

The Audit Committee determined that the Company’s current independent auditor, Deloitte AB ("Deloitte"), will continue as its independent registered public accounting firm through the completion of Deloitte's audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and Deloitte's audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 (including the filing of the Company’s Form 20-F with the SEC) and until PwC’s appointment is approved and ratified by shareholders at the next AGM for fiscal year 2026.

Additional information regarding the auditor change will be included in our Form 20-F for the year 2025, which will be filed with the SEC.
